Power restored after windstorm

Wind, Falling Trees Disrupted Service for Thousands

Seattle City Light crews worked through the night to complete the restoration of service for every customer affected by a windstorm that started pounding the Puget Sound region early Saturday morning.

At the height of the outages, about 28,000 homes and businesses were without power. Falling trees and branches were the primary cause of the outages, which often involved downed power lines.

Crews restored power to about 20,000 customers by 7am Saturday. Then they battled through gusty winds throughout the day to restore others, along with new outages that took place, including one that affected about 5,400 homes and businesses in the Ravenna and Bryant neighborhoods.

Crews restored service for the final two homes on NE 85th Street in Seattle about 10:30am Sunday. Restoration for those houses was complicated by extensive overgrowth along the 150 foot lines that deliver electricity directly to the houses. Vegetation management crews were brought in to trim the tree branches to provide clearance and allow lineworkers to hang new wires to replace the damaged ones.

Cases like this demonstrate the importance of planting the right tree to avoid conflicts with power lines. If you have questions about pruning the trees near the power lines for your home, contact a Seattle City Light arborist at 206-386-1902.

Seattle City Light is the 10th largest public electric utility in the United States. It has some of the lowest cost customer rates of any urban utility, providing reliable, renewable and environmentally responsible power to nearly 1 million Seattle area residents. City Light has been greenhouse gas neutral since 2005, the first electric utility in the nation to achieve that distinction.

Monday deadline to register to vote in February school election


Monday, Jan. 13, is the last day for voters to register by mail or online for the Feb. 11 school election, or for previously registered Washington voters to change their voting addresses.

Voters who want to register by mail can get material at many libraries and at most post offices, or they can download forms from the King County elections website or the secretary of state's website.

Voters can register online by following links from either website. The secretary of state's registration website is here.

New Washington voters can register through Feb. 3, but they must register at the county elections office in Renton or at the county administration building in downtown Seattle.

Voters in the Shoreline School District face two propositions, one a renewal of the maintenance-and-operations levy, the other a renewal of the capital levy for technology improvement and support. Either can pass with a simple majority.

Rat City Rollergirls Season 10 opener Jan 18 at Key Arena

Luna

Saturday January 18, 2014, Doors open at 4:30, First whistle at 6pm, KeyArena, Seattle Center.

The Rat City Roller Girls Season 10 Opener is coming up fast on January 18th at KeyArena.

"We’re lacing up our skates for a season of fast paced roller derby action and the season opener levels the playing field for each of the four home teams."

They have drafted many talented skaters onto the league since last May, including new recruits from local youth leagues. They have all been training hard for months at our new practice facility in Shoreline for this moment to compete with the some of the best skaters in the nation.

"First bout of the night will be hard hit and fast paced, as the blue bruisers of the Sockit Wenches are taking on the jet fueled speed of the Throttle Rockets. The second bout of the night will leave you on the edge of your seat as the devastating explosiveness of the Derby Liberation Front battles their worst nightmare; the 3 year undefeated League Champions, Grave Danger. Bring your posters and scream your head off for your favorite skaters and teams, as each team is known to visit their own fan sections in the corners of the arena."

Miss Washington 2013, Allyson Rowe, will stop by to sing the National Anthem after the opening ceremonies at 5:30pm. The fan favorite halftime show will feature Waxie Moon and Dance Belt USA. Featured charity, YMCA, will get your blood pumping during intermission with the YMCA Fitness Challenge.

Bring non-perishable food items for Ballard Food Bank for limited edition Rat City Swag. Donation bins will be placed at each entrance at KeyArena.

10 YEARS STRONG
After 10 years, Seattle has proven they are fans of roller derby. Seattle fans have helped break the National Attendance Record for modern day roller derby three times over, at KeyArena, and eventually sold out the lower bowl of the arena. 

Rat City puts the same amount of dedication into furthering its local derby community to grow the sport: hosting training camps, coaching junior derby, informally scrimmaging with teams from nearby leagues, or hosting tournaments at our Rat's Nest in Shoreline. In order to gain acceptance as a mainstream sport, the skater athletes of Rat City believe that when one person skates better, we all skate better. In recent years, skater athletes have been drafted from youth leagues who have advanced to the level where they are rostered with our All-Star Teams.

Aside from furthering the skating community, the athletes of RCRG are dedicated to providing community outreach through events, activities, and charity partnerships with Ballard Food Bank, Seattle Goodwill, Girl Scouts of Western Washington, and Special Olympics of Washington.

