Totem Lake Fred Meyer to expand, remodel to be completed in September BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

What’s on your list today? How about a bigger Totem Lake Fred Meyer with expanded photo electronics, apparel and food departments. The 31-year-old store is currently gearing up for a nearly $10 million remodel, adding approximately 3,000 square feet, a Starbucks and drive-through pharmacy. “Typically we remodel our stores every 10 years and this store went through one in 1989 and 2000,” said

Fred Meyer spokesperson Melinda Merrill. The remodel won’t technically begin until Feb. 28, but the preparation has been going on for months. All of the stores that occupied the front of the building have moved to other locations in Kirkland. Those businesses will not return to that location, as Fred Meyer will use that space for the expansion. All of the work on the expansion is expected to be completed by September. Construction has already technically begun on the [ more EXPAND page 7 ]

The joint agreement between the two companies was not the first – but is probably the last. This is the third part of a five-part series on Totem Lake Malls, which started with the history and continued with the demise of the property. This week, the Reporter will profile the two companies, their joint agreement to redevelop retail property and take a look at the lawsuit that has stymied redevelopment efforts in Kirkland.

The group purchased the Totem Lake Malls site from the California Public Employees’ Retirement System for $37 million in 2004. But the relationship between the two companies has turned into a tangled mess of litigation. In addition to Totem Lake, the joint agreement included 11 other malls nationwide that are now listed in the lawsuit filed by Coventry against the $17.9 billion Developers Diversified Realty (DDR). Most of the sites were

As a part of the agreement, DDR has provided 20 percent of the required equity capital for projects, while Coventry is responsible for the remaining 80 percent. However, Coventry now asserts that DDR has not fulfilled the agreement. The Totem Lake site is a part of the $500 million fraud lawsuit filed in New York state. During the past three months, the Reporter has made numerous phone calls and e-mails to both companies and their lawyers with no response. Though city officials can’t say if the lawsuit is solely to blame for Totem Lake Malls’ delayed plans, the litigation has certainly played a role. “It’s hard to say whether it’s the lawsuit or the economy that is clouding redevelopment plans to the property,” said City of Kirkland Economic Development Manager Ellen Miller-Wolfe. “What I have understood [ more LAWSUIT page 13 ]

Shady Lady brought new vogue to Totem Lake Malls BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

Bob Lightfeldt and his daughter Karen owned and managed several women’s apparel stores in Kirkland including Betty’s Apparel and Shady Lady. CARRIE WOOD, Kirkland Reporter Native American theme. “There was this Swedish fellow who was married to an Indian princess who would set up the teepees,” Lightfeldt recalled. “We would dream up all sorts of promotions.” The malls became an alternative to Bellevue Square and other larger shopping areas. “It was a magnet,” said Karen. “One-stop shopping. There was just an upbeat feeling in the malls.” One of the biggest advantages for Shady Lady was being next door to Lamont’s. The two stores carried clothes - but that was where the simi-

larities ended. “We were fashion and they were more mainstream,” said Karen. After 10 years of profitability in the space, the Lightfeldts’ decided to sign a five year lease with Totem Lake Malls. But Lamont’s helped to hasten the end of Shady Lady and other stores in a different way, according to Karen. Renovation of the front of Lamont’s resulted in windows being replaced by a rock wall. The wall darkened one end of the mall and made visibility difficult for

shoppers. “We can’t know for sure, but it definitely took away from the light,” said Karen. “It also did a lot to change the feel of the entire malls.” The aesthetic change affected many things. The lack of light contributed to other declines. “The restrooms became a drug hangout and not considered safe,” said Karen. Mall management also began to take a turn. “They weren’t doing anything for promotion towards the end,” said Lightfeldt. But it wasn’t just promo-

tion that the management faltered on, says Karen. “It was always full,” said Karen. “They had good management in the early days, but towards the end there was nothing.” The declining malls also had other issues that were harder to fix. “The traffic problem was so bad,” said Lightfeldt. “That exit took a lot of lobbying. It was horrible, 405 was two lanes at that time.” One big feature that put businesses like Shady Lady and Betty’s Apparel out of business was the rise of the box store. “It changed what a small store could do,” said Karen. But the Lightfeldt’s changed with the times. Despite shuttering Betty’s Apparel and eventually Shady Lady, the family found new success at Factoria Mall with two stores, including Satin Lady, an independent lingerie store during the 1980s. Those stores have since closed and Lightfeldt visited Totem Lake Malls last year. He was disappointed at the demise of the malls, but the man who will celebrate his 93rd birthday in February still has great memories of the once-bustling economic engine of Kirkland.

