Everett man faces charges for robbing Kirkland Key Bank

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ crodriguez@kirklandreporter.com

A

n Everett man faces first-degree robbery charges after he was arrested for allegedly robbing the Key Bank in Kirkland while wearing a wig on Friday.

His bail was set at $1 million in King County Superior Court on Saturday.

Kirkland police re-

sponded to a reported bank robbery in the 14100 block of Juanita Drive N.E. at approximately 5 p.m. on Friday. The suspect, age 40, entered the bank wearing a blond wig and black running suit. He presented the teller a note demanding money and directed the teller to

not place any dye packs or tracking devices in with the money, according to court documents. The man left the bank and fled on foot to the north toward a nearby apartment complex.

A witness advised police that he saw a man wearing a wig running from the bank, get into

a pick-up truck and drive northbound on Juanita Drive N.E. A police officer located the vehicle shortly after and arrested two passengers and the Everett man, who was hiding in the cab of the truck. Police found dark clothing lying in the truck’s floorboards next to a crisp $50 bill, the documents continue.

The man later admitted [ more ROBBERY page 10 ]

Not many children study how computer games are made, with hopes to become a game developer. Not many are named honorees of major organizations like 7-yearold Jacob Schaub was.

But then again, not many children have had to go through nearly two years of battling leukemia as Schaub currently is.

Two weeks ago, Jacob was deemed Honoree of the 7th annual Winter Pineapple Classic 5k fun run by Wilma Comenat of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS).

Jacob’s mother Sofia said she’s excited to be able to hold the pineapple this weekend as others run an obstacle course in an effort to raise $500,000. LLS has raised $2 million over the last six years.

“We currently have just over 2,200 participants but we’d love to see 3,000,” said Comenat.

Last year, Sofia ran in the fun run but Jacob had to sit out. He was still in the midst of fighting his leukemia.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO time and after his parents noticed a change in his energy, they took him to the emergency room of Seattle Children’s Hospital last winter. Doctors took his parents aside, handed them tissues and delivered the hard news: his blood was full of sick white cells and the pain in his stomach was caused by a cancerous mass the size of an orange.

Jacob was admitted to Children’s for two weeks of intensive chemotherapy. And the entire year was made up of hospital visits two-to-three times a week, the occasional infection, a lot of commuting and plenty of homeschooling.

Jacob was diagnosed with leukemia Feb. 3, 2011 - just two weeks after his sixth birthday but

10 days after his kindergarten teacher Rosemary Allan-Humphreys had signed up to do her fourth event with LLS. Her uncle had passed away from leukemia in 2000.

Although it has been exactly one year since Sky Metalwala, then age 2, disappeared, Bellevue police are still active in the investigation.

Police say that while it was hard for family members to cope with the disappearance, new information may still come to

light even after a year or more.

Metalwala was reported missing by his mother on Nov. 6, 2011 in Bellevue after she reportedly ran

out of gas. She left Sky in the vehicle while walking to find gas but when she returned he was missing.

Jacob missed nearly his entire first grade because his immune system was very weak.

What Happens to the Food QFC Can’t Sell Part of QFC’s mission has always been to “sell the highest quality foods at surprisingly affordable prices.” Quality is so important that it’s part of our name, Quality Food Centers. Because quality is so important to us, we put a great deal of emphasis on stocking our stores correctly. We try to order enough product to meet our customers’ demand, but not so much that it remains on our shelves past its prime. But sometimes we order more fresh products than we can sell. When that happens and we find ourselves with food that is perfectly safe and healthful to eat, but which no longer meets our standards for freshness and quality, we have a plan and a partnership in place to provide this nutritious food to hungry people in our communities.

QFC has built partnerships with Food Lifeline and the Oregon Food Bank to donate this perishable food to local food banks. Not a lot of people know this, but products that have gone past our date for quality and freshness still have a couple of

EDITORIAL

... and we will do this again in four years

T

he 2012 general election was a lot of things. It was an exercise in democracy, a peaceful transition of power and as annoying as ever. The cliches alone are enough to make you want to throw something at the TV. We heard a lot of the same lines over and over again. The candidates even threw out many of the same tired old campaign lines.

One cliche that we are used to hearing every four years is “this is the most important election of our lifetime.” How can every election be the most important?

The election was also nasty, mean and full of annoying ads and robocalls. But that is what we say every four years. The fact of the matter is that negative campaigning works.

The race for Attorney General was specifically nasty. The ads for both sides were misleading at best and downright offensive in other cases.

