District 36 legislators share progress report from session

By Jessica Keller Queen Anne & Magnolia News editor

While not all of their bills and priorities are still in play in Olympia this legislative session, the District 36 representatives have plenty of legislation keeping them busy before the end of the session, April 23. At a virtual town hall meeting last week, Sen. Noel Frame, Rep. Liz Berry and Rep. Julia Reed answered viewers questions about bill progress during the current legislative session taking place in Olympia and priorities moving forward.

Wealth tax

Frame, who is serving as the vice chair of the Senate Housing Committee, the vice chair of the Senate Business, Finan-

cial Services, Gaming & Trade Committee and is a member of the Senate Human Services Committee, spoke about the wealth tax legislation she and other Democrats have been working on, Senate bill 5486, which would ensure the state’s wealthiest residents would pay property taxes on their assets.

She said Washingtonians pay property taxes on their homes, whether they own them or not, which is already a tax on wealth on the middle class.

“And all we’re saying is that the wealthiest among us should pay taxes on their assets just like we all already pay taxes on ours,” Frame said. is is the third session this legislation has been introduced, and she is hopeful it will get passed this session, especially as the Legislature received a report that the state will receive about $1 billion in revenue to work with in budgeting. On the other hand, the wealth tax

would bring in $3 billion in new revenue, Frame said.

“We have some really expensive, big ticket items that our constituents care about: special education, a ordable housing, and when we are talking about a billion dollars less of revenue to work with, well, it’s either cut programs or raise revenue, and we’ve got really important programs to pay for like special ed and housing, so I hope my colleagues will take it seriously,” Frame said.

Transportation

Regarding e orts to make roads safer for pedestrians and bicyclists, Reed said she received some bad news about a bill that would prohibit right turns on red lights, which she said are one of the big problems in lower Queen Anne, speci cally on

Timothy Ira Moody, 1948-2022, was born and raised on Queen Anne hill. He was a proud Queen Anne Grizzly and 1966 alumni.

As a youth, Tim found his passion for athletics. It was football in the fall, basketball in the winter, and in the spring and summer it was all baseball.

He began his baseball coaching career in Magnolia as a longtime community baseball coach for his son Heath’s teams.

Many Magnolia families bene ted from their sons’ instruction during the time spent playing for Coach Moody. Championships were won, memories were made and future coaches were inspired.

About the time Queen Anne High closed, Heath Moody was heading for high school, and that meant he would be a Franklin High Quaker.

Coach Moody saw that football coach Joe Sly was short-sta ed and needed some help, and thus began a chapter in Quaker athletics that included supporting the boys basketball program as a traveling scorekeeper with Tim’s wife, Sherry; 25 years as head coach of the baseball team, including metro championships; and nishing up as the head golf coach at Franklin.

In 2016, Coach Moody was honored at an all-school assembly with a “Lifetime Achievement in Coaching

Award.”

Tim Moody was known as a guy who was in it for the right reasons. He was always there and ready to step into any situation needed to support the players.

“Tim and Sherry devoted so much time to the Franklin Community year after year,” said Lucas Dobbs, assistant principal of academics (O’Dea) / former assistant baseball coach (Franklin).

A life of service to others must be honored. To that end, Family and Friends have created the “Coach Moody Scholarship” at Franklin High School. is spring, ve Franklin High graduating seniors will each receive a $2,000 tuition scholarship to a trade school. It will be a life-changing event for the recipients. If Coach Tim and Sherry Moody had an impact on your life, and/or you would like to support the “Coach Moody Scholarship,” please contact Malcolm Boyles at malcolm_boyles@hotmail.com or 425-273-6252 for more information. is charitable gift is managed through the Franklin High School Alumni Association and Foundation and is tax-deductible.

Seattle increasing parking rates in two-thirds of city

By Spencer Pauley e Center Square

Seattleites will see paid parking rates in two-thirds of the city increase, beginning this week.

e majority of paid parking areas in the city will see a rate increase in the afternoon and evening hours. Morning periods will remain steady or decrease with rates mostly at 50 cents or $1 per hour. e changes went into e ect Monday.

“ is seasonal adjustment is part of our regular process to help ensure enough parking is available, based on the latest real-world usage data and seasonal trends,” the Seattle Department of Transportation said in a statement.

e Seattle Department of Transportation said that parking activity in the city has been increasing since last year. Seattle suspended on-street parking rates in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue losses for 2020, relative to 2019 were about $28 million, falling from $38.3 million to $10.4 million, according to city statistics. Revenues in 2021 increased slightly to $11 million. e city brought in approximately $19.8 million in total parking revenue in 2022.

e city expects revenue to substantially increase “to $30.9 and $37.7 million in 2023 and 2024 respectively.”

