Kenmore to receive $12 million for bridge project

BY MATT PHELPS

enmore city officials have worked hard during the past few years to make SR 522 a safer place for motorists and pedestrians, including using its own money to pay for upgrades to the state route. And while the project was deemed to be one of the most pressing by city officials, the financing to replace the nearly 80-year-old west half of the Sammamish River Bridge has been in question.

But the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is now returning the favor in the form of $12 million in federal highway funds for the aging bridge. The money is part of $70 million being given to various agencies in the state

to help fix 32 bridges, according to a WSDOT release on Dec. 12.

The release to the media is the first information city officials received about the highway funds.

“We had an idea we would get it but this is the first official confirmation,” Kenmore Mayor David Baker said. “It means that we can now move forward with planning for the new bridge.”

Baker and city of Kenmore

Director of Engineering and Environmental Services Kris Overleese said that the city still needs between $6-8 million to complete the project.

“We do need it fully funded before we start construction,” the mayor said.

Baker is confident the city can find the remaining funds for the project. He said that the city was denied a grant by the Transportation Improvement Board [ more BRIDGE page 3 ]

Local artist revitalizes past through McMenamins artwork

BY DEANNA ISAACS

disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

As McMenamins at the Anderson School continues construction, they have also been on the lookout for local artists to grace their walls with scenes from the local area.

McMenamins calls this kind of artwork “Historical Surrealism,” for the research and care that goes into each piece of art - from oral histories to photographs and more. Which is why this kind of labor of love works so well with Bothell artist Michelle

Waldele-Dick.

Waldele-Dick’s usual fare encompasses antique toys set up in a way that mimics life and provides a narrative to the subject matter. The toys are not just set up in front of a book, they are communing around it.

“Her artwork is very well thought out and very personal… Every item in her still life is personally picked and arranged, the lighting,” said Liana Bennett, owner of the Arts Umbrella in Bothell.

Waldele-Dick and Bennett met many years ago, when Waldele-Dick was a teacher

at a local college. They hit it off and, for a while, WaldeleDick was a teacher at the Arts Umbrella - leaving to expand her artwork and classes at her in-home studio.

“What she does is kind of difficult in that her still life is full of story,” Bennett said.

“Just by looking at it, if you were to walk in a gallery, you very much respond to it.”

Her father, a graphic designer, would sketch in his free time and those renderings helped Waldele-Dick realize that she wanted to be an artist, along with her [ more ART page 5 ]

Juveniles break into Brooks Biddle, more than 100 keys recovered

last year but has reapplied.

Baker believes the city was denied the funds because the project was scheduled too far into the future.

But for now, the city can begin the long process thanks to the WSDOT. “We will be able to get the design done, the right-of-way acquisitions, permitting and begin construction,” Overleese said. “The city has about $2 million in money for this project already. We have what we need to get going.”

The east span of the bridge was built in the 1970s and is still in good shape but officials have been monitoring cracking and other issues in the west span for about a year.

Overleese called the monitoring “robust.” Baker said that the Washington State Patrol is vigorously enforcing the weight restrictions put on the span in order to prolong its life.

“Using that bridge is not

“With everything that’s been going on in the national media with the criticism of the law enforcement community, I think it’s terrific that police can respond so professionally, so efficiently, and do the job they are relied upon to do in such a professional fashion,” Biddle said.

Police from Edmonds and Seattle were brought in to identify the suspects and see if they were the same juveniles from recent car dealership breakins from those areas. It is believed that they are the same suspects from those incidents.

“The most profound feeling that comes out of it for me, is what a great job the Bothell Police

an issue,” Baker said. “It is completely safe.”

Each span carries an estimated 13,000 vehicle trips per day. In a city of just 21,000 residents, that means that the bridges are of regional importance.

Officials said that construction of the new bridge is projected to begin in 2017 or 2018 and the city will be able to build the bridge in addition to the current spans, meaning that traffic flow will not be impacted during the construction work.

“We may have to close the bike and pedestrian areas,” Overleese said.

Construction will take approximately two years to complete.

“We have to monitor the fish windows since we have in-water construction work to complete,” Overleese said about the long duration.

