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.

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?”…

Youth violence is our particular concern.

To owners of large objects
I think Terry O’Day is confused (letters, Aug. 13).
1. Normal people don’t own an RV.
2. Apparently when he purchased the RV, he failed to consider all the costs of ownership of an object so large it didn’t fit on his property.
Imagine — What a performing arts and cultural center in Federal Way would mean to me:
Pride, community pride. The people’s arts and cultural center.
As the fire chief of South King Fire and Rescue, I want to take a few moments to address all of the citizens we serve about an unfortunate series of events surrounding your fire department.
In response to Angie Vogt’s commentary (“Assisted suicide is a dying movement,” Aug. 2):
On July 29, you woke up that morning and decided to prowl cars for some entertainment. I was one of your victims that day and you took a lot from me. The items were mostly material possessions, but my life has been turned upside down.
In the recent issue of the Mirror, Mr. Mark Knapp submitted a letter calling for “the highest legislative priority ought to be to train staff in our schools to carry pistols and be prepared to respond … with deadly force in the event violent attacks occur in the schools.”