Revenue generated by on-street parking fees go to the city’s general fund, which is utilized for improve-

ments such as bike and pedestrian infrastructure upgrades, bridge safety projects and general mobility improvements.

Parking locations in Fremont, the Pike and Pine Street Corridor and South Capitol Hill will have the highest hourly rates amongst the increases, at $4.50 per hour. Some areas are seeing steady decreases in parking rates. For instance, the First Hill District parking rates were $5 per hour in early 2020. ey now range from $2.00 to $3.50 per hour, depending on the time of day.

A number of parking rates remain lower than they were before the pandemic, particularly in and around downtown Seattle, according to the department.

FRESH

Everyone has his or her own idea of comfort food. For some, it is biting into a piping-hot slice of pepperoni pizza. Others can’t get enough of a hearty bowl of beef stew.

Snack foods also can be categorized as comfort foods — and potato chips (or “crisps” as they’re known across the pond) are no exception. Potato chips come in different flavors and cuts, including crinkle and kettle chips. While it’s easy to pick up a bag at the

CHIPS CAN’T BE BEAT

store, why not whip up a fresh batch right at home? You will have complete control over the ingredients and enjoy the freshest chips around. Try this recipe for “Homemade Potato Chips” courtesy of home cook and country living blogger Kathy from Beyond the Chicken Coop.

Homemade Potato Chips

• 6 medium russet potatoes

• 2 tablespoons white vinegar

• Water

• Oil for frying (vegetable, canola or peanut oil)

• Salt

1. Peel potatoes and place potato in a bowl filled with water.

2. Slice potatoes to 1⁄16-inch thick. Use a mandoline to get an even, consistent size. Immediately place sliced potatoes in another bowl filled with cold water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar. Allow potatoes to soak for at least 1 hour.

3. Drain potatoes and rinse with cold water. Leave pota -

toes in colander and allow all water to drain.

4. Place drained potatoes on a clean, dry kitchen towel. Pat lightly to remove any remaining water.

5. Fill pot with 2 inches of oil. Preheat oil to 380 F. Use a thermometer to test temperature of oil.

6. Test oil temperature. Ideal temperature will vary from 370 to 380 F. Fry one or two slices in the oil and cook until they are nicely browned. If the potatoes brown quicker than 3 minutes, lower the temperature by 5 degrees.

7. Place one handful of sliced potatoes in the oil. Stir gently to prevent potatoes from sticking to each other. Cook until golden; 3 minutes.

8. Scoop out and place on a baking sheet lined with a baking rack.

9. Sprinkle with salt immediately and repeat until all potatoes are cooked.

Tips: Soaking the potatoes helps remove excess starch and prevents the potatoes from sticking together. It also helps them fry up more crispy. Chips are best eaten the day they are made. Store in an airtight container for up to two days.

These workouts will have you climbing the walls

Rock your workout at Seattle’s climbing gyms

By Erica Browne Grivas Contributing writer

If you are looking to invigorate your workout routine, try one of Seattle’s many indoor climbing gyms for a full-body workout that will wake up countless minute muscles.

Avid climbers say you will be having so much fun you didn’t feel like you were working out — until the next day, that is.

In 2021, 5.6 million people nationwide were climbing the walls for fun, and Seattle, the home of the first indoor climbing gym, is right on-trend with gyms all over town. (statista.com/statistics/763788/climbing-sportindoor-boulder-participantsus/)

There are two main types of climbing. Rock climbing focuses on vertical rise and uses scaling equipment like ropes and harnesses, and a partner to help manage your rope — a belayer. Bouldering involves mastering shorter, more lateral courses called “problems,” and climbers work without harnesses above padded surfaces.

If you are new to climbing, you shouldn’t need any special equipment — most gyms will rent shoes, or you can use your regular sneakers at first — but ask the gym about their best activities for beginners. You may need to book a lesson or guided session.

Here’s the beta (climber talk for key info on a climbing route) on a few gyms where you can hone that Spiderman grip in any weather:

Vertical World

2330 W. Commodore Way, Seattle, (206) 283-4497

SESSION, FROM PAGE 1

The O.G. — the first in the country, it began with rocks glued to plywood in 1987 and now has locations in Seattle, Redmond and Lynwood featuring state-of-the-art equipment. Climbers must be 14 and older. For your debut climb, staff recommend you take the Intro to Climbing class or have an experienced belayer with you who can pass the Belay Check test. You can also advance book a “Rock Climbing Experience” with a staff belayer.