Building the new bridge, in addition to the current spans, will mean changing the corridor between

Northeast 170th St. and Northeast 175th St. “The right-of-way acquisition is minor and will not be significant from a land perspective,” Overleese said.

WSDOT’s bridge replacement advisory committee received and reviewed 73 applications requesting approximately $180 million. The committee evaluated each bridge application based on the bridge’s condition and sufficiency rating.

“Approximately half of these bridges are beyond the point of repair and need to be replaced,” said Kathleen Davis, WSDOT Local Programs director. “And by repairing and preserving the other half, we are adding many years of operation to their lifespans.”

The committee is composed of bridge and engineering professionals representing Washington cities and counties that

provide perspectives from urban and rural communities.

The local bridge program’s primary objective is to enhance safety for all travelers through replacement and rehabilitation of old, deteriorating bridges owned by city and county governments.

The Sammamish River Bridge was one of just two projects to receive the maximum $12 million. The other is the West Cashmere Bridge in Chelan County. Most of the other projects received between $1-3 million.

did,” Biddle said. “Certainly having a break in at your business isn’t something that you sign up for, but having the outcome transpire with the police doing such a brilliant job, and apprehending all the young hooligans, hopefully sends a message to them that crime doesn’t pay.”

The Edmonds Police Department is looking into the incident as it comes a little over a week after a group of teens from Seattle were arrested in stolen cars taken from car lots in

Edmonds and Lake City.

During those incidents the Seattle Police Department and King County Sheriff ’s Office made the arrests outside of Edmonds.

“We think it is the same group that hit two of our dealerships [in Edmonds],” said Edmonds Police Department Sgt. Mark Marsh.

Two dealerships, Gasoline Alley and Car Masters on Highway 99, were broken into in Edmonds.

“Both of those lots are independent lots,” Marsh said.

“You always know that when you get a call at 1:00 in the morning that it’s not a good thing, I talk to most of my friends during regular business hours,” Biddle said.

Some suspects were caught fleeing from the car lot, while others were found hiding under vehicles or in neighboring condominiums and apartments. A Lynnwood K-9 unit was brought out to assist in the search for suspects, some found at the Cedar Crest Condos behind the Brooks Biddle car lot.

In total all 101 sets of car keys were recovered by police the night of the incident.

leven juvenile suspects broke into the Brooks Biddle car dealership, located on Northeast Bothell Way, and stole more than 100 keys from the lot on Dec. 5.

The suspects triggered an alarm when they broke through a window at the dealership. They then rummaged through the offices in search of car keys. Police were contacted by Sonitrol, Brooks Biddle’s security company, and officers responded without lights or sirens. Doing so enabled them to catch 11 suspects fleeing from the lot, all of them juveniles. The

other two were believed to have run off into the surrounding neighborhood. One more suspect was arrested a few days later and police are still seeking the last suspect.

“I was told that the youngest was 12 years old and I was told that two of the suspects were girls, which was kind of a shock to me,” said John Biddle, president of the Brooks Biddle dealership.

“I didn’t realize that they were all under the age of 18.”

The incident started at around 1 a.m. on Friday.

Responding officers approached the car dealership and set up a cordon of the area. As more officers were heading to the scene, ones already there

Fire marshal Christmas tree safety tips

T

he State Fire Marshal’s Office would like to remind citizens to be fire safe with their holiday decorations this season, especially Christmas trees.

“It takes only seconds for a tree to ignite and the entire room to become engulfed in flames,” said State Fire Marshal Charles Duffy.

The following are Christmas tree safety tips to protect you and your family this holiday season: • Select only a fresh tree that is deep green in color with a strong scent and no falling needles.

• Cut at least one inch (1”) off the bottom of the tree butt using a straight cut.

• Place the tree in a large substantial holder and replenish the water once or twice a day.

• Constant watering is critical.

• Keep the tree away from heat sources such as heaters, fireplaces and wood burning stoves.

• Place tree so it will not block exits and escape routes.

• Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for stringing light sets together.

• As a general rule UL recommends using no more than three standard-size sets of lights together.

• Check all electrical wiring and cords for deterioration, damage, splices, bare wires, broken or cracked light sockets, and loose connections.

• Discard unsafe equipment immediately.

