Four candidates vie for council position No. 2 during primary Incumbent Shelly Kloba faces local business owner, Kirkland Park Board member and a third generation Kirkland native BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The race for Kirkland City Council Position No. 2 seems to be more of a competition between different leadership styles and experience rather than opposing ideological views. Incumbent Shelley Kloba, who was appointed to the position in 2013 and
won re-election, is running on her ability to collaborate with other councilmembers on accomplishing things for the city, as well as her perspective from previous work in advocacy. “I have a record that they can look at,” she said. “(As an advocate) I know what it’s like to be on that side of the desk. I remember what
kind of leader I wanted across the table from me, and I work hard to try to be that.” Among the council’s accomplishments, she cited the city’s Triple A credit rating while keeping the price of government low, as well as the council’s progress with the Aquatic and Recreation Community (ARC)
Center, which first came up while she was serving on the Kirkland Park Board. “To see that so many people are falling in love with it… I think those are some major things that I’m pleased with,” she said. One of Kloba’s opponents, Bill Henkens, said he brings the perspective of local business owners
as well as residents who live in the 2011 annexation area of Kirkland. A 35-year resident and owner of the Game Neighborhood Bar and Grill in Juanita, he said his taxes for the business have gone up by $5,000 a year since annexation. “Anytime you have a high taxation issue it affects your ability to give people raises,”
KPD seeks volunteers for Domestic Abuse Response Team BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The Kirkland Police Department is looking for more volunteers for its Domestic Abuse Response Team (DART) program, which helps victims of domestic violence. The volunteers provide support for victims of domestic violence by doing followup phone calls, assisting victims brought to the police station after a domestic violence incident and occasionally aiding officers on-scene. “We’ve had that going for quite some time and we’re getting a little low on volunteers,” Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray said. “It’s been really good for our department.” During the past five years, the KPD handled 2,984 domestic violence case reports and made 368 adult arrests for domestic violence, along with 34 juvenile arrest, according to Murray, who said that the rate has remained about the same.
“It’s a pretty regular significant crime,” he said. “There isn’t a shift that goes by that there isn’t one or two domestic incidents a day. And sometimes it might range from folks yelling at each other to an actual assault.” The KPD has two full-time detectives who handle domestic violence cases as part of the family violence unit, which also deals with child and adult abuse incidents, according to Murray. “They’re plenty busy,” he said. When it comes to responding to domestic violence calls, Murray said one of their biggest challenges is the unpredictable circumstances or behavior they encounter. In some instances, he said, officers will arrive at a residence where a couple has been fighting, determine the man was responsible, only to have the woman suddenly turn to defend him. “Pretty soon you’re fighting with the female,” he said. “You never know [ more ABUSE page 9 ]

July 13 Theft: 6:35 p.m., 200 block of Parkplace Ctr. While at Parkplace, an officer was informed of a 28-year-old disheveled homeless man who had attempted to steal alcohol from the QFC.

The man answered, “No.” He was cited for theft, released and removed from the property.
July 12 Assault: 2:07 p.m., 100 block of Lake Street S. A 25-year-old woman was arrested and booked for domestic violence after attacking her 36-year-old boyfriend. Accusing him of stealing a $100 bill from her, she then kicked and punched him, and bit him several times. The boyfriend finally jumped out the second story window to escape. She later found the $100 bill in her own property.
July 11 Vehicle theft: 8:19 p.m., 200 block of Parkplace Ctr. A 17-year-old girl got into an argument with a 30-year-old man while they were driving. When they parked, the man became upset, exited the vehicle and smashed the girl’s phone. He then threw a bottle of orange juice at her and pushed and

Whether you rent or own... it can affect you.” Speaking with residents during door-to-door stops, Kloba said a large concern she’s heard from them is transportation and traffic congestion, which she said will require several solutions such as the construction of freeway ramps for Interstate 405 at Northeast 132nd Street, an intelligent traffic system that will offer real time adjustment for traffic signals and improvements along the 100th Avenue corridor to mitigate congestion. “The reality is... to keep building lots of roads is not the solution that would provide us with the walking communities,” she said.

