A careful balancing act

Bayview weighs resident, staff safety with more gatherings

By Jessica Keller

QA&Mag News editor Ever since the first cases of COVID-19 were found in

Washington state, Bayview Life Plan Community in Queen Anne has followed strict protocols to keep both residents and staff safe, which has meant limiting

programs and activities previously offered.

Since then, Bayview administrators have researched and adopted different strategies they hope will allow residents to enjoy greater access to each other and programs.

One of the first things Bayview administrators did in 2021 was set up a program to detect the

COVID-19 virus in areas of the facility through weekly surface testing.

Now Bayview has gone a step further by partnering with a lab company to process COVID-19 tests for any staff and residents that are taken in house twice a week. The turn-around time is

District 36 senator won’t seek re-election

State Sen. Reuven Carlyle, D-Seattle, announced Monday he will not seek re-election in 2022.

Carlyle, 56, represents the 36th Legislative District, which includes Queen Anne, Magnolia, South Lake Union, Belltown, Ballard and Greenwood. He has served in both the state House and Senate in his 13-year career in the Legislature.

Carlyle first joined the Legislature after he was elected to the House of Representatives from the 36th Legislative District in 2008, when he succeeded 36-year veteran Rep. Helen Sommers.

There, he served as chair of the Finance Committee and as a budget writer. He was elected to

the state Senate for the 36th in 2015 when he succeeded Sen. Jeanne KohlWelles, Reuven Carlyle who is now a King County Council member. Carlyle has been elected and re-elected six times since 2008.

“The ideal of servant leadership in our part-time citizen legislature — overseen by an engaged public

and a rigorous and independent media — is core to the integrity of our constitutional republic,” Carlyle said in a statement. “It’s a profound honor to serve as a state legislator. We are the quiet warriors in the trenches of representative democracy. I am proud that during my time leading the Senate’s climate strategy our state has passed the strongest, most comprehensive, and impactful suite of climate legislation in the United States. We are widely recognized as a premier leader in the world in tackling climate change as the most important issue of our era.

“Civic engagement is part of the soul of my DNA,” Carlyle continued. “I will remain passion-

ately and enthusiastically engaged at every level in the quality of life of our community. It is now time for me to consider new opportunities for leadership in other public and private sector arenas.

In gratitude for the overwhelming support I’ve enjoyed from voters, I want to repay that respect and voluntarily stand aside and allow sufficient time for everyone in our community to have a fair and equal chance to seek this important office.

“People elect us to listen, learn, do our homework and make good policy decisions and not tremble

COVID testing site open at Seattle Pacific University

Residents can now sign up for appointments to get tested for COVID-19 at Seattle Pacific University.

The Curative testing kiosk is open from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at SPU’s Student Union, 315 W. Bertona St. People can make an appointment via https:// book.curative.com/search?utm_ medium=email&utm_source=gov delivery#9/47.5357/-122.3503.

Because this is not a drive-up site, people can park in the SPU parking lots.

The new testing site was announced by Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell last week.

“As the Omicron variant continues to surge in our community and around the country so has demand for COVID-19 testing.

We know that testing — along with vaccines, masks, and social distancing — is key to tackling this pandemic, which is why Seattle is launching a new testing site and swifter tests through our partnership with Curative,” Harrell said in a press release.

Existing Curative sites at the

Paramount Theater, Convention Center and Garfield Playfield will be adding expanded capacity and a new type of rapid PCR test to deliver faster results later this month. Rapid PCR tests detect viral RNA, which is a more direct and sensitive method of detection, leading to higher accuracy of test within two hours. Locations for new rapid PCR tests include: Paramount Theatre, 911 Pine St.; open noon to 7 p.m.

WA State Convention Center, 705 Pike St.; open 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Garfield Playfield-Tennis Court, 501-653 25th Ave.; open 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Additional city testing sites include fixed locations with UW Medicine and Curative kiosks placed throughout Seattle Appointments are strongly encouraged at all locations and sites.