The Rat City Rollergirls (RCRG) is Seattle’s first all-female, flat-track roller derby league. RCRG is composed of about 80 active skaters and many more retired skaters who are actively involved in the organization.

Record low temperatures and heavy snow plague Washington state for three weeks beginning on January 12, 1950

Saturday, January 11, 2014


HistoryLink File #8079

For three weeks beginning on January 12, 1950, extreme cold and heavy snow grip Washington state. It is one of the state's worst winter outbreaks of the twentieth century.

One Bad Blizzard

Although later many would recall that the 1950 cold wave started on Friday, January 13, the cold actually moved into the state from British Columbia during the morning hours of Thursday, January 12, 1950. It passed both Seattle and Spokane about the same time -- noon -- and temperatures in both cities fell steadily during the afternoon and night from a high of 32 degrees in Seattle and 24 degrees in Spokane. Bellingham picked up a quick seven inches of snow that day, but only light snow was reported in a few other places outside of northwestern Washington.

That all changed on the morning of Friday the 13th. Beginning about dawn in Seattle and a little later in Spokane, a blizzard set in that affected much of the state. The storm's timing turned out to be critical: The snow started early enough in Seattle that schools were closed, but in Spokane it struck after classes had already started.

In Seattle winds gusted to 40 m.p.h. with temperatures in the low teens. One man was killed in a bizarre accident when a truck skidded on a snowy road into a car. A man riding in the car was thrown into Lake Washington and drowned.

Downtown Seattle picked up an average of 10 inches of snow, but farther south Sea-Tac Airport recorded 21.4 inches, the second-greatest 24-hour snowfall ever officially recorded in the city (it was one-tenth of an inch shy of tying the record). Snow reached clear to Washington's southwest coast with heavy snow reported in Longview.

On Vashon Island, pounding waves from Puget Sound that residents said were "high as houses" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer, January 14, 1950) collapsed bulkheads under a store and meat market that sat near the water and swept the entire structure into Puget Sound. 

Farther north, winds in Bellingham exceeded 60 m.p.h. and unofficially gusted to 78 m.p.h. On the coast, the fishing fleet in Gray's Harbor took a big hit. Many small boats sank at their moorings. Men trying to save the boats were sprayed with wind-driven ocean water, which froze and coated them in ice.

Shorewood split its two matches in a double dual at Shorecrest Tuesday before losing at Glacier Peak Thursday.

The victory and two defeats gave Shorewood a 1-4 league record (3-6 Overall)

Thunderbird captain Matthew Floresca pulled his team to within three points 24-21 by defeating Grizzly captain John Kim 7-0.  It was all Glacier Peak from there as the Grizzlies won five of the last six weight classes to close on a 29-6 run. 

In a double dual at Shorecrest Thursday, Shorewood came away with a win and a loss. Shorecrest also split two matches.

In their first match the Thunderbirds wrestled a tough Oak Harbor squad. Shorewood’s Matthew Floresca, ranked No. 1 at 126 pounds, bumped up to challenge Jahleel Vester, ranked No. 3 at 138 pounds and pulled out a 3-2 victory. Oak Harbor responded to an early deficit by scoring 33 straight team points over 7 matches on the way to a 43-18 victory.

Shorewood bounced back in the second match of the night against Marysville-Getchell. The Thunderbirds jumped out to a 30-0 lead over the first five matches. The teams traded victories the rest of the way as Shorewood held on for a 50-30 victory.

Shorecrest lost to Oak Harbor, 47-28, and defeated Marysville Getchell, 49-30.

Point Wells Community Workshop Series

Point Wells Community Workshop Series
Workshop #1: Preparing for Snohomish County’s Environmental Review Process

Wednesday, Jan. 15 - 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
Shoreline City Hall Council Chambers - 17500 Midvale Avenue N

Snohomish County will soon start the environmental review for the proposed development at Point Wells. The review will look at the development’s impacts and determine how to address them.

The proposed development at Point Wells will take up to 25 years to fully complete. However, the project’s impacts and mitigations must be identified at this stage of the process. As the Point Wells development project moves forward, the City will host a series of workshops to ensure that the community has an opportunity to provide input on Snohomish County’s environmental review process and identify capital investments that will make for a safer transportation corridor.

