Totem Lake 405 ramps closer to being passed in OlympiaBY TJ MARTINELL
A statewide trans-portation pack-age passed by the
Senate Monday includes $75 million to construct interchange ramps at 132nd Ave Northeast in Kirkland’s Totem Lake neighborhood.
As of the Reporter’s
deadline on Wednesday morning, all of the trans-portation reform bills that the Senate passed have also been passed by the House, according to Kirkland In-tergovernmental Relations Manager Lorrie McKay. However, the House will need to pass two separate bills, one for bonds to fund transportation and the other for additive trans-
portation funding and ap-propriations that includes the interchange ramp project, for it to be included in the � nal transportation package.
Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett said they are optimistic that the final package will contain the ramp project as local rep-resentatives had indicated that inclusion is likely.
“That’s a great sign and pretty remarkable to where we started which was not being in the package at all,” he said.
Triplett attributed the project’s inclusion to the united effort by Kirk-land’s representatives in both the House and the Senate.
“The neat thing was our entire delegation was supportive,” he said. “All of them were very supportive of this, which
is one the reasons it hap-pened.”
According to Triplett, the proposed funding for the project as cur-rently written would have construction start around 2019.
“We’re actually very happy with that, because the transportation pack-age is a 25-year package,” he said. “The concern is that they’ll put it in but have it in 2030.”
The Washington State
Department of Transpor-tation (WSDOT) project, originally approved by the state in 2005 but post-poned and moved to the unfunded list, is consid-ered by both the city and businesses in Totem Lake as a vital update to Kirk-land’s infrastructure in anticipation of the Totem Lake Malls redevelop-ment project by Center-Cal Properties, among others.

Drug related thefts on the rise in Kirkland
BY TJ MARTINELL
� e recent spike in summer temperatures has brought with it a rise in the number of the� s and car prowls in Kirkland.
According to data provided by the Kirkland Police Department, during a two-week period in June there were 63 the� s, 58 vehicle prowls and 16 car the� s.
KPD Spokesperson Lt. Mike Mur-ray said the sudden uptick in prowls and the� s has had the department, along with other departments on the Eastside, putting addi-tional resources toward pre-venting future the� s while apprehending suspects.
“We’re getting nailed,” he said. “� ese car prowls are just crazy. Everyone’s see-ing them… we’re all kind of trying to � ght the same battle.”
While Murray attributed the increased the� s with the time of the year and the weather, he also said that the jump could be due
to new groups of thieves and prowlers entering the Eastside, as Kirkland is not the only city to su� er from the problem. According to Murray, the perpetrators are mostly drug addicts looking to get their daily � x.
“� ey get what they can to pawn stu� and get a few bucks,” he said. “A lot of time you don’t have to
pawn it. With craigslist, they sell valuables online.”
Heroin use has been on the rise in King County in
recent years. Ac-cording to a report
on drug trends from the University of
Washington’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Institute, her-oin-involved deaths totaled 156 in 2014, “their highest number since at least 1997 and a substantial increase since the lowest number recorded, 49, in 2009.”
On top of that, Wash-ington metropolitan areas made the national top 10 list for highest vehicle the� rates, according to the
50 thefts, 36 vehicle prowls in one week, KPD using all available resources

A Personal Call to ActionIn 1980, an African Amer-
ican woman sat on an old dilapidated couch, shaking, as tears flooded her eyes. Legs covered with bruises, terrified, she held her infant daughter, trying to comfort her. Nearby, her four year old was curled in a fetal po-sition, moaning softly. The floor was littered with a bro-ken lamp, patches of hair, torn clothing, and crushed cereal. All grim reminders of her husband’s violence a few minutes ago. He was a 7 ft. 2” tall minister.
She remembered him put-ting his face close, his fists tight, as he knocked her to the ground. Her belly tight-ened with pain, fear, and dread for what he would do next. He yelled, “You little whore! Don’t you know I’m head of the house, and you have to do what I tell you! If you ever try to leave me again, I’ll kill us all!”
Sometime later, she heard the sound of the front door slamming. Temporarily alone, she called a 24-hour Domestic Violence Hotline, and found connections to a network of advocates who provided the tools and re-sources she needed to be-come a survivor. Three very strong and brave African American senior women of faith were also always there to encourage and support her. The great combination of helpers was a key ingredi-ent in rediscovering her own voice, and learning that she deserved to be treated right.
