FINDING THE BEST ROUTE

Sound Transit reviewing options for light rail extension

By Jessica Keller

e Sound Transit Board is further narrowing down the best routes and station stops — and alternatives — for its planned West Seattle and Ballard Link extensions project, with a meeting last ursday drawing a large number of commenters o ering opinions.

e West Seattle Link Extension will add 4.7 miles of light rail service from downtown Seattle to West Seattle’s Alaska Junction neighborhood and includes four new stations from SODO to Alaska Junction.

e Ballard Link extension adds 7.1 miles of light rail service from downtown Seattle to Ballard, including a new downtown Seattle railonly tunnel and includes nine new stations from Chinatown-International District to Market Street.

While the majority of the comments at last week’s Sound Transit Board meeting centered around the routes and station

alternatives for other areas of the city, a few members of the Uptown community expressed their concerns about the proposals at Seattle Center, especially the e ects on businesses.

As part of the project, Sound Transit is exploring two station options and alternatives at Seattle Center in Uptown. e rst is a tunnel Republican Street Station, a preferred alternative, which would include construction of a tunnel station under Republican Street between Queen Anne Avenue North and Seattle Center.

e second is the Tunnel Mercer Street Station,

which would involve constructing a tunnel station under Mercer Street, between Queen Anne Avenue North and Warren Avenue North.

LOCAL IMPACTS

Jessica Hurst, owner of Mercer Street Books, told the board that an equity study is needed to determine the impacts of demolishing businesses, including her own, on Mercer Street for the Seattle Center Station Mercer alternative. She said a large number of the small businesses that would be impacted are owned by women and

racial minorities, and their earnings are modest enough that if they were forced to move, they would not be able to survive.

“Equity studies were given to the international district, but racial inequity is not quarantined to a single neighborhood,” Hurst said. “ e burden of demolition should not fall to those who are least able to recover and most highly prized by their neighbors.”

James Ly, owner and neighborhood barista at Ca e Zingaro, at the corner of Mercer and Warren, said more than just businesses

Mayor prioritizes revitalization in Downtown Seattle plan

By Spencer Pauley | e Center Square

Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell announced his office’s plan to prioritize the restoration of the downtown core in his 2023 State of the City address last week.

Following a year in which the city saw nearly 50,000 cases of crime, Harrell emphasized hope for a better 2023. Citing how the district is home to 100,000 residents and over 320,000

jobs, the mayor sees Downtown Seattle as the “undisputed economic engine and cultural hub of our region.”

“I am bullish on our downtown,” Harrell said in his address.

“The problems we are facing are not insurmountable and the opportunities, therefore, are immense.”

Harrell’s focus will be on addressing crime and drug use in the downtown district. The mayor said he walked around downtown earlier this month

and saw that downtown safety concerns were real. This included witnessing people using fentanyl.

The mayor announced the Downtown Activation Plan, which will look at immediate strategies to make downtown safer and more welcoming. This includes filling vacant storefronts along with converting office space to housing to creating what his office calls a “linear arts-entertainment-culture district.”

“We need to recognize that [Seattle’s

downtown] office space may never fill up as before,” Harrell said. “We need more housing options, so let’s make downtown affordable for everyone who wants to live there.”

Harrell mentioned in his address that Amazon’s decision to require its employees to work at their respective offices is a good thing for the Downtown Seattle core. However, safety is seen as an im-

ChatGPT went live at the end of November 2022, and in less than one week had more than 1 million users. It has already set a record for the fastest app to reach 100 million users, which it reached in February.

It is designed to mimic human conversation, and it’s already wreaking havoc in our education systems with its ability to write convincing essays given the appropriate prompts. Microsoft, a backer of ChatGPT, is preparing to roll out an enhanced AI version of its search engine BING using ChatGPT technology. The output of these AI technologies is mind boggling, but in the midst of the existential angst it is causing, there are many positives.

For example, the ability of AI to analyze vast quantities of data at the same time has enabled the development of groundbreaking technology involving fall prediction and fall prevention. Falls are the leading cause of injuries and death in adults 65 years of age and older. Startups as well as more-established companies are using a variety of sensor technologies to receive input that can then be interpreted using vast numbers of data points in individual behavior to predict

and potentially prevent a fall from occurring. Sensors can be permanently fixed in resident apartments or can be wearable devices. In learning individual behavior patterns, AI can detect changes in movement and behaviors that can alert the user as well as staff that the individual is at risk of falling.

