    As a young white boy in Olympia Garfield was legendary for the basketball team and the music department. I know that sounds racist in a way but they were really good. The whole state had like three black people in it

    I'd be looking through the state tourney program and Garfield, Lincoln Tacoma, and Davis would always be there and have the only Black players.

    I'd prefer not to be at war with them. Some great Husky football players have come from there as well.

    Isn't Rainier Beach more black than those other schools? There's white tons of white kids at Garfield. At Rainier Beach I can't recall over 10 white students when I went there.
    Yes and yes.

    The public high schools in Seattle range from single digit white (Rainier Beach, Cleveland, and Franklin) to majority white (Ballard, Roosevelt, W. Seattle, Ingraham, & Nathan Hale).


    Rainier Beach 3%
    Cleveland 7%
    Franklin 8%
    Chief Sealth 23%
    Garfield 40%
    West Seattle 52%
    Nathan Hale 54%
    Ingraham 55%
    Roosevelt 69%
    Ballard 75%

    That is interesting. I would have guesstimated higher white %s for every school above 50% on that list.

    White people hale less babies on average so the numbers aren’t necessarily representative of neighborhood populations as a whole.

    In the 60's the Central Area was still thriving. Yes, Blacks migrated south to the places mentioned in the 70's and 80's

    Our son and daughter went to Rainier Beach.

    Where did the fence go? Apparently, any deal must include money for the wall.

    This reminds me that Jimbo Fisher ≠ Gene Chizik. Jimbo Fisher = Mack Brown.

    I bought in the central district 10 years ago and had one of the nicer houses on the block. Now it's the shittiest and whites are moving in so god damn fast. Gentrification isn't new around here but the transformation is almost complete. I seriously wonder where the black kids at Garfield live.
