Kenmore to receive $12 million for bridge replacement from WSDOTBY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

Kenmore city o� cials have worked hard dur-ing the past few years to make SR 522 a safer place for motorists and pedes-trians, including using its own money to pay for

upgrades to the state route. And while the project was deemed to be one of the most pressing by city o� cials, the � nancing to re-place the nearly 80-year-old west half of the Sammamish River Bridge has been in question.

But the Washington State

Department of Transpor-tation (WSDOT) is now returning the favor in the form of $12 million in fed-eral highway funds for the aging bridge. � e money is part of $70 million being given to various agencies in the state to help � x 32 bridges, according to a WS-

DOT release on Dec. 12.� e release to the media

is the � rst information city o� cials received about the highway funds.

“We had an idea we would get it but this is the � rst o� cial con� rmation,” Kenmore Mayor David Baker said. “It means that

we can now move forward with planning for the new bridge.”

Baker and city of Ken-more Director of Engineer-ing and Environmental Services Kris Overleese said that the city still needs between $6-8 million to complete the project.

“We do need it fully funded before we start con-struction,” the mayor said.

Baker is con� dent the city can � nd the remaining funds for the project. He said that the city was denied a grant by the Transporta-tion Improvement Board

Local artist revitalizes past through McMenamins artworkBY DEANNA ISAACS

[email protected]

As McMenamins at the Anderson School continues construc-

tion, they have also been on the lookout for local artists to grace their walls with scenes from the local area.

McMenamins calls this kind of artwork “Historical Surrealism,” for the research and care that goes into each piece of art - from oral histories to photographs and more. Which is why this kind of labor of love works so well with Bothell artist Michelle Waldele-Dick.

Waldele-Dick’s usual fare encompasses antique toys set up in a way that mimics life and provides a narra-tive to the subject matter. � e toys are not just set up in front of a book, they are communing around it.

“Her artwork is very well thought out and very

personal… Every item in her still life is personally picked and arranged, the lighting,” said Liana Bennett, owner of the Arts Umbrella in Bothell.

Waldele-Dick and Ben-nett met many years ago, when Waldele-Dick was a teacher at a local college.

� ey hit it o� and, for a while, Waldele-Dick was a teacher at the Arts Umbrella - leaving to expand her artwork and classes at her in-home studio.

“What she does is kind of di� cult in that her still life is full of story,” Bennett said. “Just by looking at it, if you

were to walk in a gallery, you very much respond to it.”

Her father, a graphic de-signer, would sketch in his free time and those render-ings helped Waldele-Dick realize that she wanted to be an artist, along with her

7 things you must know before putting your home up for sale.

A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market.

The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and - worse - financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

As this report uncovers, most homesellers make 7

deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get

Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

To hear a brief recorded message about how to order your FREE copy of this report call toll-free 1-800-269-1403 and enter 2901. You can call any time, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

last year but has reapplied. Baker believes the city was denied the funds because the project was scheduled too far into the future.

But for now, the city can begin the long process thanks to the WSDOT.

“We will be able to get the design done, the right-of-way acquisitions, permitting and begin construction,” Overleese said. “The city has about $2 million in money for this project already. We have what we need to get going.”

The east span of the bridge was built in the 1970s and is still in good shape but officials have been monitoring crack-ing and other issues in the west span for about a year. Overleese called the moni-toring “robust.” Baker said that the Washington State Patrol is vigorously enforc-ing the weight restrictions put on the span in order to prolong its life.

“Using that bridge is not

an issue,” Baker said. “It is completely safe.”

Each span carries an estimated 13,000 vehicle trips per day. In a city of just 21,000 residents, that means that the bridges are of regional importance.

Officials said that con-struction of the new bridge is projected to begin in 2017 or 2018 and the city will be able to build the bridge in addition to the current spans, meaning that traffic flow will not be impacted during the construction work.

“We may have to close the bike and pedestrian areas,” Overleese said.

Construction will take approximately two years to complete.

“We have to monitor the fish windows since we have in-water construction work to complete,” Overleese said about the long duration.

Building the new bridge, in addition to the current spans, will mean chang-ing the corridor between

Northeast 170th St. and Northeast 175th St.

“The right-of-way ac-quisition is minor and will not be significant from a land perspective,” Over-leese said.

WSDOT’s bridge replacement advisory committee received and reviewed 73 applications requesting approximately $180 million. The commit-tee evaluated each bridge application based on the bridge’s condition and suf-ficiency rating.

