In Dec. 2023, The B-Town Blog introduced a new cartoon series that profiles homeless residents regarding their experiences in Burien. 

Each resident has experienced the horrors of homelessness, and has survived harrowing and often deeply disturbing experiences. 

In Burien, the homeless are vulnerable, often harassed, and often targets of violence. 

They wish to be treated with basic human decency, and to find homes as soon as possible, and we are doing our best to share their stories. 

Below is our third round of illustrations, this time focused on a local homeless Veteran – and one-time resident of Sunnydale Village, which closed on Monday, Feb. 5, 2024 – who served as a Combat Medic (click on images to view full cartoon):
