Information from North Highline Unincorporated Area Council

Please join the North Highline Unincorporated Area Council on Thursday, Sept 5, 7pm (North Highline Fire Station, 1243 112th Street, SW) for two very important presentations.

As previously noted we will be hosting representatives from Public Health who will provide information about eligibility for Medicaid and the Health Benefit Exchange. This is a great opportunity to get information about the new health care laws that go into effect January 1, 2014, with enrollment starting October 1, 2013.

We are also pleased to be hosting Zachary Howard, Assistant Planner for the Puget Sound Health, Equity and Sustainability Toolkit Program. Mr. Howard will present information regarding housing affordability, economic opportunity, land use and environmental justice as it relates to the Puget Sound Region and specifically to the unincorporated North Highline community (White Center, Boulevard Park, Top Hat Glendale, Beverly Park). There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion.

In a overwhelmingly powerful display of talent and mastery of their own back catalog of hit songs, Heart carried the torch for Led Zeppelin lit earlier in the evening by none other than Jason Bonham, son of the late drummer for the classic rock band, John Bonham on Aug 31 at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival.

West Seattle's own Lou Magor, owner and impressario at Kenyon Hall on 35th SW joined Heart and Bonham on stage for the final song, Stairway to Heaven.

Earlier in the day Magor, providing keyboards, performed with the Total Experience Gospel Choir led by Pat Wright, on the Starbucks stage.

Magor's appearance with Heart capped an extraordinary night that began with Bonham and his band providing the "Led Zeppelin Experience." They performed amazingly accurate versions of some of Led Zeppelin's best songs, dipping into a couple of lesser known songs during the set including "Nobody's Fault But Mine" from the Presence album.

Then Heart took the stage after an intermission and rocked the crowd with over an hour of their own hits from "Barracuda" to" Dog and Butterfly".
