ART AS A FORM OF DIARY

By Laura Marie Rivera

Contributing Writer

Steven Reddy is an eclectic artist that makes his way through life one drawing at a time. And he wants to share what took him a lifetime to figure out, “I wish people knew that it was possible ... to make a life as an artist.”

Reddy has been drawing for as long as he can remember and considers art as his first language. He said he has always drawn ever since his mom gave him crayons and paper to keep him busy. He had many different jobs throughout his life but his art was always there. "I loved drawing so much that I never gave it up," he said and eventually it became his career.

Although Reddy grew up in the Puyallup/ Tacoma area, he describes his high school years in Alaska as, “the best thing that ever happened to me.” When an upperclassman shared their journal, which was a sketchbook filled with drawings and artifacts, Reddy instantly knew that would be his thing. He now has over 100 sketchbooks and

considers his art as a form of diary. “All my work is autobiographical.”

During the pandemic, he adopted a beautiful dog named Willa and quickly realized that he’d need a home with a yard. Reddy and Willa set out to find a comfortable home in a nice

neighborhood that they could explore. They landed in Queen Anne and the rest is an artistic history. Reddy has found endless material for his distinctive pen and ink drawings.

“I love that Queen Anne is walkable. And so beautiful,” he said. Reddy prefers

the Craftsman style over the modern designs that he finds boring. “I like clutter, density, details packed in. Manmade intricate scenes are my favorite to draw.”

Some of these locally inspired works will be on

First measles case of 2025 in Washington state identified in a King County infant

Seattle & King County Public Health

Public Health – Seattle & King County was notified Feb. 26, of a confirmed measles case in a King County infant. The infant may have been exposed to measles during recent travel abroad. Exposed individuals should check to make sure they have been vaccinated against measles.

“Measles is easily spread from person to person. If one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected,” said Dr. Eric Chow, Communicable Disease Chief for Public Health – Seattle & King County. “We are seeing increases in measles cases within and outside the US. Talk to your doctor about checking your vaccination status and get vaccinated now if you aren’t already protected.”

Fortunately, the measles vaccine is very effective. Two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine provides about 97% protection against getting infected by measles and that protection lasts a lifetime.

In 2024, there were three cases of measles in King County. Herd immunity, which helps prevent rapid spread of diseases among a large population, requires about 95% of people to be vaccinated against measles because it is so infectious. We are likely to see more frequent and larger outbreaks when vaccination rates are lower than that.

An estimated 87% of 2-year-olds in King County are up to date on the MMR vaccine (having received one dose of the MMR vaccine).

An estimated 72% of 4–6-year-olds in King County have received 2 doses of the MMR vaccine.

Infants and children under 5 years old are at risk of severe disease from measles, and receiving one dose of MMR can provide crucial protection from complications. Children are eligible for a second dose of MMR at 4 years old and parents should be encouraged to get the second dose as soon as possible instead of waiting until the child is enrolled in school.

Locations of potential exposure to the public

Spread of measles can occur before people know they have the disease, before any rash appears.

The infant was at the following public locations before being diagnosed with measles. These times include the period when the individual was at the location and two hours after. All three medical facilitates listed below are notifying patients and families who may have been exposed, providing information about the exposure date and disease symptoms to watch for.

Measles virus can remain in the air for up to two hours after someone contagious with measles leaves the area. Anyone who was at the following locations during the times listed could have been exposed to measles:

■ Feb. 20 from 6-9 p.m. at Apple Store at Bellevue Square, 213 Bellevue Square, Bellevue, WA.

■ Feb. 21 and Feb. 22 from 10:30 p.m. to 2: 15 a.m. at Seattle Children’s Hospital Emergency Department, 4800 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105

■ Feb. 24 from 1-4 p.m. at Allegro Pediatrics – Bothell, 11724 NE 195th St, Ste 100, Bothell, WA 98011

■ Feb. 25 from 1-4 p.m. at Northwest Asthma & Allergy Center, 8301 161st Ave NE, Ste 308, Redmond, WA 98052

■ Feb. 25 from 2:30-5:30 p.m. at Seattle Children’s Hospital Emergency Department, 4800 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105

■ What to do if you were in a location of potential measles exposure

■ Most people in our area have immunity to measles through vaccination, so the risk to the general public is low. However, anyone who was in the locations of

Savvy Senior: Is a reverse mortgage a good idea?

Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about reverse mortgages? When my husband passed away last year my income dropped almost in half, and I’ve been struggling to keep up with my monthly living expenses.

Senior Homeowner

Dear Senior, For retirees who own their home and want to stay living there, but could use some extra cash, a reverse mortgage is a viable financial tool, but there’s a lot to know and consider to be sure it’s a good option for you.

Let’s start with the basics. A reverse mortgage is a unique type of loan that allows older homeowners to borrow money against the equity in their house (or condo) that doesn’t have to be repaid until the homeowner dies, sells the house or moves out for at least 12 months. At that point, you or your heirs will have to pay back the loan plus accrued interest and fees (usually by selling the home), but you will never owe more than the value of your home.

It’s also important to understand that with a reverse mortgage, you, not the bank, own the house, so you’re still required to pay your property taxes, homeowners’ insurance and upkeep. Not paying them can result in foreclosure.

To be eligible, you must be 62 years of age or older, have at least 50 percent equity in your home, and currently be living there.

You will also need to undergo a financial assessment to determine whether you can afford to continue paying your property taxes and insurance. Depending on your financial situation, you may be required to put part of your loan into an escrow account to pay future bills. If the financial assessment finds that you cannot pay your insurance and taxes and have enough cash left to live on, you’ll be denied.

LOAN DETAILS

More than 90 percent of all reverse mortgages offered are Home Equity Conversion Mortgages (HECM), which are FHA insured and offered through private mortgage lenders and banks. HECM’s have home value limits that vary by county but cannot exceed $1,209,750 in 2025.

How much you can actually get through a reverse mortgage depends on your age (the older you are the more you can get), your home’s value and the prevailing interest rates. Generally, most people can borrow somewhere between 40 and 60 percent of the home’s value. To estimate how much you can borrow, use the reverse mortgage calculator at ReverseMortgage.org.

To receive your money, you can opt for a lump sum, a line of credit, regular monthly checks or a combination of these.

But be aware the reverse mortgages aren’t cheap. You’ll have to pay an origination fee, which is the greater of $2,500 or 2 percent of the first $200,000 of your home’s value plus 1 percent of the amount over $200,000. HECM

origination fees are capped at $6,000.

You’ll also be charged an initial mortgage insurance premium, which is 2 percent of the loan amount, along with closing costs that will likely run several thousand dollars. Any amount you borrow, including these fees and insurance, accrues interest, which means your debt grows over time.

To learn more, see the National Council on Aging’s online booklet “Use Your Home to Stay at Home” at NCOA.org/article/ use-your-home-to-stay-at-home. Also be aware that because reverse mortgages are complex loans, all borrowers are required to get counseling through a HUD approved independent counseling agency before taking one out. Most agencies charge between $125 and $200. To locate one near you, visit Go.usa.gov/v2H, or call 800-569-4287.

OTHER OPTIONS

If a reverse mortgage doesn’t suit you, you could also tap your home equity by getting a regular home equity loan or line of credit. This type of borrowing requires you to make payments, and lenders can freeze or lower limits on lines of credit, but the borrowing costs are much lower. Or you could also sell your home and move somewhere cheaper.

Levy helps to fund Seattle Public Library's massive e-circulation collection

By Spencer Pauley The Center Square

Tax dollars helped the Seattle Public Library garner more books, e-books and audio books last year, making it one of the largest such collections in the nation.

In August 2019, Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved a

seven-year, $219.1 million property tax levy to maintain and enhance Library services from 2020 through 2026. That vote renewed the seven-year levy approved in 2012.

Generated revenue specifically funds collections, children's programs, technology and online services, and building maintenance.

The levy rate was originally proposed at 12 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, but changes throughout its seven-year span to collect the set amount of $219.1 million. The average Seattle homeowner pays approximately $8 a year toward the levy.

Ferguson details proposed budget savings of nearly $4B to address shortfall

By Carleen Johnson

The Center Square

Gov. Bob Ferguson unveiled his plan for nearly $4 billion in cuts as lawmakers in the Washington State Legislature grapple with a projected four-year operating budget shortfall.

Just after taking office last month, Ferguson asked most agencies to find 6% in spending cuts.

