Parkplace project.

Talon Private Capital cofounders Jim Neal and Bill Pollard met with Kirkland planning director Eric Shields on March 4.

“My understanding is these two fellows will be the local managers on whatever would happen for a redevel-

opment of the Parkplace site,” said Shields, noting the Parkplace headquarters are out of state.

Justin Chapman, a Prudential representative, was standing by on a conference call.

During the meeting, they discussed what it would

take to downscale the office space and add more residential to the project, Shields said.

The project originally called for eight stories of 1.2 million square feet of technology-office space; 300,000 square feet of retail space; a full-service hotel; 3,500 underground parking spaces; and about 160,000

square feet of public space, when it was under the Touchstone Corporation’s ownership.

The zoning code currently allows 10 percent of the project’s floor area to be for residential use.

Anything more, and the partners would have to request an amendment to the comprehensive plan, zoning

A Victor, Mont. man pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter for the 1996 killing of a Kirkland mother.

On the morning of March 7, Clifford Everell Reed, 60, stood before King County Superior Court Judge Mary I. Yu and entered the Alford plea, a plea that doesn’t admit to the act but admits that the prosecution would likely prove the charge. He originally pleaded not guilty last year.

Reed was charged in December 2012 with second-degree murder for killing 28-year-old Sandi Rae Johnson, a former Kirkland resident, on April 26, 1996.

He was extradited from Montana two months later

The Lake Washington High School boys basketball team finished fifth in state Saturday at the Sun Dome in Yakima. The Kangs lost to Anacortes, 56-48, during the game to finish third, lost to Lynden but defeated Clarkston during the quarterfinals.

“I thought they played extremely well,” said Lake Washington head coach Ryan Staudacher. “It is hard to go back-to-back-to-back.

I couldn’t be more proud of our guys. I am so proud of how hard they played over the weekend, as well as how much they accomplished this year.”

Man leaves Microsoft to follow passion in music, entertainment

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland resident Mike Lucero, 49, found himself talking to a career coach last October after 15 successful years at Microsoft.

“She basically said, ‘You have a choice right now,’” Lucero said. “’You can be at Microsoft for the rest of your life. You were there

for 15 years and you’re past it, or you have another 15-20 years of good career elsewhere but you need to make a decision now.’”

The company was in the midst of a reorganization and Microsoft gave Lucero the opportunity to continue at the tech company or change his career path. He worked on projects that included figuring out the

business models for content applications on Xbox, such as Netflix, Hulu and ESPN. “I knew pretty quickly,” he said. “I had to actually pull myself out of taking another job at Microsoft. I just knew that I didn’t want to do that.”

What Lucero did want was something that was in front of him all along.

The native Californian fi-

nally had time to pursue his longtime passion in music for the few months he was looking for work.

Lucero has played the piano since he was 9 years old. In high school he participated in a jazz band that went to competitions.

“Then I went to college and put things on hold for about 20 years,” he said, adding that he would still

play for pleasure. “Even at that early age, I knew it would be a tough business to be successful in.”

After college, Lucero was faced with an either-or decision, much like the one he experienced with the career coach.

After getting his MBA from the University of California, Berkeley, Lucero had the opportunity to go into

advertising or music.

He had just started a job in advertising when an entry level position with Geffen Records opened.

“I wasn’t sure about the business, where it was going in general,” Lucero said. “But that’s one of the things you always wonder [about].”

But he finally got another [ more LUCERO page 3 ]

Charging documents state Reed left Washington shortly after Johnson was reported missing.

Washington State Department of Transportation workers later discovered her body on Aug. 25, 2004 in Pierce County. Her skeletal remains were identified via dental records and an autopsy revealed her death was a homicide.

www.kirklandreporter.com Reed and Johnson worked at Bowen Scarff Ford in Kent together when the mother of two disappeared.

The day before she went missing, Johnson worked a double shift to take the next day off to prepare for her son’s fifth birthday, which included two parties.