GUEST EDITORIAL
The waiting game in the race for Lt. Gov.
S
tate Sen. Steve Hobbs isn’t shy about his political ambitions. The Lake Stevens Democrat has been very open about wanting to add to his political résumé in 2016 by becoming the state’s next lieutenant governor. That is, if the job is open. Hobbs made clear he won’t run for the statewide office if the current five-term lieutenant governor, Brad Owen, seeks re-election. “I am considering it depending on what he does,” Hobbs said. “Right now we have an effective Lieutenant Governor, and until that changes I’m happy to continue working on economic development, transportation and education issues for the hard working people in my district.” Hobbs must be confident Owen will decide to not run, because he’s already mulling the kinds of obstacles he’d face in what would be his first statewide campaign. One issue, money, is not an immediate problem. He’s socked away about $150,000 in surplus campaign funds that could be used. But Hobbs iterated that his decision hinges on whether Owen runs again or retires. And Owen said, “I’m not sure when that decision will be made.” To keep his options open, Owen said he would register as a candidate with the state Public Disclosure Committee. And he’ll set up a campaign committee to raise money, should he go forward. All this campaign talk is pretty rare for a fairly unique position in state government, with both executive and legislative duties. The lieutenant governor is president of the state Senate. He presides during floor sessions and, as the chamber’s lead parliamentarian, can issue rulings which uphold or derail contested legislative maneuvers. And the lieutenant governor is first in the line of gubernatorial succession, which means he steps in
as acting governor whenever the real one is out of state or otherwise unable to serve. It happened 69 days in 2011 and 45 in 2012. Owen has been doing this job for a long time. He was first elected in 1996. He’s guided the state Senate through its share of roughand-tumble sessions with a steady hand and timely humor. But he could face a tough time securing a sixth term because of his past off-thedais behavior. In 2014, the Washington State Executive Ethics Board fined him for improper use of state resources in support of his now defunct nonprofit Strategies for Youth. Among its findings, the board concluded staff in the lieutenant governor’s office worked on taxpayer time for his nonprofit. Owen insisted he did nothing wrong but agreed to pay the fine to put the episode behind him. But that issue is certain to resurface should he run again and it may be too much to overcome.

OPINION
[4] July 24, 2015
Meanwhile, it’s not abundantly clear why Hobbs – who was mentored by Aaron Reardon and in turn mentored Kevin Hulten – now wants to be lieutenant governor. Last year, Hobbs was weighing a run for county executive. The job would pay a greater salary and give him the title of ‘acting governor’ a few times a year. But the 45-year-old husband and father of three would lose much of the influence he now enjoys in the Legislature. “It is a leadership role. It is an executive position,” he explained. “I see the office as more than presiding over the Senate. It is a means to move our state forward and facilitate a compromise when both parties are at loggerheads over an issue.” And a means for the ambitious Hobbs to build on his political résumé – but only if the job opens up.

CKC bike riders need to respect others on the trail I agree with Zita Petkus. I live in the Forbes Creek neighborhood. I walk my dog Izzie along the CKC many times per week. Izzie is always on leash as she wanders back and forth on the trail sniffing at things unseen. I rein her in when I see fellow walkers or bike riders coming towards me. I wouldn’t have a problem with bike riders coming up behind me if only they would announce themselves. The sound of tires rolling on gravel does not allow much time to react. I am afraid that one day my dog or I will be clipped by a bike rider and we’ll all pay a price. I suggest that the new security officers on their four-wheelers spend some time educating bike riders about the rules of the road and common courtesy. Bells and voice calls are an easy solution. And if the bikers don’t comply, let’s hire Seattle Officer Glen Mulkey (Seattle Times front page, 7/16/15).

Nearly 100 cats and dogs were adopted in just four hours during the Pawsitive Alliance’s Bow Wow Meow Luau multi-shelter adoption event held at Denny’s Pet World in Kirkland. The 12th animal that was adopted during this event was the organization’s 5,000th adoption. All 195 adoptable cats and dogs who attended the event were brought by western and central Washington rescues and shelters, not private owners or breeders, and each animal was perfect in their own way but just lacked a perfect home. “We were thrilled to see a line of people extending into the parking lot before the event started at 10 a.m. This shows that people are opting to adopt – homeless animals are wonderful and shelters and rescues really are a great source for a new pet,” said Tammy Halstead, board member. As successful as this event

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.
If you are caring for a parent, full or part time, you deserve a break. Go ahead and plan that summer get-away, it’s important to reconnect with your spouse and kids – slow down, breathe.

