To be more specific, four local artists in our Beach Orca public art project will be on hand with their completed art piece for your viewing pleasure. The artists will talk about the process each of them used to embellish their art piece, as well as the artistic message they convey through their completed art. Following the presentations, there will be a Q and A discussion among artists and community members.

In addition to the dialogue with artists, community members in attendance will hear Eric Friedli, the City of Shoreline Director of Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources, talk about the goals for public art in Shoreline and how the Richmond Beach public art project fits into these goals. Plus he will highlight for you about 25 pieces of public art already in place across Shoreline.

Last but not least, Alisa Lemire Brooks, Orca Network’s Whale Sighting Network Coordinator, will join us to talk about the role of their network in raising awareness about the whales of our region and the importance of providing them healthy and safe environments.

King's High School Robotics to present at national conference in Houston Apr 21

Robotics program for students with and without special needs
Photo by Noelle Foster

FRC Team 4911 CyberKnights, a robotics team from King’s High School, is proud to announce they will be leading a conference on Special Olympics Unified Robotics at the FIRST Robotics World Championships in Houston, Texas.

This session will introduce Special Olympics Unified Robotics, a robotics program for students with and without special needs, to FIRST Robotics teams from around the world. The session will demonstrate how Unified Robotics helps bridge the achievement gap by empowering students with special needs to participate in robotics, to be involved in a STEM program, and to develop important life skills including self-confidence, communication and leadership.

Special Olympics Unified Robotics was started by a member of the CyberKnights who was inspired by her sister with autism. She recognized that students with special needs often have constrained access to engineering and programming classes because of staff support requirements and significant modifications. Unified Robotics is an unprecedented accepting and hands-on way to introduce these students to STEM concepts.

“By offering this club to a diverse population of students, we can broaden their interests and experiences in STEM-related activities, as well as teach them basic life and job skills that will open more doors in their futures,” said Noelle Foster, CyberKnights mentor. 
“In addition to introducing programming and engineering concepts to a population of students not typically engaged in these areas, Unified Robotics is an educational and leadership experience for every student involved.”

Conference attendees will learn:

•       The importance of Unified Robotics
•       How to start a Unified Robotics program at their school
•       How to fund the program
•       Marketing and public relationships
•       Recruiting tips
•       The personal impact it has made on past participants

 “Our goal is to expand Unified Robotics so that every high school student has access to robotics,” said Mike Thompson, CyberKnights coach and King’s High School teacher. 
“We wish to share our experiences and spread awareness of the importance of this program with FIRST Robotics teams everywhere. We will provide support and instruction on how to start this program at other schools. Participants will learn how this program is beneficial and impactful for all members involved.”

The conference will be held in Houston, Texas on Friday, April 21. The session will be led by a panel of students, mentors and coaches impacted by Unified Robotics including Mike Thompson, Noelle Foster and students Jane Yi, Joanne Yi, Laurie Machida, Eneya Kwesele, Madeleine Schwitters, and Eva Lu.

AG Ferguson releases immigration guidance for local government

Thursday, April 6, 2017

Guidance Concerning Immigration Enforcement 
Attorney General Bob Ferguson released guidance for local governments on protecting the rights of all Washington residents, and the limits of federal immigration authority.

Ferguson’s extensive guidance addresses local law enforcement, jails, public hospitals, schools and employers, as well as interactions between local jurisdictions and federal authorities.

It includes model language that can be used to enact laws and policies on how local government entities should respond to federal requests for assistance with immigration enforcement.

“Recent changes in federal immigration policy and practices have caused needless fear and uncertainty in our communities,” Ferguson said. “This guidance helps local governments protect their residents and understand their obligations and their authority in this shifting landscape.”

Non-citizens — like other Washingtonians — are afforded certain rights by the Washington and United States constitutions and by federal and state laws that protect rights to access services and to privacy in many settings. Local entities are subject to certain requirements under the law but also retain significant discretion in many areas, regardless of whether an individual is lawfully present in the United States.

