Businessman proposes tasting train through Kirkland City officials take issue with alternative plan for Cross Kirkland Corridor BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
T
he City of Kirkland plans to move forward with the Cross
Kirkland Corridor’s rail removal as early as April, but a Snohomish advocacy group and a Kirkland business owner want the city to put
the brakes on the project. “It is a precious corridor for both trails and rails,” said Snohomish Mayor Karen Guzak, a member of 40 within the Eastside TRailway Alliance. “We have concerns that once the rails are taken out, they won’t go back in.”
Guzak believes that the Eastside TRailway Alliance and King County rail owners share the same long-term goals but there is some “pushback in the details.” The Eastside TRailway Alliance has been working with Doug Engle, who is a partner with the Eastside
Rail Community. The new company that started last December currently runs freight from Snohomish to Woodinville in Everett. But Engle has aspirations of commuter service to help get “around the I-405 parking lot” and a weekend excursion train from Snohomish
to Woodinville and, eventually, Kirkland. Before Engle’s excursion train becomes reality, however, Snohomish County would need to secure $6.2 million in state funds for railway upgrade between Snohomish and Woodin[ more TRAIN page 3 ]
Backyard chicken enthusiasts to give tips on how to succeed BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Founders of the Kirkland Coalition for Backyard Agriculture, a Kirkland couple who lives in the Norkirk neighborhood, were active forces in changing the city’s regulations for keeping backyard chickens. Now, after six months of enjoying eggs, feathers and clucks, Kathy Weber and Bill Shain want to spread the word to fellow Kirkland residents about the joys of keeping backyard chickens and tips on how to succeed. “This is the season of the year to bring home the baby chicks,” Weber said. “We want to get to know other people in our community who share our values and interests so we can be resources for each other and learn from each other.” The couple started the “loose” coalition in 2011 with about 20 active residents who were interested in health benefits of growing (and rearing) more food in the backyard. But Kirkland’s zoning codes were out of date at the time, so the group actively worked for more
than one year to change city code. As a result, in August 2012 the Kirkland City Council and the Houghton Community Council accepted the Planning Commission recommendation to allow up to three chickens at any single family residential property. For lots more than 5,000 square feet, families may have one chicken for every 1,000 square feet their property expands. But only families with 35,000 square feet of property may have roosters. Weber and Shain, who own seven chickens, plan to educate Kirklanders on these rules at a workshop from 1-3 p.m. March 10 at Kirkland Fire Department Station 22. “It takes a certain commitment to care for another living being. Like a dog or cat, you have to take care of them,” Weber said. Although they hope to share good tips on how to succeed with a backyard chicken farm for the workshop, Shain did say the coop’s location is key, which is why he built a mobile multi-level chicken coop.
Kathy Weber and Bill Shain in front of their mobile chicken coop in the backyard of their Norkirk neighborhood home. CONTRIBUTED Weber notes that positioning a chicken coop far from a neighbor’s kitchen window always helps keep a friendly atmosphere. “The general consensus is
that people are very positive about it,” she said. “We have lots of requests for eggs, so many that we can’t keep them all because people really enjoy them.”
The free workshop is for those interested and experienced chicken owners to come together to discuss best practices, how to find local resources, how to be a
good neighbor and how to succeed. For more information, email Kathy Weber at kirklandweber@me.com or call 425-827-3478.