Soon, Snohomish County will begin the scoping process for its environmental review. The review will look at the development’s impacts and determine how to address them. The first step in the process is to conduct “scoping.” Scoping is required to identify the elements and to guide the scope of the environmental factors to be evaluated in an environmental review. It is the community’s opportunity to comment on the impacts of the proposed development, identify alternatives to the development, and make suggestions on how to address the impacts.

Snohomish County and BSRE have agreed to a 30 day scoping comment period, which is longer than the minimum 21 day requirement. Snohomish County will hold two public meetings during the scoping period, including one in Shoreline.

Workshop #1: Preparing for Snohomish County’s Environmental Review Process
The City will submit official scoping comments on the Point Wells project’s impacts to our community. Join us for an overview of the Snohomish County environmental review process and to review and comment on the impacts we have identified.

OPEN HOUSE : 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.
  • Review project background and environmental process
WORKSHOP : 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.
  • Overview of Snohomish County’s environmental review process
  • Review and comment on the project impacts identified by the City
  • Next steps:
    • Snohomish County’s Environmental Scoping Meeting
    • Shoreline’s Transportation Corridor Study workshops
      • (Six meetings between February 12 and April 16)
To provide your input, plan to participate in the workshop series. Contact Planning Director Rachael Markle, 206-801-2531 with questions.

Shoreline Schools hosts community meetings on replacement levies and search for superintendent


Community meetings will be held next week about the two Shoreline School District replacement levies for voter approval on the Feb. 11, 2014 special election ballot. The levy information will be followed by a session to receive input on the District’s search for a new superintendent.

Tuesday, Jan. 14
7:30 p.m.
Shorecrest High School theater
15343 25th Ave. N.E.
Shoreline 98155

Wednesday, Jan. 15
7:30 p.m.
Shorewood High School theater
17300 Fremont Ave. N.
Shoreline 98133

The measures ask voters to renew the levies for an additional four years beginning in 2015. The levies combined represent more than 28 percent of the District’s total revenues. These are not additional or new tax levies. The District projects that if both measures are approved; tax bills will remain stable at current levels.

PROPOSITION 1:

Replacement of an Expiring Levy for Educational Programs, Maintenance and Operations

Replaces the current four-year levy that will expire in 2014. The levy funds basic education programs not fully supported by state and federal funding, including:

• Special education programs, highly capable programs, remedial programs and vocational education programs

• Nurses, family advocates, librarians and instructional materials

• Maintenance of current class sizes

The levy also supports extra-curricular student activities, including music, drama and athletics. 

PROPOSITION 2:

Replacement of an Expiring Capital Levy for Technology Improvements and Support

Replaces the current four-year levy that expires in 2014. These funds would be used to meet the District’s ongoing technology needs, including:

• Student Computers and Technology Access: Upgrade equipment used for online learning in K-8 and expand use of digital curriculum and online assessments K-12

• Software/Online Resources:  Online curriculum products (all subjects), streaming video, research databases, teacher website platform, help desk service

• Staffing and Training:  Instructional technology specialists to support effective classroom integration, classes and training sessions for all staff, online support resources.

Ballots will be mailed to registered voters Jan. 22 and please remember to vote by Feb. 11. To register to vote, visit kingcounty.gov/elections. The levies require a simple majority approval to pass.

Superintendent search process
During the second part of the meeting, consultants Janet Barry and Brian Benzel will describe the superintendent search process and timeline and ask for input from community members on three key questions:

1.  What do you value and appreciate most about the Shoreline School District?  (What will you definitely want to protect and keep as the District makes a leadership change?)

2.  What should be improved?

3.  In light of these strengths and needs, what are the characteristics you most want to see in your next superintendent?

Kruckeberg annual meeting to host talk on Elwha Dam restoration


Joshua Chenoweth, head botanist for the Elwha River Dam Ecosystem Restoration Project, will address the annual meeting of the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation at Shoreline City Hall January21. He will focus on the natural and managed revegetation that is part of the largest dam removal project in the US. This event is open to all.

Revegetation of the former Elwha River reservoirs, Lake Mills and Lake Aldwell, began in 2011. It is an unprecedented effort to reverse the impacts of dams on a major river. Once completed, it will be the second largest restoration project ever undertaken by the National Park Service.

Removal of the Elwha Dam exposed nearly 800 acres of valley slopes, terraces, and floodplain that had been underwater for nearly 100 years, and left behind 30 million cubic yards of inorganic sediments. The buried, former forest floor presents a challenging substrate for plant colonization.