“Approximately half of these bridges are beyond the point of repair and need to be replaced,” said Kathleen Davis, WSDOT Local Programs direc-tor. “And by repairing and preserving the other half, we are adding many years of operation to their lifespans.”

The committee is composed of bridge and engineering professionals representing Washington cities and counties that

provide perspectives from urban and rural communi-ties.

The local bridge pro-gram’s primary objective is to enhance safety for all travelers through replace-ment and rehabilitation of old, deteriorating bridges owned by city and county governments.

The Sammamish River Bridge was one of just two projects to receive the maximum $12 mil-lion. The other is the West Cashmere Bridge in Chelan County. Most of the other projects received between $1-3 million.

Eleven juvenile suspects broke into the Brooks Biddle

car dealership, located on Northeast Bothell Way, and stole more than 100 keys from the lot on Dec. 5.

The suspects triggered an alarm when they broke through a window at the dealership. They then rummaged through the offices in search of car keys. Police were contacted by Sonitrol, Brooks Biddle’s security company, and officers re-sponded without lights or sirens. Doing so enabled them to catch 11 suspects fleeing from the lot, all of them juveniles. The

other two were believed to have run off into the surrounding neighbor-hood. One more suspect was arrested a few days later and police are still seeking the last suspect.

“I was told that the youngest was 12 years old and I was told that two of the suspects were girls, which was kind of a shock to me,” said John Biddle, president of the Brooks Biddle dealership. “I didn’t realize that they were all under the age of 18.”

The incident started at around 1 a.m. on Friday. Responding officers ap-proached the car dealer-ship and set up a cordon of the area. As more of-ficers were heading to the scene, ones already there

were rounding up fleeing suspects.

“You always know that when you get a call at 1:00 in the morning that it’s not a good thing, I talk to most of my friends during regular business hours,” Biddle said.

Some suspects were caught fleeing from the car lot, while others were found hiding under vehicles or in neighbor-ing condominiums and apartments. A Lynnwood K-9 unit was brought out to assist in the search for suspects, some found at the Cedar Crest Condos behind the Brooks Biddle car lot.

In total all 101 sets of car keys were recovered by police the night of the incident.

“With everything that’s been going on in the national media with the criticism of the law enforcement community, I think it’s terrific that police can respond so professionally, so ef-ficiently, and do the job they are relied upon to do in such a professional fashion,” Biddle said.

Police from Edmonds and Seattle were brought in to identify the suspects and see if they were the same juveniles from re-cent car dealership break-ins from those areas. It is believed that they are the same suspects from those incidents.

“The most profound feeling that comes out of it for me, is what a great job the Bothell Police

did,” Biddle said. “Cer-tainly having a break in at your business isn’t some-thing that you sign up for, but having the outcome transpire with the police doing such a brilliant job, and apprehending all the young hooligans, hope-fully sends a message to them that crime doesn’t pay.”

The Edmonds Police Department is look-ing into the incident as it comes a little over a week after a group of teens from Seattle were arrested in stolen cars taken from car lots in

Edmonds and Lake City. During those incidents the Seattle Police Depart-ment and King County Sheriff ’s Office made the arrests outside of Ed-monds.

“We think it is the same group that hit two of our dealerships [in Ed-monds],” said Edmonds Police Department Sgt. Mark Marsh.

Two dealerships, Gaso-line Alley and Car Mas-ters on Highway 99, were broken into in Edmonds.

“Both of those lots are independent lots,” Marsh said.

If asked why they eat, most people would respond because they are hungry. But that seem-ingly obvious reason is the exception rather than the rule, according to a recent study on the psy-chology of food intake and portion control. � e fact is that our eating decisions are motivated by numerous factors, and only a small fraction of those is based on actual hunger.

� e need for nourishment can have multiple causes, many of which we are not even aware of. When we reach for food, we may seek to satisfy emotional as much as physical needs, perhaps even more so.

“Reasons for consumption are many and varied,” said Dr. Katherine Appleton, a professor of psychology at Bournemouth University in Dorset, England and author of the study report.

“Few of us eat just because we are hungry. Most of the time, we eat as a result of how we feel, or what we think, or even where we are and whom we are with. Most of these psychological factors, though, also result in us eating more than we know we should,” she said to Food Navigator.

