Campaign to clean up Uptown Residents create committee to tidy QA neighborhood

The Uptown Alliance has a new subcommittee aimed at cleaning up Uptown in Queen Anne. Lisa Power, an owner of a salon and a condo in Uptown, and two other women formed the Tidy Uptown Committee, which was adopted as an Uptown Alliance subcommittee at its December meeting. The first event was a cooperative litter pickup Sunday, which Power said was a first step in establishing more civic and community pride in the neighborhood. “I feel like we have to take matters into our own hands and pick-up litter,” she said. “That’s something we can do boots on the ground and make a positive change and have a positive effect.” That’s part of the rationale behind the new committee, which Power co-chairs with Uptown residents Heather Pihl and Michele O’Connell. “I’d rather take action and be part of the solution then just complain about a problem,” Power said. She said the committee would like to take larger steps to clean up Uptown, which have

SPU entering new phase of plan Public invited to comment on scope of environmental impact statement through mid-January By Jessica Keller
QA&Mag News editor Seattle Pacific University has entered a new phase in creating a 20-year Major Institution Master Plan, and the public has an opportunity to comment. When complete, the SPU master plan will identify the university’s visions for growth in
the next 20 years. It will include development zoning standards to accommodate the planned growth and minimize negative impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. “A new MIMP will identify the best opportunities to maintain and improve SPU’s exceptional learning environment by adjusting existing academic and support-related spaces while accommodating growth as a respectful member of
the Queen Anne neighborhood,” according to a Seattle Pacific University press release on the master plan process. As part of its master plan, the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections will conduct an environmental review of the master plan, and the public is invited to comment on the scope of the Environmental Impact Statement — helping to narrow the focus of the study and identify significant environmental impacts that may occur as a result of the Major Institution Master Plan. “The scoping process is the beginning of the public’s opportunity to participate in the master
planning process and in environmental review,” according to the SPU press release. At its December Citizens Advisory Committee, members discussed the scoping and identified things they would most like included in the study, such as parking and impacts on neighbors from additional residence halls. Preliminary scoping areas include height, bulk and scale; land use; parking; traffic and transportation; and shadows on open space. Seattle Pacific University As-

sistant Vice President for Facility Management Dave Church said public comment is important because it helps the university identify environmental issues that matter most to its neighbors. “Even if SDCI ultimately doesn’t decide to study a particular subject in the EIS, the public comment can still inform the university’s development plans,” Church said in an email. According to Bryan Stevens, SDCI director of media relations and permit coordination, over the next four to six months, the preliminary draft master plan and preliminary draft EIS will be prepared with input from the Citizens Advisory Committee. The public will have an opportunity to comment at each monthly CAC meeting. SDCI will also will also host a public hearing and accept comments on the draft master plan and draft EIS within a year.

