Part 2: The fall of Totem Lake Malls BY MATT PHELPS AND CARRIE WOOD Kirkland Reporter

F

ormer Kirkland resident Matt Harding described the Totem Lake Malls as “some kind of gateway to the netherworld.” Harding became an internet sensation for dancing in different places all over the world, including 42 different countries, and posting the videos on YouTube. The lower mall was the “most depressing place I’ve ever been. I almost didn’t make it out,” he wrote in his Web site FAQ (www.wherethehellismatt.com). He visited the malls on his lunch break a few years ago. “My memory of it is cloudy and probably exaggerated,” said Harding, who now lives in Seattle. “I just remember it being empty and concrete. They were playing some old musac inside and it was bouncing off the walls and echoing. It was moribund.” Others in recent years have dubbed the malls as the “white elephant,” “albatross around the city’s neck” and the “sleeping giant.” The malls have also gained national notoriety for being one of the worst in America on several consumer Web sites, including www. thesledgehammer. com and www.deadmalls.com. Many locals say there’s been an apparent lack of attention given to the languishing Totem Lake Malls

Next week In part three of the five part series, the Reporter will profile the Malls’ ownership and the lawsuit between them.

Kirkland could lose sales tax credit for annexation BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

The state’s budget woes have had far reaching effects for everything from the state ferry system to health insurance. But the effects may also hit Kirkland and the annexation

of the Kingsgate, Finn Hill and Juanita neighborhoods. The city is preparing for the possibility of receiving less or none of the promised state sales tax credit that will help pay for

the transition. The potential impacts range from diminished services to the city, to deferring the annexation date. However, city officials feel it is highly unlikely. “It would be worse if

we did not prepare for the possibility,” said Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride. “There is no indication that the funds are in danger.” The issue was a point of concern at the Kirkland City Council meeting [ more TAX CREDIT page 5 ]

- even in the fine details. On the malls’ own Web site, the headline is titled: Totem Lakes Mall. This week the Reporter will look at what led to the demise of the once-bustling economic engine of Kirkland during the second part of the five-part series on one of the most important pieces of real estate in the city.

One big bankruptcy Seventy stores populated Totem Lake Malls when they opened in 1973-74. The malls grew during the rest of the decade and on into the early 1980s to more than 80 stores. Currently, there are just 27 businesses in the same area. What led to such a drastic change? One of the biggest contributing factors to the malls’ downfall occurred in 1996 when the Pay N’ Save Corp. went bankrupt. The bankruptcy triggered the loss of Ernst, Pay N’ Save and eventually Lamont’s. “It was a happening mall when we had Ernst and Lamont’s and rarely a vacancy,” said John Fleshman, who owns Denny’s Pet World in the upper mall. “When it (the mall) was owned locally, those were the best years without [ more DECLINE page 20 ]

Mother fights to fund research, find cure for son’s degenerative muscle disease

Don’t bother giving Brian Colella’s mother a gift – it may end up going to someone else. So before Brian came home recently to visit from Korea where he teaches English, he thought about what to get for his mother, Terry. “It’s kind of a joke that there’s no point in trying to give my mom a gift because she’ll just take it and put it into the auction,� said Brian, 23. “I’m looking around like what would be a good auction item to bring home because I know that she would rather have that than have something for herself.� On a recent afternoon, the mother-of-four walks through the downstairs of her Kirkland home that is packed with dozens of acrylic and oil paintings,

wine bottles, granite rock vases, French serving platters, gift baskets, books and more. Terry’s downstairs has become a storage for items up for bid at her annual auctions she hosts to fund research for Brian’s degenerative muscular disease, FSHD (Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy). This year marks the 7th Annual “FiSHing for a Cure Gala� dinner and auction, which will be held on Saturday, Jan. 29 at the Bellevue Hyatt. To date, the auctions have raised more than $1.2 million that has funded groundbreaking research for the disease. Terry started her nonprofit organization, Friends of FSH Research, after her son was diagnosed with FSHD in 2004.

Terry wouldn’t buy any of it.

