Novelty Hill Road project opens up new routes for drivers SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

For a long time, drivers coming from Redmond Ridge and further east on their way to State Route 520 on Avondale Road Northeast would usually choose either Northeast Novelty Hill Road or Northeast Union Hill Road to get to the freeway.

If they got stuck in traffic, they were just that: stuck. There was no alternative route for them to take.

But with the recent opening of a new northsouth connection, drivers can now travel between northeast Novelty Hill and Union Hill roads.

The two thoroughfares are now connected at their 195th/196th avenues northeast intersections (196th Avenue Northeast

Drivers take the new roundabout at Northeast Novelty Hill Road and 195th Avenue Northeast on a recent afternoon. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter at Northeast Union Hill Road turns into 195th Avenue Northeast at Northeast Novelty Hill Road). “(Drivers) can basically use either road,” said Christopher Wierzbicki, deputy director of Road

Services for King County.

A MULTI-FACETED PROJECT

The $17.6 million Northeast Novelty Hill Road project took a little more than two years to complete, he said. Fund-

ing came from a variety of sources including a county bond and the Washington State Department of Ecology. Although the project is located in unincorporated King County outside of Redmond, Wierzbicki said

the City of Redmond also dedicated some money toward it.

The project, which was built by Scarsella Brothers, Inc., was made up of a number of components.

Two-lane roundabouts

were built at the intersections of Northeast Union Hill Road and 196th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Novelty Hill Road and 195th Avenue Northeast. Northeast [ more ROAD page 8 ]

Redmond florist donates roses, makes people smile this week ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

About 720 roses.

Bear Creek Florist owner Lisa Aliment’s eyes opened wide when she thought of all those roses, many of which she was donating to four Redmond and two Kirkland nursing and senior care facilities on Monday.

The Redmond business along with Teleflora were promoting “Make Someone Smile Week” by delivering smiley-face mugs and colorful floral arrangements provided by Doug and Robin Otani

BEST OF REDMOND

of Northwest Wholesale florist in Seattle.

Aliment and her store’s manager Linda MacRae worked from 7 a.m. to noon on Sunday at Northwest Wholesale cranking out bouquets as fast they could, Aliment said, adding that they then made a pair of deliveries to senior facilities in Bellevue and Issaquah.

The Reporter tagged along with Aliment on two of her dropoffs on Monday at Merrill Gardens at Kirkland and Peters Creek Retirement Center in Redmond.

The bouquets featured several varieties of roses in the hues of red, magenta, pink, orange and yellow.

Terri Brimm, move-in coordi-

nator at Merrill Gardens, helped Aliment place the roses on tables in the dining room.

“It’s always special when people will donate flowers to us. This is the first time we’ve ever had a florist do this, however, so it is really great,” Brimm said. “The residents really appreciate having fresh flowers on the table — it makes their day.”

Aliment — whose store was voted Best Florist in the Reporter’s Best of Redmond contest — said that Teleflora previously donated the mugs with a few yellow roses and white daisy palms inside. This year, Northwest Wholesale came through with flying colors with the vast amount of roses. [ more FLOWERS page 15 ]

Renovations to the sports fields at Redmond Ridge Park will break ground this fall thanks to a collaborative effort involving the state of Washington, King County and Redmond North Little League (RNLL).

In June, RNLL’s “Renovate the Ridge” project reached its fundraising goal to replace the park’s dirt and sand fields with all-weather synthetic turf surfaces. In addition to private donations, the project received funding from the county’s Community Partnership and Grants (CPG) program and a Youth Recreation Grant from the state Recreation and Conservation Funding Board.

“These sports field renovations have been anticipated and needed for a long

time,” said King County Council member Kathy Lambert. “It’s good to know that they are on track for next year’s baseball and soccer seasons. The addition of synthetic playing surfaces means these parks can accommodate many more kids’ sports teams.”

She continued, “Excellent work was done by Redmond North Little League under the leadership of JD Klein. It’s a true example of community spirit that benefits everyone. I look forward to seeing great things from Redmond North Little League as everyone continues to work together.”

