Hamilton named interim police chief Growth and failed BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

Kirkland Police Capt. Bill Hamilton, a 25-year veteran with the department, has assumed the position of interim police chief following the retirement of former police chief Eric Olsen. Hamilton will serve as interim chief for six months,

the time City Manager Kurt Triplett estimates it will take the city to fill the position. Hamilton will be working alongside other officers on the Police Strategic Plan, which will serve as a guide for the city and the department, much as the Fire

Strategic Plan does for the Fire Department. “Captain Hamilton has a long history of dedication to the department and the community,” Triplett said in a statement. “As the senior captain, he will provide continuity and

stability as the search to find a permanent chief begins.” First starting out as a police officer in New Jersey, Hamilton joined the Kirkland Police Department (KPD) in 1990 after visiting relatives. Unhappy with his department at the time, where he said there was a [ more KPD page 11 ]

Other bands at the three-day festival in Marina Park were The S-Bahn, Doppelbock, Happy Hans, Smilin’ Scandinavians and the Bavarian Biergarten Band. This year’s festival drew more than 10,000 people, nearly double the total from last year’s event. TJ MARTINELL, Kirkland Reporter

Parkplace redevelopment to be called Kirkland Urban BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

With the redevelopment of Kirkland Parkplace comes a new name that the owners believe better reflects the experience residents and shoppers will have there. Talon Private Capital, which is currently working with the city of Kirkland’s Design Review Board (DRB) on the conceptual design, has renamed the planned mixed-use property “Kirkland Urban,” with the retail section of the development called

“The Marketplace at Kirkland Urban.” They have yet to decide on a name for the residential section. Principal Owner Jim Neal said that they settled on the name after submitting a new master plan to the city last October once they realized it needed to have a separate brand to represent. “It’s a completely new development for the city of Kirkland,” he said. “It’s going to be the most urban development in the city, and we want to make sure everyone recognizes that.” During their next meet-

bond measures fuel school board races

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

assive student population growth and last year’s failed bond measures are playing a large role in the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors race that features two challengers from a district task force. Challenger Eric Laliberte is running against longtime incumbent Jackie Pendergrass representing District 1, while Rob Tepper is challenging District 2 incumbent Christopher Carlson. Incumbent Siri Bliesner, representing District 5, is running unopposed. Pendergrass, serving her fifth term on the board, said that her focus has been ensuring that there are a wide range of programs available for students, as well as choice schools with smaller classroom sizes. “In my 20 years on the board we’ve [started] a lot of…programs in individual schools, we have choices schools that are smaller and meet some students’ needs,” she said. “I’ve championed for those. While I think we’ve done a good job, there are probably others we aren’t reaching, and I’m looking to see how can we reach them.” Last year’s failed bond measure would have raised $750 million. It garnered a majority voter approval, but failed to get the required 60 percent to pass. At the same time, the school district has been the fastestgrowing district in King County during the past several years. Following the bond measure’s failure, the district has repurposed funds to make better use of existing facilities and redrawn district boundaries in order to accommodate

the student population, the latter of which initially drew criticism from certain communities. Pendergrass said the supermajority, needed to pass the bond, means the district has to have better outreach. “I think we learned from our bond failures. The tough thing is reaching 60 percent of voters when you have a lot of people in the community who don’t have kids in schools,” she said. “Voters have to understand the need and the costs and what would be the best thing to do… it’s working to really educate our voters. It would have been easier if it didn’t cost [so much], and when we surveyed afterwards that was one of the main reasons people put no. They didn’t want to pay more. And at a time, that was kind of the tendency [of voters], not just with us.” As for student growth, Pendergrass said that she believes the solution can be found in working with the community, as well as the district. “I still enjoy being a board member,” she said. “It’s interesting. I work with good people. It’s a good school district.” Laliberte said one of the reasons he has decided to enter the race is because he and his wife plan to start a family and wants the current problems dealt with before they get there. “By the time my kids are in the district, I’d like to have [the district] on the turn of getting fixed,” he said. A member of the Long Term Facilities Task Force, he said that his involvement on the committee has made it clear that new leadership at a district level is needed. “I feel like there is the [ more SCHOOLS page 6 ]

