Community reacts to marijuana ban on Market Street BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
I
t seems Kirklanders can’t have their weed brownies and eat them too -- at least not for now. Kirkland residents and marijuana retail hopefuls in the Market neighborhood are dissatisfied with the marijuana ordinance the Kirkland City Council passed 5-2 on Feb. 4. The ordinance immediately banned marijuana retail shops in the Market Street Corridor (MSC) 1 zone of Kirkland for six months. But in an effort to compromise, the Council approved an amendment that struck the MSC 2 zone from the ordinance, which is enveloped in MSC 1, therefore allowing the possibility of marijuana retail shops in MSC 2 zone. The zone currently houses businesses such as the Zip Market and 4/4 School of Music. At least two businesses, Recreational Marijuana King and Twisted Sacks Corp, have applied for a marijuana retail license using addresses within that area. Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen said the ordinance needed a supermajority to pass and “as the discussion developed, it was clear we would not have that supermajority.” “The amendment was a compromise,” Walen said in an interview. “In Kirkland, we have all points of views represented.” Walen said she personally understands the citizens’ frustration and would have rather focused on sites that could work for marijuana retail shops instead of zoning by exclusion.
Market neighborhood reacts But the action left the
Market neighborhood advocates, who wrote letters to the Washington State Liquor Control Board, the Kirkland City Council and testified at meetings, feeling like the same issues were “left on the table.” “The main issues that concern Market residents still exist,” said Heidi Kelly, a Market neighborhood resident of 18 years. “Traffic, for instance. Those who use the businesses at the Market location can tell you that there isn’t enough parking there for a business that could potentially draw in people from all over the area. Market Street is maxed out at rush hour already.” Kelly feels the Council shouldn’t consider the lack of available locations in Kirkland for these retailers based on whether a landlord wants to rent or not because “shops open and close on a regular basis.” She thinks the city should look at a more longterm solution that applies to the community overall. “Some Council members feel they have no justification for any local zoning because a large majority of the community supported the initiative,” she said. “While that is true, those same supporters were also voting for wise, thoughtful implementation of the initiative … No one expected to find a tiny pocket of eligible real estate in a residential neighborhood.” Kirstin Larson shares Kelly’s concerns in that when the Council compromised by cutting out MSC 2 zone from the temporary ban, they “split the baby.” “It’s a decision that made no one happy,” she said. “It’s still in the Market neighborhood and it’s still in a location that abuts homes.” Larson said the MSC 2 zone is 15 feet from someone’s bedroom window and if a marijuana shop was put in, [ more MARIJUANA page 2 ]

Bi opened her business with the mission of spreading good health and promoting balance in her community.

Tyler Tullock, the owner of 4/4 School of Music in the MSC 2 zone said his business has been there for six years and doesn’t anticipate the applicants setting up shop any time soon. “Obviously, we wouldn’t be a fan,” Tullock said. “It doesn’t go well with the family friendly business we have.” General manager Chinki Yi of Zip Market also said having a marijuana business in the MSC 2 zone would be bad for employers in the area. “We don’t like that kind of business around as our neighbors,” Yi said. “I don’t like that kind of business, bad

Sharon Singh is frustrated the Council didn’t listen to their concerns over the MSC 2 zone. She said there are much better locations for a marijuana shop, citing the Totem Lake Malls as an example. “[It] feels very frustrating to neighbors as many of the Council seem to understand; however, their voices are not being heard due to the outspoken two.” Singh said she “couldn’t believe” Councilwoman Shelley Kloba’s comment at the last Council meeting, which touched on the fact that 67 percent of Market neighborhood voters voted for Initiative 502 so it made sense for a marijuana shop to be in their
neighborhood. Kloba could not be immediately reached for comment. According to city documents, voters in the Market neighborhood tied for the second highest in favor of I-502 with the Norkirk neighborhood. The Highlands neighborhood had the most voters in favor of the law of all 14 Kirkland neighborhoods. Since December, neighborhood advocates, who often wear yellow scarves to Council meetings, have been against marijuana retail applicants listing Market neighborhood addresses in their license applications to the Liquor Control Board. Many residents state they are in favor of I-502 but feel strongly that the places where