ob and his late wife Betty Lightfeldt had a big impact on the Kirkland business community for decades. Their shops Betty’s Apparel, which was located in downtown Kirkland, and Shady Lady, at Totem Lake Malls, were at the heart of Kirkland fashion from 1962-88. Despite closing their Kirkland stores nearly a quarter century ago, 92-year-old Lightfeldt still cares about the Kirkland business community, including the rundown malls. “We owned four stores in downtown Kirkland and then one in Totem Lake,” said Lightfeldt. “A lot of downtown merchants moved because it was a new mall. It was exciting.” Lightfeldt was not your typical women’s boutique store owner. He worked for years at the Boeing Co. before retiring early to open Shady Lady. “It was just updating and more catchy,” said Lightfeldt about the difference in the store’s names. “We kind of adopted the turn-of-thecentury decor.” He and Betty owned an entire building in downtown

Kirkland at the corner of Lake Street and Kirkland Avenue, which housed Betty’s Apparel. “We were the first pants shop in the Seattle area for women,” said Lightfeldt. “At that time no one wore them.” But through the years styles came and went and transformed into Betty’s styles. “When they started everyone was wearing the same thing,” Lightfeldt’s daughter, Karen, said about fashion in the 1960s. “You have to change with the times. By the time we closed everyone was wearing the same thing again.” Betty’s Apparel was approximately 2,000 square feet in downtown, while Shady Lady was at about 2,500 square feet. “It was pretty stable the first 10 years and pretty profitable at Totem Lake,” said Lightfeldt, who became the first Totem Lake Malls Association President. Totem Lake Malls was a boon for many of the stores during the early years. Promotion was the key. Lightfeldt recalled helping to organize every type of promotion possible - moonlight sales, bed races and even events to tie into the malls’

“Will you avoid Fred Meyer during its expansion and construction during the next eight month?”

Vote online: www.kirklandreporter.com

Last week’ s poll results: “Would you be disappointed if annexation was deferred or services were reduced by the city thanks to state budget cuts?”

he Reporter has received many opinions about our recent story on newly elected Republican State Sen. Andy Hill, who is taking a groundbreaking pill to offset his lung cancer. He has never smoked cigarettes in his life and leads a healthy life, exercising almost every day. His cancer was caused by a fluke mutation in his left lung. Some comments have been from local residents, some from partisans and some from elected officials on the other side of the aisle. The majority have been stunningly negative about our coverage. Some have accused us of politicizing cancer. Some have accused us of being biased against democrats. Some have accused us of not being sensitive to the political climate in Olympia. The accusation that we have politicized cancer is one that we do not take lightly and is quite heinous. The last time we checked, the election took place in November and our story ran in January. Hill was sworn in at the beginning of the month. Politicizing his cancer would have been running the story prior to the election, not after. Hill is not up for election again for another four years. We would hope that our elected officials would be more concerned about bridging our state’s debt crisis than campaigning just two months after being elected to office. It is interesting that some would accuse us of being politically biased over one feature story on a republican. Often times this issue is in the eye of the beholder — if we run a story on a democrat, the republicans claim we are biased and vice versa. We are confident that our political coverage speaks for itself. The 45th District, which includes parts of Redmond, Kirkland and Sammamish, has not had a republican representative in Olympia in a few years. Every incumbent state legislator from

the area was a democrat and every challenger a republican in November. The Reporter strived for unbiased coverage during the campaign, attempting to let readers know who the challengers were and what the incumbents had accomplished during the previous session. The Reporter ran stories on forums, debates and other informational events. We attempted to profile each race without giving more or less coverage to a certain candidate. The idea that we are not being sensitive to the political climate in Olympia by running this story on Hill is politically one sided. Hill was elected to represent everyone in the 45th District, not just republicans. Political point scoring in this country is out of control. It has come to a point where our political leaders are more concerned with doing damage to their rivals than doing the job they were elected to do.

