Students rally in political protest

Students from Shorecrest, Ingraham, and Shorewood rallied Friday in Shoreline in a political protest against the policies of the newly elected U.S. president.

Around two hundred students left their classes at lunch time and marched to a gathering place at the Blue Bridge across 155th at Aurora.

Signs expressed their concerns: "Keep money out of politics" "Climate change" "My body My choice", "Keep Fascists out of USA" "Love Trumps Hate" and perhaps what could be called the theme of the rally "We have a voice."

Marchers were orderly, staying on the sidewalk, waiting for crossing lights. The mood was energetic and impassioned but sober and serious as speakers addressed the crowd.

Motorists honked their support.

Shorecrest students start to arrive

Shorecrest student organizer Ray Mitchell said that organizing a political protest like this isn't easy, but it is achievable, even by high school kids.

Ray said, "We have to stand strong in solidarity with each other to make it through the next four years. A lot of people right now feel like politics is 'too depressing' and that none of it matters, and that is the last thing they should be thinking. Now is the time for action to be taken."


The crowd listens attentively to the speakers, who were standing on the bridge above them.

current president of Shorecrest's Latino Club. 

Shoreline Mayor Chris Roberts was one of the speakers.
We are a community that respects the Constitution and the bill of rights. We believe in the freedom of speech, the freedom to assemble, the freedom of conscience, and the freedom of the press. These are the hallmarks of a free and democratic society.  
We will not compromise on these core values that we share. We will not tolerate erosions to our fundamental freedoms. We will not tolerate divisions based on gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, or religion.

We will continue to use our voice and support the voiceless.

as they wait at the light

Roberts was followed by speakers from groups who fear their rights are threatened by the new presidency.



Not all residents thought it was appropriate for students to rally, nor agreed with their viewpoints.

Gary Harris hired as Shorewood T-Bird Boys Soccer Coach

Gary Harris
Shorewood High School and the Shoreline School District are pleased to announce Gary Harris as their new Varsity Boys Soccer coach.

Harris is no stranger to coaching in Shoreline and for the T-Birds. While it has been over a decade since Gary coached high school soccer, he has remained active as a coach at the club level, coaching both boys and girls for multiple premier level soccer teams.

Gary also has remained a staple at Einstein Middle School also in Shoreline, where he has been a physical and health education teacher since 1990.

Gary previously was the head coach for nine years for both the Shorewood and Shorecrest girls, including a state title with the T-birds in 1999. Coach Harris has compiled a 99-45-18 career coaching record between the two girls’ programs.

Don Dalziel, Director of Athletics for Shoreline Schools, says "We are thrilled to have Gary return to coaching high school and feel he is a great fit for the T-Birds at this time. 
"Gary’s experience and commitment for high expectations and accountability were a key reason he was selected to coach at Shorewood. Gary is familiar with Shoreline, our programs and our procedures. His expectations for student success both on and off the field match our school district’s expectations."

Tree House Iyengar Yoga under new ownership


By Angela Dawn, Director, Tree House Iyengar Yoga Studio

The seed was planted 14 years ago when I became a teacher at Tree House Iyengar Yoga in Shoreline. Pat Musburger was owner and encouraged me to teach and become a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher.

Under her mentorship, I began the journey, never imagining I would one day become the owner of Tree House! As I continued teaching, the studio was not just a place I worked or taught at, it became a home away from home for me.

So, when Pat announced she was retiring and selling the studio, another seed was planted inside me! I didn't know if it was possible, but throughout this last year, when other doors closed; this one stayed open ... the door to my home-away-from-home!

So, January 1, 2017, Pat and I transferred ownership. Pat worked hard to build the community of dedicated and loving teachers and students we have here. Moving forward, I too am committed to continue building our community and dedicated to the same excellence in providing the amazing benefits Iyengar Yoga has to offer!

We offer eight week sessions that include beginning, advanced and Gentle level classes which are appropriate for any student!

As a bonus, during the first two weeks of a session any student new to Tree House is welcome to take a free class in our Gentle or Level 1 classes. Additionally, we have opportunities for deepening your yoga practice with a variety of workshops; including weekend workshops hosted by advanced and Senior Iyengar yoga teachers.

This year we'll be adding new classes, such as kids and teen yoga classes, as well as more specialty workshops. Our certified teachers offer private yoga classes.

Tree House is located in Rose Crossing Plaza
on Ballinger Way

For more info visit our website

We invite you to visit us at Tree House Iyengar Yoga, the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Center of Puget Sound!

We are located in the Rose Crossing Plaza, 20011 Ballinger Way NE, Suite 209 in Shoreline. That’s the corner of 19th Avenue and Ballinger where Umpqua Bank is located.

We are on the second floor at the rear of the building over the drive-thru lane. This light and airy spot puts us back up in the trees.
With easy access from I-5 we are convenient to North Seattle, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mountlake Terrace, Richmond Beach, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, and Bothell.