Located at 22915 N.E. Alder Crest Dr., Redmond Ridge Park is the only park of its kind in the area.

“This is the culmination of nearly 10 years of planning and fundraising,” Klein said. “These allweather fields will cost less to maintain than the existing fields and will support a wide range of recreational activities in the area all year round. Ultimately, the park will be an even greater asset to the Redmond Ridge community.”

Lambert added, “State Sen. Andy Hill had a major role in securing the needed state money for this project.

Without his assistance, it would not have been completed. His dedication to Redmond Ridge Park, to make sure the kids of the Redmond area have enough sports fields, is commendable.”

Washington Brewers Festival at Marymoor Park shatters attendance record

attracted the largest crowds in the festival’s history, and not by just a little bit. More than 20,000 people attended the festival in mid June — a whopping 26 percent increase over 2012.

In addition to the boost King County Parks received from parking

and event facility rental fees, the family friendly festival was also a boon to the local Redmond economy. Many of the 20,000 attendees spent the night in town, gassed up their vehicles and patronized local restaurants and businesses.

retirement contributions.

As expected, the final budget restores the 1.9 percent (for certified and classified staff) and 3 percent (for administrative staff) salary cuts from the 2011-12 school year.

The result is a $2 million revenue increase to the district. No cost-of-living increase was included in the budget. The district’s proposed budget also includes the state required 2.3 percent increase in the employer retirement contribution.

Some of the additional state funding is restricted to specific purposes. LWSD will get additional funding for the English Language Learner program and for the Learning Assistance Program, for example. In the second year of the biennium, 2014-15, the district will receive an estimated $2 million to provide additional instructional hours for grades seven through 12, with an increase in the state requirement from 1,000 hours to 1,080. The district will have a year to plan how school schedules will change to accommodate that increase.

The district will not receive any funding for two significant areas in the state budget — all-day kindergarten and grades K through three class size reduction.

Both funding sources are reserved for high-poverty schools and Lake Washington does not qualify.

The most significant increase in revenue will be in the maintenance, supplies

and operating costs line item. The district will get approximately $4.3 million more in 2013-14 and that increases by an additional $1 million in 2014-15. Special education funding will also increase by an estimated $600,000 in 2013-14.

The state also will improve transportation funding. In 2013-14, the state budget increases transportation funding by 40 percent of what would be needed to fully fund transportation according to the state’s definition, or about $1.2 million additional funding for the district. That increases to providing what the state defines as fully funding transportation in 2014-15, which will mean an additional $2.9 million that year in transportation funding for the district.

A revised budget is currently being prepared to reflect the changes in state funding for 2013-14. The current budget proposal is available to the public on the district website now.

Comments on the proposed budget may be emailed to the district’s board of directors at board@lwsd.org or mailed to Lake Washington School District, PO Box 97039, Redmond, WA 98073-9739.

In addition, the board will hold a public hearing on the budget at its Aug. 5 meeting. Members of the public will have an opportunity to provide input to the board about the budget in that hearing.

At its June 24 meeting, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) board of directors received a draft budget for the 201314 school year. However, the state of Washington, the district’s largest funding source, did not yet have a budget.

That left plenty of question marks in the district’s draft budget. Now that the state budget has been signed into law, the legislative impacts on LWSD and the budget draft have become clearer. An updated budget proposal will be presented to the board of directors at its Aug. 5 meeting that reflects an expected increase in state funding.

“This additional funding is a step toward fully funding basic education,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent.

“After many years of budget cuts or flat budgets, it is a change in the right direction.

Many basic needs remain unfunded or dependent on local levies, however.”

The bottom line impact for the district will be an increase in the budget of an estimated $7.8 million for the 2013-14 school year, some of which is restricted to spending on specific programs. To put that amount in perspective, the revenue total originally budgeted for the 2013-14 general fund was about $242.5 million, which already included two of the new items in the state budget.

