Census: Kirkland will be state’s 12th-largest city after annexation in June BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

Initial numbers from the 2010 Census having to do with ethnicity and population were released last week. And while Washington state saw a huge 71 percent increase in its Hispanic population and general population growth of 14.1 percent, Kirkland’s overall population grew at a steady 8.3 percent. The biggest growth came in Kirkland’s Asian population with an increase of 4.5 percent of the total population and the smaller Hispanic population nearly doubled. Kirkland grew from 45,054 in 2000 to 48,787 in 2010, an increase of 7.7 percent. The percentage of those identifying themselves as white dropped by 6 percent while those identifying themselves as black or African American increased by just 0.2 percent. The hispanic population in Kirkland only grew by 2.2 percent.

But the numbers also tell another story, how large Kirkland will be after annexation takes effect on June 1 when the neighborhoods of Kingsgate, FinnHill and North Juanita are incorporated. The Census names the Finn Hill neighborhood as Finn Hill/Inglewood. Inglewood is the north side of Finn Hill and technically runs down into Kenmore. But for the 2010 Census the Finn Hill/Inglewood neighborhood numbers do not include the areas in Kenmore, however they do include a small area that will be annexed into Bothell. Furthermore, the Finn Hill/Inglewood numbers also cover the area east to I-405, known to local residents as unincorporated North Juanita. The Finn Hill/Inglewood and Kingsgate Census numbers show a combined population of 35,772. The numbers back up the City of Kirkland’s estimates on

thriving in Kirkland. “This is just more upscale,” said Rouse. “My business is climbing every week. I even have repeat customers.” Many of the vendors were business owners that had merchandise in storage lockers after not being able to afford rent for their storefront. Some vendors, like Khaleel Grant, were new to business and used the Kirkland flea market as a start-up opportunity. Grant, who owns Chance’s Used Furniture and Housewares, said his sales have “jumped by one-third each week. It’s a great startup opportunity. There’s no other options like this in Kirkland.” One of the vendors had sold everything in their storage space during the past month. Others are living in their cars and Rudowicz and Grammer took a chance on them by allowing them to sell before paying rent for the stall, which worked out for both parties. The Bazaar became a way for many of the vendors to get back on their feet. “It just ripped my guts out that I had to tell them we’re out - we love these people,” said Rudowicz. “We want to see these 75 people make it. I have a conscience.”

Kirkland adopts school impact fees, phasing begins June 1 Following a public hearing at its Feb. 15 meeting, the Kirkland City Council unanimously approved implementing a school impact fee program beginning June 1. The council also approved an Interlocal Agreement between the city and Lake Washington School District for administering the collection, distribution, and expenditure of the fees. School impact fee programs assume that residential

growth and development should pay a proportionate share of the cost of school facilities needed to serve the new growth and development. Kirkland’s program provides for a three year “ramp up” in which impact fees will be applied at 50 percent of the district’s estimated fee of $6,250 for single-family units and $1,732 for multi-family units in the first year (June 1 through Feb. 29, 2012), 80 percent in the second year (March 1, 2012 through Feb. 28, 2013), and 100 percent in the third year (after Feb. 28, 2013). The city’s program was developed cooperatively between the

city, LWSD, Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties, Seattle-King County Realtors, the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce and local builders. “This was an outstanding example of Kirkland stakeholders coming together and working hard to find common ground,” noted Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett. “Everyone was equally committed to the success of our schools while being sensitive to the impacts of the development industry that bears the cost of the new fee. The phased approach meets both of these objectives.”

EDITOR’S NOTE

s a community source of information, we get many e-mails and phone calls from readers asking us questions of all sorts. Some inquiries relate to a story or news item we published and we can answer them in a snap. Other questions are not so easy. One such question came up last fall when a reader was upset about neighbors that blow or rake their leaves into the street. He asked: “Are there any laws or city guidelines on the subject?” We turned to the City of Kirkland for an answer. We found out the city does have a code (Kirkland Municipal Code 11.64.050) that prohibits a person from sweeping or depositing any litter, refuse or rubbish into a city street, gutter or public place. Another reader asked us what code stipulates that the city manager should live in Kirkland. According to city officials, RCW 35A.13.050 contains provisions for city manager qualifications. Among them is that the city manager “need not be a resident at the time of his/her appointment, but shall reside in the code city after his/her appointment unless such a residence is waived by the council.” We would like to be able to answer all the questions we receive, but sometimes we need some help. The Reporter is partnering with the city to offer an “Ask the City” section that will allow readers to ask questions that relate to a city program, service, project or code. Send us your questions and the city will provide you with an answer. Questions will be answered on a space-available basis. Please send questions to: letters@kirklandreporter.com.