Council adopts ordinance for multi-family residential developments The Kirkland City Council approved a “rightsize parking” ordinance on Tuesday that alters the parking requirements for multi-family residential developments. Before the vote, the city’s standard was 1.7 parking stalls for every bedroom. In the central business district, the current multi-family parking requirement is one stall per bedroom with minimum average of 1.3 stalls per unit, plus 0.1 stalls per bedroom for visitor parking.

Kirkland police K-9 tracks car prowel suspect, arrest made Kirkland Police officers arrested a car prowler after responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle in an apartment complex in the Totem Lake Neighborhood on July 16. A resident of the apartment complex reported seeing a male throwing documents and credit cards from the vehicle and driving throughout the complex. The call came in to the KPD at 2:43 p.m. and officers responded to the 13100 block of NE 120th Lane. Officers contacted a male sitting in the driver’s seat of the running vehicle. The male refused to exit the vehicle or comply with officers’ commands and upon contact drove out of the complex at a high rate of speed.

These standards apply everywhere in the city except for the Yarrow Bay Business District 1, where the South Kirkland Transit Oriented Design Site is located, which is on a caseby-case basis. The ordinance increases the base minimum parking by 10 percent, to be set aside for visitors.

During a study session by the council at its Feb. 4 meeting on a right size parking ordinance proposal, councilmembers discussed the study the Planning Commission claimed found a surplus of parking stalls in residential developments. The study itself was based on the King County’s Right Size Parking (RSP) project, which discovered the same surplus. Some residents, however, have criticized the study’s findings for what they feel were unaccounted variables, with others having stated that the proposed changes would reduce the amount
of parking in the city. Late last year, the Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods voted unanimously to request public comment be extended on the proposed ordinance to allow more input from neighborhood residents. The Planning Commission first took up the matter at a study session in November 2013 with the Houghton Community Council.

Their doorman product can be timed to give the pet exclusive access in and out of the house using a collar, and the access can be customized if there are several pets in the house. “They don’t have to worry about letting the pet out at five o’clock,” Welch said. “They don’t have to worry about getting out of the yard… they don’t have to worry about the pet getting on a white sofa. The indoor solution keeps the pet away from the sofa, but still allows the pet to run freely through the house. It just makes it easier to have a pet and to incorporate them into your life.” The system has proved popular for cat owners in the Seattle area, where Welch said they have more

Although there are some cases where there are random outbursts of physical violence, Murray said most of the time alcohol is involved and the incident is precipitated by suspicions of infidelity. “It’s just the trust thing,â€? he said. “That tends to be where one side or the other thinks they’re with somebody else or not where they said they are. Everybody’s grabbing the other’s phone‌ that’s the more common we see, that instant anger type thing. What happens is that cycle of violence. Once the guy starts that, and if he grew up that way, that’s all he knows. Pour a few beers on top of that and there you go.â€? The “he said, she saidâ€? incidents also make it difficult to determine who the primary aggressor is, Murray said. Attempting to get both sides of the story without further violence, when emotions are still high, can lead to further violence. “It’s difficult for the officers, especially if only two
show up,� he said. “They have to separate them to get each of their story, but they got to be able to stay safe and keep each other in proximity. If they go off, the officer has to be able to help out the other one.� Another problem with domestic violence cases is that the victims will often not cooperate with the prosecutors for various reasons. “Even though they may have been a victim of a pretty good assault, you get into the pattern where he says he’s sorry and he won’t do it again,� he said. “We know it’s all gonna happen again, so that’s a difficult situation.

With this achievement, EvergreenHealth joins 22 percent of hospitals in the U.S. that carry a Stage 6 distinction from HIMSS Analytics, a nonprofit leader in health information technology (IT) implementation. The HIMSS Electronic Medical Record Adoption Model is an eight-stage process that tracks the level of EMR adoption within healthcare organizations.
Each stage, 0-7, is measured by cumulative capabilities that must be reached before moving to the next stage.

stronger provider-to-provider communication, increased patient care safeguards, higher patient engagement and ultimately better patient outcomes. Hospital leaders plan to reach Stage 7 over the next few years by incorporating the remaining requirements into ongoing organizational IT priorities. This will include establishing capabilities for Data Warehousing to standardize and store data from many sources, Breast Milk Scanning for tracking purposes and data continuity between the EvergreenHealth hospital campus in Kirkland and its network of a second full-service hospital in Monroe, two urgent care clinics, three emergency rooms, 10 primary care locations, 25 specialty care

