Kirkland City Council members, Hague file for re-electionBY MATT PHELPS

[email protected]

This week is the o� cial � ling period for those in Washington state

seeking political o� ce. � e Kirkland City Council has three seats up for grabs this year and all three incumbents have declared their intention to seek another term.

Councilwoman Shelly

Kloba was the � rst to for-mally announce her intention to run for re-election to Position 2 on April 23. Kloba has formally � led paperwork with the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC). She has already raised more than $7,000.

Kloba has rea� rmed her commitment to smart growth, responsible budget-ing and transportation solu-

tions that work for everyone, according to a release.

“My daughter will gradu-ate from high school in June, and that keeps me focused on the kind of community that we are leaving to the next generation,” Kloba said. “We must protect the quality of our air and water. We must maintain and enhance our infrastructure. We must also ensure that everyone,

including our young people and our senior citizens, can a� ord to live here. “

Kloba has served on the council since March 2013.

She chairs the Public Works, Parks and Hu-

man Services com-mittee, and serves on the City/School District Coordinat-

ing Committee. She has been an advocate for

the creation of a community aquatic and recreation center.

Kloba has lived with her husband Tony and daughter Kate in the Juanita area of Kirkland since 2001 and has served on the Kirkland Park Board, assisted on the Kirkland park levy commit-tee, volunteered for the Lake Washington School District Citizens’ Levy and Bond committee, and is a trustee of the Lake Washington Schools Foundation.

Scott Holm and his wife, Michelle, recently opened Chainline Brewery on the Cross Kirkland Corridor to serve walkers and bikers. The grand opening celebration saw 1,200 people come out and try the new Kirkland business’ microbrews. TJ MARTINELL, Kirkland Reporter

Chainline Brewing’s grand opening welcomes 1,200BY TJ MARTINELL

[email protected]

Kirkland residents Scott and Michelle Holm opened Chainline Brewing in the Everest neighbor-hood with a vision of combining two passions: beer and bikes. � ey also hoped that their location, overlooking the newly

created Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC), would draw a lot of tra� c from bicyclists and families.

� eir recent grand opening, which drew an estimated 1,200 people and consumed 10 barrels of beer, turned that vision into reality. Scott Holm said despite the large num-ber of people on the � rst

day, the parking lot was never full.

“So many people said they walked here,” he said. “To see it go down that way was pretty exciting.”

At the moment, the brewery serves four of their beers, such as Pale Ale, Red Amber and Indian Pale Ale, with plans to add four more.

As the only business to currently face the CKC, the Holms see the brewery not just as an intended destination but a commu-nity spot for people using the corridor, whether they’re heading back home from work or taking a daily stroll.

Kirkland schools closed May 6 as teachers and fac-ulty in the Lake Washing-ton School District (LWSD) participated in a walk-out in protest of the state legis-lature over basic education spending.

A� er waving signs at intersec-tions through-out Kirkland, members of the Lake Washington Education Asso-ciation (LWEA) marched from Heritage Park to Marina Park in downtown, culminating in a rally featur-ing teachers, students and parents from the district. � roughout the state, other teachers unions have also walked out or voted in favor of a walkout in response to the state legisla-ture’s failure to comply with the Supreme Court’s Mc-Cleary decision, in which Justice Debra Stephens ruled that the legislature had failed to ful� ll its para-mount duty under the con-stitution to “make ample

provision for the education of all children residing within its borders...”

Both the House and Sen-ate budget proposals would include $1.3-4 billion for K-12 education to address the McCleary decision.

For organizations like the LWEA, however,

neither bill would adequately fund the provisions under Initia-tive 1351, which narrowly passed by 50.96 percent in the November 2014 election. � e initiative requires the legislature to allocate funding toward reducing class sizes and increasing sta� ng

support for students in all K-12 grades. Both propos-als reduce the initiative down to K-3.

At the Marina Park rally, Rose Marie Buchanan, a parent with two students at Emily Dickinson Elemen-tary in Redmond, said on top of decreasing class sizes, teacher compensation needs to be increased.

“It’s time to fully fund our schools,” Buchanan

said. “I want them (teach-ers) to have a competitive professional wage. You cannot expect to attract and retain teachers with the status quo.”

The current average salary of a teacher in the LWSD in the 2012-2013 was $41,467.97, which does not include insur-ance benefits, according to the Office of Superin-tendent of Public Instruc-tion.

