No need to RSVP, but if you have questions, contact Curtis Campbell at 206-393-4412.
“GMA willfully disregarded Washington state campaign finance laws,” Ferguson said. “The record-setting penalty illustrates how egregious GMA’s conduct was. It has been a multi-year effort to hold them accountable.”
“The State asks for over a million dollars in fees and costs,” Judge Hirsch’s letter reads. “GMA presents three challenges to the State’s cost bill. The court rejects those challenges and awards the fees and costs as requested.”
In her November 2016 ruling, Judge Hirsch found GMA’s violations were intentional, writing: “In light of all the evidence in the record, it is not credible that GMA executives believed that shielding GMA’s members as the true source of contributions to GMA’s Defense of Brands Account was legal.”
GMA then contributed $11 million of that $14 million to “No on 522.” In an effort to shield individual companies from required disclosure, the money was listed as coming from GMA, not the actual donors, such as Pepsi, Nestle and Coke.

Nine games later Shoreline CC is celebrating their 1st North Region championship since 2010 and only the 4th Region championship in the history of Shoreline Men’s Basketball.
About 9:39am Friday morning in the 18600 block of 8th Ave NW, a man on the first floor of an apartment building heard a thud and crying.
He found a 2 yr old neighbor boy on the ground. The boy had fallen from the 3rd floor balcony.
He apparently climbed up onto the BBQ then over the rail. He is at Harborview with serous injuries. Police are investigating.

"I loved having these cool guys for teammates and hanging around with them, guys I wouldn't have gotten to be with if not for basketball. And getting to compete for my school and help elevate school spirit is something I'll always remember".

"Shorecrest is very well coached. Coach Fischer makes you do things you don't want to do. They have three scorers who are hard to stop. We were lucky they didn't shoot well tonight, unlike how they shot in the District championship game against us."
Deep within the heart of Lake Forest Park lies a rare opportunity to save one of the last remnants of mature second growth forest.
Because of this the City of Lake Forest Park has a chance to purchase the largest remaining undisturbed second growth forest within its borders.
The site has become an important wildlife corridor and deer, coyotes, raccoons, fox, mountain beavers, along with over 20 bird species have been spotted there.
LFPSF has a successful track record of purchasing land for public green space as they were instrumental in the acquisition of the Grace Cole Nature Park for the city of Lake Forest Park. The LFPSF continues to provide volunteer based maintenance and restoration for the property and they envision a similar model for the 5-Acre Woods site.

This week, we bring you a lovely lady who is the personification of that idea.
She gives of her time, and gives of her energy. She is passionate and COMpassionate. She asks nothing in return for her work. And she keeps doing it week after week, year after year.

A glorious season ended with a resounding thud Wednesday night when the Shorecrest boys basketball team came a cropper against the Stanwood Spartans, 64-52 in the first round of the 3A State Tournament in the Tacoma Dome.
The Scots finished the year at 22-3, with two of their losses coming against Stanwood, the other at the hands of Mountlake Terrace. They notched wins against all four of the 4A teams they faced.
The last four minutes of the first half spelled doom for the Scots, as they committed turnovers on 7 straight possessions. The Spartans were able to break open a close game, extending their 17-16 lead midway through the second period to a 34-20 halftime lead.
Normally reliable guards Chris Lee and Malcolm Rosier-Butler couldn't have picked a worse night to go ice cold, combining for a measly 5 for 27 shooting from the field.
Philip Pepple did his level best to pick up his struggling teammates, scoring 16 points, hauling down 12 rebounds, and blocking 7 shots.
Simon Acker grabbed 8 rebounds and scored 9 points, falling just shy of a double-double in his final game. The slender Stanford-bound senior scholar reflected after the game what the experience of playing on his high school team had meant to him.
"I loved having these cool guys for teammates and hanging around with them, guys I wouldn't have gotten to be with if not for basketball. And getting to compete for my school and help elevate school spirit is something I'll always remember".