At a Thursday press conference, Ferguson said he has been told the projected shortfallover the next four years is about $15 billion dollars, much larger than the $6.7 billion figure Republican budget leaders say they have been given by nonpartisan staff to the Legislature.

“These are not, of course, final decisions,” the governor said. “These are proposals that we are making to the Legislature for their consideration.”

Ferguson detailed potential savings totaling $3.93 billion. The full list of Ferguson’s current proposals is available here for the supplemental budget, and here for the 2025-27 biennium.

“These savings are in addition to Gov. Inslee’s proposal which reduced the shortfall by an additional $3 billion,” the governor continued. “Together, these proposals reduce the projected $15 billion budget shortfall by $7 billion.”

Ferguson said the savings were achieved without cutting anything from public safety or K-12 education funding.

Earlier this week, Republicans suggested that the $4 billion in raises being given to state employees should be reexamined given the budget situation.

Ferguson said those raises would be honored, but he proposed monthly furlough days for state employees to cut costs.

The governor said his office carefully examined programs that have been

adopted in recent years but have not yet been implemented.

“If the Legislature knew two years ago that we’d be facing a $15 billion shortfall, I’m confident some of those investments would not have happened," Ferguson said.

Nonrecurring funding that came in during the COVID-19 pandemic has dried up, the governor pointed out.

“These one-time dollars are essentially gone, and in some cases, the state has backfilled those onetime dollars with ongoing general fund resources,” Ferguson explained. “I took a very close look at whether the state could take on those obligations for those federal dollars that were meant as a one-time investment during COVID.”

According to the governor, several state agencies identified savings.

“The Forest Practices Board has $1.1 million for rulemaking,” Ferguson said. “It actually doesn’t need to do rulemaking at the moment, so we’re moving that back to the general fund.”

Other agencies identified savings as well.

“The Department of Ecology and State Parks are saving taxpayers $2.4 million over four years by consolidating office space and sharing office space,” Ferguson said.

Asked by a reporter if he supports potential tax increase proposals being pushed by majority party Democrats, Ferguson, a Democrat, said it is too soon to say. The process of finding further savings is ongoing, he said, even as lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in both chambers craft budgets.

Democrats have promoted a wealth tax, higher estate taxes, increases in the B&O tax, and a tax on guns and ammo, among several other revenue-generating proposals.

Ferguson did say he is

display at an upcoming solo art show at All City Coffee in Georgetown, 1205 S Vale St. The new show just opened and will be featured in the Georgetown Art Attack, the local art walk that occurs on the second Saturday of each month. Reddy is donating half of the proceeds to the ACLU in an effort to make a difference in today’s political climate. There are more than 20 large works in the show, including acrylic and oil paintings of local houses, everyday items, and of course Willa the dog. Willa is also the star of Reddy’s recent book Walks With Willa, which he considers a love story. He describes it as an intimate memoir documenting a year of social distancing with his best friend. Queen Anne residents may recognize some homes that they know in the book. And will definitely know some of the sites on Queen Anne Avenue, the bustle of Interbay and natural beauty surrounding the neighborhood. Other books include Now Where Was I? and About

not likely to support a proposal from Democrats to tap the state’s reserve funds to help reduce the shortfall.

“Especially in light of what may be coming from the federal government, to preserve our reserves is going to be important,” Ferguson said, noting that protecting reserves is also important for the state’s credit rating. “We’ll be having those conversations with the Legislature, but I think it’s important to protect that.”

Sen. Chris Gildon, RPuyallup, budget leader for Senate Republicans, found some common ground with Ferguson.

“The governor has vowed to come up with spending reductions, and I appreciate that he has delivered these savings ideas less than halfway into our session,” he said in a news release. “This allows budget writers to consider them while there is still time. Notably, this is a full month sooner than the former governor managed when he first took office.”

Sen. June Robinson, DEverett, chair of the Senate Ways & Means Committee, said that Ferguson’s budget savings plan isn’t enough to rule out higher taxes in dealing with the budget shortfall

“We appreciate the work the governor and state agencies have done to reach this point,” she said in a news release. “Like them, we recognize that budget reductions are necessary and will carefully consider all the options that have been identified. But we have also reached the conclusion that reductions alone will not allow us to sustain the services Washingtonians rely on. People expect a government that remains functional and responsive, especially in times of federal instability.”