I was that woman, and you too can make a difference in your own life, as well as others. We all have a respon-sibility to take action to end violence, so that no one has to suffer the pain of abuse ever again.
If you or someone you know needs help, find the domestic violence program in your community by visit-ing wscadv.org or calling the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY).
You can also make a differ-ence by raising money and awareness for domestic vio-lence prevention by register-ing for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org.

Italene Gaddis practices what she preaches when it comes to the songs she
sings. Last Friday Kirklanders at
the Aegis Center in the To-tem Lake neighborhood got the opportunity to listen to the 90-year-old Kentucky na-tive and Newcastle resident play one of the many songs she’s written over the years on the autoharp. First per-forming in her 60s, her song titles, “Dare to be Di� erent” and “If You Are Grateful” re� ect her perspective on life.
In addition to writing 300 songs and poems, she also has a published book of poetry, “From My Heart To Yours,” has her own YouTube channel, and e� orts have been made to get her on the Tonight Show.
Although she’s been performing since her 60s, Gaddis said she � rst started writing her own songs when she was 14 for her mother.
“I write what I write in about ten minutes,” she said. “It’s a feeling. Words are feel-ing. Sometimes i’m surprised at the ending of my songs. Sometimes I laugh right out loud.”
It was decades later - a� er she had married, worked a job in creative sales, raised two sons, and then moved up to the Seattle area to be with her eldest son a� er her husband of 40 years died - that she started to play them for others, though her sons encouraged her when they were kids.
“He (her son) said mommy you should share those,” Gaddis said. “When he was 16 he said, ‘You need to copyright those.’ From the start he was my fan.”
� ings � nally materialized a� er her sons bought her an autoharp at 61 and then convinced her to enter into a music contest that o� ered a recording contract.
“I thought ‘I’ll enter in and it’ll be the end of it,’” she said.
Instead, despite not know-
ing a note of music at the time, she won the prelimi-nary, semi-� nals, then the � nals by two points.
“I said to the recording people, I’m not a singer, I’m
a writer,” she said. “� e man looked at me and said, ‘Nei-ther is Willie Nelson a singer but look at what he did.’”
From that day forward, Gaddis has been perform-ing at retirement places and birthday parties. Now, she says she performs almost every day.
“� ey all make a good point,” she said. “I speak and sing to where people can understand my words… My mother taught me always choose the positive because everybody wins. Nobody chooses the negative because everybody loses, including you. And you don’t have to be smart to � gure it out.”
One of the appeals of her performances, she says, are the lyrics to her songs and the way she encourages people to pursue unful� lled dreams. One woman, she said, was inspired by Gaddis’ own life to become a chil-dren’s author a� er working in banking.
“I encourage them,” she said. “� at’s what I am about.
� at’s the only reason I do it. Next to love, that’s the great-est thing you can give them.”
Being di� erent is also another theme in her songs and life perspective.
“We were born di� erent for a reason,” she said. “� e world needs the di� erence. I believe that when you have a life, you use it and live it and try to make a di� erence in the world when you leave. To me, it’s a waste of time to do nothing. Life is for having fun.”
As for the attempts to get her on the Tonight Show, Gaddis said it would be nice, but she sees it as a way to reach more people. Gaddis is also quick to credit other people in her life, including her mother, for helping her.
“I couldn’t have done it without help from other people,” she said. “She (her mother) said give credit where credit is due. And we o� en don’t.
Despite recently turning 90, Gaddis isn’t letting old age slow her down one bit.
“I don’t believe in quitting until that man upstairs tells me it’s time,” she said. “And then I’ll � nd something else to do. I’ll write children’s books.”
Nor is she letting her age de� ne her.
“I’m not 90,” she said. “I’m Italene.”

Climate change is too serious for jokes
Roger Clark-Johnson calls our attention to the observation that the rate of global warm-ing, more speci� cally the global mean surface temperature, has slowed since 1998 as noted in the current IPCC report. Depending on the choice of the start of the decades, the rate for the current decade is almost one-half the rate for the previous decade, not zero.
But focusing on this statistic misleads for an additional, even more signi� cant reason. Of the extra solar radiation retained by the earth since 1970, 93 percent warmed the full ocean depth, 3 percent melted arctic sea ice, ice sheets and glaciers, 3 percent warmed the continents and 1 percent warmed the atmosphere, accord-ing to the IPCC report. So long as the carbon dioxide, and certain other air pollutants persist, excess solar radiative energy will continue to be trapped.
