Kirkland fights for completion of state highway project in Totem Lake BY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

The state House has included $75 million in its transporta-

tion budget for a project to build freeway access ramps at Northeast 132nd Street in the Totem Lake neighborhood of Kirkland. � e House bill will have

to be reconciled with the Senate version, however, which does not include the allocation.

� e Washington State Department of Transporta-tion (WSDOT) project, ap-proved by the state in 2005, but postponed and moved to the unfunded list, is considered by both the city and businesses in Totem

Lake as a vital update to Kirkland infrastructure in anticipation of the Totem Lake Malls redevelop-ment project, among others. According to the city, the soon-to-be new owner of the malls, CenterCal Properties, now calling

the project � e Village at Totem Lake, hopes to have it open by late 2017 or early 2018. � e proposed

project, if included in the � nal version of

the transportation package, would start no sooner than 2019.

If the project is not included in

this year’s transporta-tion package, however, the

city could have to wait until

2025 before trying to get it funded again. By then, City Manager Kurt Triplett said, they will be facing tra� c problems caused by new developments.

“It’s not just a 2025 issue,” he said. “It’s a 2018 issue.”

� e city has actively lobbied local legislators rep-resenting the 45th District, as well as other state legislators, to support the project, claim-ing conservatively it will bring in $140 million in state

tax revenue compared to the current $46 million.

“From an investment point, this is a no brainer,” he said.

One of the di� culties they’ve faced in getting it into the budget, Triplett said, is the impression that the proj-ect is a new proposal rather than le� over from previous legislative sessions.

“� is is not a project we made up,” he said.

Bellevue-based Continen-tal Properties has purchased the Antique Mall property in downtown Kirkland, which has sat dormant for six years since the mall owner closed its doors.

� e property at 113 3rd Street, owned by Marilyn Dillard, sold for $12 million and was � rst put up for sale late last year by commer-cial real estate company Kidder Mathews. Sitting in the heart of downtown Kirkland, the property is

located two blocks from the waterfront, adjacent to the Heathman Hotel and next to the Kirkland Transit Center. � e site was formerly oc-cupied by the Antique Mall, which closed in 2009 a� er being the centerpiece for the downtown area for a quarter of a century. � e Antique Mall opened in 1983 under co-owner Marietta Van Patten.

� e property is 41,994 square feet. As much as 9,261 square feet is unoccu-pied. � e property is zoned for the Central Business

District and includes a 55-foot height limit.

� is is not Continental Properties � rst purchase or project in the city. In addi-tion to the Central Kirkland Condominiums, they are currently constructing a residential building at 4th Avenue and Central Way.

Now that the purchase is complete, Continental has submitted an application to meet with city sta� as they move forward with plans for redevelopment, accord-ing to City Planner Jeremy McMahan. Before they get

a building permit, they will need to have their plans ap-proved by the design review board.

Ellen Miller Wolfe, the economic development director for the city of Kirk-land, called the property “pivotal” due to its proxim-ity to the transit center.

“We’re happy that the property has now been purchased,” she said. “We’re happy for the owner who has been thinking about this for a long time and is a won-derful friend to the city.”

As the city of Kirkland continues to look for po-tential sites for the Aquatics Recreation Community (ARC) Center, it is also seeking out possible part-nerships to help pay for it.

At a recent joint meeting between the Kirkland and Redmond City Councils, members discussed the possibility of creating a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) that would � nance and manage new facilities both cities are looking to build.

Yet, while the city of Kirkland plans to discuss the matter further, Mayor Amy Walen said she is doubtful an MPD with Redmond is feasible due to di� erent stages of planning, as well as siting location preferences. Redmond, which started working on their Recreational Building Master Plan in 2013, has yet to complete it. � ey also have expressed a preference for their recreation center to be in their downtown, where they are currently conducting a site analysis. Kirkland, on the other hand, completed their In-door Recreation Facility Plan in 2011 and hopes to place the ARC somewhere in the Totem Lake neigh-

borhood. One potential site is the Christ’s Church at 11725 NE 118th St, across from the Kirkland Justice Center. � e owners have expressed interest in pos-sibly selling the property, according to Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett.

