This is the second year that the chain has put on the ghoulish events each Thursday afternoon during October. It is aimed at giving shoppers ideas for Halloween costumes. Thrift stores have long been a treasure trove for Halloween costumes and the chain has seized on that idea. Some of the fashion shows have a theme in Kirkland, like the Oct. 13 zombie fashion show. “We got really

theatrical with that one,� said Rommal. “We have people who really know how to do makeup and it is just a lot of fun.� Most of the staff is passionate about entertaining customers during the fashion shows. “They get really excited about doing it,� said store manager Paula Keleci. “This is our busiest time of year. Department stores have Christmas, we have Halloween. We put stuff aside all year for this.� The employees at the store

change their costumes each day and participate in the fashion show on Thursdays in October. This is the second year that the chain has put on the events, with more than 270 stores participating throughout the Northwest. But some stores, like Kirkland, take it further than others. The Kirkland store will also have some extra fashion shows, like last weekend’s superhero theme. “We don’t just throw a wig on and call it a costume,� said employee Will Carlson, who, with his face painted and dressed as the character Cobra from G.I. Joe, held a [ more COSTUMES page 9 ]

Toby Nixon for Kirkland City Council The Seattle Times Endorses Toby Nixon

Kirkland Fire Fighters Endorse Toby Nixon

“Knitting [the annexed] areas into the city poses challenges that will require enthusiasm and deft political handling. Toby Nixon, who is challenging the Position 4 incumbent, brings both. The Kingsgate resident worked for the annexation as co-chair of Citizens for One Kirkland; incumbent Jessica Greenway was the lone council vote against annexation. “Nixon is a seasoned leader with extensive local and statewide connections as a former state representative, former fire district commissioner, chairman of the Kirkland Ethics Task Force and president of the Washington Coalition of Open Government.”

“Kirkland Firefighters are proud to stand with and endorse Toby Nixon for Kirkland City Council. Firefighters have held a long standing relationship with Toby Nixon in his commitment to Emergency Services and the Fire Service in the Washington State Legislature, as a community activist in support of our recent annexation, and as Fire Commissioner, Fire District 41.… He is accessible and connected to his community and its affiliates. Public Safety and Emergency Services will remain a top priority as he transitions into the position of Kirkland City Council. “Please stand with the Kirkland Firefighters as we support Toby Nixon.”

The Lake Washington School District Board of Directors is embarking on its process to find a successor to Dr. Chip Kimball, who will be leaving after this school year. As the first step, the board is asking parents and community members to provide input into what they should look for in candidates for that position. “Finding the right individual to lead our school district is among the most important tasks we do as a school board,” noted Board President Jackie Pendergrass. “We have several very important initiatives underway as a district, such as the change in grade configuration of our schools. Given these challenges, we are trying to determine the kind of leader who will best help us complete that work.” The survey covers the critical issues facing the district and the background, experiences or characteristics a new superintendent should have.

City officials answer questions from Finn Hill residents BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

T

he Kirkland City Council held a special meeting with annexation area residents Oct. 19 at Finn Hill Junior High to discuss issues important to the new citizens of Kirkland. Residents submitted 48 written questions to the council during the meeting, all of which were answered in a recent email to a Finn Hill Neighborhood Committee organizer. The questions ranged from taxes, parks, and planning, to policing and many other varied topics. Here are just a few of the questions and answers covered in the response. One of the hottest topics for Finn Hill residents is the construction of a new fire station. Residents asked for an update of where the process is currently. The city responded that it is in the selection process for hiring an architecture/ engineering firm to conduct a siting analysis for potential locations, including two sites that the now-defunct Fire District No. 41 previously considered. The proposal deadline was

Sept. 14 and the selection committee will be interviewing the top two candidates within the next couple of weeks. The next step will be to define criteria for evaluating sites and review public outreach efforts. Another resident asked if the issue of banning panhandling in Kirkland has been raised. The city has not approached the issue but noted that some surrounding cities have passed ordinances to prohibit the practice. City officials said the recent annexation has led to the Parks and Community Services Department updating the city’s Comprehensive Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan (‘PROS’ Plan). The PROS Plan identifies goals, objectives, and levels of service for the city’s park system and identifies priorities for future development, renovation, and acquisition

