Costco followed the rules about how many people could be in the Aurora Village store at one time. This created a long line of people outside waiting to get in.

They were all observing the six foot distancing rule.

No idea how long they waited. Were you in that line?

Two persons of interest arrested in connection with murder of 7-11 clerk in Edmonds

An overnight standoff in south King county resulted in the arrest on warrants of two individuals wanted for questioning in the death of 7-11 clerk Nagendiram Kandasamy in Edmonds, just north of the Shoreline border.

According to reporting by MyEdmondsNews.com,

Edmonds police spokesperson Sgt. Josh McClure identified those arrested as a 23-year-old Enumclaw man and a 24-year-old Auburn woman. Both of them had warrants for their arrest issued by the State Department of Corrections — the man had 10 previous felony convictions and the woman one felony conviction. 
While the two are not yet suspects in the murder, police were able to book them into Snohomish County Jail Sunday based on those warrants. Because they are not yet suspects, police are not identifying them.

Police are still asking for help from the community. Tip line 425-771-0212, email policetips@edmondswa.gov.

City of Shoreline COVID-19 Update

City of Shoreline COVID-19 Update

As we participate in the fight to stop the spread of COVID-19, we want to express how thankful we are to see how the Shoreline community has found ways to support one another. 

We understand how challenging a sustained event like this is, both economically and emotionally. 

However, the only way we can effectively address this crisis is if everyone does their part. Social distancing will be the key to slowing the spread of the disease and ensuring our healthcare system isn’t overwhelmed. 

We strongly encourage everyone to abide by the restrictions that have been put in place by Governor Inslee, King County, and our Public Health agencies.

At a press conference on Monday, Governor Inslee urged everyone to “Treat the next two weeks as a period of self-quarantine, to protect yourself and the lives and health of your loved ones and the entire community.”

New public gathering rules

Governor Inslee and Public Health officials are now prohibiting all public gatherings of more than 50 people. Events of less than 50 people are discouraged, and if held must meet hygiene and social distancing criteria outlined by public health.

Bars, dance halls, clubs, theaters, health and fitness clubs, and other similar social or recreational venues must cease operations until March 31.

Restaurants and food service establishments may remain open only for drive-through, pick-up, or delivery service only until March 31. No seated dining is allowed.

COVID-19 Public Health recommendations to protect our community

Individual Impacts

The Washington State Employment Security Department has expanded benefits for workers. Eligible workers will be able to collect unemployment insurance if an employer must shut down or reduce hours due to public health rules, quarantine, or business slowdown. Visit esd.wa.gov for more information and to apply.

Small business impacts

The City has been advised that new federal legislation and appropriations have opened up the possibility for small businesses to receive assistance for economic loss due to COVID-19. The SBA is still developing details around eligibility and administration of this assistance.

If you are a small business impacted by COVID-19, we encourage you to go to shorelinewa.gov/business and fill out a survey from the Small Business Administration on your economic impacts.

We are partnering with the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce to collect information about local small business impacts in Shoreline, which will then be combined with regional data and given to the SBA.

We are tracking potential relief measures that may become available.

Utilities

All Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) and Seattle City Light (SCL) customers can set up deferred payment plans if their financial stability has been jeopardized by COVID-19. Utility service will stay on as their deferred payment plans are developed and implemented. For more information visit City of Seattle - Office of the Mayor COVID-19.

(Editor: A PSE representative shared the same information with the city council at Monday's meeting.)

Parks, Trails, and outdoor recreation

Parks and trails are open. All outdoor park programs and outside rentals and permits are canceled until further notice.

The City of Shoreline has made the decision not to close outdoor parks and park facilities. It is important that people be able to get out and enjoy themselves in an environment that is poses less risk for transmission of COVID-19. People should continue to practice social distancing and not congregate. Keep at least six feet apart.

We have increased cleaning of restrooms to twice per day; however, we are not disinfecting the play equipment. We encourage everyone to wash their hands frequently, especially after having been outside.