She planned for her then 2-year-old daughter and son to stay with a babysitter overnight. Charging documents state that she left a voicemail with the babysitter the morning of her disappearance, stating

that she would pick them up later in the day so she could do some shopping. Johnson also made plans to have lunch with a friend in Bellevue but never showed up. “[Her friend] drove to Sandi’s house in Kirkland and noted that her car wasn’t there and she didn’t answer the door,” Charging documents state. “He continued to try to contact Sandi throughout the day but he never heard from her again.”

Reed’s friends also said he allegedly had a history of referring to women as “sluts and gold diggers.” According to court documents, a close friend of Reed’s told police that he was likely responsible for Johnson’s disappearance and noted Reed was very bitter toward his ex-wives.

His friend allegedly told police that Reed said he divorced his second ex-wife “so he wouldn’t have to give her any money” and if she ever tried to get money from him, “he would kill her and she would disappear,” the documents continue.

Reed had allegedly loaned Johnson $1,800 for a house payment and often spoke of wanting to find a steady job so that he could support Johnson and her children if they ever ended up in a serious relationship, the documents continue.

Reed denied having any romantic relationship with Johnson to police and suggested Johnson could have committed suicide.

Reed will be sentenced at 1 p.m. on April 11 before Judge Yu at King County Superior Court.

“It might take dedication, commitment, some sacrifice and probably lots of mistakes along the way, but it will round you out and make you a more complete human being.”

He reached out to his friends in the local music scene and started the process of recording the “Friends of Mike Collective.”

Once the album is complete this summer, Lucero plans to contribute toward the Seattle music scene by giving proceeds to Grammy MusiCares, an organization designed to help struggling musicians and artists.

Veterans, police officers and fire fighters looking for homes in Western Washington can now get help via the Homes for Heroes® program.

Kirkland - Agent Bill Fores of RE/MAX On The Lake and Troy Gamble of American Pacific Mortgage in Kirkland have teamed up as Homes for Heroes® affiliates. The two will represent the program in Western Washington.

Homes for Heroes® is a national program that works with real estate agents and mortgage lenders to arrange for discounts for military personnel, police officers and firefighters. Most health-care workers and teachers also qualify for the program.

Originally started in Minnesota in 2001, Homes for Heroes® is now operating in 47 states. The foundation offers to pay a portion of its affiliates’ commissions for home sales for qualifying customers, and has arrangements for discounts on lender’s fees, and closing costs.

“Our true American Heroes are the most underappreciated single group of citizens,” said Fores “These are the same people who put themselves in harm’s way to keep us all safe.”

Fores’ father is a veteran, having served honorably in the Army during the Korean War. With many friends in the military, police, fire, teaching and healthcare industries, he is excited about bringing this tremendous benefit to honor

them.

Gamble is a retired Seattle Firefighter who spent 15 years working side by side with his fellow brothers and sisters. With over 1,000 loans for firefighters in Washington State he’s keenly aware of how their finances work. “I work hard to find the best financing strategy that works best with their overall financial picture because I know that every dollar counts….I love bringing this great program to them” Gamble said. He also finds the same great satisfaction when working with police, military and teacher clients.

For example, taken together the discounts could save nearly $3,500 on a $400,000 home purchase, Fores says. To date the program has saved more than $4.5 million for veterans and public safety workers nationwide.

“These are the people who serve their community.

These are people who put their lives on the line every day,” foundation President Ruth Johnson said in a promotional video. “We’re in the business of real estate, and we want to help them.”

Vote yes on LWSD growth bond We need students in permanent classrooms, not temporary ones, designed for the quality education we demand for our growing population. A yes vote on next month’s Lake Washington School District bond would do just that. It will solve overcrowding at Redmond’s elementary and middle schools as well as Kirkland’s two large high schools. It balances the district with a trending STEM high school on the west side. It gets Juanita High School out of the portables they have had for 30 years, plus gives their majority of classrooms windows.

