Kirkland City Council narrows search for city pool location
BY RAECHEL DAWSON

T
he Kirkland City Council unanimously approved a resolution on Jan. 21 that narrows down potential locations for a new aquatic center. Resolution 5029 commits the city to further analyze building an aquatic center at Juanita Beach Park,
North Kirkland Community Center or, as amended, South Norway Hill Park; however, the scope is not limited to these sites. The resolution also calls for city staff to design a facility to serve the needs of the Lake Washington School District and the “broadest possible general public.” It will require staff to conduct outreach with
the community and potential partners on possible facility components and site preferences. Another amendment called for a feasibility and cost analysis study on converting Peter Kirk Pool to year-round use as an interim solution if the city cannot finish the aquatic center by 2017, when the Juanita Aquatic Center is
projected to close. “It’s criminal that we use Peter Kirk Pool as little as we do,” said Deputy Mayor Penny Sweet, adding that she used to swim competitively at a dome pool in the 1970s. The Park Board will provide a recommendation to the Council on facility preference by April 1. Before the Council voted on the resolution, staff from
Local business celebrates Chinese New Year
For the 12th year, Mak Fai Washington Kung Fu Club visited Kirkland to bless Sea Port, an international seafood company based in Kirkland, for the Chinese New Year, which will take place on Jan. 31. About 30 people turned out to see the “Chinese dragons” dance through the premises to drums and symbols.

Council considers limits for marijuana stores along Market St. BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
Kirkland’s Market neighborhood may not get marijuana stores after all. The Kirkland City Council directed city staff during their Jan. 21 Council meeting to look into interim regulations for two Market Street zones that several marijuana retail license applicants have expressed interest in. During the last two months, several, if not hundreds, of Market, Norkirk and Highlands residents have written, emailed and
spoken to Council members about barring marijuana stores along the Market Street zones, Market Street Corridor (MSC) 1 and 2, for fear of how it could impact their community. “I’m worried about a marijuana dispensary being allowed anywhere in my neighborhood,” said Sophie Larsen, a 14-year-old Market neighborhood resident who spoke at the Council meeting. “What if people try to sell marijuana to me?” While the majority of Council members weren’t in favor of a moratorium,
many felt steps should be taken to address residents’ concerns. “I’m willing to do whatever it is,” said Deputy Mayor Penny Sweet. “I think we need more time. It’s a scary proposition, it is the future.” Each Council member agreed to send a letter to the Washington State Liquor Control Board explaining the city’s stance on marijuana license applications and their potential Kirkland locations. The letter will be sent after the Council has taken action on the interim
regulations. “Residents of the [zones’] adjacent neighborhoods have expressed strong concerns about marijuana sales so close to the neighborhoods,” the draft letter to the Liquor Control Board states. “Kirkland Middle School is located several blocks to the east of the proposed marijuana retail sites; and although the school is not within 1,000 feet of the proposed marijuana retailers, the retailers are located along designated school walk routes.” [ more MARIJUANA page 2 ]
the Parks and Community Services department and a member of the Sports Management Group presented multiple site options during the Council study session. The sites were evaluated on their ability to hold a 38,500-square-foot aquatic center which could include an eight-lane lap pool with diving, a recreation pool with water slides, a spa/
warm water therapy pool, seating for 250, and a multi purpose classroom; or a 72,000-square-foot aquatic center and recreation center. The larger facility could include one court gym, a fitness room, wood floor studio, community kitchen, child-watch activity room, multipurpose classroom, [ more POOL page 3 ]

More than 33 applicants have filed for marijuana retail licenses using Kirkland addresses. But whether the Council will unanimously vote on enacting an interim regulation is unclear. “Fifty-six percent of voters voted for this. In Kirkland, it was 62 percent,” said Councilwoman Shelley Kloba. “My preference, under substantive options, is to maintain the current regulations.” Kloba, Sweet, and Councilmen Toby Nixon and Jay Arnold agreed that redefining the MSC1 zone to exclude retail use was a good way to bypass some uncertainty of how the federal government
could react to city governments enacting marijuana zoning laws and address residents’ issues. However, Councilman Dave Asher countered that keeping as much retail space in Kirkland was vital for the economy. Ultimately, MSC1 and MSC2 zones will be analyzed by city staff for the interim ordinance, as opposed to the entire city. The interim ordinance will be presented at the Feb. 4 Council meeting and will last for six months if the Council adopts it. During the sixmonth period, a final ordinance would be drafted. The process for which that’s adopted is yet to be determined.

the initiative sponsors that the negative impacts of marijuana prohibition on our community are worse than the negative impacts of marijuana use in our community. “I really want to see implementation of I-502 succeed so that we can as quickly as possible get away from those negative impacts of prohibition. The problem is that implementation will fail if we make possession and use legal but it becomes impossible for people to purchase marijuana legally.”