conceptual design conference in March. Lobsang Dargey, Potala’s owner, is being sued in federal court by the SEC for allegedly raising more than $125 million through sales of securities to at least 250 investors for Path America and the Potala Place development in Everett. The SEC recently filed a motion to appoint a receiver, Michael A. Grassmueck of the Grassmueck Group, over Potala Village Kirkland and other LLCs owned by Dargey, to “ensure Lobsang Dargey that their remaining assets are not dissipated or unnecessarily subject to loss in value during the pendency of this litigation.” “A receiver is necessary because it is imperative that a person other than Dargey make an informed decision about the projects that were begun with investor money and whether they can and should be completed as originally described,” the Sept. 22 motion states. The SEC complaint alleges that Dargey and Path America used the EB-5 system, which allows foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in a project that generates or preserves at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers to qualify for residency in the United States, to raise money from Chinese investors by encouraging them to invest in Potala Place and Potala Tower. However, instead he allegedly misappropriated $17.6 million, $14.7 million involving Potala Shoreline LLC and Potala Village Kirkland LLC, which are not eligible for the EB-5 visa program. Unless Dargey pulls out of the design review phase altogether, however, the legal complaints won’t affect the design review process. The proposed project would be a 138,434-square-foot, three-story building that would include approximately 7,000 square feet of ground floor retail space on the north and south corners of the building, as well as 58 residential units on the second and third floor.

KAN conducting parking survey The Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN) is asking for residents’ help to gather information about parking in different neighborhoods within Kirkland. KAN is performing a survey of all neighborhoods in Kirkland to identify parking use, issues and/or problems,

particularly issues that may arise with vehicles from outside neighborhoods. This information will help identify the causes and impacts of parking issues throughout the city and will be provided to the City Council. Depending upon what we learn from this survey, there will likely be a followup survey about solutions to issues that are identified in this initial survey.

The goal is to recommend a citywide policy addressing parking within residential neighborhoods. To take the survey go to https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KAN_Park1 The survey will remain open for two weeks. KAN will have the results on its agenda at its Nov. 11 meeting. To learn more about KAN, visit www.kirklandkan.org.

the demolition of 505 Parkplace Center where Todd’s Crab Cracker is located and the building across from the QFC, where an underground parking lot will be installed. Businesses will be moving out by Dec. 1, and some have already either closed or made the move to a new location. Three new buildings will then be constructed, two office and one residential featuring 190 apartment units. Each business will have their own storefront and, excluding the restaurants, the spaces range from 800-10,000 square feet. The underground parking lot will have 1,650 stalls, which Neal and Investment Director Bill Leedom said allows for more open space on the property than included in the original master plan. Talon expects the first phase to be completed by November 2018, at which point the next phase will begin as soon as businesses such as the QFC enter the newly-built office buildings. The Park Place Center building will remain with a marketing office inside through the first phase and be demolished as part of the final phase, which is expected to last around 14 months. With Phase 1 expected to begin early next year, Neal and Leedom said any impact on the local roads will be mitigated through a traffic management plan worked out with the city. Among other things, the plan will stipulate how many trucks will be allowed per hour and during what hours of the day. Neal and Leedom added that

the trucks will only go north on Central Way to reach Interstate 405 and will not go through downtown, and any concrete pouring will take place during the weekends. Once the entire project is completed, one of the buildings will include a 37,000-square-foot, eightscreen movie theater with residential units above. Kirkland Urban will also be divided into a park level, which is evenly grounded to the adjacent Peter Kirk Park, and the plaza level located above. A woonerf or “walking street,” similar to that on Park Lane, will run through the development. Among the amenities offered, once the redevelopment is finished, includes a 14,000-square-foot daycare center for 175 kids with an outdoor play area and a full service health club. The residential sections of Kirkland Urban will include townhouse-style units with access to roof decks, club rooms and bike storage, among other amenities. Neal and Leedom stated that while no business has signed a lease yet, they expect to have an announcement in several weeks and have been approached by Seattle-based businesses looking to expand on the Eastside. They also have verbal agreements with two current businesses at Parkplace.

