Leases terminated for most Totem Lake Malls’ businesses Many stores looking to stay in Totem Lake area, Ross and Trader Joe’s to remain

n 1974, Denny’s Pet World was the first business to sign a lease in the upper section of the Totem Lake Malls.

Now, 41 years later, the store and many other businesses in the upper and lower mall are leaving in anticipation of the long-awaited redevelopment. According to several business owners the

Reporter spoke to, almost all of the businesses have had their leases terminated.

Owner John Fleshman first started working at the pet store when he was 14, later purchasing the business from his brother, Dennis Fleshman. He described the malls during the 1970s and 1980s as packed, with the storefronts 100 percent occupied compared to the all-but empty spaces it has

now.

While Fleshman said the malls have been in need of an upgrade, it also means a permanent departure for stores like Denny’s Pet World, which have been at the mall for 41 years.

“It’s kind of a bummer,” he said.

By November, they plan to open their new location at 13123 NE 124th Street across from Toyota of Kirkland, while keeping

their current store open until January.

“We just hope everyone will find us,” he said.

For many of their loyal customers, the announcement has come as a shock, though Fleshman said among the business owners the talk of redevelopment has been going on for years. In fact, he said he has plans from nearly a decade ago by the previous developers. In 2004, [ more LEASES page 3 ]

Race for King County Council pits long-time incumbent against Bellevue mayor

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

In the race for the King County Council seat in District 6 between incumbent Jane Hague and Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci, both are touting their ability to collaborate. And while Hague has name recognition and a long record on the council, Balducci’s own accomplishments are getting the attention of voters and elected officials alike.

“I know how to get things done,” Hague said.

“And my records shows that.”

Hague has been serving on the county council since 1994. Before that, she served as the manager of records and elections for King County and, like Balducci, has served on the Bellevue City Council.

“I love the Eastside,” Hague said. “I am excited about the growth of the Eastside and changing demographics and the ability to leverage that into making the Eastside a regional powerhouse.

This is a job that is exciting and ever-changing,

and I’m always looking at ways to solve new problems.”

One of the main issues that both seem to want to tackle is transportation on the Eastside. Hague is co-chair of the Regional Advisory Council, along with Dow Costantine, for the Eastside Rail Corridor, which is owned and managed by King County, the cities of Kirkland and Redmond, Sound Transit, and Puget Sound Energy.

The Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC) runs through the Kirkland section of the ERC. “To see that it embraces livability, transportation, and economic viability, is really exciting,” she said.

“The connections are wonderful.”

One of the major changes in the community, she said, is on the issue of a light rail.

“Back in the day when I ran for Bellevue, you couldn’t say the words ‘light rail’ and get elected in this town,” she said.

“And by 10 years you couldn’t run and not be in favor of light rail. I think I am better aligned with that.” [ more COUNCIL page 12 ]

A New Dentist in Town, Bringing Healthy Smiles & Innovative Ideas to Kirkland Driving over the crest of Market Street you may have noticed some large blue banners hanging from the clean-cut beige building at 1715 Market Street. These banners are announcing the Kirkland Reporter’s 2015 winner for the Best Dentist Award. Kirkland Family Dentistry, a modern and high-end dental practice has been a proud leader in delivering the highest quality of dental care since 1989.

Dr. Jonathan Everett and Dr. Benjamin Greene both describe the philosophy of the practice as one that is quite simple; quality cosmetic and comprehensive dental care should be affordable for the entire family.

Dr. Jonathan Everett This motto has driven Kirkland Family Dentistry’s success in delivering healthy smiles with the best materials available at reasonable prices for Kirkland families.

Kirkland Family Dentistry welcomed Dr. Everett into the practice back in 2014 and has since been seeking innovative ways to reach out to the community to let residents of Kirkland know that low-cost, top-notch dental care is available right here on Market Street. Dr. Everett truly enjoys working with children, as well as adults, and is focusing on bringing more families and children to the practice. To affirm his commitment to helping children and young adults in the community, he is offering all local sports players free custom mouth-guards that have a vastly superior quality to the generic, one-size-fits-all protectors available at supermarkets and drugstores. According to Dr. Everett, “someone just has to call the office to schedule an appointment for a quick impression, then

pick up the free personalized, custom mouth-guard a few days later. There are no catches or ‘gotchyas’. We want the community to know we are here to provide great care whenever someone has a dental need.” Free mouth-guards aren’t the only groundbreaking change Dr. Everett has brought to Kirkland’s dental community.