How many black holes are in the universe? While we can’t see black holes with our eyes, astronomers have figured out how to spot these objects in our universe. One astronomer who is really curious about understanding black holes is my friend Sukanta Bose, a researcher at Washington State University. First, he told me there are different kinds of black holes. Supermassive black holes can be millions to billions of times the mass of the Sun. We have a supermassive black hole in our own Milky Way galaxy called Sagittarius A*, which is pronounced as Sagittarius A-star. Scientists think supermassive black holes may be found in the center of most large galaxies. If you are anything like me, you might be wondering: Why not just count all the different galaxies to find the number of black holes? “Of course, we cannot see every galaxy,” Bose said. “We see many galaxies that are closer because they are brighter.” For galaxies that are farther away, you have to use very powerful telescopes, he adds. That also means we have to make an inference about the number of galaxies in the universe. An inference is an educated guess based on evidence and current knowledge about how things work.
Using telescopes, math and their inference skills, astronomers estimate there are hundreds of billions of galaxies and likely hundreds of billions of supermassive black holes — that’s just in the observable universe. Bose told me there’s another kind of black hole that sometimes forms when a star dies and collapses in on itself. We call these stellar mass black holes. The Sun is a star, but it is far too small to become a black hole. Only heavier stars make black holes. When it comes to stellar mass black holes, astronomers estimate there are ten million to a billion right here in the Milky Way galaxy.
On the hunt for these massive objects, scientists often look for different interactions among stars or gases, clues that there may be a black hole in the neighborhood. For instance, when a black hole and a companion star are in a tight orbit, their interaction can sometimes create high energy light we can’t see, but that scientists can detect with their high-tech tools. “When you open a new way of probing the universe, you see objects that challenge your previous wisdom or theories,” Bose said. Bose and fellow researchers have been able to spot black holes because of a new way to detect
something called gravitational waves. When two black holes collide, they can create a kind of wave that brings information to Earth about its source and helps us learn more about the universe. It’s a bit like listening for sound waves from particular instruments in an orchestra, Bose said. But instead of picking out the sound of a cello or a flute, they are listening for gravitational waves from those colliding black holes. Who knows, maybe one day you can help us learn more about black holes and discover ways to help astronomers count them all. Sincerely, Dr. Universe
Letter to the editor: More support for local restaurants needed As you know, Gov. Inslee announced several statewide restrictions to help curb the spread of coronavirus, taking effect on Nov. 18, 2020. The restrictions include prohibiting dine-in for restaurants. This is the second wave of dinein closures severely impacting the restaurant industry. Restaurants were previously closed for dine-in for over 12 weeks, starting March 15 and have been operating at limited dine-in capacity since the closure. Dine-in accounts for 50 to 75 percent of the revenue for restaurants, leading to short falls of over 50 percent since March. Many local restaurants have exhausted their options. Most, including Bite Box of Queen Anne, have applied for the Payroll Protection Program provided by the Small Business Administration, deferred payments for employee Social Security tax provided by the IRS, applied for state and county grants, deferred rental payments to their landlords, and applied for banks loans. The recent shutdown that went into effect did so without a plan of support on the part of our local government. Many restaurants will not survive this second closure without such a plan. Historically, the restaurant industry operates with slim margins, averaging 5 percent profits. Restaurant operating costs have increased exponentially due to COVID-19. The cost to purchase take-out packaging has increased
up to 3.5 times pre-COVID-19. Most restaurants in Seattle are offering take-out only. For these restaurants, 100 percent of the meals sold require to-go packaging. The increased cost per take-out package translates to restaurants making less on every meal sold. COVID-19 has also introduced other new costs, further eroding into already thin margins. Restaurants are now required to purchase personal protective equipment for essential employees and spend additional funds to clean their restaurants with greater attention and care during the pandemic. Insurance costs have also increased for the industry to offset the risks of operating a small business at this time. For example, Bite Box recently had the glass of the front door broken into and the cash register removed from their establishment. Some of these costs were not covered by insurance, eating even further into profits. Although outdoor dining is permitted, this may or may not be feasible for some Seattle restaurants due to rain and the lack of outdoor infrastructure. Many restaurants have experienced low cashflow for the past eight months, making it very difficult for them to spend additional capital on outdoor seating. This includes the cost of creating public spaces on the street, purchasing/ installing covers for outdoor dining set-ups, lights, electricity and heaters for the winter months. To support small businesses,
with Bite Box specifically in mind, we propose the following to the Seattle City Council: 1. Waive sales tax on small businesses and restaurants for the foreseeable future.
2. Waive property tax collection for commercial real-estate housing restaurants for the foreseeable future. 3. Waive sales tax on capital equipment supporting the restaurant industry within Seattle/ Washington State, stabilizing the costs of to-go containers and products. 4. Establish tax refunds and/ or subsidies for businesses who must buy to-go products, personal protective equipment and outdoor