Churches, schools should teach sex education Thank you for the letter by Mr. Larry Knapp in the Feb. 28 issue of the Reporter (“Abortion should be safe, legal and rare”). The author explained very clearly why I donated money to Planned Parenthood for many years. That question has always vexed me. Of course, abortion should always be available to those who are desperate enough to need

them. Of course, sex education should be taught in the schools. Of course, the churches should back off (and perhaps teach sex education in church). How double-minded churches have been to bar sex education from youth and to tell them to back off from sex. Teenagers aren’t stupid. They recognize the double speak. My son always knew he could call home whenever necessary. Like Mr. Knapp’s children, that never happened. You see, I trusted him. As a reverse, he trusted me.

Brenda Rogers, Kirkland

Fire District working to improve response times for emergencies We have been working nearly eight years on a proposal to improve life-saving fire and emergency medical service in the Finn Hill Jim Lloyd area. The proposal is to consolidate the service areas of two fire stations (stations 24 and 25) into one that would deliver better service, save money and meet current national standards. Station 25 was built 50 years ago when Finn Hill was mostly rural and is now located too far south and west to meet current response time standards for east Finn Hill and the north part of the district. Station 24 on 84th N.E. could serve those areas, but revenue shortfalls have resulted in the elimination of daytime staff and will end stipends to the volunteers who staff the station at night. We have wrestled with three choices: accept the reduction in services and do nothing; consolidate services at Finn Hill Jr. High School at a premium cost; or build at a less expensive, flat site in Big Finn Hill

Park and add a new amenity for park users. We spent a lot of time and work to find that the Finn Hill Jr. High site’s terrain (steep slopes and wetlands) would make it very expensive to build there. It would be over $1 million more than if we choose the Big Finn Hill Park site. Although we haven’t made a final decision to even build a station, we haven’t found any other site close enough to Juanita Drive and the center of Finn Hill that isn’t either more expensive to purchase or to build on due to the terrain. King County’s Big Finn Hill Park is part of a major trail system that includes St. Edwards State Park and is on the west side of Juanita Drive. Unfortunately, the county lacks funding to build a parking lot, so mountain bikers park at QFC or compete for spaces in the crowded lots near the ball fields on the east side of Juanita Drive. Last year we began exploring the possibility of using 1.8 acres of this 218-acre park for a fire station and a joint parking area available for trail users. After the experience with unexpected costs on the school site, we wanted to know more about the

feasibility of such a project before getting too far into planning. So, we directed investigations into possible restrictions due to wetlands, traffic engineering, zoning, utilities, stormwater run-off and soil conditions. We asked our architect to provide a feasible site lay-out and cost estimates and held discussions with King County Parks and the city about partnering. This preliminary investigation has brought us to a point where we can explain it to the public. The Big Finn Hill Park site is an option only if we can avoid the kind of expensive and invasive work needed at the junior high site. We stopped considering the school site when projected costs reached more than $4.5 million. We have $1 million in reserves and would sell the two Toby Nixon stations to help pay for most of the new station costs. If we move forward with the park site, we are committed to a low-impact design and a building positioned so all of the trees and natural

vegetation along Juanita Drive, and as many significant trees and natural vegetation as possible, are preserved and augmented with native plants. While the recent focus has been on the potential site for a new fire station, the real issue is whether we want to give firefighters and medics a new advantage in reaching us in time when we need their help. We know there will be trade-offs with any site that is chosen, but we agree with the Kirkland Fire Chief and favor strategically locating a new station to improve response times. We want to hear from all residents and businesses in Fire District 41. We have briefed the Kirkland City Council twice and last December met with the Denny Creek Neighborhood Alliance and the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance about the possibility of the station at the park site. We invite the public to attend a public open house to learn more at 7 p.m. March 8 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Kirkland Stake Center, at 132nd and Juanita Drive.

Jim Lloyd, Richard Krogh and Toby Nixon are commissioners of Fire District 41.