GUEST COLUMN

Fines are mounting from McCleary decision

ines are mounting against the state for not having a plan to ensure public schools are adequately funded. When Gov. Jay Inslee meets with Democratic and Republican lawmakers on the matter Thursday, it will be 43 days since the Supreme Court imposed its sanction. At $100,000-a-day, that’s $4.3 million. Ka-ching! To recap, under the McCleary decision, lawmakers have until 2018 to find a way for the state to cover the tab of a basic education for students. They’ve earmarked billions of additional dollars in the budget for classroom supplies, all-day kindergarten and buses. But school districts still rely too heavily on local property tax dollars to operate and pay their teachers, principals and staff. The court wants such dependence to end. The chasm between the Democrat-controlled House and Republican-run Senate on the best way to do that could not be bridged in this year’s record-setting 176 days of session. So another hour of talking in a SeaTac hotel Thursday won’t

achieve an accord either. However, it may reveal how deeply individual lawmakers and the governor are digging in on their positions ahead of the 2016 session and ensuing election season when most of them, including Inslee, will be on the ballot and could face this issue. Democrats think the best way to break districts’ addiction to levies is with injections of dollars from a new capital gains tax. Republicans counter it would be better to make a swap – give districts more from the pot of state property tax

collections and direct them to seek less locally. Passing a new tax or swapping levies is a complicated and formidable political task. It’s taken 43 days to get the conversation going again. It could be another 100 days or maybe 400 before they figure something out. That would add up to some serious Ka-ching!

City asking too much with Prop. 1 I think proponents of Prop. 1 understate or don’t understand the impact of approving Prop. 1. A “yes” vote gives authority to the city to tax property at the rate of 75 cents per $1,000. This is not a vote about giving authority to tax property at just 25 cents per $1,000. Prop. 1 proponents use the word “expected” tax of 25 cents because that’s what politicians have told them they’ll do - but that’s quite different from what Kirkland voters are really being asked to do. We are being asked to grant authority to the city to tax property at a rate of 75 cents per $1,000.

Kenneth Kullberg, Kirkland

Kirkland City Council’s deception and Proposition 1 The City Council is engaging in trickery on Proposition 1 without full disclosure to Kirkland residents. The Washington constitution specifically protects taxpayers by requiring tax bonds to be approved by at least 60 percent of the voters. However, cities have the power to issue bonds to pay for a variety of projects, including buildings like an aquatic center, without having to put it to a vote of the citizens if there is already a revenue source in place to pay back the debt. Creation of a Metropolitan Park District only requires approval of just over 50 percent of the citizens. Once created, a Metropolitan Park District has the authority to levy a tax of up to 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of real and personal property without having to submit it to voters for approval. The Kirkland City Council has found a clever way to dodge the 60 percent approval requirement of a bond levy.

If it can sell just over 50 percent of Kirkland voters on its proposed new Metropolitan Park District, then it can establish a revenue source – at a rate of up to 75 cents per $1,000 – and issue bonds without having to convince 60 percent of the voters to approve them. What’s wrong with that if Kirkland residents want an ARC and the city has decided this is the best way to fund it? It is a permanent end run around the Washington state constitutional requirement that bonds be approved by 60 percent of the voters. It deprives the citizens of Kirkland of their voice in determining what is a reasonable project and appropriate related cost. Furthermore, it provides the city with an ongoing revenue source that allows the City Council to issue bonds to cover nearly any other park project of its choosing without obtaining voter approval. Keep your voice – vote “no” on Proposition 1.

