irkland Mayor Amy Walen was re-elected to head the Kirkland City Council and Councilman Jay Arnold was elected

deputy mayor during the Council’s first meeting of 2016 on Tuesday night at Kirkland City Hall. Both will serve two-year terms.

During the meeting, Councilmembers Toby Nixon, Shelley Kloba and Dave Asher were sworn

into office by Kirkland Municipal Judge Michael Lambo after winning re-election in November.

Kloba begins her second term as a councilmember while Asher is the longest tenured councilmember, being first elected

in 1999. Nixon was not challenged during the election.

In 2013, the Alliance of Eastside Agencies, a professional membership organization of human service providers, honored Walen as the Elected

Official of the Year. In June of 2015, Association of Washington Cities (AWC) presented Walen with the Advocacy AllStar Award, celebrating her actions in advocating for Kirkland and cities around the state. Walen

Inquest ordered into fatal City still considering options for CKC recommendation Kirkland police shooting County to remove tracks on BNSF line, as Save Our Trail collects signatures for petition

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

As more details emerge from Sound Transit as to its plans for an upcoming ballot measure this November, some Kirkland city officials are considering possible support for light rail on the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

At its Jan. 5 meeting, the City Council discussed the latest information to come from Sound Transit based on a December workshop examining candidate projects for their ballot mea-

sure, three of which would involve placing some form of rapid transit on the Eastside Rail Corridor (ERC), which runs through the city of Kirkland along with other municipalities on the Eastside. Kirkland city officials also met with the public at a meeting Monday night at the Lake Washington Institute of Technology to provide an update on where things stand, as well as solicit further feedback from residents before sending a letter to Sound Transit stating their recommenda-

tions for projects.

During the Jan. 5 meeting, city of Kirkland Public Works Director Kathy Brown said that one of the revelations to come from the December workshop is that Sound Transit is looking at longer financing term, which she said could make light rail affordable and, in their mind, doable on the CKC in the ST3 package. Because of this, she said, city officials could see supporting light rail “as long as its recast in a way we could consider either

mode in the future knowing that nothing is going to be built right away.”

“We have years to really work with the community and figure out what works best,” she said.

“If a larger/longer ballot measure is proposed, Kirkland staff are recommending that the ST3 measure includes full funding for light rail from Totem Lake to Bellevue, but that there be sufficient flexibility in the language to allow for BRT on that segment if the [ more CKC page 3 ]

King County Executive Dow Constantine has ordered an inquest into the fatal shooting of Robert Burgess Jr. by a Kirkland police officer in October.

Burgess was shot by police after attempting several carjackings in the Totem Lake neighborhood Oct. 15. The King County Investigative Response Team claims that he was killed after trying to take one of the officers’ guns while they were arresting him.

“This was nothing new.

Our officers were fully aware

that this was the procedure,” said Kirkland Police Department Spokesperson Mike Murray. “We’ve been waiting to hear when the date would be.”

The King County Prosecutor recommended the inquest after reviewing materials from the King County Investigative Response Team, consisting of investigators from the Bellevue, Kirkland, Bothell, and Redmond Police Departments, and the King County Sheriff ’s Office.

Inquests are fact-finding hearings conducted before a six-member jury. Under [ more INQUEST page 5 ]

King County takes first steps towards regional Eastside trail

[ CKC from page 1]

Kirkland community concludes BRT is a better fit,” a city memo reads.

However, councilmembers like Dave Asher expressed reservations about light rail, though stated a need to work with Sound Transit.

Although there are several candidate projects that would have Sound Transit in Kirkland, many city officials like Mayor Amy Walen believe some of them will not adequately meet the needs of the city for the future.

“A bus stop on 85th Street is completely unacceptable,” she said. “We must insist on service for Kirkland in 25 years.”

The future of the CKC, and the possibility of rapid transit being placed on it, has produced a strong response from the community, many of whom are resistant to the idea of motorized transit of any kind in the corridor and are opposed to the city’s stated intent to lobby Sound Transit to include a proposed project for bus rapid transit (BRT) in the ERC. At the same time, organizations such as Save Our Trail has urged both the city and Sound Transit to put BRT on Interstate 405 instead, which they believe would be much cheaper to build and operate, as well as support more riders and move them faster than if placed on the trail. So far it has garnered 1,500 signatures for its online petition.

