Time for a dash into the bay

By Ken Robinson What a year! A cold dip into Puget Sound sounds like a good idea to get over the months of bad news in 2017. We had record rain, record heat, a White Christmas! and a record number of new citizens in our communities. Property values went sky high and are climbing. Everybody wants to move here. There are cranes (the building type) all over the region, at the same time there are a record number of homeless people. Seattle got a new mayor after the sit-

ting mayor resigned in a club of accusations. The chief of police resigned and the King County Sheriff role was won by a woman. The women are taking over! We also saw a record number of new restaurants open as dreamers who worked their way up in local kitchens set out on their own. In some of those restaurants, workers at the waiter level are hard to find because of the lure of Amazon, where pay and benefits are better and you are less likely to come home smelling like fried food.

Other dreamers convinced the Seattle City Council to give over control of Key Arena in exchange for more than $600 million to create a space for a hockey team and maybe even a basketball team. More bread and circuses for us all. All in all, we feel blessed. We live in the most beautiful part of the country and maybe the world. The mountains, the Sound and the cloak of green trees are all around us, beckoning us to cherish them. We look forward to a prosperous year.

WESTSEATTLEHERALD

SERVING WEST SEATTLE & WHITE CENTER SINCE 1923

THE YEAR IN REVIEW 2017 has been a big year in Seattle. Around this time last year, we were preparing for a big change in the White House and it wasn’t long before tens of thousands of women hit in the streets to protest. Later in the year, Seattle would elect the first Indian-American woman to the U.S. House of Representatives, a woman to serve as King County Sheriff and the second woman to stand as mayor. Needless to say, it’s been a bit of a whirlwind. The city continues to expand and stretch in spite of the waterways that keep its footprint limited. Cranes have sprouted up around Seattle to signal the skyscrapers that will follow. The airport is also growing at shocking speeds to keep up with traffic coming to and from Seattle. Transportation around the city struggles to keep up—and residents wait for the demolition of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and the ensuing transformation of the waterfront. We at Westside Seattle have watched and reported as the issues affecting the entire city show up in our coverage area. We have been particularly focused on how growth, transportation and criminal justice are affecting neighborhoods west of I-5. We’ve enjoyed shining a light on the residents of Ballard, West Seattle, White Center, Burien, Des Moines, Normandy Park and SeaTac. We’ve met dreamers, artists, chefs, entrepreneurs, business moguls, workers, volunteers and all who contribute to making this area so dynamic. In celebration of the year to come and to bid farewell to 2017, we’d like to share a few of our favorite articles, as selected by our staff. They reflect the type of journalism we are working to keep alive—extremely local articles about the people and places on the west side. In February, we met David Kramer, who had to move into his RV, when rising costs of rent competed with his cancer treatment. A passerby shot the RV with a BB gun and Kramer implored residents to be compassionate about his situation. Here’s an excerpt: David Kramer says that most of the people who pass by his motorhome, parked on the shoulder of Harbor Ave S.W., leave him alone. “There are more nice people in West Seattle than anything,” he said. It’s the odd passerby who honks, cusses or makes a rude remark that gets to him. And even worse is the person—at least he hopes it’s only one—who has been shooting out the windows in his RV, the one belonging to his son, as well as others stationed throughout the neighborhood In March, we shared the news about how

David Kramer’s RV, parked on the shoulder of Harbor Ave. S.W., has been shot several times by a driver with a BB gun. He has lost five windows already and his son Daylin’s RV has been shot as well. He hopes police officers and the public will help put an end to the crime spree.

the restaurant community in West Seattle and White Center came together to help a struggling family. First, reporter Patrick Robinson wrote a story about Shi Qiu Chen at the New Leaf Bistro, who lost her husband to lung cancer and needed help with funeral costs and getting the family back on its feet. Following its publication, Patrick ran an update, announcing that Chen’s crowd-funding effort raised more than $20,000. “No website, no Facebook page, not even an email account. No advertising, no special sales, no marketing.” That’s the start of a story reporter Patrick Robinson wrote about Gregor Terjung,

