hole Foods Market has announced it will open its first store in Kirkland, which will act as a retail anchor for the redeveloped Village of Totem Lake - the land that currently houses

Totem Lake Malls.

The 40,000 square foot store will be located in the mixed-use development at I-405 and Northeast 124th Street and is anticipated to open during summer 2017 when the redevelopment is finished.

According to Whole Foods, the store will fea-

Sounders FC fans and runners will be participating in the inaugural Rave Green Run in Kirkland on Sunday, which will include sections of the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC).

The event, sponsored

by EvergreenHealth, will include a kid’s 1k, a 5k and 9k course. Jeff Orswell, president of Orswell Events, said they hope for the event to become an annual tradition.

They were inspired to create the event after the Seahawks 12k Run at The Landing in Renton. The popularity of the race made them look at doing the same thing for the Sounders FC. Looking for a place to hold the event, they went with Kirkland due to the strong fanbase and popularity of running on the Eastside.

“The Sounders thought it would be fun to have an Eastside event close to home for the Eastside fans,” Orswell said. “We [ more GREEN page 6 ]

In 2013, when Amy Goings accepted the position of president of Lake Washington Institute of Technology (LWTech), she said the biggest challenge for the institution was funding.

Now, as the Board of Trustees has renewed her contract for another five

years, she said the funding challenge remains.

She was unanimously chosen as school’s ninth president in 2013 after a seven-month public process to replace the college’s late president, David Woodall, 67, who died in September 2012 from a heart attack.

“We have a board of trustees who take their role very seriously and

they are great partners with me leading the college forward,” she said. “I see that (contract renewal) really, it was intended as an affirmation of the work the college has engaged in during the last several years.”

Goings cited her two visits to the White House and increased local recognition for both student and teacher ac-

complishments.

“We have great faculty and inspirational students who have been recognized,” Goings said.

“The community has just been so supportive of the college. I hope to continue that for a number of years to come.”

The Junior Softball World Series is being played in Kirkland this week at Everest Park with 10 teams from around the United States, Canada, Europe, Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific region.

The tournament began on Aug. 2 and the finals, played tomorrow at 2 p.m., will be broadcast on ESPN. In all, the teams will play a combined 34 games during the six day pool play round and championship tournament.

Latin America and Canada were the first two teams to win games on the first day of the 2015 Junior Softball World Series.

Latin America overpowered Europe-Africa, 20-3, while Canada edged the U.S. Central team, 11-10.

The event will also host a skills competition, sponsored

by Les Schwab.

For the first time in three years, the host team is from

Bellevue. The team has struggled during its first two games as of Tuesday, losing to Central, 3-0, and Southeast, 13-0, both teams from the United States.

Last year the host team from Kirkland nearly won the championship.

New this year are the Challenger Division games.

In 1989, the Little League Challenger Division was established to provide a Little League experience to children with physical and intellectual challenges. In 2001, Little League gave two Challenger Division teams the opportunity to play a game at the Little League Baseball World Series.

This year, for the first time, Challenger Division teams participated in a game at the

Junior Softball World Series.

“The Little League Softball World Series Tournaments are some of the most exciting, competitive events in youth softball,” said Sara Thompson, Little League Director of Softball Development. “The Little League Softball World Series Challenger Exhibition Game is one of the favorite things on the schedule in Portland, not only for the fans, but for the teams and players, as well. We are looking forward to bringing these fun, inspirational games to all of the softball tournaments this August.”

More than 30,000 athletes participate in more than 900 Challenger programs in 10 countries around the world.

The city of Kirkland’s Economic Development Director Ellen Miller Wolfe said the store will be a welcome addition to the city’s existing grocery stores.

“There have been a number of groceries that have gone out over the years, so this fills a gap as far as that goes, for people who are currently living here,” she said.

Wolfe added that it represents forward thinking on the part of Centercal, which owns the property.