  • For example: No federal law requires a local police department to engage in law enforcement activities for the sole purpose of enforcing civil immigration law.
  • Another example: Local governments and private organizations are not required to allow immigration authorities to enter non-public areas of a building without a warrant signed by a judge.
  • Another example: K-12 schools are not required to collect information about student or parent immigrant status and are not required to share information with federal immigration authorities about student addresses, class schedules, or activities.

This guide is not meant to assist individuals with immigration issues. The Attorney General’s Office does not represent individuals in private legal matters.

Those in need of individual assistance should contact a reputable source such as the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. Eligibility requirements are available online in English and Spanish here. Assistance is available for residents across Washington and those detained at the Northwest Detention Center.

More information on how to find reliable assistance with immigration issues, and avoid scammers, is available here.

Shorecrest and Shorewood will renew boys soccer acquaintance Friday night

Expect Jack Bong (left) to be a standout for Shorewood

By Frank Workman

Shorecrest and Shorewood will renew boys soccer acquaintances Friday night, 7 o'clock, at Shoreline Stadium.

It's a great opportunity for moms and dads, as well as our local youth coaches, to bring their teams out, boys and girls alike, to watch the big kids play and be a part of the action.

The two teams played a non-league game on March 21, with the Scots earning a 1-0 win.

While that game didn't count in the 3A Wesco standings, when these two teams play each other, it always MATTERS.

The Scots come into Friday's game with a 1-3 league mark, 2-5-1 overall, while the T-Birds stand at 3-2 in league, 3-5-1 for the season.

In some respects, new Shorewood coach Gary Harris is going through that awkward, yet exciting, phase of being in a new relationship, as he acquaints himself with the boys on his team and how best to deploy their skills.

"It has taken about 5 games to figure out who plays what position, as well as finding a formation that suits us best," said Coach Harris.
"Now that we have found both, we are just working on getting better as a team. We have had some wins which have helped our confidence but we know we still have a long way to go. That being said, it is a very balanced league this year and if a team does not show up on any given night, they will pay for it."
Coach Harris continued, "Right now we are the true definition of a team. When everyone is doing their job we look pretty good. When somebody messes up it affects all of us. We are just trying to get better as a team."


Goalkeeper Nathaniel Poole, a junior, has come up with several important saves for the T-Birds, while big senior Jack Bong and lightning-fast sophomore Edwin Montiel stand out for Shorewood.

Expect the Scots to count on juniors Ricardo Ruiz and Elliot Misic to provide the team's scoring punch, while junior Carter Clasen defends the net in goal.

Tennis fans - Roger Federer and John Isner in Seattle for exhibition match to benefit children's education in Africa


Roger Federer joins Bill Gates, and John Isner in Seattle for the Match for Africa 4 to benefit children’s education in Africa. Gates and Federer announced it in a fun video here

Tickets can be purchased at the KeyArena Box Office, Ticketmaster.com, or charge by phone toll free at 800-745-3000. Net proceeds benefit the Roger Federer Charitable Fund / Roger Federer Foundation.

Fresh off his record-setting 18th Grand Slam win at the Australian Open in January and a sweep of the recent U.S. hard court events in Indian Wells and Miami, legendary tennis champion Roger Federer will play his first-ever match in Seattle on Saturday, April 29.

Federer will take on American tennis star John Isner at KeyArena in an exhibition match. Celebrity guests including Bill Gates will also take to the court to test their game against the two tennis champions.

As a warm-up, the 18-time Grand Slam champion will team with the Microsoft co-founder and co-chair of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a friendly, one-set doubles match against Isner and a surprise celebrity partner.

Federer and Isner will then go head-to-head in a best-of-three-sets match that offers the region’s first up-close look at Federer’s legendary game. The match comes amid Federer’s unprecedented resurgence and rise back up the rankings.

This is the fourth Match for Africa event for the Roger Federer Foundation, which has given $29 million to support children’s education in six African countries and Federer’s native Switzerland.

Seattle’s Match for Africa is proudly presented by the Starbucks Foundation, Rolex, Microsoft, and Nike.

WeatherWatcher: High Wind Watch has been issued



The National Weather Service in Seattle has issued a high wind watch in effect for the entire region late Friday morning through Friday evening. A high wind watch means there is the potential for a hazardous high wind event, with sustained winds of at least 40 mph or gusts of at least 58 mph.

