Parks and public spaces levy discussed at Bothell Chamber luncheon BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@bothell-reporter.com
B
othell City Manager Bob Stowe provided attendees of the Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce luncheon with in-
formation on the upcoming parks and public spaces levy, coming to the Nov. 4 ballot. A panel of three Bothell residents, Roger Cecil, Jim Freese and Manny Ocampo, who worked to get the measure on the ballot, also gave their
opinions on why the levy is important and why voters should approve the measure. The levy will fund development of two major city parks, anchoring both the north and south ends of the city with recreational and
public space for community events. The first development is to expand the Park at Bothell Landing by providing opportunities for residents, employees and visitors to relax and enjoy the community’s riverfront including a
new bridge to Sammamish River Trail and gathering plaza for community events. The park will also tie seamlessly into the overall fabric of downtown, allowing park users to easily access downtown amenities such as restaurants,
services and shops. Another major city park will be North Bothell Park. Acquisition of a large property in north Bothell and development of a major new park including a new skate park, off-leash [ more PARKS page 9 ]
Bothell family receives $10 million settlement for crash on Highway 2 BY SARAH KEHOE skehoe@bothell-reporter.com
In the heart of the city
Bothell City Manager Bob Stowe addresses a crowd of residents and dignitaries who attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Bothell City Hall in downtown, while Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed looks on. The event was 10 years in the making for the new City Hall building and even drew Congresswoman Suzan DelBene. The new building will cost an estimated $53 million. For more on the event see the full story on page 15. SARAH KEHOE, Bothell Reporter
The members of the Owen family who survived a tree fall incident in December 2012 will receive $10 million from the state of Washington. Tim and Cheryl Owen of Bothell were killed in the crash and the Owen’s three kids Jaime, Jeremy and Jessica survived the incident, but they still deal with medical issues today. Jessie Owen is paralyzed and Jaime Mayer walks with a cane. Jeremy Owen had only minor injuries. Steven Mayer, the Owen’s son in law, was also in the car. He now uses a forearm arm crutch every single day. Their medical bills have been in the millions. The family was headed
to Leavenworth when the tree hit their truck. The family believes that unusual weather in the area should have closed the road. That day there were freezing temperatures and an unusually heavy amount of snowfall on the trees. The family’s attorney said that just three days prior Chelan County issued a Declaration of Emergency as they were taking extra precautions to ensure public safety. It was at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 21, 2012 when a 125-foot-tall tree fell on the family. “They were driving through a potential war zone and had no idea that a bomb was going to fall,” said Karen Koehler, attorney.

Kenmore business owner of 84 years leaves behind a growing legacy skehoe@bothell-reporter.com
When Bill Munro thinks of his father Gerald “Jerry” Munro, he sees him kneeling near a flower bed with a huge smile on his face. Jerry passed away at 98
years old on July 10 after spending the morning doing what he loved, working at his nursery. Jerry opened Munro’s Nursery in Kenmore around 1927, where he sold plants and flowers. “His main interests were
plants and people,” Bill said. “He was the chief. He had plenty of things for idle hands to do.” Jerry was born in 1916 on Christmas Eve in Bismarck, North Dakota. His family moved to Queen
Anne Hill in Seattle around 1927. Jerry graduated from Queen Anne High where he participated in football, wrestling and ice hockey. He majored in horticultureagronomy with a minor in
landscaping at Washington State College where he met his future wife, Jean Kathryn Jespersen. While there, he affiliated with Delta Upsilon and was a champion wrestler. He graduated from the
University of Washington, where he followed up with graduate-level studies in cytology and cell structure at Washington State University and always considered himself a life-long Cougar. [ more MUNRO page 2 ]

Jerry put the man in a headlock and yanked him two the ground, where the two reportedly wrestled. The thief made off with the then 90-year-old Jerry’s wallet, cell phone and keys. The stollen wallet contained credit and ATM cards, several pieces of identification, around $300 in cash and $2,000 in checks written for prior purchases. Jerry managed to recover $1,380 from the stolen checks. Everett police apprehended the suspects, who were wanted felons, a few months later, according to an article written by the Reporter in August 2007. “My dad said his response to the robbery to fight back was simply a reflex,” Bill said. “But he was a strong guy.” Bill said Jerry was an inspiration to all who met him. His plants and landscapes live on in countless homes around Puget Sound.

