An open house on annexation scheduled in Boulevard Park

Saturday, August 16, 2008

In response to questions about what annexation will mean for North Highline, the City of Burien will be holding a series of annexation informational open houses at various locations.

The first open house is Aug. 28 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Boulevard Park Presbyterian Church, 1822 S. 128th St.

There will be a presentation followed by a question and answer session. Refreshments will be provided. Supervised play activities for children will be available and interpreter services can be arranged if requested in advance.

On May 19, the Burien City Council passed Resolution 278, calling for annexation by election of a portion of the North Highline unincorporated area. Voters within the proposed annexation area will have an opportunity to vote on the annexation, most likely in early 2009.

For more information regarding the proposed annexation, visit www.BurienWA.gov/Annexation or call the Proposed Annexation Info Line, 206-436-5555.

" The Burien city council still will not give the citizens of Burien a chance to vote on on the annexation. It would only be right to do so because we are the ones who will be paying the most taxes for the extra services required for the "new bigger Burien". I call on the council to eiter give the citizens of Burien a vote on the annexation issue and abide by that vote or step down from their positions because they are not serving the will of the people who elected them.
