That's because the Notice of Public Hearing postcard the City of Shoreline mailed out (only to residents living within 500 feet of Fircrest, of course) made no mention of the fact that a 48-bed behavioral health facility is being planned for the campus. I wrote to City project manager Steve Szafran about this oversight but got not response. So much for public notice.

Burien is trying to keep tents, propane fires, and open drug abuse from degrading the businesses in the downtown core which support the tax base, but countywide officials oppose requiring even the slightest bit of responsibility from our addict homeless population.<br /><br />Watch carefully, Shoreline. Like Burien, we contract with the KC Sheriff's Office for our police service. If throngs of homeless people clog our public spaces to the point that people can't enjoy them without fear, the county will prevent us too from establishing reasonable standards of conduct.<br /><br />It was an enormous mistake for King County to change from an elected to appointed sheriff.

It's bewildering that the City of Shoreline is completely in the dark about the reasons behind this closure. The lack of communication between two government agencies on a matter that impacts our community is astounding. Such disconnection points to a serious need for better inter-agency collaboration to serve the public's interests effectively.Andrew Sellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741412946805763929.post-28964058628692088102024-03-13T00:22:30.613-07:002024-03-13T00:22:30.613-07:00To Anon #3, Seattle historically had low electrici...To Anon #3, Seattle historically had low electricity prices, but over the past 20 years we have gone from one of the cheapest cities for power to a place just below the middle of the pack, and this is despite City Light having no fuel cost for the dams on the Skagit River. City Light has been raising rates recklessly for years -- at 3x the rate of inflation several months ago. City Light has managed to do a terrible job controlling their costs despite being municipally owned rather than privately owned. You have no elected representatives to hold accountable, you're captive to the monopoly, and you also pay a penalty rate about 2c/kWh higher in Shoreline than you would in Seattle. It's a rotten deal.<br /><br />We have the most expensive municipal water in the nation, one of the most expensive sewer systems, and now our legislators are pushing us to consume ever more of our increasingly expensive electricity by tacking on fees to artificially boost the price of gas. After all, if it becomes just as expensive to run a gas furnace as it is to heat with an electric heat pump, they reason that nobody will choose to install gas. It's not about making electricity affordable, but gas unaffordable.<br /><br />Resilience is not just about generators. Gas ranges and gas water heaters work even when the power is off. I'd suggest going without electricity for several weeks as I've seen happen just up the road in Woodinville, and then maybe you'll see the value of having an alternate energy utility when nights are frigid and the power's out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