Libby Boucher, an of-fice manager at Samantha Smith Elementary in Sam-mamish and president of the Lake Washington Educational Support Pro-fessionals, said support

professionals do not make a living wage and often have to take a second, or even third job to make ends meet.

“We all work very hard for our students,” she said. “It is time, it is past time.”

Howard Mawinney, a teacher at Redmond High School, said at the rally that he would rather be in his classroom, but “Un-fortunately the legislature has not made it an option for us.”

In a district-wide mes-sage sent to parents and students about the walk-out, LWSD Superinten-dent Traci Pierce wrote “We share the LWEA’s concern that the legis-

lature should fully fund basic education. We also understand and appreci-ate the disruption that this change in schedule may cause for families.”

While legislators like State Rep. Larry Springer, who is a former Kirkland mayor and represents the area in Olympia, say they are sympathetic to their concerns, practical issues, such as funding sources, cannot be overlooked. A struggling economy and lower tax revenue, he said, has made it difficult for them to come up with the money.

Despite concerns about adequate education fund-ing, he added, it is the first budget in five to six years to make what he believes is real progress towards meeting their constitutional mandate.

As for reducing class sizes under I-1351, Springer said to fully car-ry out reductions in K-12 it would require the state to come up with an ad-ditional $4 billion, which doesn’t include the money that has to be raised at the local level.

“It was one of those feel great initiatives, but it has no funding mechanism,” he said. “We’re skeptical about whether we can get the Senate to just pay for the $1.4 billion. How in

the world we would pay an additional $4 billion, almost three times that, is baffling to me.”

Although the LWEA referred to it as a “walk-out,” LWEA President Kevin Teeley stated that it was a strike but they used the term “walkout” instead to make it clear to students, parents and the school district that their grievances are with the state legislature for not fulfilling its constitutional obligations.

The legality of teacher strikes has been a conten-tious issue. Replying to an inquiry in 2006 by then-State Rep. Toby Nixon, now a Kirkland City

councilmember, Attorney General Rob McKenna is-sued a statement that state and local public employ-ees, including teachers, have no legally protected right to strike as articulat-ed under RCW 41.56.120, though he added the state provides no specific pen-alties for those who do.

Teeley, however, argued that the law is silent on the matter.

“If there is no statute in place that prohibits teach-ers strikes, we believe it is legal,” he said.

Sen. Andy Hill, who represents Kirkland and is a chief budget writer in the Senate, said the timing of the walk-out is

puzzling, as either budget proposal would be “phe-nomenal for education,” calling it the biggest in-crease in K-12 education spending in state history.

He said it includes cost of living adjustments for teachers, which were suspended six years ago when the state cut educa-tion spending by $340 million, as well as extend all-day kindergarten. The proposed budget, he added, would increase per-pupil spending by 30 percent compared to the 2013 budget.

“This is why I ran five years ago,” Hill said. “It seems I can finally say ‘We’re fixing it.’”

Lake Washington School District teachers held a rally at Marina Park on May 6 to protest the failure of the state legislature to fully fund education. TJ MARTINELL, Kirkland Reporter

Opposed to teachers’ strike, demand for more money

I am writing to indicate my opposition to the schoolteacher strikes and demand for more money. � e Senate budget invests in education at a level not seen for almost 30 years: an additional $1.3 billion to K-12 addressing the McCleary de-cision; funding for a 25 percent tuition reduction at state colleges and universities by 2017; and almost $100 million to expand high quality early learning opportunities. Combined this means that almost 50 percent of the budget would be devoted to education. Even the Seattle Times praised this budget as one worth celebrating.

Please do not raise taxes and use existing funds to meet education needs. Shari Newton, Kirkland

Taking the bus to Park Lane event

In response to the re-design and re-opening of Park Lane, Kirkland’s downtown personality and

“walkability” will get a welcome boost. My family will surely attend and enjoy the

grand re-opening from May 29-31, but will take - and remind/encourage all our neighbors to greatly consider - a bus to downtown Kirkland.

We’re coming from Finn Hill with two young kids, and getting them familiar with the bus system in their hometown, while saving gas and tra� c time and parking headaches for us, seems to bene� t all of us. Bus routes and times can be easily found on the Metro website.

Saving gas and driving stress on a weekend, or any time you can, is worth a couple bucks in bus fare.Geo� Lott, Kirkland

Protect religious minorities, Islam does not permit violence

Along with 200 other delegates of the Ah-madiyya Muslim Youth Association, I went to Capitol Hill to gain Congress’ support for the “Protecting Religious Minorities Persecuted by

ISIS Act of 2015” (H.R.1568) on Friday. Today, I � nd myself again advocating against the un-justi� able and un-islamic actions carried out by extremists at a “free speech” event in Texas.