“It’s a great anchor for this shopping center, for a retail center,” she said. “They’re thinking not just about the retail anchor. They’re thinking this is a new neighborhood…it’s not just fulfilling the needs of this mall, it’s going to help this have a sense of place.”

The announcement has also received unanimous support from the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce, according to Director Bruce Wynn.

“Everybody thinks it’s a positive thing,” he said.

“Whole Foods Market will be a tremendous addition. The quality offering of Whole Foods Market will complement the redeveloped 800,000-square-foot project. The Village at Totem Lake, a walkable, mixed-use community will also include a theatre, residential, office and retail to serve the needs of this wonderful trade area,” CenterCal Properties President Jean Paul Wardy said in a press release statement.

There is currently a Trader Joe’s at Totem Lake Malls.

According to their corporate office, they have no plans to relocate at this time.

CenterCal purchased the Totem Lake Malls property earlier this year and expects construction to begin in about a year. In addition to a proposed 400 residential units, the redevelopment will have a village commons, park and high-end restaurants.

The master plan anticipates Metro Transit will add a bus stop along 120th Avenue Northeast, the location of a joint effort between the city and CenterCal as part of a redesign in order to make it more friendly to pedestrians

that could include more sidewalks and walkways.

The first conceptual design conference with the city’s design review board was held July 6.

John Muir Elementary summer school students received a special visit from nationally known poet Janet Wong on July 22. Wong shared her childrens poems, stories about poSUMMER etry and how to be a poet.

Wong brought a large brown alligator suitcase with special props inside. She had student helpers choose something from the case and she told a story or poem about the item. Students engaged as Wong read stories about food, family, and immigration. She read a story in Spanish, and stories about her own father. She also taught the teachers a special noodle dance. The students learned to speak Wookie.

Wong’s message to the children was clear. “Do you have an idea?” she asked. “Write it down.

Don’t worry about making it ‘good’ - just try. The key is getting started. Getting those big wheels in your brain to move. If you sputter, if you stall, no problem. Wait a little while and start it up again.”

King County Library System librarian Jennifer Duffy arranged for Wong’s visit.

Sound Transit got all it asked for and more

S

ound Transit got all it asked for and more than it wanted from state lawmakers this year.

Its leaders sought and obtained permission to put their next phase of expansion known as ST3 and the buffet of taxes to pay for it in front of voters.

This is the $15 billion undertaking Sound Transit says will enable it to make good on its promise to provide light-rail service to Everett and Tacoma.

Voters in Snohomish, King and Pierce counties could decide as early as November 2016 whether to fund this added service through a combination of higher taxes on property, retail sales and motor vehicles.

But if it’s approved, Sound Transit will be putting millions of those new tax dollars into building affordable housing and funding schools in those counties before any light rail trains reach Lynnwood let alone Everett.

That’s what state lawmakers demanded of Sound Transit in exchange for fulfilling the regional transit authority’s request.

If that sounds like a negotiation, it really wasn’t. Lawmakers didn’t consider any counter-offers. It was take-it-or-leave-it so Sound Transit took it.

Now, here’s what must happen if voters approve the ST3 plan and taxing authority: • Sound Transit must put $20 million into a revolving loan fund to finance affordable

housing projects. Sound Transit, which will administer the fund and cut the loan checks, must ante up $4 million a year for five consecutive years. It must start depositing that money within three years of voter approval.

• Sound Transit must plug a $518 million hole in the state’s general fund with payments starting in 2017 and lasting through at least 2031.

Those dollars will go into a new Puget Sound taxpayer accountability account. They will be doled out to Snohomish, King and Pierce counties to distribute “for educational services to improve educational outcomes” in early learning, elementary and secondary

schools, and colleges.

Counties, which aren’t in the education business, must figure out where to send the money. Right now there are no rules on where the money will go so it could go to public, private or parochial schools or colleges. The only condition is the “educational services” occur within the Sound Transit boundaries.