Jessica and Steven likely have several more surgeries ahead, Koehler said. All three are adjusting to new lifestyles. Steven is working at Microsoft again. Jaime has returned to law school at Seattle Univer-
sity. Jeremy is beginning his senior year at Eastern Washington University. Jessica, who once organized her own running group, is living with a friend in Seattle and continuing a rigorous physical therapy schedule. Despite doctors telling her at first that she would never walk again, she’s trained herself to walk with forearm crutches for short periods. She still mostly uses a mo-
torized wheelchair decked out in her favorite color, hot pink, and Washington State University Cougar flags. All four said the settlement allows them to move on with their lives so they can dwell on the accident as little as possible from now on. “It’s not better. It’s not worse,” Jessica said. “But it’s nice to have some finality and closure now.”

T
he metamorphosis of downtown Bothell has been nothing short of amazing to watch. The centerpiece of that redevelopment for many residents will be the new McMenamins and, across the street, the new Bothell City Hall. The groundbreaking for the new City Hall was a landmark event and one more than a decade in the making. The new building is not cheap, coming in at an estimated and staggering $53 million. The price tag was a very controversial part of the process and one that is still questioned. But it is an addition that the city had to have. The old City Hall building is beyond outdated, and falling apart. The enormity of redeveloping the entire downtown, while disruptive, has been done with precision. City Manager Bob Stowe, city staff and the Bothell City Council have done a nice job of pushing the projects forward. Have there been controversial aspects? Yes. How could there not be with how many projects the city has taken on during such a short time frame? But remaking an entire city center, all at the same time, is remarkable. One drive down SR-522 through Bothell can feel like reconstruction a war-torn area in another country. Sometimes the thought of “are they going to run out of cement or rebar” passes through my mind. The realignment of 522 was the catalyst for the transformation and the result has been a much more enjoyable ride than expected - literally and
figuratively. Many city governments have a tough time getting roads repaired, redeveloping single pieces of land or just luring new construction and business. But Bothell has done all of that, and then some, all at the same time. And while the transformation of downtown Bothell will be complete within a few short years, it is not done. It is also not fully funded yet. The addition of the parks levy to the November ballot will not only upgrade many of the public places Bothell residents enjoy on a daily basis, it is important to remember that it is the final piece of funding for the downtown projects. It will complete the multi-way boulevard on Northeast Bothell Way and the Park at Bothell Landing. Residents don’t always get taxing measures Matt Phelps

proposed where they will see a tangible result. With this one, residents will be able to touch every project for which their money will pay. And this also goes for residents in Snohomish County. Many times during this and other redevelopment processes in Bothell the north end of the city gets left out. But this measure has parks projects in the north as well as the south. Do I worry about the debt from all of these projects? Everyone worries about debt. But creating a place for more businesses creates tax revenue to pay off that debt. All of these projects will be completed within the next few years and residents will see the final result on a scale I have never seen at one time in any city - for better or worse.

Kenmore roads are already bad without restarting seminary building Mayor Baker of the city of Kenmore in pursuit of a 4 percent tax to benefit the city and is encouraging Bastyr University and Daniel Real Estate to redevelop the failing and obsolete 90,000 square foot seminary building into college classrooms and living quarters. In effect, the park grounds would become a college campus. To anyone familiar with the area, it is common knowledge the roads are overburdened with traffic in the afternoons. North-bound cars regularly back two miles up Juanita Way to the park entrance and beyond. This proposal will add thousands of automobile trips each week. The roads will be further strangled and the quality of life for those using the roads degraded. It would be a grievous error to just restart the school, because it was a school before and give the developers a pass on traffic. This project should not be grandfathered and exempted from strict traffic mitigation. For all practical purposes this is a problem without a good solution.

ick Ramsey purchased Ostroms Drug & Gift from Harry Ostrom in 1964 because he thought it would be a great investment, but it is an entirely different reason that makes him never want to retire. “I love the people,” he said, smiling. “I’ve been blessed to see families grow and kids turn into adults. I feel fortunate to have grown with this community.” Ramsey is proud to have kept Ostroms Drug & Gift in the family. His son Todd Ramsey purchased the store in 1998. “I debated whether or not I wanted to take over for awhile, but then the answer was clear,” Todd said. “I have grown up in this store.