Being retired and living on a fixed income, I looked at my recent property appraisal and taxes. It was great to see the value of my Kirkland improvements and land go up 17 percent while my real estate tax only went up 11 percent; hence, my current tax distribution rate went down. We can afford the $10 per month on the average sized home and should want to for our future generations and neighboring communities.

The Lake Washington School District Board listened to the 30.74 percent who voted and reduced the bond amount. Be part of the overwhelming 57.79 percent majority that said yes in February to that one and vote yes now on this bond by April 22 to clear the 60 percent hurdle.

Kingsgate name brings back bad memories My wife and I have owned acreage and our home, in what some refer to as the Evergreen/ Kingsgate community, for almost 60 years. A contest was held in the 1950s to name the area in question and the winning name was Juanita Crest.

Signs were put up on the various roads leading to the area. A local relator led an effort to develop the property for what is now “Kingsgate I” and, later, other developments.

We formed a committee comprised of the “old time” residents in an attempt to make sense out of what was happening, recognizing that developing the land was going to happen at some point in time. The developer decided that the name of Juanita Crest was not going to remain.

We worked to force the developer to stop the plan for septic tanks over concern for the pollution to the Juanita Beach area. We knew that the county had long-range plans for sewers. As a result of our action, a temporary “settling pond” was put in near what is now the EvergreenHealth hospital campus in anticipation of the sewer lines. Our efforts were a labor of love, as just a few people took on big business, which had a relationship with the Planning Commission. We fought on.

When we asked the Planning Commission about play areas and schools for the development, the developer responded that there was plenty of open area - our homes and property. At the time, most of us had horses and livestock because of the acreage we owned. This, of course, ended with the wave of progress and we understood that. But having lived here for so long, we wanted to have an area that we could be proud of for generations to come. The result of this was the Planning Commission’s demand for the pool and recreation areas that were put in. The Robert Frost school site was also established.

Needless to say, there are some very emotional feelings on the part of those of us who were treated with the lack of dignity that home owners deserve.

The name Kingsgate, due to the past history, certainly brings back some very bad memories and have no interest in being identified as living in Kingsgate.

I am not interested in being an activist in this arena, but just wanted to furnish some history. We love living in our home and hope we can continue to own it in spite of all the development.

Pave the Cross Kirkland Corridor It doesn’t take much to notice how horrible the north-south commute has become on the Eastside.

Kirkland, like many other Eastside communities, is greatly and negatively impacted. How it got this bad and why so many are so apathetic about it, is a topic for another day. I’m writing to voice my strong support for paving the Cross Kirkland Corridor as soon as possible.

Right now there is no reasonable, safe, efficient way for cyclists to commute in this city. Paving the corridor would provide just such thing and it is sorely needed. Giving cyclists a real path, not crushed gravel, would not just benefit us but those who have to drive would have easier commutes.

There would be fewer cars on the roads. More people will bike if it’s a reasonable option. With cyclists off the roads and on a separate path, things would be far safer and more efficient for all. Cyclists know it’s a pain to sit in your car following us up a hill or on an arterial.

Right now, the plan is to spend a few million to lay down crushed gravel on the path, with no date in sight as to when it would be paved. Paving seems tied to a grandiose vision including light-rail. We know there won’t be rail here for at least a decade or even longer if the progressive forward-thinkers at Kemper Freeman have a say. Crushed gravel is nice but it is not a viable surface for most bikes, and certainly not for strollers, roller blades, etc.

The money spent for gravel would be better put towards paving and our legislators and leaders could recognize the insane commutes we are now dealing with. They must not have to commute or they’d share the outrage. Lobby the state and federal agencies for the rest of the funds needed.

One can dream... as he sits in his car or bus on 405 going nowhere.

Citizens ask city to clarify sidewalk, bike lane closure with Potala Village Please share with readers that citizens will be asking for clarification of comments issued

by John Burkhalter, Kirkland Public Works, in the recently released Feb. 24 “City comment letter on building permit application for Potala Village”:

Dear Mr. Burkhalter, Citizens previously asked about, and were reassured, that there would be no sidewalk closures or rerouting, and no bike lane closures or rerouting allowed during the Potala Village Construction.