Terry Colella and husband, Rick, founded Friends of FSH Research to fund research for their son’s degenerative muscle disease. CONTRIBUTED “The specialists – all of whom were very sure of their diagnosis – all had varying degrees of inaccuracies,� she said, noting that symptoms

are so varied in people with FSHD that the disease is often misdiagnosed. “As a mom and nurse, I pretty [ more FIGHT page 4 ]

In the 5th grade, Brian wanted to join band, but his band teacher said his mouth muscles were not strong enough to play the trumpet. “We just thought he had this rosebud-shaped mouth,� said Terry, who worked as a labor and delivery nurse at Overlake Hospital for nearly 20 years “Retrospectively, had we known, that (his disease) would have told us why.� During his sophomore year at International Community School, Brian joined the Sammamish Rowing Association, rowing after school and in competitions throughout the year. For practice, the team competed on a rowing machine at the gym. No matter how hard he tried, Brian would not get stronger on it, Terry recalled. Later that year, Brian was wrestling with his sister, Mariel, and his mother noticed a strange protrusion of his arm muscles. That prompted her to set an appointment with the doctor.

“It’s like you’re just going to keep going to be told how you’re doing or how you’re starting to get weaker because there’s no treatment or cure,� she said. “There’s no physical therapy program that will enhance anything – nothing.� After extensive Internet searches, Terry also found there was also not much going on in the way of research for the disease.

Terry read about a woman with a lung condition whose family put on auctions every year to raise money for the Lamb Foundation. “So I thought, I could do that,� she said. Brian decided to write a letter that went out to all the families at his school, raising awareness about FSHD. Meanwhile, Terry left her job as a nurse and formed Friends of FSH Research, a volunteer-run charity committed to finding a treatment or cure for FSHD. “I’m doing it for my own sanity as much as everything else,� she said of her non-profit. “It’s helped

But it would be a real challenge without the sales tax credit.” The end result could be anything from receiving the entire sales tax credit that was promised to just a reduction, to a deferral, to shortening the time span the city receives the funds, which is set at 10 years, to the elimination of the funds altogether. City staff is not recommending to the council a deferral of the annexation date. All of the financial planning scenarios for annexation assumed annual revenue of approximately $3.4 million. Gov. Chris Gregoire’s initial budget, which addresses the state shortfall, does not include a reduction of the sales tax credit, according to city documents. “We are pleased that she has left it in the budget,” said Triplett, who has testified in front of the Local Governments Committee on the issue. “The reason for the sales tax credit is that these areas don’t pay for themselves.

Don’t let state shirk its duty

Question of the week: “Would you be disappointed if annexation was deferred or services were reduced thanks to state budget cuts?”

?

Vote online: www.kirklandreporter.com

Last week’s poll results: “Are you satisfied with the current state of Totem Lake Malls?”

hey’ve barely finished counting the votes on I-1053 and already Gov. Chris Gregoire is trying to get out from under its restrictions. She now wants to change the operation of the state ferry system. It’s another case of the state ducking its responsibility and should be rejected by the Legislature. I-1053 is the initiative approved by the voters in November that requires that the Legislature approve higher tax or fee increases. The idea is that the public can then hold someone accountable if they don’t like the decision. What Gregoire wants to do is create a Puget Sound Regional Ferry District to operate the ferry system (see story, page 7). Doing this would take much of the cost of running the ferries off the state’s back and put it on residents from nine counties. It would be similar to what we have with Sound Transit. The ferry system has problems. It has lost more than $1.2 billion since 1999 when the voters tossed out the motor vehicle excise tax. And, as costs rise, the state is increasingly on the hook to make up the difference with the system facing a $900 million shortfall over the next 10 years. Gregoire heralds her move as a “bold action” to make sure the system is sustainable, but since when did passing the buck become a bold move. Gregoire added that “a regional district will give the communities and families who depend on the ferries the stability and control they

deserve.” That, and a hefty tax hike. The ferry system can be perfectly sustainable if the state does its job and controls the costs of the operation and then makes paying the bills a priority. However, it’s a tough budget year, hence the move to dump the bills on someone else. The governor’s plan is to include the residents of King, Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish and Pierce counties in the regional district. The district’s funds would come from fares, a state subsidy to fund a core level of service, and regional taxing authority to ensure service levels are consistent with local

and regional needs. The last time we looked, the ferry system was considered part of the state’s highway system. Given that, everyone should help pay for them, just as people in western Washington pay for state highways on the other side of the mountains. Dumping state programs onto the backs of local residents isn’t the answer to the state’s financial ills. The governor and Legislature need to prioritize government by spending our tax money first on the most important things. If ferries are important – and we think they are – then pay for them and cut less important things.

