Kirkland Police Chief Eric Olsen to retire in September BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

fter 27 years with the Kirkland Police Department and eight years as police chief, Eric Olsen has announced he is retiring at the end of September. For Olsen, retirement comes after what he feels is the successful accomplishment of goals for the department. “We’ve got a lot of community support,” he said. “The community supports us and it felt like it was the right time to pursue some other interests I’ve had for many years.” In addition to taking a position at Redmond-based Zetron, a communications solutions company for public safety, Olsen said

ERIC OLSEN

he’s looking forward to spending more time with his family. Olsen first started with the KPD in 1988 as a patrol officer. At the time, Kirkland’s population was less than 36,000. Olsen went on to be promoted to patrol

corporal, sergeant, lieutenant, captain and finally chief. He said the numerous roles gave him a wide perspective into how to manage the department from the top down. “Once I assumed the position of chief, I was able to understand the uniqueness of each assignment I had been in,” he said. “For example, I was a captain in charge of a major division. I knew what it was like to oversee patrol or the service side of it, because I had been in both of those positions. I could provide them insight and guidance.” His multiple roles also impacted his view of the work schedule for officers, which currently operates on a four day (two days, two [ more OLSEN page 7 ]

City allocates fund for protection and maintenance on Cross Kirkland Corridor BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

With the interim trail of the Cross Kirkland Corridor finished, the city has appropriated funds to help maintain it while the Kirkland Police Department has purchased UTVs to patrol it. During its June 16 meeting, the City Council approved $70,000 for CKC maintenance on top of the $100,000 already allocated to it from the 2012

Parks Levy. The interim trail had its grand opening in February. According to CKC Coordinator Kari Page, the city has conducted an overall maintenance assessment of the 7.75 mile corridor that lists what projects need to be done to maintain the trail and how often. The additional $70,000 will allow them to have a full-time city worker maintain the trail. Page said the trail will require daily maintenance, though

the frequency of certain projects will vary. The fund allocation was necessary, Page said, because when the city first acquired the corridor it wasn’t known how much the costs would be. “We knew we would have to maintain it because we’re buying it,” she said. “We didn’t know what kind of trail, what kind of treatment (the city would add) at intersections.” At the same time, she said, the city has had no unexpected surprises in [ more CKC page 3 ]

This upcoming school year, Rose Hill Middle School eighth grade teacher Jason Lotz will have all “the right stuff ” to help students appreciate Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) more, thanks to a week-long space camp in Huntsville, Ala. There, Lotz got the opportunity to do some real-life astronaut train-

ing including simulated astronaut training and shuttle missions, as well as designing, building and testing rockets. The trip was sponsored by Honeywell, which put on a school assembly at Rose Hill last fall focusing on Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. For Lotz, the space camp was an opportunity to learn more about STEM and how to teach it more effectively.

“I knew that was an area I needed to work on,” he said. “I wanted to try something new and different… When I received this opportunity I got really excited and wanted to give it a try.” The camp, held at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. had 200 educators from 24 countries and 39 states working together on teams.

Recently the city purchased two properties in the Houghton neighborhood on 106th Avenue Northeast to obtain an easement for the corridor. At the same time, Page said the completed connection projects won’t require much maintenance for 10-15 months and that the current funds are intended to handle maintenance for the next two years.” “As we go we will eventually need money to keep those up,” Page said. “The thing about the maintenance plan is we don’t now how to project out 10 years yet, and I think it’s only 1-2 years.” One of the reasons for the shorter-term maintenance cost estimates is due to Sound Transit’s possible

plans to install a light rail in the corridor. Maintenance then would depend on how the light rail is installed. “How would we negotiate it to run through Kirkland? Will they be on existing railbed or not? Would they build us a trail if they were to go down? There’s a chance they would build us a trail and it would look different. All those things are yet to be decided, so we don’t know the impact. We just know they’re possibly talking about going through.” The KPD has also added patrols on the corridor with two electric UTVs acquired in January as a crime preventive measure. No crimes on the corridor have been reported since it opened in February, with the only incident reported to police involving a driver who tried to take his vehicle down the corridor. The car was later towed. However, Page said there

have been a handful of vandalism and graffiti incidents. In one such case, she said, someone chopped up the railing along the corridor in the Highlands neighborhood shortly after the interim trail opened. “It hasn’t been horrible,” she said. “Just seeing it the first time it really surprised us… everybody loves the trails so it’s hard to imagine somebody would do that.” Police spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray said the patrols will ramp up during the summer months and especially during the evenings. In addition to the UTVs, they will also have bicycle patrols.