Kirkland residents opposed to the plans fear that transit will ruin the feel of

city limits. The 5.75 mile CKC interim trail opened last year and is the only developed trail so far on the ERC. During the ceremony, King County Executive Dow Constantine said the removal of the historic railroad tracks marks the beginning of a new use for the corridor and toward “putting to productive use this last long unbroken strip of land running north and south in East King County.”

The county is currently working on its own draft for a trail master plan and intends to release it, along with an environmental impact statement, sometime next month for public feedback and community outreach. Their hope, he said, is for the trail to connect people from Totem Lake to Montlake and from Google to the University of Washington, ultimately

connecting to 13 major trails.

“The value of this trail cannot be overstated,” Constantine said.

Recently elected King County Council member and former Bellevue mayor Claudia Balducci called the first step toward a new trail “an incredible opportunity

to the people of our region,” while adding that it also marks a new stage in community outreach. Balducci represents the 6th District which includes Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond, among other areas.

“We need to continue to work with those already living near the corridor to

“Some of those who have said they oppose HCT on the CKC have said that they would support it if there were a ‘legally binding’ way to obtain assurance that the CKC would be built out according to the Master Plan vision,” the memo reads further.

The greatest complication in the discussion by far has been the different types of ownership of the corridor.

While King County owns around 15 miles of the ERC including the section through Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond own the sections within their jurisdiction.

However, Sound Transit has a 30-foot easement throughout the entire corridor for the purpose of placing high capacity transit there.

During the Jan. 5 meeting, Walen noted that “this conversation would have been totally different if Kirkland hadn’t purchased the corridor.”

“Everything we have done is to improve the corridor and we will not allow it to be ruined,” she said.

Regardless of what project makes the ballot measure or

whether voters even approve it in November, nothing is expected to be placed on the corridor any time soon.

King County recently held a ceremonial removal of railroad spikes along with the ERC at the 108th Avenue Northeast crossing between the Bellevue-Kirkland border to signal its own plans to

achieve the current and future potential of the ERC,” she said. “But also with those who live a quarter mile away, a half a mile away, so that everybody sees the potential here and everybody circles around to support this vision.”

Bellevue Mayor John Stokes, who also spoke at the ceremony, said that the county’s trail will provide better connection for people to jobs and recreation, including the 70 miles of trail located inside Bellevue.

According to Kirkland city officials, the soonest anything would go on the corridor would be roughly 8-15 years for bus rapid transit and nearly twice as long for light rail.

King County took the first steps towards opening a trail on its section of the Eastside Rail Corridor by removing railroad spikes on the Bellevue and Kirkland boundary on Friday.

The ceremony took place near the South Kirkland Park and Ride at 108th Avenue Northeast, where the Cross Kirkland Corridor interim trail ends. The tracks will be salvaged and sold to pay for the costs of their removal and possibly go toward the construction of the new trail.

Officials attending the ceremony from Kirkland included City Manager Kurt Triplett, Mayor Amy Walen, Deputy Mayor Jay Arnold, state Rep. Joan McBride and former mayor Deb Eddy who works with the ERC’s Regional Advisory Council.

While speaking during the ceremony, Arnold said that “the value of the corridor increases not just with each connection node added, but with each transportation mode added.”

“By working together we’re extending this trail to light rail in Bellevue and by pursuing our long held vision of trails and transit we will turn this corridor into a world-class multimodal transportation facility connecting the Eastside to the region,” he said.

He also mentioned Kirkland’s plans to construct a 65-foot elevator to provide better access from the street to the trail.

The county owns roughly 15.6 miles of the 41 mile corridor that stretches from Renton up through Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond and Woodinville. Kirkland and Redmond each own the sections of the ERC in their

Are mistakes in tolling costing I-405 drivers?

I have just received a “Good To Go” pay by mail toll bill for $2.75 for my late mother’s 1982 Subaru. This vehicle has been sitting in my garage since January 2011, does not run, and does not have current tabs.

The bill provides a toll bill dispute form that would require me to attach documentation that proves that the charge is incorrect.

How does one prove that the car would not run on the date in dispute?

