Northwest University music students turn assignment into cash BY KAYLA ROBERTS Special to the Reporter

tudents Noël Young and Josh Pineda began what seemed to be just another class project at Northwest University, but within months they were flying to California for a music gig and $2,000. Northwest University’s (NU) Creatio, a music program within the business department, has been creating tangible success for students since director Jeff Lockhart launched the program in 2009. There are around 60 music business majors every year at NU. For five years, students have seen 100 percent job placement upon graduation, according to Lockhart. “We have more opportunities and requests for interns than we can fill in every single semester,” he said. For the survey of music business class at NU, Lockhart assigns a final project in which students showcase an element of music business. This could be anything from a presentation on copyright to booking shows for a hypothetical band. “This is my favorite thing I do as a professor,” said

Lockhart, who has been at NU for 15 years and began as the director of marketing and public relations. He now teaches classes such as music copyright and publishing, rock band ensemble and marketing 101. Young and Pineda collaborated on the project and made a YouTube video covering Ed Sheeran’s song “Thinking out Loud.” Then they created a hypothetical business as a musical duo and researched a marketing plan that focused on social media. Lockhart encourages students not to think of this assignment as a project alone but as a launch pad into a future business. That is exactly what Young and Pineda did. On March 13, Pineda posted the video on YouTube, which was filmed by a recent NU graduate. On the same day, Young shared the video on her Facebook page. Shortly after posting the video, Young received a Facebook message from a woman she used to work with named Diljot Sahota. A little over a month before her wedding, Sahota clicked on the video while scrolling through her Facebook newsfeed. She wanted “Thinking out Loud” to be

her and her husband’s first dance, and a live rendition would “make the song and moment more sentimental and personal,” Sahota said via email. Excited by the opportunity to get her name in any kind of spotlight, Young told Sahota that she and Pineda would sing at her wedding for free. However, when she found out that the wedding was in California, Young began to give up on the idea. Two days later, she received a Facebook message that Sahota’s fiancé thought they would be perfect for the wedding reception and would pay them $2,000 in addition to travel expenses. Young said aspiring artists need to be shown that they don’t have to keep performing for free. Sahota showed them their worth as musicians, and for that Young is grateful. Sahota’s traditional Indian wedding included five days of celebrations, and Young and Pineda performed for 1,000 guests at the reception on April 25. The highlight for Sahota and many of the guests was when Young and Pineda performed “Lucky” by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat for a dance with the bride, groom and their

daughter. “I cannot even begin to describe how beautifully Josh and Noël contributed to the party,” Sahota said. “They’ve given us memories from my wedding which we will cherish forever.” Young and Pineda’s wedding gig is not the only tangible success for Creatio. William Sybertz, a senior at NU, recently received an internship to EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, one of the most famous recording studios in the United States. He credits his internship to Grammy award-winning Steve Smith, the creative director of Creatio. Working under an assistant at the studio, he will be learning how the recording studio works. He said that he hopes the internship will lead to a job. With a degree in contemporary music industry with a concentration in audio production, he said his dream is to own a studio that records orchestras for film scores. Lockhart’s vision for Creatio is to train the entrepreneur in the musician. He encourages his students, “Don’t think just because you don’t have a record label, or that you are 19 or 20, that you can’t do something significant.”

