Kirkland’s Parkplace Cinema to close with Last Picture Show

BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

O

n Monday, the Parkplace Cinema will feature its final film, appropriately titled “Last Picture Show,” before closing as the property is on the cusp of redevelopment.

Jeff Cole, who manages Parkplace and who has been involved with the

independent theater since 2001, said they tried to find a way to keep it open once Talon Capital announced their plans to redevelopment Parkplace, including the theater, but decided it was time to close.

“At my age I’m not willing to move forward when there’s too much risk, too much capital,” he said. “I think it’ll be a good time

for the community to come and say goodbye to the theater.”

However, he said that they’re trying to get one of the digital projectors, owned by a separate leasing company, in the Kirkland Performance Center to show for smaller films.

“I’m working on that but don’t know if I’ll be successful,” he said.

Although an agreement hasn’t been reached, Cole said that so far the discussion has been positive.

“Everybody seems in agreement,” he said.

First a Sterling Realty Organization theater in 1983, it later became a Loews Cineplex until 2001 when Loews went bankrupt and repudiated the lease. The former owner

of Parkplace asked Cole to figure out what to do with the space, and he concluded that Kirkland still needed a theater. They bought Loews’ assets and opened it as an independent movie theater right in time for the first Harry Potter film.

Prior to this, Cole said, he had never run a theater before. One of the many things he discovered from

the experience was navigating the world of studio contracts, negotiating 27 of them prior to the theater’s opening. Right now, they have around 36.

“It’s a fun little business,” he said. “I didn’t know anything about the business, but it was fun.”

This week’s…

ALERT

Police Blotter The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.

Between Dec. 23 and Jan. 1, there were traffic incidents, traffic accidents, three DUIs, 13 general traffic incidents, 33 alarm calls, 10 abandoned vehicles, four burglaries, five incidents of fraud, eight civil incidents, one case of harassment, 22 thefts, vehicle prowls, one vehicle theft,

15 warrants served, eight noise complaints, three animal calls, eight incidents of domestic violence, five incidents of malicious mischief, two fireworks complaints, homicide, seven disturbances, two trespasses, one sex crime, four assaults, 19 incidents involving at least one arrest.

Dec. 28 Assault: 5:30 a.m., 12200 block of NE 147th Pl. A 26-year-old man got into an argument with his girlfriend over who would care for an undisclosed individual. Both were drunk, and the argument escalated to the point where he punched her several times in the face and head, leaving significant marks.

He was arrested for assault.

added. “Ideas are cheap.

One of them I had in late 2006 was around cloud computing.”

At the time, the concept of cloud computing was in its infancy, and while it offered great opportunity, he said that it also posed numerous challenges for selling the product.

“People really didn’t trust storing data in the cloud,” he said. “Back at that day there wasn’t a lot of the backup services that we have today.”

This also prevented him from securing venture capital for the company.

“Nobody understood file sharing,” he said. “Timing really is everything, because the market’s not ready no matter how good your product is.”

Forced to fund it entirely on his own, he said he liquidated all his assets and took out a second mortgage to create a datacenter, including a quarter of a million lines of code.

Still at Microsoft, he said he finally came up with MigrationWiz, which moves data from one cloud provider to another and from an on-premise solution to the cloud. At the time, the migrations were done manually, but now the process has been streamlined and no longer requires downtime for the client. Opening up an office in Redmond TownCenter in 2010, the company’s internal growth exploded after they moved back to Kirkland. In

2014, BitTitan’s employees tripled to 77, and now the company has reached 100.

In the last year, 2.35 million users moved to the cloud, a 290 percent increase.

Yip said having it be a bootstrap-operated company has taught him how to run a company and think creatively.

“It’s really built the culture we have today,” he said.

“It really is the foundation of our culture, of who we are. We work together, it doesn’t matter what it takes to get the job done.”

However, being bootstrapped meant it’s also constrained them in terms of hiring.