Many have brought up the fact that Hill, who is a republican, has the money for health insurance, while his national party has lobbied to repeal recent national health-care legislation that is supposed to open up health insurance for those less fortunate. No matter where you fall on this idea, that Hill has battled cancer and survived is something to be celebrated. That, along with the fact that he was elected to office to represent us is a news story, period. Some have accused us of using too many political photos with the story. But his being the only challenger from the 45th District to win is half of the story, even though it was not emphasized as much as his battle with cancer in the story. Democrats should be more worried that they lost the seat, than a feel-good feature on the person holding it.

The LWSD is running a levy in February to raise $65.4 million more than they need to house their growing student population. There is plenty of extra space in existing Kirkland schools to house this growth. The district will consider using that space by rearranging attendance boundaries and bus schedules if the levy fails. They admit they already have enough money to provide new housing on the Eastside. It’s unspent money we entrusted to them for modernizing 30 of our schools. So far they have torn down and replaced 21 of those schools instead of modernizing them. They intend to continue this practice for the remaining eight schools. The district will consider using some of the unspent money to alleviate the housing shortage if the levy fails. The rest of the money would still be available for modernization of those eight schools. The bulk of the requested levy

money would be spent to house 6-12th graders together in one new small secondary school, instead of separate middle and high schools. It would be designed for a STEM program already being provided in existing schools throughout the district. A relatively small portion of the cost for this new school would provide more classrooms. The major portion of the cost would be used for roads, utilities and other major site development together with core facilities such as gym, cafeteria, admin, resource centers, common areas, and lots of other non-classroom space. Building any new school also commits the district to significant future operational, maintenance and administrative costs. The district could wait until increased enrollment actually justifies the expense of building a new 9-12 high school if the levy fails. Bond issues are normally used to finance major expenditures for new facilities but the district decided to gamble on a levy instead because it offers better odds for success in an off year election. A bond issue requires validation with a minimum number

of votes. A levy doesn’t require validation so it can’t be defeated by people not voting. A bond issue requires a 60 percent super majority. A levy will pass with a simple majority. The LWSD levy committee will work aggressively to get out the yes vote. Unless enough people who oppose this proposal actually vote no, the district will proceed with their questionable building program by default.

Paul Hall, Kirkland

LWSD schools running out of space As members of the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors, we urge you to vote yes for the district’s levy measure. We are facing a very real space crisis. It’s just not possible to fit in hundreds more students into the system each year without some cost. With 600 more students this year and 450 more expected each year for at least the next five, we will run out of space by the fall of 2012. This measure is not about the

planned change in grade configuration to a four-year high school system. That change is being made for academic reasons. It also helps us handle the space problem by moving 6th grade out of our already crowded elementary schools, schools that would be in a crisis without a change that brings us in line with most other school districts in the state and nation. It is not about the school building modernization program, which was approved twice by voters, first in 1998 and then in 2006. That program ensures that our school district has buildings that are suited to the current educational program through a complete update every 30-40 years. Juanita High School and Kamiakin Junior High are still on the original schedule for modernization with a bond to be voted on in 2014. What this measure is about is adding classroom space at the high school level where we will desperately need it very soon.

trust the district to use the bond money as advertised. Also, using the approved bond money will delay the modernization plans of Sandburg Elementary, the International Community School and the other seven phase 2 schools yet to undergo modernization. Certainly the modernization schedule of schools in phase 3, including Juanita High School, Kamiakin Junior High and the seven other schools will be delayed, too. And a note to those who think the Juanita community was somehow short-shifted last year when the bond failed. It was not. Juanita High School was always scheduled for phase 3 modernization beginning in 2014. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bond proposed modernizing Juanita High School sooner to take advantage of the favorable bond rates.

