Gov. Jay Inslee speaks about Google’s announcement to double its footprint in Kirkland. The new 180,000 square-foot structure will be adjacent to the current campus, across the Cross Kirkland Corridor, and is expected to be finished in 2015. CARRIE RODRIGUEZ, Kirkland Reporter
Google announces plans to expand BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
G
ov. Jay Inslee, Kirkland Mayor Joan McBride, and officials from Google and SRM Development announced Tuesday evening plans to double Kirkland’s Google campus. “This is something all of Washington should be celebrating,” said Inslee. “Kirkland is not just a label of Costco, it’s a great place to innovate.” The new 180,000 squarefoot building is set to finish in the spring of 2015 but construction with SRM Development may begin as early as late June. It will be placed at the formerly contaminated 5-acre Pace National Corporation site, adjacent to the current location. Two buildings in an “Lshape” with two stories and two levels of underground parking will have, at minimum, a LEED Gold certification. But Dave Tomson, the development manager of SRM Development, said
they are going to try to work with DLR Group, the architectural firm, to make LEED Platinum certification a possibility. “The new site will be fun, whimsical and stimulating, but it will also have large investments in environmental responsibility,” said Chee Chew, the vice president of engineering at Google. Whether it be eliminating 16,000 metric tons of carbon waste or designing a cafeteria with a bicycle powered milkshake machine – such as what the current building has – the new location will
also be one of innovation. “We’re focused on creating healthy work environments that help Googlers perform at their best every day and reflect our open and collaborative culture,” said a Google spokesperson in an email. The expansion comes at a time when the City of Kirkland has its own plans of developing the Cross Kirkland Corridor for trail use. Tomson said they are working with the city to use the corridor to connect the current Google campus to the new one. McBride said Google has
been an exceptional corporate citizen since it arrived in 2009. The current campus holds 195,000-squarefeet of office space and roughly 1,000 employees but upon construction of the new building, employees will likely double. In 2012 alone, Google hired hundreds of employees in the Puget Sound area. Kirkland engineers have worked on high profile projects such as Google+, Cloud and Chrome. Some may say Chew’s leadership has made Kirkland’s campus a “hotbed for innovation and product development” for some of Google’s most popular and heavily used services. Chew believes this is a great opportunity for the company and the surrounding community. Since 2011, Google gave $4.5 million in grants for programs in engineering research, the STEM education program and other nonprofits. Statistics for 2011 indicate Google’s economic impact has reached $3.5 billion for Washington businesses and nonprofits.

Nearby workers rescue dog inside burning home BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Kirkland firefighters responded to a house fire near Peter Kirk Elementary March 7. Initial reports at 1:30 p.m. said there was an explosion at the back of the single-story home at the 1300 block of 5th Ln. in Kirkland’s Norkirk neighborhood.

Hoover said. “It then burned into the house.” After firefighters attacked the fire from the back, they moved inside to put it out in the attic. Firefighters deemed the fire out at 2:12 p.m. “The cause is under investigation but there were propane appliances in the back that were on fire when
the first engine crew arrived,” Hoover said. Meanwhile, homeowner Jeff Raulsun, who was not home at the time, received more than five calls from concerned neighbors. “Neighbor, neighbor, neighbor. Call, call, call,” Raulsun said. “They called my office and then there was a chain reaction. I just started
getting everybody unloading on my cell phone.” Raulsun stood looking at his house with neighbors by his side as one neighbor offered her basement to him. Raulsun confirmed he and his two dogs and one bird, who are safe, were the only ones who lived there. “I’m just trying to digest it all,” he said.