www.kirklandreporter.com ville. If granted, the project could be complete by May 2014. It’s this business opportunity that prompted Engle to consider Kirkland as a part of his future venture. “We think that obviously Kirkland has a lot of cool things, it’s a little Laguna Beach in the summer,” said Engle, who is temporarily living in California but owns a home in Kirkland. “I’m sure we’d have a lot of tourists who would want to come to Kirkland as well.” Engle’s Bounty of Washington: Tasting Train would connect those who want to experience Washington’s wine, craft brew and spirits, and other local food from various farmers’ markets in the summer. Engle sent a letter to the City of Kirkland on Feb. 22 proposing the city build a trail next to the Cross Kirkland Corridor’s railway, instead of directly on the rail bed. He estimates it will only cost $2.9 million - a cost that saves the city hundreds of thousands from its already-secured $3.6 million. Engle said he can provide a 15-foot wide trail, 15 feet from the railway and it would keep the railway intact.
The Kirkland segment of the Eastside Rail Corridor. FILE PHOTO “We are admittedly late into Kirkland’s process and we appreciate that, but at the same time, if the rails are taken out, only 3 percent of the time have the rails gone back in,” Engle said, noting the cost to put them back in could be up to $10 million. “Once they’re out, they’re out.” Transportation manager David Godfrey said the vision for Kirkland’s corridor is to make the corridor available to the public as quickly as possible. While having a trail next to the rail was an option, Godfrey said, it’s a “very expensive” option because there “wouldn’t be a place to put the trail” and eventually “somebody is going to have to upgrade the rails and, so far, nobody has come forward
with a business plan.” He adds there’s been ample opportunity for a business to come forward, as well. “My sense is after we remove the rail and people begin to use the trail and realize what a fantastic asset it is, the region will recognize having a trail is great,” Godfrey said. Mayor Joan McBride said while the city’s interest statement for the longterm includes multi-use, including rail service, the city “has a really good interim plan” and if the city were to put a trail next to the railway, it could have serious environmental impacts. “I think it’s great that Doug Engle and his group are working with ideas, but the idea that we can build a trail alongside those railroad tracks
without doing a full environmental review is a concern for me,” said McBride. “We have precious wetlands (that run alongside the corridor).” McBride recently met with Guzak to discuss the option of waiting, but ultimately, McBride is “not sure why there’s a sense of urgency.” “We’re not hurting any sort of rail company in the future by removing them,” McBride said. “They’re unusable.” McBride said the master plan process will be very open and “Doug Engle and his folks are welcome to provide input.” The master plan includes the analysis of a future regional paved trail and transit pathway of the cityowned 5.75 mile stretch of railway. The master plan is funded by the parks levy, which voters approved in November 2012, and the city is currently in the process of finding a consultant. “When you come across an asset such as the Cross Kirkland Corridor, you want to be careful and thoughtful about the planning,” McBride said. “What we plan today and tomorrow will be with us for a century.” Engle plans to have a meeting with the city during the week of March 11.

EDITORIAL
Time to talk about transportation taxes
T
he $10 billion transportation tax package rolled out recently by House Democrats in Olympia certainly is an eye-opener. But it might just be what the public needs to focus on how we move people and products in our state. The plan would boost taxes on gasoline by 10 cents a gallon and add a car-tab tax of 0.7 percent on the value of a vehicle. The plan also would put a $25 sales tax fee on bicycles worth $500 or more. All of this – plus how the money would be spent – will be one of the most debated issues of the legislative session. And, we suspect, around dinner tables and water coolers by everyone else. Credit 41st Legislative District Rep. Judy Clibborn, D-Mercer Island, with taking on this tough task. We suspect she – like the rest of us – sees transportation woes on a daily basis. We won’t try to give a blessing or a curse to the proposal yet. Like you, we want to poke into the bill’s details first. But as more people move here and use our roads, and as those continue to deteriorate, it should be obvious that doing nothing isn’t an option. If you drive on I-405, you see that problem every day. The same is true if you’ve ever gotten bogged down in traffic trying to travel from our state to Oregon. Even Snoqualmie Pass is often overloaded. The bill doesn’t include money to complete the new Ever-
green Point bridge. Maybe it should, but tolls – if expanded to I-90 – could take care of that funding issue. And while no one likes tolls, you can make a good argument that in this instance they are a targeted user tax. Some already had cried that a 10-cent gasoline tax increase (2 cents a year for each of five years), would give
our state the highest gas tax in the nation. That shouldn’t be the issue. Instead, we should concentrate on what we need to keep people moving on our roads and how we pay for the needed costs. Let’s start talking.

