After 38 years of working in government — the last 10 of which have been with the City of Redmond — Craig Larsen is retiring. The 64-year-old Shoreline resident will be stepping down as director of parks, recreation and cultural arts at the end of this month. “My wife Chris and I have a very busy life outside of work,” Larsen said about why he is retiring. “We enjoy travel, landscaping and home remodeling, and I have a serious car hobby including a couple of sports cars and a vintage race car I built and race as often as I can. We bought a beach house last year and I look forward to being able to enjoy it more often.”
CAREER CONTRIBUTIONS
With Larsen at the helm of the department, the city acquired four miles of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad right-of-way and built the Redmond Central Connector, according to a City of Redmond press release. He has

When Manjari Gupta moved to Washington state in 2008, it was for her husband’s job. He had been working for Microsoft Corp. in Hyderabad, India and was relocated to the company’s main campus in Redmond. The couple initially rented a place in Bellevue, uncertain about whether
they wanted to stay in the United States. It wasn’t until October 2013 that they finally took the plunge for more permanence — buying a house on Redmond Ridge. And last month, the two took things one step further and became naturalized U.S. citizens. Gupta said one of the reasons they decided to become citizens was so they could vote and participate more fully in the government process. “To be a U.S. citizen is a big deal,” she said. Prior to becoming an official American, Gupta was already living her [ more GUPTA page 14 ]
The City of Redmond experienced power outages, fallen trees and more during last Saturday’s vicious windstorm. From Saturday through this week, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) crews responded to clusters of power outages in Redmond, according to Akiko Oda, PSE’s media engagement program manager. According to the city, last Saturday and Sunday there were power outages at six signals, which went into flash mode; power outages of about six hours at various water sites and wastewater sites; flooding under the trestle on Redmond Way with leaves blocking a storm drain; a tree branch in one roadway; three fallen trees at Avondale Road Northeast at Northeast 104th Street, Northeast 90th Street at 154th Avenue Northeast and 3015 West Lake Sammamish Parkway (tree on power lines and PSE was notified). A Redmond Police Department spokesperson added: “Even with the weather, we did not see an appreciable number of traffic collisions. Police reports that citizens as a whole did very well with reporting outages to PSE first (rather than calling 911), and we are proud of them for that.” Fittingly, Redmond Ready Day will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 12 at Fire Station 17, 16917 N.E. 116th St. Check-in begins at 8:30 a.m. “Be prepared for the unexpected.

Sound levels were not so sublime for some Redmond residents last weekend during a pair of concerts at Marymoor Park. Logan Harris, spokesman for King County Parks, said parks staff — using a Goldline Sound level meter during the Sublime with Rome shows — took 16 high-end readings on Saturday night. The average level was 100, which was 11 percent higher than the agreed-upon maximum of 90. On Sunday, staff took 11 high-end and low-end readings: The average of high-end sound readings was 97, which was 8 percent above 90; the average of low-end readings was 115, which was 28 percent above 90. “Occasional spikes of over 105 are acceptable, but these readings were consistently over,” said Harris, noting that

the sound-booth person was told not to take low-end readings on Saturday. “The music’s level was completely unacceptable. Household windows shook during the whole concert,” said Mayor John Marchione in a press release. “The county needs to take responsibility for its events.” Marchione sent a letter to King County Executive Dow Constantine and Sheriff John Urquhart, noting that “Marymoor Park needs to act like a good neighbor and turn down the volume.” According to the release, residents who called the King County 911 dispatch reported that they were told to contact the Redmond City Council, which doesn’t have jurisdiction over Marymoor Park. Lisa Rhodes, City of Redmond communications manager, said they received six complaints via email to the mayor, City Council and the information line, and the Redmond Police Department had 14 complaint calls (five on Saturday and nine on Sunday) logged into its dispatch records.

Overall, we have received very few complaints about concert volumes this year. While we believe the recent concerts were an anomaly, King County Parks will work with the community and evaluate potential changes that would improve the process.” Brown said they take the complaints seriously, since they work hard to be a good neighbor and ensure that the concert series is an enjoyable experience and a boon to the local economy.