Chenoweth has led the Elwha revegetation project since 2007 when he was hired by the Olympic National Park to write the Revegetation and Restoration Plan for the reservoirs and the dam removal on the Elwha River. He has an MS from the University of Washington in Restoration Ecology and has worked in the Olympic National Park as a volunteer and biologist since 2001. He currently serves on the Society for Ecological Restoration Northwest Chapter's board of directors.

Chenoweth’s talk, “Revegetation of the Former Reservoirs on the Elwha River, 2011-2013,” will follow a short meeting of the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation, January 21, 2014, 7 p.m. at Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave. N, Shoreline, WA 98133

The talk is free to KBGF members with a $5 suggested donation for others.

The Gallery at Town Center presents: The Push Pin Show

Wednesday, January 8, 2014

Show Card: Artwork by Trish Murphy "Apple Choice"
The Gallery at Town Center presents: The Push Pin Show
January 7 – February 22, 2014

The Gallery at Town Center presents a fun new show featuring the sketches of seven local artists: Charles Capp, Diana Chen, LA Hoffman, Lynne McFarland, Trish Murphy, Blanche Niznik and Emma Pirie.

In October 2013, the Arts Council produced Sketchcrawl where local artists could come to the Town Center in Lake Forest Park and sketch the Farmers Market, people shopping, eating or making art at the Experimentation Stations. Those artists were invited to share the work they made at Sketchcrawl and/or other work unframed at The Gallery. The walls have been lined in cork and the results “pinned” to the walls.

Installation Image: Various Artists
This unique grouping allows us to let our hair down and present a loose, rough and tumble peek into the artists’ work-in-progress, sketches, and first drafts. Showing urban sketching at its finest, this show promises to be equal parts fun, folly and inspiration. Featuring the work of Charles Capp, Diana Chen, LA Hoffman, Lynne McFarland, Trish Murphy, Blanche Niznik and Emma Pirie this is a great way to start the New Year!

The Gallery is located on the inside lower level of the Lake Forest Park Town Center, 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park 98155. Hours are 12-5 pm Tuesday - Saturday. The Push Pin Show runs from January 7 – February 22, 2014.

The Gallery also features an array of handmade work by over 90 local artists. For information on the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council visit the webpage. The Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to nurture all of the arts in the community through programs and events, arts education, advocacy, and support for artists and arts organizations. Proceeds from The Gallery at Town Center help fund these programs and events.

Tribute! Experience the Joy of Opera while helping those living with Alzheimer’s



Music saved Scott Hancock at a time when a deepening depression could have easily taken over. As the primary caregiver for his mom, who was living with Alzheimer’s disease, Scott found himself challenged with a myriad of decisions and situations. Caregiving, especially for a loved one with Alzheimer’s, a degenerative and fatal dementia, can become increasingly difficult as the disease progresses, demanding more and more of caregivers. It takes a toll emotionally, physically and financially.

“I faced fear and indecision around every corner,” Hancock shares, reflecting on the early years of caring for his mother. “I was overwhelmed by balancing Mom’s health care, continued safety and my own life!”

Then he found the Alzheimer’s Association, which helped him navigate the journey with programs and services of support, care, education and connection. With this support from the Association, he began to feel more confident and capable. And that’s when the joy returned. And that’s where music became a release and salvation. 

“Music saved me.  Learning how to sing gave me focus, energy. And it let me express my strength, express myself creatively.” Hancock has played the piano for ten years and has been taking classical vocal training for two years. 

On Saturday, January 18th, Scott will share this joy by holding a fundraiser which he’s entitled Tribute! at Shoreline City Hall from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

Scott created Tribute! to be an annual  recital and raffle to celebrate life, honor the memory of his mom, and support individuals and  families affected Alzheimer’s. Aligned with his cousin Ali Boyle and her husband Jarrod, owners of Alexandria Nicole Cellars, the Boyles bottled a special wine for the occasion called Joy. The wine will be raffled during the Tribute! program.

Hancock’s goal is to raise $20,000 for the local Alzheimer’s Association’s Connections program which provides one-on-one care consultation for individuals and families affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias. The funds raised will help the Chapter serve more families in our area. Tribute! is free but donations are greatly appreciated.

He has also created a Tribute! Crowdrise campaign for those who want to support the Association but are unable to attend the recital and raffle.