Some Juanita neighbors greet their longtime mail carrier Steve Conover (center) for his final day on the job March 8 after 36 years as a mail carrier. RAECHEL DAWSON, Kirkland Reporter anonymous mailman.” Conover spent the last 32 years of his 36 year mail carrier career doing just that. “We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have had Steve as our postman for the last 32 years,” said Kirkland resident Nona Ganz. “Constantly upbeat, friendly and accommodating, he will be sorely missed. Whenever I see a Kirkland mail truck, I look to see if Steve is behind the wheel. I will probably always think of him when I see the U.S. Postal Service.” Aisha Houghton, a Kirkland resident, recalls one Christmas when her 4-year-old daughter put a letter in the mailbox for Santa Claus. To her surprise, there was a reply back saying he was sorry he didn’t reply back sooner. The letter wasn’t postmarked, but Houghton is almost certain it was Conover. “She could not have been more thrilled,” Houghton said. “It was so sweet.” The Bargers say their three boys always flock to him in hopes of picking out a lollipop and their dog has even followed him down the road for a few blocks. Conover said he does the gesture because he’s “got to keep everybody happy.” “It’s fun. I enjoy when the kids come out and say ‘hi,’” said Conover, who provides the
treats at his own expense. “I’ve seen people come and go, kids have kids and they come back. It’s really a great feeling, you feel like you’re a part of … you get that small-town feel, which you don’t get anymore.” Upon retiring from the postal service, Conover has already started a new line of work: Driving school buses. The opportunity arose when his wife, who works for the Lake Washington School District, noticed the bus drivers were under-staffed and in need of help. Conover and his wife are looking forward to sharing the same work schedule, which may lead to more time with family. “As a family, we didn’t get a lot of vacationing,” said Conover, who lives in the Norkirk neighborhood. “I got very involved in coaching and because everything happens on Saturdays, I would use all my vacation time to coach.” With his new job, he is excited he will get to interact with children and do something new after so long but he can’t deny, he will miss a career that was so deeply ingrained in the community. “That interaction that I got with the postal customers is what I’ll miss the most, he said. “It’s what made my job special. I’ve really enjoyed being a part of the community and the Postal Service. It’s something that I’m proud of.”

Spin a pinwheel to remember Hartley I created Pinwheel Day to support a Kirkland family who lost their 1 year old son on March 10, 2012 just nine days before his second birthday. Lincoln Hartley had special needs and worked hard to learn how to spin toys and when he did he loved spinning toys. His mom planned to decorate his second birthday with pinwheels but he died nine days before his birthday. Instead, at his funeral a group of friends made 400 pinwheels to give to each person Lincoln Hartley who attended the funeral. This year as the first anniversary of his death and his third birthday approaches, I have created Pinwheel Day. Pinwheel Day is March 19 and is about giving love, kindness and service and putting a pinwheel in your yard and sharing on Facebook what you did to spin hearts. I would love to see all of Kirkland spinning with pinwheels and everyone spinning hearts. We have hundreds of people following the Facebook page. And this year on the anniversary of his death a kind neighbor put 100 pinwheels down the Hartleys street and covered their mailboxes with mini pinwheels.

Corporations erode power of free speech According to your March 1 article on “Corporations are not people,” Councilmembers Penny Sweet and Toby Nixon voted against a resolution stating corporations are not persons for the purposes of regulating elections. You further note that Nixon argues “freedom of assembly” is a basis for corporate citizenship, stating “It is the people who make up a corporation who are doing their rights.” It would seem obvious that most employees, who are paid to be assembled into a corporation, are not expecting to influence their employer’s political views, nor in any way to “petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Working in a corporation is a commercial contract; it is not voluntary assembly for political activism. I seriously doubt corporate employees are expecting their political rights be forfeited to the corporation. That would require an alternative political system. For-profit corporations have the one responsibility to make a profit. As such they desire influence over government decisions that affect them. In a truly competitive free market, excess influence would be somewhat limited as market competitors demand fair play. Yet, in today’s markets of finance, communications, media, entertainment and energy we have massively consolidated industries that are too big to fail and now, apparently, too big to prosecute. These industries are able to bring extreme resources into
election campaigns, not without the insignificant strategic help of questionable nonprofit corporations. They have been able to greatly influence the creation, enforcement and judgment of laws affecting their industries; whether to stifle competition, create favorable tax loopholes, loosen environmental laws at the peril of human citizens and even expand the definition of nonprofit corporations for their clandestine electioneering – while also limiting media attention upon their favored status – just to mention a few examples. It is my contention that these wellfinanced entities, controlling much of the medium and the message, have filtered and stove-piped convoluted interpretations of our Constitution (despite its concise wording) through the few mass media channels of information currently existing in our country, thereby trying to make the absurd credible. This twisted logic demeans the integrity of every citizen who walks into a city council meeting expecting to be heard by their representatives as opposed to corporate-sponsored representatives – and seriously erodes the real power of FREE speech.

