With the new Highline High School (HHS) under construction, the school is taking the opportunity to update another part of their school--their logo. HHS is asking for input from students, staff, alumni and community so that the updated logo reflects today’s school community and honor’s Highline High School’s long and proud history.
The intent is to continue the tradition as Highline High School Pirates, drenched in gold and purple. The goal is to update the visual representation in a way that is inclusive of all individuals and groups in our Highline community.
On Dec 23, 2019 Shirley Rae Woods finally succumbed to her long battle with vascular dementia, mental illness, heart disease, a concussion, strokes, a night of seizures, two stressful marriages, a difficult and risky delivery, paying the bills and living with a family of people who dreamed of escaping from each other. Shirley is survived by her son John Parker Woods of West Seattle. She will be missed.

Remediation work at the Lockheed Martin West Seattle Superfund site began on August 13, 2018, with the mobilization of dredge platforms, barges, and water quality monitoring boats on site.
Removal of the pilings and debris in the former shipway and along the shoreline began the next day. To date, more than 750 piles were removed.
Significant delays occurred when union crane operators went on strike August 21. Work resumed on September 10. Subtidal removal continued on September 12 and dredging began five days later. Approximately 1,237 tons of debris were removed.
In mid-October, an issue with a corroded sheet pile wall in the former shipway resulted in the redesign of the excavation again causing significant challenges and delays.

Just off Ambaum Boulevard, at 124th St, I bought a house in 1957. It had a long gravel drive at the end of 14th SW with an open view of Puget Sound over the tops of the trees that make up the Salmon Creek ravine. The yard was the gateway to exploration of a verdant forest. Our boys set about seizing territory like Alexander the Great.

Every city has its essential question, an important query that's sure to be asked of newcomers. Down South the signature question might be something like, "Who are your people?" In the Northeast, it's more like, "Where'd you go to school?" In the West, newbies are often asked, "Where are you from?"
Seattle does things a little differently. Here in the Northwest corner we -- newcomers and longtime residents alike -- are asked, "What are you reading?" There's little doubt that people here are apt to be judged on what's taking up space on their bookshelves and bedside, what's on their iPad or E-readers. Seattle, first and foremost, is a city of readers.
When Metro established the transit hub across from Westwood Village on Barton Street SW the intention was to take pressure off the middle of West Seattle at the Junction and make room for other connections to points south in both the Metro and Sound Transit system. That new hub created in 2013 resulted in significant shift in bus traffic in the area and that in turn had an impact on the roads in the area.
Today the road bed on 26th SW is badly broken in-between where the C Line heads south to then turn west on Roxbury, But Barton Street is also damaged with a whole series of cement panels that comprise the road bed, tilted up several inches. The most likely cause is the buses that don't just travel down the road, but along the south side of the road, stop and wait in line there. But at this point, there's no announced plan to address this damage and there is nothing in the budget to fix it. This despite the fact that the forthcoming H Line will use this road too.