Her � ndings con� rm what prior studies have also suggested, including those by Dr. Brian Wansink, the author of “Mindless Eating – Why We Eat More � an We � ink” (Bantam Books,

2006).“We eat largely because of what’s around us.

We overeat not because of hunger but because of family and friends, packages and plates, names and numbers, labels and lights, colors and candles, shapes and smells, distractions and distances, cupboards and containers. � e list

is almost as endless as it’s invisible,” he writes.

By nature, we are genetically pro-grammed to eat whenever opportunity presents itself, presumably stemming from times when food was much scarcer than it is today. And although the “feast or famine” scenario is no longer as common as it used to be, our instinct for making the most of oppor-

tune encounters still exists and in� uences our behavior.

Even if we recognize these tendencies and consciously take counteraction, there is always the possibility that our control mechanisms get disrupted and overridden when we are faced with temptation, said Dr. Appleton, a response she describes as “disinhibition.” Based on her research, she found that even very health-conscious individuals proved vulnerable in this regard. � e “what the hell e� ect,” as she calls it, is actually quite common, including among successful dieters once they start deviating from

their regimen.Keeping tabs on one’s eating habits is particu-

larly di� cult when it comes to snacking. More than sit-down meals, snack foods are typically consumed without much attention. A study from the Netherlands found that intensely positive as well as negative experiences led study partici-pants to reach for snack items to help them cope. Enjoying celebratory occasions turned out to be the dominant driver behind unhealthy snacking bouts, followed by opportunity-induced eating, the researchers said. Other motivators were a desire for gaining energy and dealing with stress. On all accounts, women were more inclined to utilize snacks for emotional reasons (both posi-tive and negative) than men.

� e most e� ective way to counteract urges for overeating is raising awareness, the study concluded. Once people become more conscious of their actions and the resulting damage to their health, they are better equipped to recognize the signals and avoid detrimental behavior. In any case, knowing why we do what we do is always an advantage.

The State Fire Marshal’s O� ce would like to remind citizens to be � re safe with their holiday decorations this season, especially

Christmas trees.“It takes only seconds for a tree to ignite and the

entire room to become engulfed in � ames,” said State Fire Marshal Charles Du� y.

� e following are Christmas tree safety tips to protect you and your family this holiday season:

• Select only a fresh tree that is deep green in color with a strong scent and no falling needles.

• Cut at least one inch (1”) o� the bottom of the tree butt using a straight cut.

• Place the tree in a large substantial holder and replenish the water once or twice a day.

• Constant watering is critical.• Keep the tree away from heat sources such as

heaters, � replaces and wood burning stoves.• Place tree so it will not block exits and escape

routes.• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for string-

ing light sets together.• As a general rule UL recommends using

no more than three standard-size sets of lights together.

• Check all electrical wiring and cords for dete-rioration, damage, splices, bare wires, broken or cracked light sockets, and loose connections.

• Discard unsafe equipment immediately.• Do not overload extension cords or electrical

receptacles.• Never run extension or electrical cords under

carpets or doors, through walls or across heavily traveled areas.

• When a� xing lights, electrical cords or electrical decorations, do not use a staple or other method that might damage or penetrate the electri-cal wiring.

• Turn o� holiday lights when leaving the house or before going to sleep.

• Dispose of your tree when it becomes dry.• Never put branches or needles in a � replace or

wood burning stove.

I worked for nine years as a sports reporter/editor and watched many teams win state titles. From swimming to cross country and even girls soccer, it is never easy and commands great dedication, talent and work ethic.

But it takes more for a football team to win a state title like Bothell High School did on Dec. 6. Not every high school in Washington can � eld a lacrosse team, swimming team or even soccer teams. Nearly all have football. � erefore there is more competition. Bothell plays in the 4A class, against the largest high schools in the state, mak-ing the accomplishment even larger.

� e team’s slogan this year was “One Town, One Team, One Dream,” which is one of the most honest things you can say. I watched the Mercer Island High School boys basketball team dominate for years. It seemed at times that it took the entire school and community to fuel

their run. But it might be more impressive in football, as there are many more players who have to buy in to what the coaches are selling. More parents driving kids to practices. More community members coming together to lend support for events.

� ere was no lack of heroes on the � eld this year. But there are many more behind the scenes who helped the Bothell football team achieve greatness and they should not be forgotten.

And of course, the accomplishments of the players cannot be overstated this season and I hope that every player got to soak in those moments a� er the clock ticked to zero against Chiawana. � ey are memories that last a lifetime and can’t be replaced.