Realtors understand the importance of excellent schools. They are a priority for most homebuyers. The quality of schools in a district is often the first thing house hunters ask us about. We also understand budgets and fiscal responsibility, particularly for prospective homeowners, and particularly during these challenging economic times. Maintaining high-caliber schools and demonstrating prudent management are key factors whenever the Seattle King County Realtors consider a request for endorsing a levy or bond measure. Such endorsements must be requested by a school district representative or association member, and they must be approved by a supermajority of members of our Governmental and Public Affairs Committee. (If approved by a majority, but not a supermajority at a GAC meeting, the motion is referred to SKCR’s Board of Directors.) When Superintendent Chip Kimball and Realtor Kerri Nielsen, representing the Lake Washington Citizens Levy Committee, attended

our GAC meeting in December, they presented a compelling case for endorsement of a $65.4 million funding request to help address overcrowding. Lake Washington School District not only earned high marks, it also garnered a unanimous vote for endorsement. The LWSD capital facility levy on the Feb. 8 ballot deserves a “yes” vote. As the author of a recent letter to the editor noted, the district’s overcrowding is in part a reflection of its own success. Academic performance is one important measure of success – and a measure realtors value. LWSD outperformed all other districts in the state when measured by the Washington Achievement Awards. These awards, presented collaboratively with the State Board of Education, celebrate schools for overall excellence and special recognition in language arts, math, science, graduation rate and gifted education. Lake Washington schools earned more awards than any other district in the state; the recognition included Kristen Greenlaw

Realtors urge yes vote on LWSD levy

MY TURN

You said it!

10 schools that received accolades for overall excellence. Our members were also impressed by rising scores on tests that assess a student’s readiness for college. These scores show LWSD is bucking the downward trend being reported elsewhere in the state and nation. On the fiscal front, there’s no denying the budget challenges are daunting. Nevertheless, LWSD administrators and leaders engaged the public through polling and public forums to identify possible solutions for addressing acute overcrowding and anticipated growth. Steps have been taken to use existing facilities more efficiently. The levy pursues funding for permanent space to address immediate needs to ease overcrowding at Eastlake and Redmond high schools. Levy funds will also pay for a small secondary school to be located on property already owned by the district. It would serve all district students, with curriculum focused on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Classrooms in some areas may still become larger than desired, but the “fixes” outlined in the levy will go a long way in preserving

excellence – and in preserving property values. Many studies show a strong correlation between good schools and high property values. As a realtor whose office is in the district, I can confirm what two national magazines recognized about communities within LWSD, based on their own research. Business Week picked Redmond first in the state on its list of 2010 “Best Places to Raise Your Kids.” School test scores were one of four criteria that weighed especially high on the evaluations. Forbes conducted a comprehensive analysis of more than 17,000 cities and towns across the country and ranked Sammamish second on its 25 “Best Schools for Your Housing Buck.” While we can take pride in such recognition, we should be more proud of the long history of support voters have given LWSD. Quality schools are critical for economic vitality and job creation. Excellent schools are paramount to the futures of our students. We are urging our members in the district to vote yes for LWSD kids. We hope you will join us.

Our Juanita High School PTSA Board of Directors supports the Feb. 8 capital levy that would build additional classroom space and a new school in our district. We do not want the Lake Washington School District to redirect bond money set aside for the modernization of Finn Hill Junior High, Sandburg Elementary or the other nine schools to go to the building of additional classroom space for students in other parts of the school district. This is robbing Peter to pay Paul. Why should any one group of students suffer for the sake of another group? All students in the district are deserving of excellent school facilities. We are looking forward to our school’s modernization, scheduled to begin in 2014. We will need the support of voters to pass an initiative to fund the nine schools scheduled for modernization in Phase 3, including Juanita High School and Kamiakin Junior High. And the problems we see in Juanita High School’s building are related to structural issues and not due to deferring maintenance. The biggest issue is the lack of space in classrooms, storage areas, gym locker rooms, and in the resource rooms for students who have special education needs. Also, many classrooms do not have windows and the school’s gas furnace does not have the power to sufficiently heat

Controversy paints Triplett into corner The controversy surrounding City Manager Kurt Triplett paints him into a corner that is completely unjustified for a very honorable person. He would have been fully within his rights to accept the housing relocation bonus he was offered and move to Kirkland. However, in the spirit of the financial time, he declined and hoped the housing market would rebound. It did not. The money is being allocated to Mr. Triplett in a monthly payment. These facts seem to have completely been missed by the people who have been so outraged by the compensation package. Yes, we are in tough times. But who better to lead us out than such a competent and proven manager. Kirkland is very fortunate to have Mr. Triplett working on our behalf. He should be embraced with open arms for our good fortune.

