The most dangerous intersection in LFP is a little safer now

No left turn onto Bothell Way from Brookside.
Photo courtesy LFP Police
In an effort to reduce injuries and collisions in Lake Forest Park, a new left turn restriction has been established at Brookside Boulevard NE when entering Bothell Way NE.

As you will see from the photo, making a left turn from Brookside onto Bothell Way is now prohibited.

Right turns only.

We want to thank all of our citizens who responded to our request for comment earlier this year regarding this change.

LFP Police had identified this intersection as one of their top crash locations.



Here are just a few photos from a crash at the Brookside and Bothell Way location which happened in February of this year. No one was seriously injured in this one but traffic on Bothell Way was snarled for hours.

The turn restriction is expected to reduce the number of crashes at that site.

Pre game crowd at Safeco Field for Mariners game and Griffey plaque

Saturday, August 6, 2016

Outside Safeco Field Saturday
Photo by Lili Teh Hosn

This was the scene Saturday, three and a half hours before game time - possibly because the first 20,000 fans got a Griffey plaque.

If you'd like to avoid driving to get to Sunday's game, Seattle Mariners fans can skip Seafair traffic by riding Sound Transit's special Sounder service to the Mariners 1:10pm game against the Los Angeles Angels.

In celebration of Seafair Fleet Week, active duty military personnel can ride all Sound Transit and King County Metro transit services for free Aug. 3-7.

The stadium-bound train from the north will depart Everett at 11:15am and reach Edmonds 15-20 minutes later. Return trains depart King Street Station 35 minutes after the game.

A complete schedule of Sounder service to select Mariners games this season is available here.

Special Sounder service is in addition to regular Link light rail service to and from Safeco Field. Link runs every 10 minutes on weekends and serves 15 stations including the University of Washington and Capitol Hill. Link's Stadium and International District stations are a short walk from the stadium.

Many ST Express and King County Metro buses also drop off passengers near the stadium. Link and ST Express bus schedules are available at soundtransit.org/schedule. King County Metro bus schedules can be found here.

Regular fares apply for all Sound Transit services. Getting an ORCA card is a great way to skip lines at ticket vending machines. Cards only cost $5 for adults, plus whatever amount a rider chooses to load in the card's E-purse or the cost of a pass that is good for unlimited transit trips. ORCA works on trains, buses and ferries throughout the region. More information is available here.

Dept of Ecology fines Volkswagen for violation of state's air quality laws

The Washington Department of Ecology has fined automaker Volkswagen $176 million for installing illegal software on many of its diesel vehicles to cheat and falsify emissions tests. These diesel vehicles emitted up to 40 times the permitted levels of nitrogen oxides – a harmful air pollutant.

“Volkswagen’s actions violated our state’s air quality laws and put people’s health at risk,” said Ecology Director Maia Bellon. “This has caused irreparable damage to the publics’ trust.”

Volkswagen installed sophisticated software designed to turn on a vehicle’s full suite of emissions controls only when it detected that the car’s emissions were being tested, and turn them off during normal driving. This deceitful action released harmful amounts of nitrogen oxides into the air.

Exposure to these pollutants is linked with a range of serious health effects, including increased asthma attacks, and contributes to premature death from respiratory-related or cardiovascular disease. Children, the elderly, and people with pre-existing respiratory diseases are particularly vulnerable to these pollutants.

The $176 million penalty holds the automaker accountable for the environmental damage caused by the more than 21,000 vehicles registered in Washington with the fraudulent software.

The penalty is based on per-vehicle violations, and once collected will be held in an air pollution control account that is used to reduce air pollution in Washington.

Volkswagen now has 30 days to appeal the penalty to the Washington Pollution Control Hearings Board.

In a separate consumer settlement, Washington and 42 other states, plus the District of Columbia, are part of a multistate investigation into Volkswagen’s actions. (See previous story).


To find out which vehicles are affected and learn more about this issue, visit EPA’s website for consumer information or Ecology’s website to learn about Washington’s actions.

Kiddie pools – not just for kids

Kiddie pools used to protect the river from
accidental fuel leaks from generators and pumps
Photo courtesy WSDOT

From WSDOT

Every summer, the kiddie pools come out.

But here at WSDOT - they don't have a season!

We use them year-round on WSDOT projects because we don’t want to risk fuel spilling from a generator or pump into the ground or water.

At some point, someone came up with great idea of placing generators and pumps in kiddie pools. They’re just the right size and they’ll contain leaks.

It’s an inexpensive way to prevent a bigger problem.

In the photo, the kiddie pools are being used to protect the Pilchuck River west of Granite Falls while water is pumped from the right side of the rubber dam to the other. The water is being drained so crews can stabilize the eroding riverbank before it undermines SR 92.

You can see more pictures of the riverbank stabilization project on our Flickr page.

This past winter, citizen-volunteers planted 44 trees along the Burke Gilman Trail across the street from Lake Forest Park City Hall. Now that the summer is heating up, tree watering bags, weeding, and mulching are needed to ensure that the plantings succeed.
Come join City Arborist Mike Woodbury at an all-volunteer planting event on August 13th. Learn about tree maintenance and care while doing your part to enhance our urban forest. These volunteer hours can count toward Shoreline School District volunteer requirements.

