The Saint Edward Seminary was built in 1930 and was bought in the 1970s by the Washington State Parks. The building has 90,000 square feet of space but needs an estimated $40 million of repairs. MATT PHELPS, Kenmore Reporter

� e redevelopment of downtown Bothell has been a huge undertaking. � e realignment of State Route 522, or the Crossroads proj-ect, shi� ed approximately 170,000 square feet of prop-erty into the downtown core for business develop-ment and designated all the land to the south for � e Park at Bothell Land-ing. � e addition of McMenamins, Boulevard Place and the Six Oaks project are all in di� erent stages of devel-opment.
But while there are so many new things coming into downtown Bothell, one iconic landmark might be returning.
“� ere used to be a sign that said ‘Welcome to Both-ell for a day or a lifetime,’” said Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb. “Kids or someone
would always cross out the [letters] B, O and T so it said ‘Welcome to hell’ but everyone knew the sign.”
� at iconic landmark might be making a come-back. Bothell city sta� is discussing the idea of plac-ing a replica in the Park at Bothell Landing sometime in the future.
“At some point someone from the Washington
State DOT (Depart-ment of Transporta-tion) got rid of it,” said Bothell City
Manager Bob Stowe. “We want to bring it
back.”Stowe said that city sta�
is unsure of the exact loca-tion of the sign within the park and whether drivers will be able to see it from SR-522, as they are in the preliminary stages of dis-cussing the idea.
And while the sign is not a sure thing yet, the realign-ment of SR-522 is moving
Iconic Bothell sign might be making a comeback among redevelopments

State Parks looks to lease iconic Seminary
NORTHSHOREFUTURE
BY MATT PHELPS
Saint Edward Seminary in Kenmore stands like a regal beacon at
the center of Saint Edward State Park. One of the most monolithic structures in the Northshore area, it is clad in brick with timeless architec-ture.
It is also a casualty of the Washington State Parks fund-ing gap.
In recent years, Parks
o� cials have attempted to raise more money to meet their budget through various means, such as implement-ing the Discover Pass. State funding has nearly dried up and o� cials continue to try � nding new and creative revenue sources.
For many of the Parks’ 770 buildings, funding has come from unlikely sources. Leasing the buildings to col-leges and businesses has been a popular way to save the structures from deterioration.
But the seminary is still out in the cold with an immense 90,000-square-feet of space and a growing list of repairs and maintenance.
“We are trying to � nd a way to take care of it,” said Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission Public A� airs Director Vir-ginia Painter. “We are always interested in what we can do to take care of the building, and the space available could be appropriate for o� ce space.”
She added that a lease “seems like a natural thing.”
Parks o� cials have had discussions with many busi-nesses and organizations in recent years about leasing the building.
“We haven’t received a written inquiry but verbal interest,” said Painter. “� ey usually want to know how much space is available. We have been at it a long time.”
None has come as close as a client of real estate broker

planned to make that deci-sion if his application was accepted.
“I am mostly interested in small seedlings,” Bures said. “I want to make it commercially viable; I hope to treat this as a side busi-ness, a way to make a little extra money.”
Bures got the idea to try growing marijuana from a small garden he created in his backyard.
“I planted a few tomato seeds and got to watch them grow,” he said. “It’s al-ways fun to try new things.”
Milke Al of Awe-some Green says despite listing his home address in his application for a marijuana retail license, he would be selling marijuana at a build-ing in Seattle.
“I have many businesses and thought this would be a great new business,” Al said. “� ere are so many people applying for licenses though, so I am not com-pletely hopeful mine will be accepted.”
City of Bothell attorney Joe Beck said for the city to review the applications, they need to know the exact location of the proposed business.
“Given the bu� er require-ment, I have a hard time imagining a scenario where the state could review and/or approve a license without that information,” Beck said. “Without the exact lo-cation information the city will object to any license being issued by the state and ask that it be denied.”
Beck stated the city looks
at marijuana applications with the same zoning rules they do for any other busi-ness.
“We haven’t enacted or made any new changes speci� cally for marijuana businesses,” he said. “We have reviewed � ve applica-tions so far and none that we’ve seen are in a properly zoned station or if they are, they are constrained by the bu� ers established by Initiative 502.”