Nothing can weigh down West Seattle swimmer Sam Day—not even a brick in each hand. We loved featuring this artist and lover of life. He inspires his friends —and us—to push ourselves and pursue our goals. “I have no interest in doing what everyone else is doing,” Day said. He does hope, however, to inspire others to do something unique for themselves. “Anytime you do something that no one else has done before, it should inspire people to try something they’ve never done before,” he said. Reporter Gwen Davis spoke to a ton of people about the Viaduct and updating the waterfront for a write-up in August. She interviewed officials about progress, as well as residents about their sentiments concerning the project. Burien impressed us with its efforts to

protect salmon traveling in Miller and Walker Creeks – and we decided to feature the story on one of our spring covers. The waterways wind through Burien, Normandy Park and SeaTac and adult salmon use them as a place to spawn eggs. Younger salmon use the creeks as aquatic highways, traversing the paths to Puget Sound. But each year, a number of fish are dying before they are able to spawn. Volunteers are keeping count of how many salmon suffer from “prespawn mortality.” Ann Wittkowsky, a Seattle resident who has lived in the city for the past 35 years, is also excited for the viaduct’s demolition, although it will not be without some degree of loss. “Part of the culture of entering the city is being on the viaduct and getting to see that incredible view which won’t be completely available anymore,” she said. She also voiced that two exits that currently get drivers off SR 99—Seneca and Western—won’t exist. “The only entry and exit points will be the south end and the north end of the tunnel and for a person who lives or works in the city, that will be a little bit of a hardship.” However, she said the benefits greatly outweigh the cons.

“In the long run, this is just tremendously exciting,” she said. Another poignant cover story was a look at two tent cities with different futures. Reporter Lindsay Peyton visited the location in Interbay to interview residents about their uncertain move in November. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times for two tent cities only two miles apart. Both camps were created as a result of 2015 legislation and each was given a two-year shelf life from the city. In November, each encampment has to move, no matter what. Patrick also covered a complex story about the future of the Corner Pocket, a pub below Easy Street. Patrick reported: “The plan by Easy Street Records to convert the former Corner Pocket Bar, located just below the nationally known record shop, into a part time music space and full time bar has been derailed, at least as far as the current leaseholder and apparently the landlords are concerned. The bar, under new and different management, could be open before the end of the year. The Corner Pocket closed in January 2016 following a drug bust. The lease holder, Jan Maine had her liquor license suspended in the process and the space was vacated and locked.”

We’re still waiting to see what will happen to the space. Lindsay Peyton said that interviewing Jon Chambers was a highlight for her in 2017. This Ballard dad transformed his driveway into Diagon Alley, the central thoroughfare of Harry Potter’s magical world for his daughters who are the biggest fans of the young wizard. Chambers plans to take the life-size set to Camp Korey in Mt. Vernon, a place where children with serious medical conditions and their families can go year-round, for free enrichment experiences. This is a story about creativity, family, neighborhoods and real, live magic. “I paid a visit to an old friend the other day. Not really a friend I guess but a place of fond memories that is closing, only to re-open in a brand new location. But it won’t be the same no matter what they do.” That’s how Patrick Robinson started his homage to Thirteen Coins—a 24-hour restaurant located at 125 Boren Ave. N. “It’s the victim of new development like so much in Seattle now. From the windows, at least for now, you can still read the engraved letters of the former home of the Seattle Times, now just a shell where a new building is going up.” We’re sure a lot of our readers share Patrick’s sentiments for the place or even have their own “Thirteen Coins” story about a favorite place in Seattle, now disappearing in the face of a changing city.