McLeod building would be hazardous to our health Being almost 87 years old and living at Merrill Gardens in Kirkland, I’m astonished that a project such as the McLeod project is being considered. The emissions and increased traffic would be hazardous to our health and safety, not to mention firetrucks and ambulances that service the elderly being able to park and turn around and leave. Shame on you Stuart McLeod. Don’t let this happen and spoil downtown Kirkland and endanger Kirkland residents.

Prohibiting Section 8 discrimination (The following letter was sent to the Kirkland City Council from various members of the Eastside Homelessness Advisory Committee). As members of EHAC and as the homeless housing and service providers of your community, we urge you to adopt Ordinance 0-4384 to prohibit the refusal to rent available housing based solely on a tenant’s use of a Section 8 voucher to pay a portion of their rent. The Section 8 program plays a vital role in giving low-income families access to safe, healthy, market-rate housing they can afford. If enacted, Kirkland would join 13 states and 38 local jurisdictions that have enacted source of income discrimination laws to ensure that vulnerable populations, such as veterans, families fleeing domestic violence, children, seniors, and people with disabilities, have an equal chance of renting a home. This ordinance supports one of the main ways to prevent homelessness and keep housing available to vulnerable populations in the city since Section 8 vouchers make housing affordable to residents who would normally be priced out of the private housing market. Specifically, this ordinance would: 1. Protect the 400 households in Kirkland currently using Section 8 vouchers from the disruption of moving, should the landlord discriminate against them based on their use of a voucher. 2. Protect Kirkland households who will be issued a Section 8 voucher from discrimination and from possibly having to leave the city in order to find safe, healthy, affordable housing. 3. Close a loophole for landlords who use the Section 8 program as a proxy for discriminating against other
protected classes, such as race or family status. Section 8 cannot be fully effective so long as landlords are allowed to refuse to rent to people solely because they are using a Section 8 voucher to pay part of their rent. In communities where rents are low and vacancies are high, private landlords are more than willing to accept vouchers and even lobby for new public funding for vouchers. But in communities like Kirkland, where vacancy rates are low and rents are highest, landlords are suddenly quick to judge voucher programs and reticent to accept the vouchers they so strongly supported for other markets. As our programs continue the hard fight to end homelessness, we find this unacceptable. People at-risk of homelessness should not depend on a weak rental market to find housing. Low-income people in strong rental markets rely even more so on programs like Section 8 to access safe, affordable housing. We understand that landlords have concerns about the Section 8 program. Given that many of our organizations are landlords who rent to households with Section 8 vouchers, we can say with certainty that these concerns are unfounded. Landlords would not be unduly burdened by this ordinance. Over the past 22 years, landlords in the cities of Seattle and Bellevue have operated under a similar ordinance with minimal disruption, despite initial widespread concern. Local landlords have voiced similar fears, but they rest on inaccurate information. Here are the facts: • Great benefits to landlords: Under Section 8, the King County Housing Authority pays their share of the rent on time every month.

from last year’s count of 138 people. “I have been stunned when people ask me, ‘Do we really have homeless people on the Eastside,’” said Barron, who has been with KITH for five months. “So the answer is yes, we do have homeless people in our community.” During the event, keynote speaker Dr. Joseph Castleberry, who is the president of Northwest University, spoke about the community’s “incredible moral opportunity” to help those experiencing homelessness. The Bill Petter Homeless Housing Advocate Award was also given to Ron Boscola, general manager of Bellevue-based Murray Franklyn.