Protect our right to choose what we eat Initiative 522 would require labeling of foods that are genetically engineered. I believe that all citizens deserve the right to know where their food comes from and how it was produced. Over a dozen other states are currently considering labeling requirements. For more than 10 years, Americans have unknowingly been kept in the dark that they were already eating genetically modified foods in processed foods like cereals, snacks and salad dressings (New York Times, Jan. 31). More than 62 nations – including the European Union member states Japan, Brazil, Russia and China — already require labeling of genetically modified foods. But here in the “land of the free,” we don’t have the right to know and to choose whether we are being treated as human guinea pigs in the very risky process of tampering with the DNA of real foods. I urge everyone who eats to support I-522 and help our state become the first in the nation to protect our right to choose what we eat.

Distressed by Lake Street Place development The residents of downtown Kirkland are greatly distressed by the prospect of the construction of a new building on Lake Street that will draw hundreds more cars and service vehicles into a very congested neighborhood.
Two apartments have their front entrances on a cul de sac that is fed by Main Street (hardly more than an alley) and an alley from Lake Street to Main Street. Buses, delivery trucks, garbage vans and fire department vehicles, plus a couple of moving vans weekly cause many impasses daily without the addition of the many vehicles that would be necessary to service a huge new building. The only access to the new building’s garage will be the small alley from Lake or Main streets. A six-story building will cut off all the light to the apartments involved and the pollution from so many vehicles will cause far too much distress in the neighborhood. The many residents are used to walking in the downtown area and this new situation will greatly affect their health and safety. We urge the City Council of Kirkland to keep our special city free from all the complexities of big business’s cause. As a residential city, it is really one-of-a-kind and very special to those who have always loved it and have known it for years. Thank you for any help you can provide in solving this congestion.
Glenna Rohrback, Kirkland
Think about it What on earth is Kirkland’s latest challenge being proposed by “Lake Street Property?” This is a six-story building. We have lived in Kirkland 63 years and raised our large family here. Now, I am a widow living happily at Merrill Gardens. We have seen many changes over these years - mostly good ones. However, some cautions must be considered now.
Our driveway leading to the Merrill Gardens front door and our parking lot is always busy. There are delivery trucks, large trucks moving people into Merrill Gardens, the ambulance or fire engines several times a week, people being dropped or picked up at our door, our Merrill Gardens bus in and out. In this new building plan, there will be 280 cars parked in their fourstory garage. Every morning and evening 280 cars could be going through our “driveway.” The exhaust from the cars could be a health problem to some at Merrill Gardens. Walking across would be impossible. After the building is erected, we could walk from our door and across the driveway immediately bumping into a hard six-story wall. Kirkland, think about it.
Agnes Anstett, Kirkland
Consider your children’s future (I sent the following letter to Bill Pettit, president and CEO of Merrill Gardens, and Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride). What does Kirkland mean to you? Over the last 50 years my children and I have lived in and around Kirkland and I have watched this wonderful city lose that wonderful ambiance that brought visitors from all over the state. I have been one of the silent ones - those who watch the condos go up, the businesses leave, the parking become more and more of a problem, and the lovely old homes torn down and mega palaces go up (and up), and I’ve done nothing. I actually live in Merrill Gardens
(five stories) and watched the 101 Apartments being built. However, now I want to have my say and encourage you to at least think about what is going on in Kirkland that will certainly impact you or your family. On Lake Street between Hector’s and Milagra, Mr. McLeod is erecting an office building and garage. It will take in the whole area between those two buildings and back to where the Portsmith Condominiums begins, taking in what is now a parking lot for several businesses. This building will be six stories in height and will have businesses on the ground floor and top floors for offices, plus a parking garage and loading platform on the alley between 101 Apartments and Hectors. This alley is used for food deliveries (for Hectors, Milagra, Volterra, Tully’s and Merrill Gardens), service deliveries for the same businesses, plus the Bank of America, garbage trucks, mail and package deliveries from FedEx and UPS, not to mention the moving vans for both Merrill Gardens and Apartment 101. Most importantly it is used for EMS services largely for Merrill Gardens, but also any other emergency occurring in this vicinity. This alley also is an access to the Apartment 101 underground garage, as well as the drive-in service for the bank. Now, I’m sure you all know the width of a normal alley, two normalsized vehicles have a difficult time passing, right? I want you to consider in the morning hours having any number of these vehicles arriving for their normal business day in this alley, [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