“When you’re bootstrapped I can’t afford to make everyone a VP,” he said. “I had to hire new people to the industry, and it was tough because as manager I take the role very seriously. It’s about mentoring people and helping them. Unfortunately, we just can’t hire managers and over time we’ve really tried to balance that out.”

The biggest challenge

Dec. 27 Trespass: 8 a.m., 12400 block of 116th Ave NE. A 42-year-old female was arrested for trespassing at the Totem Lake Burger King after having been issued and signed a trespass letter from the establishment less than five minutes prior.

Dec. 24 Theft: 12:50 p.m., 10600 block of NE 68th St. A 22-year-old man was stopped by an officer after he left Metropolitan Marker with a bag of unpaid groceries. He was caught later down the street and identified through a field show-up, then arrested for theft, booked and released.

facing them right now, Yip said, is being able to grow fast enough to catch up with the growing demand for their services.

“We already have a vision for five years set out for what our roadmap looks like,” he said. “We know we have a long future ahead of us. I think from a product perspective, the challenge is really people.

We’ve really been growing our team, but we can’t even take the money in front of us fast enough into the company. We can’t collect money fast enough because we don’t have enough people to collect it.

I’m unable to bring in the revenue right in front of us, the lowest hanging fruit. I have people willing to give us money that I can’t even collect.”

While he’s looking to hire talent, he said the people have to be right for the company.

“I need people to innovate so we can continue to grow,” he said. “We want to be true to ourselves of why we started the company.”

tan, which relies on no venture capital, he said.

“I think of tomorrow.

I think of what’s going to happen three to five years from now,” he said. “Your mentality begins to shift.

From a finance side, it’s very surprising. A lot of people I talk to think it’s amazing to grow into a business of our size with a finance department with no VP of finance in the company. We literally have two people on our finance staff, and I did all the finance up until that point. It’s a huge burden for finance. When you spend $20 million and there’s no funding, it’s a very stressful job.”

Even as the company grows, Yip said he is determined to maintain a closeknit company culture, one of the things that inspired him to create the company in the first place. A Microsoft employee at the time, he said he initially worked on a small team and established strong relationships with his coworkers, but as the years passed that feeling was lost. During a vacation in 2006, he said he was determined to get it back.

“You really think about what you want in life and that’s what I wanted,” he said. “I set forward to find or create a company that could get that back for me again. Life is just too short to me. I didn’t know what technology or what I was going to do.”

The city of Kirkland is hosting a second community update on high capacity transit candidate projects that are being considered

by Sound Transit as part of the ST3 ballot measure.

The city’s public event will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Jan. 11 at the Lake Washington Institute of Technology, 11605 132nd Ave. NE, Room W404. Sound Transit officials will present basic information regarding three candidate projects (PDF) that propose high capacity transit to serve Kirkland: • Candidate Project E-02/ Bus Rapid Transit on I-405 in the Express Toll Lane from Lynnwood to Renton • Candidate Project E-03/ Light Rail Transit along the Eastside Rail Corridor from Kirkland/Totem Lake to Issaquah via Bellevue; and • Candidate Project E-06/ Bus Rapid Transit on the Eastside Rail Corridor from Kirkland to Bellevue.

City officials will share their analysis of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) proposal on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (Candidate Project E-06.)

The informational presentation will be given at 6:30 to 7:30 and repeated from 7:45 to 8:45 p.m. City and Sound Transit staff will be available to answer questions in Room W401 throughout the event.

The city is analyzing how high capacity transit could be designed to address

concerns expressed by the Kirkland community such as access to the CKC, safety, noise, protecting sensitive areas and ensuring safety on the CKC. The city also analyzed how BRT on I-405 could be designed to address basic access issues. General findings will be presented during the two informational presentations. Sound Transit’s analysis of all of the candidate ST3 projects can be found at www.soundtransit3.org and select “Shaping ST3.”