I think our community trusts us.” Ostroms relocated from the Kenmore Village area to Bothell Way in 2009 when the city of Kenmore bought Kenmore Village. “We didn’t foresee a feasible location for Ostroms, so moving to Bothell Way seemed the best decision for us,” Todd said. “Our customers and team members seem to love the new location and I think we made the right choice.” Ostroms added new features to their store when they moved in, including a pharmacy that is just steps from the front door, a drive through pharmacy window and a private counseling room in which to discuss their medicine with the pharmacist. “I’m grateful I can step back and see the fruits of my labor,” Dick said. “It was such hard work when I first bought the place 50 years ago, I barely saw my family for the first few years.

The ads for I-594 are, very obviously and expected, lopsided. I don’t especially mind it as that is part of the democratic process, but it does do a disservice to the voting public who need to know both sides to make an intelligent choice. For instance they don’t point out that if you go to the gun range with a friend and are shooting in a safe controlled environment it would be illegal for you to lend your pistol to your friend to try out. The criminal misuse of pistols is one thing, but that is not rational. Even the Washington Council of Police and Sheriffs (WACOPS) recognize that the gun control measure [I-594] is not only excessive, it poses a burden on local agencies whose budgets are already stretched thin. Overlooked or ignored in the arguments for I-594 are while homicides amount to approximately 11,000 per year, it was found in a national survey conducted by Gary Kleck, a Florida State University criminologist, there are approximately two million defensive gun uses per year by law-abiding citizens. That includes 598,000 lives saved per year due to self-defensive use of guns. Referring to the supposed loophole in gun sales , there is no “gunshow loophole.” Current law states that any

person engaged in the business of selling firearms must register with the federal government, must obtain a federal firearms license, and must submit all prospective gun buyers to an FBI or state agency background check. This requirement applies at gun shows and all other locations, all of the time. Gun shows here in the Puget Sound are run by Washington Arms Collectors only allow sales at their shows to those legally allowed to own firearms. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms reports that 93 percent of guns used in crimes are obtained illegally – either stolen or sold in the black market. So adding more laws to the laws which gun shows and gun dealers already follow, will not keep the bad guys from getting guns. Again…bad guys don’t follow laws. Any rational approach to a problem would attack the worst ones first and work down to the lesser ones. How about more effort to reduce drug abuse which accounts for twice as many deaths as guns, or from alcohol use which kills nine times as many, and how about the 170,000 killed due to doctor errors. Annually 646 people are killed with fists and 496 with hammers and clubs. These are just more indications that the object is not the problem it is the mental attitude and that is where our efforts should be directed.

home built in the 1920’s on was moved from its property on West Riverside Drive, next to Chateau Retirement Communities, to a single family lot just 600 feet north of where it is currently located. “Preserving this house is of paramount importance to us” says Jim Godfrey, founder and CEO of Chateau Retirement Communities. The almost 2,200 foot house has been lifted from its foundation and moved over a temporary road to make room for a 76 unit multifamily building being added to the Chateau at Bothell Landing campus. The house has remained unoccupied since 2005 when Godfrey first acquired it with the land just east of the current senior living campus. “It’s a residential home and the integrity of what the original owners did still shows,” said Joe Carlson, vice president of construction at Chateau Bothell Landing. “These historic homes add a lot to the community and we are glad to have it still located near our facility.” Many residents of the retirement home came to watch as the Sorenson House was placed on it’s new property. “I am so glad it’s being preserved because it is really great to see a part of Bothell’s history,” said Beverly Hawes. “The inside of the home is
just beautiful, there is stunning beamwork, beautiful bookcases and many of the windows are leaded glass with insets of color.” On March 8, 1995, the National Park Service certified the Sorenson House as a national historic site. “We’re excited to move this beautifully crafted home to a lot where a family can enjoy it,” said Michael Schaedig, Chateau’s chief operating officer. The “Sorenson House” was built in 1922 by Mr. James Sorenson on a gift of land from his father-in-law, Alfred Pearson, a logger and contemporary of David

coming out about gluten’s effect on not only the digestive system but its effects on the brain. This work has the basis for the very popular book Grain Brain, by Dr. David Perlmutter. Dr. Perlmutter, a renowned neurologist, points out that gluten has the capacity to cross into the brain, leading to inflammation. This inflammation in the brain may be the cause of several disorders like ADHD, anxiety, migraines and may contribute to dementia. If you suspect that you may have food allergies, gluten-related disorders, or Celiac disease, please consult with your primary health provider for further evaluation and appropriate testing.

