temic dysfunction” in the school district caused by lack of funding, high turn over and overcrowded classrooms. Seattle Public Schools Lead Media Relations Specialist Tim Robinson confirmed Mack’s resignation. Mack was elected in 2017 to
a fouryear term representing District IV, which includes Queen Anne and Magnolia. In her letter sent to Eden Mack Superintendent Denise Juneau and her colleagues on the
School Board, Mack said she is no longer willing to spend so much time away from her family trying to fix a “broken system” that does not provide everything the district needs, such as reasonable class sizes, curriculum and materials, mental health supports and fulltime nurses. “Nor can I sit through another meeting where we talk about

QA&Mag News editor As select members of the public begin to receive COVID-19 vaccinations in Seattle and King County, more efforts are underway to ensure the process goes smoothly. Thus far, vaccine rollout for high-risk health care personnel and staff and most residents in long-term care facilities, designated as phase “1A” by state officials, began Dec. 17. In Queen Anne, Aegis Living on Galer started its inoculation rollout Saturday. Earlier in the week, some members of Bayview staff and residents received their first in a two-shot vaccination series. In an email Friday, Bayview Assisted Living Manager Pamela Yeo said Friday she hadn’t experienced any “negative reactions, signs or symptoms” related to the vaccine. “I was thrilled to be a part of this opportunity in history when I received my vaccine here at Bayview,” Yeo said. “During this pandemic, we have all been doing our best to provide hope to our community. This is one more step forward in that process.” Bayview Health Center activi-

In less than three weeks, nursing staff will return to Bayview to provide boosters to the residents and staff who have already received the vaccinations and administer shots to remaining staff and residents permitted to be
vaccinated in the current rollout phase. Earlier this week, King County officials, including Executive Dow Constantine, announced that

MACK, FROM PAGE 1
“I really think that she’s a person, of all the people I’ve known who’ve run for school board, I really thought she was a person who could make the impossible possible because she really had all the tools to do it, and it’s pretty frustrating that there are so many systemic problems that, again, have been exacerbated by the pandemic,” Traven said. “It seems like the schools should be focused on scucess, and it just keeps getting more challenging. So I hope that it’s a wake up call and that her action has a positive effect. I’m sorry to see her go.” Prior to serving on the School Board, Mack served as legislative chair for the Seattle Council of Parent, Teacher and Student Associations, and, in 2015, founded Washington’s Paramount Duty, a grassroots organization aimed at pressuring the state to fully fund education. “Director Eden Mack is a tireless and long-standing advocate for public education and the students of Seattle,” according to a statement from the SPS Board of Directors. “For the past three years, she has focused on implementing significant improvements to district operations. Her personal integrity and commitment to ensuring the success of all children and families have made her a valued colleague. We have been grateful for her wisdom and expertise and all look forward to continuing to partner with Ms. Mack, even as she steps away from the board. We thank her for her service.” According to SPS procedure, in the event of a board member stepping down, the School Board will accept the resignation at its next regular meeting, which is slated for today. At the meeting, the board members may discuss plans to fill the Mack’s vacant seat. Typically, in the case of a vacancy, the School Board appoints a new member after receiving applications from interested community members. The appointed member would then serve until the board’s next regular election, at which time that person may choose to run for a new term as Mack’s term was set to expire this year.
implementing changes to protect students from harm but the administrative and policy changes that are needed are pushed off,” Mack said in her letter. She said the School Board members, comprised of all volunteers, are not equipped to oversee an “underfunded $1 billion budget” nor hire or manage a superintendent “to do this impossible job.” “The chronic underfunding for decades has been deeply damaging,” Mack said in her letter. “No one person is responsible for this mess, but we have a dysfunctional culture that even after multiple audits and recommendations and attempts to change policy and practices, there continue[s] to be scandals and lawsuits and students are being harmed. I don’t believe another change in Superintendents will fix it, nor will the next election. I can’t stress this emphatically enough. We need an intervention.” Mack stated she believes state Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal’s office needs to intervene to solve the problem. “The massive gap between the true cost of providing basic education in an urban school district and what the State provides is not imaginary,” Mack said in her letter. “We need a full audit of the governance, management, and financial structure, and then the resources and political will from the State to implement needed changes and close the funding gap.” She also suggested making School Board positions paid and full time, with required trainings and adequate staff. According to her letter, Mack does not intend to step away from public education reform forever, citing a desire to help solve the systemic failings after taking the time to “reengage” with her family. Magnolia resident and Community Council member Janis Traven said she was disappointed when she heard that Mack had resigned because she was convinced Mack would be able to improve the school system.

