Sorry, but does this mean that White Center is now a part of Burien?

The annexation won’t become official until early in 2010, most likely in March. During the next several months, Burien city staff will be working on transitional issues, such as planning and zoning in the annexation area and determining the size of staff needed to serve North Highline. The contract with the King County Sheriff’s Office taking in the new City area will need to be renegotiated. Other special districts serving North Highline including sewer, water, fire and schools will not be affected by the annexation.
