I-5: Mountlake Terrace Freeway Station #7649

Monday, April 19, 2010

If you have travelled north on I-5, just over the county line into Snohomish county, you have seen a construction project in the center median of I-5. (Mileposts: 177.67 to 179.31).

The Washington State Department of Transportation and Sound Transit are building a bus station in the median of I-5 at 236th Street SW in Mountlake Terrace. The station will have bus-only ramp connections to the I-5 HOV lanes. An overpass will allow riders to park in the multi-story park n ride structure and walk to the bus station. This will enable Sound Transit busses to serve Snohomish county riders.
Community Transit opened the Mountlake Terrace Transit Center on February 23, 2009 at the site of the old Mountlake Terrace Park & Ride. The transit center project is separate from Sound Transit and WSDOT's freeway station project.

Current planning for Sound Transit in Shoreline calls for the lines to come up the east side of I-5, with stops at 145th and 185th. Final planning has not started, so it is uncertain if the 145th stop would actually be in Shoreline or in Seattle, on the south side of 145th. A stop at 185th was chosen because there is already a freeway overpass on 185th.
The median of I-5 in King county was narrowed some years ago to add additional lanes in either direction.

It has not yet been suggested as to how and where the line would be placed from King county to Snohomish county. how it would navigate freeway cloverleafs and whether there would be an impact on the bus station under construction in Mountlake Terrace.

Sea, Shore & Sky at the Shoreline City Hall Gallery

The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council and the City of Shoreline are proud to present Shore, Sea and Sky, a new show focusing on the natural landscape. 

Artists Malcolm Edwards (photography), Betty Hageman (painting), Lisa Snow Lady (mixed media) and Sue Robertson (acrylic painting) each use their individual art forms to capture the world around us. 

This exhibit runs from May 5 – July 30, 2010 at the Shoreline City Hall Gallery. 

The public is invited: Thursday, May 27 from 5:30-7 for a special open house on the 2nd and 3rd floor of Shoreline City Hall - 185th and Midvale Ave N. Meet the artists, ask questions about their art and enjoy some refreshments and live music by the Caprice String Quartet.

More about the Artists:

Malcolm Edwards – Photography
Malcome strives to achieve a peaceful intimacy with the subject matter and the viewer.  He photographs people, the land and landscape in color and in black and white.  The photographs, while differing in subject and technique, reflect his need for close contact with beauty.

Betty’s recent work looks closely at microenvironments, the background surfaces brought forward as subject; archetypal habitats such as earth/dirt, water/ice, fire/plasma, air/gas/sky. The paintings are created by applying many thick, transparent color layers that wrap around the canvas and exhibit a depth and translucency similar to encaustic or polymer resin. 

Lisa Snow Lady – Mixed Media
Lisa’s love of botanical form and recent studies in horticulture have inspired her new work. She enjoys layering texture and color into her mixed media prints.

Sue Robertson – Acrylic Painting 
Sue Robertson works primarily with acrylic on canvas, board or watercolor paper. Her style is loose and very colorful. She considers herself an experimental painter and often incorporates elements such as ink, graphite, paper, clay and whatever other things she happens across. Whether she is painting figures, still life or abstracts, the subject is simply a vehicle for the color and stroke. 

Also on exhibit will be two large carved wooden heads by Vashon sculptor Shawn Nordfors. Nordfors has exhibited his work throughout the Northwest and has several pieces in public collections in the area. The sculptures will be on exhibit at City Hall through August.

Blood drive at WSDOT Wednesday

 By Jamie Holter, WSDOT

A blood drive reminds us that giving blood is a way to celebrate life. Every blood donor is a potential lifesaver. Every unit of “whole” blood collected is typically separated into blood’s components--platelets, plasma, cryoprecipitate and red cells-- and can benefit up to three or more patients. By sharing your good health, you not only provide patients and their medical providers a vital tool to assist them with overcoming their medical problem, you also provide some peace of mind to the patients’ friends and families as they support the patient during their time of crisis.

The Puget Sound Blood Center relies solely on volunteer donations to meet the needs of patients in Western Washington. Every day, Puget Sound Blood Center needs to collect blood from 900 donors.

Thank you for taking the time to support our community through this blood drive.

* Wednesday, April 21, 8 am to 2 pm, closed for lunch 10-11 am

* WSDOT - Washington State Department of Transportation south parking lot, 15700 Dayton Ave N, Shoreline 98133 - look for the Puget Sound Blood Center bus.

* Make an appointment online at this website.

Give and/or help get others to do the same. Whether you’re eligible or not, you can help spread the word by copying the link to this message and sharing it, or inviting your co-workers and friends to take part or donate with you.  Blood drives provide blood for all the patients in hospitals in our community and therefore, they are a resource that belongs to everyone and everyone can take a role and pride in their success.