whistles because I was making a lot of money at that time. But it still wasn’t a home.” He said the economy and the “friction in the household” caused him and his then-wife Julia Biryukova to lose both homes. The couple was going through a contentious marriage. Then he received the news. “The worst news that any parent can ever hear is when you see three cops come to your door and say, ‘Well, where’s your son,’” he recalled. “On Nov. 6, 2011 I found out that my little boy, Sky Metalwala, was missing and that led me to do hundreds and hundreds of searches, uncountable interviews and I couldn’t work. There was no way.” The boy’s mother told police that she left Sky in her car after it ran out of gas in Bellevue that day. She claims she walked with her daughter to get help and when she returned the boy was gone. The investigation into the boy’s whereabouts is still ongoing and police have found few leads. In the meantime, Metalwala’s divorce was finalized in March 2012 and he was given custody of his daughter. Biryukova, who has refused to speak with investigators about her son’s disappearance, was disallowed visitation rights with her daughter. Following the disappearance, Metalwala moved into his mother’s Kirkland home. “We kind of nourished our little family to a point where we needed our own place,” he said. “But not working, not having an income and also going through a divorce and lawyers, every saving I had was gone.” That’s when God “put a notion” in his heart that he should get a place of his own so that he could “grow” with his daughter, he said. “I said alright Jesus, that’s fine but did you see my bank account,” he said as the audience laughed. One of his friends told him about how she had received housing help from Section 8, but that it would probably take him a couple of years to secure housing under that program. So he connected with KITH – Kirkland Interfaith Transitions in Housing – a nonprofit organization in Kirkland that combats homelessness within the Eastside community. In less than two months, he moved into an apartment with his daughter in October 2012. “My daughter and I, we got to celebrate her birthday in a home where there’s so much love,” he said. “We don’t have any bells and whistles, but we have a place where we’re safe. We know when we come home we can just be ourselves. And when you’re homeless, you don’t have that kind of grounding. [A home] provides you with that.” He meets with his KITH caseworker every two weeks and they are working on moving him towards self-sufficiency by the end of the year. He said KITH has been invaluable to his family as they move through their grief and re-focus their lives. “Almost every day Maile comes to me and says, ‘I love our home. I love our little apartment,’” said Metalwala. “And I just thank God that we have a place that we can just call our own and she can grow up with just the initial things.” Jennifer Barron, executive director of KITH, noted that this year’s One Night Count, organized by the Seattle/King County Coalition on Homelessness, found 190 people without shelter on the Eastside in January.

to their own climates. They stressed slowing down to enjoy your food, eating locally and getting out in the sunshine and salt water. For us Seattleites, we may not have the sun and salt water as much as the Spaniards, but we could do a better job of embracing our climate and eating according to it. The weather is now cold and the sun is just starting to peek out more often. The ground is starting to warm a bit, tulips are blooming and rain is becoming less frequent. Ideally for us, we need to eat cauliflower, finish up apple season, enjoy leeks and onions for a couple more months and start looking forward to asparagus, kale, rhubarb and baby spinach that will be ready for April. PCC has a great interactive seasonal produce calendar so you can check out what else is fresh: www.pccnaturalmarkets.com/products/produce/ inseason. So eat your tomatoes, dress with your olive oil, pop a few nuts and drink your wine, but don’t forget to stand in the sunshine and remember that foods, like flowers, have a season.

terranean diet lowers your risk of cardio trouble. When an NPR reporter asked some Spaniards about the study, they agreed – their food is excellent. But, they also said that even more than the types of food they eat, it’s the climate. They put more emphasis on following the climate - eating local foods that grow in season. They stated that growing or importing food out of season loses nutrient content and people were originally designed to eat according Ashley Besecker