Lawmakers must “consider progressive revenue options that ensure fairness and long-term stability.”

Levy helps to fund Seattle Public Library's massive e-circulation collection

By Spencer Pauley

The Center Square

Tax dollars helped the Seattle Public Library garner more books, e-books and audio books last year, making it one of the largest such collections in the nation.

In August 2019, Seattle voters overwhelmingly approved a seven-year, $219.1 million property tax levy to maintain and enhance Library services from 2020 through 2026. That vote renewed the seven-year levy approved in 2012.

Generated revenue specifically funds collections, children's programs, technology and online services, and building maintenance.

Seattle Chief Librarian Tom Fay provided the Seattle Libraries, Education, and Neighborhoods Committee with an update Thursday on the levy’s impact.

According to Fay, the levy provided $50.3 million, or 36.4%, of the library’s 2024 budget. The city’s general fund provides $87.7 million, or 63.4%, of the total $138.4 million dedicated to the library system.

Over 40% of the levy

HEALTH

From page 1

funds hours of service, nearly 20% funds collections, about 17% goes toward building maintenance, and 9% to 10% goes to technology.

The levy also funds 25% of all staffing positions within the library.

The Seattle Public Library now has one of the largest e-circulation libraries in the world. Since 2019, e-book and audio book checkouts have grown by 160% from 3.4 million in 2019 to 5.4 million in 2024.

Fay has high hopes for the library to continue expanding its digital collection, but notes that would require more money.

“I really want us to have the largest e-book and e-audio collection in the country, if not the world,” Fay said during the committee meeting. “It will require considerable funding.”

The library also added over 168,000 items to its physical collection in 2024. Fay believes the library is “probably close” to being at maximum levels of physical books.

In total, the library’s digital and physical collection now contains 2.9 million items, according to Fay.

Last year, the library was able to reopen its Green Lake branch after a seismic retrofit and remodel to improve building safety. This project was 65% funded by levy funds.

However, maintenance of

potential exposure to measles around the times listed should:

■ Find out if you have been vaccinated for measles or have had measles previously. Make sure you are up to date with the recommended number of measles (MMR) vaccinations.

■ Call a healthcare provider promptly if you develop an illness with fever or with an unexplained rash. To avoid possibly spreading measles to others, do not go to a clinic or hospital without calling first to tell them you want to be checked for measles after an exposure. It is also important to limit contact with others, especially those without known immunity, and to wear a well-fitting mask if you do need to go to a healthcare facility.

If you were at the locations at the times listed above and are not immune to measles, the most likely time you would become sick would be before March 18. People with weakened immune systems may take longer to experience symptoms.

About measles

Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. If one person has it, up to 9 out of 10 people nearby will become infected if they are not protected. It mainly spreads through the air after a person with measles coughs or sneezes.

Measles symptoms begin 7 to 21 days after exposure. Measles is contagious from about 4 days before the rash appears through

the library network will continue to be a need through 2045.

“Over the next 20 years, we anticipate somewhere between $100 million to $150 million of basic building maintenance needs to occur,” Fay said. The estimated cost does not include major improvements such as seismic retrofit projects.

In May 2024, the Seattle Public Library was hit by a cyber attack that impacted its website, Wi-Fi, online catalog and loaning system. It took several months for services to return for users of the library.

Fay reported to the committee that the library has since improved its cybersecurity by moving systems to the cloud, implementing multi-factor authentication, and hiring a new cybersecurity analyst.

Two levy-funded technology initiatives are set to progress more in 2025: a new library app and a replacement of the integrated library system.

The integrated library system helps manage books, checkouts and patron accounts.

“Our current system is outdated by a great number of years and limits what we can do for our patron experience,” Fay said. The first phase of the new system is expected to be completed around mid-2026.

4 days after the rash appears. People can spread measles before they have the characteristic measles rash.

Measles can lead to ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, and rarely, encephalitis (brain inflammation) or death.

Complications from measles can happen even in healthy people, but those at highest risk include: infants and children under 5 years, adults over 20 years, pregnant people, and people with weakened immune systems from medications or underlying disease.