Shorewood beats Kamiak 4-2 for first league soccer win


By Wilson Tsoi

Shorewood earned its first league boys' soccer victory Friday at Shoreline Stadium, thanks to junior midfielder Tanner Jones’ (#10) hat trick, while Kamiak suffered its second consecutive defeat by a 4-2 score.

Photo: lots of action, with Sahil Khan (#11) in the center. Photo by Wilson Tsoi.

Shorewood displayed consistent ball possession early on in the game and had a few shots on goal that barely missed or were saved by the agile Kamiak senior goalkeeper, Caleb Smith. 

The hardworking Thunderbirds were finally rewarded with a 1-0 lead at the 23-minute mark as junior midfielder Sahil Khan (#11) put one in the net. 

As the rain started to pour at the 35-minute mark, the Knights came fighting back and knotted it up at one apiece as Kamiak senior Josh Harris (#14) cleaned up a mess on the left side of Shorewood’s goal following Kamiak senior defender Kyle Watts serving up a corner kick from the right.

Coming off the halftime stalemate, the Thunderbirds quickly started a Tanner Jones show as the junior midfielder (#10) put Shorewood (1-2 league, 5-4-1 overall) up 2-1 just 6 minutes into second half.

Although the resilient Knights very quickly answered with a blast from junior midfielder Zach Faller (#19) a minute later that temporarily tied the game again at 2-2, the night would belong to Jones as he put his second goal of the night ricocheting off right post at the 50-minute mark and a third and final goal off a free kick at the 54th minute after senior forward Essa Jallow (#17) was fouled at the top of the penalty box. Again with many outstanding saves, 

Smith was in goal for Kamiak (1-2, 4-4-2). Junior Simon Aspinall was the Thunderbirds’ goalie for the first half while junior Max Wright took care of the second half.

Shorewood’s next game is Monday at 7:30 pm at Mountlake Terrace High school.

Shoreline is home to NW Region HQ for state department of Transportation

You may not realize it, but Shoreline is home to the Northwest Region Headquarters for the Washington State Department of Transportation. It is that seven-story, gold, 70’s style building behind Sears on N 160th St and Dayton Ave N.

At its peak, 650 people worked in this building. It has shrunk a little since the downturn in the economy. Twenty-nine people who work at this building also live in Shoreline. Ten walk to work, six ride the bus and three carpool.

The State bought the building from Blue Cross of Alaska and Washington in 1990 for $11.7 million and spent two years renovating and called it home in 1992. The building is about 165,000 square feet.

Statewide headquarters for WSDOT is in Olympia, of course, but the Northwest Region Headquarters oversees a huge subarea. 
“We are responsible for the state highways and interstates from North Bend to Puget Sound including Whidbey, Bainbridge, and the San Juan Islands. Our north end is Canada and our south end is the King/Pierce county line,” said Jamie Holter, Communications Manager.
They build bridges and widen highways, stripe roads, hang signs, keep the ramp meters running, signals working, guardrail in place. They put informational messages on the electronic signs and tell us how long it will take to get to south to Seattle or north to Lynnwood. They keep I-5 and Highway 104 clear when it snows.

Jamie says the big wow factor always comes when people visit the Traffic Management Center. It is the nerve center for traffic control. There are dozens of televisions to monitor congestion. They have access to nearly 400 closed circuit cameras on state highways and in all the tunnels. We can only see about 100 of them due to bandwidth issues. “If we put all our cameras online it would take five minutes to load each one and that wouldn’t do drivers any good,” says Holter. Their dispatch center is in direct contact with Washington State Patrol and is open 24/7/365

They try to be good citizens of Shoreline. They coordinated the placement of two bus shelters about four years ago on Dayton Avenue. WSDOT also manages ADOPT-a-STOP near the Dayton building. That means they clean the bus stop and empty the garbage cans. Since WSDOT adopted these stops, there has been an increase in ridership.

The blood mobile comes four times a year. You can give blood there if you want. They have a credit union, Transportation Northwest, on the second floor. The building has parking out front and is easily accessible. They give tours to local school kids. They have fundraising events for the statewide Combined Fund Drive, the statewide charitable fundraiser. State employees have contributed a total of $89 million to local, national and international charities in 14 years. And they have a nice campus with trees and grassy areas.

The people who work in this building area proud of what they do. They invite you to take a look at their website and drop them a note anytime.  Email.

To the Editor: Don't opt out of the Voters' Pamphlet

The Lake Forest Park City Council is "considering" placing a 6-year levy increase on the August ballot. One piece of the proposal they are pursuing is opting out of publishing the issue and arguments for and against in the statewide primary voters' pamphlet.

This is the same problem that arose around the Shoreline schools bond and levy measures - only even less justifiable. This is not a special election - it is part of the statewide primary election. The City has been quite comfortable attempting to make its case through a special multi-page mailing at taxpayers' expense and has been holding "community conversations" utilizing city staff for the past several months, so it is somewhat disingenuous to cite cost as the reason.

