Growth and failed bond measures fuel school board racesBY TJ MARTINELL
Massive student population growth and last
year’s failed bond measures are playing a large role in the Lake Washington School District Board of Directors race that features two challengers from a district task force.
Challenger Eric Laliberte is running against long-time incumbent Jackie Pendergrass representing District 1, while Rob Tep-per is challenging District 2 incumbent Christopher Carlson. Incumbent Siri Bliesner, representing District 5, is running unop-posed.
Pendergrass, serving her � � h term on the board, said that her focus has been ensuring that there are a wide range of programs available for students, as well as choice schools with smaller classroom sizes.
“In my 20 years on the board we’ve [started] a lot of…programs in individual schools, we have choices schools that are smaller and meet some students’ needs,” she said. “I’ve championed for those. While I think we’ve done a good job, there are probably others we aren’t reaching, and I’m looking to see how can we reach them.”
Last year’s failed bond measure would have raised $750 million. It garnered a majority voter approval, but failed to get the required 60 percent to pass. At the same time, the school district has been the fastest-growing district in King County during the past several years. Following the bond measure’s failure, the district has repurposed funds to make better use of existing facilities and redrawn district boundaries in order to accommodate
the student population, the latter of which initially drew criticism from certain communities.
Pendergrass said the supermajority, needed to pass the bond, means the district has to have better outreach.
“I think we learned from our bond failures. � e tough thing is reaching 60 percent of voters when you have a lot of people in the community who don’t have kids in schools,” she said. “Voters have to understand the need and the costs and what would be the best thing to do… it’s working to really educate our voters. It would have been easier if it didn’t cost [so much], and when we surveyed a� erwards that was one of the main reasons people put no. � ey didn’t want to pay more. And at a time, that was kind of the tendency [of voters], not just with us.”
As for student growth, Pendergrass said that she believes the solution can be found in working with the community, as well as the district.
“I still enjoy being a board member,” she said. “It’s interesting. I work with good people. It’s a good school district.”
Laliberte said one of the reasons he has decided to enter the race is because he and his wife plan to start a family and wants the cur-rent problems dealt with before they get there.
“By the time my kids are in the district, I’d like to have [the district] on the turn of getting � xed,” he said.
A member of the Long Term Facilities Task Force, he said that his involvement on the committee has made it clear that new leadership at a district level is needed.
“I feel like there is the

Hamilton named interim police chiefBY TJ MARTINELL
Kirkland Police Capt. Bill Hamilton, a 25-year veteran with the department, has assumed the position of interim police chief follow-ing the retirement of former police chief Eric Olsen.
Hamilton will serve as interim chief for six months,
the time City Manager Kurt Triplett estimates it will take the city to � ll the position. Hamilton will be working alongside other o� cers on the Police Strategic Plan, which will serve as a guide for the city and the depart-ment, much as the Fire
Strategic Plan does for the Fire Department.
“Captain Hamilton has a long history of dedication to the department and the community,”
Triplett said in a statement. “As the
senior captain, he will provide continuity and
stability as the search to � nd a permanent chief begins.”
First starting out as a police o� cer in New Jersey, Hamilton joined the Kirkland Police Department (KPD) in 1990 a� er visiting relatives. Unhappy with his department at the time, where he said there was a

With the redevelopment of Kirkland Parkplace comes a new name that the owners believe better re� ects the experience residents and shoppers will have there.
Talon Private Capital, which is currently working with the city of Kirkland’s Design Review Board (DRB) on the concep-tual design, has renamed the planned mixed-use property “Kirkland Urban,” with the retail section of the development called
“� e Marketplace at Kirk-land Urban.” � ey have yet to decide on a name for the residential section.
Principal Owner Jim Neal said that they settled on the name a� er submit-ting a new master plan to the city last October once they realized it needed to have a separate brand to represent.
“It’s a completely new development for the city of Kirkland,” he said. “It’s going to be the most urban development in the city, and we want to make sure everyone recognizes that.”
During their next meet-
ing with the DRB this month, Talon will hash out more of the speci� cs for the site, where work
is already being done in anticipation of Phase 1. � e phase will include
Parkplace redevelopment to be called Kirkland Urban