More local races even went negative. One of the worst was the 1st District Senate race between longtime incumbent Rosemary McAuliffe and Dawn McCravey. The negative campaigning in this race was not just from the candidates but also from their supporters.

The Kirkland, Bothell and Kenmore Reporters received more letters on this race than any other and most were pretty nasty. In fact, the Reporter newspapers received more letters on this race than any other topic during the past four months.

Name calling, digging up sketchy links between the candidates and outside groups and other attacks were sometimes worse than the commercials on TV or the mailers.

The Reporter even received some nasty phone calls for an innocuous story on the 1st Congressional District race. The story was initiated when the Suzan DelBene campaign contacted the Reporter to cover a rally in

Bothell with Sen. Patty Murray. Not wanting to profile one singular candidate or espouse their views four days before the election, Reporter staff attempted to contact the John Koster campaign and to find a more balanced approach.

The story was ultimately written on how the race was being viewed by the nation and what heavy hitters had campaigned for the candidates. The Reporter called and left numerous messages for the Koster campaign during a 10-day period with no response.

As most newspapers do, we let the readers know that we attempted to get an interview for the story with no response to the inquiry.

We also attempted to make the story as balanced as possible. For some readers it was not enough, leaving phone messages to let us know that the story was unbalanced because we failed to reach the Koster campaign.

The number of robocalls this year seemed to go up exponentially from four years ago.

But it was inaccurate robocalls in other

states, telling people they had until Wednesday, Nov. 7 to vote, that got many up in arms on election day.

And while it seemed in Washington state that the TV election ads would never end, it was worse elsewhere in the United States.

We in Washington State did not get the barrage that those in swing states received for the Presidential election. In Ohio alone, the Romney and Obama campaigns combined to buy nearly 220,000 TV ads. Florida came in second with nearly 200,000 TV ads.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the overall spending on the Presidential election through Oct. 17 was nearly $2 billion.

And in another four years we will subject ourselves to more robocalls, nasty TV ads, underhanded tactics and “the most important election of our lifetime.”

But when you think of the alternative to democracy, we would all agree this isn’t bad at all - unless your candidate lost.

Perfect solution to bouncy ball litter problem I think I have a great solution to the bouncy ball problem. My kids love the ball machine at Little Ceasar’s. I’d like to suggest a solution: instead of bouncy balls, Little Ceasar’s could switch to gum balls.

They can be ordered in the same size, so the machine will not have to be retro-fitted. They can also be ordered with custom printing, so they can continue to offer their free crazy bread promotion: www.gumball.com/custom-printed-gumballs. aspx (I’d also like to add that I am in no way affiliated with gumball. com. It came up when I did a quick internet search.)

I, for one, would be very supportive of the switch. The bouncy balls turn up all over my house and they are annoying. I’m much more likely to fork over a quarter for a gum ball.

The man’s heart stopped many times at the scene and on the way to EvergreenHealth.

By the following day, hospital staff cleared a 100 percent block of a major artery and the patient was doing fine.

The Kirkland Fire Department is asking all residents to know the symptoms of a

ers with dramatic amounts of cash and thereby dominate our political process. Did you know that: • 93 percent of funds raised by SuperPACs in 2011 came from contributions of more than $10,000 – and from just 23 out of every 10 million people in the US population!

• More than half of SuperPAC money came from just 37 people giving over $500,000 each!

• Spending by outside groups has quadrupled with 72 percent of political advertising spending coming from sources previously prohibited!

• Wealthy donors generally do not want their names, companies or organizations identified because they fear political, economic, member or shareholder reprisals regarding their contributions, thus utilizing the SuperPAC tunnel where no disclosure is required!

Undisclosed and largely out of state donations of significant size are evident in Washington State in the races for governor, senator, house, attorney general – and on the key initiatives and referendums.

This is a national and local Kirkland issue. Our voting power is diminished. Presentations, with more than 350 Kirkland resident petition signatures, have been made to the Kirkland City Council (a group known for good ethics) requesting passage of a municipal resolution stating that (1) “Corporations are not People”, and (2) “Money is not an expression of Free Speech.” The request is under study and a decision is expected within the next two months – a decision surely to test political capital within the council. A decision favoring the resolution would join Kirkland with Bellingham, Seattle, Olympia, Port Townsend, Port Angeles, Auburn, Friday Harbor, Southworth and act in concert with other

MY TURN

U

ndisclosed donors giving enormous amounts to political campaigns under the cover of “free speech” have effectively destroyed the concept of “one person, one vote” in today’s political arena.