With preparations underway for a possible ballot measure for a Metropolitan Park District (MPD) to fund the Aquatic and Recreational Community (ARC) Center, the city of Kirkland is still on the hunt for an actual site. During its June 2 meeting, the City Council was presented with a draft ordinance for the ballot measure as well as the interlocal agreement allowing the council to act ex officio as the district board. They also discussed whether the ballot should include specific language about the taxing rate. If approved by the council and then voters in the Nov. 3 election, the MPD would act as a separate municipality, though under the current draft, the MPD would exist only within Kirkland’s city boundaries. According to Parks Director Jenny Schroeder, under the current draft of the interlocal agreement the city would own any land and facilities possessed by the MPD. During their April 21 meeting, the council approved a resolution directing staff to look into an MPD as a funding mechanism for the ARC. While Kirkland has looked into possibly partnering with other cities on the Eastside to share the costs for community facilities, differences in planning stages, site location preferences and facility amenities have made such a partnership on the ARC unlikely, albeit cities like Bellevue have expressed interest in a possible future partnership. The April 21 resolution also declared their preference for a privately-owned site located somewhere in the Totem Lake neighborhood, based on community feedback that opposed the use of city-owned property. Christ’s Church representatives, located at 11725 NE 118th St across from the Kirkland Justice Center, have expressed interest in possibly selling the property, though no formal offer has been made yet. Last year, the city looked into siting the ARC at Juanita Beach Park, but Juanita residents and the neighborhood association protested, and the council’s April 21 resolution dropped it from consideration as an ARC site. Councilmember Doreen Marchione emphasized the importance of finding strong candidates for the ARC’s site before the MPD is voted on due to these prior community concerns over its location. “I think we’re gonna have

agreement that the council would always go to the public before increasing it. “Essentially, when they take this vote they will be saying yes or no on the ARC,” he said. “But if something came up in the future that was aquatics park or recreation that we wanted to add on, what we’re committing to is we’re going to ask the public again, with an advisory vote, as to whether we should do that before we take the vote as the district board to increase the property tax rate. I think that’s a more effective way of addressing the ‘blank check’ concern.” The desire to make the MPD vote about the ARC was reflected in the name preferences councilmembers had for the district itself, though on the ballot it will specifically state its concerns forming an MPD. Some of the councilmembers said they wish to keep the name as simple as possible by either not including the word “metropolitan” or having it emphasize the ARC itself.

a difficult time if we try to go on the ballot without having a property identified,” she said. “I think it’s fine to say we want to do this and this is what we want to build, but I think we’re going too far when we say ‘trust us we know where it’s going to be,’ because it’s been controversial on the siting.” Mayor Amy Walen, however, expressed confidence later in the meeting that Kirkland voters would support the MPD even if a specific site isn’t located by November. “It would be preferable to have identified a list of potential sites, but I also think our voters are very educated,” she said. “I have faith that they will be supportive of this.” City Manager Kurt Triplett has previously said the lack of a site has put the city in an uncertain position in which the full cost of the project is not known. This would make it difficult to fund through a bond measure, as bonds raise a specific amount of money. An MPD, on the other hand, is a junior taxing district that, instead of a fixed amount raised, sets a fixed tax rate that all property owners pay per $1,000 in assessed valuation (AV), with a maximum rate of 75 cents per $1,000 AV. The council has stated, however, it does not intend to use the full taxing authority, though when they discussed whether to include a specific tax rate in the ballot measure language, Councilmember Toby Nixon said it would create unnecessary complexity and the MPD vote should be limited to whether or not to fund the ARC. To provide accountability for the tax rate, he suggested putting language into the interlocal

Ballot measure decisions loom on ARC

The council also discussed any possible impact on the 2012 Parks Levy, which raises $2.35 million annually for the maintenance of city-owned parks. They were opposed to revoking it and funding maintenance through the MPD. “We spent a lot of time working with the voters in 2012 for permanent protected funding to maintain our parks,” Councilmember Jay Arnold said. “And this would put that at risk… and I don’t think it’s appropriate.” Councilmember Shelly Kloba said “I feel like if we don’t roll them in, it really protects them a little bit better… They were very specific about maintenance opera-

Kirkland needs to rename streets My only complaint about Kirkland is the street names. Kirkland/Redmond/Bellevue have the worst street names in the world. Ever try giving directions? I don’t know how this area survived before GPS. I have lived here 10 years and don’t know the street names of streets just down the road from me. The reason: we have don’t have street names. We have Northeast 124th Street, 124 Street Northeast, etc. Why can’t we have street names like normal cities? Los Angeles is 20 times bigger than Kirkland, but they manage to name their streets, e.g. Sepulveda, Santa Monica Boulevard, Pico, etc. It is easier to remember names.