Examples of e� ects associated with extra en-ergy continuing to be absorbed by the oceans, ice, land and air include rising sea levels with inundation of low-lying coastal areas and dis-ruptions of the water cycle, all happening now.
If we only had to worry about the conse-quences of 1 percent of the amount of the excess energy we are getting, or if there wasn’t something we could do about it, then it might be useful to make jokes. But that is not where we are and there are things we can do to solve the problem.Gregory F. Smith, Kirkland
Kirkland police too busy to respond
On June 6, our home, located West of Market Street, was burglarized between 1-3 p.m., broad daylight. Most of our jewelry and electronics were taken during the burglary and our house was ransacked.
My son, who came home from school around 2:30 p.m., noticed that the front door was open. He entered the house, thinking that one of us had le� the door open. He quickly realized that his dog was missing and that the house was a mess and he called 911. � e dispatcher asked if anyone was still in the house and he said he didn’t know. � e dispatcher told my son to stay outside until the police arrived. � inking they would arrive, he waited and then � nally called 911 two more times. � irty-eight minutes a� er the initial call to 911, the Kirkland police ar-rived. � ey checked for � nger prints and asked us for an inventory of lost items. � e respond-ing o� cer said to make sure that all future communication went directly to him.
In a subsequent call to Kirkland police regarding the delayed 911 response, I was told that the police were “busy” responding to higher priority calls and that this was a “cold burglary” which became a lower priority. In reality, my son didn’t know if someone was in the house and we still aren’t sure why the dis-patcher determined that the house was empty. � e next day, one of our neighbors said that he had a video of a car going at a high speed up the alley in the a� ernoon of June 6. I contacted the responding o� cer multiple times via e-mail and phone calls during the next two days to tell him about the disc showing the car and no ef-fort was made to contact me. On June 9, I � nal-ly called the 911 non-emergency number and found out that the responding o� cer’s wife had a baby and no one from the Kirkland Police Department checked his unanswered telephone messages. During this call, I told the contacted o� cer about the tape and she said that I should review it to see if there was anything relevant
because they were “too busy.”I have � led a citizen complaint against the
Kirkland police for failure to follow their own communication protocol when someone is out of the o� ce and for the general slow response for 911. I guess they expected us to do the detective work as well, determining if the house was clear, � nding and reviewing the tape evi-dence and reporting the relevancy of the tape.
I have been told by the police that there are so many car prowls and burglaries in Kirkland that they are simply responding to the crimes a� er the fact. So we build a shiny new multi-million dollar police and justice building in Totem Lake, but we don’t have enough o� cers to respond to 911 calls.
I see Kirkland Police o� cers sitting on the roadside all over Kirkland, with engines idling, waiting to ticket drivers for speeding and other driving infractions, but when you really need their service, they are too busy. If you experi-ence a crime in Kirkland, don’t expect a quick response from the Kirkland police.Patrick Harris, Kirkland
Kirkland Police Department is excellent
In reference Patrick Harris’s letter on June 24 “Kirkland police to busy to respond, I have listened to Kirkland Police Department (KPD) operations for more than 2,000 hours on my police scanner. My impression of KPD is very positive.
KPD has excellent, experienced leadership at all levels. Supervisors make quick and accurate decisions about what’s the most important problems requiring immediate police response.
O� cer training is superb. O� cers clearly ad-here to the KPD Code of Ethics. � ey are very dedicated and brave, boldly walking into dan-gerous situations. � ey are always disciplined in their actions. On numerous occasions, including one in my immediate neighborhood, KPD’s rapid and full response caught burglars in the act.
� anks to KPD, Kirkland is the most unfriendliest city in this region towards DUI drivers... and that’s 24/7.
KPD has shown repeatedly the highest possi-ble regard for citizen safety. Many, many times, as police pursuit of a vehicle started to reach high speeds, a chase was terminated in regard for citizen safety. On countless occasions, KPD
quickly found missing children. � e same goes for missing (mentally challenged) adults.
