Part 5: The future of Totem Lake

BY MATT PHELPS AND CARRIE WOOD Kirkland Reporter

T

he Totem Lake Malls, lake and surrounding neighborhood have a storied past. The area also has great potential.

The malls’ future is directly tied to the state of the surrounding neighborhood.

Traffic flow and access to the malls from the freeway and surrounding area can hinder or positively impact economic growth. The environmental impacts and potential recreational benefits from Totem Lake could bring in more people to the area on a regular basis or even physically prevent people from being able to get to the malls due to flooding. The expansion of

the surrounding business district can take away economic opportunities from a potential redevelopment of the malls or can help to bring more shoppers to the area. These and many more issues cloud the future of the once-vibrant malls.

In this final piece of the ongoing five-part series on the Totem Lake Malls, the Reporter will examine what may lie ahead for one of the most important pieces of retail real estate in Kirkland.

Totem Lake Symposium The desolate sight of the malls makes it look as if the City of Kirkland is doing nothing to help redevelopment along. [ more FUTURE page 9 ]

Totem Lake has a lot of potential as a recreational destination but the build up of silt over time has led the lake to over stretch its original boundaries. CHAD COLEMAN, Kirkland Reporter

AHELP for animal’s end-of-life care

BY CARRIE WOOD cwood@kirklandreporter.com

With her 7-year-old Boxer, Michelle Nichols didn’t have a choice.

Her dog, McKenzie, who suffered from a hereditary heart condition, dropped

right in front of her with a heart attack and died several years ago.

“So that was devastating to me,” recalled Nichols, who has since founded the Bellevue-based non-profit organization AHELP - the Animal Hospice End of Life Project

Find us at KirklandWindermere.com 737 Market Street Kirkland, WA 98033 | 425-823-4600 460663

– a coalition of veterinarians, allied animal service providers and pet owners interested in providing education about in-home caregiving, hospice care and end-of-life options for beloved pets. AHELP will host a free, pet-friendly “Friend in Need” open house from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Feb. 16 at Seattle Veterinary Specialists in Kirkland.

As an avid pet owner, Nichols has been through so many “dogs, cats, animals that I loved and have done

the typical euthanasia because they had cancer or whatever condition they had,” she said. “I just felt that was so unfulfilling. It felt so insignificant and empty and disrespectful – not the ending to a life that I had shared with a friend for years and years. That is not what I wanted for my animals.”

So when her Boxer, Brodie, faced the end of his life two years ago, Nichols turned to a natural death. [ more AHELP page 2 ]

Windermere Real Estate/Central, Inc.

[2] February 11, 2011 [ AHELP from page 1] Brodie also suffered with an irregular heartbeat and required intensive care throughout his life. As he got older, the family found out he also had a terminal seizure condition.

“The animal hospital sent us home with a handful of pills because our vet didn’t do overnight care,” recalled Nichol’s mom, Carol Soukup, a registered hospice nurse who lives in Kirkland. “He thought if we continued to

www.kirklandreporter.com medicate his seizures that it would probably be okay and we’ll see you tomorrow.”

But Brodie’s condition worsened overnight. As his seizures kept coming, Nichols worried the pills would run out. Soukup put her skills as an on-call hospice nurse for people to work and reassured her daughter.

“I was just there to say, you only have those pills, you have to give him another one.

It’s not due, I don’t care. Give it – that’s what you have,”

said Soukup, who reassured Nichols her pooch was not in pain. Nichols knew she didn’t want to bring Brodie to the veterinarian for an emergency euthanasia in the middle of the night. So her family shared time with Brodie and said goodbye.

“The sun started to come up through the trees and everyone was waking up, except Michelle, who was still tired from being up all night,” recalled Soukup of the dying experience. “Brodie just

lifted his head up and looked around as if to say, ‘where’s Michelle?’”

Nichols came back upstairs, kneeled beside him and said, “It’s okay, Brodie, you can go,” said Soukup, crying. “The family poignant moment of supporting that dying process is so remarkably beautiful that you have to not be grieving for it, you have to be grateful for it.”