The rate of global warming has slowed since 1998 In rebuttal to Mark Vossler’s earnest letter, that admonishes us not to make fun of climate change, I would point out that the latest report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change acknowledges: “The rate of global warming has slowed since 1998, with the average global surface temperature staying steady in the first decade of the 21st century.” The fact that none of the much-vaunted climate models didn’t predict this is probably the same reason why weather forecasting is so difficult to get right. The ‘inconvenient truth’ of the flattening of temperature growth will of course be denied or explained away by those who believe - really believe - that the climate is rapidly changing, in cataclysmic ways, and that it’s all our fault.

Street names on Eastside are very convenient I think the street names on Bellevue/Kirkland/ Redmond are very convenient actually. After recently moving from a city that had “normal” street names, I have found it much easier to get around here. The beauty of our road naming system is its pattern. Cities with “normal” street names do not have an easy pattern, and require you to memorize where streets are located and in what order they lay. Cities have a lot of streets; I am happy I do not have to memorize all of them around here. Here are some general tips to make navigating

the Eastside roads a simple task: Roads named like Northeast [number] Street are east/west roads. The higher the number, the further north they are from Main Street. Roads named like [number] Avenue Northeast are north/south roads. The higher the number, the further east they are Seattle. Notice avenues always go perpendicular to streets. Even the street address of a building follow the pattern. If an address is 450 110th Ave NE, then it is on 110th Avenue Northeast (a north/south road) just north of Northeast 4th Street (450 is greater then 400, which corresponds to Northeast 4th Street).

be licensed, or carry insurance, they do not qualify as an uninsured motorist. If Speedo Bicycle hits you or your vehicle, you have to pay for the damages until such point as your limit has been hit on comprehension deductible. For many of us motorists that is either $500 or $1,000 deductible. The Washington State Legislature needs to pass bicycle legislation to require the licensing of bicycles and insurance for those bikes that operate with vehicles on shared roadways. There is a difference between bikes rode on bike trails and on shared highways. Once the bicycle enters the shared roadways they need to be treated as non-motored vehicles. For bicycle riders, that means bicycle insurance, bicycle operator’s license, bicycle front and rear lights, and visible clothing. That means bicycles need to obey the same traffic laws as motor vehicles and receive traffic citations if they don’t. To bring about these needed bicycle changes motorists must contact their state legislators asking for legislation to define bicycle requirements for those bikes on shared roadways. In the meantime, the Kirkland City Council should consider closing down the bicycle routes to motor vehicles in these 7 Hills [rides] where bicycles operate. As the law now stands, bicycles can run red lights, they have no required insurance and the pedestrian or motorist is stuck for the medical costs or repair tab if they hit you or your vehicle.

Thank you Design Review Board (DRB) for your increasing attention to whether projects designated for the greater scrutiny of DRB approval are actually being built as conditioned into building permits.

Kingsgate Library design team puts families first in renovation

he Kingsgate Library has been a staple to Kirkland neighborhoods since 1973, and with the library’s current massive renovation, design teams looked to families in the community for their unique and personal perspective. After more than 10 years of planning and waiting, the staff and patrons are very enthusiastic for the remodel, which should be finished by March 2016. The process towards renovation began back in 2004 when King County voters passed a capitol bond of $172 million, with Kingsgate Library being one of the projects, according to Adrianne Ralph, the Public Services Facilities Design coordinator in the King County

The original PAR submitted in 2011 would have allowed the company to build more residential space and up to eight stories or 100 feet, whereas current zoning allows for a height of 67 feet or five stories, with the intention of having retail on the ground floor if they were able to build residential above. Discussion on the PAR in 2012 were ultimately tabled, then eventually postponed so it could be included as part of the city’s update to the Comprehensive Plan. Last year, city staff examined the PAR as part of potential updates to the Central Business District (CBD) encompassing the property. There was another delay, however, after Touchstone, the original owner of Parkplace located north of 434 Kirkland Way, decided to sell the property. In response, MRM requested they put the PAR on hold until the fate of Parkplace became clearer. Talon Capital, the new owner of Parkplace, began the process to reboot the redevelopment plan in November. In February, the council approved several changes to zoning at Parkplace and amended the Kirkland Parkplace Master