KPD may not be perfect, but it is a � ne police department. I think we get more than our money’s worth from KPD, and I’d like to thank each KPD o� cer for keeping us safe.Kenn Kullberg, Kirkland
Leave Park Lane car free� e city of Kirkland is such a great down-
town area that is attracting some fantastic restaurants and other great businesses.
� e work done on Park Lane has been a great improvement to the downtown environ-ment, especially now that the work has been substantially completed. My wife and I had the pleasure of walking to our favorite restaurant on Park Lane and with our recent warm nights we sat outdoors to enjoy a nice meal. Not hav-ing cars driving and parking on the street and having it basically open for people enjoying the block is an absolute pleasure that reminded us of some of the people only blocks in Europe and other cities in the U.S.
Why not leave the street blocked to automo-bile tra� c, if not permanently, at least through the summer as a test.
People have learned to adjust not having that one block of Kirkland available to drive and park on. Let’s keep it car free.John Rangel, Kirkland
Media needs to focus more on those who protect our freedoms
I must say I am so proud that our supreme court made the decision to allow gay mar-riage to be legal in all 50 states. � at is truly a milestone. One thing that bothers me though it how the media is treating that decision as a priority over reasons we have such freedom in the � rst place.
It has become a viral thing for members of social media to have a rainbow e� ect covering their pro� le picture, and even the White House has a rainbow e� ect shining on the facade with lights.
Seems to me that the service members that die everyday for our freedom to even allow such a milestone is less o� en mentioned in the media.
We need to focus

National Insurance Crime Bureau’s (NICB) recent an-nual Hot Spots Report. The Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area jumped from 13th place in 2013 to eighth place, with an 11.8 percent increase in auto thefts and 20,268 vehicles stolen in 2014.
For the addicts, Murray said, Kirkland’s relatively af-fluent residential population offers them greater opportu-nities for higher priced mer-chandise, especially when the items are left in plain sight inside vehicles.
“We’re seeing a big spike in heroin use,” Murray said. “They found an area where people, even more so than in the past, are just leaving stuff in their car and making it easy… They’re finding good valuables in these vehicles, because almost all the cars are getting a window broken and its always a backpack or satchel, a laptop and cell-phone. They’re getting good stuff. And that is half the problem, they’ve really found a good area where people are just leaving stuff in their car so much they just keep com-ing back.”
At the moment Kirkland does not have a Pro-Act Team, which conducts investigations against repeat offenders. The team was dissolved in order to provide more patrol officers for the 2011 annexation, though Murray said they have one officer assigned to Bellevue’s team to work on cases that might involve suspects from Kirkland cases.
“By us having an officer for a month at a time it gives us the chance to work the Kirkland case and arrest some of the Kirkland folks,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll be able to keep doing that.”
So far the KPD has met with some success, having caught several car prowlers several weeks ago. According
to Murray, two were arrested during a traffic stop, where officers discovered they had stolen property in their car. But even then, he said, the arrests don’t necessarily put a halt to the thefts.
“Even though you arrest them, you book them, but they’re out quick,” he said. “If not, they’re out within a couple of days with a court date. They’ve got to get their drug fix, so they go back to prowling.”
Another issue for KPD is that the prowls and thefts tend to occur near Interstate 405, they are not confined to a single neighborhood.
“It’s everywhere,” Murray said. “We try to figure it out to see if there’s a pattern… our maps are just showing everywhere.”
For officers, it’s also dif-ficult to catch thieves and prowlers in the act, who can break into several cars within a few minutes and then leave the area. Unless there are witnesses, Murray said it is
difficult to pin suspects on a theft unless they are caught with the stolen property.
“Fortunately, we do get fingerprints and can do a case like that,” Murray said. “Sometimes a neighbor saw the person and we get on it and K9 track and locate them. It’s a difficult crime to solve and to roll up on when it’s occurring because it hap-pens so fast.”
One way car owners can protect their valuables is by placing them in the trunk or simply keeping them out of sight.
“If you’re walking down a street and peeking in cars and see nothing in a car, you’re just gonna walk past them because the next two will have a laptop or cellphone,” he said. “They (drivers) leave wallets and checkbooks, then you have the ID theft, especially if you get credit cards. They’ll head right to places to start buying stuff.”

Health reform is in motion, let’s keep it going
The Supreme Court rul-ing last week upholding tax subsidies in federally-fund-ed states that are a lifeline to low-income people was a victory for our country. In the King v. Burwell deci-sion, the Supreme Court recognizes that tax credits are one of the Afford-able Care Act (ACA)’s key
reforms and vital to the law as a whole.
