r/Burien

Does anyone know what’s going on with Saint Anne’s Medical Center right now? Are they having staffing issues or management issues or something? Because I was supposed to give birth there but they turned me away due to being over capacity, even though they told me as I was receiving care from them throughout my pregnancy, that they have a much better mother to bed ratio than the surrounding hospitals, and now I’m hearing from other people that other labor and delivery staff are quitting in droves.

Anyone got the inside scoop?

Our neighborhood in Burien is facing industrial rezoning that would eliminate residential zoning and permanently transform 264 homes into an industrial corridor. This isn't just about zoning—it's about protecting families, property rights, and the quiet community we've built.

The city calls us an "opportunity zone" because our land isn't making them enough money. But this rezoning would trap homeowners: devalued properties, lenders unwilling to finance homes in industrial zones, impossible to sell without accepting developer lowball offers. Meanwhile, property taxes would likely spike while home values plummet.

I started a petition because this feels like a deliberate erasure of a working community. We've got key dates ahead—Planning Commission hearings start June 10, with a City Council vote on the ordinance coming in October. If you live in Burien or care about neighborhoods being sacrificed for tax revenue, would you consider signing and sharing this? Anyone else dealing with similar rezoning pressure in your area—how did your community respond?

This is a long shot but I figured I’d try anyway. Does anyone know a woman who does alterations on wedding dresses and she runs her business out of her house. If I can remember correctly, she lived near Highline highschool. She altered my wedding dress 14 years ago and did an amazing job. I am a bridesmaid in a wedding coming up and need another dress altered but I can’t find her anywhere.