� ere have been no ap-plications for marijuana producers or processors � led within the Kenmore
City limits, thus far.� e marijuana
law, approved by voters in Novem-ber 2012, does not specify whether the
grow farms must be indoors, or if farmland
could be plowed over and marijuana seeds planted. � e only requirement is marijuana be grown in-state, in a secure location at least 1,000 feet from a school, park, transit center or child-care facility.
Other Washington State Liquor Control Board rules include an outlaw on home occupational marijuana businesses, a limit on retail advertisements to about 11-square feet, licenses will not be issued to people with extensive criminal backgrounds, marijuana may not be consumed on the premises and businesses must operate between 8 a.m. and 12 a.m. Stores and manufacturing o� ces need alarms, surveillance cam-eras and liability insurance, as well.
Liquor Control Board
Communications spokes-person Mikhail Carpenter said applicants don’t need to have the exact location secured before applying, but should have the desired address in place and be in discussion with a land-lord about purchasing the property. People can go in and make changes to their applications at any time.
� e Liquor Control Board says it has received 1,696 applications state wide from people seeking permission to grow, process or sell cannabis under the new recreational marijuana law. Of the applications received so far, 794 are for growing licenses, 579 are for processing licenses and 323 are for retailing licens-es. � e state isn’t capping the number of growers or processors, but says it will only allow 334 pot shops statewide. � e application window opened Nov. 18 and will close on Dec. 20.
According to Bothell city o� cials, no other applicants have � led thus far.
� e Liquor Control Board will accept public comment on the proposed licenses and comments should include the trade name, license number and address of the busi-ness (available at www.liq.wa.gov/records/frequently-requested-lists) and can be sent to Washington State Liquor Control Board, Li-censing and Regulation, PO Box 43098, Olympia, WA 98504-3098.

When 11-year-old Chance Hamp-ton saw a “lost dog” sign posted in his local neighborhood in
Bothell last April, he decided to do some-thing about it.
� at’s how the “I Lost My Dog – Bothell” Facebook page was born. Chance said he wanted to do something for the people in his community to make it easier for them to “� nd their dogs, or help someone else’s dog � nd its way home.”
Chance’s parents, Kelly and Jason, fully supported Chance’s idea.
“I thought it was a great idea and I wanted to encourage him to do this. It’s good for him and good for the community,” Kelly said.
Chance and his parents decided that a Facebook page would be the best way to get the word out to people since it’s more community-oriented. He said that the information on his page is gathered from a combination of people posting on the page and other sources, like the local animal
shelter.“We sometimes look on Craigslist and
around the neighborhood, � nding signs and stu� ,” Chance said. “We take a picture and type up the information and post it on the site.”
If someone posts their own information or picture about a lost or found dog on the Facebook page, Chance said that he reposts the information and/or picture so that more people will see it.
To inform people about the Facebook page, Chance and his parents went around their neighborhood passing out � iers with directions explaining how to � nd and like the page. Some people even o� ered to help pass out � iers in their own neighborhoods.
“I also got some business cards, and I go to shops and ask if I can put the cards in the shop,” Chance said.
It’s a lot of work, but Chance said it’s pretty easy to handle running the Facebook page with the help of his parents.
“I realized people were surprised that I was 11 and doing this,” he said.
A dog, Spartan, was recently reunited with its family because of Chance’s page.
� e post about Spartan missing was seen by 12,568 people and shared 360 times.
� e page, to date, has 569 likes. People who have liked the page can see the posts and share them to spread the word to more people. Chance recalled a post about a lost chocolate lab named Maddy.
“It got over 11,000 views, just on that one dog,” he said.
Jason said that during the summer, Chance wanted to do a Humane Society camp. It was full, but when they found out about Chance’s Facebook page, they made an exception. Jason said this is a good les-son for Chance.
“Sometimes, if you work really hard, you’ll get opportunities that you may not have gotten otherwise,” he said. “In other words, hard work pays o� .”
Chance hopes to continue running the Facebook page for as long as possible, and to continue increasing his audience with more likes.
