County ‘Penny for Pools’ grant brings $2 million to North King County


The King County Council this week approved the first of three rounds of Aquatic Facilities Grants, including a $1.8 million grant to fund critical renovations at the Juanita High School pool and two $100,000 grants for North King County aquatic center studies.

The competitive grant program is in part possible thanks to the “penny for pools” amendment in the voter-approved 2020-2025 Parks Levy, which was authored by King County Councilmember Rod Dembowski to help address the significant need for swimming pools countywide. 

The program seeks to assist public aquatic facilities through capital funding at any stage from feasibility studies through renovation and repair.

“In my time serving on the King County Council, one of the most frequent topics in my discussions with constituents is the urgent need for an aquatic center in North King County,” Dembowski said. 
“For that reason, I was proud to author the ‘penny for pools' amendment in the King County Parks Levy. It is very exciting to see that amendment come to life with these historic investments in swimming pools and future aquatic facilities.”

One of the $100,000 grants is for a partnership with the cities of Kenmore, Shoreline and Lake Forest Park to find a site and determine appropriate features for a community aquatic center. 

The other $100,000 grant is for a similar partnership between the cities of Kenmore and Kirkland. The four cities are coordinating to provide residents public indoor aquatic access year-round. Based on the growing populations in all four cities, there is believed to be demand and need to support one if not two new regional aquatic facilities.

“Kenmore is strongly committed to connecting our residents to aquatic activities,” said Kenmore Mayor Nigel Herbig. “We are excited to put these King County grants to work with our neighboring cities to study options for one or more aquatic centers to serve North King County residents.”

Built in 1971, the Juanita High School pool is shared by six high schools: Juanita High School, Inglemoor High School, Woodinville High School, Bothell High School, North Creek High School, and Lake Washington High School. The pool is also used by the WAVE Aquatics water polo program. The $1.8 million grant will fund critical updates including outdated HVAC, pool equipment, and much-needed ADA upgrades.

In August 2019, King County residents overwhelmingly supported the Parks Levy which provides funding support for parks and open space throughout the County.

School district facing shortfall for 2022-2023 - studying options for budget reductions

School Board study session May 3, 2022

By Diane Hettrick

Due to a significant decline in enrollment and therefore funding, the Shoreline School District will need to make reductions to balance the 2022-2023 budget. 

Deputy Superintendent Marla Miller and Director of Finance Mark Spangenberg shared a list of nearly 50 ideas generated by administrators with the School Board during the May 3, 2022 study session, but no actions were recommended nor were any decisions made. 

Possible reductions in library staffing or closing schools were among the list of ideas.


18 administrators submitted ideas for consideration. Deputy Superintendent Marla Miller grouped the ideas into categories and noted how many times the idea was suggested.
  1. Recommend i.e this would be the right thing to do
  2. I wonder - i.e. if there’s another way – do we have to do this
  3. Pause i.e we could do this, then look at bringing it back when the enrollment and money increases
Some of the suggestions would involve contracts and bargaining. Others are actually funded by a different funding source.

Miller stressed that none of the ideas are firm. The purpose was to share ideas with the school board and get everyone started thinking about solutions.

Miller said "People value all the things on this list. But if we can’t afford it, these are the things we should look at."

The study session was held on Zoom and was recorded. It is publicly available on the school website and Vimeo channel for those who would like to see the conversation and context.

As families and students start to recover from the pandemic years, school enrollment is down everywhere. A recent analysis in The Seattle Times found that running start enrollments are down around the Sound. Shoreline Community College running start enrollments are down 13.5% and they are one of the lower percentages.

The Seattle Times: New restaurants in north Seattle

The Seattle Times just published an article about 37 new restaurants opening in the Seattle area. Two of them are in north Seattle. (see article here)

KING TUT
AUTHENTIC MEDITERRANEAN HALAL KITCHEN
206-402-6357

After a two-year hiatus, King Tut Mediterranean Restaurant, which had a following in Lynnwood, has reopened on Aurora Ave North near the Shoreline border, doing Egyptian and Middle Eastern comfort fare from grilled chicken and kofta skewers to arguably its best dish, braised lamb with smoked rice.


In North Seattle, one of the most promising Vietnamese restaurants to debut in recent years, Lotus Pond specializes in northern cuisine with bun rieu cua or crab noodle soup and bun cha ha noi or vermicelli noodle with chargrilled pork. 
Lotus Pond is a good primer for those who want to explore Vietnamese cuisine beyond the standbys of pho and banh mis. The appetizer list is absurdly cheap (most items under $9), including standouts bo la lot or charbroiled beef wrapped in betel leaf and fried pork-and-shrimp imperial rolls.

Galaxies at First Light
Kuria Jorissen

Kuria Jorissen

Artist Bio

Growing up, Kuria was always exploring, discovering, and learning. Whether that was exploring the great outdoors or simply expanding her knowledge of art, photography, and more, Kuria kept at it. With her close family and friends being creatives, Kuria grew up going to art shows, building her own art, and capturing the world with a camera at her hip. Over time, that camera kept evolving and upgrading. And she eventually worked her way through a Bachelor's Degree in Photography, with Astrophotography being the focus of her thesis. Graduating was just the start of Kuria's journey. Keeping the momentum going, she worked harder in learning the tools of her trade, and developing new techniques in the field and in the studio to bring her work to the next level. Alongside new techniques for capturing and editing photos, Kuria also researched planning tools, astronomy, and discovered the lesser known stories of the stars. What started as an interest in the outdoors and the night sky above us, evolved into something more for Kuria. It became a way to share the beautiful, night landscapes with the stars painted above. It became a way to communicate and tell lesser known stories of the stars. And it became a medium to encourage people to fight to preserve our national and state parks, and to push back against light pollution to preserve the dark skies.