Eastside transportation bills moving through the Legislature BY NAT LEVY Reporter Newspapers

T

wo sets of transportation bills in the state Legislature that would have significant effects on Eastside traffic are moving closer to passage in the House and Senate. Senate Bill 5700 authorizes the setting of variable toll rates on the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge to pay for the cost of replacing the SR-520 route across Lake Washington. House Bill 1382 mandates the construction of highoccupancy toll lanes (HOT) – where solo drivers would pay to use carpool lanes on Interstate 405 from Northeast Sixth Street in Bellevue to Lynnwood. A similar situation is in place on State Route 167 between Auburn and Renton. The SR-520 bill has already made it through the Senate, and was passed out of the House Transportation Committee 20-7 Feb. 24.

Woodmark offers new cooking class series Chef de Cuisine R. Paul Hyman of bin on the lake and Executive Chef Darren McNally of The Woodmark Hotel will offer behind-thescenes culinary tips and seasonal recipes for adults and children during its new seasonal cooking class series. Hyman will host a series of adult cooking classes in the restaurant’s kitchen on select Saturdays. Upcoming classes include Study in Risotto on March 26; Braising Basics,

A similar bill failed need to replace the bridge. to get out of the Senate last

year because of confusion over how the concept would operate. Legislators spent the next year scrutinizing the plan, and an expert review panel approved the concept in November. Clibborn said this year’s bill has a much better chance of passing because of broad participation from Eastside city representatives who served on the committee. “There’s a lot more support along the corridor,� she said, while noting “there’s still some people who just don’t like HOT lanes.� HOT lane proposals on I-405 have received consistent criticism from a group of former legislators. Members of the Eastside Transportation Association have said the concept will create a tiered system that costs too much for the average single driver to buy into, leading to overly congested general purpose lanes, and open, if not empty HOT lanes. The bill is part of a larger plan to implement HOT

original $2 billion plan is at least $600 million short. But the Legislature has more time to discuss issues within HB 1382, as it doesn’t have the same time sensitivity for implementation as the 520 bill. “It’s not as critical that we get it done as quickly,� Clibborn said. “With 5700, we’re trying to do it quickly because we have early tolling to get started.�

Critics have also pointed out the lack of decision within the bill to decide whether cars will need to have two or three occupants to use the HOT lanes freely.

largest city in the state. Finn Hill/Inglewood will contribute 22,707, while Kingsgate will contribute

13,065. Kirkland’s Asian population increased during the past 10 years from 3,512

to 5,490, or by 36 percent. Hispanics grew from 1,852 to 3,085, or by 40 percent, while blacks or African Americans

went from 717 to 855, or by 16.2 percent. Finn Hill/Inglewood’s biggest increase came from its Hispanic population that grew from 860 to 1,455, or by 41 percent. The Asian population was the largest minority at 8.8 percent of the total population, growing from 1,435 in 2000 to 1,994 in 2010, or by 28 percent. Blacks or African Americans grew from 307 to 387, or by 21 percent. The Kingsgate neighborhood’s Hispanic population increased from 690 to 1,232, or by 44 percent, but the Asian population grew the most of any ethnicity as a percentage of total population. During the past decade the Asian population increased from 1,413 to 2,110, or by 33 percent, while blacks or African Americans increased from 194 to 232, or by 17 percent. Kingsgate has the largest growth in minorities out of the three areas during the past 10 years with a 27 percent increase. The overall number of whites incrementally increased in Kirkland and Kingsgate during the past decade, but actually decreased in Finn Hill/Inglewood by 551 people, or by 3.9 percent. House Bill 1336 that is currently before the Legislature could allow the City of Kirkland to use these numbers from the federal census, as opposed to taking a recount after annexation. The measure, which could save the city $225,000, was introduced by Kirkland Councilmember Bob Sternoff and Rep. Larry Springer. The Census Bureau will be releasing more statistics in the coming weeks, including housing, income levels and employment data. For more information, visit www. census.gov.

