School is getting ready to start here in the Highline School District. Now that every office supply store has naked shelves, our kids are ready to go. New backbacks, new shoes, new clothes, new lunchbox, and a new attitude. Well not quite. Approaching the 2008-2009 school year and the onset of soccer practices are bringing back brrrrrrr memories! Parents and grandparents will soon be huddled together again, while our maniac children feverishly kick the ball around.
There are 33 public schools in the Highline District, for a list of them and details for each individual public school click here.
If you would like to research Private schools in the Burien area; you will find K-8 offered at St. Francis of Assisi and grades 9th-12th offered at JF Kennedy High School. For a comprehensive look at these two schools, click here.

I never get tired of our Puget Sound views. Burien has miles and miles of beach and mountains that make for a perfectly breathtaking sunset view. Take a look at these photos taken at Three Tree Point and Seahurst Park:

One huge benefit of living in Burien…you’re only 1.62 miles away from Nordstroms. I just recently visited our new Westfield Mall in Tukwila and now there are so many more reasons to celebrate! The only words that come to mind are; yipee!! yoo-hoo!! OMG I’m so excited!! I met a friend at Joey’s the other day and only had 20 minutes to dissect everything. That got eaten right up in Sephora. $200 in 20 minutes, thank goodness I didn’t have an hour.
Being able to go to Joey’s so close to home, yummy tuna tacos, I feel so blessed.
A two story Forever 21…if the picture is blury, it’s because my hands were shaking from excitment.
And a new AMC Theater. The seats and sound are awesome. My kids and I just saw the creepy Batman movie there. You get to put the butter on the popcorn yourself and they have milk duds too, my favorite
Valet parking is on the Southside for $6.00
There is also Duke’s Chowderhouse, Racha Thai & Asian Kitchen, and Blue C Sushi. For a full directory click here.

Look who’s new in town…
Actually, it’s a much friendlier face. Ronnie Santone, owner of Hey Paison here in Burien.