On Dec. 4, 2015, Sound Transit released its analysis and project templates for each ST3 Candidate Project and is seeking technical input from the City of Kirkland regarding the three candidate projects located in Kirkland by Jan. 21. The Kirkland City Council will be discussing its response letter to Sound Transit at its Jan. 5 and Jan. 19 regular meetings.

For background on the city’s outreach efforts, go to www.kirklandwa.gov/ST3.

For specific questions, please email ST3questions@kirklandwa.gov or contact the Public Works Department at 425-587-3800.

Through March 2016, Sound Transit will continue to develop its Draft System Plan and will initiate a public involvement process in April 2016. The Sound Transit Board of Directors will approve the Final System Plan in June 2016 that will be presented to regional voters in the November 2016 General Election.

REPORTER NOTES

When it comes to snow, we’re not that bad on the roads

L

ast weekend the Eastside got a small taste of the snowfall Snoqualmie and Stevens Pass (are supposed to) normally get during the winter and where I enjoyed a little R&R. As I was treading through the snow, I thought of a few years back when the Seattle area got hit with a large snowstorm, which was quickly dubbed “snowpocalpse.” I contrasted this with snowstorms I experienced at college near Spokane. The differences between the regions when it snows is like night and day.

When it snows a few inches here, schools close and most people stay off the roads.

When it snows up to your neck on the east side of the state, you get up and move through the trenches created by the snow plows and get to class.

We on the Eastside, and the Seattle area as a whole, often get a bad rep for not being able to handle our snow when it comes to driving, something I hear when I either run into an outof-towner or when I’m the out-of-towner. As I explain to them, they’re comparing apples to door hinges.

To start off, snow is not common here. It rains. We can handle that fairly well. If snow was as predictable during the winter as rain, there wouldn’t be so many inexperienced drivers, we’d all buy snow tires and the local jurisdictions

would act, not react, to the snow.

Something that gets left out of the discussion is that it’s not just the snow; it’s the ice. Here, it either rains first or snows a little, melts when the temperature rises for a while, and then turns into ice with snow on top of it.

Also, we have these things called hills. Lots of them. It’s easy to drive across straight, flat terrain. Driving down an ice-covered road with a respectably high percent grade (slope) is about as smart as standing up on a saucer sled. It’s also just as difficult driving up that hill. I’ve had to do both, but I’ve also had to put chains on my tires during a snowstorm, and if I can avoid having to do any one of those again I’ll die happy.

Additionally, it’s not the same snow. A square

foot of Puget Sound snow is like carrying a brick, and it’s wet. In college it was like shoveling leaves and was as dry as powdered sugar. If you’re driving a vehicle designed to handle it, it’s not important. For a regular car, the difference can be felt when applying the brakes.

I’m not saying there aren’t bad drivers on our roads. I encounter them every day when they try to merge onto Interstate-405. There are also drivers who can’t seem to handle any snow whatsoever on the roads.

I’m just saying we’re not as bad as we’re made out to be.

Kiwanis Club of Kirkland tree lot a huge success The Kirkland community and surrounding neighborhoods came through once again this year in its support of the Kiwanis Club of Kirkland’s Christmas Tree Lot. The lot opened the day after Thanksgiving and officially sold its last tree on Dec. 15. The Kiwanis Club is grateful to the community for the loyalty and support it has shown over the years.

The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland is one of the oldest and largest service organizations in Kirkland with close to 100 members. All proceeds from the fundraising go directly to children and families in need, including student scholarships, Attain Housing, Eastside Baby Corner and many other charitable causes. The club also sponsors leadership groups in our local junior and high schools, known as Builder’s Club and Key Club, as well as support to the YMCA Kirkland Teen Union Building. These groups offer leadership and mentoring, impacting hundreds of teens in your community.

If you would like more information about this all volunteer non-profit organization, please contact club secretary Matt Gregory at (425) 828-0231, attend one of its weekly meetings at noon at Hector’s Restaurant or visit www.kirkland.kiwanis. org. Merry Christmas and Happy New year to our Kirkland Community and thanks again for all your support!