and stop paying rent� motivated them to buy, according to the Wall Street Journal. Another influence was the desire for more living space. According to the Wall Street Journal the survey reported that 28% of the respondents said, “They bought a house because they wanted more living space or a larger property.� However, 11% of those surveyed said that “potential financial growth� motivated them to purchase a home. This response is similar to the answers received in the survey’s first year (2005) when respondents answered the question, “What motivated you to purchase your home at this time?� A sharp drop (12%) was reported by respondents who said they bought a house in 2010 due to relocation. The figure was the same as 2009. However, it’s a decrease from 20% in 2008. Real estate experts believe that buyers are still motivated by the potential financial growth, but indeed a good value in the form of low interest rate and discounted home prices is the driving force these days. So, if you are listing your home for sale, focus on value. Detailed marketing materials that showcase your home’s amenities, walking-distance to retail

he Wall Street Journal is reporting that “affordability� is the top reason for home buying in 2010. That makes sense, especially in unstable market conditions. Buyers, as always, are looking for a bargain but more than ever, they’ve been enticed by low home prices and low interest rates, according to surveys conducted by National Association of Realtors. According to the National Association of Home Builders, 72.1% of all homes sold during the third quarter of 2010 were classified as “affordable� for someone making the nation’s median income of $64,400. That number is down just slightly from the mark of 72.5% set in the first quarter of 2009, and was the seventh straight quarter in which it remained over 70% nationwide – a mark it has never reached before last year. The NAHB says that before 2009, the index only rarely hit 65%. What about pride in home ownership? It appears that buying a home because they didn’t want to rent, was not the driving force. Instead, it came down to price. This differs from survey results five years ago when respondents (26%) said, “the desire to own their home

Light up your house as much as possible when showing or holding an open house. Even if you typically keep the shades drawn, open them up, turn on light fixtures and, if you have skylights, make sure they’re clean. Value increases for buyers the more they can see themselves living in your home. So, make it cozy, comfortable, and attractive. In the bathrooms, hang color-coordinated towels; some fresh flowers in a vase. And if the walls are scuffed, try using a Magic Eraser. If that doesn’t work, touch up the paint or paint the entire bathroom. In the dining room or the kitchen, set the table, but don’t overdress the table. Too much stuff on a table makes it look crowded, small, and can be a turn-off. Remember, selling your home is about creating value for buyers. That means how you live in your home is probably NOT the way you would want to show your home. You may have to put away a lot of the clutter such as trinkets, family photos, pet toys, electrical cords, kids’ toys, and anything else that is personal to you. On top of that, a preinspection and staging is critical in creating an emotional value to your home. By doing this you’ll create a greater chance of buyers viewing your home as theirs. And

that’s how the value gets the buyer to come forward with an offer so you can set off to other adventures. Lastly, “Consumer sentiment, ticked up to the highest level since June,� said Frank Nothaft, vice president and chief economist for Freddie Mac. “The housing market is showing some potential gains as well. Median house prices showed positive annual growth in 77 out of 155 metropolitan areas in the third quarter of this year, with 11 exhibiting double-digit increases, according the National Association of Realtors; only 30 cities experienced positive annual gains in the third quarter of 2009.� In fact, those price improvements may continue this next year. Fannie Mae’s recently released 2011 forecast shows they should continue to rebound. According to the report, Fannie Mae anticipates that home prices will increase by 0.5 percent in 2011, and then jump by 4.3 percent in 2012 as the recovery gains steam. So buyers, get on out there and enjoy the incredible affordability of today’s market before it’s too late!

What You Need To Know When Replacing Windows (NAPSI)—Your home is a major investment and replacing outdated, inefficient windows can be an important step in protecting that investment. New windows can lower your heating and cooling bills, block harmful UV rays, reduce exterior noise and increase a home’s resale value. Replacement windows come in a variety of styles and materials, the most popular of which are steel, vinyl and wood. Besides deciding on the frame, it’s also important to consider the kind of insect-screening material that will be used. Choosing the right kind of screening can help replace some of the light that may be lost when installing energy-efficient windows. The low-e glass used in many windows today helps to save energy but it does so by reducing the amount of light transmitted through windows. Standard screen material can dim light even further. One of the advantages of screening materials such as Phifer’s UltraVue is that they improve “daylighting� by providing 25 percent more optical clarity for a crisper, brighter outward view. The second reason many experts prefer UltraVue Excellent Visibility Insect Screen is superior ventilation, because the 15 percent greater

openness provides 25 percent better airflow. The screens are also infused with Microban antimicrobial protection, helping to provide an additional level of cleanliness protection that won’t wash or wear away for the lifetime of the screen. Microban inhibits the growth of stain- and odor-causing bacteria, mold and mildew, and works continuously to keep screens cleaner for longer. The screens are Greenguard certified by the Greenguard Environmental Institute (GEI) for superior indoor air-quality performance, and certified for meeting the more stringent GEI Children and Schools standards for commercial use. All products certified by GEI must pass a series of rigorous emissions tests and undergo quarterly tests, as well as annual recertification to ensure their low emission status is maintained.

us directly, after all, and it is in dire need of funding. But there was a bill proposed last year to double the tax rate at each level, making the range 28-38 percent. It did not pass, but it could be reintroduced in the coming year. What does this mean for Washington residents? Decision time: One can specially tailor her estate plan at a higher cost now, or be prepared to give a portion in taxes to the state for anything more than 2 million at death. If you choose the latter, be forewarned that the state could raise the interest rate and nothing lasts forever. Either way, stay apprised of the laws and revise your estate-planning documents if big changes happen in your life or the laws change.