The two directives emerged in the heat of negotiations among lawmakers on a statewide transportation package and resolved a seemingly irreclaimable dispute on what to do with sales tax the state pays on road [ more OPINION page 5 ]

The man admitted he had a run in with the Ellensburg Police but was paying off his fines in installments. However, extradition was confirmed and he was arrested on the warrant.

Kirkland police don’t believe foul play was involved in the death of a local man whose body was found last week near Edith Moulton Park in Kirkland’s Juanita neighborhood. The body was found in a wooded area and it was there for about two weeks, accord-

ing to the King County Medical Examiner’s office.

“There were no immediate signs of foul play,” said Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray.

The heat, along with the duration between the death and when the body was found, has contributed to decomposition, making it difficult for authorities to identify the deceased male, approximately between the ages of 25-35.

Kirkland police visited the home listed on the man’s identification and

projects.

That money now goes into the general fund to pay for schools, among other things. The House Democrats wanted to keep it going there but Senate Republicans sought to divert it to transportation projects.

The majority parties in the two chambers found a compromise — Sound Transit.

As part of the transportation package Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law earlier this month, the state will begin

on new road projects in 2019. This will siphon an estimated $518 million from the general fund through 2013.

Sound Transit must backfill those dollars. To do that, Sound Transit will now start paying sales tax on labor costs associated with its expansion projects. That will make those projects a little more expensive, but it’s the political price the agency leaders felt they had to pay.

“We located the family and we are 99 percent sure we have the right person,” Murray said.

“But we are waiting for dental records to come back to get a positive ID.” The report is due back at the end of the week or beginning of next week.

Murray said that the man once lived in Kirkland but had recently moved just outside of the city.

Police are also waiting on a toxicology report to determine what was in the man’s system at the time of his death.

City Councilman Paul Roberts who is the vice chairman of the Sound Transit board of directors. “It was the cost of doing business. This gives us the chance to build the system voters approved and expect.”

Endless Summer Days When we were little Mom would boot us out of the house and tell us to go play with our toys in the backyard. She had too many chores to do to hang out and “entertain” us all summer. She would cook, clean, do yard work – all the adult stuff that seemed so boring.

Once in awhile, when the sun was so hot and the days were so long, even Mom couldn’t resist the allure of the “swimming pool”! She would try to cool off alone and my brother and I would have nothing of that, in we’d go and spoil her moment to chill and relax.

included tuition cuts for students and cost of living adjustment for employees, Goings said they still have a ways to go.

“We’re still not funded to the levels where we can be growing programs without support,” she said. “The state funding continues to be a challenge, which is where our innovation comes in.”

To remedy this, the institute has been turning to organizations to help grow and expand those programs. Recently, LWTech received their first ever grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). The two grants provide a total of $800,000 in funding. The NSF awarded a $199,380 grant for the development of the Pacific Northwest Photonics Technology Project (PNW Photonics).

LWTech plans to offer a 70-credit photonics technology certificate within

Mariah Stacona of Madras, Ore.; Jessalyn Henry of Seattle, Wash.; Emily Fiso of Seattle, Wash.; and Miranda Langenhorst of Susanville, Calif.

Stacona graduated from Madras High School in Oregon and the 5-foot-5 guard was named to the Oregonian’s first team, all-state squad after the 2014-15 season. She was also named the MVP of the Tri Valley League in the same year. Stacona scored 1,604 career averaging 15.7 points and 3.5 assists per game for her career at MHS while shooting 45 percent.

Fiso played her prep bas-

ketball at West Seattle High School in Seattle’s Metro League where the 6-foot tall wing was named to the Seattle Times All-Metro League team in 2014-15.

Fiso also helped lead her Wildcat team to a Metro League championship and the WIAA State Tournament and was named to the Olympic All-Metro League Team by the Kitsap Sun. Langenhorst, a 6-foot-2 post, played for Lassen Union High School in Northern California earning varsity letters in both volleyball and basketball.