Despite an inves-tigation by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC), the owner of the
Potala Village project in the Lakeview neighbor-hood are still looking to move forward with their design plans.
According to city of Kirkland Senior Planner
Angela Ruggerri, Potala had a conference with the Design Review Board (DRB) scheduled for Oct. 16 but have asked for it to be pushed back to Nov. 16. Potala had its first
conceptual design confer-ence in March.
Lobsang Dargey, Po-tala’s owner, is being sued in federal court by the SEC for allegedly raising more than $125 million through sales of securities to at least 250 investors for Path America and the Potala Place develop-ment in Everett. The SEC recently filed a motion to appoint a receiver, Michael A. Grassmueck of the Grassmueck Group,
over Pota-la Village Kirkland and other LLCs owned by Dargey, to “ensure that their remaining assets are
not dissipated or unneces-sarily subject to loss in value during the penden-cy of this litigation.”
“A receiver is necessary because it is imperative that a person other than Dargey make an in-formed decision about the projects that were begun with investor money and whether they can and should be completed as originally described,” the Sept. 22 motion states.
The SEC complaint alleges that Dargey and Path America used the EB-5 system, which allows foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in a project that gener-ates or preserves at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers to qualify for residency in the United States, to raise money from Chinese investors by encourag-ing them to invest in Potala Place and Potala Tower. However, instead he allegedly misappropri-ated $17.6 million, $14.7 million involving Potala Shoreline LLC and Potala Village Kirkland LLC, which are not eligible for the EB-5 visa program.
Unless Dargey pulls out of the design review phase altogether, how-ever, the legal complaints won’t affect the design review process. The proposed project would be a 138,434-square-foot, three-story building that would include approxi-mately 7,000 square feet of ground floor retail space on the north and south corners of the building, as well as 58 residential units on the second and third floor.

the demolition of 505 Park-place Center where Todd’s Crab Cracker is located and the building across from the QFC, where an underground parking lot will be installed. Businesses will be moving out by Dec. 1, and some have already either closed or made the move to a new location. � ree new buildings will then be constructed, two o� ce and one residential featuring 190 apartment units. Each business will have their own storefront and, excluding the restaurants, the spaces range from 800-10,000 square feet. � e underground parking lot will have 1,650 stalls, which Neal and Investment Direc-tor Bill Leedom said allows for more open space on the property than included in the original master plan.
Talon expects the � rst phase to be completed by No-vember 2018, at which point the next phase will begin as soon as businesses such as the QFC enter the newly-built of-� ce buildings. � e Park Place Center building will remain with a marketing o� ce inside through the � rst phase and be demolished as part of the � nal phase, which is expected to last around 14 months.
With Phase 1 expected to begin early next year, Neal and Leedom said any impact on the local roads will be mitigated through a tra� c management plan worked out with the city. Among other things, the plan will stipulate how many trucks will be allowed per hour and during what hours of the day. Neal and Leedom added that
the trucks will only go north on Central Way to reach Interstate 405 and will not go through downtown, and any concrete pouring will take place during the weekends.
Once the entire project is completed, one of the buildings will include a 37,000-square-foot, eight-screen movie theater with residential units above. Kirkland Urban will also be divided into a park level, which is evenly grounded to the adjacent Peter Kirk Park, and the plaza level located above. A woonerf or “walk-ing street,” similar to that on Park Lane, will run through the development. Among the amenities o� ered, once the redevelopment is � nished, includes a 14,000-square-foot daycare center for 175 kids with an outdoor play area and a full service health club. � e residential sections of Kirkland Urban will include townhouse-style units with access to roof decks, club rooms and bike storage, among other amenities.
Neal and Leedom stated that while no business has signed a lease yet, they expect to have an announcement in several weeks and have been approached by Seattle-based businesses looking to expand on the Eastside. � ey also have verbal agreements with two current businesses at Parkplace.

