" Mr. Sharkey seems to think that North Highline remaining unincorporated is an option. It is not. North Highline will have to be annexed by either Seattle or Burien.
Everyone should read the Berk & Assoc. study for themselves on the City of Burien's web page here.

Evidently, Mr. Sharkey either didn't read it or understand it. The report clearly states on the bottom of page 1 that, for this study "No Annexation" means "North Highline would remain unincorporated".
Since North Highline cannot remain unincorporated, the two options that need to be compared for the cost to Burien taxpayers are Annexation by Seattle and Annexation by Burien. "
