Have we learned anything from British Petroleum’s debacle in the Gulf?
Frankly, I think we’ve learned just how much we don’t know.
And because of that, we should cease drilling in U.S. waters until there’s better science to be had.
Talk to Jamie King for a few minutes and it becomes clear: The guy loves his job.
“I’m kind of the Heinz 57 in the kitchen - I do everything,” said King, a recreational-program assistant for the City of Tukwila, who operates the Duwamish Curves Cafe in the Tukwila Community Center.

Bonsai Northwest was begun 30 years ago as a small venue for sales of pots to local bonsai enthusiasts. The Tukwila-based business has since grown a national and international following, offering finished bonsai trees and plants, as well as the tools, pots, plants and embellishments for those wanting to grow their own bonsai trees.
Tukwila Fire Chief Nicholas Olivas grew up the youngest, in a family that saw him as the only boy.
Maybe that’s why he held some sway with his mom, Esther, who occasionally would haul out the hardware to make her son his favorite dessert: banana cream pie. From scratch.