Nichols was amazed at how different she felt after loosing Brodie compared to the losses of her other pets and she understood the value that hospice support could bring to animals. So that started her mission into the realm of animal hospice. It’s a new movement she found out as she attended seminars and went to house calls with veterinarians like Dr.Tina Ellenbogen, of Bothell, who performs in-home euthanasia. Nichols learned that pet owners can take care of a terminal or special needs pet at home if they are given the resources.

Last year, Nichols started her business, Partners to the Bridge, which supports companion animals and their families to end-of-life through home visits and case management. However, she soon discovered the community was unaware of what animal hospice is. So she turned her focus to AHELP to educate people about

BRUCE WEBER, Northwest Dog Shots hospice, which supports the family and empowers them to promote a healthy grieving process. AHELP co-founders include Soukup and several area animal service providers.

She emphasized that AHELP does not advocate telling pet owners they should approach end-of-life issues one way or the other, rather the organization empowers people and gives them the resources to make those decisions themselves.

Nichols’ European Boxer, Sora, was diagnosed with

terminal cancer several months ago. She coordinated an end-of-life plan with her veterinarian, her mother and other care providers.

Sora passed away on her dog bed surrounded by her family on Jan. 14. Nichols said she felt empowered through the experience and was grateful she got to spend Sora’s last moments with her.

The first celebration of Founders’ Day in Kirkland was the 1922 Bicentennial to honor Samuel, Caroline and Harry French who arrived at Pleasant Bay in 1872.

Founders’ Day was again celebrated with the Founders’ Centennial in 1972. That Centennial gave Kirkland our first Moss Bay Days and first public art: the bronze Founders’ Fountain by James Fitzgerald at Marina Park.

The French family was not the first to settle in the area, but they were the first to stay.

Three generations of French’s are buried in the Kirkland Cemetery and their home is the city’s oldest known dwelling. The Centennial Fountain was one of Fitzgerald’s last commissioned works before he died in 1973.

For two years Peter Kirk searched the Pacific coast for the ideal area to locate his Iron and Steel Works. In 1888 he chose the settlement on Nelson Bay between the lake ports of Houghton and Juanita. The new town was named Kirkland after Kirk.

Nelson Bay was renamed Moss Bay after Moss Bay in Workington, England, home of Kirk’s original iron works.

QFC is Heart Smart

BY Eric Miller QFC PUBLIC AFFAIRS SPECIALIST

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to talk about the ways QFC can help support your heart health. February is American Heart Month and we are proud to partner with the American Heart Association’s “Go Red For Women” as our Checkstand Charity of the month. So when you visit your neighborhood QFC florist to pick up that beautiful rose arrangement, as well as the ingredients for your romantic heart-healthy Valentine’s meal, remember that a small donation at our checkstands can have a positive impact on the health of many other hearts too!

There are three ways you can contribute this February: ask your cashier to scan a $1, $5, or $10 donation card, designate that your 3-cent reusable bag credit be donated or simply place your extra change in our coin boxes. You will be helping to fund life-saving research and education powered by the American Heart Association.

Heart disease is the number one killer of women in the United States. An alarming statistic reveals our mothers, sisters, daughters and friends are dying at the rate of 1 per minute. Heart disease actually kills more American women than the next five causes of death combined, including cancer. This is why “Go Red for Women” exists – it is a way to raise awareness and dispel the myth that this is an “older man’s disease.” It is a passionate social initiative designed to empower women to take charge of

their heart health. You can begin by taking small but significant actions recommended by the American Heart Association: 1. Celebrate with a checkup Let each birthday remind you that it’s time for your yearly physical and a talk with your doctor about how you can reduce your risk for heart disease.

2. Get off the couch Work up to at least 30 minutes of physical activity on a weekly routine. Step, march, jog in place—you can even do it while watching TV. Speak with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.