Endless Summer Days When we were little Mom would boot us out of the house and tell us to go play with our toys in the backyard. She had too many chores to do to hang out and “entertain” us all summer. She would cook, clean, do yard work – all the adult stuff that seemed so boring. Once in awhile, when the sun was so hot and the days were so long, even Mom couldn’t resist the allure of the “swimming pool”! She would try to cool off alone and my brother and I would have nothing of that, in we’d go and spoil her moment to chill and relax. Now I’m her caregiver with life responsibilities and kids of my own. And I know what she knew back then – summers fly by in an instant.

terms of costs related to maintenance. Among the maintenance work will include the flashing beacons at intersections, keeping the gravel trail level, as well as preventing erosion in several spots. They are also working to identify invasive plant species found on the trail that need to be removed, something that hassn’t yet been assessed in the maintenance plan. Page said the plant removal will be done by the Parks Department in conjunction with volunteers with the Green Kirkland Partnership. Other maintenance will be required as they add more connections to the corridor to improve resident access. Work parties with volunteer organizations have helped install steps and handrails on the corridor where it connects to neighborhoods such as at Northeast 64th Street. The city also plans to build a bridge and elevator at the South Kirkland Park and Ride located at Northeast 38th Place, where it intersects with the corridor, in order to make it more accessible.

Kirkland’s hidden gem was worth the wait

Matt Phelps

uring the past three or four months my wife and I have been trying to find time to get the kids out for a walk on the Cross Kirkland Corridor (CKC). Parents know what I am talking about. Week nights never work because there is homework, some sort of activity or in my line of work - breaking news. Weekends can be taken up with play dates, seeing family, celebrating special occasions or in my line of work - breaking news. Two weeks ago we stumbled upon a rare Saturday with nothing going on. So we packed up the kids, a stroller and some suntan lotion and drove from our home on Finn Hill to Totem Lake. It was nice to get outside with the kids and get some needed exercise together. We walked from Totem Lake to downtown. Of course we were very glad that we remembered the sunscreen because it was a very sunny day. Our trek down the trail was very enjoyable and I was surprised to see so many walkers and bikers. When we arrived downtown we got lunch at QFC, sat in Peter Kirk Park under a tree and watched some of the baseball game. The walk back was just as pleasant despite the fact that some little feet were quite tired. In all, we walked 6.5 miles on the trail and a bit more downtown. The Cross Kirkland Corridor is one of the best things the city has ever done in my opinion. It links the two main business districts of the city together. It gives residents a place to exercise without having to pay for a gym membership. It gives people another place to get out and be in nature in the city - a rarity in some parts of the greater Seattle metro area. It gives families an enjoyable way to spend some needed time together.

OPINION

It also has historical significance. In a city so rich in parks and open space preservation, the city of Kirkland has, in a sense, made a very long park all the way through the city. The trail winds through parks, past businesses, over roadways and connects south with north. Much of the trail has nice big trees on either side. It is also flat, so anyone who is mobile in any way can use the trail. The addition of a police presence and the allocation of maintenance money announced during the past month will make the trail even more attractive for everyone on the Eastside. My bet is that the trail will even contribute to the local economy by getting residents out of their homes and luring people from Bellevue, Redmond and even Seattle to Kirkland to spend a few hours or even an entire day on the CKC. The only down side for us on our walk is that we don’t live within walking or biking

distance to the trail. Those who do are very lucky. We live blocks from two major parks and I am not complaining in the least. But my hope is that the city continues to find ways to connect more Kirkland neighborhoods to this new gem. I realize that Finn Hill may not be an easy connection to the corridor. However, offshoots of the trail deeper into neighborhoods or just working to make walkways and street crossings safer will encourage more people to use it. The idea of adding light rail to the corridor is probably needed but a bit daunting. I could not imagine where on the corridor it would go and the thought of walking with a train whizzing by could drive some away from the path. But in any case, if you haven’t walked along the CKC my family recommends it.

I was not in a position, in the thick crowd, to see the speaker but I heard someone (who I surmise to have been Caucasian) say, “This is America, right?” And someone else replied, “Yeah…” The first speaker said, “Then why are we a f***ing minority in our own country?” I will not even attempt to address the myriad of things wrong with this statement — and I assume, hope actually, that most readers of the Reporter will have the same repulsed reaction I did. My initial thought was to tell this person to crawl back into whatever hole they crawled out of. But then I realized I would be perpetuating the same hate they were. Instead, I pray for forgiveness, and that these people will learn love and understanding.