Because of an increase in testing volumes at all sites, longer wait times in line should be expected.

Results may take up to 48 to 72 hours for non-rapid PCR tests.

For more on any of the sites, visit www.seattle.gov/covid-19-testing.

State launches at-home rapid COVID-19 test portal In an effort to increase access to at-home rapid tests across the state, the Washington State Department of Health has launched a statewide portal that will allow COVID-19 tests to ship directly to households.

Washington state residents can visit www.sayyescovidhometest. org to order rapid-antigen COVID tests online, and will receive those tests delivered at no cost.

People can order up to five free tests for a household. Currently, supplies are limited, but tests will be restocked as they become available.

People can still get COVID-19 tests through any of the following options: • Order four free at-home COVID-19 tests through the federal program COVIDtests.gov.

• Purchase an at-home test at local retailers and pharmacies.

• For residents with health insurance, most insurers will now directly cover or reimburse up to eight at-home tests per month, for each person on a plan.

• Find a test at a nearby testing location.

It is possible to report a positive test result from an at-home test through the state’s COVID-19 hotline. Hotline personnel will determine next steps based on a resident’s zip code so results can be recorded and reported. Staff can also guide callers through any questions they may have.

The state hotline, 1-800-5250127 (then press #), is available from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday to Sunday. Language assistance is

available.

DOH encourages all smartphone users to download or enable WA Notify, https://www.doh. wa.gov/Emergencies/COVID19/ WANotify, for exposure notifications and to plug in positive results. Those using WA Notify at the time they test positive for COVID-19 can record their positive test results directly from their devices.

It is important to note that Washington is experiencing a surge of cases across the state, so if people who have symptoms should assume they have COVID-19 even if they don’t have a test to confirm it, and stay home if sick.

Man arrested after pulling gun on family in Magnolia

By Public Affairs

the man reportedly tapped the barrel of the gun on the victims’ car window, and the victims drove away.

The victims soon noticed the suspect was following them in his Suburban, flashing its high beams and pulling behind and next to their vehicle.

The victims called 911 and pulled into a gas station, where they met with officers.

When police contacted the suspect, he admitted he had several firearms in his vehicle. Police recovered three handguns, arrested the man for assault and harassment, and booked him into the King County Jail.

Seattle Police Department Police arrested a 62-year-old man for assault and harassment Jan. 18 after he pulled a gun on two brothers as they were teaching their mother to drive in Magnolia.

Around 10:45 p.m., the family called 911 and reported a man with a gun was following them in a black Chevrolet Suburban as they drove through Magnolia.

Police met the family at a gas station and contacted the Suburban driver a few blocks away.

The brothers — 19 and 24 —told officers they’d been teaching their 43-yearold mother to drive in the 2600 block of Thorndyke Avenue West when they saw a man out walking his dog.

The man approached their car, spoke

Dr. Universe: How does hail form?

During a thunderstorm, there are often lots of tiny water droplets in the clouds that form precipitation like water, snow or hail. But that precipitation doesn’t always fall right to the ground.

Sometimes a falling raindrop will get swept back up in a current of air. The air current can carry the raindrop to higher parts of the thunderstorm cloud where temperatures are below freezing.

Under these super cold temperatures, a raindrop will freeze.

Then, other water droplets will start clinging to the frozen droplet. This is how hail, or a hailstone, begins to form.

That’s what I found out from my friend Jonathan Contezac, a field meteorologist with AgWeatherNet at Washington State University.

“As long as the updraft within the storm is strong enough to keep this hailstone suspended in the atmosphere, it’ll continue to grow. If it gets too heavy, it will fall to the earth, or if the updraft weakens, it will fall to the earth,” Contezac said.

While it may not hail very often in places like San Diego, there are some regions that experience really intense hailstorms.

According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, Florida has the most thunderstorms, but Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming get the most hailstorms.

In the summer, when humidity and warmth fuels thunderstorms,

the region can experience anywhere from seven to nine days of hail. It’s no wonder this part of the country has even been given the name “hail alley.”