Kirkland Family Dentistry is now offering all new patients a comprehensive exam, cleaning, and x-rays for only 99¢ in order to introduce Kirkland residents Dr. Benjamin Greene to the practice to see the office and meet the highly-trained staff. When asked how the dental practice can offer this when it costs the office a few hundred dollars to provide these services to a new patient, Dr. Everett made an interesting point. “We are so confident that patients will appreciate and enjoy the office, staff, and dental care that we are willing to provide these professional services for 99¢. Patients who are apprehensive about going to a new dentist have nothing to loose at this price and we are confident they will trust us with their dental care for years to come after seeing what our office has to offer.”

With Dr. Everett joining the practice, both Dr. Greene and Dr. Everett will be able to provide more comprehensive care. Both doctors are looking forward to working together and serving the community for many years to come.

As Dr. Greene stated, “we are proud to have another doctor onboard to continue the legacy of great dental care, but in a team approach. Two heads are always better than one, and this goes for dentistry as well.”

238,000 residents lose power during windstorm

BY TJ MARTINELL AND MATT PHELPS

Kirkland Reporter

T

he powerful wind storm that blew down trees, telephone poles and littered local roads with debris also knocked out power to 238,000 residents in western Washington, according to Puget Sound Energy. More than 2,000 customers in Kirkland lost power during the storm according to PSE.com.

“We [had] 60 line crews and 16 tree crews working to help with restoration efforts, including additional crews brought into the area from as far as British Columbia,” said PSE spokesperson Christina Donegan.

There were still approximately 1,100 customers without power in King County on Monday morn-

ing but nearly all Kirkland residents had power restored

by Tuesday evening.

“Crews made steady progress throughout [Sunday], restoring power to customers in thousands of different locations from Whatcom to Thurston to Kitsap and King Counties,” Donegan said.

“We understand customer’s frustration at the time it takes to investigate damage and estimate when power will be restored. There’s a lot of work to do.”

In addition to strong winds, most trees still have their leaves and many of them have been stressed by recent drought conditions, making them more susceptible to snapping or falling, according to PSE. In many cases, old-growth trees uprooted, falling across roadways, on utility poles and through power wires.

The high winds on Saturday resulted in a lot of downed trees including this tree in the Totem Lake neighborhood of Kirkland.

GUEST EDITORIAL

Schools aren’t just under funded, failing

P

Jerry Cornfield

ublic schools are not just underfunded by the state as Washington’s Supreme Court has made abundantly clear.

Most of them are also failing, according to the federal government.

Parents of elementary and secondary students across the state are receiving letters this month explaining why their child attends a school deemed failing by the U.S. Department of Education. These letters, which already went out in Everett and Edmonds school districts, offer parents a chance to transfer their child to a nonfailing school in their district, if one exists, and to obtain tutoring if their family qualifies.

Roughly 90 percent of the state’s 2,300 schools must send out these letters. It’s punishment for not complying with a provision in the federal No Child Left Behind Act requiring every student meet state standards in math, reading and English language.

This was all kind of a big deal a year ago and has not made as much a stir this summer.

Remember Washington began 2014 with a waiver from the federal education law’s stringent rules. It then lost it. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan had warned he would revoke the waiver unless state law was changed to require the use of student test scores in evaluating teachers.

That set off a fierce fight involving lawmakers, Gov. Jay Inslee and Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn.

Most Democrats and a few Republican lawmakers opposed the change. So, too, did the Washington Education Association, the powerful statewide teacher’s union.

Inslee and Dorn met with Duncan in Washington, D.C. to gauge his resolve. They returned with determination to preserve the waiver, crafting what they hoped to be a compromise bill. It never earned a vote.

After Duncan kept his word and yanked the waiver, 1,916 schools sent out the so-called failing school letters. Only 260 schools didn’t because their students met the standards. Among them were Cedar Wood Elementary in Everett, Index Elementary School, Heritage High School in Tulalip and Lincoln Academy in Stanwood.

The letters are attracting less attention this year.

OPINION

[4] September 4, 2015

That’s partly due to the commotion caused by the Supreme Court’s $100,000-a-day fine against the state for lawmakers not turning in a plan to ensure ample funding for schools by a 2018 deadline.