Fire department extinguishes residential structure blaze; no injuries
Range, Redmond Police Department public information officer, there were no injuries and she said a firefighter noted that the blaze was under control at 1:57 p.m. The north and south ends of 172nd were closed during the incident. RFD Battalion Chief Doug Kammerzell reported that “initial reporting parties stated a brush fire caught the neighboring house on fire.” On arrival, RFD crews witnessed that the fire spread to the second floor and attic. “The initial attack line

Cormac Meagher, who lives five houses down from the home on fire, was eating lunch when the emergency vehicles drove past with sirens wailing. “I stepped outside and saw the smoke,” said Meagher. “The fire department had it knocked down quickly, within 10 minutes or so.” The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

When ‘no’ means ‘no’
Recently, Redmond voters rejected two levies that were meant to improve local parks and enhance public safety. It was a referendum, of sorts, on voter satisfaction with the quality of current investments and the direction of their local government. As a parks and trails commissioner, I find it difficult to watch our staff having to support an existing, world-class park system on a shoestring budget, all the while our complimentary community facilities are closer to failure. Where is the strategy? Where is the leadership? Continued densification of our urban centers requires a level of care and feeding that Redmond can’t afford on its current budget — a situation that will mandate a reduction of our quality of life in Redmond unless voters are willing to pay more taxes. The clock is ticking on current assets (i.e., Hartman Pool, Redmond Senior Center, Public Safety Building) and others aren’t meeting the needs of the community (i.e., Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, Northeast Redmond Park, Southeast Redmond Park, anything in Overlake). As the city is running low on funding options, I am guessing we will be faced with another round of brinksmanship. I wish someone would ask growth to pay for growth.
Nicholas Lee City of Redmond Parks and Trails commissioner
Pleased the props failed
I am pleased that the Redmond propositions did not pass because I felt the additional taxes were not needed. I noticed a few letters appeared in our Redmond Reporter submitted by city council and the mayor. They seemed to be disappointed but not surprised by the majority “no” votes. I live near Hartman Park on Education Hill. I pass through the park every day with my dog walks. The park is well used by Microsoft soccer leagues, and school football, soccer teams and, of course, Little League baseball teams. The park appears to be well maintained, and is clean. There is a maintenance man that does a great job. Thus, I couldn’t see a need to spend more tax dollars at Hartman Park.

Former mayor Himes not endorsing either candidate In June, mayoral candidate Steve Fields met with former mayor Chris Himes to discuss his candidacy, and asked Himes if she would support him. Himes responded that many people in Redmond no longer knew her, but that she was very supportive of what he was proposing. Though Fields heard Himes verbally give her support and endorsement, Himes recalls saying she would consider it. Upon further reflection, Himes has decided that due to her affiliation with the Redmond Historical Society, she will not be endorsing either candidate in the mayor’s race. Instead of endorsing a particular candidate, Himes is happy we have a competitive election, where the important issue of Redmond’s future (especially in a time of rapid growth) can be debated through a democratic process. She looks forward to an ongoing debate on the issues — as do many Redmond citizens.

Marchione: qualifications and experience
There’s been much talk about the finance and budgeting qualifications of the candidates for mayor in this election. One candidate says he’s been an efficiency expert. One candidate has actually implemented efficiency. As a chief operating officer of a wealth management company, I deal with managing operating efficiency daily and therefore recognize those who accomplish the same. This fall, we have a choice on two candidates whose qualifications are distinctly different it comes to this direct work experience. Since Mayor John Marchione came into office, he completely overhauled the budgeting process for the city to a more transparent, citizen-driven process, reduced the size of city government and produced balanced budgets. We survived the big recession without having to make painful cuts to city services. The City of Redmond now has an AAA rating from Standard and Poor’s. Mayor Marchione had 10 years of experience as a CFO at Meydenbauer prior to becoming mayor. Small businesses are important to a city, but running a city is not like running a small business. Before running for mayor, Mayor Marchione served on the City Council, learning more about how Redmond worked before attempting to run it himself. He also was a founding board member of the Lake Washington Schools Foundation, as well as active in other community organizations. Qualifications and experience. That’s what I want in a mayor.