Council members addressed marijuana retail, processing and producing zoning last summer but decided at the time to leave the law as it stood per the Liquor Control Board: Marijuana stores could be in retail zones as long as they were 1,000 feet away from schools, parks and other public places children might be, among other requirements and restrictions. I-502 was passed by Washington voters in November 2012, legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. “I don’t use marijuana, I teach people not to use it but I was a strong supporter of I-502, nevertheless,” said Nixon at the Jan. 21 Council meeting. “And that’s because I agree with

eight-lane lap pool with diving, recreation pool, spa/warm water therapy, seating for 250 and a special events room, among other features. When researching the sites, staff considered whether one or both of the facilities would be able to fit comfortably on each property. Council members removed the Mark Twain Park, Snyder’s Corner Park and the former Albertsons sites from consideration due to challenges with size, accessibility and land acquisition. But the north side of Juanita Beach Park, measuring 9 acres, the 5.5-acre North Kirkland Community Center property, and the 10 acres of trees at South Norway Hill Park were deemed viable options. They are all city-owned and large enough to accommodate both types of facilities.
Kiwanis Club awards grants to five local schools The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland is awarding five $500 grants to local schools to help them develop their robotics programs. The five schools are Kirkland Middle School, Kamiakin Middle Schools, International Community School, Juanita High School and Lake Washington High School. “Robotics is an important emerging technology, and our hope is that at least a portion of the funds can be used to afford needy students the opportunity to participate in their school’s robotic program,” said Kiwanis Club of Kirkland President Ralph Loveland.

The Robotics programs are designed to help students improve their knowledge and skills in a variety of areas, including mechanical engineering, computer programming, electronics and more. The recipients of the grants feel it will go far in helping grow the programs while providing fun new opportunities for the students. One school official said the grant will provide the funds needed to buy a new kit of materials for a robotics competition. All the schools expressed their excitement with being able to move forward with their robotics programs due to these grants.

“If it ends up being Kirkland alone with the school district, which we hope in the end is not the case, but in [this] scenario, we want to make sure we’re delivering a great product for Kirkland residents and the school district as well.” And for now, that’s keeping easily accessible, city-owned locations at the forefront. The Lake Washington School District Board of Directors passed a resolution in September 2013 which said they would be willing to enter into a pool partnership. An undetermined amount of unspent funds from the district’s 2006 capital bond measure would go toward a future pool project with the caveat that the February 2014 bond passes. The district estimates there’s $10-12 million left in the 2006 capital bond. Shortly after the board’s

Tear down that seminary I attended the recent community meeting about Saint Edward’s State Park. I must say it was helpful to get both sides of the story. It was wonderful to see the public come together on this issue. After all was said and done, I came to my own decision about how I’d like to see the situation handled. I personally would like to see the old seminary building demolished and the park continue to be enjoyed as a natural recreation area. Demolishing the building would be a resolution to several issues. My tax dollars would no longer go toward the maintenance and repairs, which are bandaids for a gaping wound of a building that is close to being condemned. Take note, that our tax dollars are also still being used to heat the pool building which essentially is condemned. We won’t have to get into a frenzy every time someone threatens to lease the building. And let’s face it, it will take the likes of Paul Allen to come up with $40 million to fully repair this building. You can call your legislators but I just don’t see people lining up to pay more taxes. Once the building is gone, we’ll have a bit more park space or we can let the creative juices flow for a new sort of structure, one uninhibited by a $40 million repair. I know some will say “but it’s a historical building with a story.” Hey, the trees that you, or the guy before you, cut down to build your house had a story, as did the little lake cottage that got demolished for the new mansion. It’s reality, and in this case, it’s fiscal responsibility.