All necessary tools will be provided by the City of Lake Forest Park, but bring gardening gloves if you have them. The event is rain-or-shine, so dress appropriately. Meet on the Burke Gilman Trail, roughly across from Starbucks, at 9:45am.

What does the VFW do with their Poppy money?

VFW Poppy sales fund veterans' programs locally
By Carl Christophersen, Commander, Blackburn-Aurora VFW Post 3348

I wanted to let the Shoreline Area News readers know what our VFW Post did with proceeds from our Memorial Day Buddy Poppy event that we held at four stores - Central Market, and Fred Meyer stores in Shoreline, Lake City and Thrasher’s Corner - in May 2016.

It took two monthly meetings to arrive at agreement amongst the members.

We can only afford to donate thousands of dollars after each event, and since most of the larger organizations servicing veterans get grants in the millions of dollars, we look for value in the organization itself and otherwise how a small contribution from our VFW Post can more directly benefit veterans in need.

The list that we agreed upon of organizations which would this time be the recipients of our donations, follows:
  • WA Soldiers Home (Orting) -- 181 acres in Orting, WA -- serving 192 residents, all of whom are veterans.
  • Fisher House at the VA Hospital in Seattle --- they house relatives of veterans who are in the VA hospital.
  • Boy Scouts of America (VFW supports Boy Scouts).
  • USO Northwest at SeaTac
  • USO in Turkey
  • National Home for Children --- 42 houses on 600 acres in Eaton Rapids, Michigan. One of the houses is sponsored by VFW of Washington State. There is one house per veteran-related family -- including five common buildings, three maintenance buildings and one Guest house.
  • Operation Uplink --- pays for phone cards for active duty veterans overseas.
  • King County Medic One --- a public service organization, a critical link in our regional Emergency Medical Service system, providing high quality, advanced patient care. Several of our members are big fans of Medic One.
  • The Zakayla Productions Foundation -- they hire veterans to do repairs / renovations on homes of disabled veterans.
  • Compass Housing Alliance --- Shoreline Veterans Center.

This last one we treated differently. Last year, several of us visited the Compass Housing Alliance’s Shoreline Veterans Center on N 200th. We discovered that even though over the years, our VFW Post had donated thousands to them, the 25 veterans who lived there, knew not of us.

So starting last Veteran’s Day, we heard from some veterans who live there that what they could most use were gift cards to either Walmart or Fred Meyer. They said that at Walmart and/or Fred Meyer, they could buy anything they needed there e.g. socks, underwear, special sandwiches, special cheeses, bedspreads, sheets, etc. The center provides transportation for their veterans, since they mostly do not have, or could not afford, a car.

So wanting to affect veterans in need more directly, our Post, on Thursday, Aug 4th, bought and hand-delivered 25 gift cards of $60 each from Walmart -- to the Shoreline Veterans Center --- one for each veteran living there.

We thank Shoreline Area News readers for their kind generosity and thought they might like to know how we made use of our Poppy funds.

Ivar’s Restaurants and Cedar Grove® team up to give diners a free bag of compost

Free bag of compost to Ivar's customers
on Tuesday August 16

Ivar’s Restaurants and Cedar Grove are teaming up to provide free bags of compost to all lunchtime customers at Ivar’s Seafood Bar on Aurora Avenue (13448 Aurora Ave N, Seattle, WA 98133) on August 16 from 11am – 2pm.

Seattle Tilth educator and garden hotline program manager Laura Matter will also be on site to provide free gardening advice, including tips on how to use compost.

The restaurants’ robust food scrap recycling program is part of its overall sustainability program, wherein valuable food scraps are diverted away from the landfill to be transformed into nutrient-rich compost at Cedar Grove facilities.

“As one of the first restaurants in Seattle to compost food waste more than a decade ago, Ivar's has been a leader in reusable packaging, working with the city and county on solutions to compost all packaging and working with suppliers and industry leaders like Cedar Grove to institute best practices,” said Bob Donegan, president of Ivar’s. 

Since 2008, Ivar’s commitment to providing its customers with compostable food service ware and supporting a robust composting program in its restaurants resulted in a diversion of nearly 5,000 tons of food scraps and food packaging materials from the landfill.

In addition, Ivar’s has diverted tons of compostable food waste and materials from landfills through its operations in regional stadium concessions and the Boeing Classic.

Because food scraps in a landfill create methane, one of the most harmful, ozone-layer depleting gases, recycling food scraps is an important first step for restaurants and households to take to positively impact the environment.

In turn, Ivar’s purchases bulk compost for landscaping of its 23 quick-serve Seafood Bars and three full-service restaurants. In essence, re-using much of what they put in.

“Ivar’s commitment to the environment and the Seattle community is real and, through its composting program, it chose to lead the pack as an early adopter of best environmental practices in the restaurant industry,” said Karen Dawson, director of marketing and community relations, Cedar Grove.