Library System. The renovation includes additional study rooms, as well as an operable glass meeting room, which provides more square footage when no meetings are scheduled. More windows will be added, along with a more spacious computer set up. An all new HVAC, electrical and fire systems, will be installed as well. More interior updates can be found in the design plans on the KCLS website. The goal is to create a library that will stand in the community for another 40 years, Ralph said. In addition to these updates, the design team looked to the public for significant input. They held two large meetings in February and June of last year, where the public expressed its big-

The project’s first conceptional design conference was held on May 18. “Now that there is a plan in place for Parkplace, they understand the context of development in the area and can make an educated decision on what should be allowed on our site,” Razore said. “As Parkplace grows up we think we should grow up with it.” During a Planning Commission study session on March 12, MRM withdrew its request for an eight story height limit based on feedback from the community, according to Razore. “We listened and revised our plan accordingly,” he said. “We want everybody to enjoy this.” Instead, they requested that the code be changed to allow six stories instead of the current five, but still maintain the 67-foot height limit, as office floors are taller than residential floors. Although Razore said redevelopment plans are very preliminary at this point, he said MRM’s

new plan is to have five who have to share the narrow stories of residential on top of easement with vehicles. the retail ground floor. “It won’t feel like Kirkland “By providing a strong Parkplace stops at the northanchor that will kind of help ern boundary line of our activate that part of what property,” he said. “It should I call the local entrance to just flow all the way through Parkplace,” he said. to Kirkland Way.” If the PAR were Although members of approved, MRM the Planning CommisOFFICE would provide sion have expressed numerous public interest in maintaining amenities as part of some office space on the project, includthe property by possibly ing 10 percent of resirecommending the height dential dedicated to affordlimit be raised to 80 feet if able housing, a minimum of office space is included in $10,000 worth of public art, the redevelopment, Razore and convert a current 20 feet said office space would not access easement that serves be compatible within their as an entrance to Parkplace project vision for various into a promenade that would reasons. allow better pedestrian access “That kind of goes back to Peter Kirk Park and the to the overall size of the site,” Kirkland Performing Arts he said. “We haven’t found a Center.

They will add an additional window to better connect children to the outside, a shelving design with a face-out display, so the library’s littlest patrons can view books clearly, and a new categorizing of books by topic instead of by author’s last name. Jennifer Duffy, Kingsgate’s children’s librarian for nearly 15 years, explained that the project has been a long time coming for the community. Duffy hosts a number of programs throughout the year for kids ages one to 12. About 500 to 600 kids participate in her annual summer reading program. “Plenty of people meet up

here,” Duffy said. “We actually have people who walk to the library with their little red wagons, so it’s like Norman Rockwell.” More than any other branch nearby, Kingsgate has a popular homework study program for kids, according to Duffy. Up to six students can meet in a four-hour session five days a week. Library Cluster Manager Karen Hardiman said in all of the KCLS renovation projects, the goal is to create user-friendly libraries that benefit the community. She is pleasantly surprised that the small, temporary library continues to be busy, confirming that the Kirkland community values and relies on its library. As Hardiman said, when it comes to Kingsgate Library, “The public is the key.”