In the meantime, Kirkland is also looking at other cities to partner with, as well as local school districts, which for some seems appropriate due to the regional use of current Kirkland recreation facili-ties, such as Juanita Pool. � e council has a planned joint meeting with the city of Bellevue in May, accord-ing to Triplett, and they’ve also had informal conversa-tions with other neighbor-ing cities.

“We continue to actively solicit as many partners as possible,” he said. “We are de� nitely wanting to see partners, but we’re continu-ing forward to keep the conversation going.”

Other possible partners include the Lake Wash-ington and Northshore School Districts. LSWD was originally planned to be a signi� cant partner with the city on the ARC, according to Triplett, but their � nancial involvement was sti� ed when their $755

million bond measure failed last year. Nevertheless, they still may be able to contrib-ute to funding aspects of the ARC, such as the swimming pool. The city is planning on 32-meter pool in the current estimate, but have kept the option for a 50-meter pool, which would cost an addi-tional $3 million. The overall facility is estimated to cost between $48-67 million.

“One of the things we’ve said to the school district is we haven’t decided (between a 32- or 50-meter pool) but

would be more likely if the school districts said we’d be able to come up with the dif-ference, because they’d be the prime beneficiary,” Triplett said. “It’s not clear we would actually do that.”

For LWSD, even $3 mil-lion may be a bridge too far for them to cross financially, as they have been strug-gling to make do with their current budget by rezon-ing school boundaries and repurposing modernization funds.

Additionally, some consider a partnership in

the form of an MPD is also a pragmatic approach to the situation. An MPD is run by a board of park commis-sioners and funded through a property tax, authorized to levy up to 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. As of 2015, there are about 17 MPD in the state.

Kirkland City Coun-cilmember Penny Sweet remarked during the joint meeting that a MPD can meet multiple needs for various cities on the Eastside while alleviating the financial burden if all pitched in.

“Each one of us is going to struggle with funding on our own,” she said. “We all live on lakes and we all have responsibilities to teach our kids to swim. I think it’s an important element of grow-ing up.”

Acquiring funding and finding a good location have been among the top challenges the city has faced with the ARC. When the city looked into siting the ARC at Juanita Beach Park, the idea was met with criticism from Juanita neighborhood resi-dents, including the neigh-borhood association. Finally, the Parks Board voted to recommend the council drop Juanita Beach Park, as well as the North Kirkland

Community Center, from consideration. Days after the parks board vote, a petition was sent to the city with 600 signatures against siting the ARC in Juanita Beach Park.

The council accepted the parks board’s recommenda-tion for Juanita Beach Park at their March 17 study session, though a formal vote via a resolution is planned at its April 21 meeting.

If city finds a partner for an MPD, other challenges may arise, such as how the levy structure would be set up in correlation with the recreation facility’s location, a challenge mentioned by Redmond City Council-member Tom Flynn at the joint meeting. He said a levy

would need to be structured so that some residents don’t feel as though they’re paying the same for less access to the facility compared to resi-dents in other cities within the MPD.

Whatever the city decides to do, some hope they take action in the near future.

At the joint meeting with Redmond, Councilmember Dave Asher stated there was a lot of energy behind the ARC in the community, and the sooner they take action to harness that energy, the better.

“I can just tell you from the Kirkland point of view, there’s energy here now to look at it if we could get something moving,” he said.

As Triplett and other city officials see it, the project is necessary to relieve traffic congestion, in part due to growth Kirkland has absorbed under the Growth Management Act. Under the GMA, urban centers such as Totem Lake are given higher priority for infrastructure investments. The city also nearly doubled in size in 2011 when it an-nexed the Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate neighborhoods, which was made possible by sales tax credits that are set to expire in 2021.

Councilmember Dave Asher said that the city needs more support if it is

to continue absorbing more growth at the state’s behest.

“You can’t have it both ways,” he said.

The city has spent $50 million in the last four years in the Totem Lake neighborhood, according to Triplett, and millions more will be spent under the current draft of their transportation master plan. Additionally, their rede-velopment agreement with the property owners for the Totem Lake Malls promises $15 million in public in-frastructure improvements under certain stipulations, along with up to $10 mil-lion in Totem Lake Park.