Those two items included a restoration of previous staff salary cuts and an increase in costs for employer

OLD FIRE HOUSE TEEN CENTER STAFF

When Redmond’s teenage population voiced a strong desire for a space to showcase their talents, the City of Redmond Parks and Recreation department responded with the opening of the Old Fire House Teen Center (OFH) in 1992.

Over the past 20 years, the OFH has evolved into an all-inclusive, positive space where teenagers can mold, shape and create whatever they want.

Martin Berger, a junior at STEM High School and co-leader of an OFH club, shares a sentiment echoed by many of Redmond’s young people: “You can make anything happen here. The staff are awesome and super supportive in getting teenagers to fully think about their ideas and help to turn them into programs or activities.”

Here at the OFH, we pride ourselves on our programming being a reflection of teen interests.

When a teen regular who works at Redmond’s Root Beer Store expressed an interest in sharing his knowledge of soft drinks with his peers, the OFH hosted an educational tasting in which he shared more than 15 different brands, providing insider information about each one.

A Redmond teenager interested in Universal Role Playing games expressed an interest in starting a club more than a year ago. With staff support, it has grown into a group with more than 20 members that meet each week.

Local teen musicians with an interest in philosophy came to us with the idea to start a “meeting of the minds” type seminar in which they could use math and logic learned at Redmond High School (RHS) to apply to every day dilemmas. Partnering with staff, they became the Problem Solvers, a bi-weekly group that discussed vast topics from the virtues of what it is to be confident to such important questions as “how should I ask a date to the prom?”

While these are just a few examples of the many instances in which a teen’s seed of an idea has blossomed into something special and meaningful, they provide a glimpse into a fundamental

In the 2012 school year, the OFH celebrated large-scale successes in our partnerships with RHS student clubs.

number of high-ranking Montessori, pre-kindergarten, elementary, middle and high schools.

As a toddler, I attended the Sammamish Montessori school in Redmond, developing a strong foundation and learning from strong staff and supportive teachers. There, I not only learned all my continents and perfected my multiplication tables, but when I asked my teachers for a harder challenge, I was always greeted with a “yes” and an “of course.”

Later, I went on to study for five years at Einstein Elementary on Education Hill and had my final year of elementary school at Redmond Elementary. Throughout these years, I colored my world with various activities, ranging from art to yearbook club to choir

to participating in the school science fair. In my sixth and final year of elementary school, with all the wisdom that a sixth-grader could have, I felt prepared and ready to take on the world. Although this was far and still is far from the truth, in a way I am still thankful that all the new experiences, whether it be starting an event for Project RED or writing letters to my own pen pal in Afghanistan, gave me the sense of confidence.

All three years of junior high I attended Redmond Junior High (now Redmond Middle School) and currently attend the STEM High School, also situated in Redmond. Both these schools have only further pushed me to explore what I enjoy and what I have yet to find I enjoy. If you were to speak to

me personally, you would probably hear me go on about the fantastic music programs or the phenomenal student governments, but each individual student has their own reasons for getting involved and making themselves part of the community at their schools.

The reason why I speak of these schools with such a positive outlook and respect is because each and every one of them molded me and my adolescent journey (which still continues) to not only learn more about the world, but apply what I have learned to real-life situations.

I think that it’s this combination of passion and involvement that makes Redmond so special.

• Beloved parks where people enjoy nature and wildlife — such as Marymoor, Tolt MacDonald, Tiger Mountain and the Snoqualmie Valley Trail — depend on levy revenue to remain open and safe.

• Revenue from the sixyear levy will support necessary and modest projects in 39 towns throughout King County, benefiting virtually every resident.

• Of the $56 per year tax impact on a $300,000 property, the portion that is new revenue will be only about $1.38 per month.

• Levy revenue will enable acquiring 450 acres a year for parks, retaining a favorable ratio of open space to populated areas.

• Open space acquisition will protect wildlife habitat, including potential nesting sites for the Marbled Murrelet, an at-risk seabird that nests in old-growth trees.