Now your comments seem to indicate some closures and rerouting will be allowed. Citizens find the second quotation to be very confusing and are asking for clarification.

In the Feb. 24 city comment letter on building permit application you state, “This project needs a mobilization plan to address the following: Pedestrian routing plans for detours and closures during construction ... Work hours in the right-of-way as it relates to these issues.”

“The sidewalk cannot be blocked to pedestrian access long term, revise clearing limits.

The sidewalk will need to be temporary closed during construction, but should always be opened up at the end of the work day. The only time this will not be true is during sidewalk replacement, in which case we may be routing pedestrians to the parking lane. There will be much more discussion on this.”

The hundreds of citizens involved have repeatedly mentioned their concern about sidewalks, bicycle lanes, pedestrians, cyclists and all forms of non-motorized transportation at this site.

The concerns stem from the fact that this is only the third ground-up development of Lobsang Dargey and site review of his second project revealed massive intrusion into sidewalks, bike lanes and potential vehicular lane closures.

There is fear that the development of the Potala Village site may take several years. Citizens noted that Everett newspapers originally indicated a spring 2012 completion date (on a project in that city by the same developer).

Now the papers note an anticipated spring 2015 completion date.

There are many other things observed by the citizens increasing concern that Potala Village might be particularly slow the construction phase.

There are city rules and policies prohibiting obstructions in right-of-ways. Lake Street South and Lake Washington Boulevard are noted as principal arterials with principal bike and walk routes in the non-motorized transportation plan and the comprehensive plan.

[ Project from page 1]

Parkplace in 2007 for $59 million, with a goal of building a mixed-use project.

But last November, Prudential bought out Touchstone’s interest for an undisclosed amount because executives could not come to agreement on a development plan, Touchstone vice president A-P Hurd said in November. In addition, Prudential’s PRISA II fund is more focused on smaller projects and value-added

acquisition strategies, she said.

Many residents were against the size of the project and may be happy that it could be downscaled, Shields said. But when bargaining began, the trade off was for some public benefit, hence a substantial amount of retail space.

“The retail is now in question,” Shields said.

“I’m not sure if it’ll be as much.”

Neal, Pollard and the Prudential representative didn’t allude to when or

if they’d be making any amendment requests, but Shields said they are mindful that the city is in the midst of reviewing the comprehensive plan update.

Pollard confirmed the Talon, Prudential partnership and said they are just beginning the internal planning and review process, to which everything is on the table for discussion.

Executives with Prudential could not immediately be reached for comment.

“Clara did a great job paging for us,” said Hill. “I am glad she took part in the program and was a great page.”

“My favorite part of the experience was learning how to write a bill,” said Andrews, 14. “I really enjoyed meeting the senators and delivering messages on the floor of the Senate chamber.”

In her spare time, Clara enjoys horseback riding, soccer, track and participating in 4-H. After high school, she hopes to attend college and possibly pursue a career as a veterinarian.

She is the daughter of Bill and Teresa Andrews of Kirkland.

“I really enjoyed my experience here,” said 14-yearold Wilder. “It was fascinating to see how the senators work and learn how to write a bill.”

Friends of Youth luncheon spotlights local success story Reporter Newspapers

W

hen Brandon Atkins first arrived in Seattle last summer, it was supposed to be for a vacation.

But when all of his belongings were stolen from his hostel room his first day in the city, he soon found himself homeless — his only possessions being what he had in his pockets at that time. The 23-year-old from Minnesota did a Google search for “How to be homeless” and came across Friends of Youth — a Kirkland-based nonprofit whose mission is to deliver services to youth and their families to improve emotional stability and selfsufficiency — about halfway down the page.

Atkins ended up at The

Landing, the organization’s emergency shelter for young adults 18-24 in Redmond.

