This is the way to handle the hooker problem in Federal Way. Hookers don’t hang around unless someone is buying….
French Lake Off-Leash Dog Park is no longer going to the dogs.
In fact, it’s become a horrid mess and isn’t the great place for dogs that it has been in the past.
Last year, access to all 10 of the park’s acres was reduced by half, so that two of the ponds could be filled in. Numerous delays kept dog owners out of that newly “remodeled” area. Having the same number of dogs in half the space for an extended period took its toll on the turf. As soon as the refurbished side was opened, the original side was closed to refurbish the turf in that section.
The Federal Way School District is low on construction money.
And once again the school board has decided to attack the libraries! I found it very interesting that there was no quote from the school librarian at Lakota Middle School in the article about the cafeteria/library proposal (“Parents oppose school’s library/cafeteria combo,” Oct. 22).
Many of you have probably read the articles in The Mirror over the past few years about my wife and my journey through her Alzheimer’s disease.
When reading the Oct. 15 story “Schools tackle cultural divide,” I noticed that it states that 48.3 percent of Federal Way students come from families living in poverty. My definition of poverty must be very different.

Political columnist Angie Vogt’s latest spattering of conservative nattering begs for a response (“Democrats’ lawsuit over GOP tag threatens military vote,” Sept. 27).
I am sick and tired of criminals being pitied in this state and in this country. The article on Tasers that you printed is a perfect example (“Weapon of mass discussion,” Sept. 24).
I am writing this letter to Federal Way assistant planner Matt Herrera and the City of Federal Way, to oppose the zoning of this particular property to build two family homes (zoning project 08-101619-UP).
Open letter to the Federal Way City Council:
I just read in the fall Federal Way City Update newsletter about the city council resolution urging Sound Transit to get light rail at least to Federal Way, if not through it. I totally disagree with this and here’s why.
I’m sorry, but who is Walter Backstrom addressing in his article (“If believing in God is wrong, then I don’t…
I am in my mid-50s and recently purchased a bicycle.
I had not ridden one in over 25 years, but was anxious to help the environment, save gas and get in better shape. I did a considerable amount of research, both concerning purchasing the bike and riding on the streets.
I want to respond to the letter to the editor by Frank Gibbs (“Right-wing drivel about abortion,” Sept. 6). (Note: The letter in question ran online Sept. 5.)
Gibbs supports a woman’s right to choose. He says we don’t have the right to tell our neighbor to plant marigolds rather than petunias, so why do we have the right to tell her how many children she should have? Mr. Gibbs, if you think you are funny, forget it.
Has the Federal Way community run out of newsworthy items to talk about? Has news been so slow you need to sink to new levels?
First, my fourth-grade son announces he just read about a great new form of exercise that looks fun.
It’s between a woman and her doctor … and Walter Backstrom. Guest columnist Walter Backstrom (“Abortion: A matter of choice?”…