Bonni Sundberg, Kiwanis Club of Kirkland

Reject buses on the CKC I would like some explanation of how the former Burlington Northern rail line, now known

as the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC), is being considered as a commuter bus line.

For decades this former rail line was used for freight only. Historically, the line was used sparingly. Since moving to Houghton in 1986 I have experienced freight trains of no more than 20 cars, usually more like five to 10 cars, passing a few times a week at very low speeds. It’s my understanding that the city of Kirkland had imposed a speed limit on those trains of less than 20 miles per hour within the city limits.

For several years the dinner train ran along the corridor from Renton to Woodinville. It would pass by once a day during the week and twice a day on weekends. Again, at very low speed.

How can we go from very infrequent and slow moving freight trains to a walking and biking trail and then suddenly to an open highway for commuter buses? The proposed Rapid Ride bus, I assume, will travel at a much higher speed than the freight trains ever did and at a frequency of every few minutes.

This seems to me to be a change in land use.

How can the city make this proposal to Sound Transit without first going through a public process? I know of no public hearings (though there have been some informational presentations) on this matter and I am not aware of an EIS having been done.

City officials and council members have said that this corridor has always been considered a motorized commuter transportation option and the Rapid Ride bus proposal should be of no surprise to anyone. I am not sure how that can happen. Just because Sound Transit included some arbitrary self serving easement reservation on

a deed to the city of Kirkland, can the corridor now be used for any mode of transportation they please? By some magic wave of a pen by the city planning department this corridor is now designated for high volume commuter bus traffic?

I thought this was a rail line. Not a highway for buses.

Approving buses on the CKC seems to me to be a little bit like allowing a 20 unit apartment building on a lot zoned multifamily but that has previously only been improved with a four-plex.

In either case, there is a significant negative impact on the neighborhood. The neighborhood deserves an opportunity to participate in this process. Most users of the trail that I have talked with view the proposed bus use on the CKC as being imposed upon us with little or no participation in the process. I have heard some in authority on this matter state that this is nearly a done deal.

I would like to encourage Sound Transit, the city of Kirkland and Kirkland City Council to reject the proposed use of Rapid Ride buses on the CKC.

Rich Jones, Kirkland

I do not support transit on Cross Kirkland Corridor I would like add my voice to those opposing the addition of rapid transit of any kind to the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). As was done with the Burke-Gillman Trail, lets leave this trail for non-motorized use but add rapid transit to the existing I-405 corridor. I am very disappointed that the Kirkland City Council is pushing to add rapid transit to [ more LETTERS page 9 ]

Most recently he served as chief operating officer of the College Success Foundation. He also served as the executive director of Washington State Mentors and as CEO of their national office, the National Mentoring Partnership in Washington, DC. “I grew up in the Lake Washington School District and my kids are students here,” Wright said.

The event drew about 200 participants into the water and many more friends and family who came for moral support.

The participants came from all over the area and ranged from elementary school age to the those in their 70s. But the views at Marina Park pulled many to the Kirkland event despite other plunge events in the area.

Erin Lavery of Edmonds attended the event with her two young children, Madeline, 5, and Dillinger, 2, and family.

Both kids even dressed up for the costume contest and Dillinger won the event dressed as Spiderman. Lavery said that her kids were not participating the plunge because “it would be a total meltdown.”

“We wanted to get out and do something with the kids and family,” Lavery said.

very year, we celebrate Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to honor the people we love and reflect back on the memories we’ve made with them. But as our loved ones age, adult children may want to also consider setting aside time to have a family money conversation.

Why? The simple fact is that at some point, mom or dad may need help organizing and/or managing their finances.

Sharing important information with one another today may help you and your family be prepared when the time comes that you or a sibling needs to step in to lend a hand.

Important topics to consider in such a conversation include insurance, creating an inventory of your parents’ assets and liabilities, ensuring your parents have enough money to provide

for their retirement, establishing your parents’ wishes regarding passing on their wealth in the event of their death, and more.