rules? My concern as an HOA president is that we plan all repairs in a systemized way, we rarely do one-off repairs as this is not methodical, much more expensive and not budgeted. Many repairs are cited that could be HOA expenses, meaning we have to raise monthly dues for our unit owners. If government interference weren’t part of the Section 8 program, it might be fabulous. The King County Housing Authority website, however, clearly brings up issues that go beyond non-discrimination and become government intrusion.

I have questions of my own The letter writer of the recent letter, “Eastside has a human services crisis,” Mr. Sanderson has a good question. If a nonprofit, or some other agency, is dependent on having homeless people for their
own survival, what is their incentive to actually get homeless people off the street and into some form of self-sufficiency? People make a living off of poverty, especially politicians. Politicians know robbing Peter to pay Paul will get Paul’s vote almost every time. Their existence depends on poverty by granting entitlements and protecting their interests. I have questions of my own. Why do I have to use Facebook to post a comment? Facebook has its problems that I don’t want to be exposed to. Mr. Sanderson appears to be intelligent. He may or may not have access to Internet. Does he have a cell phone? It appears he has the time to write letters. How is he at writing resumes? Why is he homeless? Is the reason he gets up in the morning to find a job or is it to foster his homeless cause? Thank goodness we have volunteers. Are they getting paid?

Police arrest mail thieves after finding hundreds of letters BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Online bill pay and email are taking more and more items out of mailboxes and putting them on the internet. But two suspects arrested in Edmonds Tuesday may have been helping themselves to what is left in Bothell, Kenmore and Kirkland mailboxes. Edmonds officers made a traffic stop on a male driver and passenger at 1:30 a.m. with no headlights turned on. Upon contact, officers realized
the driver had a suspended license and arrested him. “During the on-scene investigation the officers determined that due to the driver having a suspended license … and that the vehicle was parked illegally, they would impound the car,” said Edmonds Police Department spokesman Sgt. Mark Marsh. “While doing an inventory of the car, in front of the driver, the officer immediately discovered numerous articles of mail and other items that had names on it other than the driver and

– is planned to be built in downtown Kirkland, behind Lake Street and Kirkland Avenue (behind Hector’s Restaurant). Although the Kirkland Planning Commission has approved the design of this huge building, they have not considered the environmental impact on the community of Kirkland. For example, there will be a significant increase in traffic. About 80 cars will be displaced from the existing off street parking and will have to find parking on the street. There are additional environmental impacts on health, safety and community welfare as well. These issues could be studied with an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), but the Planning Commission at present is not requiring one. If you are concerned about your community, please write to the Planning Commission and ask them to require an EIS before they begin construction which is estimated to begin this May.

(NAPSI)—At the height of the financial crisis in 2008, the U.S. government bailed out our nation’s banks and nationalized our home mortgage system. Four years later, most of those bailouts have ended and taxpayers have been repaid in full. Unfortunately, that is not the case for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Remarkably, they remain in government control, continue to dominate the mortgage market, and still owe taxpayers over $140 billion. Neither Congress nor the White House has a viable plan to get that money back or to get the government out of housing finance. As a result, taxpayers—not banks or investors—are

now on the hook for trillions of dollars of mortgage risk. And the government continues to add to that risk, accounting for over 90 percent of new mortgage credit today, double the amount it provided just a few years ago. Even worse, recent actions in Washington threaten to make Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac permanent wards of the state. Moreover, millions of potential homeowners cannot get a mortgage because private sources of housing credit are scarce. But there is a plan to fix it. Former officials from the Obama and Bush administrations, Jim Millstein and Phillip Swagel, have crafted a way to restart private housing markets, ensure access to affordable 30-year mortgages and protect taxpayers from future bailouts.