Fields: a strong and experienced leader
As someone who has been a close friend of Steve Fields for more than eight years, I want to set the record straight in response to Jeni Craswell’s Aug. 28 characterization of Fields’ experience and passion for the issues concerning Redmond. Moreover, I believe Craswell should have been up front about being the mayor’s former campaign manager and a current activist in his re-election campaign before she discredited Fields’ experience. Craswell asserted that Fields has “no experience and no indication of a desire to gain that experience.” Her statement ignores Fields’ more than 25 years of experience working with or in government
agencies — including his most recent 11 years of service at the City of Seattle and King County reducing costs and improving services. He is attending many commission meetings, meeting with former and current city commissioners, talking at length with current and former city staff and conferring with professional experts on a range of issues concerning Redmond. Fields is running for mayor because so many of us have asked him to run. Many of us feel we don’t have a voice. You only have to watch the council meeting the week after the election, where in the last five minutes, the mayor explained that he thinks the two recent levy propositions lost because people are happy with the way things are going. In reality, I think people voted them down because we don’t trust the way our city is being managed. (You can watch the council meeting here: http:// redmond.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_ id=2&clip_id=609) The failed propositions, which the current mayor spent considerable resources campaigning for, indicate that he does not know what the people living in Redmond consider to be important. The mayor spends a lot of his time with regional organizations, and the consequence is evident in the gap between his vision and the priorities of Redmonders at-large. I don’t see how the mayor is going to advocate for Redmond regionally, if he doesn’t even know what we consider to be priorities at home. Fields is a strong leader. He is restoring people’s confidence by ensuring that we Redmond residents are a central part of the decision-making that affects our future. His campaign is spearheading much-needed, vibrant political discussion about Redmond and the direction we are headed. It’s been a long time since most of us felt our opinions mattered. If you want a new administration — one with approachable leadership, and experience in getting local government focused on priorities we need now, please join me in voting for Fields.

Mayor John Marchione is active on regional boards and commissions, effectively representing Redmond. He serves on the Sound Transit Board, making sure that light rail comes to Overlake and working to bring light rail to downtown. He’s also on the King County Metro Services Guideline Task Force. Whether or not you use it, every rider of public transit is one less driver on the road. Housing, too, is a regional issue with explosive growth in the younger population in the region.

Interest in this site has grown nationwide. “There is a growing national recognition by those interested in Native American life-ways at the end of the Ice Age that western Washington, and the vicinity of Bear Creek in particular, is a place we should be paying attention to,” Kopperl says. Michael Haley, senior project manager for the City of Redmond, recalls that it “was both exciting and concerning” when the team discovered what turned out to be a site where arrowheads and other hunting tools were made. Buried underneath the peat along the creek were thousands of stone flakes and scrapers — as
well as parts of six stone tools. “I was excited to be a part of the extraordinary discovery, but concerned with how this unexpected find would impact our ability to deliver the stream relocation project within budget and in a reasonable timeline,” says Haley. “I am happy to report,” he adds, that both budget and timeline were met. The most significant artifacts will be curated at the Muckleshoot Tribe’s museum in Auburn, says Haley. “The artifacts will be available at the museum for professional archaeologists to perform research on a permanent basis and may be available for public display in coordination with the museum.”
account as much affordability as we can build into it. Mayor Marchione has the experience and the ability to balance the different needs. And still keep the city a place we would love living in. Having been on the Planning Commission for several years, I have seen the mayor at close range working on these two important issues, amongst others. Mayor Marchione was the founder of the Washington Tech Cities Coalition, which brought together 15 cities to advocate for the needs of those cities in the legislature, amplifying Redmond’s voice in the legislature. A voice at the state level is critical
and Mayor Marchione has made the connections to improve our opportunities there too. While growth is a good thing, the pressures put on transportation infrastructure and housing are enormous. We need to look at ourselves as part of a region, not an isolated community. We need someone with not just experience, but also a voice in regional planning to deal with problems on that scale. We need a mayor who has the proven capability and credibility to accomplish regional objectives. We need Marchione.

Redmond’s contemporary claim to fame has been software, but there’s something that goes way back — more than 10,000 years — that is redefining Redmond’s importance by helping scientists understand how humans first settled North America. That something is an ancient tool-making site that was found along Bear Creek during the City of Redmond’s recent salmon restoration project. It is the oldest artifact assemblage from western Washington. “This site is our first opportunity to study how Native Americans made the Puget Lowlands their home at the end of the Ice Age,” says Dr. Robert Kopperl, the project’s lead archaeologist. Kopperl, who works for SWCA Environmental Consultants, will speak on Sept. 12 at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse as part of the Redmond Historical Society Saturday Speaker Series.