Talking about money, potential health considerations and other “private matters” may sometimes seem awkward and having these kinds of conversations as a family can be challenging. But doing so today helps to ensure everyone is on the same page, making it easier for your family down the road.

To help navigate those potentially difficult areas, here are a few tips for meaningful family money conversations: • Communicate your desire to help one another prepare to transition responsibilities.

• Discuss your feelings and needs regarding changing roles.

• Understand parental

circumstances, needs and values regarding money.

• Consider parental health care, end of life and financial legacy wishes.

• Seek to align children’s strengths with future duties.

• Identify professionals who may be able to provide assistance, as necessary.

• Commit to periodically revisiting the conversation to see if anything has changed.

For assistance or advice, contact a financial professional. They can help your family both before and after these important conversations.

Medical Teams International’s Pinneo meets Syrian refugees during journey to Greece, Lebanon

BY ANDY NYSTROM

anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

Jeff Pinneo experienced an up-close glimpse into what Syrian refugees are going through in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley and the Greek islands of Chios and Samos.

The Medical Teams International (MTI) president and CEO recently returned from an eye-opening and heart-wrenching one-week journey to gain firsthand insight into the work that his charitable organization and its partners are doing in response to the refugee crisis.

Based in Portland with its Western Washington headquarters in Redmond, MTI is a global relief and development organization serving people affected by disaster, conflict and poverty around the world.

MTI predominantly raises money for medicine and health products with long-established partners to distribute to refugees.

At the end of November, MTI mailed 10,000 care kits — many of which were assembled in a Redmond warehouse — to Lebanon, Greece and other countries.

Lebanon

two years. Health workers — including a dentist who is a Syrian refugee — try to make twice-monthly visits to the 40 different refugee settlements that MTI focuses on in Zahle.

Pinneo described the MTI-focused settlements as a loosely planned series of structures that are tied into a power grid with open power boxes to create some electricity. In harsh weather, the refugees are exposed to bacterial waterborne diseases and must deal with other health issues.

“Nothing’s guaranteed at all. They’re so resourceful in terms of gathering, garnering support on just basic food and water,” said Pinneo, who noted that in at least one camp, children were attending school. “So they’re able to keep some semblance of normalcy going for some of the kids.”

Pinneo said that his conversations with some of the refugee families were often tear-filled.

One 23-year-old woman was just entering her fourth year of university in com-

puter engineering on the day her seven-member family had to flee from Syria.

The neighbors two houses down had been kidnapped and a school was bombed: They had to pack what they could carry and get out post haste.

“The future that she was that close to reaching, was taken from her. And to talk to her about that was really humbling for me, ‘cause I had this presumption that her giving up her future would be like the biggest grief. But her tears came when she talked about her brother in Sweden, worried about him and just worried about his future and their future together,” said Pinneo, adding that the brother made his way to Sweden with family money — partly from the sale of their 300 head of sheep in Syria — to find a place to live, finish his education, find a job and save enough money to bring the rest of his family there.

The family lives in a settlement they made for themselves, adjacent to a potato field where they work.

For the last four years — since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war and the first wave of refugees that fled their homeland — MTI has focused its work in Lebanon, which now has 1.2 million Syrian refugees.

“The level of vulnerability there we deemed much higher and so we focused our efforts there,” said Pinneo, who was accompanied on his trip by a videographer.

MTI now has an 11-person staff, which includes a doctor, a dentist and other community health professionals who have been there for about a year and half or

COURTESY PHOTO Pinneo said the 23-yearold stoically told him that she hasn’t lost hope, and “she offered that in a way of encouragement to other 20-somethings around the world.”

Greece In Greece, MTI has a long partnership with two agencies — International Orthodox Christian Charities and Apostoli — and has sent containers with medicines and health products to them to distribute there.

“With the emergence of this (refugee crisis), they went right into action,” Pinneo said.

