Dozens of Burien families are looking for a new place to live after they found out they would be evicted from their apartments my new management.

At the Fox Cove apartments in Burien, there are 36 unites. Many of the people who live there are worried in the next few days they may be homeless.

Burien City officials say a new company bought the Fox Cove apartments in September. City officials say the new company has plans to restore the complex and most likely will raise rates.

People who live in the complex say they’ve received notices to vacate or face eviction since the new company took charge.

“You want to make this place a brand-new place, but what about the people who live here now,’ said Jay Kayy.

The word discussed by friends at a Sunday night dinner last week was "hoax." It's a timely word in this current political climate. The word likely comes from "hocus" as in "hocus-pocus." It's used both as a noun meaning malicious deception and as a verb, "to cheat or swindle."

Hoaxes, in fact, are second cousins to folkloric stories known as Urban Legends, too-good-to-be-true experiences that are often said to have happened to a friend of a friend—FOAF for short.

During the years when I worked as a Seattle city columnist, I heard frequently from readers. They told me street stories, true sightings and honest accounts. But I also heard other stories, strange incidents that were difficult to verify or debunk.

Progressive passing powered the Mt. Rainier girls soccer team to a comeback 4-3 NPSL 4A North Division win against Kentwood at Valley Ridge Park in SeaTac on Friday afternoon of Oct. 19.

Tied at 3-3, the Rams were searching for a finishing kick to take victory to the house.

In the 76th minute, the well conceived passing attack provided forward Karli Yoshida-Willians the chance to knock home the lead goal for Mt. Rainier after an up ball.

Although the Conquerors remained dangerous, the Ram passing attack backed by a rejuvenated defense kept Kentwood on its heels for most of the remaining minutes.
MRHS (4-6-3 League) remained on the outskirts of post season eligibility. The Rams need to win their last two games and hope for some help.

A woman called 911 Monday at 9:10 p.m. after receiving an alarm notification from her office in the 1400 block of Northwest 85th Street.

When police arrived they found the rear door had been broken and could hear a person inside. The suspect exited the building and began to walk away, ignoring the officer’s orders to stop.  The  22-year-old male suspect then attempted to run but was captured a block away.

Officers searched the man and found documents taken from the office as well as cameras and narcotics believed to be taken from the office.

Officers reviewed the surveillance video from the office and saw a second person inside the building who was not found by officers.  Police described the unknown suspect as a white male, 5 feet 10 inches tall, and 170 pounds wearing a blue hat and a dark blue coat.