Currently there are more than 150,000 Washingtonians with Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, and over 350,000 family members and friends that provide 20 hours and more of weekly unpaid care.  These numbers are expected to triple by 2050 if a cure or treatment to stop the progression is not found. The Alzheimer’s Association’s mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. For more information, visit Alzheimer's Association of Washington  or call the Association’s 24/7 Helpline at 800-272-3900.

City Council selects Mayor and Deputy Mayor at its first meeting of 2014

Mayor Shari Winstead
Photo by Devon Rickabaugh
With King County Superior Court Judge Richard Eadie presiding, returning Councilmembers Will Hall, Shari Winstead, Keith McGlashan, and Chris Roberts took the oath of office on January 6, 2014. Following the swearing in ceremony, Council selected Shari Winstead as Mayor and Chris Eggen as Deputy Mayor, both of whom will serve for two years.

Elected to the City Council in 2009 and re-elected in 2013, this will be Mayor Winstead’s first term as Mayor. Mayor Winstead has been an active member of the Shoreline community for the past 22 years. In 2006, Mayor Winstead served as co-chair of the City’s Park and Open Space Bond Committee and in 2008 and 2009 she served on the City’s Long-Range Financial Planning Citizen Committee. She has been instrumental in the development of the City’s Healthy City Strategy. Her City Council external committee assignments include the National League of Cities (NLC) Human Development Policy Committee and the King County Board of Health.

“I’m honored to be Shoreline’s mayor and represent the Council and the community,” stated Mayor Winstead. “I appreciate the support I received from the entire council and look forward to working together to continue moving the City in a positive direction.”

Deputy Mayor Eggen was first elected to the City Council in 2007 and was re-elected in 2011. He retired in 2008 as a project manager from the UW Applied Physics Laboratory. Deputy Mayor Eggen has a long record of community involvement and is a strong environmental advocate. Some of his City Council external committee assignments include SeaShore Transportation Forum, Evergreen Communities Partnership Task Force, Puget Sound Regional Council Growing Transit Communities Oversight Committee, NLC First Tier Suburbs Council, King County Regional Transit Committee, Sound Transit North Corridor Leadership Group, Sound Cities Association Board of Directors, King County Metropolitan Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, and King County Growth Management Planning Council.

“I want to thank the council for their support in my re-election as Shoreline’s Deputy Mayor,” stated Deputy Mayor Eggen. “I look forward to working with Mayor Winstead, my fellow councilmembers, city staff, and the community on our city’s goals.”

Shoreline operates as a code city under the laws of the State of Washington with a council-manager form of government. As the governing body, the seven elected part-time city councilmembers set policy and appoint a city manager to implement policy.

The City Council chooses a Mayor and Deputy Mayor from among its members at the first meeting of a new year following an election. The Mayor presides at Council meetings and represents the City at ceremonial functions and inter-governmental meetings. The Deputy Mayor presides in the Mayor‘s absence.

The Shoreline City Council meets every Monday at City Hall. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. Council meetings are streamed live from the City’s website. Video of the meetings are available online or on Shoreline’s government access channels (Comcast Channel 21 and Verizon Channel 37) the day following the Council meeting.

Visit the city website for more information or call the Agenda Hotline at 206-801-2230 for the latest meeting information.

A tip of the hat to the Cedar Valley Grange

The Cedar Valley Grange boasts wooden floors
20526 52nd Ave W, Lynnwood, WA 98036

Dancers appreciate wooden floors
By Judy Patterson, Skandia Folkdance Society

Planning ahead - dance your shoes off at Vinterdansen Feb 21 reminded me that a huge thanks to the Cedar Valley Grange is in order. For more than a decade, its Board has allowed Skandia Folkdance Society and other dance groups to rent the cozy hall for classes and special events, helping to ensure that folk traditions thrive and are shared.

While Skandia has taught hundreds of people to dance on the fine sprung floor, a multitude of talented local musicians (and tradition bearers from all over Scandinavia) have made the hall ring with lively dance tunes — music for “newer” dances like the schottische, waltz, and hambo, as well as older dances, called “bygdedanser.” The history of these two types of dances is an interesting read, but I’ll save it for another article.

Now, about Vinterdansen … it is festive, friendly, and foodies, you’ll be happy! Dancers of all levels mingle and encourage newcomers to join in. People flock to the dance floor to learn easy mixers on the spot, and invariably exit the floor beaming. The one treat your feet will thank you for is low-heeled shoes that turn easily. For Scandinavian turning dances, high heels can be dangerous and uncomfortable.

