Shoreline firefighters and paramedics responded to a multiple victim, car-into-building incident today at the Jo-Ann Fabric parking lot, 155th and Aurora Avenue North.

Three elderly females were in a four-door compact vehicle when the driver apparently lost control and hit the front of the building at about 1:45 p.m.

There was no major structural damage to the building and the windows were not broken.

The front seat passenger suffered fatal injuries. The driver and a backseat passenger were transported to Harborview Trauma Center with life threatening injuries.

King County Sheriff Office traffic investigators are looking into exactly what happened. They told fire officials it appears to be a case of the driver mistaking the gas pedal for the brake.

Home Girls: Real Estate Brokers

Welcome to the Home Girls team - a trio of real estate brokers who will be posting columns on the real estate business and market in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.  First up is Nan Skinner, an active community member in North City and a long-time Shoreline resident.


Real Estate Brokers
By Nan Skinner

As real estate brokers our job and duty is to represent our clients in their best interests as defined in the Washington Law of Real Estate Agency pamphlet. For example, if we have a listing agreement with a seller, we represent that seller. If we are showing homes to a buyer, we represent that buyer. The pamphlet is 7 pages in length and describes in detail our duties and other laws pertaining to real estate.

When you see a sign go up in your neighbor’s yard that means that neighbor has signed a listing agreement authorizing the brokerage firm and listing broker to represent that seller by marketing their property, negotiating offers, and making sure all paperwork and tasks are done within the time recorded (time is of the essence). 

When you see a broker showing your neighbor’s house to a buyer, that broker represents that buyer. During the process of working for buyers or sellers, we assume many roles: Educator, negotiator, counselor, administrator, coordinator, consultant, and whatever else we need to do to help our clients. 

One of the most important aspects of our job is customer service. We strive to keep in contact with customers and clients and answer calls and e-mails promptly.

As with any profession, we are held to high performance standards, especially in the areas of honesty and ethics.

Every two years on our birthdays, we renew our broker licenses by taking 30 hours (during that 2-year period) of training. 

Since most classes are worth 3 hours, we take a lot of training; mostly in a classroom and a few online. There are usually a few classes that offer up to 15 hours which helps reduce the number of classes we need to take. 

Then there is the training we have to take to stay up-to-date on new forms, changes to current forms, changes to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, and more. These changes are usually the result of laws passed by the Washington State Legislature and most of the training does not give us hours. We are constantly learning and growing.

As a member of the real estate industry, we have the opportunity and need to become members of professional organizations. To call themselves a REALTOR®, brokers must join the National Association of REALTORs®, their state association and their local association of REALTORs®. They must abide by The REALTOR® Code of Ethics

To announce and advertise our listings to other brokers, we must belong to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service and know and abide by their rules and regulations. Other professional organizations we can belong to include Women’s Council of REALTORs®, buyers agency, and others that align with a broker’s expertise and training.

Free parenting workshops September 28 and October 5

Free parenting workshops aimed at parents, teachers and guardians of 4th – 9th graders will be held on Wednesday, September 28 and Wednesday, October 5, 2011 at the Trinity Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 1315 N 160th St, Shoreline, WA 98133.

Julie Metzger, RN, MN will speak about important issues in relationships with and among pre-teens and teens. Come to prepare or to enhance your skills for parenting adolescents.

Julie is a pediatric nurse, writer and educator. She is a well-respected and popular speaker at schools and community groups, and co-founder of Great Conversations, an organization focused on health education for families.

Staying Close While Standing Back—
The Art and Science of Parenting Adolescents
Wednesday, September 28 at 7:00-8:30 pm
One of the biggest balancing acts parents face today is knowing when to step forward to help and guide their children’s lives and when to let their child make independent decisions and choices. How do families work together in a partnership of trust and respect as children and parents encounter new experiences? What are specific ways we can encourage our children to be resilient, accountable, and inter-dependent people in a fast changing world?

The Young and the Restless--The Social Lives of our Children
Wednesday, October 5 at 7:00-8:30 pm
It can be challenging in the moment to know how to help our children communicate effectively and build healthy relationships. These moments can be as simple as not getting invited to a birthday party or being teased at school. This workshop will cover a review of latest research on social dynamics of children and strategies for kids and parents.

Workshops are open to anyone (not faith-based curriculum) and free due to grant funding. For more information email or phone Kay Broweleit at 206-363-3500.

Seattle City Light installing LEDs in Shoreline streetlamps

From the Office of the City Manager

Beginning September 20, Seattle City Light’s (SCL) contractor, Potelco, will begin installing LED lamps in all of Shoreline’s streetlights, except those on arterial streets. Installation will continue through mid to late October.

LED streetlights use significantly less energy than the high-pressure sodium lamps in use today. LEDs also last longer. Once all 40,000 streetlights are installed across SCL’s service area, the combined energy and maintenance savings will be approximately $2.4 million per year.

Residents will notice a definite difference in lighting between the currently used lights and LEDs. LEDs produce a white light that is comparable to moonlight making it easier to identify colors and smaller objects than the amber glow produced by the high-pressure sodium lamps. LED lights are also Dark Sky friendly, reducing the amount of light pollution in the night sky.