Obama Administration. One can probably rely on the same result if a Republican takes the White House in the next presidential election. Another point to consider is state estate tax. Washington state used to follow the federal exemption amount, but it “decoupled� its estate tax from the federal one several years ago and has been making some moves to raise the tax rate. Currently, RCW 83.100.040 sets the Washington state estatetax exemption at anything below 2 million. But above 2 million will be taxed at a rate of 14 percent until it reaches 3 million where the tax rate inches up as the amount increases, topping out at 19 percent on anything above 9 million. These tax rates are not nearly as burdensome as the federal, and they may not raise the ire quite as profoundly as a federal tax rate does. The state supports

ESTATE PLANNING

To the great relief of many an estate planning attorney, Congress settled the estatetax issue before the sunshine provision snapped the exemption rate back to 1 million and 55 percent in 2011. They enacted a bill that set the new exemption at 5 million and lowered the tax rate from 45 percent to 35 percent. This means that if you have an estate of less than 5 million, there would be no estate tax taken from your estate federally. Anything above 5 million would be taxed at a 35 percent rate. There remain considerations with estate tax. The new federal provisions are only for two years. It is, again, a mystery what Congress will do after these two years. The wise and willing usually conclude that the exemption will not be placed below 3.5 million, and that does seem to be the trend with the

Kindergarten readiness and developing literacy at home propriately in a group setting? Can they follow directions and stay on task for teacher-directed activities? These are the basics for a good beginning to formal education. The child that can’t control themselves socially, or feels socially isolated, or is disruptive, or can’t stay on task, isn’t set up to succeed Karen Hergert

PARENTING 101

When kindergarten teachers ask about what they need to see for a well-prepared kindergartner, it’s not how many letters and numbers they know. It’s how well do they conduct themselves in a classroom? Can they make friends? Resolve social conflict? Participate ap-

educationally no matter how well they know the alphabet or their numbers. Preparation for future classroom readiness with regards to social and emotional skills is most likely to occur in a classroom format. Enrolling your young child in a toddler group or preschool where appropriate classroom skills are being taught is probably your first step. There are many great programs to

choose from. To create interest and skill in literacy at home, the best thing is to consistently model reading and writing. Let them draw scribbles that look like writing whenever you have an excuse such as having them add “their words� to a letter to grandma. Even if they can’t write yet, if you have them mimic writing and then ask them what it says, they begin to absorb the idea that you can communicate through writing. Get them

Make it fun, make it natural. Don’t force it on children at this age. A very young child who is forced to learn past their natural interest level learns to hate learning and shuts down. Life long learners love learning for it’s own sake. It’s an adventure, not a chore. When do you worry about the kid who doesn’t like homework or writing? First grade is when study habits and work-ethic development needs to be modeled and enforced. Good study habits take a long time to develop, and parents need to set the stage for their children’s success by being tuned into their child’s homework and study expectations at school. Parents also need to follow up to make sure that children are meeting those expectations on a regular basis. Assign times for your child to do their homework after school. Set up a place for them to work and make sure the TV is turned off. Don’t schedule too many extra curricular activities that sabotage their time/energy/focus from completing their school work. Be available to help, but don’t do it for them.

Like the youth of the 1960’s who expressed themselves with long hair and funky clothes, today’s teens are using body marking to express their individuality.