• Do not overload extension cords or electrical receptacles.

• Never run extension or electrical cords under carpets or doors, through walls or across heavily traveled areas.

• When affixing lights, electrical cords or electrical decorations, do not use a staple or other method that might damage or penetrate the electrical wiring.

• Turn off holiday lights when leaving the house or before going to sleep.

• Dispose of your tree when it becomes dry.

• Never put branches or needles in a fireplace or wood burning stove.

Congratulations to the Bothell HS football team I worked for nine years as a sports reporter/ editor and watched many teams win state titles.

From swimming to cross country and even girls soccer, it is never easy and commands great dedication, talent and work ethic.

But it takes more for a football team to win a state title like Bothell High School did on Dec. 6.

Not every high school in Washington can field a lacrosse team, swimming team or even soccer teams. Nearly all have football. Therefore there is more competition. Bothell plays in the 4A class, against the largest high schools in the state, making the accomplishment even larger.

The team’s slogan this year was “One Town, One Team, One Dream,” which is one of the most honest things you can say. I watched the Mercer Island High School boys basketball team dominate for years. It seemed at times that it took the entire school and community to fuel

If asked why they eat, most people would respond because they are hungry. But that seemingly obvious reason is the exception rather than the rule, according to a recent study on the psychology of food intake and portion control. The fact is that our eating decisions are motivated by numerous factors, and only a small fraction of those is based on actual hunger.

The need for nourishment can have multiple causes, many of which we are not even aware of. When we reach for food, we may seek to satisfy emotional as much as physical needs, perhaps even more so.

“Reasons for consumption are many and varied,” said Dr. Katherine Appleton, a professor of psychology at Bournemouth University in Dorset, England and author of the study report.

“Few of us eat just because we are hungry.

Most of the time, we eat as a result of how we feel, or what we think, or even where we are and whom we are with. Most of these psychological factors, though, also result in us eating more than we know we should,” she said to Food Navigator.

Her findings confirm what prior studies have also suggested, including those by Dr. Brian Wansink, the author of “Mindless Eating – Why We Eat More Than We Think” (Bantam Books,

2006).

“We eat largely because of what’s around us.

We overeat not because of hunger but because of family and friends, packages and plates, names and numbers, labels and lights, colors and candles, shapes and smells, distractions and distances, cupboards and containers. The list is almost as endless as it’s invisible,” he writes.

By nature, we are genetically programmed to eat whenever opportunity presents itself, presumably stemming from times when food was much scarcer than it is today. And although the “feast or famine” scenario is no longer as common as it used to be, our instinct for making the most of opportune encounters still exists and influences our behavior.

Even if we recognize these tendencies and consciously take counteraction, there is always the possibility that our control mechanisms get disrupted and overridden when we are faced with temptation, said Dr. Appleton, a response she describes as “disinhibition.” Based on her research, she found that even very healthconscious individuals proved vulnerable in this regard. The “what the hell effect,” as she calls it, is actually quite common, including among successful dieters once they start deviating from Timi Gustafson

their run. But it might be more impressive in football, as there are many more players who have to buy in to what the coaches are selling.

More parents driving kids to practices. More community members coming together to lend support for events.

There was no lack of heroes on the field this year. But there are many more behind the scenes who helped the Bothell football team achieve greatness and they should not be forgotten.

And of course, the accomplishments of the players cannot be overstated this season and I hope that every player got to soak in those moments after the clock ticked to zero against Chiawana. They are memories that last a lifetime and can’t be replaced.

Keeping tabs on one’s eating habits is particularly difficult when it comes to snacking. More than sit-down meals, snack foods are typically consumed without much attention. A study from the Netherlands found that intensely positive as well as negative experiences led study participants to reach for snack items to help them cope.

Enjoying celebratory occasions turned out to be the dominant driver behind unhealthy snacking bouts, followed by opportunity-induced eating, the researchers said. Other motivators were a desire for gaining energy and dealing with stress.

On all accounts, women were more inclined to utilize snacks for emotional reasons (both positive and negative) than men.

The most effective way to counteract urges for overeating is raising awareness, the study concluded. Once people become more conscious of their actions and the resulting damage to their health, they are better equipped to recognize the signals and avoid detrimental behavior. In any case, knowing why we do what we do is always an advantage.