“At � rst, my goal was to get 500 likes, and now I’m at 569,” he said. “My new goal is to get 1,000.”

I was overjoyed when the sta� of the Bothell/Kenmore Reporter contacted me with the idea of tracking my progress on Christmas
Eve. Being in my position, it is di� cult to let people know where I am going. It is extremely important because air tra� c controllers are the only ones that can see my sleigh. Plus, Twitter is so impersonal.
It is not a very well known fact, but I am not able to use the ‘spirit’ of Christmas to get down chimneys without kids being asleep � rst.
It is imperative I get this information to families so that kids are asleep when I get to their house. Letting you, the children, know when I will arrive is very important. Most kids under-stand that they must be in bed and asleep in order for me to drop o� the goodies and see their beautiful tree. I do get a few inquisitive tykes that try to stay up and hear my sleigh bells ring but it just delays the inevitable.
Since most kids have access to a computer now, websites are normally the best way to keep in touch. I am not always the best for Facebook or even keeping up with my email, but the elves are able to keep things moving on the Internet. I will call in to Reporter sta� at 2, 4, 6 and 8 p.m. and they will let you know how my trip is going at www.bothell-reporter.com. � e � nal post will not tell you exactly when I will arrive at your house because there are an awful lot of houses in Washington state. It will give you a sense of how the trip is going and prepare you for a nice rest.
Oh, I always enjoy visiting Bothell and Kenmore and Washington, it is one of my favorite places to visit, even when I am not “working.” My “busi-
ness” is more of a labor of love than a job. But Mrs. Claus and I do enjoy Tahiti on January 3.
We were told that the weather for the trip to Both-ell and Kenmore on Christ-mas Eve won’t be as good as last year. Landing in the snow is always easier for my reindeer and sleigh. Having snow on Christmas is nice but the holiday is not about snow or presents, it is about being with your family. But presents are nice too.
� e elves have done an outstanding job this year of gathering all the letters, making toys and being in contact with toy companies from around the world. I still enjoy a good wooden train but I can understand the lure of Furby, So� a Doll or a video game. I just love toy testing.
My wife and I really enjoyed our trip to Bothell and Kenmore and the tree lighting ceremony.
Mrs. Claus and I really appreciated the opportu-nity to take some pictures with all the children and adults who came out to visit. I have made many visits to your area in the past month. I love being able to speak with all the children prior to my visit on Christmas Eve. It gives me a chance to � nd out what you might want for Christmas and see how much you have grown. Of course, we were also able to stop by Macy’s and get some Frangos, which always makes Blitzen happy.
For the most part, Bothell and Kenmore chil-dren have been good this year. � ere are some on the naughty list, but I am informed that the load of coal is down from last year, which is always a good sign. Homework and chores have been pretty good overall but we must remember to listen to our parents and try to help others.
I hope you enjoy the updates of my trip to Bothell and Kenmore and are able to spend a lot of time with family next week. Being with the ones you love is what the holiday season is all about, and maybe a few presents mixed in. Oh yeah, I want to say thank you in advance for the cookies and milk and the reindeer always enjoy the carrots. Have a Merry Christmas.
Sincerely, Mr. C
Kids, come see when Santa will be in Northshore
Foggy Noggin article distasteful
I found your Dec. 6 article about the Foggy Nog-gin to be a little distasteful. � e Foggy Noggin is a very small business that is run out of a garage in a nice residential neighborhood where at least half of the surrounding neighbors have expressed concern about their activities.
Asking their customers to bring donated food items for Northwest Harvest is one thing, but to invite children to a beer tasting party to see Santa Claus is crossing the line. One of Foggy Noggin’s impaired customers nearly hit a disabled neighbor who was at their mail box, and then was heard laughing by a witness as they went by.
� e Foggy Noggin might as well hire Billy Bob � ornton who played in Bad Santa, because that’s about what it’s going to represent.

Get involved in
redevelopment, city is letting us down
With a full-time job, family and house in Bothell to take care of, it’s a challenge to � nd time to keep up with local government. � anks to the Reporter for making it easy to keep up with latest develop-ments.