There is much hype nowadays about gluten, and people who elect to go gluten-free often “feel better” without having any test to confirm they actually have an allergy to gluten or being tested for Celiac Disease.

Enterovirus D68 suspected in King County Local health officials are working with Seattle Children’s Hospital to investigate a cluster of patients with severe respiratory illness who tested positive for a possible enterovirus infection. Additional testing is being done at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that can determine whether it is the enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) strain that has been seen recently in other U.S. states. At this time there are no confirmed cases of EV-D68 in King County or Washington state. If EV-D68 does appear locally, large numbers of children could develop respiratory infections in a short time period, as the virus spreads similarly to the common cold. With most enterovirus infections, the vast majority of children have a mild illness that does not require medical attention. However, parents of children with asthma should be aware that their children appear to be more susceptible to serious illness. People who do not have severe illness do not need to seek medical evaluation or testing for EV-D68, which is not widely available outside of hospitals.

But while Bothell is a healthy city financially, existing revenues are insufficient to pay for the projects envisioned to make our public parks and spaces the best they can be.” Bothell City Council members say the levy coincides with the city’s Imagine Bothell Comprehensive Plan, which calls for both private and public improvements.

opportunity for voters to have their say on the matter before suitable land for these vital community enhancements is used for other purposes.” The levy requires residents pay an additional tax assessment, which would be around $10 per month for a home valued at $300,000. The cost would be more for the owners of a home with a higher assessed value and less for owners of a home with a lower value. The levy is limited to 25 years and over the course of that time, as assessed valuation increases throughout Bothell, the amount to individual tax payers would be less. The total levy would provide $42 million in expanded and new recreational facilities and public gathering places for the community. “I have kids in sports and I love what sports teaches kids; it teaches them about
hard work and how to handle commitment and discipline,” Freese said. “I’ve seen that there is a huge shortage of park facilities, particularly in the north area of Bothell for children to practice and to play. This levy would help solve that problem.” The panel expressed the benefits of passing the levy as it would fund multiple city projects including the park at Bothell Landing, new north Bothell park

Wilson for a 20-yard score pretty much put an end to any chance of momentum for the Eagles. Bothell began the season with a 41-19 victory at Eastlake High School in Sammmish on Sept. 5. McPherson tied the game at 6-6 with a 35-yard run to the end zone and the extra point put Bothell up by one during the first quarter. A pass from Cougar quarterback Ross Bowers to Wilson resulted in a long 85-yard touchdown strike to extend the lead. A two-point conversion made it 15-6 and Bothell never looked back. McPherson’s best play of the game would put Bothell back up by 12 points, as he scampered 75-yards for a touchdown. The run put the senior over the 100-yard mark just prior to halftime. The second half yielded more long-distance scoring for Bothell, as Bowers once again teamed up with Wilson for a 50-yard touchdown pass to start the third quarter. Bowers wasn’t done, opening the fourth quarter with a 60-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Corson. Bothell will travel to Newport High school tonight for a 7 p.m. kickoff.

Marjorie Harris
Marjorie Harris of Kenmore, WA, a wonderful lady, died peacefully of natural causes on August 10, 2014 at the age of 85. Marj was born on December 5, 1928 in Evanston, Illinois. She was the eldest daughter of Leon and Hazel Savaria. She grew up with her sister Annette and brother Leon. Marj attended Northwestern University in Illinois until she married George N. Harris in 1953. She was the proud mother of 3 sons, Jeff, Brian, and Mark. She will be remembered for her faith in Christ, positive and friendly attitude and her love & sacrifice for those around her. She began her career in the hospitality industry in 1970 and worked for nearly 30 years in both Portland, OR and Seattle, WA. She touched many lives throughout her career working with the Red Lion Hotels, Embarcadero Resort and the Meany Tower Hotel as Director of Sales. Her greatest joy was investing in the lives of her children and their families. She was happiest when together with family and friends for special occasions. She is survived by her three sons; Jeffrey Harris (Anita), Brian Harris (Lorene) and Mark Harris (Donna); her brother Leon Savaria and sister Annette VanSingel; and her six grandchildren Kirk, Amy, Madeline, Kyle, Connor, and Allison. Marj was well loved by those around her and will be deeply missed. A memorial service and celebration of her life will be held at 2pm Friday, September 26th at University Presbyterian Church which is located at 4540 15th Ave NE in Seattle, Washington 98105. 1126630

