SEATTLE, WASH. – On the second day of school, he walked into the bookstore without enough money to buy the calculator he needed for one of his classes at Highline College.

Minutes later he walked out, calculator in hand, thanks to a surprise bookstore gift card.

TWEET THIS: Students at Highline College were surprised with gift cards from Inspirus Credit Union to help them purchase college textbooks.

The shocked shopper was among 75 Highline College students who cashed in a total of $2,500 in gift cards – part of a “Welcome back to school” surprise – courtesy of Inspirus Credit Union. The credit union set up a booth outside the college’s bookstore and, as students filed in, invited them to draw for bookstore gift cards valued at $25 or $50 each.

“The look on their faces said it all,” said Inspirus Vice President of Marketing Sherry Lotze. “When you’re juggling work, school, and family on a tight budget, a little boost can make a huge difference.”

Any musical comedy based on a classic cult film will likely have its fan base pretty much built in. These fans familiar with the movie already know what fun and fright they’re in for. But for the rest of us, the title of Burien Actors Theatre’s season-opening show will have to give us a hint of what to expect. “No, they’re not doing Shakespeare or Ibsen this time.”

The Toxic Avenger was a 1984 camp horror flick that boasted three sequels and an animated children’s TV series spin off. Then, in 2008, it became an off-Broadway hit as a musical comedy. Hailed as “exuberantly silly” by the New York Times and “hilariously funny” by the NY Post, “Toxie” ran for over 300 performances. On Sept. 30, Burien Actors Theatre opened The Toxic Avenger, beginning a 5-weekend run through Oct. 30.

OLYMPIA – Most areas of Puget Sound will reopen for recreational crab fishing in October, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today.

Areas opening to sport crabbing on Oct. 7 include Marine Area 12 (Hood Canal) and the portion of Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) north of the Hood Canal Bridge to a line from Foulweather Bluff to Olele point.

In each area, recreational crabbing will be allowed seven days a week through Dec. 31.