Rad Racing NW starts partnership with Kirkland Consulting firm R

evel Consulting has long held the belief that being involved in the community is not only important, but an integral part of its business. With those beliefs in mind, the Kirkland-based company has partnered with Rad Racing Northwest, a premier youth cycling organization on the Eastside. As part of its sustainable giving program, Revel Consulting recently began working with Rad Racing in one of the company’s newest partnerships. “Rad Racing is really a premier – one of the best in the country – youth cycling group, it was a natural synergy,” said Brett Alston, the managing partner and co-founder of Revel. “It’s really exciting,” said Jim Brown, executive director of Rad Racing NW. “They are so motivated and excited to work with us. On consulting they are going to help with PR, marketing and planning. They have the power to help get our names out there and create opportunities.” Rad Racing, which will now be called Revel Consulting/Rad Racing NW, is the longest running team in the area, founded in 1998, and has produced some of the top cyclists in the country during that time. The team consists of road, track and cyclocross racing, and currently includes 28 kids on its 2011 roster in two age groups. While Revel will be helping the team out financially, which will help with equipment and travel costs, Rad Racing’s

Cyclocross, a combination of road and mountain bike racing is one of the three racing areas that Rad Racing Northwest participates in. Photo courtesy of Rad Racing leadership knows based on Revel’s work with other local groups, the partnership is more than just a financial one. The coupling is another way Revel is bringing to life sustainable giving, the idea of helping the community grow, along with its Pure consulting ideology, which focuses on connecting clients and the consultants to the community. “Sustainable giving is part of our DNA,” said Alston. “It’s really a part of

our fabric, an opportunity from the top down to give back to the community and continue to expand part of our core.” Revel has partnered with several other local groups, including Treehouse and helps organize the Foster Kids 5k race, which raises money to send foster children to Royal Family Kids Camps. While financially helping the organizations it partners with, Alston said it’s of primary importance that Revel is involved on a personal level. Work with Treehouse has included not only helping

with their social media presence, but also working in the warehouse helping to sort donations, he said. “Working with Treehouse has been phenomenal,” said Alston. “We’ve helped in a variety of ways and in their warehouse.” The racing season for Rad Racing riders will begin heavily later this month, Brown said, with the start of the road schedule, giving the racers a chance to stretch their legs for the first time this season. Then once the weather clears and stays consistent, riders will hit the velodrome for the track season, followed by cyclocross, a combination of road and mountain biking, in September. Brown said the age group of 8 to 10-year-olds are in the Rad Racing’s Young Guns group, which is dedicated to getting the kids into the sport and helping them develop the passion for cycling. “It’s critical the kids are having fun,” said Brown. “You have to create a love for the sport.” The junior team represents the older group of cyclists, and is focused on their efforts and commitment to racing at a higher level. The junior team travels to races, including regionals and nationals, when they are ready, said Brown. “They are phenomenal kids,” said Alston. “It takes a lot to organize it all. What a life skill for these kids to have.” Later this spring the team will head to the Enumclaw Stage Race, Brown said, one of the biggest local events of its kind.

Transport user fee program now in effect The Kirkland Fire Department has initiate its Basic Life Support (BLS) Transport User Fee Program. The program was established to create a sustainable revenue source to support essential medical services and provides for the reimbursement to the city for the cost of an ambulance ride. The program applies to patients who are transported by the City of Kirkland Fire Department to a medical facility. The city will bill persons who are transported by the Fire Department from within the City of Kirkland and King County Fire District No. 41 service areas. Persons without insurance will

be billed for the full fee but may be eligible for financial assistance. The transport fee is $600 plus $14 per mile. For program details, go to www.ci.kirkland.wa.us/emstransport. “No one will ever be denied service based upon ability to pay or whether they have health insurance,” noted Fire Chief Kevin Nalder. “Ambulance transport is a standard service covered by insurance companies and we estimate that more than 90 percent of patients we transport have health insurance.” If a patient requires Advanced Life Support treatment and transport, the user fee will not apply as those services in King County are provided regionally and fully funded by the voter-approved King County EMS (Medic One) levy.

90 percent of colon cancers appear in people 50 or older. Colorectal cancers are the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. And while we don’t know why some people develop this type of cancer and others don’t, we do know that often there are few or no symptoms. That’s why doctors recommend that once you turn 50, you should schedule a colonoscopy. The best news about a colonoscopy—besides the fact that you’ll probably sleep right through it—is that should your doctor find a polyp, its painless removal now may help prevent cancer in the future. So if you’re over 50, have a parent or sibling with colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer, or suffer from inflammatory bowel disease, check with your primary care physician if colorectal cancer screening is appropriate for you. Sure, it may not be the gift you wanted, but it’s one of the best presents you can give yourself. To schedule your appointment, call the Minor & James Gastroenterology department at (206) 386-9615.