Marijuana retail license applicants are also upset but for different reasons. On top of the rigorous license applications process, fees, and confusing rules, applicants say trying to find a place to do business has been even more difficult. Limiting viable places in Kirkland that comply with the Liquor Control Board’s 1,000-foot rule, such as those on Market Street, creates about seven available locations, according to marijuana retail applicant Allie Charneski with The Novel Tree. “As of right now, the Liquor Control Board has listed 39 applicants for retail,” Charneski said at the Feb. 4 public hearing. “This takes all but seven out for various reasons.” While seven seems like a lot of options for a city that’s only allowed two marijuana shops, Charneski said she called all seven landlords or brokers of the spots and none except one wanted to lease to a marijuana business. Charneski and her business partner Chris McAboy reached out to a developer and was able to convince a land owner to lease their property. Only one problem: the location is within the MSC 1 zone. “This pursuit has prob-

people can purchase the drug should not be in a heavily residential area, such as in the Market neighborhood. Some of the proposed locations are near safe school walk routes where elementary and middle school students walk before and after school. Others are concerned about the potential increase of traffic, the increase in crime and the lack of proper parking. “Given the restrictions that other municipalities have enacted, there is a concern that the Kirkland dispensaries will be a primary source of pot for people across the region,” Kelly said. “Turning Market Street into a primary pot dispensary for our area doesn’t makes sense.”
Last month, the Kirkland City Council approved further study of the north side of Juanita Beach Park, North Kirkland Community Center and South Norway Hill Park as locations
ably been one of the most challenging things Allie and I have ever done,” McAboy said. “We have hit opposition from landlords, brokers, the general public, and government officials.” McAboy said a permanent zoning ban would “kill this opportunity” for him and Charneski. “Right now, approximately 10 people are getting their way of enacting a ban in a location where greater than 67 percent of the population voted ‘yes’ for I-502,” he said. “If the ban holds, there may be no other locations in Kirkland for a retail location due to zoning, longterm leases in place and owner opposition.” Market neighborhood advocates say they have 60-plus supporters at this time. The space McAboy and Charneski hope to open The Novel Tree at is along Market Street and is outside the board’s 1,000-foot buffer zones. McAboy said it is in a nearly 10,000-square-foot office/retail space in which the building is 60 percent occupied with tenants. The location currently has more than 30 private parking spaces. McAboy would not disclose the address but said the landowner has given them a “letter of intent” to be sent to the Liquor Control Board, something marijuana retail applicant Todd Spaits said is hard to come by these days. “One of the things [the Liquor Control Board] is asking is for is a letter from the landlord,” Spaits said, who applied for the 1818 Market Street location back in December. “They’re doing it so that every location can only give one letter of intent out for one person.” Through Spaits’ experience with trying to secure a location for Biloxi Green, he’s encountered landlords selling these letters of intent, which makes it that much harder to find places for business. “We’re not sure if it’s entirely illegal,” Spaits said, who also lives in the Market neighborhood. “What they’ve done is opened the door for them to be bought, essentially.” Spaits said it hasn’t happened with the landlord at the Kirkland location, but for a new aquatic center. Public input on these sites is wanted at two public meetings to be held at 7 p.m. on Feb. 25 and 26. The first meeting will be held at Kamiakin Middle School Cafeteria, located at 14111 132nd Ave. NE; the second meeting will be held at the North Kirkland Community Center, Community
that he’ll continue to pursue a license for 1818 Market Street, temporary ban and all. “I would honestly say, I think my opinion is I don’t think that’s the best location to have one, there’s better locations,” Spaits said of the 1818 Market St. office building. As for the community fear, Spaits and McAboy believe it is based on the unknown. “What it comes down to is that people are going to continue to use marijuana as they have through the prohibition era, and the question for us is whether we want those millions of dollars heading south to Mexican cartels or staying in our state supporting the public and our economy,” McAboy said. “After we presented at the last Kirkland City Council meeting, a very nice lady sitting behind us said to Allie and me, ‘I have been against marijuana since the beginning. I have never thought it was a good thing, whether medicinal or recreational. Tonight was the first time I’ve ever had even a slight hope that this could actually work. Thank you.’ We were very motivated by that and the other positive responses we have received.”
What’s next? As the interim ordinance acts as a place holder for the MSC 1 zone, Walen said the city and community will have a more detailed conversation on this issue. The Planning Commission and a Council subcommittee -- the Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee headed by Councilman Jay Arnold, will research what else can be done. Walen said the residential buffer will be discussed, as well. Meanwhile, Larson, Kelly and others are still figuring out their next steps. “We’ve tried to be really respectful to the Council and not be an angry group, shouting and yelling,” Larson said. “We’ll be meeting with the Council, trying to work with them, and go straight to the Liquor Control Board if the Council is not going to support us.” For more information on I-502, visit www.liq.wa.gov/ marijuana/I-502.