Mayor Durkan signs executive order creating Seattle Promise College Tuition program Mayor Jenny A. Durkan signed an Executive Order to create the Seattle Promise College Tuition program, which will reduce and remove the ﬁnancial barriers that keep some Seattle public high school graduates from earning a degree, credential or certificate. This action creates a framework for implementation, beginning with expanding the Seattle Promise College Tuition in the Fall of 2018 to provide a second year of college for current 13th Year Promise Scholarship students currently enrolled at South Seattle College. “Making college a reality for Seattle’s public schools students is a critical first step towards creating opportunity and addressing our city’s crushing affordabil-

ity crisis,” said Mayor Durkan. “The City of Seattle must play an active role in reducing and removing financial barriers that keep our high school graduates from going to college or getting the technical training. They need this education to have a shot at good, family wage jobs. This will not just be good for our students; it will be great for Seattle. It will help channel the prosperity of our thriving economy back into our community, and let us start filling thousands of job openings with our home-grown talent. Creating the Seattle Promise will build economic opportunity through education and help to make progress to reduce the opportunity gap for students of color.”

END OF AN ERA

The Thirteen Coins defined intimate dining, even for Johnny

Patrick Robinson

The bar at the Thirteen Coins on Boren featured high backed Captains Chairs where you would watch the chefs produce an amazing array of food from an extensive menu.

By Patrick Robinson I paid a visit to an old friend the other day. Not really a friend I guess but a place of fond memories that is closing, only to re-open in a brand new location. But it won’t be the same no matter what they do. The Thirteen Coins restaurant was a place in the late ’60s and ’70s that was uniquely kind of East Coast in that it offered intimate, high-quality dining 24 hours a day. The original is located at 125 Boren Ave. N. but will close in couple of weeks, then reopen in Pioneer Square. It’s the victim of new development like so much in Seattle now. From the windows, at least for now, you can still read the engraved letters of the former home of the Seattle Times, now just a shell where a new building is going up. There’s another one out by the airport but it’s mostly for tourists or travelers and one in Bellevue now, too. When I was dating it was in the top three places to go in Seattle if you were trying to treat a girl to a special dinner. It introduced me to the idea of the chef as entertainment since the long narrow space had high-backed Captain’s chairs at the bar. The chefs displayed their wizardry right in front of you, with the occa-

sional flambe for excitement. They featured dishes like Steak Sinatra Ala Mia (so named from the marriage of Frank Sinatra and actress Mia Farrow), and the place where I first heard of something called a Frittata. I gained about 10 points of sophistication every time I went there (I am approaching 150 now, which sounds good, but that’s out of 1,000). It was the kind of place where you could order the Hangtown Fry (an assortment of fried seafood) or something they call “The Believer” which is their incredibly rich version of Chicken Parmigiana. The tables, from the beginning, had 13 actual coins under plastic resin on each table top from all over the world. One night I had asked a beautiful girl named Nancy out on a date. I had tickets to see the famous Johnny Carson, Host of the Tonight Show, LIVE in Seattle at the Coliseum (now the Key Arena). Yes, he actually went on tour one year, and he was hilarious. We had good seats and he did some stand-up, a lot of slapstick style humor and the audience loved it all. Then it was time for dinner. So we drove up to the Thirteen Coins. We waited a bit but were finally seated in one of the booths and ordered dinner. I got up to visit the men’s room and I noticed there

was a bit of commotion near the back of the restaurant. I didn’t think much about it, but I asked a waiter, “What’s going on?” He whispered quietly, “Johnny Carson is here.” I was dumbstruck (not hard for me). One of my heroes was eating at the same place I was! I slowly walked back toward the men’s room and casually glanced over. Incredible. It was him! Too shy (and honestly out of respect), I lifted my hand in a short wave. He looked up and smiled. I think he knew I was letting him keep his privacy. That’s one of the things the old 13 Coins was so good at, even with a full house the space was so intimate that you could have a private conversation, and spend time just being yourself. Maybe that’s all unimportant in a time when it feels like every thought gets tweeted or shared, every meal gets photographed and posted, when every experience becomes part of a river of social media. But I have to say. I’m going to miss it. There’s still a little time left to visit the old place but you better hurry. If you do, try one of the classics, or if you are too late, maybe just drive by and remember. And say hello to the ghost of Johnny Carson for me, or better yet, just wave. He’d appreciate it.