Yes, I do mean un-islamic. Islam has never permitted violence in response to blasphemy. In fact, the Quran has addressed blasphemy on � ve separate occasions (4:141, 4:157; 6:69, 6:109; 9:74; 63:9), but nowhere does it permit violence as a response. Moreover, the Prophet Muham-mad repeatedly tolerated abuse and avoided violence; for instance, the Prophet Muhammad not only tolerated the actions of Abdullah Ubay bin Salul – the very man who spread the cruel lie that the Prophet Muhammad’s wife was an adulterer – but he also led his funeral prayer.

� e group hosting the event, the American Freedom Defense Initiative, has been labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. On the other hand, Muslim Americans have lived in America since the time of George Washington; despite this, free speech remains protected. Yet, I am still le� wondering what speech is being protected in this case.Usama Ahmed, Bothell

● L E T T E R S . . . Y O U R O P I N I O N C O U N T S : To submit an item or photo: email [email protected]; mail attn: Letters, Kirkland Reporter, 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8/9, Kirkland, Washington, 98034; fax 425.822.0141. Letters may be edited for style, clarity and length.

As chief of police in Kirkland, I was very pleased to learn that our new parking enforcement vehicle has already caught

people’s attention. What really may be surpris-ing to many is the primary purpose of parking enforcement and who’s working behind the wheel. � e city’s two parking enforcement o� cers (PEOs) do much more than issue citations. � ey are excellent ambassadors for the city of Kirkland as they are akin to a mobile help desk - highly vis-ible and frequently contacted for numerous parking and non-parking related issues.

� ey have helped reunite lost children with parents, assist lost visitors in � nding their destination and � nd help for lost animals. � e o� cers work for the Kirkland Police Department and while they are not police o� cers, they are tru-ly an extra set of eyes and ears for all. � ey are o� en contacted by citizens wishing to report a crime and, on occasion, are witnesses to crimes themselves, quickly calling for police assistance on their radio. � ey don’t drive po-lice cars, but their visible, accessible presence is comforting to visitors. Every day our PEO’s are waved down by visitors looking for a place to park, a place to eat or a place to simply go for a walk and enjoy everything that Kirkland has to o� er. � ey are true frontline advocates for the city of Kirkland and our business com-munity. � eir knowledge and diligence to the enforcement of parking regulations is critical for our visitors as well as the vitality of our business community.

We are very pleased that despite being on the road for less than a week, our new parking vehicle is already the talk of the town. A� er 11 years of service, our traditional three-wheel parking vehicles needed to be replaced and many options were researched, tested and carefully considered before choosing the Toyota Scion. Like our previous transition to

black and white police cars, the make, model, color and graphics of the new parking vehicle were purposely chosen to increase visibility and ease of recognition for our visitors and business community. � e vehicle is highly maneuverable, provides increased safety and comfort for our parking enforcement o� cers, while increasing their e� ectiveness by more e� ciently accessing the rest of the city. Unlike the previous parking vehicles, the Scion can be safely driven on the freeway, which will allow us to expand the parking enforcement program and serve a larger geographical area. In addition to these increased bene� ts and ef-� ciencies, the transition to the Scion will save our taxpayers approximately $20,000 per ve-hicle. One new vehicle is already hard at work and we are currently in the process of order-ing a second replacement vehicle which will complete our � eet of two parking vehicles.

The goal of Kirkland’s parking enforcement program is to enhance quality of life through effective enforcement of parking laws and regulations. Our services provide for the safe and efficient flow of traffic, emergency access and turnover of parking spaces in both residential and commercial areas. The city

continuously works on ways to increase park-ing availability and to enhance the overall parking experience. Our collective efforts also seek to ensure that downtown business employees don’t negatively impact their own employer by parking in spaces that could otherwise be used by those who visit, shop and dine in Kirkland. All of this is critical to the health of our business community, because if a visitor can’t find a place to park, they may choose to take their business or leisure elsewhere.

� e desired outcome of our parking en-forcement program is voluntary adherence to the parking time limits, so that everyone may have reasonable and equitable access to park and experience what makes Kirkland such a great place to live, work, shop and play. While we understand that getting a parking ticket is not enjoyable, we are proud of our parking o� cers as they work hard each day to help everyone enjoy Kirkland. I encourage you to say hello when you see them in your neigh-borhood.