Another reason is that lawmakers, the governor and state schools chief did not battle as long or as loudly on getting the waiver back in the long legislative session.

Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, did push a bill to revise the teacher evaluation system. It never gained traction as complying with McCleary grabbed his colleagues focus.

Then interest waned as a rewrite of the No Child Left Behind law drafted by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., made its way through the Senate.

As written it would do away with waivers – and the letters would stop -- if it reaches the president’s desk.

Still, sending out the letters really torques Dorn.

On Monday, when he released results of Smarter Balanced Assessments, he declared that while there continues to be gaps in achievement among ethnic groups at each grade level, overall “learning actually went up. The rigor actually went up.”

Those letters express a different message and one that can cause unnecessary confusion and worry for parents, he said.

But like underfunding, they’re a burden borne by public schools until those making the laws figure things out.

Summer is really over, be prepared On Saturday, my wife and I went to comedy show and the stand up comic made the joke that “boy, when summer ends, it really ends.”

But all joking aside, the storm was a good reminder that these types of events typically come out of nowhere and Kirkland residents should make sure to have provisions for unforeseen weather or natural disaster situations.

Despite the reports in the media, many people were caught off guard by the wind storm, probably because it was preceded by four months of sun and dry conditions. Nevertheless, being prepared for these types of evens can relieve stress.

Everyone should have flashlights with batteries that work, a first aid kit and canned food and bottled water to last a few days.

Make sure you know your neighbors before these types of emergencies hit our area. Get to know those in your neighborhood who could be the most at risk and need help in an emergency situation. It may not be you who needs the help.

Ode to summer and back-to-school To summer: I love you summer. You make my family life blissful, happy and free. You turn us away from the schedule and let us play and enjoy life. Summer you are my kind of happy.

To back-to-school: I hate to be negative, but in many ways, I resent you. You lock me into a schedule that takes my children away from me. You make them grow up and become one year older. Preschool turns to kindergarten. Third grade turns to fourth grade. Fifth grade turns to sixth grade. Seventh grade turns to eighth grade. Soon you will take them to college, I just know it.

Dearest summer: As I reflect upon the task of sending the kids back into their schools, I am struck by the way that time continues to march on. They are growing up. Summer

why does this happen? Why can’t you stave off back-to-school a while longer? Back-toschool sends us off into many directions.

Maybe you should stay longer, summer. The first day of school is nearly here. Make it stop, summer. I know summer you have seen me sneaking out with back-to-school.

Back-to-school, you led me to places that I shouldn’t have gone. Shopping, while summer wasn’t looking, we went to Target to collect the perfect items to enable their little brains to learn. We went to the mall together again and again. Back-to-school, regretfully, I let you make me write check after check for school fees (seven in all, thus far). You made me worry about the schedule and I got busy with lining up carpools. You promised it would help with the transition. I don’t know back-to-school maybe I should have stayed true to summer.

Back-to-school, I need to send you to timeout. Just wait right there and I will tell

you when to get up. I will tell you when I am ready for you. I should have put you there a while ago.

Summer, when those precious kids of mine put on their new backpacks and new shoes and head out the door I dream that we will all have cherished every minute possible with you. You are my happy place. Very truly, I love you summer.

Yet looking ahead, I know that I will acquiesce, even with my heavy heart. On back-toschool’s big day kindergarten, fourth, sixth, and eighth will emerge from pre-k, third, fifth, and seventh.

Back-to-school will take them away again.

Summer, you brighten my life. I could love and keep you forever. Thanks for everything.

Every moment has been awesome. I really can’t wait to see you again.

Summer, next time, please stay forever and never leave my side.

Residents pack meeting about seminary renovation

BY DEANNA ISAACS

Reporter Newspapers

Above, Kevin Daniels of Daniels Real Estate addresses residents during a meeting at the Northshore Utility District building in Kenmore on his plans for the Saint Edward seminary building in Saint Edward State Park.

Above right, the Saint Edward seminary building.

Below right, Daniels meets with local residents and answers individual questions. DEANNA ISAACS, Reporter Newspapers the building to the public for the first time in more than 40 years.

“We’ve been looking at other options, all with one goal: to save that building,” Daniels said. “We didn’t think other ideas would fit in that setting, so we toned it down to where we are today.”

Most of the concerns revolved around the impact of the concept-lodge to park-goers, whether in lost parks space or in lost parking spaces to access the park.