Imai said as a teacher, she said she was able to impact the lives of the students in her classroom.

In addition to Washington locations, Jance’s current book tour will include stops in Oregon, Arizona, New Mexico, Missouri, Iowa and Nebraska. Jance, who lives in Bellevue, said “Bones” brings together characters from two of her series — Seattle homicide detective J.P. Beaumont and Arizona sheriff Brandon Walker.
The two men team up through a cold case in Arizona and an unsolved murder in Seattle. Despite having more than 50 books under her belt — with 23 featuring Beaumont and four featuring Walker — this is the first time Jance has brought the two together in an act of what she calls “author cross pollination,” to bring in readers from one series on board with the other series. “It was difficult,” she admitted about merging the two characters’ stories. Jance said many people think the author is in control of things when they write, but
that is not the case — it’s the characters who are in charge. And this is exactly what happened when she started writing “Bones.” She said Beaumont kept on wanting to take over things. So to remedy this, Jance wrote “Stand Down,” a novella featuring Beaumont. She said pieces of both Beaumont’s and Walker’s stories play into the plot of the novella. Having written so many books — the first of which was published in 1985 — Jance said one of the ways she is able to keep things fresh is to not always write about the same characters. Instead, she said, she goes from character to character (she has four series featuring four different sets of characters). Jance said if she didn’t do this, Beaumont — the first character she ever created — would have died. When asked what is her favorite thing about writing, Jance said the writing itself. “I think it’s pretty wonderful to live my dream,” she said. “I’m incredibly grateful about that.”

When she learned about the opening at Einstein, she thought it was a perfect fit and “took the jump” to move to the Eastside for the job. “It has been great,” Imai said about her time so far, which began over the summer. She said she met with the Einstein staff in the summer during Learning Enhancement Academic Planning (LEAP) Days. Imai said those days were a great opportunity for her to get to know her staff before school started. “I just know it’s going to be an amazing year,” she said about what she is looking forward to these next nine months. “We’re just all here for learning.”

Correcting a poorly designed stormwater system that impacts traffic along West Lake Sammamish Parkway is the focus of a project that received a grant from the King County flood Control District (FCD). The City of Redmond will be able to make upgrades with the grant given by the FCD for projects that focuses on both flood prevention and flood mitigation. “We are so pleased to see many projects on the Eastside funded,” said Mayor John Marchione. “We are thrilled to partner with the city of Redmond to keep roads safe and commute traffic moving through avoiding flooding of streets along West Lake Sammamish Parkway N.E.,” said Flood Control District Supervisor Jane Hague, who represents Redmond on the Flood Control District. The $340,500 grant will allow for improvements along Northeast 50th Way and West Lake Sammamish Parkway. The area is subject to frequent flooding due to a poorly designed stormwater conveyance system that sends flows into a steam channel that ultimately discharges back into the conveyance system. This approved project will separate the stormwater flows and pipe them directly to the

The Bear Creek School opens 52,000-squarefoot new upperschool building On Wednesday, The Bear Creek School’s upper-school students in grades 9-12 started the school year in a new building. The new 52,000-squarefoot building sits on adjacent property south of the existing main building at its Redmond campus on 208th Avenue Northeast. Construction was completed by the general con-
tractor, JR Abbott Construction, Inc. in June, on time and on schedule, one year after commencing in June 2014. The Bear Creek School is planning a Building Dedication Celebration from 4-7 p.m. Sept. 12. The event will include children’s activities, tours of the new building, and the dedication ceremony. The new upper school echoes a collegiate environment, with separate floors for the humanities and for math and science. The physical layout will accommodate increased enrollment and will enable additional program and curriculum development
and integration. The centerpiece of the new building is a central atrium that offers flexible areas for learning micro-communities, study sessions, presentations and student-faculty interaction beyond the classroom walls. This atrium will also serve as the cafeteria mid-day and theater reception area in the evening. The building features three large, dedicated science labs, a Student Leadership suite, an Innovation Lab, a state-of-the-art library and classrooms with lots of natural light and environmentally responsive features built in throughout.