projects. For more information visit the city’s Web site at www.kirklandwa.gov. A very candid answer came from the city when asked if it will enforce code violations within the neighborhoods. “The answer to this question is generally, no,” said city officials. “The city receives hundreds of complaints and responds on a complaint-based system. However, staff will proactively investigate and follow-up on life/safety and/ or environmental degradation situations.” In another question about junk cars and other code enforcement issues, the city responded: “Code enforcement has been very busy in the new neighborhoods with these and other issues. Since June 1, of the 42 complaints filed having junk vehicle, weeds and property maintenance as primary issues, at least 16 have been from the new neighborhoods.” Citizens may file complaints on the city’s Web site. Complaints may be mailed to or dropped off at City Hall as well. All will be investigated as soon as possible, officials said. City representatives said

new crosswalks in specific locations. Many of these requests had to do with kids walking to school. City officials said they work closely with the Lake Washington School District to provide safe walk routes and have applied for many state and federal grants for these projects. The city then prioritizes requests. The next Finn Hill neighborhood meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m., Nov. 30 at Finn Hill Junior High School. The biggest topic will be to approve the proposal for the Denny Creek Neighborhood Alliance (DCNA) to become the recognized neighborhood association for the Finn Hill area. Approval would include changing the organization’s name and expanding the purpose of the organization to embrace not only environmental stewardship issues but also other matters of interest to the community at large (for example, zoning, transportation and public safety).

COMMENTARY

Question of the week:

ell, as an editor said, that sure went fast. Certainly did. It seems like just a few weeks ago that I walked into an office in Kirkland and began working at the smallest newspaper I’d been with since graduating from college in the ‘60s. As I wrote then, in August, I was filling in for a reporter who was on medical leave, and he’s recovered, doing fine, and he’s back at work, so I’m not. As I also wrote then, in pondering the roles of information and newspapers in an age of tiny smartphone screens, the weeks here have been a learning experience, working on a weekly paper in my hometown after a career spent on a big-city metro, The Seattle Times. I wish I could say I’ve discovered some answers. I haven’t. In a way, the work turned out to be like what I’d done nearly my entire life. Spell the names right. Make sure the addresses are good. Try to write so someone might read it. The experiences also solidified my thinking about what’s the basis of reporting, the sense of discovery, the sense of surprise. A story about what seemed like just a foreclosed house on Seventh Avenue turned out to involve a hundreds-of-millions-ofdollars business collapse. An apartment project on Lake Washington Boulevard revolved around the ideas of an engaging guy from Tibet. But a couple of the major things I thought about weren’t even really in Kirkland, although I was working for the Kirkland Reporter. One was the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, which makes its Eastside landfall in Medina. Yet that bridge largely determined Kirkland’s fate, since the city virtually had been destroyed by the Mercer Island Floating Bridge in 1940, allowing Bellevue to eclipse what had been the bigger city to the north. That bridge, part of SR 520, also largely determined my fate, and the fates of thousands of other drivers who used it daily. It allowed me to live one place and work in another. At about five

hours a week spent in its four lanes, I figure that about five years of my life passed staring at its concrete over more than 40 years. Because of the profession I was in, 520 also had other profound effects. A few years ago, I was surprised to be thumbing through some fading clippings at The Times and noticed an article about 520, illustrated with elaborate graphics, of how the state was considering putting in reversible lanes to solve traffic jams. “Wow!”I thought. “This is pretty interesting. I wonder who wrote this?” Then I looked at the byline. I wrote it. In 1970. Now, only 44 years later, in 2014, the bridge might be replaced, leading to a certain skepticism about when people say they’re going to do things and when they get done. There was also another aspect, of other memories, of crooked toll collectors caught pocketing dimes and quarters in the 1970s, of kids in a Saab convertible who died while apparently adjusting the car’s radio on the bridge in 1993, of a thing called the Trans-Lake Study that went on for years in the late 1990s, looking at everything from a tunnel under Lake Washington — one end would have to be at