TO YOUR HEALTH Inslee announces COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan for Washingtonians Inslee office news release Saturday, Gov. Jay Inslee announced the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup the authorization of the first COVID-19 vaccine. The Western States Workgroup, comprised of vaccine experts from Washington, California, Oregon and Nevada, have been meeting to review the data and analysis to ensure the safety and efficacy of all vaccines federally authorized, according to a press release. Recently, the Federal Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gave initial authorization to the Pfizer BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. “I’m pleased that the Western States Workgroup gave their unanimous recommendation to the vaccine last night and encourages immediate use of the vaccine

Gov. Jay Inslee in our states,” Inslee said during a press conference Sunday morning. “It cannot come soon enough — with Washington closing in on 200,000 total COVID cases and approaching 3,000 deaths — this help is much needed to prevent further infection, hospitalization and loss of life.” Workgroup members hope that the independent review inspires
confidence in Washingtonians around the vaccine’s safety, according to the press release. “After looking at all of the available data, our workgroup unanimously agreed that at this time the benefits of this vaccine greatly exceed any theoretical risks,” workgroup member Dr. John Dunn said. “I personally am reassured by the safety profile and look forward to being vaccinated as soon as I am eligible.” According to the press release, the first of the vaccine doses were expected to start arriving from the federal government Monday while the first vaccines could be administered as soon as Tuesday. Vaccinations will first be administered in health care and long-term care facilities and tribal governments across the state, the press release stated. Health systems and local public health departments are preparing for the
Inslee extends, modifies statewide restrictions Last week, Gov. Jay Inslee extended statewide restrictions imposed on Nov. 17 to Jan. 4, 2021. Modifications to the Stay Safe, Stay Healthy Proclamation 2025.9 include prohibiting indoor singing with persons outside of a household but allowing outdoor singing while wearing a face covering in most circumstances, including religious and faithbased services, weddings and funerals, according to an announcement on the governor’s website, https://www.governor.wa.gov/. The proclamation expressly exempts recovery support groups from the new restrictions. The full proclamation is available at https://www.governor. wa.gov/sites/default/files/proclamations/proc_20-25.9.pdf. arrival and distribution of the vaccine. Inslee said residents should still take precautions against COVID-19. “We can’t let up on masking, physical distancing and restrictions on indoor activities,” he said in the press release. “We need to continue to slow the rate of infec-

rom March to December 2020, this year will be remembered — and it isn’t over yet. The global pandemic has reached into every aspect of all our lives and taken away our sense of predictability and security, but not without glimmers of hope on the horizon. Until those glimmers become bright and shining beacons of light, however, we must continue to focus on what we can control in our own lives, homes and communities. As we head into the Christmas period, it is my hope that we all take the time to focus on what matters most during the global war against COVID-19: the health and wellbeing of ourselves, our families and our communities. What can you do right now? The most important thing that you can do is focus on what you can control: your health, your actions and on your home and work environment. In terms of your health, we all need to be creative in terms of how we stay active and fit and find ways to move well. But most importantly, we need to address all health concerns when they arise because neglecting your health right now will ultimately put more strain on your health and support system in the long

The primitive communities occupied by our ancestors relied on signals from other humans in close proximity to them, to learn about imminent and visible threats. These signals came in the form of both verbal and nonverbal cues that shaped what we know now as the modern-day community. Furthermore, humans have relied on technological advancement to survive, from the invention of the wheel to the lightbulb, to modern day science. It is because of these technological advancements and our ability to effectively communicate and organize around environmental threats that we have managed to survive throughout the centuries. In the face of this invisible threat, we can win this war, but we have to do it together, and we need your help. — Dr. Dan Michael is a chiropractic physician at NW Sports Rehab in Seattle.