Council loosens parking permit requirements for local employees BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
The Kirkland City Council approved a resolution at their July 7 meeting opening up Lake Avenue West, one of a handful of streets that has permit-only parking, to downtown employees in an effort to improve parking availability. The council’s vote, which will allow employees to permit park 24 hours a day, is part of an overall strategy the city is implementing that involves both long-term and short-term
solutions for downtown parking after a study found nearly all the stalls are filled for most of the day and recommended adding over 100 new stalls. The idea was first recommended in May by the Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee. Two councilmembers, Tony Nixon and Dave Asher, voted against allowing downtown employees to park on Lake Avenue West, with Nixon saying the city needs a consistent policy to apply to other neighborhoods that might also be af-
fected by spillover parking before moving forward. “I really don’t like the council placing ourselves in situations where we’re having to decide these on a case by case basis and getting accused of giving special consideration,” he said. “I’d rather have it be objective.” The Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN) has established a task force to examine the issue of parking that spills over into residential neighborhoods. Right now, the city is carrying out short-term
solutions approved by the council including improvements to the library garage on Kirkland Avenue and increased signage at locations such as City Hall, where people can park for free in the evenings and on weekends. The city is also looking into converting its property south of City Hall into a parking lot and possibly developing the Lake and Central parking lot into a multilevel cityowned parking structure with retail on the first floor and a restaurant rooftop plaza. For the short-term,
Kirkland man sentenced in Bellevue hash oil explosion case A Kirkland man and a Redmond man were sentenced to prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle on July 20 in connection to a hash oil explosion at a Bellevue apartment in 2013. Daniel James Strycharske, 29, of Kirkland and Jesse D. Kaplan, 32, of Redmond were each sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release. Last month the lead defendant in the case, David Richard Schultz, II, 33, was sentenced to nine years in prison. Schultz was using highly explosive butane gas to make hash oil in the Hampton Greens Apartment complex on Nov. 5 while the other two apartment residents were sleeping. The gas exploded and numerous people in the apartment complex were injured fleeing the fire. “As I emphasized when the lead defendant was sentenced, this case tragically demonstrates why BHO extraction operations are so dangerous,” said U.S. Attorney Annette L. Hayes. “Just like the meth labs we have worked so hard to eradicate, hash oil labs involve dangerous solvents and pose a serious risk of death and property damage.” One of them, a former mayor of Bellevue, died following treatment for injuries sustained while trying to escape the building. “What moves the court is the loss of life, the permanently disabling and significant injuries the people received all because they lived in an apartment building with these defendants…. who undertook this incredibly reckless and dangerous activity,” said U.S. District Judge James L. Robart during the sentencing hearings.
upper level apartments. In all, the fire caused more than $2 million in property damage. The total amount of restitution owed by these defendants will be finalized by a hearing scheduled for Sept. 21. The judge determined an upward departure from the sentencing guidelines was warranted for the defendants in the case because of the severe damage to the community. “I am troubled that the conduct was motivated by greed – the money that could be made by manufacturing

Kaplan and Strycharske rented the apartment and allowed Schultz to set up the BHO manufacturing equipment in their space, according to court documents. The men planned to sell the BHO for profit. All three men suffered injuries in the explosion. Former Bellevue Mayor Nan Campbell was hospitalized for a broken pelvis she suffered trying to escape the flames. She later died following complications from her hospitalization. Two other apartment residents suffered shattered bones as they had to jump from their

the city extended the paid parking times at the lot to between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. Previously, the paid parking time started at 5 p.m. They are also looking into a validation program of some type. At recent council meetings Lake Avenue West residents voiced their opposition to the proposal, including at the June 16 meeting, saying that the street, which has no sidewalks, is not capable of handling additional ve-
hicles and would create unnecessary safety issues for pedestrians who walk on it. One resident also asked the council limit downtown employee parking on the street to working hours. According to city documents, residents also feared that downtown employees will use private driveways as turn-arounds when there is no room to maneuver. Other streets in Kirkland near Juanita High School also require permits during the day.