Eric Olsen is the chief of police for the Kirk-land Police Department.

local businesses, and open and accountable to our citizens,” Nixon said in a relase. “I’ll continue using my experience, knowledge and skills, honed as your city council member, as a representative in the state legislature and as a � re commission-er, to serve you in building Kirkland’s tomorrow.”

Nixon is on the Public Safety Com-mittee, Disability Board, Public Works, Parks and Human Services Committee, and he is the Chair of Tourism Develop-ment Committee. He is also a former state representative from the 45th Legislative District and commissioner of King County Fire Protection District 41.

“I am � rmly committed to ensuring that citizens are never surprised by actions

taken by the city,” Nixon said. “You have a right to participate in establishing the future policies of our city and to clear and fair notice when changes are proposed. Kirkland is already an

example of openness and accountability and I will continue to work to ensure our city does an even better job being open, transparent and accountable to our citizens.”

Nixon, who has lived in the Kings-

gate neighborhood since 1993, is the only council member from the 2011 annexation area and is the president of the Washington Coalition for Open Govern-ment.

“We need jobs and busi-nesses in Kirkland to grow if we expect the best services for our neighborhoods and families. I will continue my work for business and zoning

regulations as well as tax policies that accommodate innovation and growth while protecting the unique character of Kirkland and our neighborhoods,” said Nixon, who works as a senior program manager at Microso� .

� e councilman said his hobbies include singing in church and commu-nity choirs, playing the piano, volunteer-ing web site manage-ment for several local organizations, and serving on the boards of charitable organizations. He and his wife Irene have been married for more than 32 years and have � ve grown children. According to the PDC, Nixon has raised $700.

Nixon said that Kirkland residents can call him at 206-790-6377 or email [email protected].

For more information, visit www.tobynixon.com.

Councilman Dave Asher has also � led to run for re-election with the PDC but has not released anything formal to the media. Asher currently serves on the Pub-lic Works, Parks and Human

Services Committee, Public Safety Com-mittee, and Chair of Legislative Commit-tee. He is a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel having served for 21 years as an aviator, infantry-man, and long-range planning o� cer.

Asher has lived in Kirkland since 1993, and retired from the University of Washing-ton where he was the CFO for UW’s Professional and Continuing Education.

Asher is the longest serv-ing member of the council, as he was � rst elected in 2000.

Prior to serving on the City Council he was the chair of the North Rose Hill

Neighborhood Association and co-chair of the Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods. According to the PDC, Asher has raised more than $7,000 so far.

One of Kirkland’s representatives on the King County Council, Jane Hague, has also � led for re-election.

“I am heartened by the support I have received since I began my cam-paign in February,” said Hague, who is vice chair on the council. “I am proud of my record and proud to serve as the Eastside’s Advocate.”

Hague was � rst elected to the council in 1994.

Hague represents District 6 which, along with Kirk-land, includes the commu-nities of Bellevue, Mercer Island, Redmond, Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Beaux Arts, Woodinville,

and Yarrow Point. Hague has raised nearly $140,000 according to the PDC.

Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci was the � rst to challenge Hague and has already raised more than

$60,000. “I am honored

to have such a great show of support for this campaign,” Balducci said. “� e Eastside has changed and grown tremen-dously in the past 20 years. We need new leadership to focus

on our shared opportunities and challenges.”

Balducci has been Bel-levue’s mayor since 2014 and also served as deputy mayor. She was � rst elected to the council in 2004.

All PDC information is as of Reporter deadline on Wednesday morning. Can-didates have until the end of the business day on May 15 to � le paperwork.

For most of my career as a dietitian and health coun-

selor I have paid much at-tention to the deficiencies in my clients’ diet and lifestyle choices and how these could be changed for the better. Over the

years, however, I began focusing more on what went right in their lives and how their strengths could be utilized in order to overcome their weak-nesses. You may say I ap-plied (unknowingly) what is now known as “positive

psychology.”When I say, “What

went right in their lives,” I do not necessarily mean whether they were successful at their work, were financially secure, or had stable marriages and relationships – al-

though these may be important aspects as well – but rather, on a more intimate level, whether they had a sense of self-esteem, fulfillment, gratitude, purpose, and looked optimistically to the future.

This is in fact what practitioners of positive psychology are also most interested in. Their goal is to overcome exist-ing negative thinking styles, mainly by foster-ing positive ones. They try to achieve this by having their clients recall pleasant past experiences, build on advantageous traits and characteristics, cultivate supportive re-lationships, and so forth. The desired end result is what proponents call “liv-ing the good life,” which, again, is not simply to be equated with material wealth.