Courtesy Washington Governor’s Office Gov. Jay Inslee last week announced his latest COVID-19 phased recovery plan, “Healthy Washington — Roadmap to Recovery,” which went into effect Monday. Based on the current plan, the state will now follow a “regional recovery approach,” with every region beginning in Phase 1, according to a press release from the governor’s office. “No one was untouched by the effects of the pandemic in 2020; many have and continue to suffer through no fault of their own,” Inslee said during a press conference Tuesday. “We aren’t out of this yet, but we are close to turning the corner on COVID-19 and this third wave of infection.” According to the press release, the new recovery system “aims to safely ease some restrictions while also maintaining crucial hospital capacity...” The eight regions in the plan are based on Emergency Medical Services regions used for evaluating healthcare services. The counties were divided according to available health care services based on metrics such as hospitalizations, case data and disease mobility. The eight regions are as follows: Puget Sound: King, Pierce, Snohomish East: Adams, Asotin, Ferry, Garfield, Lincoln, Pend Oreille, Spokane, Stevens, Whitman North: Island, San Juan, Skagit, Whatcom North Central: Chelan, Douglas, Grant, Okanogan Northwest: Clallam, Jefferson, Kitsap, Mason South Central: Benton, Columbia, Franklin, Kittitas, Walla Walla, Yakima Southwest: Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat, Skamania, Wahkiakum West: Grays Harbor, Lewis, Pacific, Thurston A region’s phase will be determined by the Department of Health, and to advance each region must meet criteria set by DOH. The metrics for

The improvements will bring the site into compliance with current play area safety standards and Americans with Disabilities Act standards for accessibility.

Construction for the Loyal Heights play area, 2101 N.W. 77th St., began this week. Seattle Parks and Recreation awarded the construction contract to Green Tech Excavation, who began Monday. The play area will be completed in early May. The play area renovation project installs new play equipment with slides, swings and climbing features. The renovation will provide a new plaza with picnic tables,

According to the news release, the Loyal Heights Playfield Turf Replacement project experienced some Covid delays and issues with the drainage discovered after the turf/ carpet was removed. The project is progressing and is anticipated to be completed in February.

each region will be updated on the Risk Assessment Dashboard every Friday. Dependent on a region’s metrics, DOH will move into a new phase — forward or backward — the following Monday. “Our intent is to ensure that regions, the communities within them, and our state as whole have a balanced path toward recovery from the pandemic that relies on multiple key metrics that look at disease trajectory and health system capacity” Deputy Secretary for COVID Response Lacy Fehrenbach said last week. “This plan offers the start of clear way forward as we continue to slow the spread of COVID-19, while we get more people vaccinated over the next few months.” According to the governor’s office, Phase 1 mostly aligns with previous restrictions, with a few key exceptions. Indoor fitness and outdoor entertainment, for example, were both previously prohibited, but will now be permitted with restrictions. According to the governor’s press release, health officials believe the state can safely allow appointment-based fitness and training where there is no more than one customer per room or 500 square feet for large facilities. Masks and physical distancing are required. Other outdoor entertainment allowed to reopen in Phase 1 include zoos, outdoor theaters and concert venues and rodeos, among other outdoor venues. Operation must be by ticketed event only with groups of 10 maximum with a limit of two households. Timed ticketing is required, as well as facial coverings and physical distancing. Indoor gatherings and indoor dining remain prohibited. Outdoor dining with a maximum of six and limit for two households per table is permitted with an 11 p.m. close. Retail, worship services, personal services and professional services — where remote work isn’t available — are limited to 25 percent capacity.