Refuse To Abuse hese days, professional T sports teams are expected to publicly address domestic

and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case. In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans adopted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic violence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a domestic violence prevention campaign. The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.” Since that day, the two organizations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featuring prominent Mariners players speaking out against domestic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relationships. Having credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people. A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise money for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entirely at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ballpark, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages participants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so. For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. If you need another reason to feel good about cheering for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one. Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

What do you want to be when you grow up? “What do you want to be when you grow up?” It’s the question every American kid gets asked at least once in their lifetime, if not more (sometimes it’s not phrased as a question but a command). For some reason adults love torturing kids with such existential issues to consider when they’re still too young to ride the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Jason Lotz’s trip to the space camp in Huntsville, Ala. brought to mind my answer to the question when I was in preschool - an astronaut. Then, as now, outer space fascinated me. It was science, a subject that I could have gone without studying, but there was a mystery and awe of the unknown to it all. It was also the natural

explorer in me, as in all true red-blooded boys. To leave behind the Earth and enter into an entirely new, unexplored region of the universe, going hundreds of miles per hour, not knowing if you will ever make it back, offered a sense of adventure, an opportunity to see what existed beyond our knowledge. Anything to get away from doing chores - kids today still do those, right? I’m sure watching Empire Strikes Back repeatedly at my cousins’ house aided in providing me with creative ideas of what I’d find out there, in addition to cheesy 1950s illustrations of what life would be like on a Mars colony (incurable optimists, they were). Admittedly, I got little impatient waiting until adulthood to take a stab TJ Martinell

at astronaut training and decided to create my own rocket ship, a la Jules Verne. Perhaps I should have paid more attention during science class, but apparently you’re limited in the distance you can travel without the aid of liquid oxygen, no matter how many layers of duct tape you wrap around it after repeated failed launches. I blame it on Newton for discovering gravity. He should have just left it where he found it. I suppose I succeeded in one respect, though. Although I never managed to get so much as into the sub-stratosphere, my parents informed me that my mind seemed to be perpetually in outer space. One small step for man, one might say. While my dreams of flying into space - where I probably would have pulled a Christopher Columbus and accidentally

landed on another planet than the one I planned on - were never realized, I still maintained that interest in space exploration growing up. Homer Hickham’s “Rocket Boys” is one of my favorite books, and for science fair projects I launched model rockets, some of which may still be awaiting recovery in a random tree at Marymore Park. Whenever there’s a clear sky out at night, particularly in a rural area, I keep a copy of a book on constellations near at hand. The truth is few people ever end up doing what they originally think they will when they proclaim it to their parents at four years old, but that doesn’t mean they have to lose interest in it.

City of Kirkland warns residents of dangers from heat With the state-wide drought emergency declared by Gov. Jay Inslee, the burn ban issued by the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for DNR-protected lands, the current dry conditions, and the recent high temperatures, there is concern about rising fire danger and the wellbeing of citizens. Kirkland residents are encouraged to be proactive in planning to stay safe in the heat and take appropriate measures to stay safe and protect property. In hot and dry conditions, city parks become susceptible to fires. When visiting parks, keep a look out for potential fire dangers and call 9-1-1 to report suspicious activity. The city of Kirkland reminds residents about the im-

portance of preparing for all types of emergencies and disasters, including fire and extreme heat. For details on how to prepare, visit www.kirklandwa.gov/prepare.

Extreme heat Weather advisories and warnings are issued by the National Weather Service (www.weather. gov). The NWS cautions to drink plenty of water during times of extreme heat, stay hydrated and be in an air conditioned area, especially if susceptible to the heat. As temperatures inside parked cars can rise very quickly to deadly levels, children and pets should never be

left in one. Public buildings such as Kirkland City Hall, the two city Community Centers (North Kirkland and Peter Kirk) and public libraries offer air conditioning during their regular business hours as places for you to stay cool. No food or beverage is provided.