Kenmore students open Christmas tree lot for a cause Two Kenmore residents are expanding their horizons with a Christmas tree lot on State Route 522 during the holiday season, but there’s more to this Christmas story than meets the eye.

Jacob Kelly, a student of industrial engineering at the University of Washington, and Garrett Kelly, a student at Inglemoor High School, are learning how to operate a business - and the community around them.

While the idea for a tree lot came from a cousin of the Kelly’s, the whole family has put their efforts into the Two Brother’s Tree Lot. From unloading the 250 trees in the rain, creating marketing pamphlets, standing on the side of 522 in a Santa suit, to ensuring that each customer is cared for and leaves happy - the Two Brother’s Tree Lot is all about the holidays.

“One of my favorite aspects [is] probably getting to know a lot of different people from around this area that I didn’t initially know before

this,” Jacob said. “…It’s kind of broadening my horizons from people around this area, getting to know more people, and its been pretty beneficial.”

For Jacob, the benefits of the tree lot are not just meeting new people within the community, it’s also saving for a study abroad program to Prague, in the Czech Republic. Garret, still being in high school, doesn’t have plans yet for the money he earns except that most of it is going into the bank.

Aside from learning about the community and gaining funding to better themselves, the Two Brother’s Tree Lot is also donating 10-percent of their profits to the local Northwest Children’s Fund, an organization committed to child welfare in all aspects of life.

“It feels pretty awesome that I’m giving back to other people, especially in my community, it feels nice,” Garrett said.

Garrett is interested in marketing, so he prepared all the business cards and

pamphlets, and both of the brothers helped file the business license with the city of Kenmore. Other hurdles are unique to the type of business.

“One of the biggest challenges is making sure that there are two people down here who can lift the trees up,” Garrett said.

Another challenge was unloading the 250 wet, coniferous trees. Though, according to Garrett, they just had to “grind through it.” A

fact of business.

“Well, it’s just wonderful its just a great thing to do,” said Dr. Robert R. Kelly, a retired dentist and first generation Kenmorian of the family. “They wanted to do this on their own and their dad’s helping them. We’ve had a little setback with the weather but it’s a great thing.”

While those who purchase from the tree lot can go home with an annual Christmas addition, the boys know that their efforts will

be helping build a stronger community that cares about each other.

“It feels good. Obviously I’m giving them money, but more than money they are getting help,” Jacob said.

“Whether that’s for toys this holiday season, or just support in food or basic needs. I think it’s a pretty unique way, pretty awesome.”

The Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce has been celebrating 10 years of community involvement this year. A decade ago, the former “Downtown Bothell Association” launched into the “Greater Bothell Chamber of Commerce” and since that day, has grown to nearly three hundred businesses, residents and institutions.

The Chamber of Commerce not only supports Bothell businesses, but serves the “Greater Bothell” region and incorporates businesses from around the community such as Kenmore, Woodinville, Mill Creek and Kirkland.

This breadth has allowed the Chamber membership to become a strong and supportive contributor to our Northshore community.

The success of the Greater Bothell of Chamber of Commerce has been due in large part to the leadership of the Executive Director, Lori Cadwell. During the Chamber’s Annual Holiday Dinner & Auction on November 21, the Board of Directors recognized Lori for her years of dedication and service to the Chamber.

She has developed strong relationships within the community, has been a key driver of the Chamber’s success, and has been dedicated to a decade of service. Lori consistently engages businesses through the Chamber’s multiple events and has developed a strong confidence in the Chamber’s effectiveness.

This is just one reason the Chamber offers a “money back guarantee” on their membership. The Board is confident that Lori will deliver on our mission.

Tracing ancient trade routes with the myrrh man of Bastyr

disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

M

yrrh is an herb that many people know of as an incense, largely known of from the biblical story of Jesus’ birth; however, one Bastyr University alumnus is looking to expose the lesser known history of this ancient herb.

Sean Bradley, naturopathic doctor and clinic manager at Seattle Asian Medicine and Martial Arts on Lake City Way in Seattle, is a student of the ages and the herbs. As a naturopathic doctor, he uses natural remedies for health issues and has had an interest in the histories of myrrh for a while.

