From North City Water District
North City Water District received a call last night around 10 pm from a concerned resident who saw water bubbling up in the street. Crews arrived and repaired the break in the 6" water main in the southbound lane of 5th Avenue NE.
Police arrived on site to block off the traffic while crews were repairing the water main.
City staff added "Road Closed" signage and barricades and sent out notices on Alert Shoreline.
The repair to the leak took about 6 hours. Two patches were made in the roadway. No customers were without water service during this time.
North City Water District would like to thank the Police Department for helping out while the crews got set up to complete the repairs. North City Water District will also continue to monitor the condition of the asphalt in this area and make repairs, if any, are necessary.
--Diane Pottinger, PE, District Manager, North City Water District

The production’s epic tales of love and war from ancient Hittite mythology are depicted in vivid, living color via the spectacular aerial acrobatics, giant puppets and contemporary dance that have become the troupe’s hallmark.
The plot has even been adapted into a novel, which will be available for sale at the performance (and at Third Place Books). The novelization is in keeping with the Cabiri’s mission to make esoteric mythology more accessible to the public.
The handmade puppets are also a hallmark of the Cabiri experience. Created by the Cabiri’s design team, each creature has three puppeteers inside it. The music is an original composition by Vasilis Fotopoulos.
We refer to our genre as ‘performative mythology.’ We take obscure academic works and bring them to life in an incredibly accessible way on stage.
The acrobats, aerialists, and dancers of the Cabiri are incredibly adept at depicting these larger-than-life, archetypal tales with passion, inspiration and a genuineness that really draws our audience members into the ancient tales we are telling.

But not so with the Scots, as they crushed all three opponents they faced in Yakima on their way to winning the school's first basketball state championship.
After the game, Scots coach Dori Monson told the press "Our goal was to be playing our best ball in February and March, and the girls came out and did just that. Jazlyn Owens raised her game throughout the tournament, especially tonight, to give us a fourth scorer to go along with Uju, Wurrie, and Julia Strand. Plus, she was a great floor leader".
"Lynnwood, Glacier Peak, Ed-Way and Arlington really helped us. They brought our intensity out".

It was everything a State Championship basketball game is supposed to be.
Back and forth, nip and tuck, rock 'em, sock 'em, well-played basketball between two evenly matched teams.
The sort of game that, had it lasted another twenty seconds, could have seen a different outcome.
In the end, when the clock showed all zeroes, the Clarkston Bantams defeated the Shorecrest Scots 60-59, to win the 2A Boys State Championship Saturday at the Yakima Sundome.
Daggy Menelik gave the Scots a 56-54 lead with just over two minutes to play, only to have tournament MVP Trevon Allen tie the score at 56 with a jumper of his own.
When Daggy sank a tough, twisting layup with 1:43 left, Scots' fans hoped that would be the dagger. Instead, the nearly unstoppable Allen coolly drained a 3-pointer to put Clarkston up by one, 59-58, with forty seconds left in the game.
Time out Scots.
When they absolutely, positively had to have a basket, Coach Brian Fischer drew up a play to get the ball to sophomore Philip Pepple in the low post. Pepple, a 6' 7" man-child, got the ball as planned, turned to the hoop, and was fouled while shooting.
Pepple made the first, to tie the game at 59, but missed the second.
Time out Bantams, with eleven seconds to go.
With everybody in the building knowing the ball would be put into Allen's hands, the Scots had athletic senior Aubry Victor guard him. Allen, an Idaho recruit, fired up a long shot with Victor covering him like a blanket - too closely, to the official's liking.
Victor was whistled for the foul with two seconds remaining on the clock. Allen missed the first free throw, made the second to break the tie, then missed the third shot. With no time outs remaining, the Scots desperation shot from 85 feet wasn't close.
Game over.
After the game, Coach Fischer told the press how proud he was of his team.
"They fought hard all post-season. We had our backs against the wall a few times and we always found a way to win. We were just one play away from winning it all. It hurts right now to come this close, but as time goes on, the months and years will go by and they'll have so much to be proud of. The journey has been a heck of a lot of fun".