KAN conducting parking survey
� e Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN) is asking for residents’ help to gather information about parking in di� erent neighborhoods within Kirkland.
KAN is performing a survey of all neighbor-hoods in Kirkland to identify parking use, issues and/or problems,
particularly issues that may arise with vehicles from outside neighbor-hoods. � is information will help identify the causes and impacts of parking issues through-out the city and will be provided to the City Council. Depending upon what we learn from this survey, there will likely be a followup survey about solutions to issues that are identi� ed in this initial survey.
� e goal is to recom-mend a citywide policy addressing parking within residential neighbor-hoods.
To take the survey go to https://www.surveymon-key.com/r/KAN_Park1
� e survey will remain open for two weeks. KAN will have the results on its agenda at its Nov. 11 meeting.

City asking too much with Prop. 1
I think proponents of Prop. 1 understate or don’t understand the impact of approving Prop. 1.
A “yes” vote gives authority to the city to tax property at the rate of 75 cents per $1,000. � is is not a vote about giving authority to tax property at just 25 cents per $1,000. Prop. 1 proponents use the word “expected” tax of 25 cents because that’s what politicians have told them they’ll do - but that’s quite di� erent from what Kirkland voters are really being asked to do.
We are being asked to grant authority to the city to tax property at a rate of 75 cents per $1,000.Kenneth Kullberg, Kirkland
Kirkland City Council’s deception and Proposition 1
� e City Council is engaging in trickery on Proposition 1 without full disclosure to Kirkland residents.
� e Washington constitution speci� cally protects taxpayers by requiring tax bonds to be approved by at least 60 percent of the voters. How-ever, cities have the power to issue bonds to pay for a variety of projects, including buildings like an aquatic center, without having to put it to a vote of the citizens if there is already a revenue source in place to pay back the debt. Creation of a Metropoli-tan Park District only requires approval of just over 50 percent of the citizens. Once created, a Metro-politan Park District has the authority to levy a tax of up to 75 cents per $1,000 of assessed value of real and personal property without having to submit it to voters for approval.
� e Kirkland City Council has found a clever way to dodge the 60 percent approval requirement of a bond levy.
If it can sell just over 50 percent of Kirkland vot-ers on its proposed new Metropolitan Park District, then it can establish a revenue source – at a rate of up to 75 cents per $1,000 – and issue bonds without having to convince 60 percent of the voters to approve them.
What’s wrong with that if Kirkland residents want an ARC and the city has decided this is the best way to fund it? It is a permanent end run around the Washington state constitutional requirement that bonds be approved by 60 percent of the voters. It deprives the citizens of Kirkland of their voice in determining what is a reasonable project and appropriate related cost. Furthermore, it provides the city with an ongoing revenue source that allows the City Council to issue bonds to cover nearly any other park project of its choosing with-out obtaining voter approval.
Keep your voice – vote “no” on Proposition 1.Nicole MacKenzie, Kirkland
Claudia Balducci for King County Council
I am a lifelong Eastsider - born on Mercer Island, had my � rst job with the Eastside Journal in Kirkland, raised my children on Somerset, and now live in downtown Bellevue. � e Eastside has changed considerably in six decades. During my 40 plus years in politics, media and government, I’ve seen lots of changes there, too. What the Eastside deserves now and has an opportunity to get is a representative in King County Council’s 6th Dis-trict who grasps those changes and will champion Eastsiders and their future.
I have worked with both candidates while in the King County executive’s o� ce. At King County, Claudia Balducci served as the jail director and architect of a well-planned juvenile detention facility. She knows how King County works and will make it work for us. � is, coupled with her
experience as Bellevue’s collaborative mayor, shows us what strong leadership looks like, getting the tough things hammered out, like Sound Transit and responsible budgets.
Her connection to and understanding of the growing diverse Eastside is unsurpassed. Both women have served the community, but for our future, we need Claudia Balducci’s energy, abilities, enthusiasm, credibility and can-do attitude on the King County Council. It’s time for leadership. It’s time for a change.Elaine Kraft, Bellevue
Prop. 1 is a bad idea, ARC is good
� e Kirkland City Council wants us to approve a new taxing authority to pay for the ARC [Aquat-ics and Recreation Center]. Just a few years ago in 2012, they passed a recreation and road tax to cover their previous budget mismanagement mis-takes at a time when their adopted budget showed there was enough money in the budget. More taxes were unnecessary.
Now we’re being asked to pay taxes on top of taxes, a double jeopardy of tax increases in a short period of time. � ey ignored the mandated six year capital improvement budget they adopted in 2012.
� ere’s a better way to � nance the ARC without taxpayers having to pay double on what they’re already paying. � e ARC is good. It can be done without Prop 1.
Times are tough. Consider this: Next year, Social Security and Medicare payments will see double digit in� ation, much more than our COLA in-crease of two percent or less. � e Kirkland Council has increased their cost at an annual rate of 11 percent. � e Fed’s are doing the same.
Prop. 1 will create new a new unnecessary taxing authority that does not consider the reduction of taxpayers ability to