residential instead of office has met with opposition from some in the community, including Ken Davidson of Davidson Serles & Associates, which owns the Emerald Office Building on 520 Kirkland Way. A woman representing the firm who spoke at the City Council’s June 2 meeting stated that the CBD5 was intended for office space and to rezone it into residential would create a shortage for employers. “Downtown Kirkland does not need another apartment project,” she said. Brent Carson, a partner at Seattle-based law firm Van Ness Feldman representing Davidson, told the council at the June 2 meeting that for them to change the Comprehensive Plan there would need to be a compelling reason and the existing residential developments in downtown, as well as the ones currently being built, demonstrate that it is not needed. “This is not about MRM’s vision,” he said. “This is about the city’s vision.” Carson told the Reporter that rezoning the CBD5 to allow another residential development downtown would deprive the city of office space

it needs to support a daytime employment population, as CBD5 is one of the few remaining properties that is specifically zoned for office space with restrictions on the residential space. While downtown was intended to have a mix of both office and residential, properties that had the option of building either, he said, chose to build residential, which has left a shortage of office space. “Many of the businesses, restaurants and so forth - the residential population can support them during the evening hours, but many of those business can thrive having a daytime population as well. Again, offices provide that, and that’s been a strong point of the city’s economic policies.” In a report for Davidson, Seattle-based consultant Gardner Economics stated that a very low vacancy rate for office space in Kirkland indicated a “healthy demand for commercial space.” The report concluded that the amendment request was “inappropriate from a market demand standpoint” and converting it into office space would undermine the city’s ability to meet obligations for employment under the GMA.

For the second consecutive year, the Lake Washington Schools Foundation (LWSF) and Waste Management turned waste into a resource for a brighter, more sustainable future for the Kirkland community. Waste Management, a foundation supporter and strategic partner collaborated with the LWSF board, students and volunteers to transform the annual

fundraising event into a zero waste event. The luncheon was held April 29, at Juanita High School and this year, similar to last year, there were 239 pounds of materials and food waste from the luncheon diverted from the landfill. With more than 600 supporters in attendance, Waste Management composted and recycled 94 percent of the waste from the event, creating only 59 pounds of garbage, which was mostly tape that secured the carpet. Organizers and volunteers plan for months about innovative ways to create recyclable centerpieces, order appropriate recyclable and compostable dishes and silverware and set up good

processes for sorting recyclables and food waste after the event. With Waste Management public education and outreach staff on hand, they worked with LWSF staff and volunteers to build a list of every item that would be used during the event - from the invitations, registration, food preparation and presentation, table décor and the event program booklet. Moreover, they thought of ways to swap single-use items with reusable, recyclable or compostable alternatives and only use décor that could be reused or donated. Last year, they used lab beakers to hold salad dressing and then donated the beakers to the science lab.

sirens from the emergency response. In all, five engines and two ladders responded to the blaze. “Yes, they had a dog named Bruce and I heard he passed away,” Gonzales said. According to Jeffery, the only casualty in the fire was the family dog and no firefighters were injured in the response. The cause of the fire and extent of the damage to the

home is still under investigation. The incident comes just two days after a woman died in a house fire in a home on the Kirkland and Bothell boundary on June 3. The Bothell Police Department is investigating the cause along with the Bothell Fire Department arson investigators. “Anytime you have two fires in close proximity you look for any similarities,” Jeffrey said. “Luckily, stuff is still wet so it doesn’t spread through the trees. But that will change in the next few weeks.”

Youth, will provide interim leadership for the organization while it seeks a new Executive. Pottmeyer brings a strong background in organizational leadership and experience in homelessness and housing on the Eastside of King County. “I look forward to working with the Attain Housing Board of Directors and staff to seek out and hire the next leader. Ensuring that every family has a place to call home is urgent and important work. I am pleased to be a part of the Attain Housing team, an organization that has played such an important role in providing housing and support to homeless families and individuals on the Eastside,” Pottmeyer said.

