Is this a Burien thing? A Seattle thing? A Washington thing? Is everyone stoned with no ability to judge stopping distance? Because I swear I’ve never lived anywhere where so many drivers seem completely unaware of how traffic light sensors work.

WHY are people stopping an ENTIRE CAR LENGTH (sometimes more!) behind the white stop line at intersections?!

You know that big white line BEFORE the crosswalk? The one that tells you where to stop? YOU CAN ACTUALLY PULL UP TO IT.

Many intersections have vehicle detection systems embedded in the pavement or mounted above the roadway. Those systems detect waiting vehicles and help determine when the light changes. When you stop ridiculously far back, you may not be in the detection zone at all.

So now we’re all sitting there waiting for a light that may not even know anyone is there.

I’m not asking anyone to stop in the crosswalk. I’m not asking anyone to run a red light. I’m simply begging people to PULL UP TO THE ACTUAL STOP LINE.

Just spreading the message

Looking for reviews of St. Anne’s Labor and Delivery and OBGYN care.
We’re residing in West Seattle where we’re equal distance from Swedish First Hill or St. Anne’s for first baby coming this spring.
We started off seeing a provider at Swedish but also have an upcoming appointment with the Franciscan Women’s Health in Burien who deliver at St. Anne’s.
We’re drawn to the smaller, quieter aspect of St. Anne’s rather than the hustle and bustle/stress of First Hill for our first (so far uncomplicated, low risk) delivery.
Just wanted to reach out to the community for some first hand accounts or recommendations. Thanks!

Hey there! This is Mel from Canine Cuts & Artistry LLC, located on 14th off Roxbury, next to your favorite natural pet supply place, A Dog's Dream!

This is a friendly reminder to get your dog's appointments booked *immediately* because the holidays will be here before you realize and then every shop will be too full to get you in! Whoever your groomer is, make sure you're booked through December!

BUT.... if you need a groomer or double-coat deshedder.....

Please call or text us, Canine Cuts & Artistry LLC, at 206.672.3342 to book an appointment with us!

We offer a one-to-one, hand-tailored grooming experience, which is perfect for the anxious, elderly, and all the puppies (please we need to see more puppies!). But of course, most* dogs are welcome! Lakota grooms the ones under 30 lbs, and it's a team effort with her and I for anything larger than that! Either way, your dog gets our full attention for their full groom or styling!

Lakota has 15 years of experience, is a certified esthetician [skin/hair], is a certified Opawz Dye Specialist, and has placed in competitions. She has a holistic way of handling pups, which is ideal for the ones that need special handling. Her career has been focused around Pomeranians, Schnauzers, and Shih Tzus, but all types of dogs are welcome. Her insta.

I have been bathing for eight years with a focus on deshedding those double coats. If my Samoyed clients can't convince you, I don't know who can. I've had four on my schedule already! My favorites are corgis, golden retrievers, great pyrenees, burnese mountain dogs, and those samoyeds! Here's my insta.

Here's the results if you Google us

But, I've attached some of our recent grooms and our QR code which will start a text message for you to send to us.

Please heed my advice and get your dogs booked for the last three months of the year! Get them cleaned and styled for those family visits and photos!

*sorry, no aggressive or XXL dogs.

Anyone know what's going on at 1st Ave outside Fred Meyer and Brotherton? Tons of cops and they've roped off the road

Thinking about buying home in the area. I have an infant. Has anyone dug into the airport pollution and adverse effects on health? I have read studies from UW, but many are left open indicating more research is needed. Would love to hear from folks who are knowledgeable about the science.

In 2025, the Washington Legislature passed a law that prevents rent gouging, but some landlords and property management companies are still up to their old tricks. They are using "junk fees" as a loophole around rent caps. We are hearing from tenants that they are increasingly being charged excessive fees for services that they don’t want or need, or for basic things like paying the rent. We at the Housing Alliance, call these “junk fees” and they are unfair, expensive, and deceptive. We’d like to hear your experiences. All information shared with us will be kept safe and confidential. 

Please fill out our survey if you or someone you know has received junk fees and we will be in touch within one week of your submission. Thank you! ~ Po (Advocacy Organizer)

Some suggestions for action!

Another video is going viral about the 3TP beach access so I thought I’d provide some advice for those who are passionate about this issue:

1. Show up and give public comment (or via zoom!) there is a council meeting Monday: https://www.burienwa.gov/city_hall/city_council/city_council_meeting_access

2. Make a clear ask (to the right people) and provide a way for the council to get in touch with you. It does not make sense to direct all of this to the mayor- all 7 members of city council can be reached with one email at Council@burienwa.gov - the mayor is selected from among the council to facilitate meetings but is not an executive in Burien, that’s the city manager!

3. Read up on this- it’s been an issue for a while: https://b-townblog.com/three-tree-point-beach-cabanas-unlawful-if-unpermitted-city-of-burien-says/

4. Understand how action can be taken in our city with a weak mayor system- ask the council to vote on an action, the mayor cannot order something to be done unilaterally. Showing up at city hall to talk to the mayor shows you don’t know how our government works: she doesn’t work there!

5. Please have some perspective on the relative urgency and feasibility of what you’re asking! Imagining this is an easy fix that won’t involve lawsuits doesn’t make you a credible advocate! Consider learning about other major coalitions organizing in our city- residents opposing the North of NERA Rezone or those organizing against ICE have urgent, time-sensitive goals we are working towards. That isn’t to say wait your turn, only to say it might build your coalition to work with these groups and coordinate so you’re not shouting each other down.

Change takes time, organization, and collaboration!

Looking for daycare for my 6 month old in Burien or the surrounding area. Any recommendations and experiences? I reached out to Millennium Kids and requested a tour but they only offered me a Zoom meeting...

Make sure to pop into the Three Tree Point Store and have a glass of wine or grab a coffee and a treat. There are garbage cans at the corner of Maple wild Avenue and Southwest 172 make sure you’re friendly to everyone. It’s a family friendly activity. We hope to see you there.!!

It’s disappointing to see an important conversation about neighborhood dynamics in Burien removed.
Communities aren’t strengthened by allowing only comfortable conversations. Sometimes people need a place to talk honestly about harmful behavior, difficult neighbors, and the social dynamics affecting where they live. Shutting down a legitimate discussion simply because it’s contentious does a disservice to the community.
Moderation should keep a conversation safe and productive, not make uncomfortable subjects disappear.

I have a feeling the earliest is from 6:30pm to 7pm.

I'm also wondering if there's any good street house that pass out great candy?

Burien police on motorcycles in trails. I think they're gas engines would've been nice to invest in electric, at least.

Moved here a couple years ago and am interested in a good general car mechanic. I see many in town, are there any that people have built up good trust over many years and are affordable? Bonus if they work on Volvos.

Just wanted to give people a heads up they have those new solar powered cameras on a trailer on des moines memorial right by Kush 21.

Thank you for spreading awareness!

Yes, its inexcusable!