“I did my undergrad in botany and I’ve always wanted to go into plant medicine,” said Bradley, who attended the university in Kenmore. “While I was [at Bastyr] I got interested in the Chinese medicine program as well.”

The interest in Chinese Medicine really fit in with

what he was already doing in life, including practicing and teaching Hapkido.

“Once I graduated from Bastyr and started practicing, I became frustrated with the quality and quantity of herbal medicine texts that were translated,” Bradley said.

Instead of giving up, Bradley went back to the University of Washington to study Chinese language so that he could bridge the gap of information himself.

Bradley is working with others in the study of ancient medicine texts, including Alain Touwaide, who researches medical texts mainly in Greek, Latin, and Arabic.

Bradley and Touwaide chose myrrh to start their research for several reasons. One, it is a highly recognizable plant, both in appearance and in its historical significance.

Secondly, it’s easy to identify where it comes from; while it is cultivated in other places it is primarily

from the Arabic peninsula.

Thirdly, it’s name literally means ‘Bitter,’ which is similar in multiple languages.

The challenges they face are to figure out how and when myrrh traveled from the Mediterranean to Asia and what it was used for when it arrived.

A cross-cultural approach is crucial for understanding how medicine developed.

“The study of the history of medicine is very compartmentalized,” said Touwaide in a press release. “That’s completely wrong. Chinese, Tibetan, Indian, Arabic and Greek medicine were not isolated. They exchanged information and methods and concepts.”

For many, as previously stated, myrrh is known as an incense, not a medicine. However, myrrh also has healing properties for minor cuts and bruises as well as for helping women recover from pregnancy (not used during preg-

nancy).

One of the interesting questions arising from their research is, was Mary, mother of Christ, brought myrrh as an incense or form of post-pregnancy relief? That answer, they may never know, but they can find the answer to other questions.

How long has myrrh been used as a medicine and how early was it used as a medicine in Chinese culture?

Many of these questions may seem as though they are important, that could not be farther from the truth. According to Bradley, these herbs have been used safely and efficiently for millennium and could offer new choices and options for health care.

While the research concerning myrrh is not yet complete, Bradley and his associates are already looking into other herbs to dig up from ancient texts and expand current knowledge concerning uses.

SWAT arrest in Kenmore captures Christopher Robin Hood Editors note: This story first appeared on the Kenmore Reporter website on Dec. 3, shortly after deadline for the Dec. 5 publication.

BY DEANNA ISAACS disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

Days after allegedly assaulting his ex-wife, one of Washington’s Most Wanted, Christopher Robin Hood, was taken into police custody in Kenmore during the early hours of Saturday, Nov. 29, by a team of SWAT officers.

The ordeal started on Nov. 21 when Hood broke into his ex-wife’s house,

after repeatedly stalking her, and then assaulting her. Hood beat the victim several times in the face with the butt of a gun but managed to leave before officers arrived.

A warrant for his arrest was issued due to the violent nature of the assault and his prior crimes.

Hood, who previously changed his name from Christopher Robin Wells to Christopher Robin Hood, was showcased on the TV show Washington’s Most Wanted.

An acquaintance of Hood found out about the warrant through the show and immediately called police to turn him in.

Police immediately

responded and a SWAT team was called in to make the arrest. Hood had been staying with his girlfriend and his girlfriends’ mother at the Coventry Place Condo’s in Kenmore, where the SWAT arrest was made.

According to Chief Cliff Sether of the Kenmore Police Department, the most difficult part of the arrest was rousing the SWAT team and finding a judge to authorize the search warrant.

“Really because of his history and level of violence, I decided to call in SWAT Team,” Sether said.

“It was executed without any incident, largely [due to] professionalism of

officers.”

Police surrounded the building that Hood was staying in and SWAT initiated contact with him around 3 a.m., waking many residents of the building Hood hid in.

serious than a traffic stop. I got up and looked out the window and there was a SWAT guy standing outside my window,” said a resident of the building who is unnamed due to safety concerns. “I’ve never seen that before so it was a little weird.”

Those in the building around the unit Hood was in could hear much of what happened that evening. The police assured residents who contacted them that there was nothing to worry about.