• Improvement and maintenance of regional trails, such as the BurkeGilman and the Eastside [ more letters page 7 ]

BRIEFS

City seeking input on urban neighborhood planning with survey

The City of Redmond, along with the Growing Transit Communities partnership, is seeking ideas from the public about what makes urban neighborhoods most appealing as places to live, work, learn and play.

New urban neighborhoods with a mix of high-density housing, retail, employment, parks and trails and other uses will emerge around high-capacity transit stations in the coming years in the central Puget Sound region. In Redmond’s Overlake neighborhood, light rail will be operating by 2023.

What characteristics would make urban neighborhoods in downtown and Overlake most vibrant and livable for all ages?

What would an ideal urban neighborhood look like and what features are most important?

The city is asking people to weigh in on an online survey regarding what would make neighborhoods around light rail transit in Redmond most appealing, such as incorporating elements that provide convenient shopping and services, recreation opportunities and housing for families.

www.redmond-reporter.com [ road from page 1]

The survey can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/s/ VibrantNeighborhoods.

The City of Redmond will incorporate ideas gathered from the survey as part of planning and implementation efforts now underway in anticipation of light rail on the Eastside. The survey will be available through September.

Union Hill Road was widened to include a new four-lane section, with turn lanes in areas.

Construction crews also widened 196th Avenue Northeast, adding a turn lane and 8-foot-wide shoulders. They also built the connection at 195th Avenue Northeast to Northeast Novelty Hill Road as a two- and three-lane road with full shoulders for pedestrians and bicyclists.

“That’s a new segment of road,” Wierzbicki said about the latter.

In addition, Evans Creek Bridge was widened and raised to better accommodate pedestrians, equestrians and bicyclists using the Bear and Evans Creek Trail and greenway.

“Everything is finished,” Wierzbicki said. “Construction took 28 months.

It was five months ahead of schedule.”

He added that the only part that is not complete yet is the installation of electronic signage for westbound drivers on northeast Novelty Hill or Union Hill roads, which will inform them of the upcoming traffic situations and suggest whether drivers should continue on the

Students receive National Merit college-sponsored scholarships

Three additional Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students have received National Merit college-sponsored scholarships from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC).

Vita Shubin from Redmond High School will receive a scholarship from the University of Southern California. Rachel Ainslie from Eastlake High School will receive a scholarship from Gonzaga University and Amanda Collyer from International Community School will receive a scholarship from Brigham Young University.

About 1,800 additional winners of National Merit scholarships financed by colleges and universities were announced by NMSC on July 15. These additional winners join about 2,500 other college-sponsored award recipients who were announced in late May.

road they’re traveling on or to take the alternative.

EASING TRAFFIC

Wierzbicki said the main reason for the project was to ease congestion on northeast Novelty Hill and Union Hill roads.

Woodinville resident Jeffrey Bradford uses the roads to get to and from work at Microsoft Corp. in Redmond on a daily basis and said it has definitely helped his commute to work in the mornings. He said utilizing the new connection — he wouldn’t say in which direction because he doesn’t want more people to use it, as well — has shaved 10 minutes off his drive to work. It now takes him about 15 minutes to get to work whereas it used to take close to a half hour. Bradford said taking the alternate route on the way home, however, hasn’t made much of a difference.

Millie Snook, a Redmond resident who served on the Community Advisory Group for the project since 2002, said in a letter to the Reporter, it incorporated best practices for road design and maximizes safety improvements.

“I feel privileged to have played a small role in the project,” she wrote.

SAFETY CONCERNS

Although Bradford likes the new connection and has “nothing against roundabouts,” he said he doesn’t think two lanes are needed — especially as the east-west roads approaching the roundabouts are only one lane in each direction.

“It just seems to add unnecessary merges,” he said.

Brandy Badger, who lives in unincorporated King County on Union Hill just a few blocks from that roundabout, also has some concerns about the newly completed project.

She said she is worried about when winter comes and the roads get icy — particularly the hills leading up to the roundabouts.

“I drive those roads in the winter and that’s just going to be a mess,” predicted Badger, who drives from Union Hill to downtown Redmond for work.