ALERT

Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter Police Blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 800 per week. Between Jan. 14-20 the Kirkland Police Department reported 498 traffic violations (five DUIs), 13 traffic accidents, nine noise complaints, 11 thefts, five domestic violence calls, 22 alarm calls, four car prowls, nine cases of civil disturbances, three burglaries, eight disturbances, three cases of fraud and three harassment calls. At least 44 people were arrested.

[ EXPAND from page 1] Home and Garden section of the 156,000-square-foot store, with the covered outdoor area demolished last week. A new indoor area of the store will be built during the next month. That new section of the building will be used to house merchandise while other areas of the store are worked on. Eventually, the Home and Garden department will have an expanded employee area. “We remodel in sections,” said Merrill, adding that the store will remain open during the next eight months of construction. “We appreciate our customers’ patience during all of this.” Merrill said that keeping the store open is a big priority for Fred Meyer. “Beyond the obvious profit loss, we have a lot of employees,” said Merrill. “We do everything that we can to stay open and not transfer people or lay people off.” Fred Meyer is expanding the photo electronics section so it will be more userfriendly. “We want our customers to be able to use things like the Wii before they purchase them,” said Fred Meyer spokesperson Judy Swift. “Our expanded apparel section will be like no other.” The company also plans to expand the grocery section of the Totem Lake store. Street improvements and landscaping work are also included in the project.

teachers. As our children’s first and most important teachers we try our best to raise our children into responsible, respectful, fun loving, empathetic, and good citizens all while providing engaging and worthwhile experiences to help foster a love of learning. When our children enter school we parents must often reassess our roles in our child’s education. Other factors begin to influence our child’s learning. There is now a need for us parents to learn how to best support our children at home with what they are learning at school and how to best communicate effectively with our children’s teacher in order to help our children succeed. My hope is this column is much like the studio in the poem where two sculptors (parents and teachers) work together in order to shape the young child’s mind. I hope it will provide parents in our community an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers on how to best support their learners at home. For a question one parent asks is probably a question several parents will have now or in the near future. I will definitely not have all the answers but do my best to consult other educators, seek out resources, and communicate the latest research. And, when at last our work is done, let’s be proud of what we wrought, for behind the parent, stood the school, and behind the teacher stood the home. You may contact Mrs. Brooke by email at dearmrs. brooke@gmail.com with any questions regarding your child’s learning.

NewsUSA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Epilepsy is a serious neurological disorder that can develop at any time in life, but there is a particular susceptibility in young children and the elderly. The condition produces seizures, which can range from a momentary disruption of the senses to short periods of unconsciousness or staring spells to convulsions. A seizure happens when a brief, strong surge of electrical activity affects part

or all of the brain. When a person has two or more unprovoked seizures, they are considered to have epilepsy. Epilepsy affects more than 3 million people in the United States and 50 million people worldwide; yet, many people do not recognize the signs of a seizure. Many times, the symptoms are misinterpreted as alcoholic or drug-induced intoxication. Some epilepsy symptoms have even been known to confuse law enforcement officers, who may mistake someone experiencing a seizure or post-seizure

that dog poop really does pose a health threat to our families and our local natural resources. In the ‘60s and ‘70s, the study of pollution was focused on the much more obvious pollutants in our country, but recent exploration of contaminates in Puget Sound has shown that dog waste is a primary source of E. coli, salmonella and giardia in our area. It also adds nitrogen and phosphorus to the water, encouraging more rapid growth of pesky algae and aquatic weeds, ultimately impacting salmon spawning

grounds. We all know E. coli and salmonella are major threats to humans, with outbreaks being publicized regularly. There are more than 1.1 million dogs living in the Puget Sound region, dropping roughly 200 tons of dog poop each day, amounting to roughly 73,000 tons per year! This translates to a little over one-third pound per day, per dog. As we are all working to achieve a “greener” existence, remember that dog poop is not yard waste. It is not appropriate for composting because rain will send it towards our waterways. The greenest way to dispose of dog waste is to bag it and place it in the garbage. There are simple ways we can address poop removal. Simply carry a small pocket full of poop bags or attach some to your leash in some of the many stylish bag carriers. Finally, don’t think your backyard is your own space. Rain will wash contaminates from your yard to our waterways just as readily as it will from our city parks, sidewalks and other public spaces. Fortunately, there are services you can hire who will come to your home and handle it for you, if you lack the time or inclination to do it yourself. We have learned a lot about our environment over the years, including just how damaging pet waste can be, so let’s all be responsible dog owners and handle our dogs’ droppings with an eye toward protecting our environment along with the health of our family, friends and neighbors.