More than 80 percent of Americans want limits to the amount of money that individuals, corporations and membership organizations can give to political campaigns, and more than two-thirds want to do away with Super PACs altogether.

Candidates, initiatives and referendums that traditionally enjoyed “grassroots” support from their constituencies are now completely overwhelmed by cash infusions from “big money” entities, such as wealthy individuals, corporations, membership organizations, PACs and Super PACs. By far the biggest abuse has been created by the 501(c)(4) “Social Welfare” entities that are charged, in order to maintain their tax exempt status, with spending the majority of their collected funds on “charitable, educational and recreational” endeavors. Individuals, corporations, membership entities, etc. can avoid the legal “donor’s rules” by contributing unlimited amounts to the 501(c)(4) who in turn can spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns as long as they are not “coordinated” with the campaign process.

Rules governing this process are weak at best and violations of “intent” are obvious. Donors going through this SuperPAC 501(c)(4) “tunnel” do not have to have their names disclosed, so voters have little or no knowledge of who is promoting a candidate, initiative or referendum, or of their agendas.

SuperPACs allow special interests and a small, privileged minority to quiet the voices of the majority of vot-

resolutions being pursued in Tacoma, San Juan County, Clallam County and at the Washington State level itself.

Kirkland and Washington state would join more than 300 similar efforts across the country at both municipal and state levels. A favorable resolution is endorsed by the Washington state Democrats.

So, do we (Kirkland) want our local, state and national politics to be controlled by a very, very small minority of wealthy individuals, corporations, membership organizations and PACs/ SuperPACs (many from out of state), whose only real goal is to influence political campaign outcomes? I think and hope not!

Here are some things you can do to make the citizen’s voice count!

Call and write letters to each of the Kirkland City Council members to encourage them to pass the resolution and speak out as a municipality that corporations are not people and money is not an expression of free speech – and to require full disclosure of donor names and amounts donated.

Write letters to the editor of the Kirkland Reporter encouraging them to endorse the resolution that corporations are not people and money is not an expression of free speech – and to require full disclosure of donor names and amounts donated.

Go to the Kirkland Reporter website at www. kirklandreporter.com and participate in the survey on “Money in Politics,” the results of which will be published in a later issue and delivered to our city council.

Should we let a small minority of undisclosed wealthy entities determine who wins elections? Do we doubt that fact that “winning” candidates in these circumstances owe allegiance to their hidden donors rather than to their constituencies? The answers are simply “no.”

She also commended her challenger, Koster, for running and his strong commitment to public service.

She spoke about how tough her campaign has been in the most evenlydivided district in the Legislature to send him back.

“This is a record-setting election for King County,” said Elections Director Sherril Huff in a press release. “Not only have we set a new record for number of voters registered this year, we will also have more ballots counted for tonight’s results report than in any previous election, including the 2008 presidential election when we still had polling places.”

Two ballot proposals in Kirkland are winning favor from voters, according to early election results.

The first results from the 2012 general election were released by King County Elections at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

“This is absolutely essential,” said Councilman Dave Asher during an election night party at the Woodmark Hotel. “If we don’t win this election, we’ve got to refashion it and come back again to the public, so this requires some investments on the publics’ part.

I’m just really heartened to see that it’s passing.”

He added that Kirkland’s “price of government” is very reasonable and lower

than surrounding cities and “people are willing to step up to do the right thing.”

Proposition 2 – a parks maintenance, renovation and enhancement levy – has 13,303 supporting votes or 56.96 percent so far, while 10,050 or 43.03 percent have voted against the measure, according to early returns.

“I’m really happy about the parks in particular because it was a citizenled initiative, it was their campaign all the way along and to have it be successful is pretty exciting,” said Councilwoman Amy Walen during the Woodmark event.

“I’m just thankful that citizens want to invest back into the city because for years we’ve been dedicated

to parks and open spaces in Kirkland, we’re famous for it and it just reaffirms that again.”

Walen said the city would start working on projects right away, including taking care of O.O. Denny Park and creating an interim trail along the rail corridor.

She also thanked citizens who served on the Parks Funding Exploratory Committee, who helped craft the measures. One of those citizens was Sue Keller, who also served on the Yes! For Great Kirkland Parks campaign. She explained the parks measure is a permanent park maintenance levy to allow citizens to continue to invest Kirkland parks.

The pedestrian and safety levy, Proposition 1, had 12,754 supporting votes or

54.76 percent, while 10,533 have voted against the measure or 45.23 percent.