“My only real hope was my spot at The Landing,” he said about this difficult period in his life.

Atkins shared his story at the organization’s Celebration of Youth last Friday, an annual event to raise money for the nonprofit, at The Westin in Bellevue.

Friends of Youth has been operating for 63 years and the organization’s President and CEO Terry Pottmeyer said their goal was to raise $200,000, which would go toward the Friends of Youth’s operations. The amount raised was not available at the Reporter’s deadline.

Atkins said that his aunt and uncle, who he had been staying with in Minnesota — along with two cous-

Kirkland/Yarrow Bay Office 425-822-5100

Brandon Atkins tells his story of how Friends of Youth helped him out of being homeless during its annual luncheon. SAMANTHA PAK, Reporter Newspapers ins — could not afford to send money so he could go home.

“I was stuck,” Atkins told the Reporter in an email. “I had wanted to see Seattle. I guess my wish was granted.”

He said Landing staff helped him by providing meals and a place to shower, receive mail and apply for

jobs. After a few months of staying at the Landing, Atkins now has a small studio apartment near Seattle’s International District and has started his part-time job at Einstein Bros Bagels.

“After a summer of saving, I’ll have enough to pay for a couple college classes and I’ll enroll at (South Seattle Com-

munity College),” he said.

At Friday’s event, Pottmeyer said the organization has “grown a great deal since (its) founding in 1951” and that growth has been motivated and accomplished as the organization has responded to the needs of the community. And that need is great, as Friends of Youth serves more than 4,800 young people and their families per year, Pottmeyer said.

“Each child’s success has been a triumph,” she said.

Friends of Youth board member Jeane Buchanan said Celebration of Youth is their largest fundraising opportunity of the year and raises awareness about youth homelessness. It was through such events that she learned more about the issues. She said having grown up on the

Eastside, she never understood the magnitude before this. Buchanan joined the organization’s board of directors about three and a half years ago and said many people she talks to at fundraising events are just like her and surprised to hear that homelessness is an issue on the Eastside.

“We need to get the word out that it is a community issue,” she said.

Community was a common theme among those who spoke at Friday’s event.

Adrienne Quinn, director of King County’s Department of Community and Human Services, was the afternoon’s keynote speaker and focused on how the outcome of a person’s life depends on caring communities.

“It takes all of us,” she told the audience. “Together, this community is transforming lives, sometimes saving lives.”

But the Kangs lost control of the game during the second quarter, getting outscored 12-6 and losing the lead by halftime.

Kelly Guy led Lake Washington in scoring during the game with 15 points, while Drew Heimdahl finished with 13 and Quentin Moore had 10.

The Kangs lost to Lynden Friday during the state semifinals, 49-37.

Both teams played good defense but Lynden was able to break through during the second quarter and build a 23-18 lead by halftime. They then advanced that lead

throughout the second half.

“Our shots were just not falling,” Ryan Staudacher said. “I have personally never wanted anything more for a group of kids but they had a great year.”

Lake Washington was led by Guy with 14 points, Moore with 10 points and Jeff Stuadacher with nine points.

A big first half for the Lake Washington propelled the squad into the state semifinals on March 6 and clinched the fifth-place finish, as they defeated Clarkston 52-48.

halftime.

The lead was enough to withstand a big comeback by Clarkston during the second half, as the Kangs scored just 14 points during the final 16 minutes of the game.

Clarkston scored 15 during the third and 14 during the fourth quarter, but it was not enough to complete the comeback.

Lake Washington was led by Heimdahl with 17 points, Jeff Staudacher with 14 points and Guy with 12 points.

The Kangs finished the

regular season with a 9-5 record and finished the season with a 16-10 overall record.

But the team also finished the regular season on a four game losing streak.

“We had a team meeting and from that point on all the kids bought in and really stuck together,” Ryan Staudacher said.

Staudacher gives most of the credit to his core group of seniors.

“They put their heart and soul into the season and really made us a family,” said Ryan Staudacher.