3. Quit smoking in four steps If you smoke, but can’t quit “cold turkey”, cut the number of cigarettes you smoke each day in half; then cut that number in half; cut it in half again; finally, cut down to zero!

4. Drop a pound or two By cutting out 500 to 1,000 calories a day you can lose up to two pounds per week, and gradually bring yourself closer to a heart-healthy weight.

5. Become a salt detective

Check out the Nutrition Facts panel on packaged foods to see how much sodium they contain. Aim for a total intake of no more than 2,300 milligrams (about a teaspoon of salt) per day.

Eating a healthy diet along with regular physical activity are important steps in reducing risk factors for heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends eating a variety of nutritious foods, and QFC offers many great-tasting, convenient, nutritious options in just about every aisle. When it comes to packaged goods, the American Heart Association’s (AHA) heart

check mark is a great tool to identify a product that meets the AHA’s certification criteria for saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium and healthful nutrients. This way, we will build healthier lives, healthier hearts, and will be able to spend many more Valentine’s Days with the ones we love.

Thank you for your support of the American Heart Association and “Go Red For Women.”

Eric Miller is the Public Affairs Specialist for QFC. He can be reached at eric.miller@qfci.com or 425-990-6182.

Based on yesterday’s King County special election results, things are looking good for Lake Washington School District (LWSD). As of Tuesday night, the district’s Capital Projects Levy received a 59.33 percent yes vote and 40.67 percent no vote.

Although the final vote count is not certified until Feb. 23, LWSD director of communications Kathryn Reith said they are “absolutely grateful� for the community’s support of the $65.4 million vote-by-mail levy, which required a simple majority of 50 percent plus one yes vote to pass. In the past, Reith said yes votes have usually increased as more ballots came in and were counted. “We’re pretty confident that (the levy) will pass,� she

Third Street open for two-way traffic The new Kirkland Transit Center, located on Third Street between Central Way and Kirkland Avenue, is about to open.

Sound Transit’s contractor is expected to complete the project, with restored bus service to the new transit center

said.

According to the King County Elections Web site, a total of 28,268 ballots have been counted — 16,760 in favor, 11,490 against. There are 98,987 registered voters in the county as of Jan. 28, making the turnout so far 28.56 percent. Because the postmark deadline for the election was Tuesday, Reith said the tally thus far is for all ballots that have come in up to then. King County will release an updated count every day around 4:30 p.m. until the election is certified at www.kingcounty.gov/elections. The county expects a turnout of about 38 percent for all measures in the special election. “There are still ballots in the mail to be counted,� Reith said.

The six-year levy will allow LWSD to build additional

classrooms at Redmond and Eastlake high schools and build a new secondary choice school that will focus on science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education.

Reith said now that it looks like the measure will pass, the district’s facilities will start working on the preliminary plans for these projects because construction must be complete by fall 2012.

The district also has to plan the academic program and curriculum for the new school, Reith said. As for its location, she said they are looking at a piece of land the district already owns next to Louisa May Alcott Elementary School in Redmond. Before construction can begin, though, the district must go through the permitting process and be approved by King County.

beginning Saturday, Feb. 26.

In addition, Third Street is now ready for intermittent two-way traffic. Closing a single lane of traffic may still be required while Sound Transit’s contractor completes the signage, art elements and the site is cleaned up.

While work progresses, pedestrians are encouraged to exercise caution when

walking along Third Street.

The pedestrian crossing mid-block on Third Street, connecting Park Lane to the ball fields and Kirkland Library, will open to the public in mid-February.

OPINION

[6] February 11, 2011

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“For the most part, the modern City of Kirkland is ugly and sterile. What’s been done to Totem Lake, the lake, the land and trees, is the destruction of an incredible asset.” A Totem Lake Malls’ survey response

EDITORIAL

The Totem Lake Malls series

T

Question of the week: “Would you support a levy or tax increase for a ‘lid’ over 405 in the Totem Lake neighborhood to improve connectivity and lend more green open space to the area?”

?