� e entire sta� of the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter would like to congratulate the Bothell High School football team on its perfect season and state title. Go Cougars!

The Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce has been celebrating 10 years of community involvement this year. A decade ago, the former “Downtown Bothell Association” launched into the “Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce” and since that day, has grown to nearly three hundred businesses, residents and institutions. The Chamber of Commerce not only supports Bothell businesses, but serves the “Greater Bothell” region and incorporates businesses from around the community such as Kenmore, Woodinville, Mill Creek and Kirkland. This breadth has allowed the Chamber membership to become a strong and supportive contributor to our Northshore community.

The success of the Greater Bothell of Chamber of Commerce has been due in large part to the leadership of the Executive Director, Lori Cadwell. During the Chamber’s Annual Holiday Dinner & Auction on November 21, the Board of Directors recognized Lori for her years of dedication and service to the Chamber. She has developed strong relationships within the community, has been a key driver of the Chamber’s success, and has been dedicated to a decade of service. Lori consistently engages businesses through the Chamber’s multiple events and has developed a strong confidence in the Chamber’s effectiveness. This is just one reason the Chamber offers a “money back guarantee” on their membership. The Board is confident that Lori will deliver on our mission.

The Greater Bothell Chamber would like to thank Lori for ten years of dedication and praise her drive to make the Chamber one of the best in the area.

grandparents’ house, which is full of the toys and tools she uses to create her own unique themes and styles of painting.

“You pull from the stuff from your childhood that made the world exciting or sparked your imagina-tion,” Waldele-Dick said. “And I think people do that in whatever interest they have, whether toys or cars or video games, it’s some-thing about what you choose sparks your imagination.”

While Waldele-Dick’s usual artwork is whimsi-cally painted in oils, the works for McMenamins will be a different theme and in acrylic paints, which dries quicker and is more transparent.

“It’s a nightmare… it is very challenging because they behave completely different,” Waldele-Dick said. “I won’t do both on the same day. If I’m going to do acrylic I have to do acrylic all day, cause I can’t switch my brain that quickly, it’s too different.”

McMenamins is rather specific about what they want, not just in what paints to use, but also in the scenes.

“They’re so different

from my still life… I’ve done quite a few portraits with my oil, but not full figure work [with narra-tive],” Waldele-Dick said. “But I’m having fun with it.”

Waldele-Dicks’ art-work, along with other McMenamin’s artists and McMenamin’s Art Department, too, em-phasizes revitalizing the

old - whether days of yesteryear, build-ings past their prime or the spirit of a city.

“I’ve read a lot about McMenamins

and their connection to the community. I think Bothell needs that kind of magnet for people to show up to,” Waldele-Dick said. “With music and good food, and the space they’ve created is so fun and whimsical and very inviting, and I think bothell will benefit from that tremendously.”

Currently, Waldele-Dick spends around 60 hours a week working on the McMenamins pieces, whereas the rest of her working time she spends teaching art to all ages from her home-studio in Bothell.

For more information about her lessons, visit www.mwaldelestudio.com.

Two Kenmore residents are expanding their horizons with a Christmas tree lot on State Route 522 during the holiday season, but there’s more to this Christmas story than meets the eye.

Jacob Kelly, a student of industrial engineering at the University of Washington, and Garrett Kelly, a student at Inglemoor High School, are learning how to operate a business - and the commu-nity around them.

While the idea for a tree lot came from a cousin of the Kelly’s, the whole family has put their e� orts into the Two Brother’s Tree Lot. From unloading the 250 trees in the rain, creating marketing pamphlets, standing on the side of 522 in a Santa suit, to ensuring that each customer is cared for and leaves happy - the Two Brother’s Tree Lot is all about the holidays.

“One of my favorite as-pects [is] probably getting to know a lot of di� erent people from around this area that I didn’t initially know before

this,” Jacob said. “…It’s kind of broadening my horizons from people around this area, getting to know more people, and its been pretty bene� cial.”

For Jacob, the bene� ts of the tree lot are not just meet-ing new people within the community, it’s also saving for a study abroad program to Prague, in the Czech Republic. Garret, still being in high school, doesn’t have plans yet for the money he earns except that most of it is going into the bank.

Aside from learning about the community and gaining funding to better themselves, the Two Brother’s Tree Lot is also donating 10-percent of their pro� ts to the local Northwest Children’s Fund, an organization committed to child welfare in all aspects of life.