POLICEREPORTS BALLARD GUN FIRED ON 9 AVE. N.W.

Around 6 a.m. on Sun., Dec. 24, officers received a call about a gun being fired in the 5300 block of 9th Ave. N.W. As they were pulling up in the area, they saw a car driving away and stopped the driver. The victim was in the car and told officers that he had been punched in the mouth. He declined medical attention. He had been hanging out in the park, when a car pulled up and asked if they wanted a drink. The suspect then punched him and took his gun. The victim asked the suspect to return his weapon. Instead, the suspect fired a round before leaving. Officers were able to find a spent casing in the area and submitted it into evidence.

WOMAN STEALS CAKE AND ICE CREAM

The suspect had already fled the scene of a commercial robbery in the 900 block of N.W. 45th Street, when police arrived around 3:40 p.m. on Thurs., Dec. 21. The loss prevention specialist at the store said he was patrolling the shop when he saw

the suspect in the bakery area. The woman had been trespassed from the store in the past. Officers asked her to leave and return the merchandise she was holding. She put what she was holding back but then tried to shoplift cake and ice cream. The loss prevention specialist followed her outside and asked her to return the merchandise. She pushed him away. She left before officers arrived.

THIEF TAKES CIGARETTES

Around 2:55 a.m. on Sat., Dec. 23, police arrived in the 300 block of N.W. 85th Street to find the front window of a store smashed. Lighters and packs of cigarettes were scattered on the counter. The victim said that 50 cigarette packs were stolen and that he would send video footage of the crime to officers. He saw, in the video, an unidentified man, who wore a mask and gloves. There were no fingerprints on the scene.

THIEF LEAVES EMPTY-HANDED

Officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of N.W. 80th Street to investigate a

burglary around 3:40 p.m. on Sun., Dec, 24. The caller said the suspect broke into a storage shed. A hole was punched into the door and the frame was broken. The caller said that nothing seemed to be missing.

WEST SEATTLE KNOCK, KNOCK

A man called police around 9:20 p.m. on Fri., Dec. 22 to report that a man knocked on his door and hit him in the face. When officers arrived at the man’s home in the 6300 block of 18th Avenue S.W., they found the suspect on site. He was being detained by the caller and his two brothers. Officers placed the man in handcuffs. He appeared to be intoxicated and was agitated. The victim explained that he heard a knock on the door and opened it to a man who he had never seen before. The man asked for a ride and then threatened to take out his gun if the caller refused. The victim shut the door. Later, he went outside and the suspect approached him again. The victim called police. The suspect was upset and started striking him, punching him in the nose. The man was arrested for harassment. The suspect did not have a gun. He matched the description from an earlier call about an intoxicated man hitting someone’s vehicle. Officers later found the suspect’s vehicle on 18th Avenue S.W. running with keys in the ignition. The car was impounded.

HE SAID, SHE SAID

Around 3:50 p.m. on Thurs., Dec. 21, officers arrived in the 2300 block of 42nd Avenue S.W. to interview a woman about

an assault. She explained that she was driving west on the West Seattle Bridge in the far right lane, when another vehicle tried to cut her off. She said that he aggressively lurched towards her, even though there was no room for his car. Both vehicles eventually exited on Admiral Way S.W. The man was driving ahead of her and slowed his car down. She tried to pass him, but then he swerved at her to block her car. He then began driving down the white line so there was no room to pass him on either side. When the man finally parked his car, she confronted him, yelling “Are you out of your mind?” He charged at her and pushed her. He started to go toward the store and then he pushed her again. Soon, they were both cussing at each other in the parking lot. He eventually walked to his car to leave. She got in her car to write down his license plate. When she tried to approach his car, he began backing up and hit her in the leg. A store employee told them both to leave the parking lot. The woman returned home and called police. She declined medical attention. Officers then went to the man’s house. He had a completely different story saying that the woman is the one who sped up and blocked him on the West Seattle Bridge. He said that later she was honking him and trying to pass in the bicycle only lane. He said there was no physical contact.