Now, we should consider this lawsuit an inspiration to transform our health care system. As far as we’ve come, there is still more we can do. There are provi-sions laid out in the ACA designed to ensure the qual-ity of care we receive doesn’t depend on our income, race or what language we speak.
Like many managing a chronic health condition, I’ve struggled to afford care despite having health insur-ance through my employer. It’s a relief knowing I can’t be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition, yet still, living with diabetes has landed me with significant
medical bills, calls from debt collectors, and even legal action taken against me.
We must also build on the gains we have already made here in Washington to develop a health care system where no one is left out and everyone can make health care decisions without fear of falling into medical debt. A multi-year, grassroots movement has started to bring a truly universal health care system to our state. I’m part of the Health Care is a Human Right cam-paign (healthcareisarightwa.org) and I encourage others to get involved in their com-munities.
Health reform is in mo-
tion. Let’s keep that motion going and realize a health care system that works for all of us.Joselito Lopez, Kirkland
Ethanol legislation passed by Republicans
In a recent letter to this paper Mr. Roger Clarke-Johnson congratulated Lara Lewison for a well written editorial in one sentence, then corrected her in the second sentence for her inaccurate progressive ide-als she learned in school. If someone is wrong then a correction is appropriate to
set them on the true course. But when you argue the point make sure that you research your facts about progressive ideals.
Nothing illustrates the unintended (or intended) consequences of conserva-tive spin better than the ethanol lobby. Mr. Clarke-Johnson makes a bold statement in his letter to Ms. Lewison that the mandated use of ethanol from corn in our motor fuels is a liberal ideal gone wrong. To clarify, this legislation was spon-
sored by a House Republi-can from Texas, passed in both the House and Senate by overwhelming Republi-can majority votes in favor, and signed into law by a Re-publican president. Unless Republicans in the House and Senate in the year 2005 were liberal I think this proves the ethanol lobby be-ing squarely in the conser-vative pocket.Mike Jeffers, Kirkland

[ 405 from page 1]According to a joint state-ment from legislative trans-portation leaders on the revenue package agreement, it will include $8 million in funding for the 2017-2019 biennium, then $54 million in 2019-2021, followed by $13 million in 2021-2023. The $16.1 billion package is funded by an 11.9 cent gas tax increase and various fees. It allocates $8.8 bil-lion to state and local road projects, $1.4 billion to maintenance and preserva-
tion, and nearly $1 billion for multimodal projects.
Triplett has previously expressed the need for the interchange ramp for the Totem Lake area, when they will be facing traffic problems caused by new developments. CenterCal representatives, now calling the project The Village at Totem Lake, hope to have the development open by late 2017 or early 2018. Ac-cording to Planning Direc-tor Eric Shields, CenterCal will have a conceptual design conference with the
design review board on July 6. The city has actively lobbied local legislators rep-resenting the 45th District, as well as other state legisla-tors, to support the project, claiming conservatively that it will bring in $140 million in state tax revenue.
“This project couldn’t come at a better time for the Totem Lake area,” said Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell. “With redevelop-ment plans already un-derway to the Totem Lake Mall, the area is set to be transformed into a beauti-ful and modern shopping district.”
As Triplett and other city officials see it, the proj-ect is necessary to relieve traffic congestion, in part due to growth Kirkland has absorbed under the Growth Management Act in which urban centers such as Totem Lake are given higher priority for infrastructure investments. The city has spent $50 million in the last four years in the Totem Lake neighborhood, accord-ing to Triplett, and millions more will be spent under the current draft of their transportation master plan. Additionally, their rede-velopment agreement with the property owners for the Totem Lake Malls promises $15 million in public in-frastructure improvements under certain stipulations, along with up to $10 million in Totem Lake Park.

atmosphere they had in mind at the beginning.
“When I first came up with the idea of a parade I worked with the old city manager, Dave Ramsey, and he said, ‘You know it would be perfect if this was a funky old fashioned neighborhood parade,’” she said.
A follow-up meeting at the senior center, now the North Kirkland Community Cen-ter, yielded more than 100 people, according to Sweet. They not only provided vol-unteers necessary for the parade to take place, but also the ideas as to what kind of parade they wanted.