Burn bans There are two different types of burn bans: Fire safety and air quality. Air quality burn bans are issued and enforced by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (www.pscleanair.org) when air pollution levels rise to unhealthy levels, typically in colder fall

and winter months. Fire Safety Burn Bans are issued and enforced by State, County or local jurisdictions when dryer weather conditions heighten the risk of wildfires. The city of Kirkland Fire Marshal’s Office does not allow open burning on public land or of yard debris and garbage. Permits for bonfires are not being issued during the current weather pattern. These restrictions do not include small recreational fires on private property where setbacks and safety measures are taken. Contact the City’s Fire Marshal’s Office at fireinspector@kirklandwa. gov or 425-587-3650 for more information.

center’s ambiance helped set the right tone for their training. “We were busy the entire time,” Lotz said. “It definitely felt like we were somewhere related to space. The whole campus is for space, rockets all over the place. We had artifacts from different missions all around. I definitely felt the environment was very conducive to learning about this.” As part of his 14-man team, Lotz got to work inside a training center for a simulated rocket launch and docking at the International Space Station. There, they had to make repairs and then have the rocket make a successful reentry. “Each person had their own job, and it felt real,” he said. “We had responsibilities. We had problems that arose. We really got into it. It was the definition of collaboration. I had 13 people I had just met a couple days ago and we had to work together. The great thing that it really led to were times of feeling academically and mentally challenged.” Lotz and the others also got to meet real astronauts, as well as Ed Buckbee, who worked with the first Mercury astronauts and was able to give a first-hand account of what it was like to work in the United States’ space program during its early years. “Many of my group members were pretty inspired by that,” Lotz said. One thing Lotz said he learned while in Huntsville was how much the city’s identity is inextricably linked to that of the space program. “That’s what they are known for and they are very proud of it,” he said. As far as lesson plans are concerned, Lotz said he hopes to incorporate aspects of space exploration into the different classes he teaches, including one on pre-chemstry and the human body. “I want to take the whole of space and tie it into everything,” he said. “For example, we study human body at the end if the school year. What happens

to your body when you go into space? You actually get taller, and you lose bone mass - you’re not using the bones because you’re floating. I want to show that in the classroom.” The hope, he said, is that giving real-life examples will help students connect better with the material and allow those who aren’t naturally interested in science an opportunity to explore it in a way that will pique their curiosity. “Basically, I think what it’ll do is get rid of the stigma or stereotype that comes along with STEM,” he said. “You can tie it back to almost anything. These activities can help everybody. It’s finding that one little thing the kid is strong at. Just because it’s science doesn’t mean the kid who’s not good at it can’t do it as well. They feel more engaged if they have a theme to tie back to.” The use of STEM is also becoming more popular. “My common sense tells me it helps people to become more balanced they’re going to have more skills,” he said. “Students don’t realize how important math is, no matter where you are. With engineering, it’s in the news every day that we need more engineers. With STEM, from what I’ve heard and seen and done is the students don’t realize they’re doing engineering.” Another thing he wants to help students realize is that space exploration is not just for those who want to be astronauts. “You can be an engineer working on the rocket,” he said. “You can be doing PR for NASA. There’s so many others things.” Lotz’s biggest hope, however, is that more and more teachers from the district will attend the space camp each year. “If we can get one or two every year in a certain period of time, we have one teacher from every middle school going,” he said. “And it’s not only the enthusiasm that is brought onto other students. It’s something that is easy to relate to science. Kids love space.”

BRIEFS

Friends of Youth to rehire Pottmeyer Friends of Youth’s Board of Directors has announced that it will rehire its former President and CEO, Terry Pottmeyer to once again lead the youth serving agency. In order to pursue personal and professional goals, Pottmeyer transitioned out of the top job last December after leading the agency through the successful completion of a two year, $7 million capital campaign, including construction of seven new facilities, and increasing the agency’s programming for youth and its budget by more than 40 percent.

“When I joined Friends of Youth in January of 2010 the great recession had taken a tremendous toll on the children, youth and families we serve. By 2011 we had seen a 46 percent increase in the number of homeless youth seeking our services, deeply concerning increases in depression, suicide and substance abuse rates, and an unprecedented upswing in undocumented youth escaping trafficking and abuse,” Pottmeyer said. The Board conducted a nine-month search and had the opportunity to clearly articulate the qualities and characteristics the agency would need in its next leader. “We met many strong candidates in our search, and are very grateful to them for their interest in our work,” said Board chair Terry Hall. “What this process has shown us

is that Friends of Youth has an exciting future in fulfilling our mission of serving the needs of at-risk youth in our communities. We needed a CEO that had the experience and talents of Terry Pottmeyer. The board realized that Terry was the best person to lead us and undertook conversations with her about returning to her previous role. Under Terry’s leadership Friends of Youth is poised to continue to respond to the ever changing needs of the youth we serve and continue to be a thought leader for the community serving at-risk youth.” Pottmeyer will rejoin the agency on a part time basis in July, fulfilling her current commitment as the part time Interim Executive Director at Attain Housing. She expects to return full time by the end of the summer.