“I was never scared whatsoever, it was more like ‘Oh my God I can’t believe this is happening in Kenmore,’” said the

same witness. “I thought [the SWAT team] were amazing… I never felt scared at all. I knew there was SWAT there, so there was a huge police presence. [Hood] is not a resident here, I never felt unsafe.”

Hood surrendered peacefully.

“I’m not frightened, I used to work for the police and I’ve traveled all over the world,” said another resident of the Coventry Place Condos.

“The Bothell and Kenmore Police, they’re tops.

I’m a lot more secure in this area than elsewhere because of the confidence I have in our police.”

Hood is currently being held on a $1 million bail for multiple Seattle Police Deaprtment warrants.

Cub Scouts fill sandbags after big storm Cub Scouts and their parents from Pack 584 of Bothell filled sandbags at the Bothell Operations Center to replenish the city’s supply of sandbags. With shovels and smiles, the 21 Cub Scouts filled between 350 and 400 sandbags to provide the city with 10 pallets worth of sandbags – enough to get the city through the rainy season for at least two years.

“The timing of this service project couldn’t have been better,” said Cubmaster Kevin Devin. “The city had just utilized the last of their supply of filled sandbags during the series of storms that blew through the area earlier in the week.”

Cub Scout Pack 584, chartered by the First Lutheran Church of Bothell, seeks to perform four service projects per program year ranging from clearing invasive plants and planting native trees to collecting food for local food banks to filling sandbags to cleaning up local schools. The boys from the pack use these opportunities for earning their Citizenship Belt Loop or their Citizenship Activity Pin.

...healthy living Outpatient knee replacement Knee replacement surgery is one of the most effective operations in orthopedics.

More than 600,000 kneereplacement surgeries are performed annually in the United States. The goal of this procedure is to reduce

pain from arthritis. Knee replacement surgery involves replacing the joint surfaces where the cartilage has been damaged, with metal and plastic components.

Traditionally, knee replacement surgery is a major surgical procedure that involves a two-to-five night hospital stay.

Recent surgical innovations, such as minimally invasive techniques and computer navigation, allow surgeons to perform knee replacement through smaller incisions with less tissue damage, which means less pain after surgery and a quicker recovery. Pain can also be managed with the help of new anesthetic agents that can be placed within the knee at the time of surgery.

These advances have drastically reduced the number of days patients stay in the hospital, sometimes eliminating the need for a hospital stay altogether.

The Northshore Fire Department has retired more than $1.9 million in long-term bond debt, saving taxpayers roughly $1.1 million in interest

payments during the next 15 years.

The debt was incurred in 2009 when the fire department issued $17 million in voter-approved bonds to fund the purchase of property and construction of its new headquarters

station and training facility in Kenmore.

The bond debt reduction was made possible by the sale of the fire department’s former headquarters station. The Board of Fire Commissioners took action to use the proceeds from the sale to retire the last year of what was a 20year bond.

The former station served as Northshore’s headquarters from 1977 to 2011 and is now home to Colombia Crest Montessori School.

New height restrictions to impact businesses along waterfront

By Deanna Isaacs

disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

The Kenmore City Council voted 5-2 on Dec. 8 to change the height restrictions in a certain Kenmore business zone to no more than 40 feet in order to preserve views of Lake Washington from the 522 corridor.

The zone in question includes Kenmore Air and the Northlake Marina, but not the Cement plant to the east.

“It’s better than what they were trying to impose upon

us, but it still eliminates the likelihood of some of the proposed projects that we had looked at to allow more access to the lake,” said Jim Davidson, owner of the Northshore Marina.

The first proposal was to cap heights at 35 feet, with a setback for views; however, there were also three other proposals for height restrictions ranging from 35-50 feet.

Current regulations offer a base height of 35 feet and a maximum height of 75 feet, with setbacks from the property line to preserve

views. “[The decision] will create a stagnant condition or availability of wet or dry storage of boats, which will limit new people from having easy access to Lake Washington and the Kenmore area,” Davidson said.

“And, it will probably drive up costs for the people that are there.”

However, many of the citizens who spoke at the session urged the council to limit the heights of businesses in order to ensure that their views from houses on the hill and from

walking or driving along 522.