During the season of giving, Red Cross urges blood donations The Red Cross is urging people to donate blood or platelets this holiday season to ensure there is enough blood available to help people in need. All blood types are needed to ensure hospitals remain stocked. People can make an appointment to give blood, platelets or plasma with the Red Cross by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800RED CROSS. An opportunity to donate blood in Seattle is scheduled from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Dec. 28 at the American Red Cross Seattle Chapter, 1900 25th Ave. S. The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether an individual developed COVID-19 symptoms. Red Cross antibody tests will be helpful to identify individuals who have COVID-19 antibodies and may now help current coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions. Convalescent plasma is a type of blood donation collected from COVID-19 survivors that have antibodies that may help patients who are actively fighting the virus. Learn more about convalescent plasma and sign up to give at RedCrossBlood.org/Plasma4COVID.

PARTIES - JURISDICTION 1. This lawsuit arises out of an automobile collision that occurred on Southbound I-5 near milepost 167 and the Mercer Island exit in King County, Washington. 2. Plaintiff Daniel Aicher (“Aicher”) is resident of Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. 3. Upon information and belief, Defendants Khyri Edwards (hereinafter “Defendant Edwards”) and Jane Doe Edwards are residents of Pierce County, Washington. 4. Defendant Pinchiff Mechanical LLC (hereinafter “Defendant Pinchiff Mechanical”), is a HVAC design and installation company that is licensed to do business in the State of Washington with its principal office in Seattle, King County, Washington. 5. At the time of the events set forth herein, Defendant Edwards, was an employee, servant and/or agent of Defendant Pinchiff Mechanical, acting within the course and scope of employment or under its direct control or under such other circumstances as to justify imputing responsibility for the careless, negligent and reckless acts complained of herein. 6. This Court has jurisdiction and venue over the Defendants, the subject matter and persons of the parties pursuant to RCW 4.12.020(3) and RCW 4.12.025. II. FACTS OF CLAIM 7. On August 18, 2017, Plaintiff Aicher was driving his 2008 Hyundai Accent with his wife, LeAnn Aicher, in the front passenger seat. They were traveling southbound in the number two lane of I-5 passing milepost 167 and the Mercer Island exit. 8. Defendant Edwards was driving a 2000 Isuzu NPR box truck belonging to Defendant Pinchiff Mechanical. He was traveling southbound in the number two lane of I-5 directly behind Plaintiff Aicher. Defendant Edwards looked back and when he turned to look forward again traffic had slowed. Defendant Edwards steered left in an attempt to avoid colliding with the Plaintiff Aicher, but was unsuccessful. Defendant Edwards struck Plaintiff Aicher’s vehicle and then struck another vehicle driven by Michael O’Brien. III. FAULT OF DEFENDANTS 9. The foregoing collision was the proximate result of the negligence of Defendant Edwards, who was operating in the course and scope of his employment with Defendant Pinchiff Mechanical, creating vicarious liability for Defendant Pinchiff Mechanical. IV. INJURIES AND DAMAGES 10. As a direct and proximate result of the foregoing negligence of Defendants, Plaintiff Aicher suffered bodily injuries and has suf-
fered economic and noneconomic damages in amounts to be proven at trial. V. 11. Plaintiff hereby waives the physician patient privilege ONLY to the extent required by RCW 5.60.060, as limited by the Plaintiff’s constitutional rights of privacy, contractual rights of privacy, and the ethical obligations of physicians and attorneys not to engage in ex parte contact between a treating physician and the patient’s legal adversaries. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment against the Defendants, jointly and severally, in an amount that will fairly compensate Plaintiff for all damages sustained, physical disability and pain, emotional trauma, medical expenses, wage loss, costs and reasonable attorney’s fees, interest calculated at the maximum amount allowable by law, and other relief the Court deems just.