With Greece being the first port of entry to the European union and months and months of red tape to cut through to enter legally, thousands of people are contacting black marketeers to arrange illegal crossings from Turkey on the Aegean Sea. After a four-nauticalmile trip to the eastern Greek islands, they hit the shore and begin the process of registering with the United Nations (UN) and applying to move deeper into Europe.

“It’s a very risky crossing, depending on weather and circumstance and all that, but mostly it’s one that is facilitated by human traffickers, profiteers,” Pinneo said. “They’re charging on average about $1,200 to $1,500 a person. And they’re doing it by supplying rubber rafts with outboard motors and lifejackets, piling everybody in and then appointing somebody, just say, ‘You steer it over there and take it over across the island.’

So hundreds of drownings have occurred since the little boy that washed up on the shores in Greece that brought the world’s attention.”

Pinneo shakes his head in disbelief when he told of seeing the beaches littered with lifejackets and popped rafts, and families drying their clothes by draping them across boats. The living conditions in camps are rough while they’re waiting to move along on their journey.

“The interviews with the people were the most poignant. For them, this was their first landfall on (European) soil,” Pinneo said.

“As difficult as everything had been to that point, as traumatized as they were, there was a hopefulness now that they were there, so that was really wonderful.”

One mother, son, aunt and sister had a difficult crossing and were looking forward to being reunited with the father, who was already ahead in Germany.

Pinneo said that from his observations, there was adequate security for the refugees in Lebanon and Greece.

If an uprising broke out in Lebanon, armed forces or intelligence support would be called on site.

MTI checks in many times a day with the two organizations as they go about their work. In Greece, the UN in conjunction with Greek authorities are on hand if tensions flare up.

Pinneo felt safe on his journey and said they make a sophisticated assessment of the situation and adhere to security protocols and are attentive to allowed routings.

“I came back inspired to form a trip of concerned and connected donors who, on fairly short notice, could carve out a week to do what I just did. To go back with me, and to come back more deeply informed, go to their Bellevue rotaries and be able to talk to others about it, to generate more support for the effort,” Pinneo said.

“This is a work where you don’t have to manufacture any motivation for need,” he added. “So many people (are) counting on us to get it right every day, and I’m just so proud of the way our team is all motivated by that. Our faith inspires us to show up and they show up very, very well.”

Obituary Deann Holtzman Fox Deann Holtzman Fox, 44, passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 24 at home in Kirkland of an undiagnosed illness.

She was a Christian, a devoted wife, an adoring aunt to Hannah Holtzman and Andrew Fox, a sweet, smart, funny lady with a multitude of friends.

She was a proud Godmother to Brayden, Ryan, Megan, Jack and Andrew. She had been a caring nanny for several families since moving to the Northwest.

Deann’s survivors include her husband Patrick Fox, mother Victoria Peters, brother Chris Holtzman, cat Josie and many extended family she felt blessed to have in her life. She was preceded in death by her father John Holtzman and nephew Alex Holtzman.

Deann was born in California in 1971; she was a passionate 49ers fan who also cheered for the Seahawks. We will always miss her, but hold her in our hearts.

Amazed how transparency in government is executed

I’m all for this transparency in government thing – great idea. But I shake my head in amazement at how it’s sometimes executed.

Now I know that Kirkland City Council and Sound Transit mean well.

They are attempting to deal with the tremendous backlash of citizens against transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. It belongs on I-405 by the way, and ST’s own numbers actually support this finding.

Back to shaking my head in amazement‌ so the city is getting details back from the $250,000 marketing study to support their point of view. They want to roll this out like a shiny new car (or maybe even super high tech, non-polluting, electric bus) to the public.

So they schedule a meeting on Jan. 11 at Lake Washington Institute of Technology.

Nothing wrong with that‌ It’s part of their “public outreach.â€?

