Evan Smith: Top-two primary worked well


By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics writer

The top-two primary gave us a November ballot full of contests that match the strongest Republican candidates against the strongest Democratic candidates, and, where it didn’t, it may have given us even better choices.

Shoreline and Lake Forest Park ballots will have Republicans against Democrats for all three positions in the 32nd Legislative District, plus the U.S. Senate and the 1st Congressional District. The 7th Congressional District, where no Republican ran, is the only exception, with the general election matching Democrat Jim McDermott against an independent.

While eight of the State’s nine Congressional races and the vast majority of the 123 Legislative races are Democrat vs. Republican, the exceptions are likely to be competitive. All but one of the six R-R races, the five D-D contests and the five matching either a Democrat or a Republican against an independent come where no one from the other party ran.

One of the most interesting races matches Pierce County Republican Rep. Tom Campbell, who caucuses with Democrats, against a more conventional Republican.

In Snohomish County, two Democrats meet in a contest for prosecuting attorney, where no Republican ran. Under other systems, the primary would have decided the election, with the general election having an unopposed Democrat. Now, the large November electorate will make the decision instead of the smaller number of people who vote in the primary.

General election voters will have a clear choice between incumbent Mark Roe, a longtime veteran of the county prosecutor’s office with little political connection, against Jim Kenny, the choice of the Party organization.

N 198th Street Trail receives “Adopt-A-Trail” Sign

Hillwood Community Network is excited to have received one of the first of the City of Shoreline’s new Adopt-A-Trail signs for the N 198th Street trail they have been working on for several years.

This new program encourages groups and individuals to adopt lengths of trails and do maintenance to keep them in safe and attractive condition. The N 198th Street Trail is a street end that was heavily overgrown with brambles and the trail was rough.

After several work parties, the blackberries are greatly reduced and other invasive plants are gone. New native plants have been added and last spring 15 yards of wood chips were spread on the trail itself. Now it is a pleasant, wooded area to walk through and a fine example of what neighbors can do when they work together.

Hillwood Community Network is bounded on the east by Aurora Ave N, on the north by N 205th Street, on the west by 8th Avenue NW and on the south by N 185th Street. They meet the second Tuesday of the month alternating general Meet-ups and board meetings. All neighbors are welcome to attend. For further info: 206-510-2220 or Hillwood website.

Homeless campsite dismantled at SCC

An unauthorized campsite discovered in a heavily wooded area on the Shoreline Community College campus and used by a homeless person has been dismantled.

The camp was the site where the body of a 42-year-old woman was found Friday, Sept. 3, 2010.  (see story)  The incident was investigated by King County Sheriff’s Office detectives. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office is waiting for toxicology tests to be returned before determining the cause of death. No arrests were made.

The camp was also used by a man who has been ordered by Shoreline Police and college officials to not return to the campus.

College officials and Shoreline Police are working together to survey all the undeveloped areas of 83-acre campus that abuts the city of Shoreline’s wooded Boeing Creek Park. If anyone is found camped on college property, they will be given a list of social-services resources and advised to leave, college officials said. A subsequent sweep will be made to remove any camp material, they said.

Evan Smith: This should be primary-election week


By Evan Smith
ShorelineAreaNews Politics Writer

Tuesday was primary-election day in seven states -- Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Hawaii’s primary is Saturday.

This was primary week in Washington until four years ago. It gave us a short elections season – seven weeks from candidate filing until the primary, seven weeks from the primary to the general election.

We moved the primary to August to have time to get results before preparation of November ballots for mailing to military and other overseas voters.

How do those other states get primary votes counted in time to prepare general-election ballots?

Assistant State Elections Director Katie Blinn says that the relevant date is the date that we certify elections — two weeks after the primary.

She told me Monday that the late certification is because Washington has decided to allow voters, including military and overseas voters, to vote on Election Day.

“Most other states require absentee ballots to be RECEIVED by the close of polls,” she said. “For many military and overseas voters, this means that they must vote weeks before Election Day in order to get the ballot returned before the close of polls.”

A spokesman for the secretary of state noted that counties get two weeks to count and certify the ballots and that the secretary of state gets another week to approve results before November ballots need to be ready for mailing in late September.

Maybe, now that we allow people to send absentee ballots by fax or by e-mail attachment, we could shorten the time it takes to certify primary results.

