Burien is a city in King County, Washington, USA. The population was 31,881 at the 2000 census. In the 2004 US presidential election, Burien cast 63.07% of its vote for Democrat John Kerry [1]. The Burien area was discovered by Mike Kelly in 1870, when they walked up a hill from the South Seattle area. When he emerged from the trees he spoke the words, "This is truly a sunny dale." Still today, the Burien area is called Sunnydale. He claimed a 160 acre plot of land and built a house and a farm. Ten years later, Gottlieb Von Boorian, a German immigrant, arrived in Sunnydale. At this point, the community was only trails and small houses. There were no roads or buildings. Von Boorian built a cabin on the southeast corner of Lake Burien and also was said to have formed the community into a town bearing his name. (It has been misspelled over the years.) A real estate office was built and soon more people began pouring in to Burien. In the early 1900s, people of Seattle came by way of the Mosquito Fleet to Three Tree Point, just west of the new town. Here they sunbathed and swam. Featured Homes in Burien, WA