Gov. Christine Gregoire announced her plan to change the Washington state ferry system by creating a Puget Sound Regional Ferry District and eliminating the existing Washington State Ferries portion of WSDOT. “Our current system lacks two critical things,” Gregoire said. “A dedicated source of funding and local leadership...to oversee FERRY a well-defined mission.” The new ferry district would include Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, King and Pierce counties. According to Gregoire and a report created by the Passenger Vessel Association, privatization of the Washington state ferry system is not possible because fares would have to be raised extensively to generate a profit and people would no longer ride the ferries. The Puget Sound Regional Ferry District would be funded by fares, a state subsidy, and regional taxing authority, which Gregoire said will

be decided by the district and will only affect the nine previously mentioned counties. In 1999 when voters repealed I-695, the motor vehicle excise tax (MVET), which supported Washington State Ferries, the ferry system has lost one-fifth of ferry operational funds and three-quarters of its capital funds. Since then, the state has been bailing out Washington State Ferries by using highway funds, amounting to $760 million over the past 11 years. The ferry system has been making cuts of $28 million per year and has eliminated 35 employee positions, but will still lose $900 million over the next 10 years. “We cannot bandaid the system any longer,” Gregoire said. “We’ve taken from the highway system as much as we can.” Washington state ferries serve 23 million people per year, and Gregoire said she considers Washington state ferries to be part of our highway system. “There is no way to solve the problem unless we find ourselves a different way to do business,” Gregoire said.

DILEMMA

“The system is not financially sustainable,” said David Moseley, assistant secretary for Washington State Ferries, “It hasn’t been since the loss of the MVET...The one thing I do know is we can’t keep doing what we’re doing now. That won’t work.” Despite the major change, Gregoire said, “I don’t want anyone to think that the state is going to give up on our responsibilites.” Sens. Mary Margaret Haugen, (D-Camano Island), who is also chair of the Senate Transportation Committee, Jim Hargrove, (D-Hoquiam), Derek Kilmer, (D-Gig Harbor), Kevin Ranker, (D-San Juan Island), Tim Sheldon, (D-Potlatch) issued a release on Jan. 6 stating their opposition to the creation of a ferry district, saying: “The state’s not asking Seattle residents to pay special taxes for the tunnel or the 520 bridge. It’s not asking Spokane residents to pay special taxes for the North-South Corridor. It’s not asking Vancouver residents to pay special taxes to pay for the VancouverPortland Bridge. Our ferries are no less a part of the state highway system than these projects.”

The governor had this wonderful idea the other day. Take the mismanaged ferry system away from the state and make it the tax burden of the counties in which it operates. Or take the I-5 expansion (will there ever be one?) in Lewis County paid for by the citizens there, instead of a responsibility of the entire State of Washington Transportation budget. Nevermind the cause of the mismanagement. Now comes our Lake Washington School District with a fresh new levy in February. They want us to give them a blank check to build facilities in parts of the county where growth is projected. Why don’t we do the same thing Ms. Governor proposes? Hang the price of growth in Redmond and Sammamish on those folks, not us. We got our Taj Mahal at Lake Washington High School (without fixing up the existing structure). Let them pay for their 50year edifice from their own pockets, not ours. Maybe it is time to cut back this behemoth called LWSD and construct a much simpler one called KSD (Kirkland School District). We would not need a group of super-charged payroll administrators and giant education unions that dictate our education policy. The people could certainly find a better way to improve our kids’ math scores beyond what we have paid for the last decade or so. Why not hire an all-Chinese math department? Bring them in by the container load! Lower price, better quality. If this levy plan is so good, why does it take such an expensive promotion — four color exotic flyer, letters to the editor, attempted denial of Paul Hall’s contentions. He is an unbiased expert! I don’t believe the administration’s economic frugality comes through. “High priced” they are. We could do nicely without them or their levy. One way just would be with a smaller Kirkland School District. Another would be with publicized, aboveboard labor negotiations with the unions. Mr./Ms. Administrator - think and talk a little more about value engineering, please! You are scaring us!

all classrooms in a timely manner. We often hear our children complain about the cold, dark conditions of their classrooms in wintertime. So, we are voting yes on Feb. 8 for the capital levy and hope others will support funding the modernization of our school when the time comes.

Chemotherapy and radiation helped a bit, but not nearly enough. The worst of the news came when Andy found out that the tumor spread to the lymph nodes and the other lung, eliminating the possibility of a surgery solution. That’s when Andy, who has an MBA from Harvard Business School, along with his doctor from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, started searching for clinical trials — really his only hope to survive. He was relentless in his search and travelled all over the country to try to find something that would kill his cancer. Finally he found “that silver bullet.”