“People didn’t want it to be much more, they didn’t want a Se-attle style Seafair parade,” she said. “They wanted it to be something funky and real.”
In 2005, the celebration was incorporated in the city planning as part of the city’s centennial, which allowed the planners additional money.
“I was able to hire some more music and it was a pretty special year,” she said. “Music really makes the event and it’s really difficult and expensive to get bands.”
The preparation starts around April, where a committee of six, including Sweet, begin the logistical work, such as arranging for
the closure of the streets in downtown, as well as work-ing to get the vendors for the day’s festivities.
“We meet weekly and put it all together and fundraise like crazy,” she said. “And then we have it happen.”
And, of course, there’s the requisite fireworks.
“I got my fireworks people on speed dial and call them every year with how much money we’re willing to spend,” she said.
Although the fundraising has posed a problem over
the years, Penny said it’s improved thanks to
donations from local business such as the Lee Johnson family, which runs the Lee
Johnson Auto Group on 85th Street. According
to Sweet, Lee Johnson was a long-time supporter of the parade.
“Basically the parade is theirs,” Sweet said. “They make a large donation every year.”
The parade this year will include a 150-member marching band from a high school in Waconia, Minn. Leading it will be Kirkland Police Chief Eric Olson, who graduated from the same school.
The celebration will have a B-25 Mitchell - the plane used in Doolittle’s raid over Tokyo during World War II - fly over downtown at noon
coming in from Redmond. The parade will also include antique military vehicles, and a reception is planned for veterans at Heritage Hall.
“We are the biggest mili-tary presence,” said Sweet, who will ride along with other councilmembers in the parade. She said it helps celebrate Kirkland’s culture and tradition.
“There is nothing like driv-ing through that crowd,” she said. “It’s just the most amaz-ing feeling. It’s like your en-tire family is there and there is such a feeling of family. We’re just talking to people through the entire parade route. It’s friendly, it’s warm, it’s just Americana and it feels so right in Kirkland.”
Other Fourth of July activities include childrens’ bike decorations and face painting at 10 a.m. at Marina Park Pavilion. Food vendors will be available from 1-10:30 p.m., with live music start-ing at 5 p.m. The fireworks display will start at 10:15 p.m. Fireworks are prohibited in the city limits unless it is a properly permitted display.
The Lake Street Parking Lot will be closed from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Lakeshore Plaza Parking Lot will be closed to vehicles throughout the day.

Tolls increase on SR 520 bridge
Drivers who cross Lake Washington using the State Route 520 bridge are reminded that new toll rates went into effect on July 1.
The change reflects the rate increases approved by the Washington State Transportation Com-mission to ensure the bridge generates enough revenue to cover costs required in-law which include maintenance and op-erations of the bridge. Tolling is on track to raise $1.2 billion of the funding needed to build the replace-ment bridge currently under construction.
Tolls on the SR 520 Bridge will increase approximately 2.5 percent for all toll
rates. The current peak hour Good To Go! pass rate of $3.80 will in-crease to $3.90, and the peak hour Pay By Mail rate of $5.40 will rise to $5.55.
This is the fourth of four annual 2.5 percent rate increases for SR 520 planned through 2015. In July 2016, a more significant rate increase is expected. WSTC will begin its work to determine 2016 toll rates later this year. The com-
mission will monitor traffic and revenue data to ensure traffic flows are effectively managed and financial and legal obligations are met.
Good To Go! passes continue to be the most economical way for drivers to pay tolls on the SR 520 Bridge and other tolled highways. More information on the Good To Go! program can be found at good-togo.com.

Special to the Reporter
A pedestrian friendly and plaza-style Park Lane aims to become Kirkland’s communi-ty hub by creating a gathering place for upcoming summer events.
“� e community has fallen in love with the concept of having a street that is walk-able,” according to Barbie Collins Young, director of the Kirkland Downtown As-sociation. “Until they actually experienced it, they didn’t know how in love with it they were.”
Park Lane will host a
myriad of summer events this year, including an outdoor sculpture gallery and the Wednesday Market. � ere will also be a summer concert series, a car show, Summer-fest! and the Fourth of July celebration.
� e Kirkland Downtown Association is not a� liated with the city of Kirkland and is run completely by volunteers and donations. All events hosted by the as-sociation will be free to the community throughout the summer, Young said.