Here’s where this all gets a little fishy. I imagine back-to-back presentations were scheduled, as if it’s anything like the last “public outreach� meeting, there will be overflow crowds. If you look closely however, the presentations are in room W404, but if you have questions or, heaven forbid, want to debate the findings, you’ll need to get up and move oneself to Room W401 where, according to the city’s press release “Sound Transit and city staff will be available throughout the event to answer questions.� If this isn’t stifling public comment and discussion, I don’t know what is. I guess the city and ST bristle at the idea that the citizens of Kirkland may want to share opinions with one another, within a group setting, and frankly be able to hear responses from our elected and appointed representatives. Isn’t this what a community meeting is all about? Rather, it appears that all opinions need to be taken “offline� and outside of a group setting.

I would hope that the city and Sound Transit will reconsider the idea and con-

cept behind this supposed “community meeting� and provide the citizens (and voters) of Kirkland the opportunity for open public discussion of this very serious issue being placed (or pushed) upon us.

Gary Greenberg, Kirkland

Transit should last 100-plus years, not 15 I do not support bus rapid transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor.

There are many safety concerns with buses on the CKC; it is near many parks and schools, it’s used by many school kids and lastly, it connects neighborhoods and has a lot of pedestrian cross traffic.

It’s time to think about improving the greater Seattle metro area with mass transit that will last the next 100-plus years not 15 years.

Seattle is no longer the city that I grew up in and is rapidly become the next great international city. Buses are not the solution but a temporary patch, voters have said this for years. Look to New York, London, Paris, San Francisco and other great international cities which use underground or over-ground rail solutions.

But please use underground rail, keep suburbia beautiful.

Lastly, too often I see empty buses shuttling around the arterial streets of the Eastside, this must stop.

The only buses that I see full are shuttles to the Seahawks, Husky or Sounder games.

I will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the CKC. I will consider transit use on CKC if it remains subterranean. Think about our children the world that their children will have to live in.

Jonathan Gibson, Kirkland

County?

Nah, you’re right: rational thoughts and expectations will likely remain elusive.

The December 2016 wrapup will likely feature clips from ST3 town hall meetings: “Light the torches.

Sound the alarm! Protect ‘our’ trail from evil electric buses and dangerous light rail.�

Roger Clarke Johnson, Kirkland

Rapid Transit on the CKC is We need rational thought unconscionable I do not support bus in trail debate rapid transit on the Cross Congratulations, TJ, on an excellent wrap-up article.

Makes me wonder what the similar article will say next December.

Will the malls be mired in Kirkland process and harried by residents who remember (or invent, from whole cloth) what Kirkland used to be like? Will the rabid homeowners of Fall 2015 have settled down and realized that the rail line in their backyards was there before they moved in, and that right-of-way means exactly that? Will they understand the Eastside Rail Corridor does not ‘belong’ to them, and their opinions carry no more weight than any other residents of King

Kirkland Corridor.

There are many safety concerns with buses on the CKC: It is near many parks and schools; It’s used by many school kids; and It connects neighborhoods and has a lot of pedestrian cross traffic.

I will oppose ST3 if it includes transit on the CKC. It is incomprehensible to me how any right minded individual would think and propose that mass transit sharing a pedestrian/bike trail is a “good idea.� This is a very bad alternative when clearly there are other workable alternatives. I live two blocks up from the trail in the Houghton area. If this rapid transit proposition was going to be the city’s and Metro’s choice, why in the world was the trail established in the first place. Why didn’t the powers that be just remove the tracks and trail and put in a public road that mass transit could utilize.

Why mask the project as a lovely, natural, safe haven for pedestrians and cyclists?

Rapid Transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor is unconscionable.

LET’S PLAY! Roadie is a 10 year old, 70 pound pit bull mix currently living in Snoqualmie. Roadie is a friendly guy who would love a new home where his family can spend more time with him. Roadie has not lived with other dogs but is usually social when he meets them. He enjoys children but hasn’t been around cats so a catfree home is probably best. He is neutered, house broken, loves walks, is in good health, and is up-todate on all his shots.

He’s a dog with lots of energy to play and a t a i l t h a t wo n ’ t s t o p wagging. This friendly guy would love to meet you!