Ocean of Stars
Kuria Jorissen
Artist Statement


Often traveling to far off wilderness areas, I do most of my work from midnight to 4 am. My work in astrophotography involves constantly learning, researching, and perseverance through many foiled attempts. The one lesson you learn quickly is to never trust the weather reports. I spend much of my time studying new methods, history, astronomy, and the cultures around lesser known stories of the stars.

Through my work, I seek to share the stories of the stars. To showcase the natural beauty that surrounds us. And to bring people to that quiet moment in the wild and show them the beauty of what lies outside. Through this, I also seek to educate and encourage the preservation of our natural lands and dark skies.

Rachel Wold


Artist Bio

Rachel Wold is an abstract artist based in Seattle, Washington. She grew up drawing, painting, and exploring the Pacific Northwest and finds solace and inspiration in nature. Although prolific early in life, Rachel fell out of a creative lifestyle in her mid-twenties after pursuing degrees and a career in science. 

She works as an oceanographer at the University of Washington's Applied Physics Lab and has led research cruises throughout Washington waters. Ideas for artwork would occasionally surface but she didn't know where to start. After suffering first a miscarriage, then postpartum depression after her second child was born, she picked up an old sketchbook in search of emotional relief. Putting pen to paper again after a decade hiatus reignited her creative passion. She now makes time for her art practice around her fulfilling work and raising two small children.

I feel so optimistic
Rachel Wold

Artist Statement


My art is a form of therapy; I create what I feel, what I need. I use expressive abstraction to create a space for reflection, with the goal of engaging viewers on an emotional and visceral level. My paintings begin intuitively, with a few tones inspired by the world around me. I experiment with tactile textures, fluid splatters, mixing and moving, adding and subtracting as a conversation unfolds between the piece and myself. A dialog of exploration and curiosity.

I am interested in what happens at the interface of things, the moment of transition between opposing or parallel ideas, which is often represented in my work as lines or abstract marks. Lines can be interpreted visually as both a dividing and unifying device, and I encourage this duality. Dynamic gestures and moments of rest, loose layers and meticulously added ink are all part of the experience.

Shorewood girls tennis finishes the season undefeated and as WesCo South League Champions

Friday, May 6, 2022

WesCo South League Champions - Shorewood

Shorewood girls varsity tennis wrapped their season with wins over WesCo 4A Glacier Peak and WesCo 3A North team, Arlington. 

They beat Glacier Peak 5-2 and Arlington 7-0.

Shorewood final overall record 13-0 and WesCo South 6-0. 

They earned the league championship and finished with a remarkable individual win and loss record, winning 88 matches and losing only 4 all season. 

They won eleven matches 7-0 and two matches 5-2. 

Coach Arnie Moreno, in his 19th season as varsity coach cannot remember any team in WesCo tennis being this dominant and consistent.

The Shorewood girls’ teams of 2005, 2006, 2007 had a record of 47-1 and Coach Moreno remembers that many of their wins were very close victories. 

He feels that this year's team is as good or better than the 2005 team, with two back-to-back undefeated seasons, and has set a record for individual season win totals, that maybe only they can break or match. 

The Shorewood team returns next season with the same line up.

l-r Singles players sophomore Emily Lin and freshman Rylie Gettmann were undefeated

Leading the team were the singles players who lost only one match. 

Undefeated players were number 1 sophomore Emily Lin, number 2 freshman Rylie Gettmann, number 3 junior Lindsay Rand and number 4 junior Sophia Serwold.

Everett Herald Prep Athlete of the Week April 18 - 24
Emily Lin - Shorewood - Girls Tennis

Lin, a sophomore, went 3-0 in her No. 1 singles matches while helping Shorewood with a trio of wins. Lin didn’t drop a set in her first two victories and closed her week with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Edmonds-Woodway’s Paige Oliver. Lin won The Herald’s Athlete of the Week poll for April 18-24 by claiming 829 (29.9%) of 2,774 votes.

l-r Doubles team sophomore Emma Nelson and Emma Okamura
lost only one match during the season and won 12

The Shorewood doubles teams were also dominant.
 
  • Number 1 sophomores Emma Nelson and Emma Okamura lost only one match and won 12, 
  • number 2 doubles Ava Lamb and freshman Mari Brittle undefeated, 
  • number 3 doubles junior Reese Johnson and sophomore Amelia Uran undefeated.

Before the start of the season Coach Moreno knew this would be a good team but did not know how good they were. The Shorewood girls team proved to everyone they were the best. Coach Moreno is extremely proud of the team's accomplishments and sportsmanship.

Shorewood hosts the WesCo South league tournament May 10, 11 and 12, 2022 with matches starting at 1pm each day. 

Each team in the South league will enter their top two singles players and doubles teams as they try to place in the top four to qualify for the following week's District 1 tournament at Snohomish. The District 1 tournament, May 17th and 18th is the first regional step of the WIAA State tournament.

The top four placers from District 1 qualify to play at the WIAA State tournament in Richland, Washington at Hanford High School May 27th and 28th
