June 2017

Plan to attend the 12th annual Morgan Junction Community Festival produced by the Morgan Community Association (MoCA), which will be celebrated on June 17th, starting at 10 am and ending at 5 pm. This year’s festival will feature live music, kid activities, commercial vendor and community informational booths, and food carts. The festival takes place at Morgan Junction Park on California Avenue SW and in the parking lots behind local Morgan Junction businesses.

Kid Activities – Lots for the Kids at the Festival
Chief entertainment is The Bubbleman. He begins his always-pleasing wild and colorful show at 10:30 am in Morgan Junction Park.

The "Spatter of Morgan" will highlight the afternoon from 1 to 2 pm - this involves taking a turn shooting at a backdrop with a toy water gun filled with paint. Other activities, including several craft projects, a balloon twister artist, and face painters, start at 10 am and end at 3 pm.

A home burglary in north Burien was half solved very quickly when King County Sheriff's deputies apprehended a suspect shortly after the crime occurred.

According to Sgt. Cindi West the crime involved two suspects and took place in the 12600 block of 2nd Ave South around 12:45 pm on Monday.

One suspect was arrested and a second remained at large on Monday afternoon.

As we know, Seattle is now knee-deep in newcomers. Number crunchers say that 57 newbies arrive every single day. That influx has pushed the city's population up to 704,352.

Johnny and Joanie-come-latelies flock to Seattle attracted by interesting jobs, matchless scenery, mild climate, mouthwatering cuisine and the rhetoric of city boosters. They're drawn Chamber of Commerce hypsters who gave us catchphrases like "Say WA" and "Metronatural -- it's what makes Seattle unique" as well as the spell-checker slogan: "See-AT-L."

Now that we have squads of tenderfeet in our midst, what's needed is an updated version of "The Official Rules of Seattle," tips to help newcomers assimilate. Here are some basics:

Rule One. Never discard anything whatsoever without placing it in the proper bin. When I worked at the Seattle Times, there was even a bin for "Styrofoam peanuts."

Father’s Day is coming up this week---and so is my dad’s 95th birthday. I sure wish he was here to celebrate both occasions---but he’s been gone for thirty years. He was always my “old man” even though he never actually became one.

Digging through a bunch of photos the other day, I came across one from Father’s Day, 1964. I was startled. It was a photo of our entire family: My four brothers, our mom---and me dutifully facing the camera, posing in a conventional manner.

Except for Dad. He is facing backwards. Why? Maybe he thought the camera was located behind him. Or perhaps he was trying to demonstrate his love of the past. Or maybe he was showing off a new haircut. My guess? He did it because it looked funny.

The photo startled me because for all these years, I thought I was the one in our family who invented weird photo posing. But as I looked through other old pictures, I realized that shticky stuff was a regular part of my pop’s style.

Car prowler caught in act

Officers arrested a car prowler in West Seattle around 11 p.m. on Thursday, June 8. A caller reported that a man was breaking into a red SUV near SW Avalon Way and SW Spokane St. When officers arrived in the area, they found a 35-year-old suspect sitting inside the vehicle, rummaging through a gym bag. The police ordered the man to come out and found that he had already pocketed a GPS unit. The suspect was arrested and booked into King County Jail for theft.