� ere are two issues in the recent news that make me feel like the city council and sta� are let-ting the residents down. � e � rst, how can a new City Hall cost $42 million? Doesn’t this sound a bit expensive? Like, by a factor of 10. � e second, how could we let the McMenamins twist the pool deal around. I agree with Tris Samberg that the people of Bothell were led to believe the pool would be restored to its original function. Time to step up Bothell and set the McMenamins straight.Eric Nelson, Bothell
Revising history with Saint Edward Seminary
I am responding to the article about the State Parks and the St. Edward seminary, which ran in the Kenmore Reporter on Dec. 6. � e State Parks and Recreation Commission’s Virginia Painter is revising history with her statement that the McMenamins weren’t interested in pursuing the seminary. � e fact that McMenamins is open-ing a destination facility in Northshore dem-onstrates their desire to be located here. � ere were numerous hearings regarding the seminary location but it was vigorously opposed by a few bicyclists and play � eld advocates who sunk the McMenamins’ project because “drunk visitors would run over children” and the city bought into that argument.
� e seminary had wonderful stories to tell and there was no better way to do that than through a McMenamins’ lodging venue...the ghosts, the seminarians...so many stories. Kenmore could have been a destination. Instead, we continue to sit on the sidelines.Susan Gardner, Kenmore

The atmosphere at Canyon Park Ju-nior High has been
very different this week. “The energy at school
has been super positive,” said Ryan Moore, 14. “For the first time, many of us are stopping to talk to people we never talked to before and really ask them how they’re doing.”
Moore and his fel-low students in the leadership class created a kindness week called “Catch the Kindness Virus” in an effort to pro-mote positive treatment of each other and help school culture and safety. The students wrote plans for each teacher, showed a school-wide video for teachers to discuss in their classrooms and created morale-boosting activities at lunch for ev-eryone to feel included.
“The students here are really responding and we are abuzz or infected with kindness,” said Whitney Connors, leadership teacher. “They thought up
this movement and have really run with it.”
The students said an inspirational speaker named Houston Craft who came to the school this month gave them the idea for kindness week.
“He did a skit where he put on these glasses and then was able to see peoples’ struggles,” explained Drew Clark, 15. “It got us thinking that
maybe a lot of students were going through
some hard times that we didn’t know about.”
Discussing Craft’s performance
made the students real-ize they all had something in common.
“We have all felt bullied or picked on for some reason,” said Lauren Johnson, 15. “It’s usually not physical bullying, but verbal and that can really affect someone not only now, but in their future. If you say someone is ugly or needs to lose weight, that can cause them to have problems.”
The students didn’t want their message to be about bullying.
“Doing an anti-bullying campaign is sort of nega-tive,” said Olivia Sablan. “It tells students what not to do. We wanted to focus on the positive message of kindness where we told them ways they could express that.”
One example the lead-ership students gave on how to show kindness, was to talk to someone new.
“There are lots of stu-dents out there that are great people, but they are often alone because they are either shy or differ-ent,” Moore said. “We want to encourage each other to approach those people and to get to know their story.”
Leadership students created an exercise for each class to do where a student anonymously wrote down one thing they are proud of and one thing they struggle with. Their responses get placed on a white board for people to read. Some wrote down they were struggling with grades, others confessed they were being abused by a parent or relative.
“This really showed us that people are going through stuff all the time and often they don’t want to or can’t express their struggles,” Johnson said. “We hope this made people want to get to know each other and be there for each other.”
Connors said her lead-ership students ended up having an effect on their teachers as well.
“During this week, ev-ery second-period teacher has participated in the ac-
tivities that the kids have planned,” Connors said. “As the week has gone on, teachers have come running up to me to tell me the amazing connec-tions that they are having in class. This week is bridging the gap between students and teachers to form one cohesive com-munity at Canyon Park.”
The leadership stu-dents said they want to be responsible for creating a
chain reaction of kind-ness acts.
“We don’t want stu-dents to stop being kind to each other after this week is over,” Moore said. “We want to encourage each other to be kind all the time. We want to promote what we are doing so that maybe kids at other schools will hear about the kindness move-ment and want to take it to their school as well.”