efficient fleet,” Constantine said. Thanks to a $4.7 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration, Metro recently signed a deal with Proterra Inc. to replace two older buses with 40-foot heavy-duty battery electric buses. With two-thirds of its buses now all or partially powered by electricity, Metro plans to make its entire fleet even greener by 2018. “This testing will allow us to understand where these electric buses can best be used and what their performance will be like within our realworld operating environment,” said Metro General Manager Kevin Desmond. “These answers, combined with ongoing federal sup-
port and growing interest, will be key in moving this technology into the mainstream.” The zero-emission coaches will include fastcharge batteries and allow Metro to test performance and efficiency as part of its normal operations. The electric buses are designed to operate up to 23 miles between charges and get the equivalent of 15 miles per gallon more than a regular diesel coach. The outcome of the testing will help determine whether battery electric bus technology represents a promising replacement option for Metro’s regular 40-foot diesel coaches. The demonstration will also determine how the technology compares with the performance of Metro’s

hybrid fleet. Metro expects to begin testing the battery-powered buses in June 2015. In the meantime, Metro will continue to replace older buses with hybridelectric models, including 35- and 40-foot buses that allow the engine to completely cut off when there is no need for power. The new feature will reduce fuel costs by an additional 5-10 percent each year. By helping reduce the number of cars and trucks on streets – along with its energy-efficient fleet, LEED-certified facilities, and recycling efforts – Metro has reduced the amount of carbon dioxide it produces by 600,000 metric tons each year. Metro has also saved about $4.8 million annually by using fuel-saving hybrid technology. Its electric trolleys save an additional $1 million due to higher energy efficiency and the lower cost of electricity relative to diesel fuel. In addition to operating the largest articulated hybrid fleet in the United States, Metro has the second largest electric trolley system and the largest allelectric vanpool fleet in the
nation. This commitment to environmental sustainability earned Metro goldlevel recognition by the American Public Transportation Association in 2013 for actions taken to protect the environment.
Volunteers needed to help tally cyclists, walkers this fall in Bothell During a three-day survey last year, volunteers counted nearly 66,000 bicyclists and pedestrians across Washington. As another survey cycle approaches, about 400 volunteers will be called upon again this fall to tally the number of people who ride a bike or walk to their destinations. “As an avid cyclist, I have an appreciation for the many volunteers who help with this annual count,” said Washington State Department of Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson. “Knowing where people are and how they are using the transportation system helps us measure the results of bike and sidewalk investments and plan for future projects.” For the seventh annual survey, WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are enlisting volunteers and organizations such as Feet First and Washington Bikes to help count the people they see bicycling and walking along paths, bike lanes, sidewalks and other facilities Sept. 30 through Oct. 2. Counts will be taken at assigned locations in nearly 40 cities throughout the state. WSDOT’s count is part of the National Documentation Project, an annual bicycle and pedestrian count and survey effort sponsored by the Institute of Transportation Engineers Pedestrian and Bicycle Council. The count will also help measure WSDOT’s progress toward its goal of increasing bicycling and walking while reducing the number of vehicle miles driven. WSDOT and the Cascade Bicycle Club are asking volunteers from across the state to perform the counts in participating cities including Bothell. Those interested in helping can learn more by visiting WSDOT’s survey website, emailing the Cascade Bicycle Club or calling (206) 861-9890.

revitalization plan has attracted more than $200 million in private investment and is expected to stimulate an additional $450 million in private investment over the coming years. “I am proud to stand here today and see that despite a downward economy, Bothell not only remains vibrant, but is thriving,” said City Manager Bob Stowe. “We built our first City Hall building during the depression and now we are building our new City Hall in the midst of a recession. This shows the commitment and perseverance of our community.” Congresswoman Suzan DelBene said the new facility is necessary for the city employees to have so they can better serve their citizens. “As we change and grow in this city, we need a facility like this for the city hall employees and to have a great place where the public can meet,” DelBene said. “We’ve already seen how bringing in new businesses and making city improvements have brought more business and residents to Bothell, so I can’t imagine how much growth we will see after the City Hall is built.”