Redmond ready to run past opponents, notch some wins ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Redmond High’s Gerald Wright attempts to evade a tackler during last Friday’s Green versus Gold scrimmage. Redmond will host Newport at 7 p.m. tonight in the league opener. Courtesy of Marc LaPierre Mustangs finished 5-5 his first year and 1-8 last season. The Redmond crew feels the third time’s a charm to really make an impact on the gridiron.
“I think we’re a confident group, we’re gonna be fast and we’re gonna be physical, a lot of guys are eager to get after it,” Catanzaro said. “People just wanna win. You
MEET
Alex Catanzaro was mildmannered, but sported a dead serious look on his face when he described what it will take for the Redmond High football team to win this season. The Mustangs are bent on outhitting and outhustling their 4A Kingco opponents and playing mentally tough for all four quarters. “If we do that every single game, no one can beat us,” said the senior co-captain, who will man the center and nose guard positions. Catanzaro said the players and coaches truly believe that philosophy this season, which begins at 7 p.m. tonight with a home game against Newport. Under the helm of head coach Jason Rimkus, the
can tell more people show up every day in the weight room. We’re competitive with each other and that’s gonna translate to the field.” Added Luke Kennedy,
a junior co-captain who plays inside linebacker and offensive lineman: “I think more than anything, I wanna see a change in the Redmond community’s mindset on football. I want to prove ourselves, which we haven’t in the past couple years. I’m hoping that we can really physically beat up on teams and execute to a much higher level than we have in the past, and we can show that we can play 4A Kingco football just as well as the next team.” Senior quarterback and co-captain Nick Swanson will lead the way, followed by a host of top returners, including fellow co-captains Gerald Wright (senior wide receiver/cornerback) and Corey Chandler (senior wide receiver/safety). Other talented returners include seniors Ty Allen
(wide receiver/cornerback), Parker Narloch (wide receiver/cornerback), Joe Becker (wide receiver/safety), Aleck Byrnes (running back/ linebacker), Logan Little (offensive and defensive lineman) and Kyle Burgmeier (offensive and defensive lineman). Representing the junior class are Brad Baker (running back/safety), Cameron Boone (running back/ inside linebacker) and Tyler Ross (offensive and defensive lineman). Coach Rimkus said the Mustangs have a new offensive scheme in place where every play has a run or pass option, and Swanson will decide what transpires when the ball is snapped. Rimkus said the goal on offense is to arrive at third down and manageable, with about four yards to reach another set [ more MUSTANGS page 11 ]

[ MUSTANGS from page 10] of downs. Defensively, the Mustangs want to play tight and not allow any big plays. Rimkus said it was a tough season in 2014, but they’re hoping to reap the rewards this year. “I think the biggest difference, honestly, is the kids. I’ve made a big push on the power and the responsibility of the senior class,” he said, adding that the coaches will guide the players, but he wants the Mustangs to take more ownership of the squad this time out. Playing 4A Kingco football is a bonus, as well, the coach said. “I’ve always wanted to be in this league because you get to play the best every week. It’s such a strong league and it’s so fun.” Wright says the Mustangs are strong physically and mentally, and he’s proud to be one of the
Redmond High quarterback Nick Swanson, far left, takes a snap last Friday. Courtesy of Marc LaPierre captains this season. He can’t wait to see what the Mustangs can accomplish on the field. “I take every play like it’s my last play. You never know when you have another chance,” said Wright, who noted that his dad and former college baseball player, Gerald Sr., has provided inspiration over the years. “He’s always taught me, don’t let people get in your head. It’s always gonna be rough, you just
gotta drive through it and come out.” As for Swanson, who stands 6-foot-3 in the pocket, he’s been trying to grow as a person and leader since last season and is raring to go this year. The right-hander noted that his role model is former University of Washington quarterback Jake Locker, who had a passion for the game that was infectious. Redmond’s coaches have also pushed Swanson to
raise his level of play and set high standards for himself. Thinking team-first, Swanson said the Mustangs are on the right track to tackle 4A Kingco football. “I think we’re far above where we were this time last season with reps and the accountability we have for each player stepping up in their role,” said Swanson, noting that speed and efficiency are keys to success. Rimkus said Swanson
has done a stellar job of preparing himself for this season through workouts and setting up summer leagues and camps. The coach feels the players trust Swanson to make the right decisions come game time. While the Mustangs are looking forward to tacking on some wins this season, Catanzaro wants this year to be just the start of Redmond building a legacy of success. And the players are fired up to make it happen, starting tonight. “People aren’t OK with being second string, people wanna step up and they wanna be that guy on the field on Friday nights. It’s awesome,” Catanzaro said. This year, 90 players attended team camp, a huge step up from the 60 guys who turned out three years ago. Rimkus likes who he sees playing in the greenand-gold uniforms and enjoys being a part of the Redmond football commu-
nity, which has supported him from day one. “The kids are enjoying it, the program is growing, and so whether we win or lose, there’s so many other ways you can measure success — although this year I’d like to win,” Rimkus said. “We don’t feel the defeat from the kids. They keep wanting to go and keep fighting, so you’ve gotta keep going.”