My first inclination was to just pay the $2.75 because I would probably spend a lot of time, getting nowhere, in an attempt to settle this dispute, but I decided that I was not going to pay a bogus bill. I called the customer service center and was flabbergasted to learn that the photo that was supposed to show my mother’s car actually showed just bare pavement - no car at all. When I questioned the representative about how they came up with the Subaru license number, he said he didn’t know but would delete the charge.

I wonder how many “mistakes” are being made and what percent of the mistakes are being discovered and challenged. According to Lynn Peterson, the CEO of Washington State Department of Transportation, the company responsible for the I-405 tolling is Electronic Transactions Consultants(ETC) based in Richardson, Texas. ETC receives 55 percent of the gross tolls that they collect. If they make 1,000 $2.75 “mistakes” that go unchallenged, they will pick up an extra $1,512.50. A 100,000 $2.75 “mistakes” and their cash register rings to the tune of $151,250. Sweet.

Why is WSDOT using an out of state vendor in order to collect tolls on our roads, especially Electronics Transactions Consultants, a firm that has been embroiled in lawsuits in Louisiana and Miami? WSDOT also gives 15 cents per toll to a Rockville, Maryland company that is involved in the operations and maintenance of the tolling system.

More importantly, I wonder why WSDOT is allowing these out-of-state vendors to keep more than half of the revenue that they collect on our toll roads.

Keith Dunbar’s suggestion that the tolls be replaced by an increase in the gas tax is right on target. Not only is the gas tax a fair way to fund improvements to our roads, but no billing companies are needed to collect this revenue, the motorist doesn’t have to deal with bogus billing activities; and better yet, 100 percent of the money collected stays in the state of Washington.

Laurel D. Lupton, Kirkland

Don’t support bus rapid transit on the CKC As homeowners in Highland Pointe, we do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. There are numerous considerations for our position including the habitat (it is used by deer, rabbits and coyotes) as well as the wetland aspects that should be left intact. It is incumbent upon the makers of policy for the city of Kirkland to maintain the integrity of the trail as it exists, not destroy it.

Additionally, there are many safety concerns with buses on the Cross Kirkland Trail: It is near many parks and schools It’s used by many school children and professional going to work It connects neighborhoods and has a lot of pedestrian cross traffic

We will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the Cross Kirkland Trail.

Beverley and Curt Kiessig, Kirkland

Rapid Transit on the CKC is unconscionable I do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

There are many safety concerns with buses on the CKC: It is near many parks and schools It’s used by many school kids It connects neighborhoods and has a lot of pedestrian cross traffic I will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the CKC. It is incomprehensible to me how any right minded individual would think and propose that mass transit sharing a pedestrian/ bike trail is a “good idea.” This is a very bad alternative when clearly there are other workable alternatives. I live two blocks up from the trail in the Houghton area. If this rapid transit proposition was going to be the city’s and Metro’s choice, why in the world was the trail established in the first place. Why didn’t the powers that be just remove the tracks and trail and put in a public road that mass transit could utilize. Why mask the project as a lovely, natural, safe haven for pedestrians and cyclists? Rapid Transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor is unconscionable.

June Schenck, Kirkland

Why is Potala disregarding EIS? Potala Village Kirkland underwent an Environmental Impact Study and then with the city agreed to compromise mitigations to address incompatibility and impacts.

Why does the current Potala proposal seem to disregard (and no longer honor) the mitigations?

This is my shortest letter to the editor, but has me scratching my head more than any before.

Karen Levenson, Kirkland

Trail will have more value in 30 years than a bus line I have two questions for the Kirkland City

Council and the City Manager. Have you walked the CKC (Cross Kirkland Corridor) trail from one end to the other? Have you used Metro buses on the eastside and specifically through Kirkland?

The city of Kirkland has identified and signed large areas along the CKC path as environmentally sensitive areas, which include wetlands and steep slopes. Will the city ignore their own environmental regulations, including Washington State Department of Ecology laws and regulations so they can build a bus or rail system? Dear City Council, you don’t let private property owners fill in wetlands or construct on steep slopes, so why can government do this?

Secondly, it may surprise the City Council and City Manager, but we already have bus service that crosses Kirkland from Totem Lake to the South Bellevue Park and Ride.