She was two-time allleague team member in

both sports as well and earned Northern League CIF first team honors.

Langenhorst was also a member of the Northern Section All-Star team.

Henry comes to Northwest University from Seattle Christian High School where the 5-foot-10 post was a team captain and earned varsity letters in basketball, volleyball, cross country and track. An outstanding student, Henry was also a member of the National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society.

“We are very excited about this recruiting class as there is the blend of tal-

the advanced manufacturing AAS degree programs, making it the only employer-validated, NSF-affiliated photonics program in Washington.

“That really speaks to the innovation,” Goings said. “We’re one of the few colleges in the country involved in that. That will be a great addition to our electronics technology program, which is innovative in itself already.”

The other NSF grant will provide $580,000 grant for the Future Tech Stars NSF S-STEM Scholarship Program (Future Tech Stars) to develop a scholarship program for low-income students studying Science, Technology, Engineering or Math (STEM).

Through it, LWTech will award $500,000 in student scholarships, $125,000 a year in scholarships to around 25 full-time students, with each scholarship approximately

$5,000.

Goings said the scholarship program will ideally help student completion rates and prevent students from ending their academic studies prematurely due to financial constraints, as well as help their plans for more diversity on the campus.

“Certainly, funding full scholarships will help with that,” she said. “One way the STEM grant supports that (diversity plan) is by the fact that it’s focused on low income first generation students. It’s very much in alignment with where we’re going as an institution.”

Overall, the two grants, Goings said, fit with the institute’s mission of preparing students for

tomorrows opportunities.

“That fundamental work mission, whether at the technical high school level, is very much still front and center,” she said. “It’s an integral part of our mission as a work college that we’re keeping pace with the industry.”

Another thing they have focused on, she said, is making the institute attractive, not just for students, but to educators as well.

One thing that has changed, Goings said, since she first stepped in as president, is the level of awareness about LWIT in the greater community.

“When I first came to the college two years ago I heard a lot of feedback from the internal commu-

The community knows…

We’re doing great work and being as responsive as we can be to meet the needs of the community.”

The PNW Photonics program will begin during the 2015-2016 academic year. Students who are interested in applying for the Future Tech Stars scholarships will be able to do so in the 2015-2016 academic year.

incubator

This fall Northwest University will be launching a business incubator and co-working space. The space, called the 425 Collective, will be an environment for innovative people to create, connect and cultivate. The objective is to foster a diverse culture that produces pre-

mier leaders and companies that influence our community and world.

There will be three types of businesses in the space: already existing businesses, new start-up, and experts, coaches and consultants.

Because of our values of community, creativity and cultivation, we will serve as an incubator, but the end result won’t just be the creation and cultivation of new businesses. The end result will also be to create community among a group of people, from start-ups to already existing businesses to

experts and consultants.

Organizers will be formatting some intentional and organic communal and educational events, workshops and rhythms so that there will be both growth and connection happening in our space.

The 425 Collective will also have a few select Northwest business students in the space to help them grow, learn and to connect them to people well ahead of them.

BRIEFS

Kirkland hospital named among 2015 Most Wired Hospitals and Health Systems EvergreenHealth has been recognized as “Most Improved” in the 2015 Health Care’s Most Wired survey from the American Hospital Association’s Health Forum and the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME).

This marks the first time EvergreenHealth has appeared in the prestigious annual survey published by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.

For 17 years, the Most Wired survey has benchmarked the information technology (IT) use and adoption among hospitals and health systems nationwide. The survey of more than 741 participants, representing more than 2,213 organizations, measured IT excellence across four focus areas including infrastructure, business and adminis-

trative management, clinical quality and safety and clinical integration. Organizations designated as “Most Improved” are those that have demonstrated significant improvement in IT practices from the previous to current survey period.