The success of our graduates helps to bring top companies to Kirkland and Redmond, which brings additional and higher level job options. Their strong critical thinking skills and education builds a higher standard of living and ultimately raises the employment opportunities for everyone in our community. My family has long been a fan of the outstanding quality of education provided in our district. Our eldest son attended Juanita Elementary, Finn Hill Junior High and graduated from Juanita High School. After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree last year he is now a successful employee for a major company in the Pacific Northwest. Our youngest is attending school at the improved and safer building of A.G. Bell Elementary. Our daughter attends the extraordinary Kirkland Middle School, upgraded in 2004. No matter which school you pick, this district has a plan to make certain it remains one of the best and ultimately raises the bar for our entire community. You can make our community stronger by voting yes for Lake Washington schools. Thank you so much for your support of the Lake Washington School District on Feb. 11.

Support Lake Washington School District measures I am a mother of four kids who are attending schools in the Lake Washington School District: Juanita High School, Kamiakin Middle School and Frost Elementary. I would like to urge everyone to support the upcoming measures for two levies and one bond. Frost Elementary School was rebuilt a few years ago and the improvement in efficiency and flexibility of use have been huge. It will be able to accommodate future technology innovations in teaching our kids so that they are ready to contribute in the world as it is and as it will be. However, if no new schools are built, the projected increase in new students in the district will mean that the library will have to be used as a classroom and not a library. The gym and the art and science room will have to be used as classrooms and physical education, art and science instruction will be significantly reduced.

Super Bowl features No. 1 offense vs. No. 1 defense
John Boyle
W
hile most of America spent the day after the NFC Championship game reacting to Richard Sherman’s postgame antics, the Seahawks cornerback was already immersed in film study. “With Peyton,” Sherman said, “you have to be on it quick, because I know he was on it quick.” When it comes to preparing for quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos’ offense, an extra week between games is probably one or two weeks too few, which is why Sherman and the Seahawks defense, despite being the best in the NFL, know they have their hands full this weekend. All season this Super Bowl matchup seemed like destiny. In the AFC, the 37-year-old Manning enjoyed the best season of what will surely be a Hall-of-Fame career, shattering passing records while leading the Broncos to an NFL record for points in a season. Seattle, meanwhile, earned the NFC’s No. 1 seed thanks in large part to a defense that became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the NFL in fewest points
(14.4) and fewest yards allowed (273.6) as well as takeaways (39). When you factor in the pass-happy era we’re in, Seattle’s pass defense wasn’t just great, it was one of the best of all-time. So when Sherman tipped Colin Kaepernick’s pass to Malcolm Smith for the gameclinching interception in the NFC title game, it didn’t just secure a Super Bowl berth for Seattle, it also set up one of the most intriguing Super Bowl matchups in recent memory, a classic meeting of an unstoppable force and an immoveable object. “We really embrace that, man,” Sherman said. “As a defense, we respect the heck out of Peyton Manning, but as a true competitor, as competitive as our team is, you wouldn’t want to have it any other way. You want the best of the best, otherwise you don’t feel like you’re getting the biggest challenge of your life. ... It’s just a competitive drive in you. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. So that’s the only way it can go.” And there is no arguing that this is a best-vs.-best matchup. Manning, whose career was in danger less than three years ago following multiple neck surgeries,
EVERETT HERALD
BY JOHN BOYLE Herald Writer
The Seahawks’ Russell Wilson and the Broncos’Peyton Manning meet at midfield following the two teams’preseason game in August. JENNIFER BUCHANAN , Everett Herald established single-season records for passing yards (5,477) and passing touchdowns (55). He carved up opposing defense by spreading the ball around to a group of pass-catchers with diverse skill sets, ranging from a prototypical No. 1 receiver in Demaryius Thomas to a speedy slot receiver in Wes Welker to an athletic tight end in Julius Thomas. And of all the crazy stats the Broncos put up, the most stunning might be that they had four pass-catchers produce 10-plus touchdown seasons: Thomas, Thomas, Welker and Eric Decker. For a little perspective on how crazy that is, there were just nine other receivers and tight ends on the NFL’s 31 other teams to accomplish that feat. So it’s no surprise that the Broncos are confident in their offense, no matter who is lined up across from them.
“They are the No. 1 defense,” Demaryius Thomas told reporters in Denver. “They have a great defense and we have a great offense. This is what you play for. I think we’ll be fine.” Yet as confident as the Broncos may be, it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like this Seattle defense, which didn’t just have the best pass defense in the league, but the best by a significant margin. Seattle allowed 172.0 passing yards per game, 22.1 fewer than the No. 2 team. The Seahawks’ opponents’ passer rating of 63.4 is 10.8 points better than the next best team. The website FootballPerspective.com came up with a formula to rate pass defense in a historical context by using adjusted net yards per attempt — meaning it factors in sacks, not just actual pass attempts — then factored in a
standard deviation relative to the average pass defense that year, and came away with the conclusion that the Seahawks have the fourth-best pass defense since 1950 behind 2002 Tampa Bay, 1988 Minnesota and the 1970 Vikings. Those ’02 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl, and it should be noted that Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was the defensive backs coach of the 1988 Vikings. Seattle’s secondary deservedly saw three players, Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, earn Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors, yet it’s safe to say they’ve yet to see anything quite like Denver’s offense. But Seahawks fans might take comfort knowing that in the previous four Super Bowls to match the league’s No. 1 offense and No. 1 defense in terms of yards, the defensive team won three times. Not only is Denver’s offense talented, it’s also a challenge because Manning has so much freedom at the line of scrimmage, essentially serving as, as Sherman called him, “an offensive coordinator out there.” “Nobody has ever taken more command of the game than he has at this stage of his career,” Carroll said. “And the coaching staff has allowed that to happen where he can be in total command of what’s going on.” One thing Carroll and his defense know well is that stopping Denver’s passing
game isn’t only about the players covering Manning’s targets. If the Seahawks can somehow generate a pass rush to disrupt Manning’s timing, they’ll be doing something few teams have this season. The Broncos allowed a league-low 20 sacks this season, 18 on Manning, and that number clearly isn’t a testament to Manning’s mobility. Instead the Broncos rely on solid pass protection and, even more important, a quarterback who through years of experience has learned precisely when to get rid of the ball and where to throw it. The Seahawks added Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril to improve their pass rush, and it worked, with Seattle registering 44 sacks this season, but even with a strong group of pass-rushers, pressuring Manning, like stopping the entire Broncos offense, will be a challenge even for the league’s best defense. “We have to be able to do everything,” Carroll said. “We have to be able to pressure him, we have to be able to play zone and man, do all of the things. Hopefully give him some new looks he can’t prepare for. We have to find a way to get him out of his normal rhythm. Very few teams have been able to do that. So it’s a big challenge.”