Lake Union and the other in Redmond — to a mythical third lake bridge, which would have dumped eight lanes of traffic at about Juanita Drive. One event I’ve never been able to erase from my memory took place in September, 1998, when Stephanie Breeding died on the bridge. She was 17, a passenger in the back of an SUV that went off the bridge near Foster Island, at the west end. Two young men in front survived. Stephanie, trapped in the back in the shallow water, died. She’d gone to Lake Washington High School, then transferred to Mt. Si High in Snoqualmie, and I went there to learn about her; inevitably, a receptionist said the school couldn’t divulge anything, because of confidentiality laws. As I turned to leave, and as I’ll never forget, the receptionist said one more thing. “I suppose I could tell you about Oprah,”she said. I turned around, and agreed the Oprah Winfrey show probably wasn’t a secret, and then learned how Stephanie had undergone a [ more JOURNALISM page 15 ] heart transplant a year

Toby will be annexation area’s voice on council I support Toby Nixon for Kirkland City Council. I’ve known Toby for a few years and I know this about Toby: 1. Toby is dedicated to community service. Every time I have seen him it has been in some volunteer capacity for the community. 2. Toby has an analytical mind and solves problems. 3. Toby is a nice guy. His leadership skills enable him to work with people from diverse backgrounds and achieve consensus. Toby understands that city government must be affordable. The council must do a better job of planning. It is unconscionable that his opponent supported a large property tax increase; property tax is the cruelest tax of all. Sales taxes tend to go up and

down as our circumstances change. Property tax just goes up and up. It’s nearly impossible to downsize just to save on taxes and yet property taxes are driving people out of their homes. I would like to ask Toby’s opponent why she didn’t do something about Kirkland streets before it was a crisis and before she had to ask the annexation area to pay for the council’s negligence. We maintained our roads, now we are asked to pay to repair their roads. Toby will actively work to bring business to Kirkland. The best way to achieve growth and provide the services Kirkland wants is to have a vibrant business community. Toby will start on day one working to bring businesses to Kirkland. The annexation area does not have a voice on the council, which is taxation without representation. Toby will be our voice. Won’t you join me in voting for Toby

Nixon?

Jeanie D. McCombs, Kirkland

Greenway has honesty, integrity The qualities I like best about Jessica Greenway are her honesty and integrity. Jessica has common sense and lots of energy to get things done. She’s not afraid to make decisions based on what’s best for Kirkland to thrive. Independent thinking and knowledgeable decision making are the qualities we want on the city council. Greenway is the only person on the council with Planning Commission experience. She listens and responds to Kirkland citizens. Kirkland’s way of life, public safety and a balanced budget are at the top of Jessica’s agenda. We must reelect her.

Reject rejection and support Sternoff The behavior of the Citizens for Concerned Kirkland, an anonymous Political Action Committee, has compelled me to action. I am writing a general letter to the community in support of Bob Sternoff, our long-standing and experienced councilman who is running for reelection to a third term. Over the past years, I have attended many council meetings, as well as been part of meetings with council to report on various public art issues related to our Kirkland neighborhoods and downtown streets. When I compare the two candidates, I cannot fathom selecting the opponent over Bob. In spite of outright attacks, Bob has continued to serve Kirkland tirelessly over the [ more LETTERS page 15 ] span of

Woman gets surprise for her 105th birthday MORE PHOTOS ONLINE… kirklandreporter.com

BY CARRIE WOOD

Ruth Hamby listens as the City of Earlington, Ky. mayor dedicates “Ruth Hamby Day” over the phone, in honor of Hamby’s 105th birthday on Oct. 20. Hamby grew up in Earlington and now lives at Emeritus at Kirkland. CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter

cwood@kirklandreporter.com

Give the lady some space, please. That’s probably what Ruth Hamby would have told the crowd of 50 that was gathered at Emeritus at Kirkland on Oct. 20 to celebrate her 105th birthday. But for a moment, the woman who is known for talking and telling it like it is was temporarily speechless. Perhaps she was overwhelmed by her birthday surprise. Bill Fenner, executive director of the retirement facility, held a microphone up to a cell phone so Hamby could hear the man talking. Mayor Michael W. Seiber of Earlington, Ky. – Hamby’s hometown – wished her a happy birthday and proclaimed Oct. 20 as “Ruth Hamby Day” from that day forward. Kirkland’s Deputy Mayor Penny Sweet also wished the woman well on behalf of the city during the event. “Any words of wisdom?” Fenner asked Hamby. And then the words came and the crowd listened as though Hamby was reciting the winning lottery numbers.