Edgeworks Climbing and Fitness

2839 N.W. Market St., Seattle, (206) 781-9828

Formerly Stone Gardens,

this Ballard fixture was recently acquired by Tacoma’s Edgeworks Climbing. It offers over 17,500 square feet of climbing terrain, including a windowed climb facing the Burke-Gilman Trail and a 40-foot outdoor wall and bouldering courses. Beginner or climbing solo? Sign up for the “Pro Belay” with a staff belayer. Children under 14 are welcome with adult supervision. Offers a BIPOC-guide training program.

An early bouldering pioneer in 2011, SBO now has several locations: the Poplar gym near Judkins Park and two in Fremont. The main gym includes a café, weight room and sauna, and the quieter, pared-down Upper Walls facility is for people who want to boulder sans distraction. Look for a new branch in the University District in fall 2023 in the landmark University National Bank Building.

Momentum Indoor

Climbing

2759 First Ave. South, Seattle, (206) 588-1510

This outpost of a Utah gym in SoDo offers an intimate space to practice bouldering and runs an adult league to meet fellow rock-heads.

Mercer Street. That bill, she said, did not advance but is something she intends to keep working on.

On the other hand, Senate bill 5583, which would improve young driver safety, is still active. Reed said legislators learned this year that the group of people responsible for the greatest number of vehicular homicides or fatal car crashes is between the ages of 18 and 25, not the elderly or beginning drivers.

She said because Washington no longer offers drivers education programs in school, people are waiting until they are 18 to get their licenses.

“And then you have to pass the drivers exam, but you don’t have to take drivers ed,” Reed said.

She said the Senate bill would require drivers between ages 22 and 24 who have not taken drivers education to take either a condensed traffic safety course or drivers ed course. It also includes vouchers to cover the cost of a drivers school class because

“Moving forward, I would personally like to see driver’s ed return to our schools, and that is something I want to try to work on with our pedestrian safety community in the future,” Reed said.

Gun safety

When asked about keeping children safe in schools, Berry, who is a proponent of gun legislation, spoke about the efforts to improve gun safety laws in the state after previous efforts to ban high-capacity magazines and ghost guns succeeded.

“You may not know this, but gun violence is now the No. 1 killer of children in America. Let that sink in. As a mom, this is absolutely devastating to me,” Berry said. “Kids, high school students, elementary students are marching in the streets demanding that people in positions of power do something about this, and that’s exactly what this legislature intends to do this year.”

She said three bills that are currently still in play, including a ban on assault weapons. Another is one she sponsored that that would require a 10-day waiting period and safety training for all purchases in the state. The last would hold gun manufacturers and dealers accountable for selling or advertising guns to people who should not have them, Berry said.

One bill that she was disappointed did not advance would have required people to have a permit to purchase a firearm, with mandatory background checks and fingerprinting.

“And fingerprinting is key to preventing straw purchases, which are folks who go into buy guns for people who shouldn’t get them,” she said.

Sound Transit to consider light rail routes outside of Seattle’s Chinatown

By Spencer Pauley The Center Square

In a room full of residents of Seattle’s Chinatown-International District, the Sound Transit Board agreed to include two stations north and south of the district in its study for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions Project.

Along with potential stations north and south of the Chinatown District, the alternative routes on Fourth Avenue are still being considered.

Sound Transit had found that all Chinatown-International District Segment alternatives would have an adverse effect on the historic district during construction. The Center Square previously reported on the district’s residents and business owners speaking out against construction on a proposed 5th Avenue alternative route, saying that it would close nearby streets that are key to commercial and cultural activity.

Construction noise and visual impacts were also mentioned as hindrances to small communal gatherings within the area.

The Seattle Chinatown-International District Preservation and Development Authority wrote a letter urging the Sound Transit board of directors to select the 4th Avenue Shallow alignment as the preferred alternative for the West Seattle and Ballard Link Extensions.

The estimated $14.1 billion project is still in the planning stages of development, with a delivery target year of 2037. The project seeks to provide fast, reliable light rail connections to dense residential and job centers throughout the region, according to the Sound Transit website. In addition, the transit authority anticipates a new downtown Seattle light rail tunnel to provide capacity for the entire regional system to operate efficiently.

Seattle Mayor and Sound Transit Board Member Bruce Harrell proposed a substitute motion that would advance the North of Chinatown and South of Chinatown stations to serve the ChinatownInternational District and Pioneer Square.