SECURITY GUARD TRIES TO STOP THIEF

A security guard in the 2600 block of S.W. Barton Street alerted police around 7:20 p.m. on Thurs., Dec. 12 saying that he was working as a security guard, when a man tried to shoplift. The caller tried to stop the suspect, but the suspect then punched him.

Now until the end of January, Mon.– Thurs., 8:30 a.m.–8 p.m. and Fri., 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. The Burien Community Center is currently presenting the works of artist Monica Bretherton. Monica began her artistic career in Denver Colorado, where she exhibited sculpture and painting, including some public commissions. She completed her BFA at the State University of New York at Purchase, and went on to work professionally in film and finance, careers that didn’t leave much time for art. After a move to the Pacific Northwest, she returned to artistic practice with a new focus on acrylics. She discovered that her chickens made excellent subjects, and she credits them with getting her mojo back. She currently resides in Arlington, WA, and is part of the Arlington Arts Council, with a mission to bring more art and arts education to the town. More information about the artist can be found at www.triangleranch.com. For more information please call Burien Parks and Recreation at 206.988.3700.

Admiral Theater’s Dinah Brein to retire

By Patrick Robinson A familiar face at the Admiral Theater will be missed by many next month as long time manager Dinah Brein will be retiring starting in January. She announced the retirement and said she wanted “to sincerely thank you for all of the support, encouragement and Goodwill you have shown me and “the other old girl”. I will be looking to do some kind of creative venture in the spring.” She was instrumental in helping guide the makeover of the historic theater where she has worked since 2008. Brein, whose brother’s company has owned and run a small network of theaters called Faraway Entertainment, has a long history in the music industry and in 2013 won the Today Show “Quest for the Best Today Show Jingle” songwriting contest with partner Jon Michaels. She summed up her musical back-

ground by writing that she has “been a signed staff writer for such publishing companies as; Famous Music, EMI, Motown. I am prolific in many styles from rock/ pop/country/R&B and AC. Stephanie Mills took me to number 3 with Comfort Of A Man, other covers by Thelma Houston, Geveeta Steele, Robbie Neville, Fee Waybill, Mary Wilson, Christopher Cross, Fergie (Wild Orchid), and have worked with Tori Amos, Fergie, Jamie O’Neil, Gretchen Wilson, Brad Cotter, and Melinda Doolittle. I have had my music featured on such TV shows as: Touched By An Angel, Dawson’s Creek, Melrose Place, Young & The Restless, HBO series and specials, Baywatch, ABC Children’s special and more. Film work includes: Jacknife (Robert Dinero), Lambada, Kick Boxer, Nightmare on Elm Street, Perfect, and others. I have a large catalog available for recording as well as offering my producer skills for projects, demos, and artist packages.

A familiar face at the Admiral Theater will be missed by many next month as long time manager Dinah Brein (inset) will be retiring starting in January. She announced the retirement and said she wanted “to sincerely thank you for all of the support, encouragement and Goodwill you have shown me and “the other old girl”.

Who are my influences? Here’s the recipe. Paul Simon meets Sting, has tea with Billy Joel and scones with Don Henley and then they all go over to Luther Vandross’s house for barbeque. While there, early Carole King, colaborates with Mindy Smith, who

then add a new verse by Macy Gray while Aretha adds serious background, mixed in with greens from Al Green, Prince, Alannis Morrisette and is presided over by the godly yet incredibly smart lyrics of Nicole Nordeman.”