“Keep busy,” she said. “Enjoy life and be kind to others.” “My mother always said shape up because if you look nice, you’ll feel nice.” “We were taught right is right and wrong is very wrong.” Born Oct. 20, 1906, Hamby grew up in the small Kentucky town as the oldest of four. She married her hometown sweetheart, Earl, in 1927. The couple bought their first house for $200 and later moved to Vancouver, Wash., where Earl got a job at the Kaiser shipyards in 1941. Hamby helped christen one of the naval war ships that was built there. When she was 40 and ready to adopt a child after having difficulty conceiving, she finally became pregnant with her only son, Jack. Jack, who was at the event with his wife, Carolyn, was amazed at the City of Earlington proclamation in honor of his mother. “That’s really neat mom. I’ll be darned,” he said. What did he think about his mother turning 105? “I’d say it surprises us, but I’m not so sure it does anymore,” he laughed, recalling his mom’s splendid banana cream pies and spoon bread. During the event, Hamby asked Jack to tell her “beautiful grandchildren” that she loves them. She also spoke about her grandson’s wedding that she got to attend a few weeks ago. “There’s nothing that makes you happier than a happy, married life,” she said, adding love is most important. “No love is ever wasted. Every bit of love that you show is reflected in others and it makes the world a better place to live.” Black and white photos displayed throughout the lobby showed Hamby throughout her life: Hamby, a smiling sevenyear-old and at sweet 16; Hamby with her infant son; and another photo of her and late husband, Earl, looking out over the location of the soon-to-be constructed Grand Coulee Dam. In many of the photos, Hamby wore lovely hats. “She’s always dolled up like this every day,” said Merna Strassner, a resident at Emeritus. “She puts me to shame. She’s a doll, you know.” Millie Watts met Hamby four years ago when she was visiting a friend at the facility. “Here’s what she said to me: ‘You know, I’m so surprised that I’m still here,” said Watts. “I said, ‘yes, this is a nice facility.’ And Ruth said, ‘No, I mean to be alive – I’m over 100.’ That just captivated my heart.” Resident Barbara Lovett will be 100 this July and says Hamby is her inspiration. “That’s my goal to get her age and maybe surpass it by a year. She’s been my goal all these years.”

For the second straight year Juanita held their cross town rivals Lake Washington scoreless during the Kirkland rivalry game on Oct. 21.

The team followed it up with 27 points in the second quarter. Trayon McNairy made two of the runs, the first off a pass from Hilliker and the second a 48-yard run into the endzone. The third of the second quarter came courtesy of a 28-yard run by Travis Marshall, followed by a 49-yard run by Darrin Laufasa. In the third quarter Marshall struck again, this time making a 75-yard run for the Rebels. Alec Martin made a 20-yard run in the fourth quarter to score the final points of the night.

On Oct. 20, Juanita hosted the undefeated Liberty Patriots, losing 5-3. Sara Holden had the first goal of the game in the 25th minute, but it was followed a minute later by Shannon Daly’s goal for Liberty to make it 1-1. Karissa Radke scored next in the 36th minute to give the Rebels an edge, but again it was short lived, as Liberty scored in the 37th minute of the game. After halftime the two teams continued to trade

goals, with Radke scoring, this time assisted by Hannah Johnson, in the 43rd minute. It wasn’t until Kailiana Johnson scored in the 62nd minute that Liberty tied the game gain.

If you have a son or daughter that has played soccer in the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association (LWYSA), then chances are you have visited 60 Acres Park in Redmond, the largest soccer complex west of the Mississippi. Home to LWYSA matches as well as national tournaments and a myriad of other events, the aging park requires as much as $500,000 of maintenance and upgrade costs annually, and a new organization is spearheading the effort to raise the funds needed to keep the park in top shape. “Our maintenance costs have now approached almost half a million a year,” explained Curt Bateman, Director of Community Development for the LWYSA Crossfire soccer club. “We fund that solely from user fees and our own budget, so there’s no taxpayer money that goes into this. We’d like to improve the park and there’s several things we’d like to do to make it a better place.”