Canyon Park Junior High’s student leaders put together a kindess week where they encouraged their classmates to be kind to one another through various activities. SARAH KEHOE, Bothell/Kenmore Reporter

The Bothell man who is accused of killing his estranged wife early last year will answer to a jury during a trial scheduled May 2, 2014.
The decision was made dur-ing Alan Justin Smith’s trial set-ting hearing was Dec. 13 Tuesday in Snohomish County Court.
Smith remains in the Snohomish County jail after plead-ing not guilty to murder charges. A judge ordered Smith’s bail to be set at $1 million during his arraignment on July 22 after prosecutors refiled first-degree murder charges in Snohomish County Superior Court on June 19.
Smith, 38, will have to come up with $100,000 to post a bond. His wife, Susann Smith, 37, was found brutally murdered on Feb. 12.
Alan Smith planned
the murder, researched how to clean up the crime scene and “savagely beat, cut and ultimately drowned” his estranged wife, wrote Deputy pros-ecutor Craig Matheson in
court documents.Despite the fact
that the murder weapon has not been identified, an autopsy states that Susann Smith could have been killed with the same type of rub-ber mallet identi-fied by a former girlfriend as being
owned by Alan Smith.Bothell Police detec-
tives utilized 15 search warrants to build the case against Alan Smith, in-cluding one to match his footprint to bloody ones found at the crime scene.
Alan Smith moved back into the home two months after the murder and was then arrested for the crime in June. He allegedly confessed to a friend “Yes, I did it to her,” court documents state.
Susann Smith was at-
tacked and beaten in the master bedroom of the home and dragged to the bathroom where she was found with water in her lungs, the documents
continue. Susann Smith had 22 separate head injuries according to the autopsy, including a fatal blow to the skull.

John Biddle, president of Brooks Biddle Auto-motive, said he and his coworkers decided Ness would be a great addition to their team.
“Even after Lloyd retired he would stop by the shop to say ‘hi’ and it just brightened everyone’s day,” Biddle said. “On the weekends we get busy and don’t have enough sales people, so our manager brought up the possibility of bringing in Lloyd to help us out. He is so pas-sionate about cars and so knowledgeable.”
Ness has sold at least
one car each day he’s worked.
“People just love him,” Biddle said. “He’s always helping others. He’s just an inspirational character for our city.”
During his career, Ness worked for at least three other new-car dealers in the Puget Sound area. He has a room in his home full of trophies for being the top selling salesman.
“I think I am success-ful because I have never tried to oversell anyone or misrepresent a car,” Ness said. “I tell it like it is.”
Ness recalls selling four convertibles in one day.
“I remember I had sold
three and then was sitting around waiting for cus-tomers to show up when I spotted a soldier standing across the street,” he said.
Ness motioned for the man to come over.
“I says, ‘Hey soldier, get over here I got some-thing for you,’” he said. “I showed him a new convertible we’d just got-ten in and he was sold; he wanted to take it out of that parking lot right then and there.”
Ness has noticed a big difference in customers that come to the dealer-ship now than in previous years.
“They come in with
computers on their phones and all this infor-mation about the car they think they want,” he said. “You have to be way more technical with customers now.”
In addition to working at Biddle, Ness volunteers at the Northshore Senior Center, working at the coffee shop, sweeping outside and doing other tasks as needed.
“I’ve seen him in action at 7 a.m. and I believe he is the most productive landscape worker they’ve got,” said his friend Ed Lincoln. “Even though he is in his 90’s, it is obvious he is not slowing down.”
Ness said he plans on staying active and helping out whenever he can.
“I live in a great com-
munity and believe it’s important to give back,” he said. “Volunteering keeps the world going.”

It is easy to forget about Bothell’s 104 year history with all the construction projects in the downtown core. At the heart of that history is Main Street and its many family-run shops and businesses.
A new mural on the façade of Bothell Main Street Antiques depicts the logging industry during the early days of the city and aims to take custom-ers back in time amidst the bulldozers and cranes just a few blocks away.