The same type of data can be used to detect urinary tract infections. Untreated UTIs can eventually lead to kidney infections, kidney failure, other organ failure and death. Through the analysis of vast numbers of behavioral data points, AI technology can predict and/or detect a UTI and can alert the individual and/or staff to the potential or present danger.

There is definitely a “big brother” feel to some of these applications, yet the ability to prevent a fall or a UTI from occurring is a gamechanger and potential life saver.

AI is a tool that can be used for amazing innovations like these, some of which we look to incorporate at Bayview. Ideally it will create better and healthier pathways for all of us at any age.

Nancy Weinbeck is the CEO of Bayview in Queen Anne

portance for returning workers and residents. The district has so far seen the most violent crime reports throughout the city, including one homicide in the first month of 2023, according to the Seattle Police Department crime dashboard.

Last year there were 590 deaths by overdose in Seattle, according to Harrell. The mayor also announced that the city will launch the NeighborhoodFocused Unified Care Team, which brings a neighborhoodlevel focus to helping those experiencing homelessness connect with places to go and providing services to keep city public spaces clean.

Seattle Metro Chamber President Rachel Smith applauded Harrell’s address for prioritizing public safety and revitalizing the downtown area.

“Mayor Harrell’s policy priorities mirror what we hear from both our member businesses and the voters,” Smith said in a statement. “As Mayor Harrell pointed out, it is time to pay attention to the essentials — now let’s get to work.”

HIGHLIGHTS OF HARRELL’S ADDRESS

• The Downtown Activation Plan — immediate activation strategies to make downtown safer and more welcoming, such as filling vacant storefronts and a future Executive Order addressing fentanyl and syn-

thetic drugs; along with longterm transformational enhancements, ranging from converting office space to housing to creating a linear arts-entertainmentculture district.

• The Civilian Assisted Response and Engagement Department — a third public safety department to work alongside Police and Fire, expanding our public safety toolkit to better meet the needs of our residents, especially those with behavioral and mental health needs.

• Launch of NeighborhoodFocused Unified Care Team — New UCT teams will launch next month, bringing a neighborhood-level focus to helping those experiencing homelessness connect with places to go and providing services to keep city public spaces clean.

• Building More Housing

— To increase needed housing the City will advance a bold housing levy, permitting reforms, the Comprehensive Plan Update, and more to build on improvements to design review; the foundation of a housing subcabinet; and a $250 million a ordable housing investment in the budget — the largest of its kind.

• Vision Zero Improvements — In the coming days, Mayor Harrell and SDOT Director Spotts will share early actions addressing Vision Zero goals, along with further details

of a $25 million federal grant to implement safety improvements in underserved neighborhoods.

• Taking Climate Action — Bold new policies to address climate change, build climate resilience, and deliver environmental justice, including new clean buildings, tree preservation and planting, and Seattle’s Green New Deal investments in Resilience Hubs and electric heat pump conversion.

• Hiring 26 Park Rangers — a massive expansion of the program, with rangers helping improve safety in parks and serving as ambassadors and guides to residents in needs. Park Rangers will help keep parks welcoming and accessible to all, building on the work of the Unified Care Team in reducing the number of parks and green spaces significantly impacted by encampments by 70 percent since 2021.

• 2023 One Seattle Day of Service — will occur on May 20, building on 2022’s successful community-building volunteer event.

• Rainier Playfield Ballfields

Restoration — in preparation for the All-Star Game, the Seattle Mariners are funding and partnering with the City to renovate and restore the Rainier Playfield ballfields.

are at risk with the Mercer Street proposal. It impacts the community, as well.

“Community, to me, isn’t just about building new things,” Ly said. “It’s the local barista that remembers you need to have oat milk otherwise you’re in for a really rough day. It’s the owner of the local book store that goes above and beyond to nd that perfect childhood book that will be the perfect gi for your grandson or granddaughter. It’s the local barbershop that you sometimes walk in, not to get a haircut, but to sit down and solve the world’s problems or why the Mariners just can’t seem to win the pennant.”