The “good life” is happy, engaged, and meaningful. To realize it, one must mobilize inher-ent strengths, thereby increasing positive emo-tions while decreasing negative ones, accord-ing to Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman, a professor of psychology at the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania and author of several best-selling self-help books who is widely credited as

one of the founders and early developers of posi-tive psychology as its own academic branch.

Traditional psychology has almost always been concerned with mental and emotional disorders and malfunctions and ways to treat them, he explains. By contrast, posi-tive psychology adds an impor-tant emphasis on the human poten-tial for building and maintaining highly functional and constructive lives.

A number of distinct theories have entered this relatively new field lately. Some focus on basic emotions like joy and happiness, others on the human capacity to create purpose and meaning. The ability to blissfully immerse oneself in one’s work, to flourish while encountering challenges, or to stay resilient in the face of adversity – these are all elements that can contribute to a person’s well-being and are wor-thy of further explora-tion.

And the positive ef-fects are not limited to the mind but benefit the body as well. Plenty of research has already shown that a positive at-titude can be enormously advantageous for good health, and even longev-ity. One study from the

Netherlands found that heart disease patients who maintained a gener-ally optimistic outlook were able to slow down the progress of their illness and extend their life expectancy by several years.

Of course, the reason why some people continue to thrive while others quickly succumb in similar situations is still a mystery. However, clearly

distinguishable ways of thinking seem to make at least some difference that can determine outcomes.

And no doubt, in my own work as a health counselor, I have also reaped the benefits from seeing the glass more often as half-full than half-empty. And because optimism tends to be contagious, there lies some healing power for my clients in that, too.

and tomorrowwater for today

May 2015Report to the Community

Cascade Water Alliance provides safe, clean and reliable water to its members through partnerships ensuring water for today. But it is also creating a lasting legacy by continuing a lean, nimble governance model of regional collaboration, leadership and effective, efficient public resource management.

And we are enhancing our future regional water source Lake Tapps in east Pierce County for eventual water use.

This year Cascade repaired the 100 plus year old system so it will be ready for future use. We’ve fixed the barrier dam and replaced the headgates and 2,300 feet of timber flume with a new concrete flume. We’ve repaired the conveyance system that runs from the White River to the reservoir and back to the river and we are now refilling the reservoir. Why? Because although we don’t need that water now planning for future infrastructure takes years to design and build.

The result of these projects will be a more reliable and predictable system for decades into the future. When you turn on the tap, you will have water today… and tomorrow.

Cascade replaced a crumbling flume with a new cement one to get water to Lake Tapps.

Juanita High School seniors Marla Enciso and Isabel Gregorio know how to raise a racket.

During this most recent badminton season, the two took fourth place at the KingCo Tournament, the highest of any team from the Lake Washington School District, and it’s their second time placing fourth, according to coach Peter Cheng. Their season record secured First Team All-KingCo honors.

Gregorio grew up playing badminton in the Philippines with her father, who took a class with a friend and would regularly defeat her. In an effort to change that, Gregorio joined a team in eighth grade while at-tending Kamiakin Middle School along with Enciso. At Juanita High, Gregorio played for a year before being joined by Enciso.

Badminton matches consist of three games, with the winner being the first to reach 21 points, but they must also win by at least two points.

While recreational play can be competitive, as evi-denced by her own family,

Gregorio said that players take it to a whole new level and things, such as communication between partners, becomes much more critical.

“Everyone thinks it’s really easy, but once you get on the court, you have to work for it,” she said. “Everyone has a mental-ity of winning. It’s a lot more mental. There also has to be some chemistry between you and your partner.”

Part of what made them successful on the court was their yin-yang rela-tionship, one’s strengths being the other’s weak-nesses, and vice versa. Whereas Enciso preferred smashing and was able to hit farther from the net, Gregorio focused on more subtle approaches, such as tipping the shuttlecock, a.k.a the birdie, over the net.

Playing their first year together, they were able to advance to the KingCo tournament and took fourth. In preparation for the next season, they fo-cused on improving where they had had trouble while anticipating tough matches against particular schools. One of the things they sought to improve

was communication, as well as staying active throughout the matches. They also developed their own codewords to avoid giving away their plans.

“We knew we had to step up, seeing how it was our last year,” Gregorio said.