Often hailstones are about the size of a pea, but sometimes they can grow to the size of grapefruit.

Contezac told me that the size of a hailstone depends on how long it stays up in the storm. As the hailstone gets tossed around, new layers of ice can form around it.

In fact, if we look at a hailstone

cut in half, we might just be able to observe some icy rings. They would look sort of similar to the rings you might find if you sawed open a tree trunk.

The way the icy rings look can tell us a bit about the hailstone’s journey through the storm. A white, cloudy ring of ice means the water droplets froze very quickly as they met the hailstone.

The water froze so fast, some air bubbles were even left in the water which made it appear cloudy.

When we see a ring of clear ice, it tells us that droplets were freezing more slowly onto the hailstone. There was enough time for the air bubbles to escape before the water froze, so the ice looks clear.

While some hailstones make the journey to Earth’s surface, there are other hailstones that simply melt away on their journey down from the atmosphere.

Hail might make us take cover, but it sure makes me curious,

Naked in the garden

By Steve Lorton Tree Talk

W

inter in the Pacific Northwest allows us to see nature disrobed.

From November into March we get to enjoy the sculptural beauty of deciduous trees and shrubs out of leaf. This spectacle is at its peak in January. Autumn debris is raked away; Christmas lights are packed away. The low crawling sun shines its light on and through these powerful forms.

Chattering birds embellish branches, and the acrobatics of squirrels aren’t shrouded in foliage. Nature’s artful arrangement of branches and twigs juxtaposed against our muted silver skies is horticultural filigree. Low growers form a network over dormant beds or swaths of evergreen ground cover.

A spray of bare limbs and branches against a garden wall or the side of a house complement the architecture like a veil of loose lace over the face of an 18th century beauty. It’s an aesthetic that often goes undiscovered, but once ignited in the psyche, it can become a gentle and pleasing obsession.

In his poem “My November Guest,” Robert Frost celebrates the passions of a somewhat

cranky, officious woman with whom he is hopelessly in love.

“She loves the bare, the withered tree….” Frost tells us, attesting to her haughty but endearing ability to savor the subtle.

Once, when I was writing for a native born (and hopelessly geocentric) editor in California, I pitched a story on deciduous trees in winter. “Oh no!” he said in a condescending voice. “Readers don’t want to read about that.

Most species here are broadleafed evergreens … Western privilege trees.”

Western privilege trees? Please … I turned my back, rolled my eyes, but kept my cool. Then this dogmatic editor announced that he’d be going to a remote part of Asia for a month, pretty much out of touch, and his assistant editor would be in charge. His plane was barely off the runway when I pitched the story to the assistant, this time with photographs and a recitation of the entire Frost poem. I channeled my ancestors, the rolling grandiloquence of the Irish, the showmanship of the Jewish.

It worked! The story got approved and landed in print.

Positive comments from subscribers fell on the desk of our Readers Service Department like leaves in October. The real payoff

came when one of my sentences was quoted at the annual editorial conference as the the best line of the year: “When I visit a garden in winter and don’t see any defoliated deciduous trees and shrubs, I feel as if I’ve been to an art museum and haven’t seen any nudes.”

Smug as I felt about outfoxing that editor’s California horticultural arrogance, every glowing word I wrote about trees out of leaf was from the heart. I love them.

Oaks, with their massive and marvelous crowns, are among the most spectacular, towering above most everything around them. The delicacy of the deciduous magnolias is striking. Lofty and grand, Magnolia campbellii, M. dawsoniana and M. denudate punctuate the skyline. When it comes to intricacy of branching pattern and winter interest, nothing can surpass the common magnolia soulangeana. Little wonder it appears so often in Chinese scroll paintings.

Smaller, garden-scale trees for naked winter beauty are aplenty.

Crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia fauriei) gifts the garden with its smooth, blondish bark in addition to noble structure.