Vote online: www.kirklandreporter.com

Last weeks poll results: “Do you plan on taking your sweetheart out for Valentine’s Day? ” Yes: 31% No: 68%

You said it!

he Reporter’s series on Totem Lake Malls has been eye opening – even for us. Going into the series we wondered how we would get a five-part series out of the topic. What we ended up with was so much information that we could have done a seven- or eight-part series. Our average story length for any news story is about 15 inches.

The average story length for the Totem Lake series has been about 50 inches, not including photos, with the longest being a whopping 80 inches.

The response from readers has been nothing short of amazing.

The survey that ran with the series in the first issue and online is just one component. As of Tuesday morning, we had received 29 hard copies in the mail and 304 online. We want to thank those who took time out of their day to give us their thoughts.

Not all the responses were from those in Kirkland.

We received surveys from people who used to live in Kirkland and have since moved away to places such at Florida, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, Oklahoma, New York, Hawaii and Canada. For more on what people had to say in the survey see our cover story.

The idea for the series came from a Reporter Newspapers editorial conference. We strive to print good community journalism with in-depth reporting. We stay true to these values in an attempt to set ourselves apart from online news sources and other news outlets. Both Reporter editorial staff members Carrie Wood and Matt Phelps have been asked about the state of the malls since arriving in Kirkland and figured it was time to get some answers. Since moving our offices from the Market neighborhood to the Totem Lake neighborhood we have seen first hand the frustration with the property. But we have seen that frustration from readers, local businesses and the City of Kirkland turn towards optimism since starting the series.

We worked on the series for over four months, researching, interviewing, taking photos and spending countless hours on the phone.

While many of the news stories that run in

the Reporter average about three to five sources, the Totem Lake Series was off the scale. The final story accumulated more than 350 sources with the survey included. The story on the lawsuit and ownership profile had more than 60 sources, despite never being able to get a response from anyone in the ownership group.

We apologize if other areas of the paper have suffered during the last five weeks, but we thought this issue is one of the most important facing the City of Kirkland and its residents right now.

The series has included the history, demise, profile of ownership, economic impact, current state of the malls and the future of the Totem Lake Malls.

The Reporter has also attempted to augment the series with profiles on other aspects and businesses in the Totem Lake neighborhood. Denny’s Pet World has been in the upper mall since the beginning.

Totem Lake Cinemas is one of the only Bollywood theaters in the Western United States. Bob Lightfelt was the owner of Shady Lady in the mall for 15 years and has since retired. ShopSmart Bazaar is the newest business at the mall. Also included, was a story on the remodel of one of the most used busi-

nesses in the neighborhood, Fred Meyer, which is located just across the freeway from the site.

The most astonishing aspects to the series for Reporter staff was the absolute stonewall received from the malls’ ownership group and the economic impact of that single piece of property in the City of Kirkland.

There are some people that we would like to extend a special thanks in making this series possible: Everyone at the City of Kirkland including Marie Stake, Ellen Miller-Wolfe, Kurt Triplett, Joan McBride, Dave Asher, Mary-Alyce Burleigh, Ray Steiger, Eric Shields, Robin Jenkinson, Denny’s Pet World owner John Fleshman, Loita Hawkinson and Matthew McCauley of the Kirkland Heritage Society, former Kirkland Mayor Bill Woods, Matt Harding, Sue and Sants Contreras, and everyone who e-mailed and called to thank us just for doing our jobs and producing the stories.

Our hope with this series was to educate the public and to hopefully push the process along. All residents of Kirkland have a stake in the future of the Totem Lake neighborhood.

Abortion is fancy way to say selfish Today I am going to change your look at abortion. I do have references to the Bible written here. Now first you might be saying, “The Bible is a book of fairy tales and it doesn’t appear in our culture anymore.” Well, you are wrong. The Bible has and had a huge impact on our culture. You might think you can cover it up by changing B.C. to Before Common Era or B.C.E., but I would say that doesn’t even do it. When you have a president (Obama) swear his loyalty to you on a Bible, a book he doesn’t believe, you might want to question his loyalty. If he swore on some beat up book and visibly crossed his fingers, then I would know where he stood with God. But no, his hand touched Lincoln’s Bible and he swore on it without any denial. That means

he either is a liar or he actually believes God’s word.