St. Luke student serves as page in Washington State Senate

Cody Dotson with Sen. Chase
Photo by LSS Photography

Cody Dotson, 14, served as a page in the Washington State Senate during the week of January 9, the first week of the 2017 Legislative Session. Sen. Maralyn Chase, D-32, sponsored Dotson’s week in the Legislature.

“It was so good to have Cody here to gain firsthand experience in the Legislature,” said Chase. “He is a bright student and it’s possible we will see him here in the future.”

During their week at the Capitol, pages learn about the legislative process while assisting senators and staff. They get to hear lectures from guest speakers and attend page school where they get to write their own bills in a mock committee setting. Dotson worked on legislation that would legalize the possession of a switchblade. His bill passed the committee with a large majority vote.

“It was interesting to see the process” said Dotson. “It helped me to appreciate how a bill becomes a law.”

Pages have several main responsibilities during the week that take them all around the Capital campus and give them access to places restricted to the general public. Their short journeys give the pages the opportunity to meet and speak with many people. For Dotson, this was the best part of his page experience.

“It’s been interesting to see people from all over the state in one place” said Dotson. “Meeting new people has been the best part of this experience.”

Dotson is currently in eighth grade at St. Luke School in Shoreline. He enjoys skiing and recently learned how to snowboard.

Shorewood 59 - Shorecrest 21

Crosstown rivals met at Shorecrest on Friday night to decide who takes home the Spartan Cup this year.

To start the night off the Meridian Park Elementary School Wrestling Rhinos put on an exhibition for the crowd. Coached by PE teacher Matt Alford, the little grapplers showed how much they have learned.

The dual meet started off with a rematch of the 2017 Shoreline Invite finals. Shorecrest's Kaiya Conway controlled Kody Carpenter for most of the match before getting reversed to his back and almost giving up a pin deep into the third round. His lead held and he avoided the pin to stay a perfect 3-0 versus Shorewood wrestlers on the season.

The T-Birds responded with a quick first round pin from Curt Tanaka over Roman Shadduck. Not to be outdone, the Scots responded with a third round pin from Trentyn Good over Richard Street.

From there on it was all T-Birds as the west side grapplers ripped off a technical fall and seven straight pins to seal the match.

The Spartan Cup will stay in the trophy case at Shorewood for another year with the T-Birds beating the Scots 59-21.

Ask the Bird Lady: Northern Flickers have taken up residence in my attic

Photo by Christine Southwick
Reader Melissa asks:

I have a problem and I could use some advice. The Northern Flickers have drilled holes in two of the eaves at the back of the house and they are living in the attic. They actually appear to be neat tenants and they seem to be keeping the other riff raff out, but they make a bit of noise and I'm not sure how much mess baby woodpecker's will make.

Would you just call a pest removal company?

I thought about buying two woodpecker houses and hanging them over the holes but I need a two story ladder.

Not sure what to do - I want to be humane so I think I need to do something before egg laying season....  Any thoughts?

Bird Lady Chris Southwick replies:

Thanks, Melissa for asking me. I do have a couple of suggestions.

First off, these flickers should not be eliminated. They are considered an indicator species by the National Forest Management Act, meaning that they are a bird that other species depend upon and can be watched to determine the health of a forest, and forest edges.

They are a primary cavity nester that other wildlife depend upon for their habitat needs.

First, the reason that the flickers have used the eaves is that the trees they need, their habitat, keeps shrinking.

Every time a large tree is cut down, there are fewer places for the woodpeckers to roost and nest, and also for the smaller birds (like chickadees, wrens, bluebirds, swallows, kestrels, owls, even squirrels) that use the last years' holes for their nesting and getting out of the cold/wet winter weather.

Snags can be made out of any tree that seems dangerous, and by creating snags you can create/save nesting holes, storage areas for food, feeding perches, communication centers for birds, and many other uses that we as humans overlook.

Besides, it is easy to see fun birds, like brown creepers, nuthatches, several different woodpeckers, and other birds, on the trunk of a snag.  It is also easy to see the chickadees, wrens and other cavity nesters that take advantage of the woodpecker cavities.

So, that being said, putting up nest boxes for the flickers is a great idea. They would not be using your house if there were good alternatives. Ideally, I would put one up in the eave, blocking the hole they use the most, and fill the other hole with crumpled newspaper  (Don't ask me why, but crumpled newspaper deters all birds -- starlings, house sparrows, etc. -- I know it works).

If you can afford it, I would also put another nest box, facing the same direction as the holes in your eaves, on another close by LARGE tree.

If the tree is large enough, you could actually block both holes, and have them move into the nest box. Buy at either Wild Birds Unlimited in Lake Forest Park, or the Seattle Audubon Nature Store, or build your own (WDFW has plans).

Follow the directions, and remember to put some wood chips in the nest box (if you almost fill it up, starlings are less apt to use the box.

Pink hats for Women's marches Saturday

Krista Tenney added braids
Have you seen all the pink hats around town? They are knit out of various shades of pink yarn and all them have little ears.

The Women's March on Washington D.C. asked all its participants to knit and wear the Pussy Hats.

Many of the 200 or more marches around the country have adopted the Pussy Project.