“Bothell has a strong and rich heritage,” said Linda Dorsey, who owns the business with her husband Tom. “� e city of Bothell is under new construction and it is im-portant to remember and appreciate the historical
downtown heart of Both-ell, where it all began.”
Lynn Logsdon, who owns the Logsdon Build-ing where the antique store is located, gave permission for the mural to be put up. She is also a long time Bothell resident.
“We talked with the building owner and she was very enthusiastic about it,” said Dorsey. “She thought it was a good idea for it to have to do with logging.”
� e 30-foot mural was created by the Dorsey’s son Ryan, who also grew up in Bothell and gradu-ated from Bothell High School.
“July through Novem-ber it was spread out in our front yard,” said Linda Dorsey. “We have had an overwhelming response.”
Ryan Dorsey painted the mural by hand.
“� e historical scene gives a vision of nearby hills depicting a good end to a hard day’s work,” Linda Dorsey wrote in an email to the Reporter. “Featured is a team of four horses and loggers that pulled a large wagon loaded with logs out of the woods, to be le� at the lumber mill. [It is] just another glimpse into our past, yet preserved on old Main Street, in the heart of downtown Bothell.”
� e Logsdon Building has a long and rich history of its own.
Dexter’s Cafe was the original business in the building from 1911-1918. Harry Given and Hugh Stevenson opened a meat market. Given was the sole owner by 1922 and around 20 years later Vern Keener expanded the original Dexter’s Cafe building to
open a meat market, deli, fruit and vegetable store.
In 1976, Max and Lynn Logsdon purchased the
Logsdon building and ran Logsdon Apparel and Hairstyling.

Brad Smith eyed the crowd, stretched his arms out, opened his hands and smiled.
He acknowledged the members of the Washington STEM board in front of him and likened them to an army, � ghting on the front lines to bring science, technology, engineering and math educa-tion to the forefront for all students.
“We have an opportu-nity, I believe, to become the � rst state in the country that gets computer science into every high school,” said Smith, Microso� ’s executive vice president and general counsel, Legal and Corporate A� airs. “(We need to) create the right kinds of incentives and provide training for teachers and let the word spread about the opportuni-ties that this will create.”
Smith, Gov. Jay Inslee and 2013 National Teacher of the Year Je� Charbonneau from Zillah High School were a handful of keynote speakers at Washington STEM’s sec-ond annual STEM Summit on Monday on Microso� ’s Redmond campus. More than 300 participants, which included educators, students, businesses and community
leaders, attended the summit.Washington STEM — a
nonpro� t launched in March 2011 — advocated success-fully for improvement in STEM education in 2013. � e Legislature passed, and Inslee signed into law, the comprehensive STEM educa-tion initiative, which includes creation of a STEM Educa-tion Innovation Alliance and a STEM Benchmark Report Card.
Inslee, who sat in on a question-and-answer session with McKinstry CEO Dean Allen, said his Christmas wish list includes companies providing mentoring and internships so that students will get excited about STEM-related � elds.
� e governor feels that one of “our greatest hid-den challenges” is getting students to recognize why STEM is important in their lives. To achieve this, there needs to be stellar instruction and curriculum and access to things like DNA sequenc-ing machines, which Seattle’s Cleveland High School stu-dents are working on thanks to a federal grant, Inslee said.
“I want to thank you for what you’re doing. It’s made a big impact. I think we’re moving the needle on this thing,” the governor told the
crowd. “I would ask all of you (business leaders) to look for ways to try to get your experience to share with a student somewhere, because it’s going to do great things to get them to follow you.”
But there’s more work to be done, Inslee added, including lowering the state high school dropout rate and helping high school gradu-ates � nancially to reach into the college realm to achieve their STEM dreams.
High school success
Ifrah Mohamed Abshir, Rainier Beach High School sophomore and keynote
speaker on Monday, said that taking a computer science class furthered her interest in the medical � eld. She’s dreamt of being a doctor since childhood and she’s taking large steps toward that goal.
“I want to become a doc-tor that uses technology and medicine,” she said following the keynote speeches. “You can create apps that can help you � nd a person’s tumors, you can create programs that help you get the medical his-tory of a person within one touch.”