Fines are mounting against the state for not having a plan to ensure public schools are adequately funded.
When Gov. Jay Inslee meets with Democratic and Republican lawmakers on the matter � urs-day, it will be 43 days since the Supreme Court imposed its sanction.
At $100,000-a-day, that’s $4.3 million. Ka-ching!
To recap, under the Mc-Cleary decision, lawmakers have until 2018 to � nd a way for the state to cover the tab of a basic education for students.
� ey’ve earmarked billions of additional dollars in the budget for classroom supplies, all-day kindergarten and buses. But school districts still rely too heavily on local property tax dollars to operate and pay their teachers, principals and sta� . � e court wants such dependence to end.
� e chasm between the Democrat-controlled House and Republican-run Senate on the best way to do that could not be bridged in this year’s record-setting 176 days of session. So another hour of talking in a SeaTac hotel � ursday won’t
achieve an accord either.However, it may reveal how deeply individual
lawmakers and the governor are digging in on their positions ahead of the 2016 session and ensuing election season when most of them, including Inslee, will be on the ballot and could face this issue.
Democrats think the best way to break districts’ addiction to levies is with injections of dollars from a new capital gains tax. Republicans counter it would be better to make a swap – give districts more from the pot of state property tax
collections and direct them to seek less locally.Passing a new tax or swapping levies is a com-
plicated and formidable political task.It’s taken 43 days to get the conversation going
again. It could be another 100 days or maybe 400 before they � gure something out.
� at would add up to some serious Ka-ching!

Taxpayers should consider Councilmember [Dave]Asher’s comments. Prop. 1 is a bad idea and doesn’t take into consideration what we are already paying taxes for.Robert L. Style, Kirkland
Sad to see Nykreim against the ARC
It is sad to see that Mike Nykreim, our local Tim Eyman, is leading the charge against the Aquatic Resource Center (ARC). As a local developer, he has profited handily from the quality of our community, whether community resources (like the ARC would be) or the high quality public schools. So it is unconscionable that after successfully leading the opposition to a desperately needed school bond mea-sure, he is now leading the effort to defeat Proposition 1. The letters to the editor from his team last week, assert-ing that the Metropolitan Parks District is somehow an unconstitutional method of raising local taxes, are exactly the sort of scare tac-tics that he used to sink the last school bond. Defeating a levy/bond/MPD can be achieved by simply sowing doubt in the minds of voters.
Reading the text of the measure, I realized that I’m not qualified to determine whether it is constitutional or not. However, I’m in favor of a high quality, year round aquatics facility in our neighborhood, because kids learning to swim every sum-mer and then forgetting how to swim over the winter is a recipe for tragedy. So I am still planning to vote in favor of Proposition 1. Let the lawyers argue over whether it is constitutional later. This November, Kirkland voters need to decide whether we want our children to be wa-ter-safe, or not, and we need to prevent the fear-mongers from sinking the ARC.Dr. Christopher Carlson, Kirkland
ARC will be highly valued asset
If built, the proposed Kirk-land Aquatics, Recreation and Community (ARC) Center will meet criti-cal community needs and become a highly valued city asset. I strongly urge Kirk-land residents to support this November’s Prop. 1 ballot issue, which will establish a Metropolitan Park District
(MPD) as a funding mecha-nism for this public facility.
The arguments against the ARC and/or the MPD don’t hold water. Some people, even when they acknowl-edge the obvious need for an indoor, year-round city pool, decry the plan to build the multi-use ARC. As envi-sioned, the ARC will include not just lap and recreational pools, but also a single-court gym, a fitness room, wood-floor studios, community spaces and other amenities. A clear example, some op-ponents claim, of overreach by the City Council and the Parks Department.
The reality: the city did its research and learned that – unlike a pool-only design – such a multi-use facility will generate enough revenue to cover its ongoing operational costs. It goes without saying that the ARC will also cater to a much broader segment of Kirkland residents, from young to old, rather than to
only the large swimming and lesson community.
On another front, many opponents object to the establishment of the MPD funding mechanism. Some people have a predictable “anti-any-tax” response, and others cite specific concerns about the MPD model. The latter group worries that the MPD gives the City Council too much leeway to raise property taxes, with too little accountability and too few constraints.
The reality: Kirkland’s city councilors have shown that they are sincere public servants closely attuned and responsive to the needs and interests of their constituents. In proposing the ARC and the MPD funding mecha-nism – after many public meetings on these issues – the City Council is doing what it’s supposed to do. It is responding to a pressing community need in a fis-cally responsible way, using
a sustainable MPD fund-ing model that has proven successful in many other Washington communities. Any city councilor who wants to be reelected isn’t going to cavalierly propose tax increases without good reason and broad commu-nity support.
This November, Kirkland residents have the oppor-tunity to create a com-
munity resource that will help our lakefront city teach thousands to swim, sup-port year-round fitness and health activities, and become a gathering place for many civic meetings and events. The MPD model is the best and only realistic way to get the ARC built. Any MPD-based increase in property taxes – projected to be only $10/month or less for the av-
erage Kirkland homeowner – will be small compared to the city-wide appreciation in property values that will re-sult from the creation of this signature community asset.
Please join me in support-ing Prop 1, and the ARC, on this November’s ballot.
Dwight Davis, Kirkland