coming in the fall, the city has announced its plans to begin the search for a new police chief. “I think it has to be somebody who has to have a strong sense of community,” Olsen said. “They have to be able to work well as a team with the council, the city manager, the other department heads. The new chief needs to be a cop, a police officer, somebody who understands the job.” Olsen currently serves as president of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC), serving on the Executive Board since 2010. A graduate of the FBI Academy, he is also a member of several law enforcement associations including the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the King County Police Chief ’s Association. “Chief Olsen has created a culture of integrity within the Kirkland Police Department that has rightfully earned him and his organization the respect of the City Council, City organization, community and other law enforcement agencies,” Mayor Amy Walen said in a press release. “He has returned that respect with confidence, leadership, and a calmness that makes you always feel safe.”

nights) 12-hour shift schedule. Olsen said they are in the process of changing the schedule as part of their contract negotiations. If the change is made, officers would work a four day work week with 10-hour shifts. “One of my goals was to get to a new schedule that wasn’t as difficult to work, something that would provide a better quality of life,” he said. “I had worked it and I knew how difficult it was.” While acting as chief, Olsen said the two greatest challenges for the department was the 2011 annexation and budget cuts following the Great Recession in 2008. In response, the city cut spending for services, including the police budget. Olsen stated that while it was one of the biggest challenges he faced as chief, he was also pleased that they were able to find a way to avoid laying off any staff or officers, though they left several positions unfilled. “It wasn’t easy, but we were able to do that,” he said. “I was able to forecast some of the attrition that was going to occur.” Following the Recession, the city then grew to 81,000 people following the annexation of the Finn Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate neighborhoods, adding 31,000 new residents. The annexation resulted in the KPD doubling in size, hiring 40 new officers to cover the new territory and, until the Kirkland Justice Center opened last year, forced them to contend with the limited space available at City Hall. Since he first started as a patrol officer, Olsen said the responsibilities and expectations of the department have changed dramatically. Detectives have also gone from a more general approach to investigations in favor of specializing in certain crimes. “Very rarely is there a generalist who does anything anymore,” he said. “I think policing has become more complex in regard to what our officers are expected to do,” he said. “The use of technology, complex laws, community expectations; that’s a much more difficult job.” Certain crimes, such as drunk driving, auto thefts, domestic violence and car prowls have dropped off

since his first years in Kirkland, he said. Now, they’re having to confront the rise of technology-based crimes like identity theft and Internet sex crimes, and drugs still continue to be a problem. Olsen was also a catalyst in the creation of the web-based tool “Crime Mapping,” which allows residents to track criminal activity within the city. The tool was created in response to a desire by the Public Safety Committee to offer crime data for residents. Looking into the future, Olsen said they are working on their strategic plan process for the next five years and expressed hope that they would be able to reinstate their Proact Team, which was dissolved in order to provide more patrol officers during annexation. “We’re going to have to review whether we’re meeting the community’s needs with our service. Is it adequate? Just because I’m leaving doesn’t mean the chief ’s work is done, but we’ve got great command staffs and great police officers.” With Olsen’s retirement

Washington’s average annual wage increased by 4.2 percent in 2014 to $54,829, according to the state Employment Security Department – the largest percentage increase since 2007. The average weekly wage rose to $1,054 – up from $1,012 in 2013. These figures include only those wages that are covered by unemployment

insurance. Total earnings grew by nearly $9.7 billion in 2014 to $161.5 trillion – a 6.4 percent increase. Overall, the average number of workers in Washington covered by unemployment insurance grew by 62,942 to more than 2.9 million in 2014. The three industries with the largest average wage growth in 2014 were the information sector, up 10.3 percent; arts, entertainment and recreation, up 6.5 percent; and retail trade, up

4.3 percent. ESD uses the average annual wage to calculate unemployment benefits for jobless workers. The minimum weekly unemployment benefit, calculated at 15 percent of the average weekly wage, will increase from $151 to $158 for new claims opened on or after July 5. At the same time, the maximum weekly benefit, calculated at 63 percent of the average weekly wage, will increase from $637 to $664.

