Northshore Summit Park neighbors experiencing water drainage issues BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@bothell-reporter.com

enmore resident Kyle Tate can no longer allow his kids to play or let his dog out in his backyard.

Since the development for Northshore Summit Park began in 2013, Tate’s home and several of his neighbors’ homes are experiencing severe water drainage issues and pooling on their property. Tate says the water

is now pooling around his home’s foundation. “These water issues never existed prior to construction of the park,” Tate said. “I’ve lived here for eight years and never had a problem like this before.”

In February, Tate noticed water in the roadway that seemed to be coming out of the rock wall next to the park. About six to eight weeks later, he noticed around four inches of water in his backyard.

“What they’ve done is totally raise the topography and closed off the stormdrain pipe that used to be connected to my property so now we have water seeping from the ground and filling up our backyards,” he

said. “The problem keeps getting bigger and bigger and my neighbors and I have written letters to the city and not gotten any help.” The park is located at [ more WATER page 5 ]

Bothell, Kenmore marijuana business hopefuls ranked in state lottery BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@bothell-reporter.com

Two marijuana retail stores in Bothell and one store in Kenmore are likely to open, according to lottery results released last week by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Kenmore was not assigned a retail outlet by the liquor control board, so the 10 applicants had to participate in the lottery for the 11 King County “at-large” retail licenses. Around 20 people applied in Bothell. The lottery produced the following applicants in ranked order for Bothell: Recreational Marijuna King; 41. Cannabliss, 1912

201st PL SE ste 202; 52. The following applicants for Kenmore are all competing for the same address, 6323 NE Bothell Way. The hopeful businesses in ranked order are: Green Place; 12. Shade’s Green Emporium; 14. Green Things; 15. Uncle Greens; 26. The Green Trunk; 28. Made Green; 31. Green Quality; 36. Shade’s Greenery; 38. If several lottery-winning applicants are vying for the same address, whoever secures a lease will get the location and the others will have to find a new location within the city.

Bothell naturopathic physician speaks out about suspension, website skehoe@bothell-reporter.com

John Catanzaro, a Bothell naturopathic physician whose license was recently suspended by the state, launched a personal website

this week. The goal of the site is to raise funds not only for his defense, but to repay his patients for the funds they invested in their individual vaccines Catanzaro was forced to destroy following

his suspension. Catanzaro’s Health and Wellness Institute of Integrative Medicine and Cancer Treatment is still open and treating patients, but Catanzaro is not. “I am a doctor and I am

full of compassion and the desire to help others,” Catanzaro said. “My heart is broken over all of this. These are stage 4 cancer patients waiting on treatments we had to throw away and I just want to be able to pay

them back for all they’ve lost.” Catanzaro asked for a settlement opportunity and hearing to contest the Washington Sate Department of Health’s statement of charges against him,

issued Jan. 24. The board suspended his license to practice at his business, Health and Wellness Institute, on Jan. 28. The state contends that the protocol Catan[ more CANCER page 2 ]