perception that the district is sort of complacent in how to do things di� er-ently,” he said. “It remains a very frustrating process to be a part of this task force. � e district needs to look at doing things di� erently.”
One area he said that needs improve-ment is community engagement as part of facilities plan-ning.
“It remains top down,” he said. “� ere’s usually a plan put in place. It’s disseminated and people are told to get on board, essentially. For a district this large, both size and class, the only e� ective way to do community plan-ning is to do community-generated planning.”
� is lack of community outreach, Laliberte said, is also partly to blame for the bond measure failures, especially when there has been organized opposi-tion to the most recent bond measures the district has put on the ballot.
“One of the things the district or our leadership needed to do was address some of the concerns the opposition raised,” he said. “� e idea that the district is building ‘Taj Mahal’ schools, there was not a response to that. � ere was not a coherent message as to why the bond was at the level it was at.”
He also said making several small changes or adjustments to the plans, such as removing unneces-sary computer labs and constructing two-story schoolbuildings, can help
lower the costs and empha-size to voters that the tax revenue will be well spent.
“I think just conveying to the community you’ve created as many little wins as you can… gives you
credibility,” he said. “Simply building the cheapest school possible is not the objective, but it is a criteria.”
In District 2, Carlson said he has decided to run again because the issue of growth has
to be dealt with.“I think I need to stick
around because we’ve been growing at an unprec-edented rate,” he said. “With that level of growth, there are growing pains. � e thing about growing as a school district is you can grow proactively and you can decide how you’re going to grow. We’re going to have to make some really important decision on how we grow in the next couple of years.”
Having served two terms on the board, Carl-son said his work to get school curricu-lum changed has given him a strong understanding on how to in� uence local education.
“When I was up-set about the math curriculum I asked
‘how do you change this?’ We’ve got to change the standards at the state level � rst. You have to under-stand where the pressure points and leverage points are,” he said.
On the bond measure, he said the district asked for too much in one bond last time and without context.
“We asked for a lot of money and I made the as-
sumption that the district voters would understand,” he said. “We were ask-ing for three quarters of a billion dollars. It’s a big number. When we heard gasps in the room it should have been a wake up call.”
Like Pendergrass, he also attributed well organized opposition in the commu-nity to the bond’s failure: “� e con people managed to catch with us with the ‘when did you stop beating your wife?’ question,” he said. “We failed to counter them e� ectively.”
While the district has tried to make do without new facilities, Carlson said the next time a bond is presented to the voters it will need to pass if they’re going to be able to take in any more growth.
“Passing that bond is critical,” he said. “� e most important thing for the district is to grow thought-fully once we pass the bond. We got to deal with the overcrowding.”
One major hurdle to getting a bond passed, he said, is the inability of the district or district board members to actually cam-paign for the bond.
Tepper, a member of the Long Term Facilities Task Force along with Laliberte, said his experiences at numerous district meetings inspired him to ultimately run against Carlson.
“I started leaving meet-ings more and more frus-trated,” he said.
� e main source of frus-tration, he said, has been the overcrowding schools due to repeated bond failures, a problem he said other district have not had.
“� at’s one of the major issues I really feel like I need to be a part of,” he said. “I think they need
someone there to be pas-sionate… when you have a bond measure on the ballot you have to treat it like a political campaign itself. You have to treat it very aggressively. You have to have a public rela-tions movement to get the word out and explain to people the need for all the funds. I felt like that was not done in any capacity. I was fully anticipating before the election that the bond was going to fail based on what I was seeing around my neigh-borhood. � e opposition was quite aggressive.”
When the bond mea-sure � nally passes, he said, many of other issues plaguing the district, like overcrowding and prob-lems stemming from that, will be � xed.
“One of my strengths is being a communicator, and communication is what’s really needed to get this bond measure passed,” he said.
With three kids at Lakeview Elemen-tary, Tepper said he would also be in a position to advocate strongly for academic stan-dards.
“I am very interested in mak-ing sure academic standards are kept to a level that is proper,” he said. “Our district, compara-tively speaking, is okay but there is always room for improvement. A lot of the issues are going to have a common denominator.”
Another district issue that inspired Tepper to run was the reboundary process, during which special needs students were
transferred from Lakev-iew Elementary. Making changes to the special needs community at the school should have been a last resort, according to Tepper.
Carlson defend-ed the decision, saying the district did not have a bet-ter option.
“None of us is moving a special needs classroom as � rst choice, but sometimes it is the least worst choice,”
he said. “He (Laliberte) wasn’t at Lakeview when we brought in the learn-ing center. � ose two classroom were not always there.”
Tepper also said Carl-son is not as available to the community as a board director should be.
“Maybe he has such a rigorous job,” Tepper said. “I’m sure everyone who serves on the board has another job to fund their lives. Maybe he just doesn’t have the time. I have a lot of time and I have a lot of
passion. I de� nitely can be much more available than he seems to either want to be or can be to the community.”
Carlson said Tep-per has misconcep-tions about the role of a school district
board member. “I didn’t fully understand
it when I � rst came on,” he said. “� e money problem is in Olympia. Most of our dollars come from Olym-pia. He (Laliberte) seems to think that at some level he’d be more capable of passing a school bond than I am. I don’t believe he would be able to do a whole lot better.”

