![]() ![]() Independent White Center (PAC) Independent White Center.com is sponsored by the Political Action Committee (PAC) Independent White Center. It is a registered PAC with the State of Washington. This PAC is made up of a group of concerned citizens from Burien, North Highline/White Center/Area Y and Seattle. We believe that annexation of Area Y/ North Highline/White Center to Burien is not in the best interest of the residents of North Highline or the residents of Burien. On October 2, 2012 the The B-Town Blog, in association with sister site The White Center Blog, hosted a Town Hall Forum on the city of Burien’s proposed annexation of North Highline. At the meeting the proponents of Annexation made some statements that need clarification. It apparently can't be said often enough:There is no law that will force the area to join a city. If they do not join Burien, they will not be forced to join Seattle.For more information please see the following Letters to the B-Town Blog. The first one includes the text of an email from Seattle City Council Member Jean Godden stating that Seattle has no plans to Annex the White Center area, and if they ever do, it would not be done without a vote: The annexation issue will appear on the Nov. 6 General Election ballot. You may download our flyers and information sheets:

There will be a detailed fact sheet of our concerns posted at this site soon. Also be sure to mark your calendar and show up to the information sessions put on by the City of Burien. Bring your questions about annexation to these meetings. Ask the hard questions about where the revenues are going to come from and how much annexation will really cost the average citizen.