Don’t care to dance? That’s fine, too. Chairs surround the periphery of the Grange hall, and you may simply enjoy the gaily decorated hall, listen to great music, and marvel at the whirling dancers. Or, head downstairs to dine on array of savory and sweet treats.

Vinterdansen admission is $15.

If you have questions about Scandinavian music and dancing, just drop me a note.  I hope to see you at Vinterdansen!

Shoreline City Manager's Report 1-6-2014

January 6, 2014 Council Meeting

From Debbie Tarry, Shoreline City Manager

Swearing in of Councilmembers: Re-elected Councilmembers Will Hall, Shari Winstead, Keith McGlashan, and Chris Roberts were sworn in for new four-year terms.

Election of Mayor and Deputy Mayor: Councilmember Winstead was elected Mayor by the other Councilmembers and Councilmember Eggen was re-elected Deputy Mayor. In Shoreline’s Council/City Manager form of government it is the City Council that elects the Mayor and Deputy Mayor from amongst themselves. Mayor Winstead and Deputy Mayor Eggen will serve in this capacity through December 2015.

Consent Calendar:

Resolution No. 354: Council adopted Resolution No. 354 supporting Shoreline School District’s Proposition No. 1 and No. 2 that will appear on February ballot.

Approval of the Contract for City Manager: Council appointed Debbie Tarry as the new City Manager on December 8, 2013. Her contract was approved at Monday’s meeting.

Adoption of Ordinance No. 682 – Transition Area Setback for Commercial Zone Development Across from Single Family Zones: Council adopted a 15-foot set-back for these transition zones, except for those located on a principal arterial or across from public open space. For those located on a principal arterial or across from comprehensive plan public open space there will be a zero-foot setback. The transition area setback in the Town Center zone is set at 15-feet.

Discussion and Update of 185th Light Rail Station Design Dialogue: Staff updated Council on the outcomes from the design dialogue workshops held in November. Follow-up from this discussion will include opportunities for Council to meet with staff in January and then further review at the February 8, Council workshop.

Upcoming Council Meetings: January 13, 2014

10-Year Financial Sustainability Sub-Committee will meet at 5:30 p.m. (Mayor Winstead, Deputy Mayor Eggen, and Councilmember Salomon)
  • Proclamation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Representatives of the Ballinger Teens, with City staff support from Christy Vien, Teen Programs Assistant in the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, will receive the proclamation.
  • Metro Service Reductions: On November 7, 2013, King County Metro Transit released their proposal for system wide service reductions in response to a significant funding shortfall. Because funding for service operation is heavily reliant on sales tax revenues, the recent economic downturn has greatly impacted Metro’s budget. Metro will need to make significant service reductions beginning in June 2014. The purpose of this agenda item is to provide Council with an update on the proposed bus service cuts currently under consideration by King County Metro Transit. Metro staff will present the details associated with the proposal to Council at this meeting.
  • 145th Street Discussion: The purpose of this agenda item is to provide Council with an update on the activities surrounding 145th Street. After the last discussion in October 2012, Council instructed staff to continue conversations with the City of Seattle regarding issues associated with annexation. Additionally, Council allocated $250,000 in the City’s 2014-2019 Capital Improvement Plan for creation of a Route Development Plan (RDP) for the corridor. However, Council directed staff to not actively pursue the annexation or begin the RDP until such time as Sound Transit identified the preferred alternative for Lynnwood Link light rail. On November 21, 2013, the Sound Transit Board identified the preferred alternative for Lynnwood Link and it includes a light rail station at Interstate 5 and NE 145th Street.
Pt. Wells

Later this week, Snohomish County will most likely begin the scoping process for its environmental review of the proposed development at Point Wells. The review will look at the development’s impacts and determine how to address them. The first step in the process is to conduct “scoping”. Scoping is the process of identifying the elements of the environment to be evaluated in an environmental review. It is the community’s opportunity to comment on the impacts of the proposed development, identify alternatives to the development, and make suggestions on how to address the impacts.

Snohomish County and BSRE have agreed to a 30 day scoping comment period, which is longer than the minimum 21 day requirement. Snohomish County will hold two public meetings during the scoping period, including one in Shoreline.

The City will submit official scoping comments on the Point Wells project’s impacts to our community. Join us for an overview of the Snohomish County environmental review process and to review and comment on the impacts we have identified.