Claudia Balducci for King County Council I am a lifelong Eastsider - born on Mercer Island, had my first job with the Eastside Journal in Kirkland, raised my children on Somerset, and now live in downtown Bellevue. The Eastside has changed considerably in six decades. During my 40 plus years in politics, media and government, I’ve seen lots of changes there, too. What the Eastside deserves now and has an opportunity to get is a representative in King County Council’s 6th District who grasps those changes and will champion Eastsiders and their future. I have worked with both candidates while in the King County executive’s office. At King County, Claudia Balducci served as the jail director and architect of a well-planned juvenile detention facility. She knows how King County works and will make it work for us. This, coupled with her

experience as Bellevue’s collaborative mayor, shows us what strong leadership looks like, getting the tough things hammered out, like Sound Transit and responsible budgets. Her connection to and understanding of the growing diverse Eastside is unsurpassed. Both women have served the community, but for our future, we need Claudia Balducci’s energy, abilities, enthusiasm, credibility and can-do attitude on the King County Council. It’s time for leadership. It’s time for a change.

Prop. 1 is a bad idea, ARC is good The Kirkland City Council wants us to approve a new taxing authority to pay for the ARC [Aquatics and Recreation Center]. Just a few years ago in 2012, they passed a recreation and road tax to cover their previous budget mismanagement mistakes at a time when their adopted budget showed there was enough money in the budget. More taxes were unnecessary. Now we’re being asked to pay taxes on top of taxes, a double jeopardy of tax increases in a short period of time. They ignored the mandated six year capital improvement budget they adopted in 2012. There’s a better way to finance the ARC without taxpayers having to pay double on what they’re already paying. The ARC is good. It can be done without Prop 1. Times are tough. Consider this: Next year, Social Security and Medicare payments will see double digit inflation, much more than our COLA increase of two percent or less. The Kirkland Council has increased their cost at an annual rate of 11 percent. The Fed’s are doing the same. Prop. 1 will create new a new unnecessary taxing authority that does not consider the reduction of taxpayers ability to [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

Robert L. Style, Kirkland

Sad to see Nykreim against the ARC It is sad to see that Mike Nykreim, our local Tim Eyman, is leading the charge against the Aquatic Resource Center (ARC). As a local developer, he has profited handily from the quality of our community, whether community resources (like the ARC would be) or the high quality public schools. So it is unconscionable that after successfully leading the opposition to a desperately needed school bond measure, he is now leading the effort to defeat Proposition 1. The letters to the editor from his team last week, asserting that the Metropolitan Parks District is somehow an unconstitutional method of raising local taxes, are exactly the sort of scare tactics that he used to sink the last school bond. Defeating a levy/bond/MPD can be achieved by simply sowing doubt in the minds of voters. Reading the text of the measure, I realized that I’m not qualified to determine whether it is constitutional or not. However, I’m in favor of a high quality, year round aquatics facility in our neighborhood, because kids learning to swim every summer and then forgetting how to swim over the winter is a recipe for tragedy. So I am still planning to vote in favor of Proposition 1. Let the lawyers argue over whether it is constitutional later. This November, Kirkland voters need to decide whether we want our children to be water-safe, or not, and we need to prevent the fear-mongers from sinking the ARC.

(MPD) as a funding mechanism for this public facility. The arguments against the ARC and/or the MPD don’t hold water. Some people, even when they acknowledge the obvious need for an indoor, year-round city pool, decry the plan to build the multi-use ARC. As envisioned, the ARC will include not just lap and recreational pools, but also a single-court gym, a fitness room, woodfloor studios, community spaces and other amenities. A clear example, some opponents claim, of overreach by the City Council and the Parks Department. The reality: the city did its research and learned that – unlike a pool-only design – such a multi-use facility will generate enough revenue to cover its ongoing operational costs. It goes without saying that the ARC will also cater to a much broader segment of Kirkland residents, from young to old, rather than to

only the large swimming and lesson community. On another front, many opponents object to the establishment of the MPD funding mechanism. Some people have a predictable “anti-any-tax” response, and others cite specific concerns about the MPD model. The latter group worries that the MPD gives the City Council too much leeway to raise property taxes, with too little accountability and too few constraints. The reality: Kirkland’s city councilors have shown that they are sincere public servants closely attuned and responsive to the needs and interests of their constituents. In proposing the ARC and the MPD funding mechanism – after many public meetings on these issues – the City Council is doing what it’s supposed to do. It is responding to a pressing community need in a fiscally responsible way, using

munity resource that will help our lakefront city teach thousands to swim, support year-round fitness and health activities, and become a gathering place for many civic meetings and events. The MPD model is the best and only realistic way to get the ARC built. Any MPDbased increase in property taxes – projected to be only $10/month or less for the av-

erage Kirkland homeowner – will be small compared to the city-wide appreciation in property values that will result from the creation of this signature community asset. Please join me in supporting Prop 1, and the ARC, on this November’s ballot.