Why does frost make shapes? You’re right: frost can sometimes form patterns that look like the ferns or flowers we find in nature. Those frosty shapes we see on the surface of windows start out as water in the air, my friend Kai Carter said. Carter is a meteorologist with Washington State University’s AgWeatherNet team. If you’ve ever had a glass of ice water, you may have noticed droplets formed on the outside of the glass. The droplets actually came from water in the air. This water condensed from the air onto the surface of your cup, which means it turned from a gas to a liquid. This is similar to what’s happening when dew forms on grass. But frost is a little bit different, Carter said. When frost forms, conditions have to be just right. As water from the air lands on a really cold surface like a windowpane, the water molecules freeze and join together with other water molecules to form patterns of ice crystals. An ice crystal is made up of two building blocks: hydrogen and oxygen. These hydrogen and oxygen atoms form a hexagon shape that is a kind of six-sided ring. Even though we may not be able to see them with our eyes, these hexagon shapes can repeat in a pattern across the frosty surface of the window. Sometimes the water molecules can form into one big sheet of frost. But sometimes things can get in the way of the water molecules. They may have to take a new path as they freeze to the surface of the glass. If the molecules run into something like a speck of dust, salt or even a bit of washer fluid from a car window, they may change their direction. As you’ve observed, they can start to
branch out into shapes that might look to us like feathers or ferns or tree limbs. In mathematics, we call this kind of thing a fractal design. A fractal pattern repeats itself at different scales. One other place you can also find fractal patterns in ferns. The fern frond looks like it’s made up of little fern fronds which look like they are made up of even smaller fern fronds. Next time you see some frost take time to observe its detailed patterns with a magnifying glass. Even if you don’t live someplace where it gets really cold, you can actually make your own frost, https://www.weatherwizkids.com/ experiments-frost.htm, right in the kitchen.
All you need is a tin can, salt, and ice. Fill the tin with ice and 4 tablespoons of salt and mix it up for a minute. Wait a few minutes and see what forms on the outside of the tin. The salt is important because it melts the ice, while at the same time helping the mixture drop below freezing. Why do you think that might be? What happens when you add more salt or more ice? Tell us about your frosty experiments sometime at Dr.Universe@wsu.edu. Sincerely, Dr. Universe