Speaking about the impacts of the Republican Street alternative, Seattle International Film Festival Executive Director Tom Mara said the proposed station at the corner of Queen Anne Avenue North and Republican would hurt Uptown eatre, which SIFF owns, and its three cinemas at the location.

“Noise and vibration from construction during the ve

or more years of work will be fatal to our operations and cannot be mitigated,” Mara said.

While Uptown Alliance representatives who spoke did not speak in favor of one proposal over the other, they urged Sound Transit Board to study current data on impacts and costs to the community.

UPCOMING MEETINGS

People still have time to comment at two meetings coming up this month.

At the rst, the System Expansion Committee will discuss the project again and might provide a recommendation to the Sound Transit Board to identify the preferred alternative for the Ballard Link Extension. at meeting is from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. March 9.

Later in the month, the full 18-member Sound Transit Board might identify a preferred alternative for the Ballard Link Extension from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. March 23.

Any action at these two meetings will indicate a preference among the

light rail alternatives but is not a nal decision or commitment by Sound Transit’s board.

Members of the public may attend the Sound Transit Board meetings and System Expansion Committee meetings in person or virtually, including dialing in, through a browser, or the via the

WebEx mobile app. For more information on how to attend or provide public comment, visit the Board of Directors website.

All meetings are recorded and will be uploaded to the WebEx Livestream archive.

e nal environmental impact statement for the extension project is expected to be published late this year.

e Sound Transit Board will select the project to be built a er that is published. For more information on every aspect of the West Seattle and Ballard Link extensions, including links to previous meetings and alternative explanations, visit wsblink.participate.online.

Lessons from the 2023 Northwest Flower and Garden Festival

Ariot of inspiration, color and activity, the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival is like a circus designed by and for gardeners. From 18 life-sized display gardens created in 72 hours to the marketplaces and dozens of seminars, there hardly seems time to see it all — even in ve days.

No matter how outlandish or fantastical, the display gardens alone are full of take-home ideas you can implement in your plot of earth — inside or out.

West Seattle Nursery took home the gold medal, the Founders’ Cup and Garden Communicators’ award for an upcycled artist’s studio in the woods. A wooden shed on stilts stood above a stream, with mosses and shade-loving plants curving under and around it.

e exterior is decorated with salvaged windows and a woven screen of leaves, and the rear wall is covered in ferns. Outside, oakleaf primroses are planted in logs at the perimeter of a lushly layered planting.

Many designs showcased greenhouses or structures anchoring the scenes. e plant-centric Flower Growers of Puget Sound display made a faux stepping-stone path of gaultheria alternating with mosses and other small-textured groundcovers. Looking at Nature Perfect Landscaping & Design’s display, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Falling Water” house, you might not ever build an aquaponic greenhouse with koi on one side feeding plants on the other, but it’s wonderful to see.

You could easily be inspired, however, to copy the river of selaginella draping over boulders beautifully echoing the rushing water right next to it.

In Livingroom Landscape’s naturalistic display, a path meandered through a woodland scene with a charming bulb- lled meadow on the sunny side, showing how you can create a peaceful blend in any exposure using simple combinations of repeated plants.

Little Prince of Oregon’s garden was a plant lover’s paradise, giving you permission to play; South African Albuca “Frizzle Sizzle”

popped from a river of sempervivums on one side while a carpet of tender begonias and houseplants dazzled on another. is might be a record — three displays featured putting greens among the plantings.

Because it’s February, you see a limited palette of plants, with spring bulbs and primroses for color, rhododendrons and camelias for heft, and willows and cherries for airy elegance.

It’s great to see how the plants are placed with evergreens to see how you might tuck some “Tete a Tete” miniature da odils between a bare hydrangea and a drift of black mondo grass (Ophiopogon nigrescens), for instance. Of course, you can’t leave without falling for hellebores and witch hazel, which were out in full force. Yes, I bought a hellebore … and two daphne “Eternal Fragrance” and a couple of other things.

I didn’t see as many seminars as usual this year, but the ones I saw were excellent.

Pennsylvania-based landscape designer Danilo Ma ei spoke on “Designing for eme,” and what struck me was “Your landscape needs an elevator speech.” His method for designing is to assign a theme, like “meadow with a pool,” which becomes the de ning vision. If the palette, materials and plants don’t align with that vision, nix them.