If built, the proposed Kirkland Aquatics, Recreation and Community (ARC) Center will meet critical community needs and become a highly valued city asset. I strongly urge Kirkland residents to support this November’s Prop. 1 ballot issue, which will establish a Metropolitan Park District

a sustainable MPD funding model that has proven successful in many other Washington communities. Any city councilor who wants to be reelected isn’t going to cavalierly propose tax increases without good reason and broad community support. This November, Kirkland residents have the opportunity to create a com-

LWSF awards $300,000 to school district This year Lake Washington School District students will have online math support, be able to build robots, use negative space printers and learn digital photography and moviemaking – with funding provided by Lake Washington Schools Foundation. For the 2015-16 school year, the foundation granted the district $300,000 supporting district-wide initiatives and providing classroom tools that help all students succeed. “Lake Washington Schools Foundation is a key partner for the Lake Washington School District,” said Superintendent Dr. Traci Pierce. “They help us build pathways to student success by funding programs that would not be possible without their support.” Community financial support has enabled the foundation to continue to fund district-wide initiatives and programs that impact each of the district’s more than 27,000 students. For more information about specific grants and the programs funded by the Foundation, visit www. lwsf.org/programs. Community members interested in supporting student growth and success are encouraged to take part in the foundation’s fall campaign, ALL in for KIDS and help the Foundation reach its goal of raising $100,000 by Dec. 31.

sumption that the district voters would understand,” he said. “We were asking for three quarters of a billion dollars. It’s a big number. When we heard gasps in the room it should have been a wake up call.” Like Pendergrass, he also attributed well organized opposition in the community to the bond’s failure: “The con people managed to catch with us with the ‘when did you stop beating your wife?’ question,” he said. “We failed to counter them effectively.” While the district has tried to make do without new facilities, Carlson said the next time a bond is presented to the voters it will need to pass if they’re going to be able to take in any more growth. “Passing that bond is critical,” he said. “The most important thing for the district is to grow thoughtfully once we pass the bond. We got to deal with the overcrowding.” One major hurdle to getting a bond passed, he said, is the inability of the district or district board members to actually campaign for the bond. Tepper, a member of the Long Term Facilities Task Force along with Laliberte, said his experiences at numerous district meetings inspired him to ultimately run against Carlson. “I started leaving meetings more and more frustrated,” he said. The main source of frustration, he said, has been the overcrowding schools due to repeated bond failures, a problem he said other district have not had. “That’s one of the major issues I really feel like I need to be a part of,” he said. “I think they need

Kirland City Council candidate forum For the eighth consecutive year Holy Spirit Lutheran Church will host a Kirkland City Council candidate forum. The event will take place at 7 p.m. on Oct. 12 at the church, located at 10021 NE 124th St. in the Juanita neighborhood of Kirkland. All candidates for Kirkland City Council will be attending, including Jason

Chinchilla, Shelley Kloba, Toby Nixon, Dave Asher and Martin Morgan. The forum is expected to last approximately 90 minutes and will be moderated by former Kirkland mayor Mary-Alyce Burleigh. Candidates will be asked to answer questions during three different stages. The first stage will include questions prepared by the advocacy team of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, the group responsible for organizing the forum. The second stage will be a lightning round where

candidates will be asked to answer ten “yes” or “no” questions. The third stage will be questions written on note cards by audience members that will be read by the moderator. In past years the church’s advocacy team has organized forums on voter referendums and candidates for both the Kirkland City Council

and the 45th Legislative District. The advocacy team of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church was created to educate, encourage and enable church and community members to advocate their point of view to government leaders and elected officials.