“Technology is rapidly evolving the way we care for, interact with and provide the best experience and outcomes possible for our patients,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “We are constantly looking to identify opportunities where we can apply technology to help us improve. Streamlining our patient portal to make it easier for patients to enroll and developing a process for gathering quality data from a large network of providers and reporting that back in a shared electronic quality dashboard are a few of the many technologies implemented at EvergreenHealth in the past year to benefit patients.”

EvergreenHealth joins 17 other Washington State organizations recognized by the survey, six of which are located in the SeattleTacoma metropolitan area.

Most recently, the integrated two-hospital health system serving northern King and southern Snohomish counties, achieved Stage 6 of the HIMSS Analytics Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model.

A full copy of the 2015 Most Wired survey is available in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks or online at www.hhnmag. com.

LWSD receives clean audit The Washington State Auditor’s Office issued two reports in late May concerning Lake Washington School District. The district had no findings of noncompliance on either the accountability audit report or the financial and federal audit report. This is the sixth consecutive year the district has earned both accountability and financial audits free of findings. Both reports covered the district’s last fiscal year, September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014.

The highlights in the financial section noted that general fund reported an increase in revenues of close to 8 percent to $251.6 million. Expenses rose by about 6% over the previous

website. All district audits from 2005 through 2014 are available. year, to $247.7 million. Both increases were influenced by continuing growth in student enrollment. There were over 800 more students in the district in 2013-14 than the year before.

The financial audit assesses the District’s financial statements and processes, using governmental auditing standards. The accountability audit examines how well the District complies with its own policies, as well as state and federal laws. The accountability report examines areas representing the highest risk of noncompliance, misappropriation or misuse.

“Our business services office is committed to the efficient management and use of taxpayer funds,” noted Janene Fogard, Deputy Superintendent for Operations.

“The financial oversight required of a $250 million operation with multiple sites is complex. These audit results reflect the integrity of our district and accountability to the community.”

The full reports are posted on the Washington State Auditor’s website and the Lake Washington School District

PSE customers with solar arrays reaches 3,000 Even with a reputation of gray skies in western Washington, solar energy works.

More and more Puget Sound Energy electric customers are turning to solar arrays to help generate clean, renewable energy at their homes, businesses and public buildings. As of this week, that number hit 3,000.

“Solar equipment has become increasingly affordable, and that’s a main reason we’re seeing a greater number of customers determining now’s a good time to make the investment,” said Jake Wade, manager of PSE’s solar program. “And the benefits can be seen immediately.”

In PSE’s service area, residential customers make up roughly 90 percent of those with solar arrays; the remaining 10 percent are commercial properties and municipal locations, such as a library or a city building.

• Solar arrays have been producing power daily in the PSE service area since 2000.

• PSE now adds five or more new solar systems to the power grid every day.

• Solar is increasing in all eight of PSE’s electric service counties, with Kittitas, Whatcom and Island counties adding the most per capita.

• King County just topped 1000 solar arrays; Island County has just over 200; and Kittitas recently topped 100.

• PSE’s leading solar community -- by a wide margin -- is Bellingham with 427 solar arrays.

• Altogether, PSE’s solar customers have installed nearly 20 megawatts of solar modules, which is enough to cover 26 football fields.

The electricity output meets the annual power needs of roughly 1,600 homes.

Customers with solar arrays are a part of PSE’s net metering program, which can help cut their energy costs.

A portion of the electricity generated by the photovoltaic (PV) modules can be fed back into PSE’s power grid, creating credits for the customer. Another incentive is a state production payment program, which is administered by PSE. The incentive runs through 2020, and PSE estimates paying more than $5 million to solar customers this summer.

Guess what has not been upgraded since the 1960s?

The backbone of the Eastside’s electric grid has not been upgraded in 50 years. Soon, demand from new technologies and our unprecedented growth will exceed the grid’s capacity. We must upgrade now.

Woslogle trailered his TVR several hundred miles to get to the ABFM, but it was well worth heading down the road for the event.