You can see how this cuts down on arguments with builders or spouses, impulse buys and generally simpli es things.

Charlie Nardozzi, garden writer and television host, called for ecological gardening as an extension of organic gardening.

Instead of considering the garden a static system where you add inputs — even organic ones — to soil, he suggests creating an ecosystem supporting wildlife, pollinators and the soil. Eventually, nature creates the inputs as needed. It’s less work for us and better for the planet.

He also discussed sciencebacked examples of companion planting, like planting mint family plants to mask the scent of Brassicas (cabbages, broccoli, kale, for example) to protect them from cabbageworms.

Kathy Jentz, author of the new book “Groundcover Revolution,” is on a mission to make the humble groundcover sexy. And why not? Groundcovers can reduce mulching, weeding, watering, improve soil health. e right one might help you, as it did Jentz, win the battle against invasive English ivy. She says there’s one for every situation.

For a spot in full sun, creeping thyme o ers fragrance, owers, step-ability and is deer-resistant. In the shade of deciduous trees, winter- owering hellebores are evergreen and will happily hide any fallen leaves, or summer- owering hostas can be mowed in fall along with those leaves, nourishing the soil.

For the darkest spots, try underevergreen rhodies. Jentz likes perennial geranium m. “Biovoko.”

Even if you didn’t get to attend, you can nd handouts for many of the lectures on the show website under Speakers/Resources or go to gardenshow.com/seminars/ speaker-pro-tips.

In the marketplace, there was something for everyone — antiques, dahlias, mushrooms, orchids, jewelry, massage chairs and statuary. It’s pretty easy to get overwhelmed, so I like to attend a couple of days at least. It’s kept me from buying that 6-foot-tall rusty metal Sasquatch — so far.

Right place at right time: Training day turns into northern fur seal rescue mission

A eld excursion led by Seattle Aquarium researchers along the Olympic Peninsula quickly turned into a life-saving mission.

Seattle Aquarium’s Senior Conservation Research Manager Shawn Larson was leading a sea otter observation excursion alongside Research Scientist for Clean Seas Program Veronica Padula. e Oregon Coast Aquarium’s Curator of Marine Mammals Brittany Blades and Senior Mammologist Ashley Gri n-Stence were participating in the eld work when they heard distressed cries nearby. Just up the beach was a young northern fur seal entangled with material wrapped tightly around its neck.

“In my 22 years of doing this work, I’ve never seen a northern fur seal pup on the beach,” Larson said.

e team immediately jumped into action, following standard protocol and contacting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration West Coast Marine Mammal Stranding Network. Typically, when a marine mammal is reported stranded or injured, a network partner responds to assess the animal and determine the best course of action. However, this was an atypical situation. e team was in a remote location on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, and network responders would take many hours to arrive on scene.

Dr. Larson said the remoteness of Neah Bay wasn’t lost on her.

“ is time of year, no one goes

down there,” she said. “No one else would have known what to do in that situation.”

e team of marine mammal experts received authorization from NOAA o cials to assist the fur seal. Larson used a pair of scissors from a rst-aid kit to cut the restriction from around the fur seal’s neck, while Blades restrained its head and Gri nStence restrained its body.

e culprit was an elastic piece of cloth, similar to the wrist opening of a garden glove. Once the fur seal was released, it quickly made its way towards the water.

“It was that northern fur seal’s lucky day, to strand behind four marine mammal biologists speci cally experienced with handling and rehabilitating entangled fur seals,” Blades said.

Northern fur seals are found along the north Paci c Ocean. is species spends a majority of its time at sea, coming to land just for the summer breeding season, or if they are injured or ill. e northern fur seal is listed as vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

Anyone who sees a marine mammal that needs help on the beach should contact the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries marine mammal stranding network to report details by calling 1-866767-6114. Do not approach a marine mammal or allow pets to go near it. Besides the risk of spreading diseases, people could unintentionally hurt an animal’s chances of being able to recover

and return to its habitat.

A sea otter observation excursion at Neah Bay recently turned into a rescue of a northern fur seal pup that had become entangled in material wrapped around its neck.
