Everett’s Riverside Cup
By Heather Kirkland
On November 16th, twelve dart players from Flights rolled into downtown Everett going head-to-head with team Lighthouse, hoping to capture the Riverside Cup.
What a tight and close match that was! Flights eventually won the match, and toted the Riverside Cup back up the road to their place.

Home Plate files in and takes the Players Cup
By Sheila Harris
On Sunday, October 27, two awesome teams came together to battle for the 44-point Players Cup.
Home Plate’s Jim, Willy, Frank, and Manny took on Starlite’s Rich, Craig, Christian, and Denny, who have held firmly onto the Players Cup since last June, weathering many encounters along the way.
Suffice it to say there were so many Hat Tricks, High and Low Tons from both teams, that the board never stopped chirping all day long.

Biker Joe will be sadly missed. Our prayers and thoughts go out to all his friends and family. He was one of a kind, they broke the mold when he came to be. One great man, but he’s with God now. He’s found happiness. Biker Joe blessed us all with his presence, generosity, and his friendship.
Memoriam: Dave Allston
Dave, I’m really going to miss your sly smile and your always cool demeanor ~ Love, Tara Williams
Dave, I’ll never forget the first time we met. I went to The Inn to watch a friend shoot league. Your partner didn’t show. You were shooting B Doubles. I was a 2. You said something about a 2 being better than a dummy score. I didn’t know what you meant.
You let me shoot with you. I did okay, hit some, missed more. You didn’t stop smiling, you encouraged me the whole way. I was inspired to keep trying, you had to be frustrated, but didn’t show it. Our friendship was sealed.

By Ty Hughes
For three decades, Elizabeth Bowers has opened the doors to Wayne’s World in Boulevard Park (Burien), providing a place for her friends to unwind and relax, away from the stresses of life.
After nearly 30 years as a bar owner, Liz has seen it all, and done it all. She and her friends have experienced the highs and the lows that come with life on the big blue marble. But it wasn’t until just a few years ago, when Liz was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Melanoma skin cancer, that she began to realize just how precious every day really is.

In 2011, I attended an incredible international event with the atmosphere of the Olympics. It was so amazing, I swore I’d never miss another. Every two years, dozens of countries assemble to compete in a unique location - last was Ireland, next is Turkey, then Japan, but this year was St. John’s, Newfoundland. In early October, on the easternmost tip of North America, Canada was hosting the 2013 WDF World Cup of Darts.