The proposed street improvement and pedestrian safety levy would provide much needed funding to repair potholes, repave and enhance arterials and neighborhood streets, provide safety walking and biking routes to schools, and improve pedestrian and driver safety on neighborhood streets.

The ballot measure proposes an ongoing property tax levy of 20 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and would annually generate an estimated $3 million.

The estimated annual cost is $71.20 for a home valued at $349,000 (based upon the Kirkland median of assessed value of a single

family home).

The proposed parks levy would restore and enhance funding for maintenance and operations and capital projects. Through the efforts of a citizens advisory group, the restoration and enhancement of parks maintenance and operations and the renovation and improvement of several park projects were identified.

The ballot measure proposes an ongoing property tax levy of 16 cents per $1,000 of assessed value and would annually generate an estimated $2.345 million.

The estimated annual cost is $55.84 for a home valued at $349,000 (based upon the Kirkland median of assessed value of a single family home).

“For me, this campaign has always been about standing up for working families and the middle class,” she said. “Many families throughout our district have been struggling, and yet people need to have access to opportunity – the same opportunities that I had when I was growing up. And they deserve someone who will go to Congress and fight for them.”

DelBene leads 59.0240.85 percent, or 45,676 votes to 31,613. The district covers all of Kirkland, Kenmore and Bothell, running from I-90 up to the Canadian border and was vacated by gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee last spring.

Democrats hold early leads in 45th

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ editor@kirklandreporter.com

First general election results show a large advantage for the Democratic incumbents for both seats in the 45th District race.

Rep. Roger Goodman, D-Kirkland, leads against Republican Joel Hussey for the Position 1 seat with 56.18-43.74 percent, or 22,236 votes to 17,313.

Rep. Larry Springer, D-Kirkland, leads against Republican Jim Thatcher for the Position 2 seat with 57.14-42.78 percent, or 22,535 votes to 16,871.

“I think it’s an indication that the voters actually believe the direction we’re going is the right one and we’re just going to keep it up,” said Springer during an election night event at the Woodmark Hotel. “It’s all about education funding and building an infrastructure and (voters) are going to send (Roger and I) back to the Legislature.”

Results includes tabulation of at least 520,000 ballots.

“People should focus on solving real problems that startups can tackle with technology,” Wilson said.

“People should look at building companies and not just building ‘apps.’”

Wilson added that he’s excited a city the size of Kirkland is able to hold this type of event and that Kirkland has had some great innovation in the past.

Startup patrons will pitch ideas for their business/ product, form groups and begin to organize on Friday with full immersion on Saturday, Nov. 10.

BRIEFS Business recognized for sustainability King County Executive Dow Constantine celebrated the importance and the accomplishments of small businesses throughout the county by presenting the second annual King County Executive’s Small Business Awards at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue recently.

At a high-energy, breakfast-hour ceremony, 230 people from local chambers of commerce, cities, and small business organizations watched as winners were announced.

Kirkland-based Natural and Built Environments was named a finalist for the Green/Sustainable Small Business of the Year. The other finalist in that category was Model Remodel of Seattle and the winner was MicroEnergy Credits of Seattle.

“Every day, small business owners work long hours in a fiercely competitive environment to create value for their customers, provide jobs for their employees, give back to their community, and earn a living for their families,” said Executive Constantine to those in attendance. “That’s why it’s so important to me that we recognize and support the entrepreneurial spirit, the creativity, and the diversity of small businesses throughout our county.”

LA Fitness employees and the Seattle Seahawk Sea Gals celebrate the company’s recent grand opening. CONTRIBUTED Nominations were made by local jurisdictions and business organizations from July through September, and the 130 King County businesses that were nominated were narrowed down to three finalists in each category before today’s awards ceremony. Businesses had to have 50 employees or fewer and have been in business for at least three years to qualify for the seven award categories.

HealthSource Chiropractic in a fight against hunger HealthSource Chiropractic and Progressive Rehab has entered into the fight against hunger in the communities in which it serves. Currently, there are more than 320 offices nationwide recognizing this problem and doing their part, including Kirkland.

HealthSource, a chiropractic franchise, was ranked the fastest-growing franchise in America by Franchise Times for two years in a row.

With their vast and growing numbers, they hope to be able to have a greater impact on bringing awareness to this issue. According to the USDA, hunger remains a pervasive problem in the U.S. with more than 35 million Americans living on the brink of hunger. Other recent statistics show that about 70 percent of people seeking emergency food assistance

residential property in Sarasota, Fla. by lying about the property’s price, their intended use of the property, employment information, income and assets, to name a few, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

Their goal was to obtain the best loan possible for each property and sell the property in a few years.