“This neighborhood should not once again bear the brunt of disproportionate construction impacts,” Harrell said in a statement prior to the Sound Transit board meeting. “With viable alternatives in the North and South of CID stations to provide local and regional mobility needs to thousands of daily transit riders while creating new opportunities for equitable transit-oriented development, we can make a better choice today.”

The board is set to reconvene on May 25 to potentially reach a decision.

Winter sowing jumpstarts your garden

Gardeners have used

“season-extenders” for centuries, whether its digging underground storage for potatoes, building a cold frame, using row covers or, the ultimate, adding a greenhouse to your growing arsenal. But there’s one you may not know about that’s a game-changer for urban gardeners — it’s called winter sowing.

Winter sowing is a close cousin to these measures, but is a lot easier, a ordable, portable and temporary — requiring no permanent construction to your garden. If you are running out of indoor space for seed-starting and grow lights — or don’t want to bother with all that — it’s a great solution. ose seedlings start small, but once they graduate into larger pots, they soon eat up a lot more counterspace.

What is winter sowing? Basically, it’s creating mini greenhouses outdoors, usually out of reused materials like milk jugs, clear liter bottles, salad clamshells and take-out trays. Plants grown outside are tougher, better acclimated to wind than those babied inside.

You can choose any vessel if it can hold about 3 to 4 inches of potting or seed-starting mix, has drainage holes, allows light and water in, but covers the seedlings from wind.

Milk jugs are the most common

set-up. e iconic symbols of winter sowing — they are translucent, readily available and so easy to carry with that handle.

Here’s how you convert a milk container: Poke drainage holes on the bottom and the sides up to 3 inches (a screwdriver, awl or ice pick works well). At about 4 inches from the base, cut horizontally almost all the way through, leaving the side by the handle intact, so you’ve made a Pac-Man-style mouth to access inside for planting. Add planting medium, seeds, plant tag, write the plant name and date on the outside, and tape up that cut with duct or packing tape. Remove the milk jug cap to allow water in.

Remarkably, during my rst goround with winter sowing last year, my seedlings survived for months despite me not knowing about that last step. I guess rainwater seeped up through capillary action from the drainage holes.

We have gardener Trudi Davido to thank for this idea, who told the world about it on her web site Winter Sown, with the term eventually earning inclusion the USDA’s National Agricultural esaurus in 2006.

You can’t sow just any seeds this way, however. A thin layer of plastic doesn’t a ord the same protection

as glass windows or polycarbonate, after all. Seeds that can take or even prefer a little cold strati cation, like cold hardy annuals, “cool season” vegetables and many perennials are perfect choices.

You can sow them anytime from fall to winter, but keep in mind the idea is to transplant your seedlings at about 1 inch high, so plan accordingly.

I just planted milk jugs of four types of (presoaked) sweet peas the rst week of March.

As part of my campaign to make my lawn earn its keep, I am adding one jug each of Bellis perennis — the little white daisies you see in Seattle park lawns and play elds from spring through summer — and blue- owered Nemophila menziesii (baby-blue eyes) to beautify our lawn while attracting pollinators. e rst leg of that campaign was my pollinator bulb lawn corner started in fall, lled with crocus, muscari and Dutch iris — which I’m delighted to report are coming up now!

Clamshells with red romaine lettuce seeds and purple bok choy also went outside to jumpstart my homegrown veggie eating.

As a side experiment with the sweet peas, I also planted some indoors on a heat mat, so we’ll see which blooms rst.

In case anyone is wondering, I also planted my tomatoes indoors at the same time. Winter-sown tomatoes may need extra protection in frosty weather, especially once sprouted. Anecdotal reports say that they fruit earlier and are overall more robust than those started indoor.

I recently learned of a container that seems even better than milk jugs — zip-top bags. ey’re lighter,

If you are running out of indoor space for seed-starting and grow lights — or don’t want to bother with all that — winter sowing is a great solution. Here, Bellis perennis

take up less space and need a lot less preparation and fussing. Just fold in three, cut three tiny corners for drainage holes, plant up and add a clothespin at the top to keep the bag open. Some plant many bags and hang them on a dowel (cutting a hole for the dowel), but I’m just going to put them in a tray or bin and check periodically that they’re still upright.

You can sow as thickly as you like, using the “hunk” sowing method,

where you slice up chunks, or hunks, if you prefer, to transplant. If necessary, it’s always possible to trim a few stems to the ground to let the others thrive.

e next round will be calendula, marigolds and zinnia. I may try poppies and sun owers, but they resent transplanting, so I’d have to be very gentle making the move to in-ground. Here goes — I’m just delighted to be planting again!