In a March 10 letter to State Rep. Judy Clibborn

and Ed Orcutt, chair and co-chair respectively of the House Transporta-tion Committee, Mayor Amy Walen wrote that it was “more imperative than ever” that the project finally get off the ground, as the city anticipates the neighborhood adding up to 20,000 jobs and 4,000 hous-ing units.

“The growth of the Totem Lake Urban Center will be stymied if it is choked with congestion and gridlock,” she wrote. “Kirkland needs the Northeast 132nd Street ramps to help gain con-currency capacity to fully realize the zoning potential unlocked by the new mall. You can help us with this.”

Also lobbying legislators are Totem Lake business owners, such as Ever-greenHealth. In an email to State Rep. Joan McBride and Luis Moscoso, Chief Executive Officer Robert H. Malte stressed the impor-tance of maintaining good traffic conditions around the hospital.

“As the area grows with the redevelopment, it is vital that we protect throughput to the main hospital campus,” he wrote. “Those ramps have a criti-

cal impact to the economic growth of the Totem Lake Area in Kirkland and also serve to safeguard access to the hospital and emer-gency services. Patients and their families face chal-lenges everyday with their medical conditions, but one challenge we want to alleviate is traffic conges-tion. The Northeast 132nd Street ramps provide the necessary infrastructure to help the Totem Lake Area flourish and support our patients in their travels to

our facility.”Concerns over traffic

congestion have also been expressed by Lake Wash-ington Institute of Technol-ogy President Amy Mor-rison Goings, who stated in a letter to the city that the Village at Totem Lake “will only add to the difficult traffic issues in this area and negatively affect LWTech students and staff and the other residents in the area unless the Northeast 132nd Street ramps from I-405 are advanced.”

Kirkland Police detec-tives, North Sound Metro SWAT and Bellevue SWAT teams served several search warrants simultaneously at 6 a.m. on April 9 at an apartment complex in Bel-levue in connection with Eastside identity thefts.

“The Kirkland Police Department would also like to remind citizens to shred personal and financial documents that contain in-formation about your iden-tity and finances once these documents are no longer necessary,” said Det. Mike Murray with the Kirkland Police Department. “We would also like to thank Bellevue PD Command and SWAT Team and the North Sound Metro SWAT Team for their assistance and professionalism today.”

Several subjects were de-tained while the apartments were searched and secured

by the SWAT teams. Three suspects were arrested pur-suant to the warrants and transported to the city of Kirkland Justice Center Jail.

The search warrants stemmed from numerous commercial burglaries of storage facilities in Kirk-land. Personal and financial information was included in the items that were taken from these storage units.

The suspects were then able to use the stolen information to create stolen identities and illegal credit

cards. These suspects have made numerous purchases with this stolen infor-mation in cities on the Eastside. Kirkland Police detectives are still gathering evidence.

The North Sound Metro SWAT Team includes Kirkland, Bothell, Mon-roe, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Mill Creek and Lake Forest Park Police Departments.

No citizens, officers, pets or suspects were injured during this incident.

Arguments against bag ban have veered into the hysterical

I have read the letters criticizing the new plastic bag ban in Kirkland, and while I support the ban, I realize it will be a minor inconvenience for some people. But recently arguments against the ban have veered into the hysterical.

Bill Olmstead (in the April 3 issue of the Re-porter) raises the specter of reusable bag transmit-ted Ebola. If this is such a looming threat, perhaps we should ban the use of reusable bags altogether, and for that matter, shut down libraries (who knows what surfaces those books touch before you get them).

And Kevin C. Lewis (in the same issue) raises the concern of food-borne illness to consumers and grocery store workers from reusable bags, as well. He is right that some foods are contami-nated by bacteria that can cause illness, especially chicken. However, most food experts caution about illness caused by improper food handling at home, not contaminated surfaces at grocery stores. And small plastic bags will still be available for double bagging meats, even a� er the plastic bag ban takes e� ect.

I worked for several years in a grocery store in which the majority of patrons brought their own

bags. Occasionally I would run across a dirty one, but most people are pretty good about throwing their cloth bags in the washing machine or wiping out their plastic bags. If we are concerned about people making themselves ill with cross-contam-ination, we need only encourage people to wash bags more frequently, especially a� er purchasing meat. Reusable bags as a public health threat, in my view, is a huge red herring.