The Board of Directors will launch a search for its new executive director in the coming weeks.

reside at this residence…the homeowner came home to find the house fully involved,” Seuberlich said. Bothell police have taken a statement from the home owner and released him. “At this time, I’m not able to disclose [the deceased person’s name].” First responders from Kirkland, Bellevue and Bothell all showed up to the fire and quickly extinguished the blaze, but not before neighbors attempted to do their part with garden hoses. “I heard some crackling and popping, and I was on my computer and looked out the back - it was all hazy in my back yard - and then I looked to the left and there was full flames shooting out the back of their windows,” said Casey Stewart, a next door neighbor to the residence on fire. “As soon as I opened my door, he - the next door neighbor [and home owner] - was running around to my front door and said ‘Call 911, I don’t have a cell phone,’ so I was like ‘I’m on it.’” After the call to 911, Stewart grabbed his garden hose

and tried to do what he could to help keep the flames from spreading to his own house, where his newborn baby was sleeping inside. “I started leaning over my fence, and my neighbors they had two hoses going at the same time, and we’re just trying to knock it down, but there’s nothing you can do with a garden hose,” Stewart said. “[The owner] was there running back and forth, I asked him if there was anyone still in there and he said ‘She’s still in there, it’s too hot.’” Seuberlich confirmed that the owner arrived after the fire had already started and had, according to the owner’s statement, tried to enter the house, but was not able to do so due to the intensity of the fire. After the entry attempt, neighbors aimed their hoses at the same spot, the back bedroom, but the flames were already 20-feet high, according to witnesses. “When you’re that close, [the fire spreading is] all you’re thinking about.

thing, we still had our garden hoses on it,” Stewart said. “At that point the windows were starting to melt and it was spreading to the garage… we were just spraying everything down we could.” While Stewart had only met the victim a handful of times, it still impacts him to know that something like this has happened in the neighborhood. “It was quite the night. It’s still just kind of, wow, kind of crazy,” Stewart said. “To have that happen, you’d never expect that kind of thing. We don’t know what to think right now.” The cause of the fire is still unknown but arson investigators have been on scene. Those in the neighborhood, though, were happy to have such prompt response from authorities. “They seriously kicked [butt]. They were here fast, had it under control fast. The whole situation for that was great,” Stewart said. “If anything is good about it, we know they get here quick and there’s full pressure on the hose. All the neighbors were in and helping, everyone was trying to do what they could.” The area of Northeast 145th Street where the incident happened is in or near three jurisdictions: the house is located in Bothell, just across Northeast 145th is Kirkland and two blocks east is the border with Woodinville. “It was about 10 o’clock last night, I heard the sirens and smelled the smoke,” said Kirkland resident Richard Villines. “It looked like organized chaos…There was firetrucks from Bothell, Bellevue, Woodinville, Kirkland…” According to Villines, the female resident had been taken to and from the hospital via an ambulance recently, so he thought it was something to do with that until he saw the fire trucks and smoke. “I didn’t know her on any intimate level at all, except for seeing her around,” Villines said. “We’d just assumed… it was pretty obvious, I knew the woman was always home. It’s pretty sad, even though you didn’t know somebody.” According to Seuberlich, all deaths are considered crime scenes until the means of death is found. “With death investigations, we cover all the angles. we look at every avenue. We aren’t going to jump to any conclusions on this,” Seuberlich said. “We’re going to work with fire to find the cause of the fire and the medical examiner to find the cause of death.”

feet. The fire that destroyed the Taylors’ condo occurred at about 7:30 p.m. on March 14 and the cause is still under investigation. The couple had been living there for 22 years. “It’s sad,” Taylor said, adding that they are currently in temporary housing in another apartment complex in Kirkland. The fire destroyed everything, she said, including a couple of sewing machines she had used to create costumes for years. “That wasn’t fun,” Sherrill admitted. When asked why the RHS drama department wanted to support Taylor, Johnston said, “She’s been a huge supporter of theater and the arts…She’s been very involved in the theater community, especially the youth theater community…We want to raise as much (money) as we can.” When Taylor learned about what the students were planning, she was touched. “It’s just really sweet,” she said about the gesture, adding that she will be in attendance. “I cried. It choked me up big time.” Taylor added that too many young people nowadays tend to be a bit self