lack of clarity on supply chain or federal funding allocation because every day delayed impacts the lives of our residents, the strength of our community, and the vitality of our businesses.” According to the press release, County Councilmember Jeanne Kohl-Welles will be working with Constantine as the council’s Budget Committee chair to secure federal funding for reimbursement “I applaud Executive Constantine for committing to this significant and crucial investment in building King County’s vaccination infrastructure and subsequent ability to combat COVID-19,” Kohl-Welles said in the press release. “Unfortunately, we are filling a gap that has resulted from the failure of the current federal Administration to fulfill its responsibility. The reality is we cannot wait. Investing now will make it possible for us to significantly and equitably expand vaccination capacity and accessibility as the doses become available.” According to the press release, the first two vaccine sites will likely open in south King County, which has been hit hard COVID-19. In addition, five mobile strike teams will form to reach people unable to visit a healthcare provider or vaccination center. According to the press release, these teams will be helpful in vaccinating members of long-term care facilities, homeless shelters, senior centers and other areas housing vulnerable populations. Also last week, Seattle Public
VACCINES, FROM PAGE 1 $7 million will be used to create high-volume community vaccination sites and mobile teams so that as many residents as possible will be quickly, efficiently, and equitably vaccinated. According to the press release, the sites will serve people at highest risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 first and eventually be open to all members of the public as more vaccine supplies become available. The press release states, for COVID-19 to be contained and for the region to reopen, Public Health — Seattle & King County estimates that at least 70 percent of all adults, or approximately 1.26 million people, will need to be vaccinated. Part of King County’s vaccine rollout strategy is to ensure people have equitable access to vaccines as quickly as possible. The county vaccine sites will be important for people who are not connected to the health care system, who work multiple jobs or face barriers accessing health care. “King County will step up and organize community vaccination centers and mobile teams to make sure we hit the ground running as more and more people become eligible to receive doses,” Constantine said in the press release. “To get this pandemic under control, 16,000 adults must be vaccinated every day for six months. That’s why we need everyone behind this effort. We are moving ahead now despite the
Photo courtesy of Bayview Bayview resident Elizabeth receives a COVID-19 vaccine from a nurse provided through Walgreens, Jan. 4. Currently, healthcare workers and most residents of senior living facilities are eligible to receive the inoculations under state guidelines. Schools Superintendent Denise Juneau asked Gov. Jay Inslee and state and county leaders to give vaccinations to educators and school district personnel higher priority. “Prioritizing vaccinations for public educators and critical support staff will send a strong message of the state’s commitment to public education and care for our public educators in a time when so much is uncertain,” Juneau wrote in her letter. “This action will help build trust in our collec-
tive commitment to recovery.” Currently, the state is in Phase 1A of its vaccination plan, focusing on high-risk workers in health care systems, high-risk first responders and long-term care facility residents. K-12 educators and staff are slated to become eligible to receive vaccines in Phase 1B, in either Tier 2 or 4, depending on whether they are older or younger than 50. Juneau stated, it doesn’t make sense to have an age limit for education professionals and
requested all SPS personnel involved with in-person learning this March be included in the second broad vaccine distribution. “Our top priority must be to keep our staff, students and communities physically safe, as well as mentally and academically healthy,” Juneau said in her letter.

Alley houses woven into QA historic fabric By Michael Herschensohn
I
n 2015, Seattle City Councilmember Mike O’Brien introduced legislation to make it easier to construct Detached Accessory Dwelling Units in every Seattle neighborhood. A DADU is also known as a backyard cottage. The Queen Anne Community Council, a community advocacy group, through its Land Use Review Committee challenged the Environmental Impact Statement regarding the law because it treated every neighborhood in the same way without considering individual neighborhood differences. The LURC implied that the vague EIS did not acknowledge the threat to the historic fabric of Queen Anne’s single-family residential areas. As former LURC Chair Martin Henry Kaplan wrote on March 16, 2019, in an email to the community, “…the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is deficient and inadequate in studying and transparently revealing the true impacts to every Seattle property owner. As CM O’Brien and his colleagues propose to eliminate all single-family zoning citywide, we deserve a City Hall committed to robust neighborhood outreach, transparent and complete study and considered public input.” As a historic preservation planner who believes that increased urban density is one way to fight global warming, and just like the city’s hearing examiner who on March 19, 2019, rejected the LURC arguments, I did not agree with their position. In fact, adding backyard cottages or “alley houses” to our purportedly single-family lots is indeed a feature of Queen Anne’s historic fabric. At least that’s true for the area west of First Avenue North,

Offering instant gratification in the tiniest spots, small plants will be big inside and out, like “Micro Tom” tomato and “Baby Ball,” the world’s cutest beet. In May, designers told Architectural Digest magazine that people will be asking for multipurpose outdoor living spaces.