The scheme came to an end in 2008 when the real estate market collapsed.

At a recent Monday night meeting, proceeds from the Rotary Club of Kirkland Foundation Auction were presented to Chief Eric Olsen to purchase two agent alarm systems that will aid members of the community and the police officers protecting them.

The agent alarm system can be installed in a home where families suffering the abuse of domestic violence are living and provide an added level of security for them. The system allows the police department to respond more quickly when needed, which gives a greater sense of security to those who are being threatened by an abuser.

The system cuts several minutes off the time it takes to notify police of a problem and can be the difference that allows them to arrive in time to stop a situation from escalating.

The Rotary Club of Kirkland Foundation holds an annual auction with the proceeds being determined prior to the event. This year two recipients were determined with the Kirkland Police Department receiving funds to purchase two agent alarm

Kirkland police responded to a car theft at approximately 8:30 p.m.

Oct. 31 on Lake Street.

Dozens of witnesses in Halloween garb looked on as police apprehended two male suspects in their mid-40s.

Witnesses said one of the suspects fled on foot, which caused police to bring in a K-9 unit. “(I) saw one guy getting put in a squad car, and another on the ground in cuffs,” a witness told the Reporter. “Some cars were further down Lake Street, like they were forming a perimeter.”

The suspect was apprehended soon after.

Witnesses say many police officers responded to the crime, which was near the Tully’s and Ben & Jerry’s area.

During the month of November each year, an ever-growing fund-raising effort known as “Movember” is responsible for the sprouting of mustaches on thousands of men’s faces, in the U.S. and around the world. For the second year in a row, Kirkland Firefighters have joined this campaign.

With their Mo’s (short for mustache), these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

Once registered at movember.com, men start Nov. 1 clean shaven. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as “Mo Bros,” groom, trim, and wax their way into the chronicles of fine mustachery.

With the support of the fire department, the community, their friends, family, and the women in their lives (also known as “Mo Sistas”), Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

Kirkland firefighters will effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.

Funds raised here in the U.S. support prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The funds are directed to programs run directly

by Movember and its men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG foundation.

Together, the three channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programs in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship, and research.

Please visit the 2012 Kirkland Firefighter’s Movember Network fund raising page at http://us.movember.com/ team/435317 and consider donating to this worthy cause.

The purpose of the Kirkland firefighter’s joining the Movember campaign is a real one. While they support many other causes and fund raisers throughout the year, this cause strikes close to home.

There are increased risks of cancer associated with the profession of firefighting. Researchers discovered that firefighters are 100 percent more likely to develop testicular cancer.

Group opposing Potala Village project files lawsuit intervention

BY CARRIE RODRIGUEZ crodriguez@kirklandreporter.com

A

group of residents who oppose the controversial proposed Potala Village project have filed a legal motion to allow them to join the ongoing litigation between the developer and the City of Kirkland.

The group’s attorney, Seattle-based Socius Law Group, PLLC, filed an intervenor for declaratory judgement in King County Superior Court on Monday.

The motion seeks to include concerned neighbors of the proposed project in the lawsuit that developer Lobsang Dargey filed against the city in May. That lawsuit sought an injunction against a building moratorium that was imposed on the city’s Business Neigh-

borhood-zoned properties.

The suit also asked for the proposed four-story development to be approved under the zoning codes in effect at the time of application. It further stated that any changes to zoning codes during the building moratorium cannot be legally imposed on the Potala Village project, which would be located at the southeast corner of 10th Avenue South and Lake Street South.

The group - called GMA Advocates Alarmed by Unplanned, Uncoordinated, Incompatible Piecemeal Development (GMA Advocates Alarmed by UUIPD) - says the judgement in that case would affect their rights and the legal motion would allow them to be heard in the case as well.

Karen Levenson, who is a member of the group,

The site for the Potala Village project has sat dormant during the past year as a moratorium has kept the developer from moving forward.

emphasized that the current mediation between concerned neighbors, Dargey and the city is still ongoing.

“We are still actively trying to work at mediation,” said Levenson, adding that the group is hopeful for

a positive result. “But the developer still filed his own lawsuit and we feel there are numerous inaccuracies in what’s being presented.”

Dargey declined to comment.

GMA Advocates

Alarmed by UUIPD alleges that the applications submitted by the developer were incomplete. They say the documents were also undated and missing required signatures from the property owner who lives in Portland.

