None of this will change in this state, let alone this country, until you change your voting system to one of proportional representation, as you have in Europe and New Zealand and other countries.... and hell will freeze over before the vested interests here will give up power to enable ...

It's a disgrace that Nova was kicked out of this wonderful old building, full of history and hopes andintentions of educating future generations. For many Seattle Public School community members, its become apparent that the recent wave of school closures and the subsequent issue of what to do with the ...

Under the Seattle School Board own closure guidelines/criteria, its clear that AS#1 @ Pinehurst must stay open because: 1: Geographic & Proximity. Closing AS#1 would destroy the capacity plan that was just passed because closing AS#1 contributes to, rather than eliminates, the over capacity problem in the N, NE and ...