We have transit centers adjacent to Evergreen hospital, downtown Kirkland and the park and ride. There are multiple bus lines that crisscross Kirkland. We don’t need to spend $70-90 million on another bus line. What we need is increased frequency and expansion of Metro bus service through and to Kirkland and simply expand what is already in place.

Come on (Mayor) Amy (Walen), get out of that new car you drive and take a bus and see what is out there. If the council wants to leave a legacy, how about leaving a beautiful greenbelt and trail that goes the full length of Kirkland. Valuable open space, in an urban area will have more value in 30 years than a bus system that cuts through neighborhoods, parks, roadways and school areas.

According to statistics, however, these well-meaning attempts are mostly doomed to fail. The vast majority of ‘bornagain’ dieters and exercise enthusiasts will give up in less than a month. The reasons can be myriad, and sometimes they are beyond a person’s control. But there are also ways to beat the odds and find success at last.

One reason so many people get frustrated with their weight loss efforts is that they expect too much too quickly. In fact, setting unrealistic goals can sabotage the best laid plans.

Especially with weight loss, people should not look for fast results but for lasting outcomes.

Attacking the problem rigorously with short-term strategies may be more attractive to some, but radical approaches are usually unsustainable and even counterproductive over time. In any case,

Kirkland company improves popular Timebox app for photos and videos

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland-based entrepreneurs Mary Ellen Heinen and Len Kawell have released a third version of their Timebox app that is intended to help users handle the growing number of photos they take on a regular basis, especially while on vacation.

Timebox 3.0 automatically organizes all photos and videos in the user’s library and syncs them across Apple devices through iCloud.

Kawell said that the app, which costs $4.99, is ideal for people who take lots of photos and/ or videos and are looking for a way to organize them efficiently. The app also helps because many of those same photos land on Facebook or Instagram, while others merely consume storage space on devices.

“One of the things we noticed is that people are collecting more and

more digital media,” he said. “Photographs are one of the biggest things.

Now that everyone has a camera in their pocket, they take pictures constantly. There are just a ton of photos that they don’t ever look at again.

It just takes up space. So our goal is to try and help people do something with that huge collection of photos.”

Some of the ways that Timebox can organize photos is based on their description, the day they were taken or by the captions. The variety of search methods makes it possible to track down photos a user has lost or can’t find. For those who have thousands of photos, Kawell said, the automatic process can cut down on the amount of time they spend organizing their photos.

“People don’t have a lot of time to do this kind of organization, they see it as a chore,” he said.

“Timebox 3.0 eliminates

the chore and to make it automatic as possible.

We organize it all for you. You can continue to organize it yourself but you get a lot of work done for you.”

The third version is based on feedback they received from users. The most common thing they heard, Heinen said, is that they loved the app but wanted it to be even easier and faster. One of the ways it does this is by automatically adding titles to a day’s photos and videos, so users don’t have to manually tag each photo after the fact.

The app can now put together photos, videos and live photos into a single video. This feature, they said, will have a large appeal for people looking to put tother something for a trip, wedding, birthday or family vacation without having to spend hours producing a video compilation with editing software.

“You can do it with

editing apps, but it’s literally one button press to stitch together videos and photos from a day,” Kawell said. “We do it regularly, and it’s great for trips because it organizes the days of your trip. You don’t have to worry too much about it. We think that’s a particularly handy use for it for families and anyone. Now that everyone has a camera all the time, it’s easy to express yourself or remember an occasion with a photo. In a previous era, we had to write letters in words. You can capture the whole scene in a photograph.”

The video can then be sent to friends and family through a variety of social media handles as well as email.

“Sharing is so important,” Heinen said. “You can really stay connected by easily sharing little movies of things.”

Heinen and Kawell previously co-founded Pepper Computer, Inc. a software and hardware developer for tablets.

They also co-founded Glassbook, Inc., a software company that developed the Glassbook eBook reader.

Council votes to add parking restrictions based on feedback

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartnell@kirklandreporter.com

The Kirkland City Council voted to amend the municipal code to include several street parking restrictions based on feedback from both police and residents.