SCL began testing the LEDs in several residential neighborhoods in Seattle in 2010 to determine the best fixtures to use. So far SCL has received very favorable results from follow-up surveys. In fact, 85% of respondents approved of the new lights in their neighborhoods.

Potelco will move west to east in 10-block sections starting at N 145th Street.

To learn more about the program visit the City Light webpage  If you have questions or concerns, contact SCL’s customer service line at 206-684-7056.

WeatherWatcher: Puget Sound and Lake Washington are a natural air conditioner for us


Week of weather September 10 - 16, 2011

Highlights:
We still have not broken the 85ºF mark here in the Shoreline/Lake Forest park area this entire summer, even though the Sea-Tac station which is the Seattle area official record keeper for weather statistics has broken the 85ºF mark several days now. I think the only difference is we are less than 5 miles from the Puget Sound, and we are less than 5 miles from Lake Washington, moderating our temperature locally. Both bodies of water are around 55ºF during the summer months. These large bodies of water act as a natural air conditioner.

For the week ahead:
This week is going to be summer's last gasp before we head into the real fall weather. This past weekend (17th - 18th) was just a taste of what the end of September will bring.

We will have moderate high pressure in the area however there are several very strong storm systems lined up in the Pacific that may work to break it down. We might see one of the storms move through as some high clouds and a couple showers later in the week.

The extremes:
High temperature: 84.6ºF (Sunday)
Low temperature: 47.9ºF (Friday)
High humidity: 100%
Low humidity: 27% (Sunday)
Barometer high: 29.707 inHg
Barometer low: 29.382 inHg
Barometer shift: 0.325 inHg

Averages:
Warmest day: 68.2ºF (Sunday)
Coldest day: 55.5ºF (Thursday)
Average temperature: 61.8ºF
Average humidity: 75%

Warmest and coldest days are based on average temperature of the entire day, starting at midnight. All other averages are based on the whole week. All weather data unless otherwise noted is sourced from Carl's Shoreline Weather Station.

Tree limb cuts power to eleven Echo Lake homes

A ShorelineAreaNews reader reported seeing a flash and hearing a bang from the vicinity of an electrical transformer on 192nd just east of Aurora and then saw City crews there the next day.

According to our sources, a tree limb fell on a power line around Stone Ave N and N 190th in Shoreline around 9:30 pm Saturday night, September 17, 2011. 

As a result, the insulator on the overhead line failed, blowing the fuse which was the sound our reader and others heard. The fuse is designed to blow to protect the transformer when there is a short.

Sunday morning, Seattle City Light crews were out to repair the line. The Shoreline Customer Response Team (CRT) shut down Stone Ave N for a couple of hours until repairs were completed.

11 customers were affected and were without power from 9:30 pm for about seven and a half hours.

Deputy Mayor Hall present for ceremony marking the removal of the Elwha Dam

The beginning of the demolition of the Elwha Dam.  A tribal elder watches.

The removal of the Elwha Dam has made national news recently, and The Seattle Times did a special report which includes photos and video.

But Shoreline had a piece of the action, as Deputy Mayor Will Hall was one of 400 invited guests at the ceremonies marking the start of demolition of the dam and restoration of the salmon runs.

In fact, Hall got the final word in an article in the LA Times.

Congressman Dicks addressing the group of people who have worked on this project for two decades

The largest dam removal project in the United States got underway last weekend on the Olympic peninsula. The two dams on the Elwha River, which have blocked salmon from returning to their historical spawning grounds for a century, are being taken down.

Shoreline Deputy Mayor Will Hall was one of 400 people invited to watch the event live at the dam.

"This is the most significant habitat restoration project ever undertaken," said Hall. "It was truly an honor to be there in person. I appreciate everything Congressman Norm Dicks and his staff did to make it possible for me to attend."
Deputy Mayor Will Hall and his wife Laurie Lindblad with Tom Skerritt on the Elwha Dam

Actor Tom Skerritt, a Board Member of American Rivers, was the Master of Ceremonies for the event. Deputy Mayor Hall and his wife Laurie Lindblad chatted with Skerritt while standing on the dam itself. Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell spoke at the event, along with Congressman Dicks, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, and local tribal leaders.

Deputy Mayor Hall has been working on salmon habitat and Puget Sound restoration issues for over 15 years. He drafted the legislation to create the Snohomish County Marine Resources Committee, a citizens advisory group, in 1999. He currently represents cities on a committee tasked with cleaning up Puget Sound as part of the Puget Sound Partnership.

Chinook salmon at the base of the Elwha Dam
"I've camped and hiked near the Elwha River several times since I was a teenager. Every year, a small number of salmon still return and spawn in the lower few miles of the river, but they can't get past the dams to the hundreds of miles of rivers and streams above them."

Deputy Mayor Hall said he saw dozens of large Chinook salmon at the base of the dam, and several more spawning downstream. Scientists and tribal leaders estimate that several hundred thousand salmon used to return to the Elwha River every year.