Please allow all City residents to have a full and robust presentation of the issues involved - which can best be done, given the lack of local print media coverage, through the Voters' Pamphlet.

Sno County Council hearing on Point Wells April 21

The citizen's organization, Save Richmond Beach, provides updated information on the proposed housing development at Point Wells, formerly an oil storage facility. Point Wells is a large, low-lying waterfront just over the border in Snohomish County. The only road to Point Wells is through Richmond Beach - Richmond Beach Road / 185th.
The Snohomish County Council will have their final zoning regulations public hearing on April 21 at 1:30 pm.

To help them better understand some of the proposed County land use regulations and zoning changes, the County Council contracted with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Seattle Technical Assistance Panel (“TAP”).

The panel members, professionals in disciplines related to the County’s proposed urban centers regulations, reviewed the proposed ordinances and other relevant materials provided by the County and held a one day-long panel meeting to develop recommendations, which they presented to the County Council on Monday, April 5.

Some of the recommendations are in line with the concerns that have been expressed by Save Richmond Beach, Woodway and the City of Shoreline including but not limited to the following:
  • Panelist Vlad Oustimovitch, VOKA Inc, stated "Point Wells is different than the other urban centers and that it would be appropriate to deal with it differently/separately/as part of a later process."
  • Be mindful of regional transit and development patterns, both within and outside of Snohomish County.
  • Getting to the next stage may require identifying different typologies for urban development, in addition to transit-oriented urban centers. These may include urban villages or master planned development.
  • Address each urban center differently; one size does not fit all.
  • Consider enhanced community participation process through formalized design review process.
  • For transit to drive development, the transit needs to be high-quality (fast, reliable, predictable and comfortable). County needs to play a leadership role in establishing coordinated locations for transit routes and station areas.
  • Walking radius for bus transit is 1/4 mile.
  • Urban centers need "more than a regular bus line."

Based on these recommendations a series of amendments were released. They were discussed at a planning meeting on Wednesday, April 13. The council will make their decision at the hearing on April 21.

Serial Graffiti/tagger suspect arrested and charged with 6 counts of Felony vandalism

For the past few years the city of Shoreline has been plagued by a serial tagger. This particular vandal uses the moniker “KIDD” as his signature mark or “tag.” 
This vandal used different mediums to apply the tag to property - most often spray paint in a variety of colors, though incidents have occurred where rollers and house paint were applied. 
There are other forms of the tag used by this vandal, such as “KID,” “KID CRUSH,” “KD,” or sometimes simply just “K”. These are the signature marks of one person, his modus operandi.
This serial vandal has been a plague on the City of Shoreline, the Shoreline School District, and surrounding areas, such as the City of Edmonds, for the past two to three years. He targets businesses and fences around private residences, often targeting the same victims repeatedly. This vandal will also target city property, such as utility boxes, road signs, and guard rails.

The damage incurred by the city and private victims by just this one suspect has been in the thousands of dollars. The Shoreline School District estimates it spent $26,000 on all graffiti removal during 2009, including 536 work hours by district maintenance staff.

Today, the King County Prosecutor's Office filed six counts of Felony Vandalism against the suspect in this case, a thirty-five year old longtime Shoreline resident.

Since December of 2009, the Shoreline Police Department has arrested an additional 18 graffiti vandals. Charges will be filed with the King County Prosecutor's Office within the next few weeks. The majority of suspects are Shoreline residents under the age of 18 and attending high school in Shoreline.

If convicted the suspects in all cases may be facing:
  • criminal conviction
  • community service
  • civil penalties
Last year Master Patrol Officer Kyle McCutchen took on the graffiti/tagging incidents and developed what is called a Problem Solving Project. As part of the project he went through years' worth of graffiti/tagging cases, literally hundreds of cases, and patiently sorted them into categories, such as common tags or repeat victims. The work was painstaking and took months. He coordinated the documentation compiled by the police department, the city, and the school district. When the arrests were made for the taggers, it was the work done by MPO McCutchen that allowed the prosecutor's office to file charges.

Evan Smith: 32nd District Democrats vote to back all three incumbents

By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

The 32nd District Democratic Organization gave approval to all three incumbent District legislators at its nominating convention Wednesday.

District Democratic precinct committee officers voted to nominate Reps. Maralyn Chase and Ruth Kagi and Sen. Darlene Fairley for re-election.

The PCOs voted unanimously to support both Chase and Kagi. A majority voted to designate Fairley as the Party’s nominee despite opposition from PCOs who cited Fairley's support of the top-two primary and noted that she hasn’t participated in Party activities for several years.

Supporters pointed out that Fairley's voting record is identical to Chase's and said that Fairley is a good Democratic voter.

Since the State replaced the partisan primary with the top-two primary, the State hasn't recognized party nominees; State and local party organizations, however, select nominees, who can then promote themselves as recognized party candidates.