I do agree with Bill Olmstead that a lot of our food is packaged in plastic, much of which is not recyclable. But that doesn’t mean we should do nothing at all. A lot of waste occurs with one-time use plastic grocery bags, which o� en go in the trash because they require an extra step to recycle, which many people don’t do. � ere are at least many alternatives to those bags, whereas reducing plastic packaging and shi� ing to plastics that can be recycled, is a much more di� cult hurdle. � e less plastic we use the better. A plastic bag ban is a good � rst step.Laura Robinson, Kirkland

No additional property tax increases and CAP valuations

King County is asking for another increase in the levy on property taxes. In the past 20-plus years, I have supported increases in this levy to help schools, the library system and the multiple other

requests for various needs which were to improve the quality of life here in King County.

However, most of what I’ve noted is an enor-mous increase in the property taxes I must pay each year - which have currently reached astro-nomical rates as mega homes have been built into every cranny of the area and wealthy buyers have � ocked in making purchases.

Valuation rates for property is at an all-time high resulting in enormous property tax bills for property owners, yet King County is back asking for more.

When will this stop? Not only do we not need an additional increase in the levy, we need to cap valuations which - at the current increases - will drive those of us who are retired and living on � xed incomes out.

� ere is something inherently unjust in a system that currently places a valuation of over eight times the original cost on a property, then charges a levy against that new evaluation, resulting in enormous taxes - and then ask property owners to increase the levy for even more.

No! A thousand times, no! No additional prop-erty tax increases and CAP valuations. I encourage all my fellow property owners in King County to vote no on Proposition No. 1 and to join me in demanding a CAP on property valuations here in King County.Linda Bonin, Kirkland

Accountability is a big part of our govern-ment. Whether it is politicians keeping cam-paign promises or local agencies working

together, accountability and cooperation is needed in all aspects of democracy.

� e city of Kirkland and its residents have stepped up and been accountable to the State in recent years. State and King County o� cials asked many cities to annex unincorporated areas in order to relieve their � nancial burden. Kirkland engaged in one of the largest an-nexations in recent state history, nearly doubling the size of the city’s population from approxi-mately 48,000 to 83,000 residents in 2011.

� e city has also taken on the burden of in-creased street tra� c when 520 tolls were installed. It has disrupted many residents’ lives, at the bene� t of all other communities that don’t have the burden of an increased gas tax. A gas tax could have paid for the 520 bridge. Tolls have put the � nancial burden on those who use the road but the conges-tion impact has been felt by those who live around the bridge and the surrounding municipalities. As much as people in other areas want to deny it, King County is the economic engine of the state and they bene� t when our local infrastructure works well.

� e 520 tolls will also cost Kirkland residents with the added wear and tear on city streets like Northeast Juanita Drive and 100th Avenue North-east. � e city has had to install the Intelligent Tra� c Monitoring System to help optimize tra� c signals in an e� ort to keep that 520 over� ow moving. And now, the State will install tolls on 405 instead of al-ternatives that could have, again, spread the burden.

Kirkland has also stepped up by passing bonds and levies for projects within the city and not ask-

ing the state for money.Now it is time for the State to start keeping its

promises to Kirkland.In 2007, the state began work on a project to

improve access to I-405 in the Totem Lake area. We have seen the great work that was done on the � rst half of the project, the Northeast 116th Street and 405 southbound access ramps. But the project was also to include northbound access at Northeast 132nd Street. � e State went so far as to purchase the land for the ramps. However, the project was never completed thanks to politics.

� e Washington State House and Transportation Committee Chair Rep. Judy Clibborn (D-Mercer Island) took a big step toward keeping the State’s promise to Kirkland by including the ramps in the transportation bill at the last minute. � e Senate did not. Reconciling the bills to get something passed will not be easy, if history is any indication. As we all know, the State has to have a transportation bill this session and it needs to keep its promise to Kirkland.

� e ramps will cost $75 million. However, for the

State, the ramps will pay for themselves by helping to spur economic development in the Totem Lake neighborhood. We all know about the pending redevelopment of Totem Lake Malls. Other major pieces of property will follow with the help of improved infrastructure. � e city is already putting a lot of its own money into Totem Lake infrastruc-ture.