Recology Store is closed

All Recology Stores are temporarily closed at this time. Curbside collection service is operating normally. Recology also offers free curbside collection for many of the same items accepted for drop-off recycling at the store. Visit Recology.com/shoreline for billing or customer service, or to schedule a special item pickup. During the store closure, items should not be left in front of the stores. Illegal dumping is prohibited and considered a public health hazard.

Donate Blood

Our local blood supply is in danger of collapse. Bloodworks Northwest has more information on coronavirus, who is eligible to donate blood, and donation locations.

Stay-At-Home St Pat's Show Mar 17 with The Gothard Sisters

The Gothard Sisters are natives of Edmonds. They have been playing, singing, and dancing Celtic music for years, since the youngest sister was a pre-teen. They travel the nation and the world, performing their exuberant style of dancing and music.

They have announced their special St. Pat's show - which will be online.
 

"For the first time in over 10 years of being in Celtic music and Irish dance, 2020 is the first year that we do not have a concert on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th. 

"And with all the concerts and live performances that are being cancelled this year for safety reasons, we thought - why not take the show online and make it available worldwide?

"So we've decided to take matters into our own hands - this show will be completely safe and you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own living room. ☘️

"Click the link for all the information on the show, when and where to watch it, and why we're doing this."


They ask for a donation of any amount for the 60 minute show.

"Please donate only what makes sense to you - no pressure. Everyone's having different levels of a hard time right now."

Burney Brothers BBQ in Third Place Commons is going out of business on March 22

Burney Bros is going out of business Mar 22
Photo by Steven H. Robinson


A reader tipped us that Burney Brothers BBQ in Third Place Commons was going out of business.

We were at Third Place today, and there was a notice on the counter that Burney Bros. BBQ will be closing, with their last day being March 22. They’ve been in business since 2004, according to the sign.

She commiserated with the owner, who said “We’ve reached the end of the road.” 

Not sure what that means, exactly, if it’s to do with rents or lack of customers or what, but it’s a shame and folks might want to drop by in the next couple weeks to get their last BBQ fix.

For the Birds: Our Winter Warblers

Female Townsend's Warbler
Photo by Craig Kerns
By Christine Southwick

Are you seeing warblers in your yard in the wintertime, really?

YESS!

As a rule, warblers go south in the winter—at least most of them do.

The majority of Townsend’s Warblers and Yellow-rumped Warblers migrate south, but there are sub-groups of these two species that have decided they would hunker down here rather than undertake the arduous journeys southward and back.

The ones who do migrate long distances may start late, be spread over extended periods, and spring migration is often late compared to other warblers. Additionally, some of the Townsend’s Warblers that breed in British Columbia only migrate as far south as here.

In our local area, many Townsend’s and Yellow-rumped eat suet as they replace their now-scarce summer-diet of insects. These warblers are often seen at bird baths, drinking and cleaning their feathers (so keep your bird baths liquid in cold weather).

Male Townsend's Warbler
Photo by Craig Kerns
Both species will eat fruit during the wintertime, including shriveled blackberries, and can be found in yards with bushes and trees.

It isn’t until winter that these two species venture into more open areas and lower elevations in search of food, and milder weather.

Another reason we notice them in the winter more than the rest of the year is that both Townsend’s Warblers and Yellow-rumped Warblers usually stay in dense evergreens the rest of the year and breed high up in conifers.

Townsend’s Warblers need large dense conifer forests. Unfortunately, their mid-elevation forested habitat has been heavily timbered causing large habitat loss for the Townsend’s, thus putting them a risk. Yellow-rumped Warblers, being a little more flexible habitat-wise, are currently doing well in Washington.

Female Yellow-rumped Warbler
Photo by Greg Lavaty
Both species form monogamous seasonal pairs, hide their cup-shaped nests in conifers, and the males of each species help feed up to five young.

In good years females may have a second brood, while the males feed and teach the first brood.

Both species stay in somewhat solitary pairs most of the year, only forming small flocks during migrations.

Yellow-rumped Warblers are a little larger than Townsend’s Warblers, weighing in at .5 ounces versus .3 ounces, but the Townsend’s have more yellow than the Yellow-rumped.

The Pacific Northwest does not have as many warbler species as the east coast, but we do have two warblers that visit us in the wintertime — something most of the east coast can’t claim.