Let’s get back to abortion, though.

Abortion is a fancy way to say SELFISH. Abortion doesn’t reflect on the baby’s point of view, it reflects yours.

Say you’re 16 and then you realize you are pregnant. The first thought that comes to your mind, shamed. What will people think of you if you drop out of school to raise your child? Well, what would people think of you if your baby grew up to become a man or woman thought of when people talk about Martin Luther King, Junior or Lincoln or Washington? You don’t know if the baby’s face will show up on America’s Most Wanted or have a day dedicated to him or her. Think of what they would become if you let them live.

Finally Americans are entitled to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The children inside you are still Americans, right? When you kill

them you are taking away life. As well as liberty. You are making the choices, not the baby. They have absolutely no say! And they should never be killed because you, when you perform abortion, you are taking away life, and liberty, and theoretically the pursuit of happiness.

The only reason you are here now is because your parents didn’t have an abortion. All those children would have been here now if you didn’t have an abortion. God says in Psalm 139:13: “For You formed my inward parts, You wove me together in my mother’s womb.” God is still forming the baby in your womb when you kill it. That is like ruining someone’s creation. It’s like trampling on one of Picasso’s best works. Psalm 139:14: “I will give thanks to you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well.” Everyone, even children who have been killed are

wonderfully made and don’t deserve to be assassinated. So if you’re in a tough situation, remember the points I have made. I hope this will change your outlook on abortion.

City gives public false impression on TOD Council’s recent workshop and the previous meeting at Northwest College were nothing more than an attempt to gain support for what the mayor and council had previously decided. They did not want to hear that the Transit Oriented Development (TOD) would create greater gridlock downtown for the people getting off the buses. They didn’t want to hear that their arguments for affordable housing were bogus.

KITH thanks community for support, outlines challenges ahead

BY JAN DICKERMAN KITH Executive Director

According to Dictionary. com, kith is a noun that means: “acquaintances, friends, neighbors, or the like; persons living in the same general locality and forming a more or less cohesive group.� Locally, KITH is better known as the not-for-profit agency founded in 1989 (as Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing) with the mission to unite with individuals and families to confront homelessness and to build safe and healthy communities.

Thanks to the support of our Kirkland and Eastside friends and neighbors, you helped KITH create a safer, healthier community last year right here in our own neighborhood: t ,*5) TFSWFE IPVTFholds with housing and case management services. t ,*5) DBTF NBOBHFST QSPWJEFE IPVST of case management for homeless families. t .PSF UIBO OVUSJtious meals were served to homeless and low income people at KITH’s weekly Community Supper. t /JOF GBNJMJFT HSBEVBUFE

[ MOYER from page 1] of traditional camp activities enhanced with therapeutic elements through Sunday, Jan. 30.

Led by trained and experienced counselors from YES, Camp Mariposa teaches kids coping skills and about the impact substance abuse has on them and their family. It also increases their knowledge of available resources and educates them about their predisposition for substance abuse, therefore helping them to avoid repeating generational patterns.

The camp takes place on the grounds of Camp Waskowitz in North Bend and is offered free of charge to approved participants several times per year.

“Camp Mariposa has been serving kids in the Seattle area for three years,” said Karen Moyer, who co-founded The Moyer Foundation with her husband Jamie. “We are ready for a national expansion now. This will be our model camp and we are most proud of its success. No child asks for their distress and those who live with addicts need tools and hope, so they can survive and hopefully end the cycle of addiction!”

“It’s a unique program that helps kids who live with a substance abuser feel less isolated and better prepared to face the difficult challenges they face,” said Patti SkeltonMcGougan, executive director of YES. “There is no other program like this anywhere in Puget Sound.”