Southern Italy. This olive oil, tomato and wine diet is what we now refer to as the Mediterranean diet, which many authors have cashed in on with books and kitschy programs. It popped up again recently after another cohort study
others were just advised to lower their fat intake. In the end, there were a total of 288 cardio events (heart attacks) that occurred out of all the participants. The group eating the Mediterranean diet plus nuts had 83 events. The group eating the diet plus extra virgin olive oil had 96 events. The last group had 109 events.

don’t have to bother with confusing pruning instructions. Most people’s favorite plants are available in compact, no-prune varieties: Hydrangea lovers can try Little Lime or Bobo dwarfpanicle hydrangeas or the tidy Cityline series of big-leaf hydrangea. Rose fans should take note of the low-growing Oso Easy series with its range of 10 vivid colors, all under 3’ high. Even butterfly bush, a shrub notorious for its giant, sprawling habit, is available in a compact 2’ height with the innovative Lo & Behold series. 4. Choose plants with high-quality, attractive foliage. These look great even when not in bloom, beautifying your landscape for months instead of just a few weeks. Colorful foliage, including the dark purple of Black Lace elderberry or the cheery gold of Chardonnay Pearls deutzia, and variegated foliage, such as My Monet weigela or Sugar Tip hibiscus, make engaging focal points from early spring through late fall. Mix them with such evergreens as Castle Spire holly and Soft Serve false cypress for yearround color. 5. Plant in masses of three, five or seven of the same kind of plant. This gives your landscape a cohesive, professionally designed appearance. Plus, weeds cannot grow if desirable plants are already taking up the space, eliminating that notoriously tiresome garden chore. Planting in groups of odd numbers is a designer’s secret for a bold statement that doesn’t feel too formal or fussy. 6. Mulch. A two- to threeinch-thick layer of shredded bark mulch not only gives your landscape a pleasing, finished look, it conserves water by reducing evaporation. It also keeps plant roots cool and shaded, allowing for healthy, vigorous growth

(NAPSI)—Anyone who thinks a low-maintenance landscape has to be plain green and ugly should think again. With a bit of planning, some smart plant choices and the help of these seven garden designer secrets, you can have a yard that’s the envy of your neighborhood and enough time to enjoy it. 1. Choose plants that will flourish given the realities of your yard. Some plants like full sun while others tolerate shade; some don’t mind freezing temperatures while others are unfazed by relentless heat. Selecting plants that thrive in the existing conditions of your site ensures a healthy, attractive landscape. Observe the light levels around your home - six to eight hours plus of uninterrupted sun each day indicates full sun, four to six hours is considered part shade or part sun, and less than four hours would be a shaded site. Plants at the garden center should have tags that tell you their light preferences. Shopping locally helps ensure that all the plants you see will be suitable for the climate in your yard. 2. Plant drought-tolerant shrubs. These specially adapted plants thrive with limited water once they are established (usually after their first season in the ground). Drought-tolerant plants sail through hot summer days easily, saving you the time and money it takes to water the landscape. Read the tag attached to the shrub for information on its drought tolerance or look for visual cues such as silverygrey leaves, as are found on Petit Bleu caryopteris, and narrow, needlelike foliage, as on Fine Line rhamnus. 3. Spare yourself the time it takes to prune your plants by opting for compact varieties. Compact (also known as dwarf) plants never get too large for the space where you’ve planted them so you

New infertility clinic offers hope for families at lower price BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com