Hill’s miracle In his research, he found a mutation in three percent of lung cancer patients — all of them young, non-smoking males — where two genes “had gotten squished together and the result was that it made the cells cancerous and created this protein that allowed the cancer to grow,” Andy said. He found a clinical trial in Denver, where he grew up, that offered a pill called crizotinib for these patients. He qualified for the clinical trial and started taking the pill in October of 2009. Before taking the pill, he had a constant cough, chest pains and he had lost his

Access to Houghton Transfer Station to resume The major improvements to King County’s Houghton Transfer Station in Kirkland are nearing completion, and access to the facility by all customers will be fully restored on Jan. 24. The station, which was built more than four decades ago, has been closed to the public on weekdays since early August, when

King County began a roof improvement and mitigation project. Until Jan. 24, only customers who are account holders with the King County Solid Waste Division have access to the transfer station during weekdays. The transfer station is open to all users on weekends, however service delays should be expected, and customers are advised to use other King County solid waste transfer stations to avoid delays. The entire project will wrap up in March with the installation of a screening wall on

the south side of the transfer building that depicts an image of a natural forest similar to the forest at Bridle Trails State Park.

ou know the holiday season is over when people start talking about their New Year’s resolutions. For some, it’s almost an annual ritual. In my line of work, I get lots of new business. I also get to see old clients again, but these are reunions I never look forward to.

Setting realistic goals It has been said that nothing in the world arouses more false hope than the first hours of a diet. At the outset, everyone who decides to go on a diet or fitness program is a sure winner. That may explain why resolutions are so popular, despite their dismal track record. The truth is that, no matter how dedicated you are, sticking to any diet for the long haul is a real challenge. So, if you decide to give your weight loss goals another try this time around, be warned that there will be times when you will simply slip up – and probably more than once. If that feels too discouraging, you may want to re-examine your goals and ask yourself [ more HEALTHY page 14 ]

Four corners rule - ‘The Deal’

Dana Fykerud

particular muscles should be long, lean and useful, not big, bulky and tight. If avid runners and cyclists were to spend a third of their time on strengthening their core, they would be able to achieve better results. They would be faster, have more endurance, recover quicker, and be able to do all of these things even well into their seventies! So many of them over-use their extremities until they have tendinitis somewhere in their body. It’s completely unnecessary and totally avoidable. When you’re strong in your core, you’re lighter in your joints. It’s really that simple. So, spend time strengthening what’s in between your four corners. If your “deal� is strong, powerful, useful, dynamic, and flexible, you won’t have any trouble making your case!

it’s called the four corners rule, meaning “the deal.� Well, in Pilates, the four corners rule comes up all the time. The Pilates four corners are the shoulder bones and the hip bones. If you were to draw a line between those four points, you would have a rectangle. The area is often called the Powerhouse. All the energy is supposed to emanate from within those four corners going outward. This is hard to achieve because most of our lives are spent using our extremities. I never introduce clients to the equipment until most of their movement comes from their center. Otherwise, they’re just pulling on the straps, using force and momentum to open the spring, and that’s not Pilates. That’s something else. The extremities should be used for support and perhaps a little bit of balance, but that’s it. These

THE LIFT GIRL

I learned a lot about the term, “four corners,� when I was setting up my online business through our attorney. I don’t speak attorneyese so he had to explain it to me a few times, but then I got it. The definition of four corners: A rule holding that if a document (as a contract, deed, or will) appears on its face to be complete, no outside evidence may be used to challenge it. For example, if you had a sheet of paper with information about a subject, you could only use the information in between the four corners of that particular sheet of paper to convey your idea or point. At no time are you able to use any outside information to make your case. You had better have what “the deal� is on that sheet of paper. Otherwise, you will not achieve your goal. That’s why

2011 [ HEALTHY from page 12] what you can realistically expect to achieve.

Determine what you want Simply wanting to lose weight is a rather vague objective. Define your intentions more precisely. For example: I want to lose weight to be healthier, have more energy, be more active and so on. Or you may be in need of losing weight to deal with diabetes, high blood pressure or heart issues. Once you have identified your target, it is easier to fine-tune your strategies.

Pace yourself If you are overweight but otherwise healthy and fit, you may be able to continue your preferred eating habits but limit your portion sizes. If you manage to reduce your daily calorie intake by only 500 calories, you should be able to lose one pound per week. You can also increase your physical activity level to burn off extra calories without having to fast. In any case, make sure you don’t attempt making

. too many changes in your lifestyle all at once. Behavior modification is not something you decide to do and then you’re done. Pay attention to important cues, like boredom, frustration, anger, loneliness or stress, as well as your responses, like binge eating, alcohol or drug abuse, etc. Some bad habits die hard. You can only change them with great determination. It is crucial that you follow through with your plans, even when you struggle.

