Also, please ask students to park their cars away from the entrances to the Sears building in order to allow their customers to have access. We will have signs and personnel stationed in the Sears lot to watch over this situation.

In addition to the new state disabled parking spaces east of FOSS, we have one space posted as a designated employee disabled space. Employees who are temporarily disabled can contact the Security Dept to request this space and to have their license plate number will be posted with the sign. When the space is not reserved for one employee, it will revert to a first-come, first-served space for employees with state issued disability placards or plates and an employee permit.

The following story was published in yesterday's Seattle Post-Intelligencer. Dustin Smith has torn apart the car's engine and reassembled it.  Now the battery is dead. Once he and a classmate recharge it, they plan to run tests on the car -- checking the speedometer, for instance -- "to make sure we put it back together right," Smith said during class earlier this summer.

Smith, 21, is part of a Shoreline Community College program that trains students to become automotive technicians. Click here for full story.