The ordinance prohibits vehicles with expired or invalid license tabs from being parked on city streets and makes it a civil infraction to park a vehicle in a way so that it covers two or more parking stalls or in an area used to maneuver out of other parking stalls.

Another provision in the ordinance restricts parking near mailboxes, requiring at least seven feet and six inches on either side between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. unless when necessary due traffic conflicts on narrow roads or for picking up and dropping people off.

Some of the recom-

mendations were made by the Kirkland Police Department, according to a city memo, based on difficulties in writing citations for vehicles with outdated or inaccurate information.

Others, such as the restriction on parking near mailboxes, were made by the Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods, which has been conducting a review of parking problems.

Other possible changes to parking on city streets may be added in the future.

In September, the council voted to prohibit drivers from using electric charging stations as parking spots for their electric cars, stipulating that they actually charge their vehicle while occupying the stall.

The driver also has to pay a fee to use the charging station if the other parking stalls surrounding it require a fee to park.

Donald J. Trump’s lies have to stop Here is another installment in the saga in the continuing soap opera called Donald J. Trump.

I believe that Mr. Trump stands in front of his mirror every day and if he doesn’t get the answer he wants, then he says who can I destroy today. I remember when everyone called Bill Clinton the teflon candidate, well I am calling Mr. Trump the “Silky” Candidate.

I believe if anyone ever talked or acted like Mr. Trump stating: 1. He wants to build a wall on our southern border to stop all Latinos that are crossing our border Because he says they are all criminals, drug dealers and rapists!

Of course this is another lie!

I am very surprised that Mr. Trump hasn’t asked that Sen. Rubio and Sen. Cruz prove that they are legal citizens. As he demanded President Obama do. To prove he was born in the United States legally.

2. He stands at the podiums and belittles and

degrades all women, in other words, I consider him a “sexist” and then he says that he respects and loves all women?

“No one loves women more than me.” Now what does that mean? Isn’t it against his religion to be married and then divorce and then to get married again, where is his family values?

3. He wants to stop letting into the United States of America all Muslims. As everyone knows it is illegal and against our Constitution.

4. He stated that thousands of Muslims in New Jersey were cheering as the Twin Towers were destroyed on 9/11. Again, another lie.

5. It wasn’t until after Mr. Trump started talking and screaming against the Muslim people that several Mosques started to get bombed. I never heard Mr. Trump even plead and tell people to stop losing control and cause harm to anyone on any of their properties.

Which was very disgraceful.

6. He also stated that there has never been a sports star that was Muslim. Again, another lie.

What about Muhammed Ali, one of the greatest professional boxers ever. Are you

really going to tell me and the world that he never heard of Ali? Another lie.

Mr. Trump would probably be using the phrase “I am the greatest,” but as everyone knows it was used and coined by Muhammed Ali. What about Kareem Abdul Jabbar, one of the best of all time professional basketball players to ever play the game? What is more remarkable, Kareem even has a picture of both Trump and Kareem together. He lied again.

I know if I or anyone else tried to say or state these claims against so many different people, we would be fired for discrimination.

7. How dare Mr. Trump stand at a podium and make a mockery of a distinguished reporter because the reporter has some physical disabilities. He stood up at the podium and shook his hands and mumbled his words and then he had the gall to say he didn’t even meet or know the reporter. And again he did meet the reporter. Another lie! How much longer are we going to put up with his lies and mocking? Enough is enough.

Mel Aznoff, Kirkland

Pray for our blessings and police I have a question regarding the new Crane in its Vigilance sculpture recently unveiled at the new Kirkland [Justice Center]: The crane with the stone in its claw is a very nice symbol and I’m sure the sculpture is a very fine piece of artwork, but how many people are aware of the true source of our protection and security? Our lives depend on the answer to that question.

It has been written, “Unless the lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest eating the bread of anxious toil, for He gives to his beloved sleep.” It has also been written, “do not put your trust in men, no, not even in princes.”

Truth matters. Knowing the truth can make the difference between life and death and the truth is that Jesus is our only hope. Jesus is the only one who can solve the problem of sin and the evil that comes from it.

The police and the courts

can do so little to stem the tidal wave of darkness, violence and evil that is now sweeping over this world.