“The big change in what you will see there today, or 40 years ago when it was closed, is that the public will get to use it… it has to be something for the community, that they can use,” Daniels said. “It is an amazing asset of the community.

I’ll say it again: I’m here to save that building.”

While some were outspoken against the plan, many participants of the open meeting with the Washington State Parks and Recreation Department were supportive of the concept and hoped that someone would come and save the seminary.

“This is a great opportunity, I think, to do something

for the public good. The proof of the pudding was working with Kevin, Trevina and the rest of the team,” said Sheldon Haber, Vice President for Finance and Administration of Bastyr University. “Everything that you see is real. The DNA of Bastyr is very similar to the DNA of Daniels Real Estate, [and] I think it’s similar to the DNA of the city of Kenmore and Washington State Parks. We have nothing but positive experiences with the Daniels Real Estate group.”

“Where else are you going to find a trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation?” asked Haber in a conversation with The Reporter.

Kevin Daniels is not only a trustee of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, but has also brought many local iconic buildings back from the brink of destruction, including the First Methodist Church and the Starbucks Building in Seattle.

If the extension is not granted, the Washington State Parks and Recreation staff currently occupying the building during work-days will vacate the building, it

will be boarded up and may even be fenced off to keep would-be trespassers out.

“Plan B is to vacate the building. It means boarding up the windows, it means maybe putting up a fence around it, … and so there are conventional ways that State Parks will go about vacating the building,” Hankinson said. “In general, the building, if left vacant, will fall apart over time. It means we are not going to invest in the building at all. We’re going to shut off the water, electricity, the building will flood and that will make the building deteriorate.”

An outlook that would leave future generations bereft of this landmark and historic building.

“You’re talking about a building built by one of the leading architects of the first half of the century, a gentleman by the name of John Graham, Sr. You may

know his son better, he built that little thing called the Space Needle,” Daniels said.

“This is one of [Graham, Sr.’s] best projects, if not his best project. This building is of national significance, of state significance, of town significance and of Kenmore significance. You have a great asset there.”

The meeting was the first of many the Washington State Parks and Recreation Department plans of hosting with the Kenmore community concerning their opinions of what should happen to the seminary.

For more information, please visit the Washington State parks website, www. parks.wa.gov. Interested persons can also view the documents provided by the Daniels Real Estate firm for their concept of the seminary building.

that trail that goes down to the water, they’re trespassing.”

The Daniels Real Estate firm will exchange a 10-acre plot of McDonald land for the seminary, ensuring that hikers won’t be trespassing, along with adding to the existing park shoreline.

In return, the Daniels group would get about eight acres around the building along with the building itself, and plans to rehabilitate the seminary.

Kevin Daniels, president of the Daniels Real Estate Firm, was first introduced to the building when Bastyr University came to his firm with the idea of bringing the seminary back as dorm rooms and classrooms.

“Unfortunately, that’s when I fell in love with the building,” Daniels said.

“I’ll be up-front, I have a problem falling in love with buildings. I love the building, I love its setting [and] I love that great park. It’s just a magnificent oasis in this urban village we live in.”

The process began with a letter of interest from Kevin Daniels outlining a concept for a lodge that would have a restaurant, spa and, most importantly, it would open

large crowd of no fewer than 200 people crowded into the standing room only meeting room of the Northshore Utility District building on Aug. 25 to hear about a proposal for Saint Edwards Seminary and a request for a time extension from Daniels Real Estate firm to the state.

The seminary building is located in Saint Edward State Park on the boundary between Kenmore and Kirkland.

“State Parks, about a year ago, had a commission meeting and in that commission meeting, the commission gave direction to staff to work to find a partner to rehabilitate the building. That year is about to expire in September,” said Michael Hankinson, Washington State Parks and Recreation department.

“At a staff level, we have reviewed what Kevin Daniels presented to us last week and we feel it has enough merit to explore further.”

A few weeks ago, The Bothell-Kenmore Reporter revealed a new proposal for the seminary which would turn the dilapidated and decaying building, currently owned by the financially deprived Washington State Parks and Recreation Department, into a lodge like those found on many national parks.

“It’s a new concept to State Parks, our commissioners are not familiar with it, so we’re starting at the very beginning,” Hankinson said.

Usually, the public is not included until after a concept has been fleshed out, however the Parks and Rec. Department decided to start the process concerning the seminary building with a public forum and a little education about the park itself.