If we required local voters to have their ballots turned in by election day, we'd need a lot more drop-off sites.

Book Review by Aarene Storms: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

Young adult fiction

Pretty, popular high school senior Samantha Kingston loves Cupid Day--the day when she will get tons of roses from her friends and admirers, party with her friends, and finally (maybe) have sex with her boyfriend. Instead, she dies in a car wreck after the party.

She is (justifiably) surprised to wake up the next morning...only to discover that she has awakened on the morning of the previous day, before the roses, before the party and before the accident. In seven "Groundhog Day do-overs" of her last day, Sam learns more about her friends, her boyfriend, her teachers, her family and herself. What will happen when she learns everything she needs to know?

Sam's gradual transformation from a shallow "popular girl" to a real person worth caring about is gracefully executed and results in a couldn't-put-it-down book. The story references sexual situations, drug use and teen drinking.

Highly recommended for ages 14 and older.

Shoreline and LFP Residents: License your pets now or face fines

Amnesty period expires soon for residents to license their pets.
No-tolerance policy for unlicensed pets goes into effect October 1; fines will follow

Residents in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park have just 14 days left to take advantage of an amnesty period for unlicensed pets before they face a no-tolerance fine. As part of the new Regional Animal Services model for animal control in King County, residents were given a 90 day amnesty period to license their pets without facing a fine.  

The amnesty period expires at the end of the day on September 30, and starting Friday, October 1, residents who have unlicensed cats or dogs face a fine of $125.00 for spayed or neutered pets, and up to $250.00 for an unaltered pet.

Under the new model that took effect July 1, the cost for pet licenses for spayed or neutered animals remained unchanged at $30.00, and the price for unaltered pets was reduced to $60.00 (previously $90.00).
“The amnesty period is a great opportunity for residents to comply with the law, protect their pets with a license, and avoid a potential fine,” said Regional Animal Services Manager Ken Nakatsu. “After October 1, we have to comply with the code adopted by King County and 27 contracting cities and issue a fine if you are caught without a pet license. Now is the time to prevent that risk and gain the benefits of a pet license.”
Residents can purchase pet licenses in person at over 100 locations in King County, including many QFC grocery stores, and online. Visit the King County website for a list of sales locations or to purchase or renew a license online. Pet licenses are renewed annually and are good for one year from the date of purchase.

Under the new Regional Animal Services model, discounts are available for disabled and senior residents, as well as for those with juvenile pets up to 6 months old. All dogs and cats over 8 weeks of age in unincorporated King County and contracting cities must be licensed.

King County Pet licenses come with many benefits including:
  • The first time your pet is found, King County will attempt to skip the shelter and deliver the pet to your home.
  • Licensed pets have a longer stray hold at the shelter to give residents a chance to locate a lost pet before it is made available for adoption.
  • The Vacation Pet Alert Program allows residents to provide contact information for a pet’s caretaker while they are away so that King County will have the correct contact information if something happens while the owner cannot be reached.
  • Pet license fees fund programs that help thousands of homeless animals in King County find new homes each year, and pay for services such as spay/neuter programs.
  • Licensed missing pets are found faster by reporting them to Regional Animal Services. If a resident finds a stray pet wearing a pet license, they simply need to call the phone number on the license to get contact information for the owner, even after business hours.

Back to School Consortium thanks the community


A Big THANK YOU to the many residents, businesses and groups throughout Lake Forest Park and Shoreline who supported the Back to School Event, August 28 at North City Elementary. 
The Consortium handed out 1027 backpacks filled with supplies. 

Shoreline PTA Council distributed new socks, underwear and family hygiene packs.

James Alan Salon provided haircuts to the lucky drawing winners.

Lake Forest Park Rotary grilled hot dogs for the families.

The Shoreline PTA Council’s clothing room The WORKS moved outside to the covered playground so families could “shop” for gently used children’s and teen clothing.

The Shoreline Parks Department kept the children busy with blow ups out on the playing field while parents strolled through community resource tables. Children were able to choose at least one book to take home with them.

None of this would have been possible without the many school supply donation drives done by churches, businesses and neighborhoods throughout the Shoreline School District. This was truly a community coming together to make sure every child within our community was ready for school.

There are a limited number of backpacks available for those families needing backpacks. They are being distributed by Shoreline PTA Council through The WORKS clothing room, 6:30 pm Wednesdays at North City Elementary portables.

Thank you!