According to news reports of the New Years Eve attacks on women in Cologne, Germany, there were 1,000 or more criminals and 200 police officers. According to one police officer, officers’ orders were ignored, they were pelted with lighted fire crackers and glass bottles and if an officer tried to speak with one of the miscreants, he was immediately surrounded and menaced by several of the miscreant’s buddies.

Please do not be fooled into thinking that things like this can only happen to other people in other parts of the world. Sin is universal and the only reason that America has been so relatively free of this kind of evil is because of our Judeo/Christian heritage and culture. But that is rapidly disappearing and we are becoming so much more vulnerable.

Police do not just have a tough job. They have an impossible job. Only with God’s power, wisdom and guidance can they even hope to do it.

They need our prayers.

Former councilman hopes new developments spark excellence

s the Parkplace plans for redevelopment progress, the nearby Areté Kirkland on Central Way is starting to fill up.

Local developer former Kirkland City Council member Robert Pantley of Natural Built Environments said the first three buildings have been completed, with two more to come. Both are expected to be completed sometime this spring.

The residential space, which includes microapartments with community kitchens, is intended to provide a living space for artists to work and live in downtown Kirkland.

Out of the 152 units, he said, around 122 have been leased already.

The name “Areté” comes from a Greek word which refers to moral virtue or “excellence of any kind,” and for Pantley it represents the kind of atmosphere they want to promote for the artists.

“It’s excellence in the human endeavor,” he said. “It’s about being the best you

can be to the point of being virtuous, to really mean it and to live it. None of us are perfect we all strive to be perfect.”

The apartments are also designed for those who work in Kirkland and want to avoid commuting but aren’t able to afford high rent in the area, though some retail and restaurants are planned.

The residential units also appeal to those like Dierdre Thomas, who used to teach art and did abstract painting before a health condition impacted the use of her hands and required her to use a cane to get around. Living at Vision Five in Redmond, another one of Pantley’s residential developments, she moved to Areté to take advantage of its ideal location in downtown, along with the handicap-friendly elevators that allow her to live on an upper floor.

Last month for Christmas, Pantley furnished her with a scooter to help her get around downtown easier.

Although she’s not doing art anymore, Thomas said Areté appeals to artists.

“I think a lot of it too is the atmosphere,” she said.

“You’re around a bunch of different people who really have the drive to want to produce the art.”

The community space includes an artist room and a private music jam room where people can play music and have dinner.

There is also another large conference room open to the public for free.

“People are always trying to find places for them to meet,” he said. “City hall is always filled up, so we have a place just for people to meet. It’s a real challenge for people to understand it’s free.”

Since Areté opened late last summer, it has attracted new organizational and business tenants such as the Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, which was forced to move from its Parkplace office across the street, and Pantley said they anticipate more tenants as word gets around.

“We love Kirkland and we really believe in Kirkland,” he said. “The personality of Arete reflects that.”

Man linked to Kirkland car prowl, sentenced to 60 months in prison REPORTER STAFF

Redmond police recently concluded a long investigation of a car prowler, who was sentenced on Dec. 18, 2015 in King County Superior Court.

According to a Redmond Police Department (RPD) press release and the King County Prosecutor’s Office, Denis Podgayets — who was connected to 10 cases in Redmond — received a 60-month prison sentence for felony car-prowling charges. He was also given 65 months in prison and 12 months Department of

Kirkland receives Google e-City Award for Washington Google and Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen announced that the city of Kirkland has been named the 2015 eCity of Washing-

Corrections supervision on a drug charge, which he will have to serve once he gets out of prison.

In September 2015, Podgayets pled guilty to a variety of charges, including one count of felony car prowling and second-degree identity theft from Redmond cases, a non-felony car prowl in Kirkland and a distributionof-heroin case filed by another agency.

In the summer of 2014, Redmond police began investigating Podgayets after he was identified as a suspect in a car prowl in the Grass Lawn area. The de-

partment was familiar with Podgayets, having interacted with him multiple times.

He had a history of confessing to only misdemeanor crimes, which allowed him to avoid prison.

After a lengthy and thorough investigation, RPD was able to link Podgayets to 10 different car-prowl cases. Due to the fact that he had six prior misdemeanor car-prowl convictions, Redmond police contacted the King County Prosecutor’s Office and made a special request that they take this case and file it under the new

Felony Car Prowl Statute.