Unexpected Productions featuring ‘A (Very Special Improvised’) Christmas Carol
UPTOWN, FROM PAGE 1 been experiencing problems with litter and vandalism. Because she lives and works in Uptown, Power said she sees the effects of these issues every day. “To be honest, it kind of adds to the sadness of the pandemic,” she said. “It just adds to the tough time that everybody’s been experiencing. So, let’s clean it up.” Power said she, Pihl and O’Connell started the committee about a month ago, which began with a conversation with District 7 City Councilmember Andrew Lewis, and just recently became an official subcommittee of the Uptown Alliance. Power said O’Connell is a client at her salon and they would see each other at City Council meetings in the past. She met Pihl, who used to work for the city in the anti-graffiti department and is very knowledgeable about subject, on the Next Door social media site. Power said graffiti is also high on their list of priorities to tackle, as well, and they have begun sending out letters to building owners with vacant buildings about possibly boarding up walls with plywood and having them painted with murals, which might deter future graffiti and tagging. Power said they also want to explore having the graffiti removed at Counter-Balance Park, which is at the corner of Queen Anne Avenue and Roy Street, and having the walls repainted. Currently, the walls are spray painted primarily with Black
The public is invited to join Unexpected Productions for “A (Very Special Improvised) Christmas Carol” Saturday, with a preshow at 6:30 p.m. and event at 7 p.m. A (Very Special Improvised) Christmas Carol will stream live from the Market Theatre in the heart of Pike Place Market and will benefit the reopening efforts of Unexpected Productions. A $50 Family Ticket, which can be purchased at eventbrite. com/e/a-very-special-improvised-christmas-carol-online1219-tickets-129350225005 will provide people with a link to live-stream to their home. The event will feature Unexpected Productions’ staff sharing stories and videos of UP’s past and present as the company progresses toward a safe reopening in the future. Then the UP cast will present an improvised version of Charles Dickens’s holiday classic. According to the performance announcement, to survive the pandemic, Unexpected Productions has cut expenses by more than half and received a PPP loan and multiple COVID-19 relief grants, sparing it from having to use its reserves. The grant money has dried up, however, and Unexpected Productions Board is hoping to raise $75,000 to help rebuild its reserves and allow the theater
Photo by Jessica Keller Rather than graffiti, members of the Tidy Uptown subcommittee of the Uptown Alliance would rather see murals or other artwork adorning the sides of buildings, such as this one on Queen Anne Avenue. Tidy Uptown members are looking for volunteers and donations of supplies to improve the overall look of the neighborhood. Lives Matter messages and the names of victims of police violence. Power said the idea of having buildings adorned with murals and artwork from local artists ties in with Uptown being recognized as an art district. She believes that artwork would not only improve the look of Uptown, it might heal some of the problems in the neighborhood. “In other communities, we’ve found that is an effective way to prevent other graffiti and tagging,” Power said, adding they have already found muralists willing to help and will be reaching out to more. The committee is also seeking
volunteers and donations, such as paint and art supplies and possibly even plywood to be used for the murals. Power said the Tidy Uptown campaign was inspired by a similar effort in Ireland in the 1950s to uplift and promote tourism in towns left downtrodden after World War II. In that initiative, walls were painted with vibrant colors as a specific directive from the government. “We need to be uplifted,” Power said. “We need to beautify our committee. We want to make Uptown a destination. We are a destination.” Email Power at lisa@lisapowersalon.com.
company to reopen when allowed in the future. “Nearly 37 years ago, Unexpected Productions began as a small group of scrappy young comedians who were founding the improv movement in Seattle,” UP Board President Rich Hawkins said in the announcement. “We decided to bring our efforts together, all to impact Seattle in a new way. From there, we founded Unexpected Productions, which quickly grew to become a Seattle comedy institution here at the Gum Wall (which we started!) right in the heart of Seattle in Pike Place Market.” Through the years, the improv company has built an ensemble, teaching staff and loyal audience, Artist Director Randy Dixon said in the announcement. “Unexpected Productions is dedicated to the art and spirit of improvisation and making it accessible to everyone,” Dixon said. “Improv is more than just an art form. Unexpected Productions also believes in a community taking care of each other. It is the core of all that we do.” UP has taken a number of steps, following guidelines from the Department of Health and governor’s office, to ensure the theater is safe for staff and players when they return, according to the announcement.