For example, if stress is an obstacle, seeking counseling or developing stress management skills on your own may be of value.

your work schedule and not disrupt your existing lifestyle too severely. If your well-intended efforts demand more of you than you can handle, you won’t be able to maintain them for long.

Getting support Most friends and families are initially quite supportive when one of their loved ones tries to make health and lifestyle improvements. But that does not always last. For example, spouses who don’t see a need for certain dietary changes for themselves may feel imposed upon. Kids may not understand why some of their favorite foods are no longer being served at the dinner table or why eating out every weekend is no longer an option. I have witnessed both husbands and wives becoming insecure or downright resentful when weight loss begins to have positive effects on their spouse’s appearance. Some of my clients have literally rediscovered their sex appeal, and in a few cases that was not good for the marriage. So be aware that it can be both exciting and scary to bring changes into your life, especially when it makes others feel inconvenienced or threatened. Don’t expect that your enthusiasm will be shared by everyone around you. Good advice is to practice careful communication. There is no doubt that asking for support can be difficult. But you need your loved ones to make it through your process, and they must know that. Good luck and happy New Year!

We welcome them all, and don’t turn anyone away.” Fees start at $325 for a 25-game season. Select programs often cost more than $2,000. A major selling point for the program is its home field, beautiful Lee Johnson Field at Peter Kirk Park. “Teams coming from other cities are in awe when they see our field,” said Beard. “We have

a lot of leagues calling and asking if they can play our teams, for the competition but also so they can play at Lee Johnson.” Teams compete against other Kirkland teams as well as those from surrounding communities, from Mountlake Terrace and Bellevue to Issaquah and Seattle. “Kids get to play with and against their friends, but they also get to see how they stack up against teams from other cities,” said Beard. “It’s really the best of both worlds. About 80 percent of our games are played on the Eastside, so players get to play a lot of baseball without doing a lot of traveling.” KBC comprises three age

divisions: Pony (ages 13-14); Colt (ages 15-16) and Palomino (ages 17-18). The Pony division offers two levels: Olympic, which is more competitive and requires a tryout, and Cascade. In addition, there is a more competitive level for 13-year-olds called Pony 13. Pony teams play on a field with 80-foot basepaths rather than the full-sized 90 feet, easing the transition from the smaller Little League diamond. Players residing in the Lake Washington School District are eligible to play. The majority of KBC players are graduates of Kirkland’s two outstanding Little League programs, Kirkland American and Kirkland National, but Redmond residents are eligible as well. Many KBC players also play on their junior high or high school baseball teams, or play other spring sports. “Every effort is made to be flexible to allow everyone to participate,” said Beard. Tryouts will take place in late January, and teams will be formed by Feb. 15. The Pony and Colt seasons start in late March and continue through early June. Palomino play starts after the school baseball season ends and extends into the summer. The Kirkland program is affiliated with PONY (Protect Our Nation’s Youth) Baseball, an international organization with tens of thousands of players across the U.S. KBC all-star teams participate in postseason PONY tournaments that can lead to the national tournament in Pennsylvania.

School levy will help to ease space issues Superintendent: Funding measure needed to address overcrowding spak@redmond-reporter.com

W

ith 600 new students entering classrooms this fall, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) student population is on the rise. District officials expect growth to continue at a rate of roughly 450 students per year, which will include more than 800 additional high school students by fall of 2012. “That’s a bit of a dilemma because we’ve run out of space,� LWSD superintendent Dr. Chip Kimball said during a public discussion at the Redmond Senior Center Monday afternoon. During the discussion, Kimball talked about the proposed six-year, $65.4 million capital projects levy that will address the issue. The levy, which is on the Feb. 8 ballot, will allow the district to build additional classrooms at Redmond and Eastlake High Schools as well as a new secondary school that will focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education. “This is a short-term fix,� Kimball said. “Unfortunately, to do this, it involves this dreaded word called ‘taxes.’� Kimball said, for a homeowner with a $500,000 house — the average amount for a house in the district’s boundaries — the levy would be about $13 a month for the duration of the six years. LWSD, which currently has a student population of about 24,560, initially proposed a $239 million bond measure in February 2010 to accommodate the growth, but with only a 56 percent approval, the measure failed to gain the supermajority of 60 percent required to pass. The district began evaluating its options and had an extensive community input process that included public meetings, online surveys and a random-sample survey, to find out what people wanted. “We wanted to hear from everyone,� Kimball said. “We find that universally, our community is supportive of schools.� While this is the case, he added that the collected