Three males believed to be behind numerous burglaries along Inter-state 5 were arrested by Redmond Police early Thursday after an at-tempted burglary in the Rose Hill neighborhood, with a fourth suspect still at large.
The attempted burglary occurred at 3:30 a.m. when the three males, ages 16-19, entered the Rose Hill Walgreens located at 12405 NE 85th Street. Two of the suspects
allegedly approached the pharmacy area in the back of the store while the third suspect made a pur-chase at the front counter, according to a statement from Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Mike Murray.
The suspect then exited the store, got into a ve-hicle and waited near the front door while the two suspects in the store al-legedly attempted to steal narcotics, but were inter-rupted by the pharmacist. They left the store and were last seen leaving the
area in a vehicle on 124th Avenue Northeast.
They were identified by Redmond police driving on Redmond Way after receiving a description of the suspect and their vehicle. The three were arrested on theft and burglary charges and were released on bail.
Police believe the sus-pects were also involved in a robbery in Bellevue a few days later.
Neighboring agencies are working with the Kirkland Investigations Unit on the case.

Council to vote on changes to fire ILA
The Kirkland City Council is considering
a proposed resolution that would allow them to move forward with their plans for a new fire station without having to sell off Station 25, as stipulated under their interlocal agreement (ILA) with King County Fire District 41.
The resolution clarifies what the city considers to be the original intent of
the ILA in order to rectify their new plan for im-proving fire service with certain stipulations in the ILA between the city and the district following the 2011 annexation of Finn Hill, Juanita and Kings-gate.
The council will hold a public hearing on the issue during their Oct. 6 meet-ing before taking a vote.

Candidates will be asked to answer questions during three different stages. The first stage will include questions prepared by the advo-cacy team of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church, the group responsible for organizing the forum. The second stage will be a lightning round where
candidates will be asked to answer ten “yes” or “no” questions. The third stage will be questions written on note cards by audience members that will be read by the mod-erator.
In past years the church’s advocacy team has organized forums on voter referendums and candidates for both the Kirkland City Council
and the 45th Legislative District.
The advocacy team of Holy Spirit Lutheran Church was created to educate, encourage and enable church and com-munity members to advo-cate their point of view to government leaders and elected officials.

What’s going on?� e I-405 express toll lanes
opened Sunday, replacing the carpool lane from the junc-tion with I-5 in Lynnwood to Northeast Sixth Street in Bellevue. South of Highway 522, the state also added an additional lane for two express toll lanes.
Did they take away any general purpose lanes? No.
Do I have to pay to drive on I-405?
Not necessarily. Only if you use a toll lane.
How much are tolls?From 75 cents to $10,