MORE THAN JUST SOCCER What many visitors to 60 Acres Park may not realize is that the facility’s use goes far beyond its 25 soccer fields. “Every Wednesday during the summer, the Seattle Area Soaring Society comes down and has their club night, and on any given morning you’ll see several guys down here flying their electric planes,” said Bateman, adding the local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts participate in rocket launches at the park. “We’re very pleased to be the only venue that you can do rocket launches on.” The Potlatch Ultimate Frisbee tournament was held on Fourth of July Weekend, drawing hundreds of the top Ultimate players from the Pacific Northwest and Canada, and the park is conveniently located next to the popular Sammamish River Trail, which connects Eastside

recreational hot spots. In addition, the park hosted the opening of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure event in September last year, an event that drew 3,000 participants and volunteers, and Bateman met with representatives from Redmondbased Hopelink last week to discuss future plans for a fundraiser, which may involve a 5K run. “It is right at 5K from Marymoor to 60 Acres, so that works out really well,” Bateman said. “We just did a food drive for Hopelink a couple weeks ago, and the donations were incredible, something like 2,500 pounds of food. We’d like to do something really large to aid them in their quest to make Redmond hunger-free.” The park is best known for soccer, however, and as the hundreds of kids of all ages that use the facility on a daily basis from June to October can attest to, it is a vital part of the community. “Our goal with this organization is to maintain the fields so that everybody, not just soccer players, gets a chance at this community resource,” said Redmond City Council member David Carson, who is on the organization’s advisory board. “It’s an amazing resource for the community and we need to take care of it.”

AN ECONOMIC BOOST Carson, who is also the chairman of the city’s Lodging and Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC), pointed out that a well-maintained 60 Acres Park will drive money into the city of Redmond and the surrounding Eastside region as seen during the park’s hosting of the girls’ national soccer championships, when 120 teams from around the country and 180 from the LWYSA came down for one week during the summer. Bateman noted that those 300 teams booked out 2,000 hotel rooms for the tournament. “That’s part of the importance of 60 Acres,” he said. “It drives a lot of tourism dollars into the city.”

Carson went on to describe how he has friends in the Tri-Cities area of Washington who often come to play at 60 Acres, and that the LTAC is now supporting a grant program that provides marketing dollars for an event if it’s in Redmond, a perk that Crossfire happily participates in. “We get a huge influx of people... some stay at our hotels, and there are not many hotels to the north which is great because Redmond gets the bulk of it,” Carson explained. “To me, that’s the kind of activity we can support on the LTAC. It brings people to us, and that helps not just the hotels, but obviously the rest of the economy.”

PAVING THE WAY Being that King County “doesn’t put a lot of money into the park,” according to Carson, the money needed currently comes from the LWYSA budget and park user fees that are included in soccer registra-

tion costs – and now fundraisers put on by the organization. Friends of 60 Acres’ first big campaign is underway, and it will allow park supporters to purchase engraved pavers. Individuals can purchase 4-inch by 8-inch bricks for $65 or an 8-inch by 8-inch for $120, and business sponsorship opportunities are available at the $1,000, $2,500 and $5,000 levels which include larger pavers mounted in a prominent location at the park. “There are a lot of people that played here 30 years ago, and we’re hoping they’ll pony up and buy a paver, and that some corporations buy one at a higher level,” Bateman said on the fundraiser. “We’re hoping to raise a quarter of a million dollars.” The park’s current maintenance project is a much-needed improvement to the water irrigation system, as 60 Acres has had to open late the past two years because it has been too wet, only to not have enough

water once July and the warmer summer weather hits. “There’s not enough electricity to run a bigger pump, and currently we’re pumping out of the river,” Bateman said. “What we want to do is upgrade that, and be ready for Brightwater, which comes in next year. We want to put some sprinklers in the ground and buy larger irrigators so we can keep the fields a little softer and grow better grass.” Added Carson, “This is a way that the community can support (the park), en masse, on a grand scale and get the bang for the buck that you don’t see from government.” For more information, visit www. friendsof60acres.org.

October 28, 2011 [15]

www.kirklandreporter.com earlier, gone on the Oprah show to tell people not to be discouraged, and I wondered why someone would survive all that and then die on the bridge. I never learned that answer, either. In those years, my wife and I also had our own kids going to Lake Washington, and Friday night would come, and they’d say they were going into Seattle, and I’d watch them leave in the old 1986 car we’d bought them, and wonder if we should throw our arms around them and hug them, since we’d possibly never see them again. We never did that, either. Embarrassment is everywhere. They didn’t die. Sometimes our fears are unfounded. But it was partly such thoughts that led me to write an article about 520 and its proposed tolls, scheduled to start in December, for the Kirkland Reporter, to try to explain how millions of license-plate pictures and toll transactions will be handled, and how it’s proved to be a daunting task, now a year behind schedule. I hope it all works, barely a month from now. I’ll be among the people vigorously applauding. I’ve been waiting a long time. Finally, along with such also-unanswered questions as whether it’s reasonable to print articles on physical paper when they’ve probably been posted on the paper’s Web site days or hours before — something I don’t think anyone in the