or about three decades, Sherrill Taylor has been helping people with their costuming needs. From community theater groups to local high school productions, she and her Redmond store Pacific Northwest Costume — which closed in fall 2014 — have been giving people the opportunity to dress up to their hearts’ content. The Kirkland resident’s contributions have become so well known locally that when news spread that she and her husband had fallen on hard times — losing everything they had in a fire that burned down their condo as well as some of their neighbors’ condos — student members of the Redmond High School (RHS) drama department did not hesitate to figure out how they could help. Sophomore Ember Johnston and junior Erich Schleck held a benefit concert featuring RHS students of all grades. The concert took place May 30 at the Old Fire House Teen Center in Redmond. The proceeds, $1,400, went toward helping Taylor and her husband get back on their

Erich Schleck (left) and sophomore Ember Johnston organized a benefit concert to help Kirkland resident Sherrill Taylor (center). SAM PAK, Reporter Newspapers absorbed. So to see these students going out of their way to help someone they don’t personally know that well is extraordinary. Taylor’s husband Glenn Taylor agreed. He said it is extremely nice of the students to be doing this for them, but he admits to not being too surprised as Sherrill has always done so much for so many people. And while they have not worked as closely with Sherrill as previous RHS drama students, Schleck is aware of the role she has played in helping build the department. He said the contributions she has made have been invaluable — and he is not the only one who recognizes this. He and Johnston added that while they organized — and hosted — the show, many students got involved. In addition to the 12 acts — who performed songs from various genres of music to go with the show’s “New Beginnings” theme — many students have volunteered

Winning name for KPD UTVs announced and it’s “epic” Kirkland Police Chief Eric Olsen had the honor of announcing the winning name for the Department’s two Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs) at the June 2, City Council meeting. Students from Henry David Thoreau Elementary School submitted the name “E.P.I.C” (Environmental Police Investigation Car), which received the highest number of online votes from the community. Chief Olsen was joined by Mayor Amy Walen and Councilmember Shelley Kloba to present a certificate of recognition to the representatives from the winning school: student Mason Clemons, teacher Casey Conroy and Principal

Mylinda Mallon. In an effort to engage local youth in a unique way, the City, with support from the Lake Washington School District, launched a UTV naming contest. Elementary students in fifth and fourthand-fifth combination grade classes were encouraged to submit names. Seven school participated: A.G. Bell, Discovery Community, Ben Franklin, Juanita, Peter Kirk, Carl Sandburg and Henry David Thoreau. A community-wide online vote was held during mid-May resulting in over 200 votes. In January, 2015, the Kirkland Police Department added the two UTVs to its fleet. They will be primarily used to patrol the Cross Kirkland Corridor and will be operational later this month. The vehicles are 100% electric, four-wheel drive, legal for street driving, can reach up to 35 miles per hour and are equipped with lights and sirens.

Raising funds for Green Kirkland Day Kirkland Parks Foundation announces a collaborative project with the City’s Green Kirkland Partnership to fund native plants for Green Kirkland Day. The Green Kirkland Partnership will be hosting its first ever Green Kirkland Day on Nov. 14. Green Kirkland Day is a day to celebrate the Partnership’s accomplishments, volunteers’ hard work throughout the year, and to plant hundreds of native plants in several of Kirkland’s natural area parks. The main site for Green Kirkland Day will be at Crestwoods Park forest. The Green Kirkland Partnership seeks donations to help cover the cost of native trees, shrubs and groundcover, such as Woods’ rose, salmon-

berry, and sword fern. The estimated total cost of all the plants is $4,000. Green Kirkland Partnership will provide $1,500 and needs to raise another $2,500. This will enable it to purchase enough plants to fill areas recently cleared of invasive ivy and blackberry. Over time, the new plants will grow and mature into a healthy forest, cared for by ongoing volunteer efforts. The plants will supply wildlife with food and habitat and local residents with

clean air and natural areas to enjoy. The Kirkland Parks Foundation has committed to working with the community to raise the $2,500 needed for plants by Aug. 31. The Kirkland Parks Foundation invites the entire community of Kirkland to make tax-deductible contributions of any dollar amount to this project. Visit the Foundation’s website at www.kirklandparksfoundation.org to learn how to donate.

