Discover Burien and 16 area restaurants have created a discount coupon book for free meals, desserts and beverages in support of Highline Medical Center's Campaign for a new ER.

The idea, according to Debra George, co-owner of Mark Restaurant, is to promote dining while supporting a great cause with the Passport Book, which sells for $10.

"This is a fun and easy way for folks to support the hospital," says George, "and at the same time get discounts at their favorite restaurants; it can pay for itself the first time you use it!"

Passport books are being sold at the gift stores and cafeterias on Highline's Burien and Tukwila campuses, and at all participating restaurants: 909 Coffee & Wine, Angelo's Ristorante, Archery Bistro, Aussie Pie Company, B-Town Burgers & Shakes, Bison Creek Pizza & Pub, Emerald City Smoothie, Hey Paison!, La Costa Mexican Restaurant, Mark Restaurant & Bar, Mick Kelly's Irish Pub, Sal's Deli, Sidestreet Kitchen and Bar, Tin Room, Yo Bistro, and the Burien Farmer's Market Hot Dog Stand (beginning in May).