In July of 2013, the state of Washington enacted a new law allowing anyone with two second-degree vehicle-prowling convictions to be charged with a class-C felony upon a third or subsequent conviction.

Based on Podgayets’ history, Redmond police and the King County prosecutor worked collaboratively on this case, filing felony car-prowling charges. He was the first person in King County to be charged under this statute.

RPD Commander Shari Francois, who oversees all

investigations for RPD, expressed her appreciation for the officers and King County prosecution team who worked this case to completion.

“There were so many actions by this one criminal that impacted numerous Redmond victims and other Eastside communities; it took perseverance and extreme attention to detail to link the multiple cases. Taking a prolific car prowler off the streets takes time and we appreciate King County prosecution’s commitment to this case,” she said.

ton. The eCity Awards recognize the strongest online business community in each state - the digital capitals of America. These cities’ businesses are embracing the web to find new customers, connect with existing clients and fuel their local economies.

“We’re proud to recognize this growing entrepreneur-

ial-spirit—and the role that it plays in both creating jobs and sustaining local economies,” said Darcy Nothnagle, Google’s Head of External Affairs in the Northwest. “With 97-percent of Internet-users looking for products and services online, it’s clear that success is about being connected.”

The award was presented

by Nothnagle at the Jan. 5 City Council meeting.

“Kirkland is fortunate to be the community of choice for tech savvy businesses who are making good use of online marketing to grow,” Walen said. “Just as

significant is the presence of Google Kirkland, which continues to provide the tools that help our businesses to prosper.”

Google worked with an independent research firm IPSOS to analyze the online strength of local small businesses in cities in all fifty states, and Google and Kirkland are among the ranks of America’s leading cities in the digital economy.

Kirkland businesses already know that Americans are turning to the Internet to look for local goods and services. Businesses need to be where their custom-

ers are, and that’s online. 4 in 5 consumers use search engines to find information about local businesses, but less than half of U.S. small businesses have a website and only 37 percent have claimed or updated their business information on a search engine. Complete business information helps generate economic value to individual communities. In small communities, this could be worth up to $300,000+ a year.

The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission invites residents to a continued conversation regarding future art on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). The meeting will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 20 at the Kirkland Justice Center in the Totem Lake Room.

The bond, which might be sent to voters on the April ballot, will fund three new schools and repair some of the oldest facilities in operation.

The school board is expected to vote on the measure at the Jan. 25 meeting. In the meantime, the public can comment on the draft funding model via a district survey, available online through today.

If the bond measure passed, the 2015 tax rate would not increase, Reith

said.

The 2016 bond would be followed by subsequent measures in 2018, 2022 and 2026. The 2016 bond would fund the most immediate needs, while the others would focus on long-term needs, according to district documents.

Among other things, the 2016 bond would fund two new elementary schools and a new middle school to be placed in Redmond; it would upgrade the Old Redmond Schoolhouse

Community Center to include a preschool; and it would replace portables at Explorer Elementary School in Redmond.

In Sammamish, the bond would fund remodeling or replacing and enlarging Margaret Mead Elementary School.

In Kirkland, the bond would fund remodeling or replacing and enlarging Juanita High School and Peter Kirk Elementary School.

The Justice Center is located at 11740 Northeast 118th Street in Kirkland.

Guy Michaelsen, principal of the Berger Partnership, and the consultant tasked with developing a plan to integrate art on the corridor, will lead the conversation. Registration is appreciated and can be found at artontheckc. eventbrite.com.

In 2012, the city of Kirkland purchased a 5.75 mile segment of the 42-mile Eastside Rail Corridor, naming it the Cross Kirkland Corridor. A Master Plan process for the development of the CKC was launched in 2013 and the Kirkland City

Council adopted the Master Plan in 2014. The Master Plan established goals for the CKC, including: Connect Kirkland, foster a greener Kirkland, shape a place unique to Kirkland and activate Kirkland and evolve over time. Building from these goals, the Cultural Arts Commission is leading efforts to develop plans for how art, in a variety of forms, including performance, interactive, temporary and permanent, can be incorporated in the Corridor experience.

Additional ideas and input can be directed to arts@ kirklandwa.gov.