She said she has already seen a few almost accidents as drivers speed down the hill, adding that she would rather there be traffic signals at these intersections instead of roundabouts.

Wierzbicki said they chose to install roundabouts because they are

the safest form of intersection control. He said because vehicles are all traveling in the same direction, the number of “points of conflicts” are reduced. Wierzbicki said with a traffic signal, vehicles are entering the intersection from all directions and traveling in all directions, which increases the potential for accidents.

He added that when roads are icy, traveling at 15 mph — the designated speed limit at the roundabouts — is not much of a challenge and it is actually safer to keep moving than stopping as cars would be forced to do at a traffic signal.

Reporter readers, who commented on a previous report about the project’s completion, also voiced concerns about the designated speed limits for the intersection, saying there needs to be a slowdown speed between going down the hills at 45 mph to 15 mph at the roundabouts.

Wierzbicki said 15-20 mph is the typical speed for roundabouts of this size, pointing out that there is rarely a transition zone on roads approaching a traffic signal. The only warning drivers would get is the yellow light.

The tequila has arrived.

That’s right, 240 bottles of it — and the oak barrel — from Amatitan, Jalisco, Mexico.

On Thursday, Agave Cocina of

Redmond and Issaquah debuted its unique, limited-edition tequila made only for the local restaurants by the Casa Herradura distillery.

According to the Agave blog, Issaquah owner Federico Ramos and his tequila tasters traveled to Mexico in March to select the right barrel of

the liquor for the local restaurants, co-owned by his brother Julian and sister Faviola.

The local tequila team chose one reposado of three poured for them to be recasked especially for Agave. The new tequila reflects Agave’s taste and spirit, the blog notes.

“It has a very, very light caramel aftertaste when you drink it,” Julian,

using traditional methods.

The Ramos family has its origins in Jalisco and has owned restaurants on the Eastside for many years. Agave will be one of the few restaurants in the area to have its own tequila. Each location stocks almost 150 different tequilas and mescals.

“It’s an achievement, for sure,” Julian said about Agave serving its specialty

Meritage Meadows innkeepers create a home away from home SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

Bob Spencer moved around a lot when he was young and growing up as a “service brat,” but he still remembers the move that changed his life.

When he was 10 years old, he and his family moved to Paris. His mother began studying at Le Cordon Bleu and their at-home dining went from Chef Boyardee to gourmet meals. This opened Spencer up to the world of food, and that love of food has stayed with him until now as owner of the Meritage Meadows Inn in Redmond, which he runs with his wife Karen Spencer.

With his experience cooking through high school and college, Bob — who had a previous career as a chemical engineer — is the bed and breakfast’s cook as well as the

landscape and maintenance staff. Karen — who worked for the U.S. Geological Survey before becoming a stay-at-home mom for their two sons — manages the rooms and hospitality.

The couple opened Meritage Meadows in June 2010. They had wanted to purchase property around Woodinville and closer to that city’s winery district, but what they found was not easy or convenient for guests to locate.

The inn is located at 21407 N.E. Union Hill Road, less than 10 miles from the heart of Woodinville’s winery district, but there is also a winery onsite. Bob is one of Cinq Cellars’ five winemakers, along with four of his friends who share his interest in making and tasting wine. The winery offers tastings and Bob said he also likes to talk wine with guests and direct them

toward more wineries and tasting rooms in Woodinville.

Meritage Meadows is a 6,000 squarefoot building that was previously a private home and has five rooms for guests, each of which continues with the wine theme.

“All the rooms are named after the winegrowing areas in Washington,” Bob said.

Meritage Meadows, which won Best Date Place in the Reporter’s Best of Redmond contest this year, gets a variety of guests.

Bob and Karen said they are popular with couples. They get many new parents who are getting away from their babies for the first time. They also get many parentsto-be on “babymoons,” who are having one last weekend together before their new baby arrives. [ more MERITAGE page 15 ]

Karen and Bob Spencer opened Meritage Meadows Inn on Northeast Union Hill Road in June 2010. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter

Despite being a popular destination for couples, the Spencers said Meritage Meadows also gets a number of families and even have a room designed specifically to accommodate families with younger children. The room, Walla Walla, is separated from the rest of the rooms in another area of the inn so other guests won’t be disturbed if a baby starts to cry in the middle of the night. There is also a small kitchenette area and TV to keep youngsters entertained.