“There were several places where the developer was required to give accurate and complete information about the Comprehensive Plan land use allowed on the properties and on the adjacent properties and those details were not provided,” said Levenson in an email. “These are but a few of the areas that the neighbors feel were incomplete.

Since these are the specific incompatibilities that are problematic with the Potala Village proposal, their omission is more than a minor problem.”

The legal motion also states that the developer’s submitted project proposal also failed to meet the required zoning. That zoning calls for 75 percent of the project’s ground floor must be retail, restaurants, taverns or offices. However, the proposal outlines that a parking lot would take up the majority of ground floor, according to the legal motion.

City attorney Robin Jenkinson was unavailable for comment.

Nearly 1,000 residents have provided input on Potala Village - a proposed 143 apartment unit project on a 1.2 acre lot with a view of Lake Washington in the Moss Bay neighborhood.

The building will have 6,000 square feet of retail space, plus retail parking.

Car thefts in King County have declined by more than half since the inception of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office implemented what they named the ‘Car Theft Initiative’ (CTI) in 2005.

Just seven years ago, King County ranked sixth in the nation in the rate of auto theft.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) reported that for 2011, the Seattle-King County metropolitan region ranked 12th for the number of stolen cars.

The number of auto thefts nationally is also trending down with a 3.3 percent drop from 2010 to 2011.

The Crime Bureau reports that auto thefts nationally are now at the lowest point in the last 45

years.

The Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority is echoing similar positive trends statewide when it comes to auto theft. It reports that statewide, auto thefts have declined 43 percent from 2005 to 2011.

In the last five years, the average sentence for an auto thief has more than doubled from 27 months to 66 months in prison.

In 2007, the Elizabeth Nowak-Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority Act was enacted by the Washington state Legislature. That program provides grant money for assisting law enforcement in investigating and preventing auto thefts in the state. It is funded by a surcharge on traffic infractions.

attorney and law enforcement launched the new car theft initiative, there were approximately 17,700 reported car thefts in King County. In 2011, that number fell to 8,623. That means that there were 9,000 fewer stolen cars in 2011 than there had been in 2005.

Using the National Insurance Institute’s average claim for loss of $8,600 per stolen vehicle, this decrease reflects a savings of over $80 million to King County insurers over the course of 2011.

The savings to citizens, insurance companies and the overall improvement to public safety have been enormous.

Democratic candidates Murray, Cantwell, Inslee talk women’s health and business Political officials and candidates met with Kirkland residents to gather votes, share their rhetoric and discuss issues on women’s health and small business during a

There were more than 100 people at the event.

Kirkland city officials, Mayor Joan McBride and 45th and 48th District Legislative candidates Rep. Roger Goodman (D-Kirkland), Rep. Larry Springer (D-Kirkland) and Cyrus Habib, a Democrat from Kirkland, joined Cantwell, U.S. Sen.

“Jobs for Washington Tour.”

Kathleen Drew, candidate for Secretary of State and Bob Ferguson, candidate for Attorney General also joined Democrats at the rally.

The job tour started in Yakima and reached cities across the state. The tour is geared around supporting job growth, educational opportunities, veteran job training and will run until Nov. 4.

“We are a team that will not allow Rob McKenna to take us backwards and take away the right of women to get access to health coverage for mammographies, for contraception and other services. We’re going forward in the state of Washington,” said Inslee.

“We’re going forward to protect women’s right of choice. We’re going forward to pass the Reproductive Parity Act.” Krista Warnock, owner of a growing small business, Spa Krista, shared with Kirklanders that her business has continued to grow since its infancy and she praised state senators for their support of Cantwell’s Small Businesses Lending Fund, which has given more than $21 million to small business

Other speakers emphasized the importance of supporting the Affordable Care Act so that all women could have access to health care. Many joked that being a woman is not a “pre-existing condition” and Habib also mentioned his concern that his multiple cancer diagnosis has caused trouble in the past with insurance companies.

While job growth was a big topic for DelBene and Inslee spoke of clean energy, Murray’s striking

example of gender inequality hit home with many Kirklanders.

“I walk into this negotiation, all men except me,” said Murray, after she was called back to a budget meeting. “They wanted to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood.

“They said, ‘Patty if you just agree to this, tomorrow morning government will stay open, everything will be good,’” she continued. “I looked around that room and I said ‘not on my watch.’”

Both Cantwell and Murray urged voters to vote for DelBene so that she could help lead Congress to protect women’s reproductive health rights.