data indicated that people think the district should focus on solving shortterm problems first and wait until the economy picks up before turning to long-term solutions. This, combined with people’s concerns about creating new taxes in the current economic climate, prompted the district to propose the levy, which trustees approved in November. One difference between the levy and bond is that the bond would have meant debt as LWSD would have had to take out a loan; whereas with the levy, the district would not. Kimball said if the measure fails, something still needs to be done. He said there is the possibility of Redmond and Eastlake High Schools switching to a double shift schedule with half of the students beginning school in the early morning and half beginning in the afternoon. Double-shifting would save the district money, but Kimball said it is very disruptive as sports and other after school activities would be affected as well as families’ morning and evening (particularly dinner) schedules. Other measures include changing school zones to shift populations west, meaning more students would need to be bused farther from home. Previously approved projects to renovate school buildings in Redmond and Kirkland would also have to be put on hold as the money would need to be determined if it should be used for the additional classrooms at the high schools. With all of this at stake, several local entities such as the Redmond, Sammamish and Kirkland City Coun-

Lake Washington School District Superintendant Dr. Chip Kimbal discusses the Feb. 8 levy vote. Reporter Newspapers cils and a number of area politicians have endorsed the levy. City of Redmond Mayor John Marchione said a major reason people choose to move into an area is the school system. And with major companies such as the Microsoft Corporation and Nintendo in Redmond, the city wants to meet this need. “Good schools help build good communities,� Marchione said. “These employees want good schools for their kids.� The district’s overcrowding issue has been due to a number of factors: a recent spike in births in King County, ongoing development and home sales and younger families moving into the area. LWSD has already done a few things, including converting computer labs and specialized art and science classrooms in elementary schools to regular classrooms, adding portable classrooms and changing feeder patterns to shift some students to schools that have more space available. The district will also shift

to a K-5, 6-8, 9-12 grade configuration in fall 2012. This shift was for academic purposes, but will definitely help with the overcrowding. According to the district website (www.lwsd. org), without the shift, 21 elementary schools would not have the space to accommodate 1,561 students. “Only six elementary schools would have space available and much of this space would not be in the places needed,� the website states. “Students would need to be transported from their home schools and boundary changes would be required.� For more information about the proposed levy, visit www.lwsd.org/ News/2011-Levy.

The Washington Department of Ecology seeks public input on Kirkland’s proposed limited amendments to their existing Shoreline Master Program. Kirkland passed Resolution 4847 in November, approving miscellaneous amendments related to annexation. Kirkland needs to revise components of their shoreline program to incorporate the annexed area into their shoreline master program. The city’s Shoreline Environment Designations Map, Restoration Plan, and Cumulative Impact Analysis all need to be changed to reflect the annexed area. Some of Kirkland’s shoreline regulations are also proposed for amendment to reflect existing conditions. Ecology will decide if Kirkland’s proposed program update meets the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act and the Shoreline Master Program Guidelines. Ecology will decide whether to approve the program as is, approve the program with required changes or deny approval at this time and work on bringing the program into compliance with all applicable laws and rules. All interested parties are invited to provide comment during the public comment period through 5 p.m. Feb. 11. Submit written comments and questions to: Mr. Joe Burcar, WA State Department of Ecology, NWRO; 3190 160th Avenue SE Bellevue, WA 98008. You

Transit Center completion in February Sound Transit is nearly finished with the new Kirkland Transit Center, located on Third Street between Central Way and Kirkland Avenue. Much of the surface work, such as new curbs, sidewalks and street pavement, are now complete. In December, Sound Transit’s contractor, Bayley Construction, finished installing the median guardrails down the center of Third Street and the bus canopy on the west side of Third Street. New landscaping and irrigation is being completed on both the east and west sides of the street. Benches, lighting and pavers will also be installed in the plaza area leading to the ball field. In January, pavement markings will be added and signage installed, in addition to traffic control signal infrastructure that will be put in place at Central Way and Third Street. The single northbound lane of traffic on Third Street will continue to be maintained until the project is completed. The contractor is expected to complete the project in February, with restored bus service to the new Kirkland Transit Center in early 2011.