the past years. He is experienced, dedicated, intelligent, connected to citizens and businesses, hard-working and determined to be a part of “taking Kirkland to the next level.” Bob plans to work toward a more seamless integration of the annexation area, to analyze and ameliorate the effects of the upcoming bridge toll and to be a proactive supporter of managed growth in downtown and Totem Lake. All of the things we need he is working for, has been working for and will continue to work for into the future. There are very few qualities that can substitute for this kind of ground-level, gut-level experience. The tactics of the citizen group formed to defeat Bob are beneath us. Kirkland is better than this. We campaign FOR CANDIDATES. It would be justice in action if all of Kirkland voted for Bob in repudiation of these tactics.

Gardiner is best candidate I have personally met with both candidates for Kirkland City Council, Position 2, and discussed their background and qualifications for this office. From these discussions, I am convinced that Jason Gardiner is the right choice and is the best candidate for this office. Jason brings a strong and successful business background as well as a history of service to his country. He is an individual with high ethical standards and communicates and solves problems logically and with good judgment. He brings a fresh perspective to this office and with this, new ideas. The thing that strikes me about Jason is his tendency to ask “why” rather than adopt the

boards, providing input and standard line of “this is the protecting our interests. His way we have always done business experience is invaluthings.” His interest is to serve the citizens of Kirkland, able.

Seattle the best city in the country for business. So I didn’t write that story. Now I’ve just finished a 2009 book titled, “A Colossal Failure of Common Sense,” about the failure of Lehman Brothers in New York in 2008, which set off our present economic despairs. It’s largely about the housing bubble, and reading it, I thought about how Kirkland houses once cost $40,000, and then they sold for $400,000, and surely it seemed they would never go above that, but then they sold for $800,000, and then $1.5 million in April 2008 — that really happened to one Kirkland house I’m aware of — and how somehow it all seemed natural, that that was the way the world should be, that the streets naturally should be filled with Range Rovers. As we’re learning now, perhaps it wasn’t so natural. So, as I ruminate over what’s the right strategy for journalism — maybe somewhere between 10,000-word Sunday New York Times Magazine articles and 140-character Tweets — I think about how with my now-perfect second-guessing, I wish I had written some of the stories I didn’t write, and how there’s certainly something really important occurring right now, but no one sees it. I think that’s the true value of journalism, and reporters, and newspapers. Sometimes, occasionally, they do see such things, and that’s something good. I wonder if this article will fit on an iPhone screen.

Gardiner would bring fresh perspective I feel the council needs change, and Jason Gardiner offers a good start on that path. As the leadership of this city, the council continues to cultivate an environment of erratic and biased application of the Kirkland Comprehensive Plan, and local and

state codes. The city council drags out “vision” when it’s convenient and sounds good, and then tosses it aside when a bully developer wants to put the Bellevue stamp on the city with a project that will never deliver on the propaganda and hype that was used to sell it.

news business has resolved — there were the truly important stories. Those are the ones I didn’t write. Part of those thoughts developed from a visit my wife and I made to some new houses on Rose Hill in about 2004. The houses were cute. They looked like cottages. They also got all sorts of special breaks to allow them to be built, like 2,000-square-foot lots. As we went through one of them, I noticed a gas stove in the living room. Then I noticed there was no furnace. The entire house was heated by the gas stove, which worked fine, but which also meant the builder didn’t have to invest in expensive things like ductwork. Yet when the costs were calculated, the houses came in at over $400 a square foot, even with the shared common spaces and no furnaces. How, I wondered, could this be considered affordable housing. I even asked some people about that, like my editors and Larry Phillips, chair of the King County Council. The general answer was that it was all part of the new economy, or probably the state Growth Management Act, which restricted the supply of land. Seattle was special. The richest guy in the world lived a couple of miles away, in Medina. The Internet was changing the world. In 1992, Fortune magazine put that richest guy, Bill Gates, and Seattle Mayor Norm Rice and others on its cover, naming