“It feels pretty awesome that I’m giving back to other people, especially in my community, it feels nice,” Garrett said.

Garrett is interested in marketing, so he prepared all the business cards and

pamphlets, and both of the brothers helped � le the business license with the city of Kenmore. Other hurdles are unique to the type of business.

“One of the biggest chal-lenges is making sure that there are two people down here who can li� the trees up,” Garrett said.

Another challenge was unloading the 250 wet, coniferous trees. � ough, ac-cording to Garrett, they just had to “grind through it.” A

fact of business.“Well, it’s just wonderful

its just a great thing to do,” said Dr. Robert R. Kelly, a retired dentist and � rst generation Kenmorian of the family. “� ey wanted to do this on their own and their dad’s helping them. We’ve had a little setback with the weather but it’s a great thing.”

While those who pur-chase from the tree lot can go home with an annual Christmas addition, the boys know that their e� orts will

be helping build a stronger community that cares about each other.

“It feels good. Obviously I’m giving them money, but more than money they are getting help,” Jacob said. “Whether that’s for toys this holiday season, or just sup-port in food or basic needs. I think it’s a pretty unique way, pretty awesome.”

Myrrh is an herb that many people know of as an

incense, largely known of from the biblical story of Jesus’ birth; however, one Bastyr University alumnus is looking to expose the lesser known history of this ancient herb.

Sean Bradley, naturo-pathic doctor and clinic manager at Seattle Asian Medicine and Martial Arts on Lake City Way in Seattle, is a student of the ages and the herbs. As a naturopathic doctor, he uses natural remedies for health issues and has had an interest in the histories of myrrh for a while.

“I did my undergrad in botany and I’ve always wanted to go into plant medicine,” said Bradley, who attended the univer-sity in Kenmore. “While I was [at Bastyr] I got interested in the Chinese medicine program as well.”

� e interest in Chinese Medicine really � t in with

what he was already doing in life, including practicing and teaching Hapkido.

“Once I graduated from Bastyr and started practic-ing, I became frustrated with the quality and quan-tity of herbal medicine texts that were translated,” Bradley said.

Instead of giving up, Bradley went back to the University of Washington to study Chinese language so that he could bridge the gap of information himself.

Bradley is working with others in the study of ancient medicine texts, including Alain Touwaide, who researches medical texts mainly in Greek, Latin, and Arabic.

Bradley and Touwaide chose myrrh to start their research for several reasons. One, it is a highly recognizable plant, both in appearance and in its historical signi� cance. Secondly, it’s easy to iden-tify where it comes from; while it is cultivated in other places it is primarily

from the Arabic peninsula. � irdly, it’s name liter-ally means ‘Bitter,’ which is similar in multiple languages.

� e challenges they face are to � gure out how and when myrrh traveled from the Mediterranean to Asia and what it was used for when it arrived.

A cross-cultural ap-proach is crucial for un-derstanding how medicine developed.

“� e study of the his-tory of medicine is very compartmentalized,” said Touwaide in a press release. “� at’s completely wrong. Chinese, Tibetan, Indian, Arabic and Greek medicine were not isolated. � ey exchanged information and methods and concepts.”

For many, as previously stated, myrrh is known as an incense, not a medi-cine. However, myrrh also has healing properties for minor cuts and bruises as well as for helping women recover from pregnancy (not used during preg-

nancy).One of the interesting

questions arising from their research is, was Mary, mother of Christ, brought myrrh as an incense or form of post-pregnancy relief? � at answer, they may never know, but they can � nd the answer to other questions.

How long has myrrh been used as a medicine and how early was it used as a medicine in Chinese culture?

Many of these questions may seem as though they are important, that could not be farther from the truth. According to Brad-ley, these herbs have been used safely and e� ciently for millennium and could o� er new choices and op-tions for health care.

While the research concerning myrrh is not yet complete, Bradley and his associates are already looking into other herbs to dig up from ancient texts and expand current knowledge concerning uses.

Days after allegedly assaulting his ex-wife, one of Washington’s Most Wanted, Christopher Robin Hood, was taken into police custody in Kenmore during the early hours of Saturday, Nov. 29, by a team of SWAT officers.

The ordeal started on Nov. 21 when Hood broke into his ex-wife’s house,

after repeatedly stalking her, and then assaulting her. Hood beat the victim several times in the face with the butt of a gun but managed to leave before officers arrived.