The Moyer Foundation created Camp Mariposa with YES and experts in the field in 2007, when Karen Moyer approached YES about offering a program to fill this urgent need in the community. The Moyer Foundation has provided grants to YES for Camp Mariposa each year, most recently awarding YES a $50,000 grant for 2011, which will cover the cost of five camps for approximately 120 children.

For more information on registering a camper, visit YES online at www.YouthEastsideServices.org. To make a donation in support of Camp Mariposa, visit The Moyer Foundation at www.

before the symposium.

The issue of the BNSF rail line that is just to the south of the malls is much like the lake in that there are great opportunities, but many hurdles.

The rail line could bring connectivity to other parts of the city and region with light rail or a pedestrian bike and walking trail. But there are other issues such as how to bridge the rail line with crossing traffic and businesses.

The collective owners of Totem Square, which is located to the south of the malls, want to redevelop, said Triplett. The issue of the rail line, which runs directly through the development, is something the owners are beginning to work with the city on. However, the city does not own the rail line, and no one really knows who ultimately will own the defunct rail corridor in Kirkland and what they will do with it, which leaves the

... It is the business center of Kirkland. We make over 30 percent of our sales tax from the Totem Lake neighborhood.”

The symposium’s aim was to bring together about 50 property owners and area businesses, regional experts in finance, development design and engineering and city leaders to talk about the issues facing the greater neighborhood.

“We needed to ask the

city in an awkward place as far as granting ways to bridge the land.

One of the biggest problems with most of the ideas, though, is they take a massive amount of money. In a good economy, finding the money for such projects was difficult but not impossible.

The city could seek state and federal dollars for transportation improvements, create revenue from increased taxes or utilize bonds to improve infrastructure. In this economy, the city will have to [ more LAKE page 10 ]

get creative. “You have to take a different look at your capital projects ...,� said Triplett. “What we can do is if we have a project coming in the next couple of years that we have set aside money for but may not get federal or state matching funds, we could redirect those transportation dollars. There is no new money, there is no magic money, but if we can get money that is just sitting and put it to work for us we hope that can catalyze the process.�

Another revenue source is the $15 million the city committed to fund road improvements when officials approved the development agreement. One of the biggest issues when talking about the neighborhood is traffic congestion and linkage.

Participants from the symposium and to the Reporter’s survey about the area talked about a north-bound on-ramp to 405 at N.E. 116th Street.

The problem for the city is they have no control over that part of the process. The Washington State Department of Transportation has

talked about an on and offramp at N.E. 132nd Street. “What we can do ... is to build small little connectors in the Totem Lake neighborhood,� said McBride.

One of those is a road that would connect N.E. 120th Street and Totem Lake Boulevard on the east side of 405.

The city has also worked with property owners on regulations to promote mixed-use redevelopment and has taken steps to declare Totem Lake an “Urban Center.�

But some in the business community have not seen the city’s actions as credible.

Stu Vander Hoek, president of Vander Hoek Corp., said the city should not “over-promise� more than it can provide.

Vander Hoek, who participated in the original Totem Lake Advisory Committee for seven years in the 1990s, manages family commercial and residential property in downtown Bellevue and the Parmac Industrial Park in Kirkland. “Even though the turnout was good, I don’t have a lot of hope for the process,� said Vander Hoek of the symposium. “Until the city realizes they need to bring

a few primary stakeholders together who are committed to a common vision, not much will happen in Totem Lake.�

He added a group of committed stakeholders could work with the development community to “create a realistic vision� for the area. “This is what Bellevue did, and other communities have done previously,� said Vander Hoek, noting that local stakeholders have been successful redeveloping the Bel-Red Corridor in recent years.

Symposium feedback Despite his doubt with the city’s redevelopment efforts, Vander Hoek attended the recent symposium to voice his concerns.