Organizers for the Womxn's March on Seattle say that they are not officially part of the Pussy Project but expect to see hundreds of local women wearing their hats.

There is an internet rumor, which may be true, that pink yarn has sold out around the country. Locally, Mad Cow Yard in Lake Forest Park gathered all their pink hued yarn on one table, with hat patterns, to make it easy for shoppers.

Other Washington state rallies will be held in Bellingham, Ephrata, Friday Harbor, Longview, Mount Vernon, Olympia, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Union, Vancouver, Wenatchee, and Yakima.

Dept of Ecology publishes first report on crude oil transported by rail

From the Washington State Department of Ecology

State also awards grants for oil spill response equipment

Statistics detailing how much crude oil is entering Washington by rail are now available thanks to the 2015 Oil Transportation Safety Act.

According to figures provided to the Washington Department of Ecology, 618 million gallons of crude oil entered the state by rail during October, November and December 2016. (This first-of-its-kind quarterly report is available on Ecology’s website.)

Collecting information on where, when and how much oil enters Washington by rail will allow emergency responders to better prepare for potential spills, derailments or other incidents.

Source: Department of Ecology


Report summarizes crude-by-rail info

The report is a product of the state’s newly-adopted rule that requires facilities that receive crude oil by rail to notify the state in advance. Ecology initially shares the information with emergency managers in potentially affected areas. The agency later publishes quarterly reports summarizing oil-movement information. The rule also applies to pipelines, which will provide biannual reports.

“We now have a more complete picture of crude oil moving through Washington because we have information about all modes of transport – vessel, rail and pipeline,” said Dale Jensen, Spills program manager. “Today, emergency responders know ahead of time that crude oil is moving through their communities and can better prepare for potential spills.”

Map courtesy Dept of Ecology

Grants will help local responders

Meanwhile, Ecology will soon provide many local emergency agencies with grants for oil spill response and firefighting equipment as part of the Oil Transportation Safety Act. Called the Equipment Cache Grant program, the funds will help the agencies prepare for oil-by-rail incidents. Ecology received 42 project proposals and this week is offering $777,000 to eligible projects.

“We still have more work to do to enhance safety, but it’s nice to see the progress,” Jensen said.

Other activities under the act can be viewed on Ecology’s website.

Letter to the Editor: Why I love the Shoreline School District

To the Editor:

When moving to LFP nearly a dozen years ago, I had heard that the Shoreline School District was good. This was important since our son was a toddler and we expected to be a part of the public school community. What I didn't realize was how good the schools would be - and how much admiration and respect I would end up having for the District administration, staff and teachers. With an upcoming bond election on February 14th, it is critical that we continue to support our schools.

What makes Shoreline School District worthy of your vote?

- The level of communication from the District is outstanding, as is transparency on nearly every issue and decision, no matter how controversial.

- The Superintendent does an exceptional job of connecting with individual schools and values partnership with our PTAs.

- Schools are encouraged to keep their unique school culture and methods of delivering quality instruction, while the District keeps an eye on standards alignment.

- The School Board considers staffing/program additions, as the budget allows. We now have staffed Career Centers in both high schools, an Equity Director and a regularly updated curriculum.

- Nearly every student is taught by an educator who meets the definition of a Highly Qualified Teacher.

These things, of course, have nothing to do with buildings - and the February 14th vote will be for a construction bond. But quality school buildings help ensure that our facilities adequately support the needs of teachers and students and help provide the exceptional learning environment that Shoreline schools are known for.

Show your love for Shoreline schools and vote yes on the school bond!!

Pollet and Frockt propose treating tax exemptions like budget line items

While education is constitutionally underfunded and children’s classrooms are overcrowded, the state offers hundreds of tax exemptions that account for hundreds of millions of dollars, with little to no review for most.

New legislation introduced by Rep. Gerry Pollet (D-46) and Sen. David Frockt (D-46) would increase tax exemption transparency and accountability by requiring tax loopholes be listed in a special budget, requiring a biennial vote just like the operating budget.

The bill would acknowledge the actual cost of tax exemptions in the budget, require that the purpose and necessity of each exemption be listed in the “tax exemption budget,” and require a public hearing and vote to adopt it.

In addition, the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee would be required to recommend an exemption be closed if analysis showed the cost to the public outweighed the benefits.

“It’s time we acknowledge that when we give a break to business, it costs our budget. Every tax loophole we pass must be reviewed regularly. Tax loopholes should not have a free pass to drain money from our budget without review. Accountability demands that we change this system” said Pollet.

“The state needs to end tax exemptions as off-budget spending and put tax exemptions into the state budget for accountability and transparency “said Steve Zemke, a long-time tax transparency advocate.

Unless an exemption has a specific sunset or review clause, passed after 2013, or is reviewed by JLARC, very few exemptions receive scrutiny by legislators. This law would require biennial review of all exemptions to improve accountability to the public.

Sen. Frockt and Rep. Gerry Pollet represent the 46th Legislative District which includes Lake Forest Park, Kenmore and portions of northeast Seattle.