Charbonneau said he teaches “the hard classes” — chemistry, physics and engineering — at Zillah, but
what he really strives to teach is con� dence.
“I started asking students what they wanted to learn about,” he said about what areas of those three classes were on the students’ minds.
� e Zillah students want-ed to learn about robotics, so Charbonneau got some kits and they started investigat-ing that area of engineering. Later, the teacher and some parents raised more than $25,000, bought 100 kits and o� ered them for free to any school in Washington that was up for delving into robotics.
“If you’re a kid, you should have access to STEM-related materials no matter where you are,” said Charbonneau, whose sixth annual Zillah Robot Challenge competi-tion will take place this Saturday with more than 300 students from 43 high schools.
“People say, ‘Oh OK, so you’re the robot teacher? You know how to teach (robot-ics)?’” he added. “I don’t have a clue. I don’t know how to program these things. Who the experts are are the students, and that’s the way it should be.”
The futureSmith said that Microso�
would be an ideal place for those STEM students to make their mark in their careers.
“� is place is, frankly, all about science, technology, engineering and math. I can tell you, you can’t be a lawyer here without really learning a lot about science, technology, engineering and math, so it runs throughout the DNA of every part of this company,” he said.
Added Abshir: “Know-ing that the governor and someone like Brad Smith think the same way I do and understand that children truly are the future, it gives me the extra motivation — I’m not alone.”
• Also at the summit, Washington STEM CEO Patrick D’Amelio announced the expansion of the orga-nization’s growing system of regional STEM Networks, which bring educators, com-munity leaders and STEM professionals together to help improve STEM learning and opportunities for students in their regions, especially students from low-income backgrounds and commu-nities of color. � e STEM networks are also aligned with local economic develop-ment e� orts.

Winter weather is expected this month and Northshore School District sta� want parents and students to be prepared for road conditions.
King County Road Ser-vice Division announced it will only plow or sand 10 percent of the county roads in a county-wide snow and ice event, which is a two-thirds reduction from a few years ago. Current county maps show there
will be plowing and sand-ing on the Woodinville/Duvall Road starting at 171st Ave. NE to Duvall Avondale Road and the Juanita/Woodinville Road, west of I-405.
� is reduction in road support will impact the ability of school district buses and families to transport children to and from school on inclement weather days. A district spokesperson says the
district will consider these factors when making a decision to start schools late or close schools.
For more informa-tion, families can access the 2010 Snow and Ice Bulletin. Parents can view bus-route information or contact the district Trans-portation Department at (425) 408-7900.
Parents are encouraged to update their contact information with their
child’s school if they have changed their phone numbers so the district can notify them in the event of a school delay, closure or emergency.
Families who do not want the interruption of an early morning or evening inclement weather call can opt out of receiving them by contacting the Com-munications Department at (425) 408-7670. � ey will still receive general
announcements and emer-gency phone calls.
� e decision to close schools or delay start times will be announced on most radio and television stations.

325 residential dwelling units can occur over two phases, although MainStreet currently plans on constructing ap-proximately 220 units between the two phases. Around 25 percent of the units will be a� ordable at 85 percent of King County median income. At least � ve of the units will be a� ordable at 50 percent of King County median income. MainStreet anticipates being under construction with phase one in the spring/summer of 2014.
Phase one development includes 138 dwelling units, four separate buildings ranging from three-to-� ve stories in height, consistent with allowable height in the downtown residential zone, 148 parking stalls, street frontage im-provements on 68th Ave. N.E. and N.E. 182nd St. and � rst class resident club-houses, � tness and bicycle facilities.
“In just � ve short months, the city and MainStreet went from a purchase and sale agreement to an approved site plan and development agreement,” said Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey. “In my career, I have never seen a project of this magnitude move so quickly and e� ciently.”
At that same Dec. 9 meeting, the city council approved an amendment to the purchase and sale agreement for the property. � e amendment adjusts the purchase price to ac-count for several o� -site improvements that MainStreet has agreed to construct, including full-width asphalt overlays, an upgraded pedestrian crossing on 68th Ave. NE, utility undergrounding on 68th Ave. NE and the construction of a new stairway on the adjacent south property. � e amend-ment also allows for one remaining contingency item to be resolved by March 2014.
