Burien Undressed has a sister site Burien.biz dedicated to the Businesses of Burien.
- Burien Business is about commerce. We understand the positive economic impact of keeping dollars circulating within the local economy.
- Burien Business is about Environment. A strong economy is a sustainable economy, and a sustainable economy is one with as many built-in local networks as possible.
- Burien Business believes in Community Well-Being. Locally owned businesses build strong neighborhoods by sustaining communities, linking neighbors, and by contributing more to local causes.
- Burien Business believes in Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship fuels America’s economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class.
- Burien Business is about protecting Local Character and Prosperity. By choosing to support locally owned businesses, you help maintain diversity and distinctive flavor.
- Burien Business is about Environmental Sustainability. Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers-which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.
- Burien Business wants Product Diversity. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.
We want to make staying local with purchasing decisions as easy as possible for all consumers. Subscribe to our RSS Feed here for updates, profiles and information on Burien Businesses.

Over the past year I’ve been reading Robs World. I personally have not taken the time to keep up on how to live a greener life or read books and websites on how to be more sustainable so I appreciate the time and dedication that has been put into his blog. I find Rob’s Blog has so much information right there for me, I can pick and choose the things that I can adapt into my life to help make a difference. It has been inspirational in several ways, encouraging us all to be a bit more green and giving advice on how we can all participate to reduce waste: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Repair. What a lovely idea and it has a comical twist that I appreciate, besides I never met a Pisces I didn’t like. After reading one of his articles I immediately went out and bought metal water containers for my kids. Aaaaah, how many plastic water bottles do we go through a week! Now we use filtered water at home and our new containers, just that one change made me feel better. He also gives gardening tips and advice. Along with challenges that will hopefully educate and motivate you. Like the Buy Sustainably Challenge or info about the 100 mile diet. Rob has personally turned his yard into a certified Wildlife Habitat and you can too!
Lets embrace the challenge of being thrifty and sustainable. Read Rob’s Blog!
You can also visit the Sustainable Burien website; an organization started in January of 2008. We recognize the need to promote and participate in the creation of a sustainable community in Burien. We invite all residents and businesses to participate in creating a sustainable local community by sharing their ideas, passions, knowledge and talents.

No Strings Attached is a twist on the original story of the talking puppet. In this play within a play, Carl becomes Pinocchio, a magical marionette, and learns about life through a series of bad decisions and mishaps that result in transforming him into a donkey. Along the way, he meets hip-hopping, swinging, and rock ‘n’ rolling characters who attempt to train him to be a good “woodenhead.” Finally, Pinocchio redeems himself by saving Geppetto.

I had the pleasure to stop into 909 awhile back and Steve Olson was playing. It was my favorite music they’ve had there so far. Steve provides a pleasant atmosphere and really great music to listen to or sing along. It’s worth going out of your way to make plans to come by and enjoy yourself.
Steve Olson will be returning to the 909 Coffee and Wine Bistro on Saturday night, January 31st from 8:30 to 11:30. The last time I played there it was FANTASTIC!. This is a really nice little place to sit and relax and listen to music and have some extremely good food. It is not a large venue so if you plan on making it please call ahead at 206-243-7909 to make reservations. I really hope to see you there again or for your first time. I know you’ll love this place.