A warrant for his arrest was issued due to the violent nature of the as-sault and his prior crimes. Hood, who previously changed his name from Christopher Robin Wells to Christopher Robin Hood, was showcased on the TV show Washing-ton’s Most Wanted.

An acquaintance of Hood found out about the warrant through the show and immediately called police to turn him in.

Police immediately

responded and a SWAT team was called in to make the arrest. Hood had been staying with his girlfriend and his girlfriends’ mother at the Coventry Place Condo’s in Kenmore, where the SWAT arrest was made.

According to Chief Cliff Sether of the Ken-more Police Department, the most difficult part of the arrest was rousing the SWAT team and finding a judge to authorize the search warrant.

“Really because of his history and level of vio-lence, I decided to call in SWAT Team,” Sether said. “It was executed without any incident, largely [due to] professionalism of

officers.”Police surrounded the

building that Hood was staying in and SWAT initiated contact with him around 3 a.m., wak-ing many residents of the building Hood hid in.

“We definitely knew it was something more

serious than a traffic stop. I got up and looked out the window and there was a SWAT guy standing outside my window,” said a resident of the build-ing who is unnamed due to safety concerns. “I’ve never seen that before so it was a little weird.”

Those in the building around the unit Hood was in could hear much of what happened that evening. The police assured residents who contacted them that there was nothing to worry about.

“I was never scared whatsoever, it was more like ‘Oh my God I can’t believe this is happening in Kenmore,’” said the

same witness. “I thought [the SWAT team] were amazing… I never felt scared at all. I knew there was SWAT there, so there was a huge police presence. [Hood] is not a resident here, I never felt unsafe.”

Hood surrendered peacefully.

“I’m not frightened, I used to work for the police and I’ve traveled all over the world,” said another resident of the Coventry Place Condos. “The Bothell and Ken-more Police, they’re tops. I’m a lot more secure in this area than elsewhere because of the confidence I have in our police.”

Hood is currently being held on a $1 million bail for multiple Seattle Police Deaprtment warrants.

Cub Scouts � ll sandbags after big storm

Cub Scouts and their parents from Pack 584 of Bothell � lled sandbags at the Bothell Operations Center to replenish the city’s supply of sandbags. With shovels and smiles, the 21 Cub Scouts � lled between 350 and 400 sandbags to provide the city with 10 pallets worth of sandbags – enough to get the city through the rainy season for at least two years.

“� e timing of this service project couldn’t have been better,” said Cubmaster Kevin Devin. “� e city had just utilized the last of their sup-ply of � lled sandbags during the series of storms that blew through the area earlier in the week.”

Cub Scout Pack 584, char-tered by the First Lutheran Church of Bothell, seeks to perform four service projects per program year ranging from clearing invasive plants and planting native trees to collecting food for local food banks to � lling sandbags to cleaning up local schools. � e boys from the pack use these opportunities for earning their Citizenship Belt Loop or their Citizenship Activity Pin.

NFD reduces bond debt from Kenmore headquarters

� e Northshore Fire Department has retired more than $1.9 million in long-term bond debt, saving taxpayers roughly $1.1 million in interest

payments during the next 15 years.

� e debt was incurred in 2009 when the � re depart-ment issued $17 million in voter-approved bonds to fund the purchase of property and construction of its new headquarters

station and training facility in Kenmore.

� e bond debt reduc-tion was made possible by the sale of the � re depart-ment’s former headquar-ters station. � e Board of Fire Commissioners took action to use the proceeds from the sale to retire the last year of what was a 20-year bond.

� e former station served as Northshore’s headquarters from 1977 to 2011 and is now home to Colombia Crest Montes-sori School.

Outpatient knee replacement

Knee replacement surgery is one of the most e� ective operations in orthopedics. More than 600,000 knee-replacement surgeries are performed annually in the United States. � e goal of this procedure is to reduce

pain from arthritis. Knee replacement surgery involves replacing the joint surfaces where the cartilage has been damaged, with metal and plastic components.

Traditionally, knee re-placement surgery is a major surgical procedure that involves a two-to-� ve night hospital stay.

Recent surgical innova-tions, such as minimally invasive techniques and computer navigation, allow surgeons to perform knee replacement through smaller incisions with less tissue damage, which means less pain a� er surgery and a quicker recovery. Pain can also be managed with the help of new anesthetic agents that can be placed within the knee at the time of surgery. � ese advances have drasti-cally reduced the number of days patients stay in the hos-pital, sometimes eliminating the need for a hospital stay altogether.