“We were more dedi-cated,” Enciso said.

The preparation paid off in the regular season, los-ing only three matches.

“I think we had a lot better strategy this year,” Gregorio said. “We knew which teams were really good.”

Advancing yet again to the KingCo tournament in April, they lost their first match against Interlake, which ultimately walked away with the champion-ship, and then to Newport over third and fourth place.

Gregorio and Enciso said they also benefited from strong chemistry with their other team-mates.

“We know everyone’s names, everyone’s num-bers,” Gregorio said. “We know how to have fun with them.”

The Juanita badminton team is also coached by Shaun Tarantola.

Sunny, warm weather on its way, and cold rivers, lakes and Sound require caution

With 80 degree weather coming this weekend and the annual boating season un-derway, King County health and safety officials are urging everyone to be safe around open water.

Springtime water tem-peratures are quite cold, and cold-water shock can quickly overwhelm an unprepared swimmer in rivers, lakes and Puget Sound.

Warm weather early in the season raises concern for river managers and emergen-cy responders, who note that higher river flows and lower water temperatures this time of year can be a dangerous combination for swimmers.

“Take advantage of pools for safer swimming. If you do go on the river or lake, lifejackets should be standard equipment,” said Dr. Jeff Duchin, Interim Health Offi-

cer for Public Health – Seattle & King County.

“I urge everyone to use caution when going into the water,” said King County Sheriff John Urquhart. “Wearing a lifejacket while having fun on the water should be second nature – like clicking your safety belt when getting into a car, or snapping on a helmet when going for a bike ride.”

“Always wear a lifejacket. Rivers are dangerous year-round, but especially in the springtime due to cold water and faster flows,” said Christie True, Director of the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks. “And it’s important to understand that river systems are constantly changing, with rocks and submerged trees shifting and presenting new hazards from year to year.

A King County study of recreational river use along the Cedar River in 2011 confirmed the widely held notion that summer recre-ation is largely determined by warmer temperatures. When temperatures are in the 70s, there are likely to be people floating on the river. When temperatures reach 80 degrees or higher, floating, swimming and other recre-ational river use along rivers

increases dramatically.King County, Public

Health – Seattle & King County, and the King County Sheriff’s Office encourage kayakers, boaters, rafters, swimmers and other river users to check conditions and scout rivers thoroughly for hazards before entering the water. Sometimes the best plan is to not enter the water.

For details about river safety, visit www.kingcounty.gov/riversafety. For more information on water safety and drowning prevention, visit the King County Water Safety website, www.king-county.gov/healthservices/health/injury/water.

Statistics · In 2014, Public Health –

Seattle & King County found that 15 people died in pre-ventable drowning incidents – and nine of them occurred in open water, such as rivers, lakes, ponds, or Puget Sound.

· Eight of the deaths could have been prevented with lifejacket use.

· Half of all deaths involved alcohol and/or other drugs.

· Drowning is the second leading cause of unin-tentional injury death for children and teens age 1-17 in Washington.

marked the third anniver-sary of their decision to get into the brewing business, though by then they had

been homebrewing for several years

While enjoying a beer at Hopvine Pub in Se-attle, Scott Holm said he

brought up the idea with Michelle. At the time, he was working in the health-care industry, commuting from Seattle to Tacoma. Meanwhile, he had become engrossed in homebrewing a� er Michelle bought him a Mr. Beer kit for Christ-mas.

“She had no idea what she was getting herself into,” he joked.

Looking to improve the quality of the beer, Scott Holm said he kept upgrad-ing his beer kits while the amount of beer brewed increased. Eventually, they

were brewing so much beer he had trouble getting rid of the latest batch in order to make room for the next round and asked their friends to come � ll up their growlers - glass beer containers.

Seeing the increasing popularity of microbrewer-ies, Scott Holm wanted to take the personal hobby to the next level. Although he had not run a business before, he said he isn’t afraid of challenges. Michelle, who

in addition to tasting also helps with measuring the batches, agreed to go ahead with the idea.

“My wife has been super supportive of it,” Scott Holm said. “She’s been very

integral to this whole thing.”

Entering brew-ing school, Scott Holm learned about

the business-side of running a brewery while reaching out to local brew-eries to learn whatever he could. He also researched information online. One thing he found was among the microbrewery commu-nity was support for new-comers and those looking to break into the industry.

Working on the name for the brewery, Scott Holm said he chose Chainline Brewing in tribute to his past job at a bicycle shop.