If you are in one of these high-risk groups and were exposed to measles at one of these locations, be sure to contact your health care provider to discuss any steps you need to take to protect yourself or loved ones against complications from measles.

Measles is preventable with the safe and highly effective measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles and that protection is long lasting.

Seattle zoning change bill advances to final vote; opponents threaten legal action

By Spencer Pauley The Center Square

Proposed legislation that would transform the industrial area near Seattle’s professional sports venues received a do-pass recommendation, but opponents of the bill are threatening legal action.

Council Bill 120933 would amend the city’s land use code to allow for workforce housing in the Stadium Transition Area Overlay District, which encompasses Lumen Field and T-Mobile Park.

The district was established with the intention to provide a safe pedestrian environment for people attending events, while minimizing conflicts with industrial uses that occur in the SODO neighborhood.

In 2023, the Stadium Transition Area Overlay District was rezoned to an urban industrial zone, but unlike other urban industrial zones, most residential uses were prohibited within the district.

According to a fiscal note, the intent of the bill is to create a livelier Stadium District by allowing residential uses that serve a mix of incomes.

Council Bill 120933 received a 3 to 2 vote from the Seattle Governance, Accountability, and Economic Development Committee on Thursday with City Councilmembers Joy Hollingsworth and Bob Kettle voting against the bill.

During the public comment period of the committee meeting, Port of Seattle Commission Chief of Staff Aaron Pritchard delivered the port’s letter to the council containing legal objections to the legislation.

The port previously told city council members

that the proposed zoning change would compromise its ability to compete for cargo market share, as well as safety for any residents near the industrial area.

Seattle City Council Chair Sara Nelson, the sponsor of the bill, called the port’s legal threats “short-sighted” in a press release, adding that the bill builds more housing for port workers

“Personally, I view [the legal threats] as a last ditch effort to intimidate this committee from taking a vote today and their tactics of meddling in the legislative process of a separate jurisdiction are unfortunate given the workforce housing, manufacturing jobs and improved public safety at stake,” Nelson said during the committee meeting.

Kettle pointed to Seattle’s liquefaction map, which shows where ground is the most unstable. Liquefaction occurs when loose, saturated soils lose their strength due to strong ground shaking from earthquakes.

A large portion of the SODO neighborhood and by the stadiums has unstable ground, according to the map. Kettle compared the proposed construction of housing on unstable land to New Orleans allowing buildings to be established near water. Those homes were destroyed during the Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

“We don’t want 20 years [from now] if this earthquake and tsunami hit and look back and say ‘what were they thinking in 2025,’” Kettle said. “Our city needs to embrace our status as a major port city.”

The legislation is expected to be voted on by the full Seattle City Council sometime next month.

ORCA announces updated Regional Day Pass Fare to improve transit affordability

ORCA is making the Regional Day Pass fare permanent, creating more affordable and accessible transit for riders across the region. This price change, approved by the ORCA Joint Board, saves money and enhances convenience for customers who use multiple transit services in a single day.

Effective March 1, the new ORCA Regional Day Pass will be available for just $6 for adult riders, and $2 for ORCA LIFT and RRFP senior and disabled cardholders, providing unlimited rides on participating transit services for one day for the cost of just two trips. This fare adjustment, first introduced in 2024 as a promotional pilot, ensures that riders can travel seamlessly throughout the Puget

Sound area all day long while enjoying significant cost savings.

“The new ORCA Day Pass gives you the freedom to travel anywhere, all day long, for six dollars,” said Christina O’Claire, the ORCA Joint Board Chairperson and Director of King County Metro’s Mobility Division. “The ORCA Day Pass also makes it easier than ever to seamlessly connect across transit modes — like buses, light rail and on-demand services — and between transit agencies. For riders who have disabilities, have lower incomes or are seniors, the price is even lower: just two dollars a day to connect to unlimited opportunities.”

This cost reduction also aligns with the reduction in fares for Sound Transit Express Bus service, now $3 per trip, and Community

Transit’s reduced fare, now $1.

The new price reduction to the ORCA Regional Day Pass comes after a promotional period that launched last August 2024. The ORCA Day pass is accepted on most transit services, including buses and trains, throughout the region**. Riders can purchase the pass online at myORCA.com, through the myORCA mobile app, at ORCA vending machines, or from the Google Wallet for ORCA digital card users.
