Stop by and give them some love for supporting our community

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)

Does anyone have any favorite study spots around Burien area? I personally don’t really like cafes because of the limited desk space (lots of papers and notebooks) KCLS library is decent but lots of homeless. I don’t mind it too much but wondering if there’s any other spots 😁

Hello!

I'm looking for a place to get our chef knives sharpened. Any recommendations would be welcome.

Thank you!

Hello! I’ll be your average tourist for the 1st visiting Seattle. Me and my husband will be traveling and staying in burien. We won’t have a car but are willing to do public transportation. My question is, how do I get to downtown Seattle and see all the “tourist attractions “ if im traveling from the burien transit station. Please explain to me like I am 10 because I am very new to all of this 😭

Thanks!

Rumor has it the shootings and death are tied to the United Methodist Church/Homeless Camp at 130th and 1st Ave

VIDEO: Four teens arrested by Burien Police Department/King County Sheriff's Office in suspected car theft ring at SeaTac’s Angle Lake station, and here's video from police.

The attorney for a downtown Burien restaurant owner charged in three alleged tire slashing incidents says one case has been dismissed and another is expected to be dismissed Nov. 10. Michele Godina, identified in police reports as the owner of Piacere Trattoria Italiana, was charged with third-degree malicious mischief in three complaints dated April 16, 2026: https://b-townblog.com/burien-restaurant-owner-admitted-slashing-tires-police-report-says-attorney-says-one-case-dismissed/

This is not to have an opinion or report on ice agents active locations. This is just a public safety announcement to look both ways for ice SUV’s in the area to prevent potential accidents. Stay safe!

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.

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.