When it comes to technology, the Capital Projects Levy would cover items such as replacing the district’s mobile technology and keeping the district’s infrastructure — networks, servers and the like — up to date.

The Juanita cheerleading program is the first in the Lake Washington School District to compete at this event. The Juanita cheerleading program also finished second at the WIAA State Cheerleading Championship in 2013.

The district has already moved a portion of Rosa Parks students to nearby Laura Ingalls Wilder Elementary School in Woodinville as a temporary measure to address the overcrowding, but Reith said Wilder will soon be overcrowded if a new school is not built. “Right now, we’re getting to the ‘bursting-at-theseams’ (point),” she said, adding that the two Redmond elementary schools were on a previous bond measure in 2010 that failed.

overcrowding at Einstein and Rockwell — which have 488 and 661 students respectively — is to move some students to Horace Mann Elementary School. Reith said this is the only nearby school in the district’s Redmond Learning Community that is not expected to increase in enrollment. The third elementary school that would be built with the bond funds would be in Kirkland, though Reith said they have not determined where in the city it would be located. She said Kirkland is also growing, though not at the same rate as Redmond. “The bond passage will allow us to provide the space that our growing student population needs while alleviating overcrowded conditions in some of our schools,” Pendergrass said. “We do not have enough current space to adequately accommodate all the students moving into our schools.”

There will be an open enrollment period from Feb. 3-28 for families who are interested in in-district transfers to attend schools within the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) other than their neighborhood schools. Applying during this period may result in learning the outcome of a request earlier. These transfers are possible only if space is available. Because of the growing student population in the district, fewer schools can accommodate students from outside their neighborhood boundaries. The closed school list for the 2014-15 school year will be posted on the district website as of Feb. 3. Families are asked to review that list before applying for an in-district transfer. Call (425) 9361283 for more information.