Who needs the clock to strike 10 when Cheap Trick is on the premises for a 6:30 p.m. kick off ? With their guitars at the ready, checkerboard amplifiers set to 11 and the Marymoor Park crowd ready to rock, it was go time way before any proper rocker’s bedtime. After animated Rick Nielsen strapped on the first of his many axes for the 18-song, supporting-slot gig on Aug. 28, Cheap Trick barreled into its traditional opener, “Hello There,” and literally didn’t stop for a breath until the follow-up gems “Come On, Come On” and “Big Eyes” wedged their way into the crowd’s ears. Then came the fervent “Lookout,” and the band was off and running all the way through to the closers “Surrender” and “Goodnight Now.” Mesmerizing vocalist Robin Zander still possesses his majestic voice and swagger after all these years,
bassist Tom Petersson defines cool with his snarl and jean jacket with the collar up, and Nielsen’s son Daxx holds down the backbeat with the might of a dozen sledgehammers. Daxx especially let loose on the 1979 “At Budokan” favorite “Ain’t That a Shame,” along with “I Want You to Want Me” and “Dream Police,” during which the crowd sang along with full force. “We are the one and only — with no substitutes — Cheap Trick,” Rick shouted to the crowd at one point during the energetic set, which featured the guitarist flicking copious picks to fans and giving the throng a thumbs up after nearly every song. His ace guitaristry was spot-on the whole time, and he even teased the crowd by starting and stopping the opening riff to “Stiff Competition” with a mischievous grin. Another highlight was Petersson’s bass solo on his 12-stringer prior to his raw [ more CONCERT page 13 ]

www.redmond-reporter.com [ CONCERT from page 12] vocal delivery on the Velvet Underground cover “I’m Waiting for the Man.” Fellow old-schooler Peter Frampton was up next in the headliner spot and the Englishman and his band launched into “Baby (Somethin’s Happening)”
off his third album from 1974. It was a fine start as fans waved their arms side to side and some people let balloons fly. Frampton clearly enjoyed the atmosphere and constantly smiled at the attendees. With dry ice hovering above the stage
and colorful lights aplenty, the music took on a life of its own and was a quality soundtrack to the moist evening. Frampton’s real crowdpleasers were the trio of hits off the double album “Frampton Comes Alive!” which snagged the No. 1 spot on the Billboard
charts in 1976: “Do You Feel Like We Do,” “Show Me the Way” and “Baby, I Love Your Way.” He explained that he penned the latter two numbers in the Bahamas in the mid-1970s. On the former two songs, Frampton utilized the talkbox guitar effect that wowed fans back in the day
and drew cheers from the Marymoor crowd. As a bonus, Frampton invited Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron on stage for a blistering part-instrumental, parttalkbox version of Soundgarden’s “Black Hole Sun.”
It was McCready’s second stint on stage that night as he also joined Cheap Trick on “Surrender” and “Goodnight Now.” To close the evening, Frampton encored with the Beatles’ “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” to send the crowd home satisfied.

[14] September 4, 2015 “I am very pleased with the Redmond Central Connector and the progress we have made on Downtown Park,” Larsen said about the accomplishments. “Both enhance the quality of life in Redmond, and ensure our downtown is a great place to live and visit.” He said while he has been with Redmond, they have been able to offer a “diverse recreation program which serves hundreds of thousands of participants each year, including a wide range of senior, teen and all-ages fitness, sports, learning and arts programs.” “Craig is a creative and energetic leader who has made a tremendous contribution to the city,” said Mayor John Marchione. “His efforts have made the city a better place to live and I am grateful for his contribution.” Marchione added that all of Larsen’s work in-
creased the quality of life in Redmond. “Under his leadership we designed and built the Redmond Central Connector, obtained Smith Woods for the new North Redmond neighborhood and revitalized Redmond Derby Days,” the mayor said.
TEAM LEADER
Despite being singled out for these achievements, Larsen credits his department for this programming. “Our park operations team is the best I have ever seen and we have been able to manage a wide variety of parks and facilities because of our high-quality staff and their efficient approach to the work,” he said. Larsen added that the people he has worked with in Redmond will be what he misses the most when he retires. Those who have worked under Larsen’s leadership have equally complimentary things to say about him.

