Some of my earliest memories are of the smell of ink.
My father, Jerry Robinson worked for a newspaper and when I was just six months old he bought one.
Not because he was rich. He wasn’t. He had four boys and we lived in a modest home up by Top Hat east of White Center. He was smart though and incredibly hard working. He convinced the owner of the paper that he was trustworthy and John Muller made him an offer. He’d sell him the White Center News by letting him pay it off over time.
Thus the course of my life was set. Certainly it has been shaped by many things but the core themes of words, images, stories, the relationships found only in communities and yes the smell of ink are echoing for me now.
A fire damaged the Locker Room Tavern in White Center on Wednesday morning April 21.
The fire broke out around 5:00 am and units from North Highline Fire, Tukwila, and Seattle all responded to the blaze which became a 2 alarm fire after the first reports.
Flames were seen coming through the roof according to witnesses on the scene. it was declared out around 6:30 AM.
Most of the damage appeared to be in the attic and on the roof of the building according to officials.
No one was injured in the fire and no cause or damage estimates were as yet available.
King County Executive Dow Constantine will lead an Earth Day kickoff for 3 Million Trees, an initiative that will increase urban tree canopy, accelerate protection of forestland that is absorbing carbon now, and prepare forests for climate impacts.