Identified: the Shorecrest Big Rock is a metamorphic Greenstone

Emma Agosta has taught geology at Shoreline Community College for the past ten years. She was able to get close enough to the Big Rock recently uncovered at Shorecrest High School during site preparation for the new high school, to provide us with this information. (see previous article) 

By Emanuela "Emma" Agosta
Professor of Geology
Shoreline Community College

The rock recently recovered during construction at Shorecrest High School in Shoreline, is a “glacial erratic.” These are very common occurrences in the Puget Sound region, which was covered by continental ice-sheets during the last age up to about 12,000 years ago. 

Massive ice-sheets moving down from what is now British Columbia ripped off rocks of various origin and composition along their path and embedded them in the ice. When the ice-sheets melted these erratic were strewn across the landscape on top of local sediments and rocks and often embedded into them.

They are called “erratic” because their composition is foreign compared to the local rocks. They come in many different sizes and compositions. Some are huge, like the recently discovered Lake Stevens erratic (very likely the largest known erratic by dimensions in the state of Washington), some are just very large boulders. Many if not most of these erratics are made of granite or “granitoid rock compositions” as this is a very common rock in the North Cascades and in British Columbia.

For more information about local glacial erratics, go to NorthWest Geology Field Trips, a website maintained by Dave Tucker, professor of Geology at Western Washington University and local expert on Western Washington erratics.

Glacial erratic excavated from Shorecrest site by construction crew.  Photo by Emma Acosta.

This particular erratic is roughly 7 ft. long, 4 ft wide and 4.5 feet tall. Looking at it from a distance, it appears gray and striped (see large-scale picture) but actually the gray color is mostly from dirt and sediments it was embedded in and the stripes are actually excavation marks from the machinery that took it out of the ground during construction. 

Upon closer examination (I was able to see it closely only from one side as the area is fenced off), it is a dark green, hard and smooth rock (see close-up picture). 

Close up of greenstone.  Photo by Emma Acosta.

While I cannot provide a conclusive identification, given the minimal contact I was able to have with the rock, I would say that it is most likely a greenstone, a metamorphic rock that forms when basaltic lava is subjected to low-grade metamorphism. 

The basalt was originally erupted on the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, then subducted beneath the North American plate. Heat and pressure associated with the process of subduction chemically altered the original minerals in basalt and transformed them into new minerals such as chlorite that confer the rock its characteristic green color. Greenstones are exposed in various coastal areas north of Seattle, such as Whidbey Island, Fidalgo Island and Deception Pass. It is possible that this boulder may indeed come from this region where more conspicuous outcrops of greenstones are exposed.

The rock is actually quite beautiful and if properly cleaned could be used as a landscaping rock in the newly renovated school grounds.

The Shoreline Community College’s Men’s Soccer Team broke through their scoreless streak, as Jeremy Wentzel tied the game in the 62 minute, but the Dolphins fell to the Tacoma CC Titans on Saturday 3-1. SCC had not scored since the first half of the second game of the season against Chemeketa CC at the NWAACC Friendlies Tournament until the second half of yesterday’s game. A time span of 10 halves over 6 games. SCC has been outscored 23-3 so far this season.

But in 2010, the SCC men’s soccer team started out 0-7-2 and rebounded to win 8 straight games and go the NWAACC Final Four at the Starfire Complex in Tukwila.

The Dolphins face the Community College of Spokane on Monday in Spokane at Noon and hope to break through as the Bigfoot are struggling themselves, with a 1-3-1 record. But after that, SCC faces Peninsula College, the defending NWAACC Champions and Highline CC, who knocked SCC out of the playoffs in 2011, with a 3-1 victory at the NWAACC Soccer Final Four

PAWSwalk Raises $170,000

Sunday, September 18, 2011

By Mark Coleman

More than 800 dogs and 1,200 walkers turned out on Saturday, September 10 to raise money for the animals at PAWS.

From Great Danes to Chihuahuas, dogs and humans alike converged upon Seattle’s Magnuson Park to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of PAWSwalk.

Participants enjoyed a beautiful walk, before spending the afternoon visiting the more than 40 exhibition booths featuring everything from doggie massages to pet hotels. The day also included dog contests and demonstrations, and games with dogs available for adoption at PAWS.

Radio personality Lee Callahan, emceeing the canine fest for the second year in a row, couldn’t believe the turnout.
“It was amazing,” says Callahan. “They were dressed up in everything from tutus to jogging gear…and that was just the volunteer staff!”

For everyone involved in this year’s PAWSwalk, PAWS would like to offer a huge THANK-YOU!!!!  Your time, efforts, and dollars will help take care of thousands of dogs and cats this year.

PAWS is a champion for animals – rehabilitating injured and orphaned wildlife, sheltering and adopting cats and dogs, and educating people to make a better world for animals and people.

Each year PAWS cares for more than 5,000 animals from 154 different species. From kittens to cougars, from canines to black bears, PAWS has done this remarkable work for 44 years.

(If you and your pup walked in the event - send us a photo.)