Shoreline Chamber of Commerce hears from speaker with inspirational life story

Tina Mitchell spoke to the
Chamber of Commerce

The Shoreline Chamber of Commerce held their monthly luncheon on Wednesday, March 11, 2020 with featured inspirational speaker Tina Mitchell.

Mitchell is an accomplished businesswoman, entrepreneur, author, keynote speaker, coach, radio personality, and philanthropist.

During Tina's talk, she shared her personal core practices inspired by her history of traumas, failures, and suc­cesses. 

From as early as age seven and well into her adult years, her choices and actions have been formed by such events as her father's attempted suicide, playing violin with her sister at Pike Place Market to keep a roof over their heads, bearing the trauma of her first husband's incarceration, and losing her daughter Amber.

In spite of these circumstances, she went on to live an extraordinary personal and professional life.

Tina shared the stories that shaped her life and molded her into the person she is today.

Her message: embrace your own circumstances, appreciate your own failures, and build your own personal brand of success.

Reported by MyEdmondsNews.com


A two-alarm fire caused more than $400,000 damage to the Colonial Pantry Restaurant in Edmonds’ Firdale Village Friday morning, March 13, 2020.

A customer called 911 at 7:50am to report a kitchen fire in the restaurant at Firdale Village, a two-story commercial building in the 9600 block of Firdale Way. Customers and employees safely exited the restaurant located on the top floor. One employee was exposed to smoke, and as a precaution, was transported by firefighters to a hospital.

With reports of black smoke and flames from the roof, South County Fire called for a second alarm.

Shoreline Fire crews responded to assist. About 50 firefighters were on scene at the peak of the fire. They had the fire under control within about 30 minutes and kept the fire contained to the restaurant kitchen and attic. A tanning salon on the lower level of the building sustained water damage. All other businesses in the building were cleared to reopen by noon.

COVID-19 Small Business Assistance Resources Available and Request for Impact Information

The City of Shoreline and Shoreline Chamber of Commerce are partnering to collect information about local small business impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak.

To see how "small business" is defined for your industry, see Table of Size Standards from the Small Business Administration (SBA).

We are tracking potential relief measures that may become available and would like to encourage all Shoreline businesses to provide information on the impacts to their business. The Small Business Administration is also still developing guidance for COVID-19. Please sign up to receive update notifications.

Bookmark this site COVID-19 Resources for Local Businesses for the latest updates on local impacts to small businesses

The SBA has enlisted the City and other local partners to collect and transmit information. In order to streamline information to the SBA, we ask that you work directly with us and not directly with the SBA during this process.

Please complete this form: Estimated Disaster Economic Injury Worksheet for Business and return to C19BizResponse@shorelinewa.gov which will help provide a more accurate assessment of impacts to small businesses. You are not required to fill out this form, but it will help the SBA in addressing relief for small businesses.

The City has been advised that new federal legislation and appropriations have opened up the possibility for small businesses to receive assistance for economic loss due to COVID-19. The SBA is still developing details around eligibility and administration of this assistance. However, some information from the traditional SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program will still apply for COVID-19.
 
If a small business has suffered substantial economic injury as a result of COVID-19, it may be eligible for financial assistance from the U.S. Small Business Administration. 

Small businesses and small agricultural cooperatives that have suffered substantial economic injury may be eligible for the SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Program.
 
Substantial economic injury is the inability of a business to meet its obligations as they mature and to pay its ordinary and necessary operating expenses. 

An EIDL can help meet necessary financial obligations that a business could have met had the disaster not occurred. 

It provides relief from economic injury caused directly by the disaster and permits the business to maintain a reasonable working capital position during the period affected by the disaster.
 
The SBA provides EIDL assistance only to those businesses that the SBA determines are unable to obtain credit elsewhere.

  • The loan amount will be based on the business' actual economic injury and financial needs.
  • The interest rate on EIDLs cannot exceed 4% per year.
  • The term of the loans cannot exceed 30 years.
  • Terms and conditions will be determined by the business' ability to repay the loan.
  • Impacts to Working Families


The City of Shoreline is also tracking childcare centers that have closed and other closures that are impacting working families. We are asking for your help, please contact us with any information you can provide.