He believes Totem Lake holds the potential to become the city’s second downtown. However, the neighborhood’s current demographics are not strong enough to support redevelopment of the malls, said Vander Hoek. “The basic problem currently is that well established retailers ap[ more FEEDBACK page 11 ]

The area surrounding the malls is already a medical hub, says Tosti, but it has the potential to become more. Add a transportation hub, residential, office, retail and “it would become its own little town.�

amenities. “There is no real attraction to the area,� he told the Reporter. “It’s tough for retail to compete with Redmond and Bellevue.

The city must create a niche, an amenity in the area, a draw for residential and retail.�

He said the city, for example, could do something with the lake and its shoreline to make it an amenity.

Symposium participant Jim Tosti, president of Windward Real Estate Services, Inc. in Kirkland, is interested in purchasing property and developing in the Totem Lake neighborhood.

He said the neighborhood needs an overall conceptual plan “with a commitment from this

areas that were for industrial uses to commercial, office, or residential uses.

Manufacturers and other providers of basic services are being zoned out of Kirkland.�

She said the city needs to make the land-use process more predictable in time and cost.

In addition, a redeveloped mall would provide the area and northern annexation neighborhoods with an “economic and community focal point,� said Palmer. “Many people just drive through Totem Lake on their way to and from work. A good selection of businesses could serve those commuters and these neighborhoods.�

The plan outlines things the city can do immediately, in the short term and long term. Some of the immediate things were a dog park and new public safety facility. The dog park is set to open this year and the My Home Wholesale building, located near the cur-

parently don’t have enough demand from the local market. As long as they don’t have confidence in investing in the area, they won’t,� he said. “And, to try and pull customers from Bellevue, Woodinville, Bothell and Redmond might never happen. The bottom line is there just aren’t enough people living in the Totem Lake area to support a large scale mall.

That’s why more housing is critical.�

He said a successful redevelopment of the malls would seek to bulldoze the property, create a park around the lake with housing and office space. Alternatively, the city could work with a developer to create a lid over the freeway between N.E. 124th and N.E. 128 to support an area where parks and recreation with housing could be placed together, he added. “This could then be tied into future transitoriented development.

The mall itself could then be raised at least one level above the existing grade so that parking wouldn’t have to be buried, given the problems with the soil in that area especially.�

For this to happen, the city should be supportive of new development by simplifying the development process, cost, limitations and requirements, he said.

Several developers that attended the symposium agree that the malls’ redevelopment should include a mix of retail, housing and office.

Andy Loos, development manager for SRM Development, LLC in Kirkland, says this type of mixed-use would strengthen the surrounding neighborhood and provide for better infrastructure and community

done on a budget. You will need a good quality satin finish latex base coat, glazing liquid and universal tinting color. You also need buckets, paintbrushes and soft rags.

After your fresh base coat has dried, mix the glazing liquid and tinting color until it is thin but not runny. It’s best to test your color and texture combinations on a painted surface prior to glazing. Brush the glaze on the wall in small sections and let it sit for one-two minutes before wiping it off with a soft damp rag. You

will be amazed at what you can accomplish!

Glazing allows you to warm your home with color long after the sunset spills through your windows. So roll up your sleeves, glaze away and enjoy your accomplishment!

Kirkland based site helps teams manage themselves

BY MEGAN MANAGAN

A

nyone coaching, playing or working with a sports league knows there is a lot of information to juggle. Schedules for games, practices, rosters, game changes and whole host of other things have to

be kept in order and made available to a variety of people.

Everyone has their own system for clearing through the clutter, and a local Kirkland company is hoping to make it a breeze for any team.

Team Cowboy is a sports management site which aims

to make managing teams, league and individual players information easier.

Founded in 2007 by Travis Solin, who found he wasn’t getting the service or type of site he wanted for his soccer team. Chris Heffernan joined the team in 2009 after having used the site to help organize teams he belonged to. Four

years later hundreds of teams in many countries use the site to help organize their team through the completely free site.