I-405 FAQ What’s going on? The I-405 express toll lanes opened Sunday, replacing the carpool lane from the junction with I-5 in Lynnwood to Northeast Sixth Street in Bellevue. South of Highway 522, the state also added an additional lane for two express toll lanes. Did they take away any general purpose lanes? No. Do I have to pay to drive on I-405? Not necessarily. Only if you use a toll lane. How much are tolls? From 75 cents to $10, depending on traffic and distance traveled. The typical toll is expected to be 75 cents to $4. Vehicles without a Good To Go account pay $2 extra. How will I know? Signs show current toll rates for the three zones of

travel and list carpool requirements. The rate and the carpool requirements that are posted when you enter the lane reflect what you will pay, even if those figures change during your travel in the lane. When are they open? 24/7 Who can drive free? If you take transit, are part of a registered vanpool, ride a motorcycle or meet carpool requirements. A transponder is needed in each case. What’s new for carpools? Carpools must have a Good To Go account, a Flex Pass switched to “HOV” mode and carry at least three people during peak periods (or at least two people all other times). Peak periods are 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. weekdays. What about visitors? The state will send them a bill in the mail (toll plus $2). Or, you can temporarily add them to your account. How much is a pass?

The most expensive is the $15 Flex Pass that switches between “HOV” and “TOLL” modes. What else do I have to pay? It costs $30 to open a Good To Go account. With a credit or debit card, the account automatically refills to $30 when you hit an $8 minimum balance. Do I need to sign up? No. You can do absolutely nothing and still drive in the toll lanes. You’ll get a bill for the toll, plus $2. Do I really need a pass? No. You can set up a payby-plate account. You pay the toll, plus 25 cents.

strong disconnect with the community, he noted the contrast with the KPD while doing a ride-along. “It was everything I believed a police department should be,” he said. “I was impressed at how much the police officer interacted with the community. He was professional, very service-driven. It reminded me why I got into this. This is who I want to be. That’s never changed. I’ve never worked with a better group of people. They’ve never lost their sense of service to the community.” Since 1990, Hamilton has also served as a patrol officer, detective, sergeant, lieutenant and captain. As a detective in the early 1990s, he was a member of the KPD’s gang unit, which investigated gang-related crimes such as drive-by shootings and stolen-gun sales. “As you wade through policing, the roles may change, but the mission doesn’t,” he said. “As you go from officer to detective to sergeant and lieutenant, my role basically as a captain and interim chief is to maintain a culture that’s committed to quality service to the community and has a duty to keep the people safe.” Whereas gang activity plagued the city in the 1990s, recently the city has seen an increase in auto-related

thefts and residential burglaries, Hamilton said. “We’re doing everything we can to proactively tackle that,” he said. “One of our challenges is to find ways to correctly mitigate and reduce property crimes.” Hamilton has been acting as the operations captain since 2009, which oversees the patrol, traffic and K-9 units and emergency management. Prior to this, he managed the Administrative Services Division, managing Kirkland’s municipal jail, the 9-1-1 dispatch center and Records and Training units. “I think at every level in the organization there are challenging roles,” he said. “The complexity changes, but I think the hardest part of policing is dealing with crimes against the helpless children, the elderly. I think the most difficult part of this job is being a service to people who’ve been victimized and remembering part of your duty is to give these people a voice that’s been taken away.” Hamilton has also been assigned to various specialty teams, including the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force, SWAT, Dive Team, Gang Unit and the Crisis Negotiations Team. “Every leader should have a strong basis of knowledge of what they are asking