Contact us at C19BizResponse@shorelinewa.gov.

Please note: neither the City of Shoreline or the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce is directly distributing assistance to impacted businesses at this time. This is a request for information only. Resources that may be available to you will require action on your part to access. We will endeavor to continue to provide you with useful information as this emerging situation continues to evolve.

Coronavirus: One person's experience

By Cynthia Sheridan

How does one contract the coronavirus? 

For Shoreline resident Tee, she believes it may have happened at choir practice, which was four days before she began coughing and feeling extremely exhausted.

After speaking to medical staff on the phone, Tee slept for the next three or four days while taking Advil for aches and gargling frequently. 

A low-grade temperature came and went, along with chills. 

On the fifth day she went to urgent care, had her nose swabbed and tested positive for CV 19. 

The second week, sleep was difficult; Tee felt restless and sometimes overwhelmed with sadness. Her brain raced in awkward and unpleasant ways while her body ached. 

Fortunately for Tee, at age 72 she is in good shape, exercises and is active in the community. In her case, there was no lung involvement and she is taking no medication other than Advil. 

Between friends bringing food and grocery delivery (Instacart online) Tee focuses on both eating and staying hydrated.

Now beginning the third week of her illness, Tee feels she is recovering; she’s sleeping better and is hungry at mealtimes but still coughing. It is unknown whether or not Tee is now immune to the virus. 

Her final observation: “Do avoid it if you possible can.”

Gov. Inslee to shut down restaurants, bars, and entertainment and recreational facilities


Gov. Jay Inslee released a statement Sunday night that further expands protections against COVID-19 by shutting down in-person dining in restaurants. It further temporarily closes bars, entertainment and recreational facilities. 

“Given the explosion of COVID-19 in our state and globally, I will sign a statewide emergency proclamation tomorrow to temporarily shut down restaurants, bars and entertainment and recreational facilities.

“Restaurants will be allowed to provide take-out and delivery services but no in-person dining will be permitted.

“The ban will not apply to grocery stores and pharmacies. Other retail outlets will have reduced occupancy.

“Additionally, all gatherings with over 50 participants are prohibited and all gatherings under 50 participants are prohibited unless previously announced criteria for public health and social distancing are met.

“These are very difficult decisions, but hours count here and very strong measures are necessary to slow the spread of the virus. I know there will be significant economic impacts to all our communities and we are looking at steps to help address those challenges.

“Tonight, after consultations with me and with the Department of Health, King County announced that they will be taking these actions immediately. King County has been the hotbed of this outbreak and has the largest population center in the state. I have spoken to Executive Dow Constantine and I applaud their decision to act quickly. We will do a joint media announcement with more details tomorrow morning.”

Book review by Aarene Storms: Wayward Son

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell (Simon Snow #2)

Simon Snow is still the worst Chosen One ever, and now he's the worst Chosen One with no magic who refuses to get off the couch. Baz is the vampire boyfriend who loves Simon and doesn't know how to help. Penelope is the other friend who doesn't know how to help.

And then, Agatha (the other-other friend) needs rescuing (again), so Simon (finally) gets off the couch and flexes his wings (yes, wings) and the whole gang heads out on an All-American Road Trip, where they meet up with were-skunks, dragon-mountains, Renn-Faire Vampires, and so much more.

Come for the plot, stay for the characters. The story started slowly, and if it weren't for my prior love of this author and these characters and this world, I'd have abandoned the book days ago. Happily, I didn't abandon it, because once they got the vampire into the convertible heading across Illinois, I wanted it to go on forever, with the little twists and turns that Rainbow Rowell writes so awesomely.

Blood (vampires, duh), cussing (in British and American), magic (of various types), fighting (with words, swords, and other implements of destruction), kissing, Thai food, SUVs, off-page sex, underage drinking, and other good stuff.

Highly recommended for ages 14 to adult, but read book #1 Carry On first if you want the whole thing to make sense.
 
The events may not have happened; still, the story is true. --R. Silvern