� e city estimates that a fully developed Totem Lake Urban Center would generate, at a minimum, of an additional $140 million per year in state revenue. For a state struggling to � nd revenue to pay for education, this seems like a no-brainer investment.

I hope that Sen. Rosemary McAuli� e, Sen. Andy Hill and Sen. Cyrus Habib will work hard to convince their colleagues in the Senate to follow the lead of the House and keep their promises to Kirkland. We have stepped up for the State time and time again, now it is their turn.

April is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Awareness

Month, designated by the National Health Observanc-es calendar. It is estimated that one in seven Americans su� er from IBS.

What is IBS?Irritable bowel

syndrome is de-� ned as a chronic and recurring condition of the digestive system commonly af-fecting the small intestine and large intestine. IBS is the most frequently diagnosed gastrointestinal condition. Roughly 10 to 20 percent of the population has IBS, but only 15 percent of them seek medical help. Symptoms are reported as being abdominal pain, altered bowel habits (such as alternating diarrhea and constipation), bloating, and gas.

Causes of IBS� e causes of IBS are still

not fully understood. IBS symptoms are thought to be due to a disturbance in digestive movement (aka colon motility) leading to either speeding up or slowing down of digestion, either of which can lead to IBS symptoms. � e key is to � nd what is causing the disturbance in diges-tion. Some possible causes of IBS include bacteria or viral infection, lifestyle and emotional factors, and food

allergies and intolerances. More research is coming out about the brain–gut con-nection in the development of IBS symptoms. However, stress and anxiety may not be the root cause, although they have been shown to contribute to symptoms.

� e link between IBS and food allergies and intoler-

ances has been known for some time. Common food allergies or intolerances known to a� ect digestion include dairy prod-ucts (milk, whey, cheese, yogurt),

wheat-based products and gluten grains (whole wheat

bread, barley, and spelt, to name a few), soy, corn, nuts and eggs. Food allergies and intolerances can lead to in-� ammation in the digestive tract, contributing to IBS symptoms.

The mother of five children, Bobbie moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1976 after her divorce and married the late Ronald C. Reed MD in 2002.

Bobbie worked as a legal secretary in Seattle and Bellevue before joining the Bureau of Education & Research, a job she loved for many years.

She was especially proud of returning to Stanford in 1988 to finally complete her degree and graduate on the same day with her two sons.

In addition to being a devoted mother and wife, Bobbie loved gardening, good food, socializing, and she was a passionate fan of the Seattle Seahawks and Mariners. Bobbie had a wonderful smile that could light up a room and her optimism touched everyone she knew.

She is survived by her sister, Susan Carter Ayrault of Kirkland, WA; three daughters, Kathryn Elizabeth Kelly of Incline Village, NV; Barbara Lynne Kelly of Index, WA; Malia Ann Kelly of Bainbridge Island, WA; and two sons, Paul Brendan Kelly III of Green Valley, CA; and John Alden Carter Kelly of Kirkland WA. She leaves behind an extended family including cherished cousins, nieces and nephews. She particularly adored her twelve grandchildren who brought her great joy.

Please direct any donations in memory of Bobbie Carter Reed to Punahou School – Advancement Office; 1601 Punahou Street, Honolulu, HI 96822.

Family and friends are welcome to attend a Memorial Service at 10am on Saturday April 18th, 2015, at St. John’s Episcopal

Two city-owned build-ings will be demolished to convert the property into a staging point for the planned renovations at City Hall, which is located just north of the property.

Facilities Services Man-ager Chris Dodd said the

demolition process will take around a week and a half. During that time, the house and duplex located at the corner of 2nd Street and 3rd Avenue will be torn down, and the debris cleared away and recycled.

The properties were originally purchased by the city as part of their plans to expand City Hall.

The expansion, however, did not occur, and with the police department al-ready moved into the new Kirkland Justice Center, there is adequate space in City Hall to move the Parks Department Admin-istrative Offices, currently located on Market Street, back into City Hall once renovations are finished. The Parks Department has been at that location since 2002.

“The current City Hall is cramped at best,” Dodd said. “It allows staff to have just better and more efficient working environ-ment.”