Why? The simple fact is that at some point, mom or dad may need help organizing and/or managing their finances. Sharing important information with one another today may help you and your family be prepared when the time comes that you or a sibling needs to step in to lend a hand. Important topics to consider in such a conversation include insurance, creating an inventory of your parents’ assets and liabilities, ensuring your parents have enough money to provide for their retirement, establishing your parents’ wishes regarding passing on their wealth in the event of their death, and more. Talking about money, potential health considerations and other “private matters” may sometimes seem awkward and having these kinds of conversations as a family can be

challenging. But doing so today helps to ensure everyone is on the same page, making it easier for your family down the road. To help navigate those potentially difficult areas, here are a few tips for meaningful family money conversations: • Communicate your desire to help one another prepare to transition responsibilities. • Discuss your feelings and needs regarding changing roles. • Understand parental circumstances, needs and values regarding money. • Consider parental health care, end of life and financial legacy wishes. • Seek to align children’s strengths with future duties. • Identify profession-

als who may be able to provide assistance, as necessary. • Commit to periodically revisiting the conversation to see if anything has changed. For assistance or advice, contact a financial professional. They can help your family both before and after these important conversations.

Find the history of work done on a home from your computer know how to make metric based decisions.” The idea, he said, is that the information on the site allows homeowners to find out what had been done on a home. “The consumer doesn’t know what goes into these sorts of projects,” he said. “They don’t always know what labor costs should be, how long it

should take. What we’re trying to solve is information about the contracting business.” Along with a free bidding system for work, BuildZoom also provides contractor score rankings, based on criteria such as the consistency of their permitting work, whether their license has been revoked or not, and their

status with the Better Business Bureau. Wei said they also plan to add user feedback at some point. To look up contractors in the Kirkland area,

go to buildzoom.com/ kirkland-wa. To look up permits done in Kirkland, go to buildzoom.com/map/ kirkland-wa.

irklanders looking to find the right contractor to perform work on their home or find out what work has been done on a prospective house can now do so. Through the use of a permit mapping project, California-based BuildZoom allows users to find out what types of permits were applied for homes in the city as far back as 2010, as well as the contractor who performed the work. The searches can be narrowed down by the type, such as architecture, plumbing, roofing and electrical, and the budget. The information is gathered through a variety of sources, including over 600 local permit departments. According to co-founder Jiyan Wei, who started the company with David Petersen, they created the

map to help homeowners make more informed choices about contractors they hire. “Any contractor that is licensed we want to establish a work history,” he said. “We want to show where they have worked.” He said it’s also useful for realtors, as well as insurance companies, who are looking for additional information beyond that provided by the local tax assessor. “They realize there is a gap in the real estate data that this fills,” Wei said. Wei said they first thought of the idea after he purchased a house five years ago and hired a contractor to do work on it, but the work was done so poorly he ended up having to hire a second one to fix the problems. “There wasn’t a good way to find out who’s out there,” he said. “There was no central authority where I could go and get reliable information and

The first conceptual design conference was held June 15, and now Talon is working with the board on the specific design for each building in the first phase, according to Bill Pollard, one of Talon’s principal owners. Pollard said the site plan now includes two office buildings with retail on the ground floor, one of them will include the current QFC, which Pollard said will be double its current size, along with other retail, while the second floor will have restaurants. The office space, he said, will be on the upper floors of the eight-story building. As part of the plan, one building will be residential, with 225 units. The Master

Plan looks to have 300 units total on the Parkplace property, 10 percent of which would be for affordable housing. The City Council voted to approve zoning changes to the Parkplace property as well as the Master Plan and Design Guidelines in order to allow for more residential use. After purchasing the property from Touchstone, Talon amended the Master Plan to reduce the overall size. As they continue working with the design review board for the first phase of the project, Talon plans to eventually put in their application for building permits. Pollard said they hope to break ground beginning in the first quarter of 2016. For Parkplace businesses, the redevelopment means relocation for the duration of the project, and though many of them have expressed their hope to return, others have said the costs of moving a second time are too much.

“We understand that may not be practical and they may choose to relocate and not come back again,” Pollard said. “We’re talking to all of them and we would love to have them back.” When they first announced their plans for redevelopment in October, Pollard and fellow principal owner Jim Neal said they intended to engage in community outreach. Since then, they’ve held around 30 community meetings, and so far, Pollard said, the response has been positive from both residents as well as the council and the planning commission. “I would say the community support has been wonderful,” he said. “We continue to have dialogue with various community members as the design starts to mature. I think it’s been a great ‘give and take’ with the community and most people feel pretty pleased with what’s being planned.”