Stina Hughes is co-owner of Scampers Day Camp for Dogs in the Totem Lake area of Kirkland, where she and her colleagues can be seen bagging poop Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Contact them at 425-821-9100 or info@ scampersdogs.com.

www.kirklandreporter.com from Coventry was there are certain things they could do whether there is or isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a lawsuit, some things like leasing on a short-term basis.â&#x20AC;? According to court documents, the legal action encompasses a total of 12 malls and a Service Merchandise Portfolio with 51 separate locations involved in the co-venture. The lawsuit asserts that DDR failed to commit adequate resources, left Coventry â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the dark on material aspects of the properties,â&#x20AC;? overvalued assets sold to Coventry and purposely inflated fees. The suit also states that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the effect of DDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheme has made many of the properties commercially untenable.â&#x20AC;? The complaint was filed in November of 2009 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same year the co-owners backed out of a redevelopment agreement with the City of Kirkland for the malls. Coventry accuses DDR of â&#x20AC;&#x153;allowing the properties to flounder and ultimately fail, while focusing on its real goal: to collect as much in fees as possible while making only the most cursory effort to perform its responsibilities.â&#x20AC;? DDR, an Ohio-based company, has responded that â&#x20AC;&#x153;this action is nothing more than a meritless breach-of-contract case,â&#x20AC;? in a motion to dismiss. New York-based Coventry stated in court documents that DDR has collected $28 million in identifiable fees from Coventry. Continuing to collect money on the prop-

erties has given DDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stock a boost at Coventryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense, according to court records. DDR said it â&#x20AC;&#x153;vehemently denies the allegations, will vigorously defend itself against such allegations in any legal proceedingâ&#x20AC;? and denies it has breached any terms of any such agreements with Coventry. The plaintiff asserts that many of the projects could have been completed prior to the downturn in the economy. DDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actions have also â&#x20AC;&#x153;placed itself in position to acquire at distressed prices some of the same properties it recommended that Coventry acquire, and which it promised to develop, lease and manage for Coventry.â&#x20AC;? In 2006, the City of Kirkland and the co-owners entered into a $126 million redevelopment agreement in which the city would have invested $15 million into the project. The city was to receive $3 million from the state for the project as well. When the co-owners walked away from the agreement the $3 million was redirected to the Parkplace development in downtown Kirkland.

DDR has done some work on other properties. The problem, according to Coventry, is that the majority have not been redeveloped or upgraded. The lawsuit claims that any completed work has been at Coventryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expense. In court documents, Coventry said that DDR redeveloped 316,000 square feet of gross leaseable area across the 12 properties and charged Coventry $15.5 million in fees. Third parties contracted by Coventry have performed 715,000 square feet of redevelopment for less than $4.5 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;DDRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance of its development, leasing and management duties has been marred by its chronic refusal to act,â&#x20AC;? said the complaint. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Despite its obligations, and Coventryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s repeated pleas, DDR did little or nothing to control its subcontractorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; development work and their pervasive cost overruns, and it provided Coventry with little information, if any, about its performance and results.â&#x20AC;? Kirkland City officials are not certain where the lawsuit is at in the process or how long it will continue, as DDR

officials have remained tightlipped. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have not been in communication with DDR the last several years, but I have been with Coventry,â&#x20AC;? said Miller-Wolfe, noting a Coventry representative even attended the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent symposium on the malls.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;My experience in terms of their responsiveness has been very good, albeit there is no development happening at the malls, but when we have a concept to throw at Coventry, they have been very responsive.â&#x20AC;? In the future, the city also has several legal options to