“He (Travis) started the site (because) he wasn’t really getting what he wanted from sites to manage his soccer team so he thought he could do it better and there was a

lot of community support,” said Heffernan. “He decided to do it better and offer more features. I got involved in 2009 and been making it bigger and better. The idea of the site is really whatever problem you’re having managing a large group of people to organize that. Right now [ more WEB page 14 ]

The flooding during heavy rain storms has been damaging to retail this winter. It has also caused some areas of the malls to sink.

Most people do not even know the location of the lake, thanks to an overgrown area next to Totem Lake Boulevard. Some of the wooden walking path that was constructed around the lake has been repossessed by the environment and the water.

National Fix A Leak Week t March 14-20

456324

Residents in the Cascade service area are saving water, energy and money to ensure a reliable water supply for decades by switching out old fixtures and appliances with WaterSenseŽ labeled products, like toilets and showerheads. But there’s another easy way you can do more -- fixing leaks. The US EPA estimates that over 1 trillion gallons of drinking water is lost in the US each year from leaks in the home. Leaks are costly and place additional strain on water and wastewater systems. A single leaking toilet can waste 10,000 gallons of water per year and can cost a homeowner over $100 in increased water and wastewater charges.

During National Fix A Leak Week (March 14 – 20) Cascade will mail leak detection dye to nearly 100,000 homes in its service area, so homeowners can check their toilets for leaks. Repairing a leaking toilet is easy; no special tools or expensive replacement parts are generally needed. If you find a leak, you can learn how to fix it by visiting Cascade’s website. The mailer also contains coupons from local hardware stores to offer special discounts on toilet repair parts.

So watch for the upcoming Cascade leak detection mailer and celebrate National Fix A Leak Week with a positive action that can help you save money and our valuable water supplies.

Others combined the previous ideas: “Make Totem Lake a place with 30 different small places to eat for under $7 per meal.”

Some identified the space as a place for building up: “They’re only one story. Two stories or

more that would incorporate lower levels to retail and upper level high rise apartments/condos might better serve that big chunk of land.”

Many people were upset with the economic impact of the malls: “What we have now brings in no revenue and is very sad as it brings down property value around the mall.”

The impact of the hospital was not lost on many survey respondents: “People visiting patients or going to doctor appointments should have some place to hang out where they feel comfortable.”

Many mentioned wanting a year-round farmer’s market, a bigger grocery store, an asian grocery store, a YMCA or community center or a gym. A couple people mentioned more nightlife and arts venues.

Some of the more unique ideas for the land were a water park, a new

professional basketball or hockey arena, paintball arena, skateboard park, ice skating rink, batting cages and open space.

“Why not develop a ‘Greenlake’ of our own with real walking path etc. around Totem Lake. This could be the draw instead of an anchor store. And make the mall areas into a litte more of a miniUniversity Village type environment.”

A separate response stated, “Develop the lake area with walking paths, benches and sitting areas along the lake. Make the lake visible to people. You can’t be passionate about something you don’t know is there.”

Some were not happy with what has happened to the area during the past decade: “For the most part, the modern City of Kirkland is ugly and sterile. What’s been done to Totem Lake, the land and trees, is the destruction of an incredible asset.”

Anderson, junior, Women Studies; Claire E. Sander, sophomore, University Exploratory Studies; and Tamara K. Smallman, sophomore, Athletic Training.

Two people responded by wanting the potential Parkplace redevelopment to move to the site.

When asked what words would describe Totem Lake if all the improvements respondents had in mind were completed, the most common word used was “convenient.” Other common words were community, vibrant, destination, walkable, inviting, green, family friendly, safe and accessible.

The lack of accessibility to the area was a big issue for many who responded: “Shopping and traffic go hand-in-hand and Kirkland is a traffic nightmare, whether you’re slogging to get through it on 405, or taking surface streets.”

Some see other modes of transportation as an important issue: “I live less than a mile away, and it is foreboding to ride there with a bicycle.”

It is easy to see why businesses such as Denny’s Pet World, Trader Joe’s, Guitar Center and The Trading Post have remained. Many survey respondents made a special effort to declare their love for these businesses.