There is a powerful Pacific storm developing off of the Northern California coast / southern Oregon coast. Earlier models were showing it would remain too far west, north and small to initially give us the really strong winds.

Today's models now show it is expected to have a much larger in diameter low center and the tracking is slightly further east, putting us in a stronger zone of the storm if it moves and develops as projected.

Strong wind storms and convergence zone snow storms, though rare, are not out of the question as late as April for our area. The expected strength of this wind storm, however, is more typical of a November or December storm system.

What is expected: I'm going to say there is about a 50% chance that this storm will develop and track in favor of this wind watch.

If such conditions develop, winds are expected to peak around the early afternoon hours of Friday with sustained winds from 20-40mph, and gusts up to 60mph might be possible.

Power outages are possible and weak trees or trees in saturated soils could be knocked over with these winds.

In general late season wind storms here don't do as much damage because most of the trees have been pruned by earlier season windstorms and we haven't had our spring and summer growth season yet.

After five decades, Wight’s Home & Garden in Lynnwood to close this June

Photo courtesy Lynnwood Today

Wight’s Home and Garden, located at 5026 196th St SW in Lynnwood, officially announced Wednesday that it is closing after decades of being a family-owned business and a Lynnwood landmark.

The building was purchased by Snohomish County Senior Services, a non-profit organization based in Everett which provides transportation, health, social and nutrition services to Snohomish County’s senior residents.

“It’s only fitting that the new future of Wight’s involves helping people and serving the community,” Wight’s Home and Garden wrote in its official announcement posted on its website.


Photo courtesy Lynnwood Today


Wight’s is expected to close sometime this June.

Wight’s first opened in 1963. It was purchased by the current owner’s parents in 1983, when it was primarily a garden center and nursery. While those products have remained a staple of Wight’s business, it has also become well known for its holiday goods and decorations, especially during Christmastime.

The company has also been an active contributor to local charities.

“The legacy of Wight’s Home and Garden is more than that of a destination for a highly effective dose of retail therapy,” the announcement states, going on to list events hosted for breast cancer awareness and an annual Christmas Charity Gala benefitting Seattle Children’s Hospital.

The owners say they are now looking forward to retiring.

“This decision, while appropriate for the family at this time, is still bittersweet,” the announcement says. 
“From the bottom of our hearts, we want to say thank you. Thank you for over three decades of letting us into your homes and gardens.”


Employees were first told about the closure on Wednesday.

The 3.14 acre property is currently valued at $4.18 million, according to the Snohomish County Assessor. A sale price is not yet listed.

Shoreline’s Million Step Challenge is expanding - How far can you walk Shoreline?

 

Shoreline’s Million Step Challenge is starting up on May 1 with some exciting changes and a new community goal of 5 million steps walked during the month of May.

The Million Step Challenge is a free, month-long event that invites people of all ages and abilities to walk as much as they can during the month of May in the name of health, fitness, and friendly competition.

Participants compete against each other for prizes, as well as working together to reach the community goal of 5 million steps walked in one month’s time.

Going on its fourth year, the Million Step Challenge started at Paramount School Park in Shoreline’s Ridgecrest Neighborhood.

As the event gained popularity, it became clear it was time to expand the challenge to include other areas of Shoreline. 
New for 2017, the Million Step Challenge is expanding to allow participants to walk anywhere they want and log their totals in several new ways.

Using the online step tracker found on this webpage, walkers can log either their steps from a pedometer, miles, or their laps walked at Paramount School Park.

There is no need to sign up and participants without internet access can log their totals on a paper version of the step tracker located at Paramount School Park (155th St and 8th Ave NE).

City staff will post totals online revealing who the current top steppers are and how far we are in reaching our 5 million-step goal.

The Million Step Challenge is produced in partnership between the City of Shoreline and the Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association.

Many thanks to local business prize sponsors Fire and Earth Kitchen, North City Water District, and Immediate Clinic. For more information, visit the webpage or contact Recreation Specialist Marianne Johnson 206-801-2600.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
By William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

Photo by Lee Lageschulte


The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