Inslee’s decision could set death penalty precedent
Jay Inslee endorsed the death penalty for his entire political career. But once the Democrat became governor and got his finger on the switch, he realized he couldn’t push it. He pronounced on Feb. 11 that no death-row inmate would be executed on his watch. “This is a hard decision given what this means to everybody in our state,” he said. “I’m at peace with it. I’m comfortable that this is the right decision.” He did not commute the sentences of the nine inmates now on death row; he’s given them a reprieve during his time in office and a future governor still could authorize their execution. And Inslee didn’t propose erasing the death penalty law voters tried to put in place and lawmakers eventually did 33 years ago. He’s left that task to others. Still, will Washington ever conduct an execution again? Maybe not. With its long winning streak in gubernatorial races, Democratic Party leaders are confident Inslee can capture a second term in 2016 when the death penalty will certainly be a campaign issue. If this happens, executions would be on hold until 2020. Any Democratic candidate looking to succeed Inslee at that point would be hard-pressed to publicly reject the approach of the party’s reigning incumbent. Turns out one prominent Democrat who might consider running already knows he doesn’t want to do executions either. Attorney General Bob Ferguson said on Feb. 11 he agreed with the governor’s rationale for pushing the pause button on executing death row inmates by lethal injection or hanging.
He declined to elaborate on Feb. 11. But his opinions on the death penalty aren’t a secret. They came into sharp focus in the 2012 campaign for attorney general when Ferguson made clear he opposed the law but would uphold the state’s right to impose capital punishment. He implied in a March 2012 statement to Washington State Wire it included conducting executions in some cases. “I have long been a supporter of the men and women who risk their lives to protect our communities, and should a tragedy occur on my watch where an officer is killed in the line of duty, I will use every legal tool available under law, including capital punishment as appropriate.” In that campaign, opponents questioned that resolve by citing comments he made to a student law journal in 1993 after he worked on a case for Jerry Cornfield

the Arizona Capital Representation Project. His efforts as a researcher in the appeals case for a cop-killer on death row resulted in the inmate gaining legal representation. Ferguson told the magazine: “The reason I went to law school was to work against the death penalty. I see absolutely no justification or support for executing people. But after this experience I came away feeling almost radicalized against the death penalty.” Fast forward, and Ferguson finds himself deeply involved in defending the state’s death penalty law. Inslee’s decision may make it possible for Ferguson to be less so as it turns out neither one of them is interested in seeing executions proceed.

Sen. Andy Hill’s claims are distorted Sen. Andy Hill’s claims printed in your paper, your website and in his newsletter must be checked. It seems Andy is getting ever more bold in the size and scope of his distortions. Worse, his supporters are now parroting them in your publication. Let me start with his mantra that he balanced the budget with “no new general taxes.” Perhaps we should not call that a lie. Perhaps it depends on Andy’s definition of “taxes.” The state budget office says the new taxes that Hill denies exist will bring in almost a billion new dollars. Tim Eyman complained bitterly about the new taxes in “Andy’s budget.” What’s most shocking, is these “no new general taxes” were on November’s ballot – all five of them. How much gall must a politician possess to deny raising taxes when the voters themselves saw them on an advisory vote? Hill brags that the budget bill passed with a lot of votes and is proof of bipartisanship. The truth is, the budget was finalized just two days before a state government shutdown would have been triggered. Further, the collection of bills that balanced the budget did not have bipartisan support and passed with the minimum number of votes needed. It gets worse. Hill claims he “led” the budget process in the Senate. The budget that Hill is so proud of cut teacher salaries by $280 million and
made other unpopular cuts. But here’s the clincher – Hill voted against it. That’s right. The supposed leader of the Senate budget voted against unpopular elements of his own budget. I presume he wants to deny his role in balancing the budget at election time while simultaneously bragging that he led Olympia. One of Hill’s claims is partly correct - education funding did increase. It wasn’t a function of Hill’s leadership though. Before he even got to Olympia, the State Supreme Court ordered increased education funding and the legislature committed itself to doing so. Now, after “Andy’s budget” has passed, the Supreme Court has called it inadequate and wants an update by this April. Even in something as basic as equal rights, Hill didn’t lead. When the Senate was turning over every rock looking for the 25th vote required to pass marriage equality, Hill was silent. His official position was he was “thinking” about it. At long last, a majority of Senators committed and a vote was scheduled. At that point, Hill could just as well have stayed home. But Hill came in and voted with the majority. I think equal rights are a matter of moral imperative. When people ask a public figure their position on moral issues, they deserve a straight answer. Either Hill’s moral compass didn’t know which way to point, or he had some other reason for going along to get along. In Olympia, I can’t tell if Hill has been a leader or a sock puppet, but I know this: Doing one thing
and saying another is the kind of politics that people are sick of.

Need to prepare now for impacts from weather changes California is in the midst of an unimaginable drought. For the rest of the country, it is the worst winter in a long time. The cold polar vortex winds have killed many and over 700,000 Americans are without power. But the situation is still manageable. These are depressing times and it is really important to look at the big picture. We need to see what is happening in the world. With over 1.2 billion people living in extreme poverty, they are the ones who are going to be most severely affected by these climatic changes. This was reported in The Ecologist just three days ago. The biggest challenge will be large-scale human migrations that will take place due to increase in sea levels and extreme weather conditions. This can have adverse effects on the economy of the United States of America unless we do something about it now. Our foreign aid budget needs to be increased. One percent is miniscule and unless we invest in regions that will be affected the most, the ones that are deathly poor now, we will have a much bigger problem on hand, too soon.

nder the shadow of Mt. Rainier, while Lake Washington’s deep blue water twinkles in the morning light, Kirkland resident Bill Coady frequently launches his sea kayak in what he described as Washington’s perfect environment. As the chair of the Everett Mountaineers sea kayak class, he doesn’t do anything special to keep in shape for it, but knows the joy of kayaking. Coady always liked the water. He used to go fishing with his father as a child in San Diego where he grew up, he said. Back in 2008, after he moved to the area, he was in a canoe paddling down the Snohomish River with a group of friends when they encouraged him to try out one of their sea kayaks. “I sat in it and I was sold,” said Coady. “I went to a class and bam. That was it.” Coady learned basic kayaking skills in a course offered by the Mountaineers, a Washington-based volunteer organization that offers training in various outdoor activities. This included four lecture classes, a five-hour pool session and one day out in open water. The classes are popular across a diverse slice of Washingtonians. “An age range of 28 to 60 is not unusual in our sea kayak classes,” said Mary Hsue, staff liaison to the Everett Branch of the Mountaineers. Coady says there is no bad age for kayaking. “From a class standpoint, there is a limitation if you are under 18,” Coady said, “but some of the best kayakers I know are significantly older than me, and I’m 62.” Hsue and Coady agreed that if a person doesn’t have a significant physical handicap and is older than 18, they could take to the water. Karen Cramer, a former Mountaineers student, says her dream boat is a kayak. “I find the initial skills are pretty easy,” said Cramer. “You get a good start in a basic course, and then have plenty of time to practice those skills.” The Pacific Northwest sports a wide variety of open water for sea kayakers to enjoy, Coady said, from the island-heavy Puget Sound to Ross and Baker lakes up in the Cascade Mountains. Coady’s favorite sea kayaking destination is Pelican Beach on Cypress Island,

part of the San Juan Islands chain. “You can hike up to the top of Eagle Point and look at the sunset,” said Coady. “It’s just gorgeous.” The campground on Cypress Island is part of the Washington Water Trails’ Cascade Marine trail. This is a route of 55 campsites for boaters throughout the San Juan Islands to visit and make multiple-day trips out of their kayak excursions. Coady frequently launches his sea kayak during the spring and summer months, not just for longer trips out into the San Juans, but also for one to two hours on Lake Washington. He was appointed chair of the Everett Mountaineers sea kayak class this last year. He’s gearing up to begin on March 27. “If you like the outdoors, if you like water, if you revel in the fact that you get a sun break and the mountains [are] out and you look down and see Lake Meany and the water is twinkling blue,” said Coady, “if you really like that kind of stuff, you should make time to paddle.”

He was a design engineer with Boeing, a 40-year member of the Bellevue Community Band, and a pianist with the Coal Creek Jazz Band. Chuck was an enthusiastic reader, sailor, and skier, and a supporter of the Engineering Retirees, junior soccer, Juanita High School athletics (particularly basketball since 1975), Morgan horses, and Golden Retrievers. He is survived by wife Lois, sons John and Paul (Wendy), grandsons Chad and Shane, sister Janice, and several nephews and nieces.

Juanita cheer wins state title The Juanita High School cheer squad won the state title on Feb. 1. It is the first state title for the team in school history. The Rebels competed in Varsity Small Tumbling for the 3A, 2A and 1 A levels and finished with a score of 75.25. The next closest team was Bremerton High School with a score of 64.25.

stomach, she said. And knowing what ingredients it takes to make a tasty smoothie, while still maintaining the nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables, is what drives Bi in her quest to spread health. Bi follows the Chinese philosophy of Yin and Yang, or balance, and believes without health, other areas of people’s life will also suffer. “In the modern world, there is an overwhelming amount of stress and anxiety that we often neglect our own health,” she said on her the Green E Juice website. “Prioritizing good health becomes secondary while fast

food becomes more convenient and energy drinks are used for an extra boost.” Bi said Green E Juice can be a “station of energy” from her juicing and soup recipes that date back many generations. Within the month, Bi expects to launch online ordering and delivery, and later down the road, she hopes to open two more locations in Bellevue and Seattle with a central kitchen for easier delivery. Green E Juice is located at 219 Kirkland Ave., Ste. 101 in Kirkland. For more information, visit www.greenejuice.com.

Originally interested in opening Green E Juice in Bellevue or Seattle where there’s a bigger population, she was pleasantly surprised with the small space on Kirkland Avenue, where her business is now located. After looking at the area, the paperwork was signed within a week. “[The] area makes me feel really good energy, here,” she said. Bi’s Kirkland customers are right in line with her mission of health and have even surprised her with their knowledge in healthy eating. Bi asserts that people who solely eat from Green E Juice for one week will feel different, have more energy and feel less hungry, as one cup of The Balance smoothie is equal to four cups of water. The Balance smoothie, which is made with fresh apple, carrot, spinach, orange, celery, avocado, banana, ice and water is the best way to wake up in the morning and should be eaten on an empty

nflammation - you hear the word everywhere. There are many in the medical community who theorize that inflammation is underlying most chronic illness, including everything from asthma to cancer. Americans consume a stunning quantity of antiinflammatory medications, both prescription and overthe-counter. They can be effective, but there are negative side-effects with long-term use, so the search has continued for alternatives. There are various approaches to reducing inflammation using a more holistic or natural approach. These include increasing foods that reduce inflammation and avoiding more pro-inflammatory foods, consuming compounds like Omega-3 fatty acids, which tip the scales toward an inflammation-reducing effect, and taking certain medicinal plants

High waves cause boat to sink at marina BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@kirklandreporter.com
O
ne boat owner is likely to be extremely upset after learning his or her boat sank in Lake Washington on Feb. 12. Zachary Zerby, owner of the Undersea Mechani-
cal Company in Kirkland, notified the city and assisted the main salvage contractor, Jon Dunato with Dunato’s Towing and Salvage, to get the boat out of Lake Washington at the Kirkland marina. “This is how all these boats sink out,” said Zerby, adding that there
were 3-foot waves last night. “They all park the wrong way with the back facing out.” Zerby estimated the approximately 26-foot-long boat, which is registered in Oregon, is totaled. “It’s all ripped a part,” he said, clarifying that the windows and seats
were ripped off. “That type of stuff costs more than engines and transmissions.” Although the stern was completely submerged under water, “OR 643 ABC” can be seen on the side.

City approves Transportation Benefit District The Kirkland City Council approved legislation that establishes a Transportation Benefit District for having a future option to fund transportation improvements following a public hearing held on Feb. 10. At the public hearing Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen emphasized that the creation of the district “is not a current tax proposal but a placehold-

er for future needs.” The ordinance also establishes the Kirkland City Council as the governing board and specifies Kirkland city limits as the boundary of the district. Further, the ordinance requires that a public hearing be held prior to the city enacting a district fee or charge that does not require voter approval. The Council’s action does not enact any funding options at this time. A Transportation Benefit District is a funding tool for cities, towns and counties to pay for transportation improvements and provides for a variety of funding options, several which require voter approval. Several cities have enacted benefit districts.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