Savvy Senior: How to get your affairs in order

D

ear Savvy Senior, I would like to get my personal, legal and financial information organized so my kids will know what’s going on when I’m no longer around. Can you offer any tips on the best way to do this?

Unorganized Emma Dear Emma, Organizing your important papers and getting your personal and financial affairs in order is a smart idea and wonderful gift to your loved ones. Here are some tips to get you started.

typically two days, Health Services Administrator Joel Smith said.

While staff in regulated areas have always been tested twice a week to ensure their safety as well as that of Bayview’s most vulnerable residents, the weekly testing program is free and now open to independent living residents.

Combined with the environmental testing, this second community-wide test-based strategy has allowed Bayview to open up activities, events and programming.

Larger events that require eating or where social distancing is not possible are designated “test-only events,” which are open to all independent living residents, and require participants to show a negative test prior.

For Bayview’s purposes, a negative COVID test is good for seven days. The test is only “a snapshot of a moment of time when the test was taken,” however, Jill Chang, Bayview director of marketing and sales, said.

Advance health care directives: This includes a living will and medical power of attorney, which spell out your wishes regarding your end-of-life medical treatment when you can no longer make decisions for yourself.

FINANCIAL RECORDS Financial accounts: Make a list of all your bank accounts, brokerage and mutual fund accounts, and any other financial assets you have.

Weinbeck stated Bayview would not be able to provide residents with more social activities without Smith’s efforts to keep the community on a “straight and narrow path,” including parsing through data and making sure Bayview was doing everything appropriate to mitigate risks.

Smith said, in addition to following all state and federal rules and procedures, Bayview staff follow strict social and sanitary practices to ensure safety of everyone, including a daily cleaning regimen, social distancing and requiring face masks and hand hygiene.

The facility has also implemented screening procedures for staff and permitted visitors, as well as signage, COVID-19 education and safety training.

Smith said the only cost Bayview incurs is through the surface-based testing. He said Bayview pays $6,000 annually for the program.

“The surface-testing is a bit of an investment for Bayview,” he said. “It is something we hadn’t budgeted for but felt it was important to make that investment.”

Seattle Public Library temporarily reduces hours at most sites

As of last week, The Seattle Public Library temporarily reduced open hours at most locations in response to ongoing staff shortages related to the current surge of COVID-19 cases in the community.

“While our community navigates the current surge of COVID cases, we are making these reductions in order to provide a more consistent and reliable schedule for our patrons.” Interim Chief Librarian Tom Fay said in a press release. “We look forward to expanding hours once again when the COVID outlook improves and staffing levels stabilize. We appreciate our patrons’ patience and support as we continue to navigate ongoing impacts of the pandemic.”

The Library continues to hire and train new staff to build up its capacity to withstand future disruptions once the health outlook in the community improves.

The new, temporary schedule was created based on factors such as geographic spread, staffing availability in the region, and neighborhood use.

The Library is scheduling between two to four branches to be closed most days of the week, with additional closures scheduled on Saturdays.

The bark of Stewartia pseudocamellia is an out-of-leaf eye-catcher with its bark mottled in silver, gray, brown and shades of green. The cinnamon-colored bark of Stewartia monadelpha is equally stunning, shining like polished copper in the winter mist.

Japanese maples are a no-fail choice for year-around interest, not the least of which is their in-the-nude beauty. Several have very colorful bark: Acer palmatum “Sango-Kaku” for vibrant red winter twigs, A.p. “Bihou” for its yellow branches.

Our native vine maple Acer circinatum couples perfect city garden scale with a handsome arrangement of branches and interesting bark. The newly introduced A.c. “Pacific Fire” has creamy yellow and coral red stems to enliven any winter garden.

The dogwoods Cornus florida and C. kousa are known for their bouquets of bare twigs. Their shrubby cousins, the redtwig dogwood (C. stolonoifera) and yellowtwig dogwood (C. s.

“Flaviramiea”) will light up the dreariest of January days with vivid bark.

The Pacific Northwest’s mild winters invite planting in all but the few days when the temperature drops below freezing.

