From the Los Angeles Times, "When 45 varsity football players arrived at the school's gymnasium in July, they anticipated performing conditioning exercises. Instead, each was handed an envelope and told to find a quiet spot where he could read what was inside and reflect.
"What happened next took everyone by surprise. For the next 15 minutes or so, wherever Matsumoto looked he saw players sobbing — against walls, in corners, bent over in chairs."
Sport Clips in Shoreline will help ease back-to-school budgets with discounted haircuts now through September 17. As many head back to the classroom, local owner, Wendy Liu, wants to do her part to help families get ready for the academic year.

"The task force has produced recommendations that will help immigrants and refugees in our region flourish, achieve their full potential, and contribute to our region's prosperity."

The City has strongly and consistently advocated for Bus Rapid Transit service along 145th Street. It is necessary to ensure transit success in conjunction with the light rail station at 145th Street.
The Council has recognized that the parking garage at the station is insufficient to handle the ridership demands of the station, and that those riders will likely drive to the station and park in the surrounding area absent a consistent and reliable transit alternative.

Consumers looking for health insurance outside of the annual open enrollment period should be wary of short term disability plans. These plans may be marketed as alternatives to Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance, but they could leave you without adequate coverage and facing financial penalties at tax time.
Originally, short-term disability plans were sold as a stop-gap measure until you could get real major medical coverage. After the ACA kicked in, people had many other options for coverage, but these limited plans were still being marketed to consumers as a viable alternative.

"We worked together," said Mary Kirchoff, Executive Director of Wonderland Developmental Center. Representatives from each group met weekly to update each other on their space search and make sure they weren't competing with each other.
"Although we serve four school districts, Shoreline is our biggest school district. We wanted to stay rooted here."
"At first," said Kirchoff, "we wondered about being so far from the center of Shoreline, but the site is easy to find, close to businesses and restaurants, and along two bus lines.
"The Richmond Beach community has been extremely warm and welcoming, and really made us feel like part of the neighborhood.
"Since our mission is to support developmentally delayed and disabled children and their families, we’re thrilled to have landed on our feet in an historic place built for learning."
"Later this summer we will add an ADA entrance in the front,” said Kirchoff, “and the Broadview Garden Club has already generously begun to clear away some of the overgrown foliage to expose beautiful gardens, as well as places to park."

In May 2016 the Washington State Dental Commission charged dentist Shohreh Khorsandi (DE00007812) with unprofessional conduct.
Charges say Khorsandi provided substandard care to multiple patients. Allegations include failing to take necessary tests, improper billing and/or recordkeeping, inadequate records of medications, not getting patients’ informed consent, and failing to adequately resolve dental problems.
Khorsandi's practice location is advertised as the Ballinger Dental Clinic, 20036 19th Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155.
Once the dental commission issues a final order, Dr. Khorsandi will have a period of time to answer the charges. The commission will then determine what disciplinary action, if any, will be taken.
Dr. Khorsandi was previously charged by the commission. As a result she was required to take continuing education classes and her license was on probation for two years. She was in good standing until the most recent charges, filed in May of this year.