WSDOT testing for motorcyclists to ride toll-free in 405 toll lanes As Interstate 405 express toll lanes get ready to open in early fall, the Washington State Department of Transportation is testing ways for motorcyclists to use a motorcycle pass without activating a pre-paid Good to Go! account. WSDOT has heard concerns from motorcyclists who don’t want to open a pre-paid Good To Go! account simply to activate the pass needed to avoid paying a toll on the I-405 express lane tolls. “Many motorcycle drivers already have a pass that is active on a Good To Go! account because they use one of our other toll facilities, but we’ve heard from other motorcycle owners who only drive I-405 and don’t cross the SR 520 or the Tacoma Narrows bridges,” said Toll Operations Director, Patty Rubstello. “So we’re testing a solution that would require a Good To Go! motorcycle pass be installed to drive toll-free on the I-405 express toll lanes, but doesn’t require an account.” The Washington State Transportation Commission determined motorcycles are exempt from tolls on I-405 express toll lanes as long as they have a motorcycle pass. The pass notifies the toll system that the vehicle is exempt and prevents the motorcycle from receiving a toll bill. Motorcyclists are also exempt on State Route 167 HOT lanes but are not required to have a motorcycle pass to travel free there because that toll facility does not have photo tolling and the Pay By Mail payment option. In April, WSDOT announced a program to provide free motorcycle passes to motorcycle drivers who plan to use the new I-405 express toll lanes. Over 2,200 motorcyclists have requested a free pass. The motorcycle passes, normally $8, have a clear backing and do not affect headlamp light or visibility. The first free motorcycle passes will begin arriving in mailboxes this week. “We’ve seen a great response so far to the incentive and we’ve exceeded our

www.kirklandreporter.com initial goal of 2,000 passes. We will continue offering free passes while supplies last,” Rubstello said. WSDOT is still encouraging motorcyclists to activate their motorcycle pass by adding it to a Good To Go! account. Drivers with an existing account can add the pass at MyGoodToGo.com or by calling 1-866-936-8246. If the pass is active on a Good To Go! account, it can be used to pay a toll on the State Route 520 or the Tacoma Narrows bridges where motorcycles are required to pay tolls. Motorcyclists interested in the option of using a pass without a Good to Go! account should email WSDOT at 405carpool@ wsdot.wa.gov and wait to activate their free motorcycle pass. WSDOT will notify motorcyclists prior to the express toll lanes opening this fall to confirm that this option is ready. Motorcyclists participating in this program would receive a bill in the mail when crossing the SR 520 or Tacoma Narrows bridges because their pass would not be tied to a Good To Go! account. Visit GoodToGo405. org to learn more about I-405 express toll lanes and the requirements for the motorcycle incentive program. An animated video explains how to get ready for this fall and gives an example of what a trip may look like in the express toll lanes.

Crews are completing Park Lane, building the Rose Hill Gateway and beginning work to prepare the Forbes Creek Bridge for earthquakes BY CHRISTIAN KNIGHT City of Kirkland

irkland’s capital improvement program is in the midst of designing, building and completing projects that are improving the city. A digest of those projects is included below:

Park Lane

Street preservation A contracted work crew is now improving wheelchair access to sidewalks along seven of Kirkland’s arterials. Trinity Construction is currently rebuilding the wheelchair ramps at crosswalks along Bridle Trail’s Northeast 60th Street. Later in the summer, Trinity will improve wheelchair access along 116th, 124th and 132nd Avenues northeast and Seventh Street South. It finished earlier in June rebuilding curb ramps along Kingsgate’s Northeast 144th and 143rd Street Northeast, as well as Finn Hill’s Northeast 141st Street. These improvements prepare the seven arterials for repaving, which Kirkland’s overlay contractor will perform, starting in July. The seven arterials Kirkland will repave this summer are as follows: • Finn Hill’s 141st, from Juanita Drive to Northeast 84th Street • Kingsgates 144th