The city decided to demolish the buildings

rather than rent them when they determined it would be too costly to repair. The house, Dodd said, requires a new plumbing system, and the duplex suffers from water damage.

“It made sense in that the amount of money that was needed to repair those facilities was substantial,” he said. “And to be the least disruptive during construction, we needed a place to stage and park construction workers that didn’t impact the commu-nity around us.”

The City Hall renova-tion will include im-provements to the HVAC system, roof repairs and

maintenance projects. A centralized customer counter area and, in par-ticular, a new consolidat-ed Development Services Counter, will be created.

“The idea is to have key staff members come to you,” Dodd said. “So if you have a development question and you need a planner and engineer, then those people come to you instead of you migrating from counter to counter.”

The City Council Chamber, which Dodd said has not been reno-vated since 1985, will also see an upgrade in its visual and audio systems, in addition to flattening the floor and opening up

more space. Construction impacts to

the neighborhood should be minimal since most of the work will take place on the roof and within interior spaces, according to the city.

The renovation project is budgeted at $10 million, according to Dodd, and a general contract bid for the renovation work is expected to be put out sometime this summer.

While no long-term plans have been made for the south property, there has been discussion about turning it into a public parking lot in order to meet demand for parking in downtown.

Offsite buildings to be demolished for City Hall renovation

The retail marijuana store in Kirkland had an attempted break-in on

Monday, as someone used a sledgehammer to try and gain access to one of the city’s newest and most controversial businesses.

Security footage shows

a male suspect, wearing a ski mask and glasses, walking up to the front of the building at about midnight and then survey-ing the entrance for about four to five minutes. Using the destructive tool, the suspect then bashes away at the front doors as glass flies everywhere.

The sledgehammer man-aged to destroy the glass door but not the metal security door behind. The man then flees the scene on foot prior to police arriving

on scene.“Kirkland Police arrived

on the scene a few minutes after the suspect fled, responding to the secu-rity alarm,” said Higher Leaf owner Andy Honig in an email. “Police were provided with video foot-age of the incident and suspect.”

No other nearby busi-nesses were targeted or affected by the suspect.

The incident had no im-pact on business operations and Higher Leaf, located at 12525 Willows Rd NE, opened at its regularly scheduled time on Monday morning.

“Higher Leaf ’s isolated area increases its risk of theft,” Honig said. “Unfor-tunately, zoning severely limits the store’s potential locations.”

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirk-land Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.

He was arrested on an order violation and was later transported to Evergreen-Health Hospital when they discovered he had a blood alcohol level of .435.

April 6Protection order violation: 8:42 p.m., 11900 block of NE 112th St. A 32-year-old man was arrested after an officer stopped him while driving with a defective headlight.

The man was placed under arrest without incident and booked.

Theft: 3 p.m., 14400 block of 124th Ave NE. A 24-year-old woman was arrested after she was found stealing items from the Fred Meyer. She fled the scene and was arrested, booked, released and charged through investigation.

Assault: 9:50 p.m., 6100 block of 11th Pl NE. A 66-year-old man got drunk and urinated on the bathroom floor. He became angry

at his sister when she awoke him

and attacked her as their 86-year-old

mother called 911 and tried to separate them.

His sister was transported to the hospital and had a bruise

on her forehead where she was struck. The man was arrested and booked on assault charges.

Theft: 3:15 p.m., 6600 block of 132nd Ave NE. A 26-year-old woman was stopped at Bartell’s loss prevention after shoplifting a bottle warmer and bottle tops. She was arrested for theft, processed at the Kirkland Jail and then released.

Malicious mischief: 8:40 a.m., 700 block of 8th St. A 50-year-old and

43-year-old man were arrested after the 43-year-old was seen inside a Public Storage unit that didn’t belong to him while the 50-year-old was acting as a lookout.

While on a traffic stop, an officer was contacted by an employ-ee of Kirkland Heights, who informed him a 63-year-old homeless man was inside a coworker’s van without his permission.

Trespass: 4 a.m., 9700 block of NE Juanita Dr. An 18-year-old female, 19-year-old male and 17-year-old juvenile were arrested after they and two other people were found in Juanita Beach Park after closing hours.