Workshop: Preparing for Snohomish County’s Environmental Review Process
Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014, 6:30 to 8:30pm

New Business Licenses – The City issued a total of 157 new business licenses for businesses operating in Shoreline in the 4th quarter of 2013. By far the majority are home businesses.

This and That

Congratulations to Councilmember McConnell – Councilmember McConnell has been appointed to the National League of Cities (NLC) Human Development Steering Committee. The committee has the lead responsibility for developing NLC federal policy positions on issues involving social services, children and learning, poverty and income support, employment and workforce development, equal opportunity, Social Security and seniors, individuals with disabilities, public health care, mental health parity and immigration reform.

We are excited to report that in 2013 staff and Spartan Recreation Center users donated 1,066 lbs. of food to the Hopelink Food Bank. Shana Swift and Melissa Welch were faithful to deliver the donations at least once per month to very grateful recipients. As Mary Anne Kelly put it, “This is one of those “feel good” yet simple services we provide here, and it makes us all feel proud by association.”

PAWS saves puppies targeted for research in Iran

Two puppies have made it out of Iran, one of them out of the hands of medical researchers, thanks to an Iranian animal rescue group, and PAWS Animal Shelter in Lynnwood. This international rescue effort has saved the lives of three-month-old Shabnam, and six-month-old Apoo, who will soon have new homes.

Apoo's fur was shaved to prepare her
to be used for research
According to sources overseas, the Iranian government is considering outlawing all dogs and cats within the Tehran city limits. An article in the NY Daily News describes the situation.

Apoo arrived at PAWS with her entire right side shaved by medical researchers, who were preparing to use her for experimentation. According to the Iranian rescue team, they purchased her from the researchers before she met a horrific end.

Both puppies are now in the care of a PAWS foster family, and are doing well.

Shabnam is a sweet girl who loves to play
“They’re healthy and happy,” says PAWS Foster Care Coordinator Rebecca Oertel. “They’re had their spay surgeries, and both girls have been given a clean bill of health.”

This is the second time PAWS has helped rescued dogs from Iran.

“It’s tragic,” says Kay Joubert, Director of Companion Animal Services at PAWS. “This situation is reprehensible and we will do anything we can to help these poor dogs. While we remain committed to our mission locally, our doors are always open to help an animal in need.”

The two Iranian puppies will be available for adoption from PAWS in the next few weeks. Interested adopters can find out more, and fill out an application, at PAWS online.

Two area music educators honored

Two music educators from our area have been selected for honors by the Sno-King Music Educators Association, to be presented at their state conference in Yakima February 14, 2014.

Mark Adamo

Mark Adamo has been selected as the Outstanding Music Educator for the Sno-King region.

Mark has been teaching for 27 years. He began his career in Port Townsend, teaching band and orchestra for 12 years. After a short time at Woodinville High School teaching instrumental music, he moved to Shorecrest High School and Kellogg Middle School, where he has the served as orchestra director since 2001. Mark has served as a staff conductor for both the Seattle Youth Symphony and the Everett Youth Symphony. He has also served as both Orchestra Curriculum Officer and Band Curriculum Officer on the WMEA Board of Directors.

Colleagues say that Mark never simply trains kids, rather his students learn to listen, read and make music independently at the highest level. He teaches with a skillful combination of firmness and fun and creates a climate where all students feel encouraged and capable of achieving the highest standards. His students proclaim “Mr. Adamo is amazing.” His contributions enlighten and inspire both students and colleagues alike. 

The SKMEA Friend of Music Award will be presented to the family of the late Aviva Leonard. who passed away last year.

Aviva Leonard, of Lake Forest Park, was a viola and violin instructor and coach in the Sno-King area for decades. She coached and taught Shoreline students, youth symphony sections, and string students from many other districts. She found ways to enable even the most disadvantaged students to take lessons with her, whether that meant doing a few chores around the house or helping to sort music. 
"She truly had a huge heart for kids and a passion for music. Aviva was as caring, patient and thoughtful a human being as one could ever imagine. She was not only a consummate professional musician, but she also used her talent and passion for sharing to significantly impact music education. 
"When anyone needed assistance, advice or feedback regarding musical decisions and curricular needs, Aviva was always ready to help. She was affectionately known as the "viola mother" in our area, but her influence was felt by many students, regardless of their instrument. Our colleagues are fortunate to have known and worked with Aviva, and we are thrilled to see her honored as the Sno-King region's Friend of Music."
