Girl Scout Gold Award Winner Alyissa Castle-Lloyd helps others get Running Start
Girl Scout Gold Award earner Alyissa Castle-Lloyd wanted to unite Running Start students with a club that would serve as a space for support as they go through college at an earlier age. So she started the 'Running Start Club' at Highline College, with the goal of creating a space for students to find community, social enrichment, and support future students entering the Running Start program (Running Start is a program for 11 and 12th-grade students to be able to attend community college). "College is a lot different than high school, and there is not much navigating through the process," Alyissa told ...

The Elephant in the Locker Room: Pressuring Goff
By Greg Wright If you've been under the impression that the Seahawks' D is blitzing less frequently this year, you'd be correct. Under Pete Carroll, Seattle's defense has consistently ranked toward the bottom of the league in blitzing the opposing QB. This was as true under Kris Richard as it was under Gus Bradley or Dan Quinn. Typically, the Hawks will only bring additional pressure on about 23% of QB dropbacks. When Kris Richard was let go at the end of last season and Carroll brought back Ken Norton, Jr., Bob Condotta speculated about whether it had to do with Richard taking too ...

Citizen again aids police Police Chief Ken Thomas told of a “tragic event” at 272nd and Pacific Highway South, where ...
ART: See ‘Portraits of Puget,’ by our former Intern Bryan Shickley
Former South King Media Intern Bryan Shickley has been creating 'Portraits of Puget,' some samples of which he is sharing with us. Bryan was a student at Burien's Big Picture High School, and he interned for us for three or so years, starting in 2011 (view his previous blog work here). Since graduating, this talented young man earned a Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis on Fine Art and Animation from Evergreen College. In our humble opinion, Bryan's skills have improved exponentially, very near the level of Disney/Pixar quality (for comparison, check out his first Art we posted on Jan. 3, 2011). Most recently, ...

The Elephant in the Locker Room: Marshall Doesn’t Catch On
By Greg Wright One of the consistent knocks on the Pete Carroll / John Schneider regime is that this duo spends big money on free agents who just don't pan out. The latest "example" of this is future Hall of Fame wide receiver Brandon Marshall, signed in the offseason to a one-year $1.1M contract and released this week after seeing his snap count seriously decline in recent weeks. What I haven't seen Pete Carroll talk about (because he's generally a nice guy) or seen the press talk about is the precise "why" of that decision. Yes, his snap count has decreased, and ...