ORDER AND DETERMINATION BY THE DIRECTOR Washington State is experiencing a drought emergency. We have record-low snowpack in the mountains, and snowmelt through the spring and summer is what traditionally keeps rivers flowing, crops watered, and fish alive. We are starting to feel the pain from this snowpack drought. Impacts are already severe in several areas of the state. More than 70 percent of the state's snow monitoring stations have record-low snowpack. As a result, many of our major rivers are forecasted to have record-low flows - the lowest in the past 64 years - between April and September. This shortfall is a serious threat to municipal and domestic water supplies, irrigated agriculture, and fisheries throughout Washington. With the concurrence of Governor Inslee and following consultation with affected Indian Tribes, I hereby expand the drought emergency to include all of Washington State. Snowpack conditions across the state have continued to decline since the initial regional drought declaration on March 13, 2015. Dozens of major rivers are at record-low flows for this date. The longer-term weather forecast is for warmer and drier-than-normal conditions for this spring and summer. Conditions are likely to get worse. Reduced snowpack creates risks to municipal and domestic water supplies. The Department of Health has identified numerous water systems throughout the state that draw water from shallow alluvial aquifers, which are dependent on groundwater recharge from snowmelt. Agriculture faces a risk of crop loss throughout the state. Farmers in the Yakima and the Walla Walla basins are being curtailed, which could have devastating impacts on orchards and vineyards. Curtailment is likely to occur in the Little Spokane, Nooksack, and Chehalis basins, and could occur for the first time ever in the Colville Basin. Loss to perennial crops in these regions would be a significant hardship to individual farmers and agricultural communities. Throughout the state, there is a high risk that fish populations will experience hardship from extremely low flowing rivers this year. Hatcheries will face warmer water, increased risk of disease, and potential loss of water supply. Tributaries and smaller streams may drop to levels where stream channels become impassible to fish. Pools of water will become disconnected from other pools, isolating fish and increasing the risks of predation and harassment. Therefore, in accordance with the provisions of RCW 43.838.405, IT IS ORDERED that all of Washington state is hereby under a drought emergency. This order is effective immediately and shall remain in effect through December 31, 2015, unless terminated prior to that date. In accordance with the provisions of WAC 173-166-060, the Department of Ecology may, under the terms of this order, take the following emergency actions: (1) Issue emergency permits for water. (2) Approve temporary transfers of water rights. (3) Provide funding assistance to public agencies to alleviate drought conditions. (4) Take other actions depending on future developments. Other state and local agencies with authority to issue permits or authorizations related to the drought emergency actions must provide a decision to an applicant within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date of application. In accordance with the proclamation of the Washington Governor, dated January 3, 1989, (Centennial Accord), nothing herein shall impair or infringe upon the treaty reserved rights or governmental authority of any federally recognized Indian tribe nor shall this order be deemed an assertion of state authority over Indian reservation lands. The Department of Ecology intends to work cooperatively, on a government-to-government basis, with all affected tribes. Further details about this order or the actions available under it, may be obtained by contacting: Jeff Marti, Department of Ecology, PO Box 47600, Olympia, WA 98504-7600; 360-407-6627; Email: jeff.marti@ecy.wa.gov Applications for emergency water permits or temporary transfers of water rights are available by contacting one of the Department of Ecology's regional offices: • Northwest Regional Office; Bellevue, WA; 425-649-7020; Email: arha461@ecy.wa.gov • Central Region Office; Yakima, WA; 509-575-2597; Email: sueb461@ecy.wa.gov • Southwest Regional Office; Lacey, WA; 360-407-6859; Email: oday461@ecy.wa.gov • Eastern Regional Office; Spokane, WA; 509-329-3541; Email: awat461@ecy.wa.gov DATED this 21st day of May, 2015 Maia D.