or the first time since 2008, contribution limits have risen for one of the most popular retirement savings vehicles available: the IRA. This means you’ve got a greater opportunity to put more money away for your “golden years.” Effective earlier this year, you can now put in up to $5,500 (up from $5,000 in 2012) to a traditional or Roth IRA when you make your 2013 contribution. And if you’re 50 or older, you can put in an additional $1,000 above the new contribution limit. Over time, the extra sums from the higher contribution limits can add up. Consider this example: If you put in $5,000 per year to an IRA for 30 years, and you earned a hypothetical 7% per year, you’d wind up with slightly over $505,000. But if you contributed $5,500 per year for those same 30 years, and earned that same 7% per year, you’d accumulate almost $556,000 — about $51,000 more than with the lower contribution limit. Keep in mind that if you have invested the above amounts in a traditional, tax-deferred IRA, you’ll be taxed on your withdrawals at your ordinary income tax rate. With a Roth IRA, your contributions are made with after-tax funds, but your withdrawals have the potential to be tax-free — provided you’ve had your account at least five years and don’t start taking withdrawals until you’re 59½. (Not everyone is eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA, as income limits apply.) If you have an IRA, you already know its advantages. If you aren’t investing in an IRA, you should be aware of these key benefits: Tax-deferred growth — A traditional IRA can provide tax-deferred growth while a Roth IRA can potentially grow tax-free, provided you meet the conditions described above.

able for your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals. Of course, investing always carries some risks, including loss of principal — but the risk of not investing may be greater, in terms of not having enough assets for retirement. Here’s one more point to keep in mind: The earlier in the year you “max out” on your IRA contributions, the more time you’ll give your account to potentially grow. By reaching the new, higher contribution limits, and by fully funding your IRA as early in each year as possible, you can help yourself take full advantage of this powerful retirement savings tool.

The American Camping Association slogan says “camp does kids a world of good” and it’s so true. Good camps expose children to a safe, uplifting world of diversity, challenge, fun and success. Nowadays, there are specialized camps for every interest. But no matter the camp, it should include experiences rarely encountered in traditional schools that have moved away from holistic learning. The arts, for instance, are less available due to budget limitations. Camp should always be a holistic learning environment, where lessons of life, sports, technology, the arts and outdoor experience should be experienced through the “head, heart and hands.” Even at technology camps, artistic thinking should be endemic - not just for fun, but because
camps should strive for the same, because camp could be the last place many children will find an environment that is balanced between the head, heart and hands. With this balance in

Those three things – attachment, boundaries and expression – are key to social strength and loving relationships. It’s amazing how living day-to-day outdoors, and night-by-night in close quarters with others, will help anyone grow up fast. And with well-trained camp counselors, your child should receive the supervision and support needed to process these experiences into personal strength. But just being away from home causes children to form relationships and attach fast. Just having to focus on tasks outdoors forces children to self-regulate and form boundaries. And simply having myriad opportunities for expression – songs, skits, and other rituals – demonstrates to children how appropriate expression is the antidote for oppression, depression and other things that hold people back. So find a way to give your child the experience camp, and you should see that it was exactly where they needed to be this summer when they return, often “a year more mature” than when they left, as many parents have expressed to me during my years as a camp director. It’s a true joy to see children transform through this “world of good” that is the summer camp experience.

$10 billion House transportation revenue plan to fund new projects, hikes state gas tax, adds fees BY KYLEE ZABEL WNPA Olympia News Bureau
House Democrats rolled out a $10 billion 10-year transportation-revenue package Wednesday calling for, among other revenue sources, a 10-cent increase in the gas tax. House Transportation Committee Chair Rep. Judy Clibborn (D- 41st District, Mercer Island) and fellow Democrat legislators introduced what they call the Connecting Washington plan, which is intended to relieve congestion on roadways, help with maintenance costs, manage storm water and connect Washington businesses to local, national and global markets. “Improving our transportation system is critical to Washington’s economy,” said President of the Washington Roundtable Steve Mullin. “This will be the start of a robust conversation in Olympia about how to address an estimated $50 billion in transportation needs.” But some are opposed
to increasing taxes at a time when Washingtonian families are still struggling economically. One, Rep. Ed Orcutt (R20th District, Kalama) said the Legislature shouldn’t be exploring how to raise taxes to fund new projects but should be considering reforms to reduce project costs and efficiently spend taxpayer dollars. “We need to see how we can make our tax dollars go further before we reach further into taxpayers’ pockets,” he said. The package includes seven sources of revenue to fund a variety of projects, including • $1 billion to the Puget Sound Gateway project (SR 167/SR509), • $675 million for the widening of I-405 and connecting the express toll lanes to existing HOT lanes on I-405 and • $450 million to the Columbia River Crossing (CRC) project, the maximum amount of funding needed from Washington state on the CRC. More than $2.1 billion