“Did you know that our trail system cuts right through the middle of [the McDonald property]?” Hankinson asked citizens at the meeting. “When people take

Three of five former JHS football players plead down to assault

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Three of the five Juanita High School (JHS) students accused of assaulting a special needs student in the school locker room have pleaded guilty to lesser charges.

The three students pleaded guilty to third degree assault and were sentenced Monday in Juvenile Court to 12 months of community supervision, 48 hours of community service, as well as other conditions, including that they not re-enroll at JHS. The cases against the remaining two students are still pending in Juvenile Court, according to King County Prosecutor’s Spokesperson Dan Donohoe. One of the defendants had a case scheduling hearing on Wednesday (after Reporter deadline) and the other is scheduled for trial on Oct. 19.

All five of the former JHS football players were charged with second degree

attempted rape for trying to sodomize a special-needs student on Oct. 22.

The five players, all freshman C-Team players on the JHS football team at the time of the incident, were accused by the King County Prosecutor’s Office of having planned to sodomize the student as part of hazing ritual known as “jubie,” according to court documents.

The defendants lured the special needs student, an 18-year-old senior, into the shower area of the locker room by telling the victim that they had a picture of his girlfriend and teased him about it, the documents continue.

According to the police report, witnesses said the incident appeared to be retaliation for some horseplay earlier that afternoon involving several players, including the victim, who were throwing ice and water at each other.

Several witnesses also told investigators that one of the suspects was filming the incident on his cell phone.

After repeated attempts to hurt the victim, the five suspects fled the locker room.

According to the victim, the suspects let go of him when other football players who walked in told the suspects “this isn’t funny.”

The Kirkland Police Department was later contacted by an aunt of the victim, who had been informed of the incident by JHS Athletic Director Steve Juzeler. Former JHS head football coach Shaun Tarantola, who left the school for unrelated reasons last spring, also called the victim’s home that night to apologize for the incident, according to a statement by the victim.

During the follow-up investigation, police discovered one of the suspects sent out a text to the other four prior to the attempted rape saying they were “gonna jubie” the victim. Shortly before the attempted rape another suspect said “Alright, it’s time” before heading to the shower area, according to witnesses.

Four of the students were

questioned at the school by officers, and while several of the suspects initially denied involvement. One confessed to trying to sodomize the victim with a broom handle, the documents continue.

The Reporter is not naming the defendants as they were charged in juvenile court.

All four were arrested and then released to their parents. The fifth suspect did not show up for school the day after the incident and was later brought to the KPD by his father.

The KPD investigation concluded that “it is clear (victim’s name withheld) was lured into the shower area of the Juanita boys’ locker room to be assaulted.

Further it is clear that the suspects’ intentions were to perform a hazing ritual act known to football players as ‘jubie.’”

Lake Washingon School District officials have stated that they are not able to discuss most of the details about the investigation or any information about the students involved due to the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, a federal law regarding student privacy, which prohibits them from releasing information about students.

“Accessing quality health care should be convenient and simple,” said Mike Waters, senior vice president of physician services at Providence. “We believe this collaboration is a solution for health care providers to better serve populations. With Walgreens’ nationwide footprint and deep understanding of patients’ needs, together we can ease the way for consumers and ultimately, create healthier communities.”

The clinic will operate extended hours seven days a week, allow for walk-ins and same-day scheduling, and provide an after-hours option for care on evenings and weekends, according to the health care provider.

The three biggest senior leaders for the team this year are wide receiver Scout Callens, linebacker Dylan Bacher and lineman Matt Malloy.

“It is an attitude thing,” Bacher said. “It is about mental toughness and the belief we can get it done it’s about swagger.”

That swagger has been infectious for team, which had a good turnout of players for this year.

“We have a lot of guys and the talent pool is so much bigger,” Callens said.

“It helps that we all know each other, too.”

The size of the team and the dedication of the players has given the team fuel for the difficult times during long preseason practices. The three players said that they have taken it upon themselves to include everyone and try to make the team more of a family.

“The energy we have is really contagious and it makes everyone better,” Malloy said.

Those “right things” have to do with preparation and work ethic. He said that he wants his team to get away from the things that control them and focus on the things they can control.