Fourth street water main

Johansen Excavating laborers Armando Alvarado, left, and Donald Boon prepare a stormwater catch-basin near 120th Avenue Northeast on the morning of June 30 for the new sidewalk, curb and gutter that concrete workers will pour this week. Kirkland’s City Council voted unanimously on June 16 to cut 50 days of paving down to 30 nights of paving on Northeast 85th Street. Project engineers expect the paving to start as early as September. CHRISTIAN KNIGHT, city of Kirkland and 143rd, from 132nd Avenue Northeast to the city’s limits • North Rose Hill’s seven-block section of 132nd Avenue Northeast, from Northeast 113th to 120 Street, which borders Lake Washington Institute of Technology and 124th Avenue Northeast from Northeast 100th Street to Northeast 108th Place • The Highlands’ 116th Avenue Northeast, from Northeast 87th Street to Northeast 95th Street • Bridle Trails’ Northeast 60th Street, from Ben Franklin Elementary to 132nd Avenue Northeast • Moss Bay’s Seventh Avenue South, from Fifth Place South to State Street Residents in North Rose Hill, North Juanita and Kingsgate are now planning ahead for an eight-hour process that will extend the lives of their neighborhood roads by five to 10 years. Kirkland’s contractor will apply the street-saving slurry seal late July or early August to roughly 30 lane miles of neighborhood roads. The process requires residents to keep their vehicles off the roads for eight hours.

Sixth street Construction will begin in late summer on a

quarter-mile of sidewalk that will connect First Avenue South to Google’s campus. Project Engineer Aparna Khanal expects work crews to complete the sidewalk by the end of the year. Later in the year, contractors will begin installing a pair of traffic signals at Sixth Street’s intersections with Ninth Avenue South and Kirkland Way. At Kirkland Way, the city will reconfigure the intersection to accommodate buses’ wide left-hand turns and rebuild it with concrete to withstand buses’ heavy loads. That intersection improvement, as well as the traffic signal at Ninth Avenue South could be done early next summer.

Forbes Creek bridge The Juanita Bay causeway and Forbes Creek

Bridge will remain open this summer while construction crews retrofit the Forbes Creek Bridge to handle small-scale earthquakes. On four nights late this summer, crews will have to detour automobiles around the bridge. Those detours will begin at 8 p.m. and continue until 5 a.m. People traveling by bike or by foot will continue to have access.

Northeast 85th Street The City Council voted unanimously June 16 to cut 50 days of paving down to 30 nights of paving on Kirkland’s busiest arterial. The decision to pave at night will improve customer access to scores of businesses along what is one of Kirkland’s most important economic corridors. And it will improve traffic flow along

Kirklanders got their first chance on July 6 to observe how cars, pedestrians and cyclists will share Park Lane’s curbless, brick-lined surface. That’s when the renewed street re-opened to drivers. The general contractor will finish its last task—replacing Park Lane’s street lights and hanging a canopy of string lighting—shortly thereafter. In the meantime, Kirkland’s shoppers, diners, pedestrians and cyclists continue to enjoy Park Lane’s brick-lined streetscape. The west block opened to foot and bicycle traffic May 29.

11630 Slater Ave. NE, St 9, Kirkland, WA 98034 • 425.822.9166 • www.kirklandreporter.com

Design finished last week on a project to replace the 66-year-old water main beneath Fourth Street, between 15th and 18th Avenues. The new eight-inch water main will increase the system’s capacity and ensure a reliable delivery source for potable water. Project staff expects construction to begin in August and to continue through September. During construction, crews will keep at least one travel lane open.

Striping Kirkland’s striping contractor is halfway through its work to improve the visibility of the city’s street markings. That work will likely be complete in July. This includes bike lanes, fog lines, numerous thermoplastic crosswalks and other onpavement symbols.

Intelligent transportation systems The city begins in July upgrading 17 traffic

signals along parts of Kirkland’s most traveled east-to-west and northto-south corridors. The upgrade uses fiber optics and Intelligent Transportation Systems technology to connect all 17 traffic signals to each other and to the City’s Traffic Management Center. From the Transportation Management Center in City Hall, Kirkland’s transportation engineers can then analyze real-time traffic flow and, when necessary to reduce chronic congestion, adjust traffic signals’ timing. The work will require contracted work crews to take off-line the first eight traffic signals for one day each week over a span of eight weeks. On those eight days, uniformed police officers will control traffic through the respective intersections from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Rose Point sewer lift station Design consultants are surveying the Market neighborhood’s Rose Point for a replacement to the five-decade-old sewage lift station. The survey will help the project team decide where the new lift station will go. The project team expects to finish the design by winter.

Construction ramps up on Kirkland streets

the city’s busiest arterial. It achieves this by shifting much of the repaving work to a time when most of the 44,000 automobiles that travel daily along Northeast 85th Street are not on the road. To protect 85th Streetarea residents, who live east of 126th Avenue Northeast, Kirkland’s paving contractor will perform the loudest parts of the job during the day. That entails a process known as ‘lowering iron’—removing the lids of manhole covers and storm drains. Paving would likely begin in September.