Ryan particularly appreciates the support given by ranger Mary and Diane at the Bridle Trails State Park and the friends, fellow scouts and members of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stakes of Totem Lake and Juanita Ryan L.

dollars would help fund further development of current infrastructure, such as the aging fleet of the Washington Ferry System, transit agencies and freight mobility improvements. In total, the package explicitly funds 11 projects and provides local governments with $675 million for infrastructure spending. A total of $2.5 billion is expected to be raised by the gas tax. As the package stands now, there would be a two-cent gas tax increase each year for five years, making the tax slightly less than 48 cents per gallon. In combination with state and federal gas taxes, a total of 66 cents per gallon would be charged at the pump. Other revenue would come from Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) (about $2.1 billion), bonds ($3 billion), hazardous substance tax to help in storm water management ($897 million), vehicle licensing fee ($196 million), commercial gross weight fee ($102 million) and a bicycle sales fee of $25 on bicycles costing more than $500 ($1

Kirkland students bring NY to the Eastside with FAME Jr. CORE Theatrics proudly will present FAME Jr. featuring Kirkland students Carly Taylor, Isabella Adad, Jessica Sparks-Stuht, and Sara Anderson. The performance runs at 7 p.m. March 1 and 2; and 2 p.m. March 3 at Lake Washington High School Performing Arts Center, 12033 N.E. 80th St., Kirkland. “I am learning and growing so much while working with CORE Theatrics and the fantastic Fame cast,” said Jessica. “I am enjoying playing the dance teacher Ms. Bell!” This is Sara’s first show at CORE, and she says she is “honored to be here. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone. What a talented cast.” FAME Jr. is set during the last years of New York City’s celebrated High School for the Performing
a small piece of the vast swath of issues that need to be addressed in transportation reform, such as the costs of environmental mitigation and the amount of time Washington bonds on projects. The revenue plan is also anticipated to create and sustain about 56,000 jobs during its 10-year run, including construction jobs and positions in ancillary industries. “It’s not just about hard hats. It’s also a great package for those jobs that show up tomorrow because we will have connected the rest of the state,” said Clibborn. England said that justifying an increase in taxes for the benefit of job creation is just special-interest politics at work. “The point of government spending on infrastructure is to create infrastructure, not to create jobs,” he said. “The idea that we should tax the people of Washington state more in order to create jobs or enhance the wages of a few people…that’s classic, special-interest politics. It’s not good policy.” Following a press conference about the revenue package Wednesday, Clibborn filed HB 1954, the Connecting Washington revenue package. The bill awaits assignment to committee for consideration Arts on 46th Street (19801984). FAME Jr. is the bittersweet but ultimately inspiring story of a diverse group of students as they commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today. With its topical subject manner, singers, dancers and instrumentalists and high-energy, contemporary pop score (which includes the hit title song), FAME Jr. is an ideal musical for young performers. FAME Jr. is a PG show recommended for ages 8 and up. The performance is directed by Leslie Connor, musically directed by Blake Saunders, and choreographed by Sheri Lewis. Tickets may be purchased online at www. coretheatrics.com/upcomingshows.htm. Ticket prices are $14 students and seniors and $16 for adults. Group rates available for groups of 10 or more at $10 per ticket, email coretheatrics2008@gmail.com for group tickets.