Juanita High School Juanita football team will try to utilize speed to its advantage

BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com

T

he Juanita High School football team’s season came to an abrupt end last season with a first round loss in the state playoffs. Since that time the team has gone through many changes, including the hiring of long time assistant coach Lele Te’o as the new head coach.

Te’o has deep roots in the Kirkland community, starting out at Finn Hill Middle School and moving up through the football ranks with current Lake Washington head coach AJ Parnell.

Te’o knows his team better than most new head coaches and he feels confident in the team that will take the field tonight against Ingelmoor during the first game of the season.

We lost some really good players but we have a lot of players who have been playing since they were sophomores or even fresh-

men,” Te’o said. “We have a lot of speed and we like to play fast.”

Size does not always accompany speed and that is where Te’o says his coaching staff ’s job begins.

“We are going to move them around a lot and they are going to have to work together,” Te’o said. “We can’t make a small guy play like a big guy.

The coaches are doing a great job of making sure the guys are ready.”

Te’o said that his experience coaching the line last year gives him insight into how one of the most important elements of the team will work this season.

“On this team, if you can play one position on the offensive line you can play them all,” Te’o said. “We have 11 offensive lineman

this year.”

That diversity will let Te’o keep his players fresh during an entire game.

One of the fastest and most athletic players on the team who will be depending on that line is starting running back Salvon Ahmed.

The junior is already getting looked at by many Division I colleges - and for good reason.

“This is a kid I have known for a long time and he made a play today I could not believe,” Te’o said.

“This is his third year in this system.”

Tavin Montgomery and Dexter Mills will get time under center for the Rebels this season.

“They both have really live arms,” Te’o said. “They are really smart football players.”

Montgomery is a senior who counts Ahmed as one

New Juanita High School head football coach Lele Te’o addresses his team following a recent preseason workout. MATT PHELPS, Kirkland Reporter of his best friends since the sixth grade.

I don’t think we could be closer if we were blood,” Montgomery said.

“He never takes a play off.

He is 100 percent all the time.”

Montgomery knows that he and Ahmed have some unfinished business on the field and likes what he sees with the direction of the program this year.

“I trust Le and our lineman,” Montgomery said.

“I would go to war with any of them.”

Another weapon for the Rebels will be senior wide receiver Makiah Gilmer.

“He is a DI kid,” Te’o said. “He understands defenses.”

Gilmer said that it is all about the team being more aggressive and physical.

“We have to focus on

JOIN US FOR

coming together as a team and keep a good work ethic,” Gilmer said.

Senior corner Dillon Moctezuma will strike fear into opposing quarterbacks this season looking to throw the ball.

“He is really coming into his own,” Te’o said.

“He plays and practices at 100 percent all the time.”

A new addition to the team is AJ Peacock, who transferred from Inglemoor High School. He has also changed position from quarterback to safety.

“He is a very gifted kid, just a ball hawk,” Te’o said.

The team will have a tough road this season with a game against division rival Bellevue and a big rivalry game against Lake Washington.

But Te’o has high hopes for the program.

If you don’t believe you are going to win the state title you shouldn’t be out here,” Te’o said.

Balducci, a member of the Sound Transit Board of directors and past chair of the Eastside Transportation Partnership, also cited transportation as a major concern of hers. Interstate 405, which is poised to begin tolling the two high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes next month, is notorious for traffic congestion.

“You’ve got people who are spending up to three weeks a year sitting in traffic,” Balducci said. “It’s the number one thing we hear about.

If elected, she said, her biggest priority would be enabling people to get around the Eastside faster.

“I would love to have people say it’s easier to get around, I have better options,” she said.

accomplish things with colleagues despite disagreements, including during the planning for a light rail line through Bellevue that involved contention within both the community and the council itself. She also cited the council’s adoption last year of a 20-year vision for the city on matters ranging from economic development to transportation and mobility, along with two-year priorities.

“We’ve done a lot of that list in just over 18 months because we came together on things we agreed on,” she said. “I’m really proud of the vision-setting where I made it about us…you look for the common answers.

We may have different approaches for what that means, but we identified the things we had in common and put our energy behind those things.”

To accomplish similar goals at a regional level, she said, will require change within the county council itself.

“We need more active, more involved leadership, somebody that is going to get deep into the issues of the day and help to form solutions and address differences of opinions,” she said.

“I have not seen that from leadership in a while.”

Balducci has been endorsed, among numerous local unions, organizations, and politicians, by US Representative Suzan DelBene and Matt Isenhowever, a former candidate for State Senate.