The Kenmore City Coun-cil voted 5-2 on Dec. 8 to change the height restric-tions in a certain Kenmore business zone to no more than 40 feet in order to preserve views of Lake Washington from the 522 corridor.

The zone in question includes Kenmore Air and the Northlake Marina, but not the Cement plant to the east.

“It’s better than what they were trying to impose upon

us, but it still eliminates the likelihood of some of the proposed projects that we had looked at to allow more access to the lake,” said Jim Davidson, owner of the Northshore Marina.

The first proposal was to cap heights at 35 feet, with a setback for views; however, there were also three other proposals for height restric-tions ranging from 35-50 feet.

Current regulations offer a base height of 35 feet and a maximum height of 75 feet, with setbacks from the property line to preserve

views.“[The decision] will cre-

ate a stagnant condition or availability of wet or dry storage of boats, which will limit new people from having easy access to Lake Washington and the Ken-more area,” Davidson said. “And, it will probably drive up costs for the people that are there.”

However, many of the citizens who spoke at the session urged the council to limit the heights of busi-nesses in order to ensure that their views from houses on the hill and from

walking or driving along 522.

“I would encourage you to support the planning commissions recommen-dation,” said Kenmore resident Jack Pinnell during the meeting.

Others at the meeting showed support for the two businesses in question.

“As a member of this community, I sincerely believe we need to support their business improvement efforts, and others, by com-promising and strengthen-ing reasonable balance re-garding height restrictions

between 61st and Northeast 175th extending to the east and north to Bothell Way,” said Kenmore resident Tom Herman.

The passed proposal will allow for businesses that are not mixed use to build their structures to 40 feet.

“We’re disappointed,” said Todd Banks, president of Kenmore Air. “Its frus-trating that we were singled out, that our property was singled out, and downsized when other people in the area didn’t get the same downsizing.”

The height restrictions

do not apply to any busi-nesses outside the newly created Waterfront Business District.

“Some people in Ken-more say they want to be a business friendly com-munity and it’s extremely unfriendly to business to downsize two of the longest standing businesses in Ken-more when we have very little say about what was happening,” Banks said.

Kenmore Air and Northlake Marina officials have both stated that they don’t plan on appealing the new height restrictions.

Sleepless in Seattle may be a movie from the 1990s, but it is also a part of daily life for many area homeless. As temperatures plummet below freezing, thousands of King County residents are left in the cold with nowhere to sleep.

“Sleepless in Seattle - Se-attle Gives Back” is an Indi-eGogo campaign started by UW Bothell student Eddie Wang, to distribute cold-weather sleeping bags to as many homeless in King County as possible. Dozens of souls hit the pavement for the ‘Big Give’ event on Dec. 13 to provide a warm place to sleep for many homeless on the streets.

“For me, personally, it’s just a great opportunity to see some active change within the mindset of the community,” said Galen Carlson, a Bothell resident volunteering with Sleepless in Seattle. “I know one of the hardest things about getting involved in some-thing like this is the feeling of helplessness that no

matter what you do its not going to make a difference.”

For those on the receiv-ing end of the sleeping bags, the effort was by no means a small act. Thousands of people in King County have nowhere to sleep nor roof over their head, finding refuge on bus stop benches, in parks, or wherever they could find someplace to sleep for a few hours.

“The biggest impact for me was to touch someone’s life personally,” said Bothell resident and volunteer Nidhi Mehta. “If I can give them one night of comfort, so that they can sleep better in the cold harsh weather, I can do this again and again.”

Mehta and Anna Evan-ger, both Bothell residents, volunteered for the Big Give event and spent the entirety of Saturday either in train-ing or actively looking for people to give sleeping bags, clothing and food.

They found out soon enough, though, that it is more easily said than done. After a fruitless search through parts of Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville and

Kirkland, they were re-directed towards Rainier Avenue in Seattle - where they found instant success.

“I love it, cause I’m home-

less,” said Myron Langston, who was helped by the Big Give. “Thank you.”

For people like Langs-ton, the bags aren’t just

a place to sleep, but life. When weather gets too cold outside, many area shelters fill up quickly; having a sleeping bag means that

there will always be a warm place to rest.