Other guests at Meritage Meadows include grown children visiting their parents who have downsized their homes and have limited space.

The Spencers said they also get a lot of parents visiting

their adult children who live in apartments or condominiums or parents from other countries who are visiting their children who are interning for Microsoft.

As innkeepers, the Spencers said they are often asked about places to visit. Bob said he

enjoys being an ambassador for Redmond and the greater Puget Sound area, especially as he and Karen will visit some of these places, as well, to be able to give their personal recommendations.

“We get a great kick out of this,” he said.

She told Brimm, “These are your bouquets, you can put them on your tables and let all the residents enjoy them.

Maybe there’s a few residents, something’s going on in their lives and they just need that extra smile for that week.

Aliment noted that many residents used to have gardens and they appreciate having flowers around them again.

BJ’s in town center offers deep-dish pizza, handcrafted beers and more CFO says Redmond’s community feel and density will allow company to continue build-out in Washington Samantha Pak spak@redmond-reporter.com

It all started in 1978 with two men and a recipe for deep-dish pizza.

The first BJ’s Restaurant opened in Santa Ana, Calif., and with its success, the owners have been able to expand and open more locations throughout the Golden State. In the past few years, they made their way up the coast to the Evergreen State, with its newest location in downtown Redmond.

BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse at 7211 166th Ave. N.E. in Redmond Town Center opened on May 6, and in addition to their signature deep-dish pizza, the restaurant’s menu also includes a variety of salads, appetizers, sandwiches, soups, pastas, entrees, desserts and handcrafted beers.

With a little bit of some-

thing for everyone, the new eatery has already made its mark in the community after less than three months and has been voted Best New Business in the Reporter’s Best of Redmond contest.

Greg Levin, chief financial officer for BJ’s, said they chose to open a location in Redmond because they really like the area.

“It has a great community feel to it with a lot of density and allows us to continue building out the state of Washington,” he said. “In fact, Washington has really embraced the BJ’s concept…(we) are absolutely thrilled to be here.”

Levin said they have four BJ’s locations in Washington — two of which, (including the Redmond location) opened this year.

He said BJ’s is “very passionate about being a local restaurant.” In addition to this role, the company also has a TASC Force (Team Action to Support our Communities), which is made up of volunteers from each restaurant who participate in local community activities such as park cleanups, building houses for Habitat for Humanity and painting schools.

“Additionally our restaurants will do local fundraisers for schools or other nonprofit entities,” Levin said, adding that one of the company’s major charities is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and they have donated a portion of the proceeds from their Pizzookie dessert sales to the organization for many years.

members stop by the butterfly tent, he’s more than happy to put on a show for them. If children are present, he’ll take a butterfly, hold it upside down for 30 seconds, then place the “magic butterfly” upright on their forefinger and tell them to make a wish; when it flies away, their wish will come true.

in our back yard. He grows milk weed in his garden bed for them, and has set up a tent where the butterflies can live in peace.

When I asked Gagner, “why butterflies?” here is what he said: “They are an extension of flowers, they are mobile, intriguing, everyone likes butterflies.”

He’s been interested in butterflies since he was a kid, catching them in jars and releasing once he “felt sorry for them.” He’s interested in all butterflies, but monarchs in particular, because they are becoming scarce or rarely seen in this area. He wants to bring them back.

So, he’s created an environment for them to succeed.

He’s provided a food source (milkweed and pieces of fruit) and a safe habitat (a tent) away from predators. When those two things are available, monarchs can then be reintroduced to the area where they can proliferate.

Gagner noted that when he first moved in to Fairwinds, no one thought of butterflies.

Now, he says everyone in this community is “on him about the butterflies” — and he likes the attention.