Capt. Bill Hamilton has been appointed interim Kirkland police chief while the city conducts a search for permanent chief. Contributed others to do,” he said, “but I think the thing I’ve learned over the years is the job of the police is to create a feeling of safety, because we’re also dealing with people and their lives and we need to treat people with empathy, with humility. I believe police officers need to be selfless in their actions.” Hamilton was also part of the subcommittee that looked into switching the department’s work schedule, as well as the latest labor contract negotiations with the city that finalized the schedule. Under the previous schedule, officers would work 12-hour shifts four days a week, two shifts during the day and two night shifts. The new schedule has

them working 10-hour shifts four days a week and during the same part of the day. The new schedule will be implemented in February 2016. “It was probably the worst combination,” he said. “It was one of the worst schedules a person could work. The whole point of the schedule was to provide a healthier schedule for the officers to work.” Now, Hamilton is working on the planning commission for the Police Strategic Plan, which was approved in the city’s 2013-2014 budget, but got pushed back to the 2015-2016 budget until after the Kirkland Justice Center was completed. The department was previously located at City Hall near downtown,

but made the move to the Justice Center shortly after its completion late last year. In addition to more space to operate in, Hamilton said the new facility gives them a more centralized location from which to operate throughout the city. “It reflects the quality of people who work there,” he said. “I think it’s led to more efficiency and effectiveness.” The strategic plan provides recommendations to the department and the city on how to respond to the police service needs in the city. It also provides policies on the use of new technology and how to respond to different crimes more common in some neighborhoods than others. The city will be hiring a consultant for it this month. “Too often police departments focus on what they believe is best based on their experience,” Hamilton said, “but it should reflect what the community thinks is best for the community. It’s so much more than strictly enforcement.” Another goal Hamilton said they’re looking to accomplish is creating a department more reflective of the communities where they operate. “It’s important for any organization to reflect the people they serve, and that is a focus on hiring right now,”

he said. “There is nationwide attention to a divide between police departments and their community. I think we have incredible support of our community. It’s well earned, but it’s a fragile relationship. We have to work hard to not be disassociated with our community.” Hamilton has the support of many in the city. “Captain Hamilton has a deep understanding of how policing affects people and this quality has served him well as a captain and will continue to do the same as he serves as interim chief,” Deputy Mayor and Chair of the Public Safety Committee Penny Sweet said. “I am confident of his abilities and look forward to working with him on the Police Strategic Plan.” Hamilton is a graduate of the Northwestern University of School of Police Staff and Command and the FBIsponsored Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar at Quantico, Va. He is a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs. The KPD has 99 sworn officers and 36 support personnel.

had moved out to Washington to be a part of the war effort. In Washington, Elaine became one of the many women at the time to work as a riveter for Boeing. She described this job as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;putting a plane together.â&#x20AC;? Elaine has detailed memories of working for Boeing, include her assigned number, â&#x20AC;&#x153;1313.â&#x20AC;? It was at Boeing that Elaine met her first husband, Lester Hudlow. Lester did many things at Boeing, including working as an occasional riveter where he got to spend time with Elaine. After working in Washington for a couple of years, Elaine decided to quit and travel to Denver in order to spend time with her brother. After about six weeks, Elaine came back to

the interview, I had little background information. I knew her house sat on a grassy lot and had a cement path leading from her front porch to a mellow street in West of Market, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just about it. Elaine gladly welcomed me into her home, and we sat on a pair of identical upholstered rocking chairs. Elaine began by telling me about her life in Minnesota, her brief job there after she finished high school and about World War II breaking out in 1941.

With the war over, the men were sent back to work and the women were sent home. Lester was rehired, but Elaine decided to do something else. She began working at Pier 91 in Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s navy yards. She worked in a large cafeteria where the ships came in.

barely turn around in their tiny kitchen. Unhappy with their small living conditions, they soon moved to the housing projects in Everett. However, this was far from Lesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work and they ended up moving back to Seattle in 1947 to live in another small house. There, Elaine and Lester had their first child, a little girl named Karmen. When Karmen was three years old, Elaine and Lester began looking for a bigger house. They heard from a friend, whom they had met through Boeing, that a house was being built in Kirkland and they should have a look. Sure enough, in August of 1950, the Hudlow family moved into the small Kirkland home where Elaine still lives today. Between moving from her home in Minnesota, supporting the war effort from the home front and starting her own family, Elaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young adulthood was filled with fun tales and memories, as well as some difficulties and hardships. As Elaine begins a new chapter of her life, she experiences a lot of change. Next week I will tell you all about what comes next in Elaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring story.
