    • City Description

    Burien is a city located in King County, Washington, just south of Seattle. The population was 31,881 in the 2000 census. European settlement in the Burien area dates to 1870, when Mike Kelly walked up a hill from the Seattle, South Seattle area. When he emerged from the trees he said, "This is truly a sunny dale." Still today, the Burien area is called Sunnydale. He claimed a 160-acre (0.6 km) plot of land and built a house and a farm. Ten years later, Gottlieb Von Boorian, a German immigrant, arrived in Sunnydale. At this point, the community was only trails and small houses. There were no roads or non-residential buildings. Von Boorian built a cabin on the southeast corner of Lake Burien and also was said to have formed the community into a town bearing his name. (It has been misspelled over the years.) A real estate office was built and soon more people began pouring in to Burien. In the early 1900s, people of Seattle came by the Mosquito Fleet to Three Tree Point, just west of town to sunbathe and swim. In 1915, the Burien railroad was completed. It ran on what is today Ambaum Boulevard from Burien to White Center to Seattle. A small passenger train ran the tracks and was

    What kind of drug test does the Fred Meyer in Burien/Seattle, Washington do?
    Question:
    I want to apply there for a job and was just wondering if they use a urine test or a saliva test. I was an occasional smoker (pot) and quit two weeks ago so that I can get a job and I realize that the waiting time to pass a test is longer with a urine test than a saliva test. Also, I don't want a lecture about how I shouldn't smoke pot, I just want a helpful answer to my question.

    Answer:
    If you were only an occasional smoker, two weeks should be plenty to clear the cannabis metabolites from your system. The metabolites can persist for up to 30 days, but that is really an outside number. It would be highly unusual for a person who last consumed marijuana two weeks ago to test positive today. You would have had to have used a great deal of pot up until you quit for there to be enough left at this point. So, just be honest with yourself. If you were not a heavy user to begin with and have had no pot at all in the last two weeks, you should be fine. But if you have been exposed (a taste here, some secondary smoke there) since then, you _might_ still test positive. Keep in mind that the job you get at Fred Meyer may affect how you are tested both now and in the future. To take one example, interstate truck drivers are subject to the full range of DOT drug and alcohol testing: pre-employment, post-accident,reasonable suspicion, random, and return-to-duty. I hope this answer is helpful.

    am i able to apply for a job in burien,washington at age 14, if so where?

    Answer:
    Here's a short list of jobs which you can create to generate income: 1. Learn calligraphy so that you can provide handwritten invitations and thank you notes to prospective wedding parties, birthday celebrations, etc. Seek out clients through wedding planners at nearby churches and temples. A starter calligraphy kit usually runs around $20 and anyone can easily pick up this skill. The going rate is usually $1 per hand addressed item. 2. Become a "poser" who assists wedding photographers in setting and arranging various individuals in group and single photographic positions. "Posers" carry around a sketch book of various sitting and standing poses which consists of onion skin overlays of various wedding pictures bound in albums. Again, contact local wedding photographers and wedding planners, accordingly. The hourly pay is around $10-$12 per hour and you are often invited to attend all dining activities. 3. Seek from your neighbors a gardner position which involves planting, weed removal, plant/tree trimming, light brush clearance. You will be using the neighbor's equipment and tools. Again, do not represent yourself as a lawn mower since there are any number of safety issues involved. A door-to-door solicitation of surrounding neighbors is required and you can charge between $6 to $9 per hour. 4. Offer policing/removal or clearance of trash services to surrounding neighbors which involve trash pickup within nearby residential area. Limit the extent of pickup to small areas and be aware that there are no hazardous terrain or elements involved in this process. Again, a door-to-door solicitation of neighbors is in order. You can charge between $6.75 to $7.50 per hour. 5. Acquire a set of window cleaning tools [a bucket, liquid window cleaner, sponge, squeegee, handle with an extension and a small step ladder] and solicit local businesses for your window cleaning services. However, be careful to limit the height of the window cleaning to no higher than one story. Charge $1 per window panel. 6. Become a proxy/stand-in for neighbors to allow delivery of goods and packages to your home/apartment. Acquire the authority to sign any receipt of incoming packages as an accepting neighbor. Charge $1 per each package handled by you. 7. Consider becoming a restaurant-cafe customer liaison by using your cell phone at restaurants-cafes to coordinate with the hostess to keep track of waiting customers. Whenever there's a very long period of time to activate a waiting list, you want to offer the restaurant your services so that customers do not have to stand around for any lengthy period of time. And when their name/assigned number comes up; you can call the upcoming customer's cell phone to tell them that they can return to the restaurant and be served. The call back fee is usually around $0.50 cents on a per head basis. For example, a couple would be charged $1.00 while children under 6 would not be charged. Placement of a plaque which outlines your fee schedule near the hostess station is sufficient to garner attention of prospective customers who will value your services since they can do other activities outside of the restaurant -- often beyond the range of any inhouse paging system. You realize that everyone has a cellphone and why not take advantage of the connectivity to make the diner's experience worthwhile. The restaurant will also appreciate the added service you are providing as a customer liaison. 8. Why not become a paid feeder servicing the disabled at nearby nursing, convalescent, assisted living/care centers and hospitals. It involves feeding food to patients who are unable to feed themselves. The starting rate is $8.00 per hour. The only downside is that one has to take precautions to wash one's hands after each feeding. A posting of your services [by a business card or flyer] on a reviewable bulletin board would be enough to generate customers. The paid feeder position is one of the fastest growing occupation at this time. Good luck!

    how close is burien to redmond in washington?

    Answer:
    It's about 18-20 miles if you go down 405 and loop around the bottom of the lake to Burien. Depending on traffic, you could go south on 405 around Lake Washington or head over one of the floating bridges to I-5 and then head south. It'd probably usually be fastest taking 405 south to the 518 which goes past the airport and right to the central Burien area. It'll kind of depend on when/where you're going.