Lake is at its lowest in nearly three decades

prompted Corps officials to speed up the annual refill reaching a 21.95 foot elevation in early May. “The low snow pack and early forecasts prompted us to accelerate the annual refill compared to normal years, and we also started water conservation efforts in April, which is unprecedented,” Brettmann said. “Based on weather predictions, forecast inflows, and expected evaporation we anticipate the minimum lake level this year to be about 19 feet, about another foot down from where we currently are.”

Because any of the factors can change and could potentially affect the lake level, Brettmann and Corps officials are urging everyone to prepare for a minimum as low as 18.5 feet. Early conservation measures the Corps implemented, limiting smolt flume usage for juvenile salmon and maximizing

lockage efficiency, has so far saved an equivalent of nearly a foot of lake level. Without those conservation measures, the minimum projected lake level would be 18 feet, below the current record low 18.35 foot level recorded in 1958.

“The locks staff has done an excellent job of efficiently using the locks to move vessels and save water,” said Brettmann, who oversees reservoir regulation at all Corps Western Washington projects. “Recreational boaters are waiting up to an hour, perhaps a little longer, depending on vessel traffic.

We understand the hardship for many associated with the lake dropping below the 20 foot mark, but this is an extreme year.”

Brettmann added it’s unlikely that next year will be this extreme, but it’s important people be prepared and understand these events happen, so be prepared.

Washington State’s historic drought is pushing Lakes Washington and Union below the normal annual 20-foot mark for the first time in 28 years, and officials anticipate another foot drop.

Lake levels typically hit the 20-foot mark in December, according to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Senior Water Manager Ken Brettmann. The measurement went below 20 feet, officially measured at the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks in Ballard, around 9 a.m., Aug. 25. The lowest recent recorded level below 20 feet is 19.44 feet, measured in late October 1987.

The Corps usually begins raising lake levels in February, reaching 22 feet by late May or June. The higher level helps meet water use between June and October when inflows are generally low, providing water necessary for fish passage, navigation and salinity control. Water is slowly consumed throughout the summer, until it reaches the winter level typically in early December.

This year, early concerns

Kirkland hospital honored by U.S. News & World Report For the third consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report recognized EvergreenHealth as one of the top health care organizations in the region for its exceptional clinical care. The publication’s 2015-16 rankings name the Kirkland-based health system the No. 3 hospital in the Seattle metro area and No. 4 hospital in Washington State.

“We do not set out to earn these types of recognitions, rather our focus is always on our patients and providing the very best care,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “Using national best practices and our hallmark EvergreenHealth experience, we strive to create an environment that safeguards the health and well-being of those who trust us with their

care. And then we must ask ourselves, ‘how do we get even better?’ so that we can keep earning that trust through exceptional service and the safest, highest quality care.”

U.S. News & World Report recognizes hospitals that excel in providing the best care for the most serious or complicated medical conditions and procedures. In addition to the Best Regional Hospitals list, U.S. News acknowledged EvergreenHealth for high performance in gastroenterology and GI surgery, as well for performance in the procedural areas of hip replacement, knee replacement and heart failure.

Its annual “Best Hospitals” rankings, now in its 26th year, help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition or added risk because of other health problems or age.

“Patients deserve high quality information on hospitals,” said Ben Harder, chief of health analysis at U.S. News. “We strive to provide them with the most comprehensive data available so they can make more informed decisions together with their doctor about where to undergo

treatment.”

“We continue to push forward health care transparency for the benefit of our patients,” said Malte. “Whether it is our personalized cost estimate service launched last year, or quality ratings based on nationally reported data, we support efforts to provide patients with information in advance of treatment or care, so they can decide which provider or health system is best for their needs.”

The specialty rankings and data were produced for U.S. News by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Research Triangle Park, N.C. U.S. News used both the specialty rankings and its recently published Best Hospitals for Common Care ratings to produce the Best Regional Hospitals list.

The Best Hospitals methodology measures patient volume, riskadjusted survival rates and adequacy of nurse staffing, among other care-related indicators. U.S. News further expanded the number of physicians surveyed for the 2015-16 rankings.

The U.S. News rankings have been published at http://health.usnews.com/ best-hospitals, will appear in print in the U.S. News

Best Hospitals 2016 guidebook and will be available at bookstores and newsstands in August.