a doubt.” The only remaining store from the Pay N’ Save Corp. is Big 5, originally Sportswest. Lamont’s, which filled the anchor spot in the malls, was bought out by Gottschalks in 2000 and eventually closed. The loss led to many businesses vacating during the early part of this decade. A lack of steady mall ownership during this period also contributed to the free fall. Fleshman said that during the late 1990s he remembered getting a notice that his rent was late. “I knew I had sent it so I called them,” said Fleshman. “I remember the person I talked to had to ask someone in her office if they owned a mall in Washington State.” The malls had the same local ownership during the first 26 years. During

the last 13 years there have been three different ownership groups, each promising to redevelop. The changes took a dramatic shift in 1999. According to tax records, the original owners of the lower mall, Totem Lake Shopping Associates, and the upper mall, H&M Associates, sold both properties in 1998 for a combined $25.8 million. It is unclear whether the two companies were linked in any way. AMB Property LP sold the property to the California Public Employees’ Retirement System just 22 months later for $34 million - an $8.2 million profit. There has been speculation as to why the land turned such a profit. Kirkland City Planner Eric Shields theorized that “a very hot real estate market and the city preparing a comprehensive plan and zoning, which increased

development potential may have contributed.”

Attempts at redevelopment In 2006, the City of Kirkland and the current owners, Developers Diversified Realty (DDR) and Coventry Real Estate Advisors, which bought the property in 2004 for $37 million, entered into a development agreement. The city agreed to invest $15 million into the project. Some of the money was for the construction of a parking structure. According to the 2005 Conceptual Master Plan, the city cited the malls’ underperformance, ideal location and value to taxpayers as reason for the investment. The plan also noted reasons for the decline, including “age, failure to meet the demands of contemporary tenants and an unusual configuration ... with inadequate connectivity and sense of place.” The city anticipated that tax and other revenue from the redeveloped site would pay the debt service of any city bonds issued to fund a portion of the investment. In 2008, the city was to receive $3 million from the state to go towards the project, but when the

ownership group walked away from the agreement in 2009 due to a lawsuit between the two owners, the money was redirected to the Parkplace Development in downtown Kirkland. Redeveloping the land is not a new idea. The malls underwent a major upgrade during the late 1980s but not much has been done since. Fleshman has seen at least four different architectural drawings of redevelopment possibilities since the upgrade. “The only people who are making any money are the architects,” said Fleshman. The most current set of plans had a 17 screen cinema, parking garage and a large workout gym. A business owner contacted the Reporter, in 2008 after a story ran on potential redevelopment, about opening a movie theater at the site. “We’ve never seen any redevelopment plans before DDR. Everything previously was about sprucing things up – for example, the redesign at the north end of the lower mall for Car Toys and Ross,” said Shields. Despite attempts at redevelopment, investors and owners of the malls have been unable to devise an

The anchor store location in Totem Lake Malls had been empty for the majority of the past decade but a new business, ShopSmart Bazaar Flea Market, is in the process of moving into the space. It will be open only on weekends. The 40,000 square foot space once housed Lamont’s for the first two decades of the mall’s existence before being bought out by Gottschalks, which eventually closed in 2000. The space has also been leased by a used bookstore and a seasonal location for Halloween Express. It is the largest space at the mall.

[ WETLAND from page 20] The second access road to the malls, Totem Lake Boulevard, can flood during heavy rainstorms, thanks to the surrounding wetlands. The result is road closures, as seen twice in the past two months. Located just to the southwest of the malls, Pizza Hut’s main entrance was shut down both times. “It hurt (our business),” said Paula Trott, who has been the general manager of the Pizza Hut for three months and a Kirkland resident for nearly 30 years. “For four days it was blocked (in December).” Trott said that the Department of Transportation has also expressed frustration with the issue. A portion of the mall was also built on top of the wetland. Fleshman said he remembers watching, as an 11-year-old in 1972, the huge pylons being driven into the earth in order to get down to solid ground. “If you look down the length of the mall you can still see the floor is a little wavy,” said Fleshman. Bob Lightfeldt, who owned the Shady Lady in Totem Lake from 197388, said he remembered Ernst having to be jacked up and put on piers due to sinking. The roof has had many issues as well. A collapse in 1974 of the upper malls’ roof, windstorms in the late 1980s and during the Inaugural Day windstorm of 1993 damaged the lower mall’s roof. “I thought it was chilly that morning,” joked Lightfeldt of the windstorm in the late 1980s. “The entire piece was ripped off.” A snowstorm in 1997 triggered the collapse of a section of the lower mall’s roof as well, which ruined the original parquet wood flooring.