During the � rst half of 2013, the city listed the Kenmore Village properties for sale and received 16 o� ers, includ-ing more than eight o� ers for the three acres of commer-cial property. � e city evaluated the various o� ers and in
June of 2013, members entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the Benaroya Company and Real Property Investors (BCC-RPI) for the lower, commercial portion of the Kenmore Village property. � e agreement included a 6-month due diligence period, during which BCC-RPI could evaluate the property and seek tenant interest in the property.
“Although we did see tenant interest in the property, in-cluding medical o� ce, we were not able to secure enough tenants during the due diligence period to justify purchas-ing the property,” said Mike McKernan of BCC-RPI. “We have enjoyed working with the city and wish them the best
as they continue in their e� orts toward the city’s downtown goals and vision.”
� e due diligence period has recently expired, and neither BCC-RPI nor the city has elected to extend the agreement or move forward to closing. While the city continues to stay in communication with BCC-RPI, the city also now has the ability to reach out to other potential buyers, including those that made o� ers on the property earlier this year.
“Our working relationship with BCC-RPI continues to be amicable, and our communication lines are open,” Karlinsey said. “We are appreciative of the work and due diligence that BCC-RPI has done on the property. � anks to their work, we know even more about the property and its market potential.”
Karlinsey and the real estate broker, Colliers Internation-al, Inc., will review its list of o� ers on the property received earlier this year and assess the interest level of one or more of those buyers. � e city will provide a verbal update and make recommendations for next steps to the council at a public meeting in January or the � rst part of February 2014.
“Given the strong buyer interest in the property that we saw earlier this year and the improvement of the overall economy, we remain very optimistic,” Baker said. “We con-tinue to hold fast to our goals for the downtown, including creating a sense of place and a signature ‘town green’ in Kenmore Village that will create a special public gathering place.”
� e development agreement and other documents are available for review on the city’s website at www.ken-morewa.gov/downtown. For questions, contact Associ-ate Planner Andrew Bauer at 425-398-8900 or [email protected].

King County government has been selected as a founding member of the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council (SPLC) – a new national non-pro� t estab-lished to advance best practices, measure-ment and recognition for organizational purchasing programs.
“� rough this partnership with the
private sector, we can help preserve our en-vironment while encouraging a diverse and sustainable economy,” said King County Executive Dow Constantine.
For nearly 25 years, King County government has worked to reduce the envi-ronmental impact of its purchases of goods and services. � roughout the years, the � eld has evolved from its initial focus on purchasing products with recycled content
to addressing the diverse en-
vironmental, economic and social impacts of products across their entire lifecycles.
“� e SPLC will bring guidance to those organizations that are starting a sustain-able purchasing program, and it will o� er leadership to those that want to expand their existing sustainable purchasing ef-forts,” said Karen Hamilton, manager of the King County Environmental Purchasing Program. Hamilton recently participated in the SPLC’s founding summit.
“As the complexity of environmental purchasing programs have increased, so too has the need for a national dialogue among all the players in the procurement arena,” said Wendy Keller, Procurement and Contract Services Manager for King County. “� e SPLC will facilitate this multi-stakeholder process.”
SPLC brings together leaders from government, industry, academia, standards organizations and non-government orga-nizations to provide community, guidance, and leadership for sustainable purchasing professionals. � e Council has also formed strategic partnerships to build on existing
tools and resources. By developing a system of guidance for best practices, measure-ment, and recognition that can be applied to a wide array of organizations, buyers can be much more strategic in their sustainable purchases of goods and services.
SPLC is patterned a� er the successful U.S. Green Building Council’s Leader-ship in Environmental Energy and Design (LEED) green building standards program. As a member of SPLC, King County will be able to in� uence the direction of the Coun-cil. In addition, King County is one of only four local jurisdictions in North America invited to be part of the SPLC Founders Circle, along with the cities of Portland, Ore., San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. � e organization will elect its board of directors in January.