“We are going to have for the � rst time an outdoor sculpture gallery in Park
Lane,” said the city of Kirk-land Economic Development Manager Ellen Miller-Wolfe. “Every year, we are going to curate and choose about six pieces of art. � ey will be for sale with the proceeds going to the artists.”
She said that these art pieces will change from season to season.
“We needed to think about the street as a more � exible space,” Wolfe said.
Park Lane has no curbs or sidewalks, and this lends itself to closing it o� from tra� c for events. Pedestrians can comfortably walk from one side to the other without feeling like they are step-ping onto a street. It is one continuous plaza.
Park Lane is now “a place where we share the space instead of divide it,” said Christian Knight, the neigh-borhood services coordinator of Kirkland. “� e walking and driving surfaces are all on the same level.”
He sees Park Lane as the city’s living room, a place to eat, shop, relax and enjoy active leisure. Ultimately, it is the community’s gathering place.
Originally, the merchants along the street and the Kirk-land community wanted Park Lane to retain parking spaces, Young said. Now that they have experienced the street and the potential for festivals, markets and outdoor seating, she received support to keep the street closed to tra� c and parking, she continued.
Young sent out a Facebook survey to a closed group called Be Neighborly Kirk-land on June 1. � e majority of those polled wanted Park Lane to be closed to traf-� c and parking from June through September. During those months, it would be for pedestrian use only.
Young submitted the poll’s result to the Kirkland City Council to discuss. Closing the street to tra� c would mean losing some parking. � ere are about 17 parking spots in the redesigned Park Lane, Knight said.
Wolfe and Knight both said that the city is conduct-ing studies to � nd all available space for parking. Wolfe is working on a project that will provide more moorage for boaters so visitors can come by Lake Washington. Other possibilities include providing shuttles or bike rentals in the future, according to Wolfe.
“Hopefully there are a number of ways of getting here,” she said, “and it is not just about parking.”
“We are keeping the quaintness. We’re keeping the community feel and small town atmosphere,” Young said.

Soccer team advances to nationals
Kirkland- and Redmond-based Cross� re Select Girls U-16 McLaughlin will advance to nationals a� er defeating reigning national champions, Utah’s Crush Blue, at the US Youth Soccer Region IV Presidents Cup tournament last week.
Having won the Wash-ington State Presidents Cup in May, the Cross� re team moved forward to compete against Region IV’s other Girls U-16 state champion-ship teams for the regional title. � e � ve-day tourna-ment, held in Snohomish June 10-14, featured a total of 120 teams from 14 states.
� e Cross� re Select team advanced to the knock-out stage by defeating teams from California-North and Hawaii, and tying the Colo-rado team. In the quarter- and semi-� nals, the team won tense matches against Utah’s Rampage Black SC and Nevada’s FC War-riors Blue, with goalkeeper Natayah Bauer preserving the semi-� nal win with a memorable late save. In the � nal, Cross� re’s Haimanot Hansen and Crush’s Katelyn Allen scored within three minutes of each other in the � rst half. Carlee Betterman’s 75th minute goal broke a 1-1 tie, and ultimately allowed Cross� re Select to dethrone the defending Region IV and National Presidents Cup champions, Crush Blue. Bet-terman’s goal was the latest of three consecutive second half game-winners for Cross� re. Molly McLaughlin was the team’s high scorer in the tournament, with four goals over six games.
Cross� re Select Girls U-16 McLaughlin will compete for the National Presidents Cup championship, July 9-12 in Overland Park, Kansas against the three other regional champions from Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and Missouri.
Members of the team from Kirkland are Coach Margaret McLaughlin, As-sistant Coach Lynn Glenn, Bailey Arnold, Natayah Bauer, Carlee Bettermann, Haimanot Hansen, Saman-tha Kramer, Molly McLaugh-lin, Megan McLaughlin, Angela No� singer, MacK-enna � ompson, and Natalie Vetto; team members from Redmond are Assistant Coach Siobhan Whitney, Galit Hara-Salzberg, Ellen Hilburn, Abby Linnenkohl,
Kiley Whitney, and Maya Wohl; team members from Sammamish are Mira Arsova and Samantha Pegnam; team members from Bellevue are Jaclyn Erickson and Emily Vu; Natalie Mifsud is from Woodinville and Mallica Cary is from Mercer Island.