“I just wanted to stay connected to that commu-nity,” he said. “Bikes and beer go together, I think.”

� e name also � t with their vision for the brewery experience, as a place bicyclists could stop at, either as a destination or along the way. Brewed in imported distillers, the beers rarely go above 6.5 percent alcohol, including the Indian Pale Ale that traditionally have a high alcohol content.

“We try to do things the way they should be done and not the cheapest or easiest, but o� er something

di� erent than what they’re used to,” Scott Holm said.

When looking for pos-sible locations throughout the Eastside, Scott Holm said they kept coming back to Kirkland, where plans to build the CKC interim trail were underway. Also, he said, they were attracted to the community’s bicycle culture as re� ected in city’s masterplan.

“Kirkland always � t the bill more than most,” he said.

Finally, discovering a spot overlooking the cor-ridor on Sixth Street just north of Google’s Kirkland Campus, he said the loca-tion positions them where they are in the middle of the city rather than located out of sight and out of the way.

“Doing this gives us a much more community feel than most,” he said. “And so far it seems to be panning out that way. It’s been really exciting in the last couple of weeks to see that… people are stepping in who didn’t even know about us.”

Along with adding four more beers and food trucks on Fridays and Saturdays, Scott Holm said they are already planning for expansion, something he said was drilled into him at brewing school.

“If you don’t think about it, it’s going to cost you twice as much down the road,” he said.

Interviewing Scott Holm with Chainline Brewing gave me the

opportunity to discuss one of my favorite topics, beer.

An apocryphal quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin holds that beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Whoever actu-ally said it knew how to preach a good sermon.

I would also say the same thing about the micro-brewery culture in the Paci� c Northwest. On days when I’m feeling a little down, all I have to do is remind myself of the dozens of local beers avail-able to me that are not to most people in the world outside of major brewing cultures.

For those who aren’t fa-miliar with the microbre-wry scene here, you might be tempted to think of a local dive bar infested with

less than sterling charac-ters your mother wouldn’t want you to play with.

In reality, microbrew-eries are the answer to a prayer for people like me who refuse to settle for anything other than good

quality beer. Hav-ing the expan-sive hop � elds of the Yakima Valley in the same state helps. Microbreweries also allow us to partake in our high standard

consumption in a classy atmosphere that doesn’t require a 300 pound bouncer (which means for those of you with under-age progeny, you can bring your � ve-year old kid in tow and not worry about corrupting in� uences on their naiveté).

I am what you would might refer to as “broad minded” when it comes to types of beer I like. � ere are very few I’ll refuse,

provided they’re brewed well, so yes, I could theo-retically be regarded as a beer snob.

For those who know me, this is a strange series (and allegedly unfortunate) turn of events, because not too long ago if someone had served me beer I would have pushed it away in dis-gust. � roughout college, I couldn’t even stand the smell. However, this was due less to beer itself and more to the quality of beer available to us poor col-lege students. Most drank cheap swill - the brands of which shall remain anony-mous, but you know who you are - that would make a goat gag.

Ignorant of the wonder-ful world of microbrews due to a � nancial myopia, I couldn’t understand how anyone could actually enjoy the taste of beer.

Fortunately, I was saved from my self-imposed prohibitionism while working a particularly

grueling summer job in 2009, which included one of the hottest days on record. A� er losing about a pound in sweat while loading cars, trucks and SUVs with thousands of pounds of concrete mix, I sought refuge at the end of my shi� with a friend, who o� ered me an iced bottle of a local Pilsner whose name regretfully escapes me. Relishing its crisp, refreshing quality, I was given a new hope, a hope that there were better beers out there. And I was determined to � nd them.

In the years since, my Christopher Columbus-style exploration has opened me up to the New World of microbrews. Wherever I go in the state, even in the tiniest of towns, there is always a microbrewery tucked away for me to discover with a growler in hand. Many road trips I take are thinly disguised pilgrimages to my favorite breweries.

What makes these beers so wonderful are the dif-ferent occasions for which to enjoy them. On a hot summer day, it’s hard to beat a good Hefeweizen, Pilsner or Belgium Wheat Ale. � e spring deluges we endure seem perfectly appropriate for a thick stout. And some, like the speciality beers or Indian Pale Ales, are an event unto themselves.

Comments by friends from other parts of the country about our wide se-lection of microbeers only a� rms what a privilege it is. Yet, I fear many natives may not fully appreciate this when they go to local breweries or pubs while our fellow brethren else-where must content them-selves with the brand x’s. So hoist a local microbrew, and be happy. Deus vult!