“This is my first time to this meet, it’s low key and a lot of great cars here, so I was very happy that I came,” Woslogle said.

The heritage of British vehicles is long; it’s not just about the nation, but the journeys that these vehicles take us to.

“Since we left South Africa… Since we arrived in Uruguay we’ve done about 60,000 miles because we circumnavigated South America, most of those

teers. At the end, the rider with the best “hand” wins.

It’s a casual, easygoing ride - no racing or wild riding.

“This has been a fun and successful fundraiser for us in the past, and we know it will be the same for this year” said the organization’s Vice President Belinda Jensen. “Come enjoy time with your horse on these beautiful, easy trails and make some new friends while supporting this important local cause.”

Participants can arrive early and warm their horse up in the practice arena and enjoy free coffee and donuts. After the ride, lunch is available for purchase, along with a raffle.

Games will be set up in the Bridle Trails arena.

To attend the ride, participants must pre-register at www.CowgirlSpirit.org.

Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Registrations received before Aug. 9 will receive a free tshirt. Proceeds will benefit the organization’s horses, rescued from slaughter and neglect.

Volunteers are still needed to assist at the event. Cowgirl Spirit is also collecting raffle donations.

Cowgirl Spirit can arrange for pick up of donated items or donors can also mail items to the group at Cowgirl Spirit Equine Rescue, P.O. Box 2054, Woodinville, WA

98072, and a receipt will be sent back.

For more information on volunteering or donating to the raffle for this event, contact officers@csrdt.org.

The car had gone to other family members until it was garaged and found its way to Ibson.

“He did several cars through the years, but this is the one we’ve been able to keep in the family,” Ibson said. “He was an engineer,

aint Edwards Park opened its gates and grassy knolls to some visitors across the Atlantic ‘pond’ on July 25 as the All British Field Meet (ABFM) held its annual car show and swap meet on the boundary between Kirkland and Kenmore.

Car enthusiasts, of the UK-variety, clamored for space at the ABFM and for the opportunity to represent what their brand had to offer, even DeLoreans representing Ireland and Aurora Cobras representing Canada came out to the park to partake of British motoring culture.

“It’s been a wonderful day, the rains held off mostly, but being a British car show, that was rather fitting,” said Gary Cavett, the owner of a 1981 Delorean.

“I found my DeLorean through DeLorean Motor Cars Northwest [DMC Northwest],” Cavett said.

“I’ve had it a number of weeks, but I’ve been looking for a number of years. It’s a lot of fun.

DMC Northwest, located in Bellevue, is one of six DMC locations worldwide, most of which are in the US. Of course, it’s not just about celebrating the cars people from the British Isles

DelBene honored for support of National Parks Congresswoman Suzan DelBene received the Friend of the National Parks Award from the nonpartisan National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) on July 15. This award recognizes DelBene’s votes during the 113th Congress which contributed to the protection and enhancement of America’s national parks. “I am truly grateful to be among those recognized by the National Parks Conservation Association,� DelBene said. “Protecting our national parks is vital to preserving the quality of life we cherish in the Pacific Northwest for future generations. Washington’s First Congressional District is home to some of

our country’s most beautiful open spaces – from Alpine Lakes Wilderness to the North Cascades National Park – and I will continue to be a friend of the national parks as we continue to grow and expand our park system.�

This year, NPCA tracked votes for five national parkrelated votes in the House of Representatives. To receive the award, representatives needed to vote in favor of national parks on at least three of scored bills and DelBene is proud to have exceeded this requirement. “It’s an honor to recognize Congresswoman DelBene for supporting our nation- Suzan DelBene al parks on the floor of the House during the 113th Congress,� said NPCA President and CEO Clark Bunting. “As the 114th Congress works on policies and funding levels impacting our national parks, I look forward to working with Congresswoman DelBene to ensure national parks have safe roadways, are well maintained, and have the resources they need to thrive for their upcoming centennial.�
