City assessing landslide-hazardous areas of Kirkland

Officials to hold meeting June 25 at Finn Hill Middle School BY TJ MATRINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

he city of Kirkland is currently assessing the risk of landslide hazardous areas. City Manager Kurt Triplett said although they are examining neighborhoods designated as landslide hazardous, the

risk is “nothing of the same magnitude” as the Oso landslide. “What we’re trying to assess is whether there is more to be done,” he said. After they are done they will present the city council with a set of recommendations for them to consider, he said, which is expected

to occur during the fall. Right now, Kirkland residents who want to find out if they live in a landslide-hazardous area can check with a city map. If they want to find out how high the risk is for an actual landslide on their property, they will have to do their own homework.

As the risk assessment is being made by the city, King County recently announced it is seeking federal funding to update its 24-year-old map of unincorporated areas considered landslide hazardous. Part of the update will include a risk assessment of those areas. Numerous Kirkland

neighborhoods were a part of unincorporated King County during the 1990s when the old map was drawn but those areas will now be left out. One of those neighborhoods is Goat Hill near Juanita Beach Park, which suffered a landslide in 2010, forcing nine people to evacuate their

homes. The Department of Transportation determined the landslide was caused by drainage issues and soil erosion. The city is also reaching out to residents to discuss ways in which they can reduce soil erosion and landslide risk on their property. A city-planned meeting scheduled for June 25 at Finn Hill Middle School is [ more SLIDE page 6 ]

Golf addiction leads to Kirkland man’s arrest BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

A 26-year-old Kirkland man was arrested June 4 after allegedly burglarizing a golf course shop in May and stealing 40-50 golf clubs as the result of a golf “addiction,” accord-

ing to Bremerton Police. Bremerton Police said that the man was arrested at his residence in Kirkland after a search warrant was served on his apartment as part of an investigation into the burglary of the Pro Shop at the Gold Mountain

Golf Course in Bremerton on May 26. More than $9,200 worth of golf equipment, including 4050 golf clubs, were stolen. The Reporter does not name suspects unless they have been charged with the crime. During the investiga-

tion, Bremerton detectives searched eBay and Craigslist for sales of stolen merchandise and claimed to have found 11 golf clubs matching several of the clubs taken during the burglary. Security camera footage and [ more GOLF page 2 ]

At the Flatstick Pub in downtown Kirkland, owner Sam Largent hopes to score a hole-in-one with a combination of Washington-only craft beer and an indoor minigolf course. The pub, located at 15 Lake Street, recently held its grand opening. The bar is the culmination of Largent’s desire to open a pub that can offer both local beers and unique entertainment, setting it apart from other pubs on the Eastside and even the greater Seattle area. Largent said he wasn’t comfortable quitting his job as an accountant for 15 years and sinking his life savings into the venture without a creative idea for the place. He was first inspired for the idea of a miniature golf course in a pub by Smash Putt!, a Portland-based golf course that was originally located in a warehouse in the SoDo area. It was only after Von Trapps, a German-style restaurant with bocce ball, opened

up in Capital Hill that he decided the unusual concept would work. He started looking for places on the Eastside that would allow him to build the golf course, though he said Kirkland was always his top choice. “It seemed like there was a big need for a really beer-focused place,” he said. “There are lots of great wine, cocktail restaurants, but not a lot of beer.” Largent said that adding this mini-golf offers a different environment than other sit-down pubs and gives patrons a social activity to do while enjoying their beer. “Everyone we talked to thought it was a great idea,” he said. Largent designed the nine-hole golf course with his brother and co-owner, Andy. They also had help from Sam Largent’s neighbor, a welder, who built the holes for them while they were obtaining the space for the pub. Although putt-putt is often thought of as a [ more PUB page 10 ]

other information from the investigation allegedly pointed to a Kirkland resident, according to Bremerton police. After obtaining a search warrant for the suspect’s apartment, police arrived Wednesday and discovered numerous items taken during the burglary, as well as photos of him playing golf throughout the residence. The Gold Mountain Golf Course has him listed as playing the course eight times in the past year, according to the press release. Police stated the man appeared to not be employed. Bremerton Police Chief Steve Strachan said this is the first burglary he’s seen as the result of a golf addiction, rather than drugs or alcohol. The man was taken into custody and booked into the Kitsap County Jail for felony trafficking in stolen goods, as well as felony burglary. Bail has been set at $200,000. The man has no previous criminal record, according to Bremerton police.

he Kirkland City Council has approved a $2 million contract with Rodarte Construction, Inc. for construction of the CrossKirkland Corridor Interim Trail. The council voted at their June 3 meeting to extend the contract to the Auburn-based company. It is slated to start around July and be completed before or at the beginning of December. A total of five bids were made during the threeweek bid period. The second lowest bid was approximately $2.4 million made by Road Construction Northwest. A city engineer estimates the cost for the trail construction to be $2.2 million. According to city documents, the total budget for the rail removal and interim trail is $4.1 million. Funding for the trail includes $1.9 million from the state, $1 million from the federal government and $1.1 million from

Triplett stated in an interview that the issue was eventually resolved after the city explained that it was merely covering an existing rail bed with gravel and not making any major improvements or changes to the trail. He also received reassurance from Sound Transit that it did not intend to create a financial liability for the city. The Cross-Kirkland Corridor Trail is designed to run from the South Kirkland Park and Ride north to the Totem Lake Business District on the old railroad tracks the city purchased from the Port of Seattle for $5 million. In 2013, the city began removing and salvaging the rails. The work was finished in October. The interim trail will have a gravel surface placed within the existing rail bed and will extend from 108th Avenue Northeast to 132nd Avenue Northeast, nearly six miles. As part of the interim trail construction, rails at nine existing street crossing locations will be removed and the section repaved.

the city budget as well as revenue from selling the salvaged rails. The city vote came after a potential dispute with Sound Transit was resolved concerning certain sections of the trail. In April, Sound Transit claimed that sections of the interim trail were located within a Sound Transit Planned Easement Area, which predated the city’s purchase of the trail. Under the easement, Sound Transit is able to stipulate conditions of major improvements. An executive at Sound Transit wrote in two letters that if built the trail would make it unreasonable for them to build high capacity transportation facilities (HCT) in that area and that the trail would have to be relocated off bridges and underpasses to accommodate the HCTs if and when they were constructed. The city in turn raised concerns that the letters implied a financial risk if the city proceeded with trail construction only to be forced later to move it at a considerable cost. City Manager Kurt

Why scouts must be prepared

eading the letter to the editor about the Boy Scouts on our website www.kirklandreporter. com (and below) made me think of my good ol’ days as a scout. It was a little more than 15 years ago that I went on my first Boy Scout camp out with Troop 600 in Bellevue. We attended the regional camporee, which for the uninitiated is an opportunity for boys to do things that boys love best, playing (sometimes safely) with knifes, whittling sticks into twigs, testing our knot-tying skills on smaller kids and making fires - lots of fires. It is a verifiable truth that whether or not a scout ever makes it to the rank of Eagle, which I eventually did, he will learn at least three things. What burns, what doesn’t burn and what really, really burns. Another thing explored at camporee is a boy’s natural curiosity with sharp objects. In the novel “Lord of the Flies,” adolescent boys stuck on an island together use a conch to decide who gets to speak. Obviously, none of them were Boy Scouts. If they had been, they would have used a Swiss Army knife or a large stick the size of a staff. For me, at the socially awkward age of 12, none of this was apparent yet, nor was it on my mind. The year was 1999, and in those olden days I was completely oblivious to the obvious, like how my scout uniform was way too big for me. My parents claimed I would “grow into the clothes.” Which I did, five years later. The only thing that concerned my rambunctious group of friends was the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the greatest video game ever made. In a blatant act of disobedience to my older brother, I had secretly brought along his cherished player’s guide in an attempt to figure out where the heck that key was in the Water Temple. Either it was my eyes being stuck on the pages

or my friends were equally as fascinated with the book as myself, but during that first camp out we learned several great truths after the fact. For one, we weren’t even good enough to be tenderfoot scouts. We were just scouts. To the second class and first class scouts, we were cabin boys, swabs. If we did what we were told, we got promoted to mate. In practice, this meant we were delegated the thankless tasks of gathering (natural) fuel to be used for the fire, while the older scouts got the pleasure of throwing ten matches on top and then lighting it with some aerosol spray. During capture the flag, we were told to stay as close to the flag as permissible and scream with our cracking voices if we saw someone coming. Luckily, we didn’t have to worry about the star or life scouts. They were eager to use us as pawns in their quasi-military quest to beat other troops in competitions. As long as we had enthusiasm, they loved us. We learned a lot of things the hard way. It’s always rainy somewhere in Washington, and as such, cot-

ton is rotten. Always. Choose your tent’s location accordingly. My friends and I picked a bit of sand in a small depression near a creek. Long story short, among other things the players guide got soaked. My older brother was also at the camporee and word spread through the camp faster than the identity of a kid’s secret crush. You do the math. Additionally, and I cannot stress this one enough, make sure you trust the kid cooking your meals. If you don’t, you will get cheese-balls instead of macaroni and cheese. Think of slightly moistened macaroni noodles stuck together by a near-lethal amount of dehydrated cheese powder. Believe you me, if you have not ever eaten cheese-balls, you have not experienced the worst that processed foods has to offer. In other words, be prepared. You never know what you might experience.

As one who has submitted numerous lengthy letters on behalf of citizens of Kirkland, this will likely be one of the shortest. Citizen review (and that of two experts) finds that one area of the recent report on contamination brings forward some questions. I will be asking the city to provide answers so that I can share with citizens. No need to flood city hall with letters. We’ll just see what they say. The issue is that the cleanup report identified contamination extending beyond the property line. It sounds like how much contamination and how far it extends has not been researched. It sounds like it is known to be of sufficient toxicity that it requires cleanup. It sounds like it extends under the city sidewalk, but whether it extends further such as the city street, the sidewalk across the street or all the way to the lake has not been determined. So will the city require the developer of the property to clean this up in advance of a building permit? This would seem the only time the city has teeth to make this happen, but maybe not. Some materials for Mr. Dargey’s projects indicate a five year exit strategy, not quite sure if that means he intends to build then sell, but if so, might the city be left holding the bag and footing the bill for contamination cleanup due to past activities on the parcels currently being prepared for construction at

a later date? I will submit these questions to the city with the hope that the city makes sure that the burden of investigation and cleanup is not one that is put on the backs of Kirkland Citizens if it rightfully belongs to those who intend to break ground on a project sometime in the future.

Scouts are a game with a purpose The founder of the scouting movement said that scouting was a game with a purpose. That purpose is to teach young people to make ethical and moral decisions throughout their lives. This is done through the ideals found in the Scout Law and Scout Oath. Scout unit youth in the greater Kirkland and Redmond area donated more than 7,000 service hours to the communities where these young people live and go to school. Scouting currently reaches almost 20 percent of the youth of scouting age in this area. How does scouting do this, through the use of games with a purpose, that purpose includes becoming better informed and participating citizens in their communities, their country and the world, by helping other people, being prepared, trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.

Owl saved, please be careful of vulnerable animals I would like to share a neighborly note, especially for those who live near or drive 108th Avenue on their morning commute. On the morning of May 21, a Barred Owl was found sitting on the curb across from Emerson High School. The owl was clearly injured. Fortunately, an alert cyclist had noticed it and stopped to tell Kirkland Parks employee Carol Berkey, who was working at Watershed Park, that there was a dead eagle along the road. Meanwhile, my partner Nora decided to run an errand and returned to insist I come immediately to check on an owl she had noticed on the sidewalk. By the time we got there, Carol had already responded and positioned her vehicle on the curb to the north of the owl with flashers alerting drivers to slow down, which they did. Together we put together a plan and contacted Sarvey Wildlife Care Center to get advice about how to best secure and transport the injured bird to their center where it had the best chance of getting care. We had been able to see, as the owl swiveled its head to look at us, that its right eye was obviously injured. We had no idea what other injuries it might have. Between the three of us, we were able to get the owl into a large box to drive it to the center near Arlington. When we lifted the box to hand it over to the Sarvey Wildlife [ more LETTERS page 5 ]

June 13, 2014 [5]

www.kirklandreporter.com Care Center, the owl stood up and attempted to lift his wings, so I hoped that it might be able to recover from its injuries. The next week we learned in a message from Sarvey WCC that the Barred Owl was recovering slowly and although needing to be fed by hand, was eating and making progress. We also learned that even with only one eye, owls have been successfully returned to the wild after demonstrating being able to hunt. The care that Sarvey Wildlife Care Center provides to our injured animal neighbors is not free. They say it costs an average of $158 to rehabilitate each animal brought to them for care. If anyone thinks they may have hit an owl, or saw the injured bird that morning and wished there were something they could do to help it, there is. Please consider making a donation to the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center. Besides rehabilitating injured wild animals, they provide educational programs to schools and other places about these neighbors we seldom have a chance to see. Also, please drive carefully and watch out for animals who may not know to look out for cars. Owls are frequently vulnerable to being hit as they fly low and silently

in search of prey in the early hours of the day. We are fortunate in Kirkland to still have habitat to support wild birds such as this owl. Thank you to everyone who took the time to make a difference and save the life of this one.

We have enough memorial statues It is a mistake to bid on the Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial bronze sculpture. Our parks are filled with memorials that honor the dead. Just go to Juanita Bay Park and check out the overabundance of benches around the park. They are rarely used since it is a park that attracts walkers and most of the benches don’t have a view of the water. The only reason that they are there is to serve as a memorial for individuals that have passed away. The city even lets people install vases and place cut flowers in them. The 9/11 attack was horrific. But instead of memorializing those who died, let’s celebrate the lives of those individuals who survived the 9/11 attack, or any major disaster, and are making a recovery. We see around us how nature has its own way of healing after a windstorm or a flood or a fire. Parks are places where the citizens can enjoy nature, find peace and have fun. Let’s keep them that

way. Hopefully in the future the city will actually have the money to take better care of our parks and roadways including clearing weeds and planting flowers. The city budget doesn’t have adequate funding for that now so I can’t see spending $13,500 of tax-payer money on installing a controversial sculpture. Personally, I’d be happy if we had a moratorium on adding any more bronze sculptures to our parks and public spaces. Don’t you think Kirkland has enough?

Farmers markets open for 2014 season in Kirkland Two markets opened last week in Kirkland with high hopes for improved sales as well as weather. The Juanita Friday Market opened June 6 with an assortment of new ven-

dors but a shorter season due to poor weather last year. The market is open from 3-7 p.m. and runs until Sept. 26. Among the products sold are fruits, flowers and fresh produce grown from the local area. Tina Lathia from the

Kirkland Parks and Community Services Department said they shortened the season because, for some reason, Fridays did not receive weather as good as prior days in the week last year during the summer, though she said

meant to address those concerns. Goat Hill was included by the city of Kirkland in a proposed annexation area map in 2004. At the time, it was considered landslide hazardous. The larger neighborhood, and more specifically the steep slopes on west side of Finn Hill, were also included on both the county and city hazardous maps. The majority of the area is located in and around Big Finn Hill Park, O.O. Denny Park and Saint Edward State Park in Kenmore. But many of the houses in the Holmes Point area of Finn Hill are also included. In 2004, the city of Kirkland also came out with a map of landslide-hazardous areas located within the old city boundaries as part of their comprehensive plan. It includes areas like Crestwood in what was considered the North Juanita neighborhood, though much of the land is either open space or public land. Kirkland and King County used the same criteria for their maps when designating an area to be landslide hazardous. One of the criterion is a history of landslides, which is determined either by records or the topography, according to John Bethel, a geologist with the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks. The other criteria included were geologic factors that make the area predisposed to landslides, such as clay soil, exposed hillsides or hillsides with drainage. Triplett said the city’s

In dark grey are the areas that are landslide hazardous on Finn Hill and Goat Hill in Kirkland. CITY OF KIRKLAND code requires developers to demonstrate it is safe for them to build, usually done by hiring environmental engineers. They also have to sign a waiver acknowledging that they are building on a landslide hazardous property. After the Oso landslide the city received calls from concerned residents worried about their own homes, according to Patty Hooper, the emergency manager for the city of Kirkland. While properties have to conform to city building codes and the hazard map can act as a reference, Hooper said residents need to take steps to maintain their property in order to mitigate potential landslides. “Like all places there are inherent risk when people

intersect with nature,” Hooper said. “Whether you’re going to buy a home or rent a property, you have to be aware of that risk.” She said residents should look for signs of landslide conditions like eroding slopes, sagging utility lines or significant cracking in the pavement. Finn Hill is a neighborhood where landslides are a concern. Although some areas in the state are monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Washington State Department of Transportation, the majority are not. Additionally, hazard maps designate areas where landslides can occur, but they don’t account for how likely they are to happen. There is a fundamental difference between a

as far as sales went the vendors did well when the sun was out. Lathia said the Friday Market will hold a kid’s day every first Friday of the month on June 6, Aug. 1 and Sept. 5. The Wednesday Market at Marina Beach opened

landslide-hazardous area and an area with a high-risk for landslides, according to David Montgomery, a geologist at the University of Washington. “I would view the spirit of the mapping as basically saying, ‘Hey, here’s a place you might want to have a closer look to see how big the risk is,’” Montgomery said. “A hazard, one would think, may potentially subject the land to that kind of a thing [landslide] happening. It’s the kind of thing to me, as a geologist, that is a yellow flag, not a red flag, something you’d want to get more knowledge of and get a geologist’s opinion of.” For example, Montgomery said that a property can be designated as landslide hazardous because it is located on a steep slope, but if it is built on very stable rock or lacks drainage, the risk would be low. On the other hand, he said, if it is on a weak slope and has evidence of ancient landslides, the risk is much higher. Montgomery added that the risks can be mitigated by how the property is developed, such as building a retaining wall, shoring up the slope or controlling the drainage to prevent erosion. If insurance is a measure of risk, then the risk of a landslide on Finn Hill is not a concern for some Kirkland residents like Ken Kehle, who has lived in the same house since 1959. The area where Kehle lives is included in the county map from the 1990s. He is a retired insurance agent and has never considered insuring the house for landslides, which is not included in homeowner’s insurance.

This slide in 2010 threatened multiple homes and an access road on Goat Hill in north Kirkland. REPORTER FILE PHOTO Although major insurance carriers like Liberty Mutual do not offer landslide insurance coverage in Washington, Kehle said a homeowner can get a Difference in Conditions policy through an insurance broker. Kehle told the Reporter in May his property suffered a small landslide in the late 1960s after he installed a tennis court on the lot he owns next to his home. During the process, he removed dirt from a hillside at the edge of his property and it caused seven feet of dirt to collapse from the hill after heavy rainfall. After-

wards, he took precautions to prevent further problems by carving out a terrace on the hill, planting more trees and removing bad soil or clay on the rest of his property. “You get smarter,” he said. At the same time, he’s never worried about a major landslide due to mutual cooperation between property owners. He said this lessens the worries, since all neighbors have incentive to ensure the surrounding properties are stable. “Neighbors just work it out,” he said.

The nonscientific survey had 640 respondents, according to the city. During its May 22 meeting, the Council voted unanimously to approve a bid

for the Spirit of America 9/11 Memorial Sculpture, which would have cost roughly $13,500 to acquire the sculpture and have it installed. The Kirkland Cultural Arts Commission first considered the idea in April after being informed by a resident, and they eventually recommended it to the Parks Board. Several members of the KCAC, however, questioned whether

Kirkland was the appropriate location for the sculpture, as the 9/11 attacks occurred in New York. During its May 14 meeting, the Parks Board voted unanimously to recommend it to the City Council. The idea to purchase the sculpture was originally proposed to the arts commission by Kirkland resident Maureen Baskin, who has since withdrawn her proposal.

A 51-year-old man was arrested after aggressively confronting a 54-year-old woman several times on the bus and threatened to assault her.

Potala Village site cleanup of contaminated soil complete BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell41@gmail.com

The Potala Village construction site has completed its cleanup of soil contamination, according to the city’s consulting company. A May 29 letter from Kane Environmental, Inc. to Kirkland Senior Planner Angela Ruggeri stated that it reviewed a cleanup action report of the site and concurred with its conclusion,

which determined the site to be in conformance with the Department of Ecology’s requirements. A letter from Heather Vicks, the Potala Village site manager with the Department of Ecology’s Voluntary Cleanup Program, a unit in the Toxics Cleanup Program (TCP), also said the soil on the site has been cleaned up to standards per Washington’s Model Toxics Control Act

(MTCA). Vicks added, however, the site must receive further evaluation for the potential for groundwater contamination due to the gas station that was previously on the site and removed during construction, in addition to contamination that extends west beyond the property line. The opinions in both letters are advisory only and not legally binding on either the

Department of Ecology or Kane Environmental. Ruggeri said although the cleanup program is a voluntary state program, the city put several conditions on the site before a development permit could be issued for the property. Several of the conditions were to hire a consulting firm to oversee cleanup of the site, as well as demonstrate that the site complied with the Depart-

ment of Ecology’s rules for removing underground storage tanks. At some point, the site must also receive a no further action opinion from the Department of Ecology, though it is not required prior to receiving a permit. According to the Department of Ecology’s website, a NFA opinion is issued if there is “no further remedial action under MTCA is necessary at the property to clean up contamination associated with the site.”

The sculpture was created using debris from the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. It has four people, a firefighter, a soldier, a female office worker and a flight attendant holding hands around a piece of steel taken from the 60th floor of the World Trade Center and a piece of limestone from the fifth floor of the Pentagon.

amount of products was valued at $120. She admitted to loss prevention that she had heard it was easy to return items without a receipt so she was going to take the items and then return them. She was later released from the scene pending a court date. Warrant: 10:11, 14100 block of 73rd PL NE. A 50-year-old man was arrested after a verbal dispute broke out between himself and a 58-year-old woman. The man was arrested on a warrant out of Kenmore. Warrant: 5 p.m., 12000 block of 124th Ave NE. A 15-year-old female was arrested on an outstanding warrant out of the King County Youth Center. She was also listed as a runaway by the King County Sheriff ’s Office. She was taken to the youth center and removed from their missing list.

May 30 Theft: 12 p.m., 12600 block of Totem Lake Blvd NE. A 24-year-old man was arrested after he was caught adding reward points to his friend’s rewards card at a store the suspect worked in. He awarded himself $240 worth of store credit and the friend used the card to purchase merchandise at various store locations. The suspect admitted to the theft to loss prevention. He was charged with theft. He also has a misdemeanor warrant for his arrest for driving under suspension. The warrant was issued out of the Kirkland Municipal Court.

Brown - LW PTSA Council Award At-Large; and Sydney Chisholm - LW PTSA Council Award At-Large. The Lake Washington PTSA Council began its scholarship program over 30 years ago to assist graduating seniors with their college education. In 1990, scholarships were added for district staff to help defray the costs of continuing education. Funding for these scholarships is provided by the 41 PTA units in LWSD and members of the community. Each PTA makes an annual donation to the scholarship fund and also contributes a themed basket for the Council’s Basket Auction, which is held the first Thursday in December. All proceeds from the auction go directly to fund the scholarship. Student recipients are selected on the basis of academic achievement, leadership, and most importantly, community service. Teachers are selected on the basis of dedication to students, educational goals, and service to the community.