Diamonds in the dust

JEAN GODDEN Y

ears ago, Queen Elizabeth II bid goodbye to Annus Horribilis, her year of royal troubles. Many of us would count America’s 2017 as another horrible year, much multiplied. However, there are a few bright spots to be found in the year of our discontents. Here, following the pattern of media year-enders are 10 diamonds—my personal favorites—for Seattle: Women’s March: On Jan. 21, the day after Donald Trump’s inauguration, millions of women in pink pussyhats took to streets around the world. In Seattle, the march— estimated at between 120,000 and 175,000 —was the largest protest in our city’s history. Marchers demonstrated for equal rights, equality and social justice. Organizers are planning an anniversary march Jan. 20, 2018, starting at Cal Anderson Park. Blocking Trump’s ban: On Jan. 27, thousands, including Governor Jay Inslee, Attorney General Bob Ferguson, Senator Patty

Murray, former U. S. attorney Jenny Durkan and all five Port of Seattle commissioners, showed up at Sea-Tac Airport to protest President Trump’s stealth executive order banning refugees and immigrants arriving from certain countries. Attorneys from the ACLU and Northwest Immigration Rights were on hand—lawyers in baggage claim— to assist those summarily banned. Seattle Justice: U. S. District Judge James Robart granted a temporary stay, effective nationwide, of the president’s travel ban. Judge Robart, a Shoreline High School grad, said: “No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States.” On Feb. 7, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, heard arguments from Noah Purcell, Washington’s solicitor general. The judges agreed and approved Judge Robart’s stay. Sanctuary City: Mayor Ed Murray confirmed in February that Seattle will remain a Sanctuary City, rejecting requests to detain undocumented immigrants despite a threat to block federal funds. The Seattle City Council followed up with a Sanctuary City resolution and then set up a $1 million legal defense fund to assist immigrants and refugees. No Lunch Shaming: Back in May, Jeffrey Lew, a Seattle dad, learned about “lunch shaming,” singling out school children whose parents owed back money for childrens’ lunches. The youngsters were given “alternative” meals and made to wear wristbands. Lew decided to wipe out a $97.10 debt at his son’s school. Then Lew set up a GoFundMe campaign that inspired others, including dads like Stephen Medawar.

The dads raised $100,000, wiping out lunch debt across the city. The campaign spread to dozens of state districts. Lew led the way with his mantra: “No Child Goes Hungry.” New Leader for Seattle: After Seattle Mayor Murray dropped his election campaign, 21 candidates filed for office. The crowded race ended with four women polling ahead of 16 male candidates and the lone woman socialist. Finalists Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon debated all over the city, airing city problems and solutions. Durkan won and in December was sworn in as the first woman mayor in 89 years. Education and housing: Among her first official actions, Mayor Durkan called for two years of free college tuition for Seattle high school graduates, 350 more rent vouchers for low-income families and hundreds of new affordable housing units. Parenting progress: In February, Seattle expanded paid parental leave from six to 12 weeks, effective immediately, for city employees. Following the city’s example, the state Legislature in July approved funding for a 12-week family leave law. That law is the most generous in the nation, but won’t take effect until 2020. Reporters at work: In an era of

Trumped-up charges of “fake news,” Seattle media, with few exceptions, were doing professional journalism proud. Readers were able to follow breaking news events, depending on both print and digital sources. Standouts included Seattle Times investigative reporting on troubling patient safety issues at a local hospital and thorough media coverage of the deadly Amtrak train derailment in DuPont. Waterfront for all: On April 4, Bertha, the massive tunnel-boring machine, completed its journey under Seattle. Work continues to ready the tunnel, which next year will open and replace the aging, patched-together Alaskan Way Viaduct. The massive engineering project, coupled with replacement of the Elliott Bay seawall, will transform Seattle’s waterfront into 20-acres of park and promenade. At last, we will have a grand new front door for the city. Those few bright spots—my favorites— are memorable, but here’s hoping for a far better year in 2018. Jean Godden is a veteran Seattle PI and Seattle Times newspaperwoman and city councilwoman. Her column will give us an insider’s view of city politics. You can email Jean at jgodden@blarg.net.