According to this screenshot of page 412 of the 1917 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, this typical block had two alley houses in 1917 (in yellow). Boston Street is at the top of the screenshot; Crockett Street is below. which is characterized by alleys and chockablock with alley houses. (There are no alleys east of First Avenue North). To prove that alley houses are woven into the historic neighborhood fabric, I would need to do a survey of every alley, but the task is daunting. I’ve been seeking a simpler solution, perhaps a small sample would do the trick. Now, thanks to my new best friend, Snowy Owl, I found the place to do it.
Snowy Owl, you may remember, has been camping on rooftops since November off the alley between First and Second Avenues West, running from the McClure parking lot north to McGraw Street, and I’ve been visiting the bird and the alley every day. To my delight, I discovered alley houses, new and old, scattered along the way. I restricted my sample to the shorter alley from the parking lot at McClure Middle School to
West Boston Street. Comparing the buildings along the alley to those shown on the 1917 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map would prove that alley houses and their modern DADU cousins have long been part of the historic fabric of the neighborhood. Comparing the city’s side sewer map to the Sanborn map sheds a little light on the story, for both of the houses shown with alley houses were built and connected
ines that people will transfer their unused travel budgets into hot tubs, trampolines, and fire pits. On a larger scale, GMG says vendors will get better at pivoting to offer quality over quantity and easy one-stop shopping, and we may see more suburban farm communities built, which foster community, access to nature, and self-sufficiency. Some forecasts are built on the backs of surveys from 2019, like the annual National Gardening Survey which surveys households. (https://garden.org/newswire/ view/dave/2/2020-NationalGardening-Survey-Released/). That report, released in May, saw a decrease in overall engagement in “lawn and garden activities” in 2019, particularly among those below the age of 45 years, a swing which 2020 looks to be reversing. As many as 16 million people started new gardens during the pandemic, says a June national survey by box-store retailer Bonnie Plants. (https://www. oregonlive.com/hg/2020/06/10-
tips-to-help-novice-gardenersreap-a-successful-harvest.html) Many of them were under 35, which is good news for the industry. The NGA is the only one to mention this notable outlier: the increased need for weed — that’s cannabis, not dandelion. “As state laws governing cannabis continue to become more permissive, about one-third of respondents say they would be definitely or probably cultivate cannabis if it were legal to do so,” according to the release. Most were interested in psychoactive cannabis but some were interesting in hemp/CBD cultivation. It’ll be interesting to see what next year’s survey has to say about 2020’s influence on that marker. Garden Design magazine (https://www.gardendesign.com/ trends/2021.html) seconds most of the above, with gardening itself leading the list, and adds monochromatic gardens (all one color), which are a.) simpler to coordi-
nate than a varied palette, and b.) soothing to the eye and mind. Garden Design doesn’t specify its method in collecting these trends, but cites a “surge in popularity” for one-color gardens. I find “moon gardens,” usually shades of white offset by lime, blue and silver foliage, being highly visible in the dark, especially welcome in Seattle’s often overcast skies. In the United Kingdom, a group named Love the Garden (https://www.lovethegarden. com/) trawled spiking Instagram hashtags to reveal these top trends, many of which dovetail with the above: inside/outside decorating, balcony and windowsill gardening, small-space gardens using plants with multi-season interest, white and gray gardens meaning in hardscaping and pots, wild gardens, cottage gardens, which mix edibles and ornamentals and let annuals sow around in a carefree way, and permaculture. So, again, we are seeing a clear message: Garden anywhere you

I marked the alley houses on the Sanborn map in yellow. The one at 2129 ½ First Ave. W. sits on a relatively new foundation, while the other, at 2122 ½ Second Ave. W. is just getting one. The red X on the east side of the alley is where a garage has been designed to suggest it too is an alley house. In 1964, the school district destroyed the three houses along Crockett Street to make room for the new McClure Middle School parking lot. The residential quality of the block is made clear as all the buildings are labeled with a “D.” It stands for “wood-frame dwelling.” A close look tells you that all the houses except the alley houses and the one at 115 W. Boston St. had basements (B). The D would have been significant. That way the fire insurance company, let’s say Sanborn back in Philadelphia, would have known they were being snookered when someone submitted a claim for an expensive brick building that had burned down on the site. The prevention of true fraud at any moment in history is probably a good thing. This speedy analysis shows us that the City Council’s DADU law allowing the introduction of second homes on lots in our neighborhood of single-family homes actually enhances its historic quality, and as this quick look down at Snowy Owl Alley reveals, early on Queen Anne homeowners loved adding little cottages in their back yards. — Michael Herschensohn is the Queen Anne Historical Society president.