“Now is a perfect time to scout nurseries and make additions to your garden. Nurseries will be sparsely populated with customers, and the staffs are eager to dispense advice.”

Getting plants in the ground now still gives them time to establish before summer heat and drought sets in. They’ll send out roots in what is left of winter and in our cool, moist spring, making the plants more adept at absorbing hot season irrigation.

Now is a perfect time to scout nurseries and make additions to your garden. Nurseries will be sparsely populated with customers, and the staffs are eager to dispense advice. Offerings will be surprising: dozens of conifers, early flowering trees like Chinese witch hazel and cornelian cherry, a vast array of broad-leafed evergreens and the seductively beautiful sculptural branches of trees and shrubs out of leaf. You’ll likely ask yourself, “With all there is to choose from, what shall I get?”

My advice is simple: Get naked!

Two police use-of-force bills pass out of House committee

By Brett Davis

The Center Square contributor A pair of bills meant to clear up confusion around police accountability laws in Washington state moved another step closer to a floor vote in the House Thursday afternoon.

House Bill 1719 clarifies that police can still use certain lessthan-lethal weapons. House Bill 1735 clarifies that police can still use force to transport people to treatment when those people are suffering a mental health crisis.

Both passed unanimously out of the House Public Safety Committee with a do-pass recommendation.

The legislation comes in response to laws passed by the legislature last year and signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee that law enforcement leaders say make it difficult for police to do their jobs.

HB 1719 specifically addresses what was a prohibition on firearms over .50 caliber. Legislation last year, House Bill 1054, inadvertently banned the use of less-lethal munitions launchers and beanbag rounds for shotguns.

“This bill will clarify the intent on the prohibition of .50 caliber weapons so that it only applies to rifles and not shotguns or less-lethal ammunition launch-

ers, which is what we originally intended,” said Rep. Jesse Johnson, D-Federal Way, who sponsored both the initial legislation and the bill to correct that mistake.

He went on to say, “We heard from several law enforcement agencies that unfortunately had to put these less-lethal ammunitions back on the shelves. And we do not want that.”

The other piece of new legislation, HB 1735, is meant to tweak last year’s House Bill 1310 that limits the situations in which police officers can use physical force.

According to HB 1310, police are allowed to use physical force when there is probable cause to make an arrest for a crime, as well as to prevent someone from escaping after they’ve been arrested or jailed. Furthermore, officers can use physical force to protect against “an imminent threat of bodily injury,” either to the officer, the person the officer is responding to, or someone else.

Some law enforcement professionals have interpreted HB 1310 to say they can’t physically restrain someone who is experiencing a mental health episode. Others have said the law makes it pointless for officers to respond at all to mental health calls.

“Because of the actions of this committee and the legislature, this last year we have had nearly intol-

erable working conditions that the bill did not, as originally passed, contemplate,” explained Rep. Dan Griffey, R-Allyn, a fire service lieutenant and emergency medical technician with the Central Mason Fire Department in Shelton.

“We do use force at times to save people’s lives.”

HB 1735 gives police officers the authority to use physical force, to the extent necessary, to take an individual into custody or provide assistance under the Involuntary Treatment Act and other behavior health statutes, take a minor into protective custody, or execute or enforce a court order.

It clarifies the police officers are not prohibited from performing lifesaving measures and community caretaking functions such as welfare checks or assisting first responders and medical professionals.

“This bill will provide the much-needed clarity for law enforcement to assist in behavioral health, mental health situations that require involuntary commitment, child welfare and community caretaking,” said Johnson, who sponsored both HB 1735 and HB 1310.

More changes are expected to police reforms bills passed last year during the 2022 60-day legislative session that convened on Jan. 10.

The most popular book checked out last year from The Seattle Public Library was “The Vanishing Half ” by Brit Bennett, the selection for the Library’s 2021 Seattle Reads program. The bestselling novel was checked out in digital and physical formats 11,400 times, more than any other fiction or nonfiction title.