“I would encourage you to support the planning commissions recommendation,” said Kenmore resident Jack Pinnell during the meeting.

Others at the meeting showed support for the two businesses in question.

“As a member of this community, I sincerely believe we need to support their business improvement efforts, and others, by compromising and strengthening reasonable balance regarding height restrictions

between 61st and Northeast 175th extending to the east and north to Bothell Way,” said Kenmore resident Tom Herman.

The passed proposal will allow for businesses that are not mixed use to build their structures to 40 feet.

“We’re disappointed,” said Todd Banks, president of Kenmore Air. “Its frustrating that we were singled out, that our property was singled out, and downsized when other people in the area didn’t get the same downsizing.”

Bothell residents volunteer to save lives with sleeping bags

By Deanna Isaacs

disaacs@bothell-reporter.com

Sleepless in Seattle may be a movie from the 1990s, but it is also a part of daily life for many area homeless.

As temperatures plummet below freezing, thousands of King County residents are left in the cold with nowhere to sleep.

“Sleepless in Seattle - Seattle Gives Back” is an IndieGogo campaign started by UW Bothell student Eddie Wang, to distribute coldweather sleeping bags to as many homeless in King County as possible. Dozens of souls hit the pavement for the ‘Big Give’ event on Dec. 13 to provide a warm place to sleep for many homeless on the streets.

“For me, personally, it’s just a great opportunity to see some active change within the mindset of the community,” said Galen Carlson, a Bothell resident volunteering with Sleepless in Seattle. “I know one of the hardest things about getting involved in something like this is the feeling of helplessness that no

matter what you do its not going to make a difference.”

For those on the receiving end of the sleeping bags, the effort was by no means a small act. Thousands of people in King County have nowhere to sleep nor roof over their head, finding refuge on bus stop benches, in parks, or wherever they could find someplace to sleep for a few hours.

“The biggest impact for me was to touch someone’s life personally,” said Bothell resident and volunteer Nidhi Mehta. “If I can give them one night of comfort, so that they can sleep better in the cold harsh weather, I can do this again and again.”

Mehta and Anna Evanger, both Bothell residents, volunteered for the Big Give event and spent the entirety of Saturday either in training or actively looking for people to give sleeping bags, clothing and food.

They found out soon enough, though, that it is more easily said than done.

After a fruitless search through parts of Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville and

From left, Nidhi Mehta and Anna Evanger of Bothell help to distribute sleeping bags to homeless people on the streets of Seattle. Deanna Isaacs, Bothell Reporter Kirkland, they were redirected towards Rainier Avenue in Seattle - where they found instant success.

“I love it, cause I’m home-

less,” said Myron Langston, who was helped by the Big Give. “Thank you.”

For people like Langston, the bags aren’t just

a place to sleep, but life.

When weather gets too cold outside, many area shelters fill up quickly; having a sleeping bag means that

do not apply to any businesses outside the newly created Waterfront Business District.

“Some people in Kenmore say they want to be a business friendly community and it’s extremely unfriendly to business to downsize two of the longest standing businesses in Kenmore when we have very little say about what was happening,” Banks said.

Kenmore Air and Northlake Marina officials have both stated that they don’t plan on appealing the new height restrictions. there will always be a warm place to rest.

“You gave me a sleeping bag and I appreciate it, because I’m homeless,” said Allen Jackson. “So thank you very much, as I’m on the street.”

For Evanger, the biggest impact was working alongside the people on the project, those thoughtful and devoted souls working their hardest to help those in need.

“I [am] thankful we were able to do this; you could see that it was going to impact the recipients,” Evanger said.

During the Big Give event from Sleepless in Seattle, 220 volunteers gave out around 2,200 sleeping bags during an estimated six-hour window.

For those who received bags, it is a boon they are not likely to forget. For those who volunteered, its been a way to ensure that the community comes together for those in need.

Bothell will ask lawmakers to help save forest Everett Herald

Preservation of undeveloped space in the city of Bothell is in doubt after voters rejected a bond measure last month.

The city now is counting on lawmakers in Olympia and Washington, D.C., to allocate money to save the North Creek Forest.