Shoreline Dusk to Dawn: Central Market

Shoreline's Central Market gleams against a darkening sky. The parking lot is empty but the interior of the store glows with light. The neon sign comes into its own in the dark with its letters marching sturdily across the front of the store.

The coffee silo is dark inside. The steel exterior reflects parking lot lights. Hanging baskets of flowers march into the darkness.

City Council adopts resolution placing levy lid lift on November ballot

On July 25, the Shoreline City Council adopted Resolution No. 389, which places a levy lid lift on the November 8 ballot.


If approved by Shoreline voters, Shoreline Proposition 1 would help fund and maintain current levels of police and emergency service, including neighborhood safety and traffic patrols; school safety programs; and community crime prevention programs.

It would also help fund park and trail maintenance; playgrounds and play equipment; ball fields, restrooms and the Shoreline pool; and preserve recreation programs for youth, families, and seniors. 

Proposition 1 would also continue funding for community services for seniors, youth, and individuals and families in need.

In 2010, Shoreline voters approved a six-year maintenance and operations levy to help fund basic public safety, parks and recreation, and community services.

That levy will expire on December 31 of this year.

The City’s 10-Year Forecast projects that without restoring these funds, revenues will not be adequate to support the costs of current service levels. If Proposition 1 is approved, a homeowner with a median home value ($353,000) would pay an additional average of $7 per month to maintain the above services.

More information on Shoreline Proposition 1 here or contact Administrative Services Director Sara Lane at 206-801-2301.

300 subjects identified through Lake Forest Park Police's Can You ID me

CanYouID.me
Inspired by a police site in Oregon, Det. Tony Matthews of the Lake Forest Park Police set up the website CanYouID.me on August 1, 2010 with investigators from five participating police departments.

The site is an electronic billboard of surveillance photos and mug shots of people the police would like to contact, either as persons of interest or as witnesses.

On August 1, 2016, CanYouID.me reached 300 identified subjects. 

CanYouID.me now has 266 Washington State investigators signed up on the website from 83 police departments.

The intent of this program is to provide one location where Washington State detectives and investigators can post photographs of unknown subjects that could be seen by the public.

The public can submit names of those persons in photographs directly to the investigating detective.

CanYouID.me would like to thank the public for taking the time to view our website and submit names to our investigators. Your information has helped solve numerous crimes that might have not been solved without your assistance. 
Please continue to view the website and make it even more successful.

RADAR: Community meeting about mental illness, behavioral health, and policing

The Shoreline Police Department, the Shoreline Fire Department, and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) Eastside invite you to a community meeting about mental illness, behavioral health, and policing.
First responders want to hear from you about your experiences with police and what kind of policies and/or training you think would improve police response to individuals in a mental health crisis.

Shoreline is currently developing a program called RADAR (Response Awareness, De-escalation and Referral) that will begin in 2017. 


Through RADAR, officers will work with individuals and their circles of support (parents, caregivers) to develop strategies that will help should police contact occur.

These strategies, or response plans, will reflect the specific needs of at-risk individuals. This information will help officers respond more effectively, and humanely, to challenging situations.
It will also give them the tools and contacts--when appropriate--to connect people with support and services. This is a new program with the potential to help both community members and Shoreline deputies.

The meeting is open to everyone, but they are especially interested in hearing from parents and caregivers of people who have mental and behavioral health issues.

Tuesday, August 23, 2016, 6:00 to 7:00pm (doors open at 5:30pm), Shoreline City Hall, Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N, Shoreline 98133

More information here and a video with Capt. Scott Strathy explaining the concept of the RADAR program.

HistoryLink: Helene Madison won three gold medals in the 1932 Olympic Games

Helene Madison Pool
13401 Meridian Ave N, Seattle

Text from HistoryLink.org - the free online encyclopedia of Washington state history

Eighty-four years ago this week, swimmer Helene Madison won three gold medals in the 1932 Olympic Games. Her first came on August 8 for the 100-meter freestyle, followed by one on August 12 for the 400-meter relay. On August 13 she won the 400-meter freestyle, beating the world record by 2.5 seconds.

Sports trading card featuring Helene Madison
Upon returning to Seattle, Madison was honored with a giant tickertape parade. Two weeks later she gave a paid performance at Playland amusement park at Bitter Lake, and she later tried to break into show business. Unfortunately, her minor gigs as a paid swimmer led to the loss of her amateur status, and she wasn't allowed to compete in the 1936 Olympics.

In the 1936 games, held in Nazi Germany, Washington had other competitors who achieved fame. The University of Washington rowing crew -- propelling a George Pocock shell -- won a gold medal on August 14, 1936, and Lee Orr of Monroe placed fifth in the 200-meter dash, which was won by Jesse Owens. In 2013, the rowing crew was immortalized in Daniel James Brown's award-winning book, The Boys in the Boat.

Helene Madison postage stamp issued 1990
While others were competing in the 1936 Olympics, Helene Madison worked at a Green Lake hot-dog stand. Her later years were filled with tragedy, including two failed marriages, indebtedness, and battles against diabetes and cancer. She died penniless in 1970. In 1990 she was featured on a United States postage stamp, and today two Seattle swimming pools memorialize her name.