Joshua Heim, cultural arts administrator for the city, said he came to Redmond specifically to work with Larsen because of his strong reputation for supporting the arts. Heim said since he has been with the city, he has watched Larsen create an environment that allowed the arts to thrive — encouraging innovation, putting his trust into the creative process and standing behind the artists. “I mean, who else goes to bat for an idea to cart five giant golden eggs throughout the streets of downtown Redmond?” Heim asked, referring to the interactive performances artist-inresidence Lucia Neare has put on during the last few years. “Craig did. And I’ll miss him dearly for that.” Heim is not the only person who joined the city to work with Larsen. Mark Hickok, recreation division manager for the city, met Larsen at a conference where

Larsen was presenting eight years ago and was very impressed. “When an opportunity came up to work with him, I jumped at the chance,” said Hickok, who came to work at the city in 2009. He said Larsen has been an “amazing leader, mentor and friend.”
CREATIVE BUSINESS
Prior to coming to Redmond, Larsen worked as planning director for King County for 24 years as planning director and parks and recreation director and four years at the City of Lynnwood as parks and recreation director. It was while he was working at the City of Lynnwood that he met Katie Anderson, who is now deputy director of the department in Redmond and will be acting director of the department until a new director is chosen early next year. “Craig has supported and encouraged my professional development

over the years and in particular has shown me the importance of being simple and clear when communicating with citizens, council and city employees,” she said. “It has been an honor to work with Craig.” Anderson said Larsen shared his vision for urban design, creativity, innovative and strategic thinking and “out-ofthe-box” ideas about parks, trails and recreation programs with the rest of the department. Ken Wong, teen programs administrator for Redmond, also praised Larsen’s creativity and innovation and his encouraging the same in others. “I have had the pleasure of working for Craig since he has been with the City of Redmond,” Wong said. “What I have appreciated the most from Craig is his caring to take the time to listen but also ask the tough questions. He loves to hear ideas but makes sure you flush
them out…A great leader allows his staff to fulfill the vision that he has created with them and Craig has been that visionary for the city.” Larsen describes parks and recreation as a “good news business and very entrepreneurial.” “We build and maintain beautiful places and provide programs and events that people want,” he said. “You get immediate feedback and a real sense of accomplishment when you get it right.” In the next 10 years, if Redmond stays on its current course, Larsen predicts the city will continue to be a center of innovation and creativity. “I am an architect, planner and a parks and recreation professional,” he said. “I believe in planning, designing and building the future you want. Important for me is quality urban design, a high quality and sustainable park and open space system and an investment in public art and events. “
the school because she wanted more academicbased childcare for her older daughter — who started kindergarten on Tuesday. She opened the school to give other families the same opportunities. Currently, Gupta’s school is at capacity and the students come from throughout her neighborhood, she said. In her former life, Gupta did her post-graduate work in computer science and taught the subject to middle schooland high school-aged students. When she and her husband first arrived in the United States, Gupta decided she wanted to work with a different age group so she earned her child development associate credential and went to work at the KinderCare daycare center in Factoria before opening Redmond Ridge Montessori. “It’s been going great,” she said.
For Gupta, contributing to society is just part of what it means to be an immigrant. As an immigrant, she said she does not agree with the anti-immigration rhetoric being discussed by politicians. Gupta said people who come to this country do well for the United States, using Satya Nadella — Microsoft’s Indian American CEO — as an example of an immigrant succeeding in the country. “It is a benefit for the country,” she said. Gupta said immigrants often bring the best parts of themselves and their home countries with them to the United States and that is a good thing. She said it is important to meet and learn from people who are different from you, adding that when she and her husband became naturalized citizens, they were among 52 individuals who came from 24 different countries.
