I’m so angry at you and your residents, Burien.

Someone smashed my partner’s car window today because I accidentally left my phone in the car. They made out with my phone (a smashed up iPhone 8) and a bag of dog accessories even though I was all of five minutes to pick up some peanuts.

Took my dog on a walk after getting replacement supplies and someone’s off-leash pitbull attacked her. She’s got a deep wound that will cost me all my meager savings.

I don’t feel safe here, and fuck you for that, Burien. I’m dangerously broke because of other people’s poor choices, and all in a four-hour window. I’m a preschool teacher, for fuck sake, making minimum wage and trying to save up for a car of my own.

So yeah, fuck you, Burien

Any nurses in this group?

I was offered a position in St. Anne Hospital. I was recruited via agency. Do you think $49.76 per hour is enough for me and my husband? He'll eventualy work as well. But as for the time being, if I work 36-40hrs per week or more, will we survive with that income? Thank you!

Homeless services in Burien dismal

I was trying to help an older woman who was very cold and needed shelter find a place to go.
It only took two phone calls and a quick internet search on a Friday night at 7 pm to understand that there really isn’t much in the way of services for people experiencing homelessness in Burien. This is completely unacceptable and we must do better. If anyone knows how to actually help someone with services I’d welcome the information. Thx

Spooky things are happening here in Burien!

Burien Workers are asking for a fair wage that matches surrounding jurisdictions. What did the council offer? Does it measure up? Truck or Treat?!!

Gym Buddy

Hi everyone! I’m a female (28y) who moved to Burien in April. I used to go to LA fitness in west Seattle but since I moved I barely go to LA in Burien.

I used to have a buddy in WS as well where we just pushed each other to go. I used to go in the morning (6am), if anyone would like to be a gym buddy let me know :)

Is the food served at Azteca Mexican Restaurant good?

I loved this restaurant as a kid, and my favorite location was the Bellevue Washington location. But, I loved the restaurant because of the building design and decor. I always LOVED neon lights and Mesoamerican related things (like the murals of step pyramids or paintings of an Aztec warrior found in the restaurant). Those were my favorite part of the restaurant. I also loved the stucco, and anything jungle related. Anyways, I have been thinking about this beautiful restaurant a lot lately, but I can't remember if the food was any good. No clue what it tasted like, and I don't know if it's changed at all since I left Washington 8 years ago. Since AMR is a chain that started on Burien, I thought I'd ask y'all. Be real with me. Was/is the food any good?

Bag check at the Brat Trot?

I'm running in the brat trot today and just trying to figure out if there will be a bag check, so I know whether to bike or walk up there.

There was no mention on the website, does anyone remember from last year's?

Where to meet young adults?

Hi everyone! I just moved to the area and I’d really like to make some local friends. I don’t enjoy drinking or bars or pubs, so I’m wondering where the next best place would be for me to meet other people in their 20s? I like trying new things, sports (though i’d need some coaching before joining a team), art, etc. I’m also Christian and I’m not sure if there’s a church that’s a good fit nearby too. I’d appreciate any recommendations! I moved recently from Baltimore, and it’s been hard for me to make friends before so I’m really hoping I can make some good memories here!