Westover was set to open an expansion in 2009 that has yet to be built. Of the 12 properties involved in the lawsuit, Merriam Village, a 35acre shopping center in Kansas, is the thirdsmallest in size at 280,662 square feet â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just in front of Totem Lake Mallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 220,000 square feet and Marley Creek Square, in Orland Park, Ill., at 120,000 square feet. Like the Totem Lake Malls, the Kansas property has remained mostly empty, except for a few temporary leases, including a seasonal Halloween store. It has 53,182 square feet of available space. Also part of the lawsuit, Ward Parkway Center in Miss. was set to foreclose during a contentious dispute between the co-owners, just four months after the lawsuit was filed in 2009. Coventry redeveloped the 800,000-squarefoot shopping center and brought in new tenants, like Staples, after the

company and DDR financed and purchased the property in 2003. However, a $35 million loan on Ward Parkway Center matured and the lender sent the owners a notice of default in February 2009. Around the same time, the pair defaulted on a $17 million land loan for the stalled Merriam Village shopping center in nearby Johnson County (foreclosure proceedings were not announced for that property). DDR blamed Coventry for the foreclosure initiated against Ward Parkway Center, citing Coventryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;failure to fund a mortgage paydown,â&#x20AC;? Robin Lybarger, a spokeswoman for DDR, told the Kansas City Business Journal in March 2009. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Developers Diversified has fulfilled our obligation, and we have no obligation to fulfill our partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obligation,â&#x20AC;?

Despite the lawsuit, Kirkland residents have wondered if there is anything the city could do to push the mallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; redevelopment plans forward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, unfortunately not,â&#x20AC;? said Miller-Wolfe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a privately held property and because of that, the city doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much leverage here.â&#x20AC;?

Soon after, DDR announced the Otto family â&#x20AC;&#x201C; owners of a leading European retail development firm that owns Crate and Barrel â&#x20AC;&#x201C; purchased 30 million shares of DDR stock, making the family the single-largest shareholder of DDR. In addition, the German family committed to make a five-year $60 million loan to help DDR enhance liquidity and provide the company with significant capital for debt reduction. The purchase made it possible for the owners to work out a debtrepayment deal for Ward Parkway, though the Reporter could not confirm whether the property foreclosed or not. Other malls in the lawsuit are Buena Park Mall and Buena Park Place in Calif., Fairplain Plaza in Mich., Tri County Mall in Ohio and Phoenix Spectrum Mall (Christown) in Ariz.

he Lake Washington boys earned two wins and a loss last week in three KingCo battles. The Kangs beat crosstown rival Juanita on Tuesday, Jan. 18 in a home game, 85-57. Lake Washington dominated the first quarter, putting up 27 points, while holding Juanita to just 12. The trend continued with a 31 point third quarter to seal the win. Juanita’s Kyle Kurfess had 11 points, while Avery Britton posted nine for the Rebels, with Kellen Gildersleeve adding eight and Nicola Stanjic posted seven. But Juanita’s all around team effort wasn’t enough to overcome the Kangs. Captain Matt Staudacher had a 27-point night, while the team’s other captain Robert Reyes had 12 points, while Guy Lynott added 10, as did Kramer Taylor. Darien Nelson-Henry had eight, Cody Bernstein and Marcus Giovacchini each added seven and Mike Hanson and R.J. Rusch had two. Friday night the Kangs

traveled to face Mount Si, a team the Kangs are neck and neck with in the KingCo standings. A slow first half ended with the Wildcats leading 31-21, but a 20-point third quarter for Lake Washington kept the Kangs in the game with a three point deficit at the end of the third. Despite outscoring Mount Si in the fourth quarter, it wasn’t enough to take the lead and the Kangs lost 58-55. Taylor had 16 during the win, while Lynott had 15 and Staudacher posted 10. Robert Reyes added another nine for the team. The following Monday Lake Washington fell to Mercer Island 50-48. The game, which was rescheduled from earlier in the month due to snow, came down to the last seconds when the Kangs missed a 3-pointer giving the Islanders the win. Lynott had 14 points for Lake Washington, while Staudacher added 13 and Reyes had 11. Both Bernstein and Taylor added five to the game. The Kangs face Bellevue tonight.