billed on a line-by-line basis. Nonetheless, Opsahl said two out of three patients do not have insurance coverage. “Often when you go to an infertility clinic when you need IVF, it’s like going to a restaurant,” Opsahl said. “You have a menu, and depending upon your medical condition, you choose different selections off the menu. If you end up needing more office visits, you get an extra bill at the end. We’ve taken that away.” Their Refund Warranty Program also allows for 90 percent cash back if families cannot get pregnant. Remedying some of the stress and confusion by reducing cost could have more benefits than saving money. Dr. Opsahl explains there’s a fair amount of research that stress can hinder a couple’s ability to get pregnant. “We thought, let’s try to take out as much of the financial aspect of it that creates angst, anxiety, turmoil,” said Wiemer, “so that people can focus on their treatment going into it, that this is what it’s going to cost in the beginning, and then at the end there won’t be any surprises, which can happen a lot.” But for couples such as the Lehrs, spending
Jennifer and Tom Lehr sit with their 2.5 year old boy Quinten. The Lehrs used In Vitro Fertilization to create their family after finding out they were infertile in 2009. Now, they’re expecting their second child and will go to Poma Fertility for their third. RAECHEL DAWSON, KIRKLAND REPORTER thousands of dollars to get pregnant was something they were able to work out, even though many families cannot. “Honestly, I have no idea how we’ve gotten here today, financially,” Jennifer said. “Family is one thing we both knew we really wanted so we were going to do whatever it took to get it.” “Whether it be cashing out retirement…” Tom added. “Yep, we’re going to work
until we’re 100. It’s all worth it to us,” Jennifer said. “I think most people who are put into our position find a way to make it happen because you become so passionate about it and it’s just what you want.” Whether families have a baby or not, going through fertility treatments and IVF cycles can be emotionally trying and having a clinic that caters to the individual family is necessary for many. “(In the beginning) we

wo-and-a-half year old Quinten is enamored with his mother’s smartphone. As his parents talk, he sits quietly watching a cartoon. He is calm, content and a little shy. More than three years ago, Quinten was frozen as an embryo in liquid nitrogen as his parents went through the stressful process of bypassing infertility. “Our joke is, because he’s so calm and mellow - he’s got this great disposition - because he was frozen, it chilled him out for awhile,” said Quinten’s mother, Jennifer Lehr, with a laugh. “We’re hoping the next one is just as calm and relaxed.” Jennifer and Tom Lehr of Kirkland are expecting a little girl at the end of June, and after she is settled in, they hope to unfreeze their last embryo and give it another go at Kirkland’s new infertility clinic, Poma Fertility. Dr. Michael Opsahl and partner Dr. Klaus Wiemer were initially the Lehr’s doctors at a previous clinic, but after the doctors left their
old practice when it sold, they decided to start over and open Poma Fertility on Feb. 11. So far, it’s been a success. With renewed gusto, Opsahl and Wiemer worked to create a fertility clinic that offered In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for all families by significantly reducing its cost for self-pay patients. IVF is the process of stimulating the women’s body to produce many eggs, which are retrieved by a doctor. The eggs are then fertilized and cultured for several days. Typically, two embryos are implanted back in the uterus while the rest are frozen for later use. Sometimes the embryos attach, sometimes they don’t. The Lehrs had a total of eight embryos. According to Dr. Opsahl, the average price for an IVF cycle can be up to $15,000 by the time all of the different treatments are totaled. Poma Fertility offers self-pay patients one set price of $8,500 for an IVF cycle (that rate does not include certain treatments, such as cycle medication). But for those who have insurance, pricing differs because each ultrasound or blood work is

were referred to a much larger practice and we went in there and it just didn’t feel… we kind of felt like a number. We didn’t have that personal feel,” Jennifer said. “Then we had some referrals over to their practice. When you walked in, you literally got the feeling that you were the only person that they were working with. You were the only couple. You felt like you mattered. They knew you by name. The staff knew who you were and you know, when you’re going through a process like this, you need that warm fuzzy cuddly feeling because it’s hard.” At Poma, Dr. Opsahl said he sees the patients all the way through, which can help because it’s already confusing for families. Wiemer adds, because Poma utilizes a smaller lab, the variables are easier to control and the faces are easier to remember. “I’ve managed some really large labs and it does become a blur,” Wiemer said. “But when laboratories get so big, the variables that can control and impact the outcome can become larger because you have a lot more people doing stuff … You’re trying to mimic in the laboratory what mother nature and evolution have done for millions of years and that’s not a trivial thing to do.” In addition to less expensive IVF treatments, Poma Fertility offers egg freezing, or vitrification, for women who want to wait for children; they specialize in Oncofertility; and genetic testing, among other services.