“You gave me a sleep-ing bag and I appreciate it, because I’m homeless,” said Allen Jackson. “So thank you very much, as I’m on the street.”

For Evanger, the big-gest impact was working alongside the people on the project, those thoughtful and devoted souls working their hardest to help those in need.

“I [am] thankful we were able to do this; you could see that it was going to im-pact the recipients,” Evanger said.

During the Big Give event from Sleepless in Seattle, 220 volunteers gave out around 2,200 sleeping bags during an estimated six-hour window.

For those who received bags, it is a boon they are not likely to forget. For those who volunteered, its been a way to ensure that the community comes to-gether for those in need.

Preservation of unde-veloped space in the city of Bothell is in doubt after vot-ers rejected a bond measure last month.

The city now is counting on lawmakers in Olympia and Washington, D.C., to allocate money to save the North Creek Forest.

And city officials are back at the drawing board when it comes to paying for a massive makeover of downtown and other projects that were to receive money from Bothell’s failed Proposition 1. It would have provided for $42 million in bonds for improvements to parks and acquisition of public space.

The measure included $1 million to buy land to complete conservation of the North Creek Forest, a large natural area north of

the University of Washing-ton Bothell campus.

Since 2011, the city has acquired two-thirds of an undeveloped, wedge-shaped 64-acre tract of land along I-405. Now Bothell needs about $1.3 million to buy a remaining 22 acres before the land is devel-oped.

Landowners were poised to build on the property before the housing market crashed, said Jim Freese, the volunteer director for Friends of North Creek Forest. The group helps the city find resources to buy land and preserve the woods.

Freese said it is critical that Bothell secure money soon, because a purchase option for two of the three remaining parcels expires next summer. After that, the owner is not obligated to delay logging and devel-opment.

The family that owns the third parcel also is look-ing to sell, Freese said. The retired electrician worries that once the woods are gone, they’re gone for good.

“I’d like to see this forest here for generations to come,” he said.

The woods boast Douglas fir, red cedar, maple and western hemlock trees. At least 110 species of native plants, trees, mosses and lichens have been identi-fied. There are black-tailed deer, coyotes, pileated woodpeckers, band-tailed pigeons and salamanders. The forest is buffered by a salmon stream that provides a spawning spot for chinook, coho, kokanee, sockeye and steelhead.

The city plans to keep the forest as a park, with a few trails altering the landscape. But if Bothell doesn’t buy it soon, there could be two wide swaths of developed

land within the preserved area.

Without the bond money, the city is depend-ing on two grants, totaling $1.5 million, to make the purchase.

The North Creek Forest scored the highest in the state when it was nominat-ed for a $500,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. The federal grant is administered by the state. Congress must approve the funding before any of the projects receive payouts.

The city is also waiting to see if the Legislature provides money for a $1 million local parks grant for the North Creek Forest and other outdoor projects across Washington.

Freese said he hopes the state Supreme Court’s man-date to fully fund public education will not mean fewer dollars in the budget for conservation efforts.

“If they raid parks funds for that money, that’d be disastrous for our work,” he said. “We’re optimistic the Legislature will be able to include reasonable fund-ing.”

While the forest effort has potential grant funding, the city is brainstorming new ways to pay for other projects that were to receive bond money.

“We don’t have a defined plan B yet,” assistant city manager Peter Troedsson said.

One such project is the city’s downtown revitaliza-tion effort. The vision is to make improvements aimed at increasing outdoor recre-ation and boosting traffic to local businesses.

The city wants to increase the amount of park-like spaces in Bothell, but the land available to do so is shrinking, Troedsson said. Toward that goal, the City Council in May designated Multiway Boulevard and Main Street as “parkways.” That way, money from the

bond could be spent on street projects.

Proposition 1 slated mil-lions for improving Main Street and finishing Multi-way Boulevard, a project to turn a 2.5-mile section of the Bothell-Everett High-way into a wide, tree-lined thoroughfare with pedes-trian walks and bikeways.

That drew criticism from opponents. Some called the measure deceptive because much of the money went to streets instead of open space.

With the bond’s failure, it might take longer for the city to pay for some of the projects, Troedsson said. Others, particularly those that required the city to buy land, might be lost oppor-tunities.

The city, he said, contin-ues to look for “innovative” ways to pay for parks and infrastructure.

“All those projects are worthwhile,” Troedsson said. “They remain in our plan for our future.

Sheriff seeks information on luring incident in Bothell

The Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office is seek-

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