And city officials are back at the drawing board when it comes to paying for a massive makeover of downtown and other projects that were to receive money from Bothell’s failed Proposition 1. It would have provided for $42 million in bonds for improvements to parks and acquisition of public space.

The measure included $1 million to buy land to complete conservation of the North Creek Forest, a large natural area north of

Sheriff seeks information on luring incident in Bothell The Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office is seek-

the University of Washington Bothell campus.

Since 2011, the city has acquired two-thirds of an undeveloped, wedgeshaped 64-acre tract of land along I-405. Now Bothell needs about $1.3 million to buy a remaining 22 acres before the land is developed.

Landowners were poised to build on the property before the housing market crashed, said Jim Freese, the volunteer director for Friends of North Creek Forest. The group helps the city find resources to buy land and preserve the woods.

Freese said it is critical that Bothell secure money soon, because a purchase option for two of the three remaining parcels expires next summer. After that, the owner is not obligated to delay logging and development.

The family that owns the third parcel also is looking to sell, Freese said. The retired electrician worries that once the woods are gone, they’re gone for good.

“I’d like to see this forest here for generations to come,” he said.

The woods boast Douglas fir, red cedar, maple and western hemlock trees. At least 110 species of native plants, trees, mosses and lichens have been identified. There are black-tailed deer, coyotes, pileated woodpeckers, band-tailed pigeons and salamanders.

The forest is buffered by a salmon stream that provides a spawning spot for chinook, coho, kokanee, sockeye and steelhead.

The city plans to keep the forest as a park, with a few trails altering the landscape.

But if Bothell doesn’t buy it soon, there could be two wide swaths of developed

land within the preserved area.

Without the bond money, the city is depending on two grants, totaling $1.5 million, to make the purchase.

The North Creek Forest scored the highest in the state when it was nominated for a $500,000 Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. The federal grant is administered by the state.

Congress must approve the funding before any of the projects receive payouts.

The city is also waiting to see if the Legislature provides money for a $1 million local parks grant for the North Creek Forest and other outdoor projects across Washington.

Freese said he hopes the state Supreme Court’s mandate to fully fund public education will not mean fewer dollars in the budget for conservation efforts.

ing information from the public about a child luring incident that occurred Dec. 8 in Bothell.

A 12 year-old female Skyline Junior High student reported that she was walking home around 3 p.m. from her bus stop at the intersection of 196th Street Southeast and 24th Drive Southeast when a man sitting in a parked pick-

up truck jumped out, grabbed her and yelled, “Boo!” The girl said it appeared that the man then noticed three other students nearby, got back into his vehicle and fled the area. Witnesses to the incident corroborated her account of events.

The suspect is described as a white male in his mid-40s, 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-11, with gray

medium-length hair and a gray beard. He was driving a tan colored standard-cab pickup truck.

Anyone with information about this incident should call 911.

“If they raid parks funds for that money, that’d be disastrous for our work,” he said. “We’re optimistic the Legislature will be able to include reasonable funding.”

While the forest effort has potential grant funding, the city is brainstorming new ways to pay for other projects that were to receive bond money.

“We don’t have a defined plan B yet,” assistant city manager Peter Troedsson said.

One such project is the city’s downtown revitalization effort. The vision is to make improvements aimed at increasing outdoor recreation and boosting traffic to local businesses.

The city wants to increase the amount of park-like spaces in Bothell, but the land available to do so is shrinking, Troedsson said.

Toward that goal, the City Council in May designated Multiway Boulevard and Main Street as “parkways.”

That way, money from the

bond could be spent on street projects.

Proposition 1 slated millions for improving Main Street and finishing Multiway Boulevard, a project to turn a 2.5-mile section of the Bothell-Everett Highway into a wide, tree-lined thoroughfare with pedestrian walks and bikeways.

That drew criticism from opponents. Some called the measure deceptive because much of the money went to streets instead of open space.

With the bond’s failure, it might take longer for the city to pay for some of the projects, Troedsson said.

Others, particularly those that required the city to buy land, might be lost opportunities.

The city, he said, continues to look for “innovative” ways to pay for parks and infrastructure.

“All those projects are worthwhile,” Troedsson said. “They remain in our plan for our future.