For the time being, the city of Kirkland intends to make more

e� cient use of the park-ing currently available in downtown as they further examine long-term options for increasing the supply.

� e City Council ap-proved recommendations made by the Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee during the May 4 meeting, including improvements on signage at parking locations in downtown, includ-ing City Hall, as well as maintenance, lighting and security at the library park-ing garage.

City sta� also plan to put two and four hour time limits along Market Street from Central Way to Sixth Avenue while extending the paid parking lot times at Lake Avenue and Central

Way. Right now, drivers have to pay a parking fee between 5-9 p.m., the ex-tention would have it from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

� e council also dis-cussed possibly putting in some type of a valida-tion program for the Lake Avenue and Central Way lot. Currently, merchants can purchase parking-meter tokens for 75 cents to give to customers, but this makes it hard for customers to use the tokens for that particular day, since they usually have already parked and paid for the spot.

� e actions are based on prior recommendations made by city sta� earlier this year based on feedback from residents at vari-ous community outreach meetings in February and March.

� e council decided at its April 7 meeting to send the recommendations to the

committee a� er council-members expressed their desire for not only more options but ways to imple-ment them as quickly as possible.

An additional strategy the city plans to carry out is to facilitate cooperation be-tween downtown employers and property owners, such as local churches, who have parking space avail-able during the week for employees.

One of the long-term solutions con-sidered is turning the city’s property south of City Hall into a public parking lot which, if simply converted into a gravel lot, would provide a low-cost alternative.

Other long-term propos-als recommended by the Kirkland Chamber Com-

merce, which also support-ed time limits along Market Street, include opening up Lake Avenue West for downtown employees to park and building an un-derground parking garage underneath Peter Kirk Park and Lee Johnson Field.

� e economic develop-ment committee o� ered no

recommendation on the underground

parking garage but advised opening up Lake Avenue West to timed or employee

parking. � e street cur-

rently does not have sidewalks and is one of the few in the city that require a permit to park.

� e council ultimately deferred on both issues until June.

Yet, as the city looks to take action, some residents

attending the meeting warned about the possibil-ity of spillover tra� c into the adjacent neighborhoods unless new parking space is added.

In their study of down-town parking, Rick Wil-liams Consulting found nearly all the stalls are � lled for most of the day and rec-ommended adding 150 new stalls, though Toby Nixon said they have since identi-� ed spaces not included in the report.

“If we don’t have near term plans for long term projects we’re never going to get anywhere,” down-town resident Rob Brown said. “All there are, are plans to help out us to get to the spaces we already have. We have to plan now or the long term will never occur.”

One potential problem with opening up Lake Avenue West would be how to do so in a way that

is consistent with existing city policy articulated in the Public Works Depart-ment’s Pre-Approved 2015 Plans stating that “spill over” parking into other neighborhoods from the central business district be mitigated.

Because of this, Pat Wilburn, a board member of the Market Neighbor-hood Association, told the council that they should give preference to the op-tions that will prevent such spill-over from occurring.

Concerning Lake Avenue West, Councilmember Toby Nixon said, “We should not be treating it in isolation in regard to this policy. � ere is existing written policy that we will protect the neighborhoods downtown from over� ow. We need to manage it as a policy for everybody. A consistent policy for everyone in place.”

City intends to make downtown parking more efficient

Boats collide in Kirkland waters, several injured

Kirkland � re� ghters res-cued a handful of boaters on Lake Washington Saturday evening a� er their two boats collided a few hundred yards o� of Houghton Beach.

KFD units arrived on the scene at around 5:38 p.m. and sent out three rescue divers on a private cra� to the two boats. A total of 10 people were taken o� the boats, with three injured and one transported to the hospital. It is not known what caused the collision at this time, though a KFD spokesperson

said an investigation is likely underway.

Mercer Island Patrol and King County Marine Patrol also participated in the rescue.

LWSD classes help KPD name vehicles

Seven Lake Washington School District (LWSD) elementary schools have been helping the Kirkland Police Department by participat-ing a naming contest for the Kirkland Police Depart-ment’s (KPD) two new Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs). Children submitted potential names for the new UTVs and the names are now open for a community vote through May 22.

� e two names that receive the highest online votes will

be announced at the June 2 Kirkland City Council meeting. To cast your vote, go to www.research.net/r/KPD-NameUTVs.

A special presentation will be held at 7:30 p.m. the June 2 Kirkland City Council meeting.