depending on tra� c and distance traveled. � e typical toll is expected to be 75 cents to $4. Vehicles without a Good To Go account pay $2 extra.
How will I know?Signs show current toll
rates for the three zones of
travel and list carpool re-quirements. � e rate and the carpool requirements that are posted when you enter the lane re� ect what you will pay, even if those � gures change during your travel in the lane.
When are they open? 24/7Who can drive free?If you take transit, are part
of a registered vanpool, ride a motorcycle or meet carpool requirements. A transponder is needed in each case.
What’s new for carpools?Carpools must have a
Good To Go account, a Flex Pass switched to “HOV” mode and carry at least three people during peak periods (or at least two people all other times). Peak periods are 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. weekdays.
What about visitors?� e state will send them a
bill in the mail (toll plus $2). Or, you can temporarily add them to your account.
How much is a pass?
� e cheapest is a $5 sticker. � e most expensive is the $15 Flex Pass that switches between “HOV” and “TOLL” modes.

strong disconnect with the community, he noted the contrast with the KPD while doing a ride-along.
“It was everything I believed a police depart-ment should be,” he said. “I was impressed at how much the police o� cer inter-acted with the community. He was professional, very service-driven. It reminded me why I got into this. � is is who I want to be. � at’s never changed. I’ve never worked with a better group of people. � ey’ve never lost their sense of service to the community.”
Since 1990, Hamilton has also served as a patrol o� cer, detective, sergeant, lieuten-ant and captain. As a detec-tive in the early 1990s, he was a member of the KPD’s gang unit, which investigated gang-related crimes such as drive-by shootings and stolen-gun sales.
“As you wade through po-licing, the roles may change, but the mission doesn’t,” he said. “As you go from o� cer to detective to sergeant and lieutenant, my role basically as a captain and interim chief is to maintain a culture that’s committed to quality service to the community and has a duty to keep the people safe.”
Whereas gang activity plagued the city in the 1990s, recently the city has seen an increase in auto-related
the� s and residential bur-glaries, Hamilton said.
“We’re doing everything we can to proactively tackle that,” he said. “One of our challenges is to � nd ways to correctly mitigate and reduce property crimes.”
Hamilton has been acting as the operations captain since 2009, which oversees the patrol, tra� c and K-9 units and emergency man-agement.
Prior to this, he man-aged the Administrative Services Division, managing Kirkland’s municipal jail, the 9-1-1 dispatch center and Records and Training units.
“I think at every level in the organization there are challenging roles,” he said. “� e complexity changes, but I think the hardest part of policing is dealing with crimes against the helpless - children, the elderly. I think the most di� cult part of this job is being a service to people who’ve been victim-ized and remembering part of your duty is to give these people a voice that’s been taken away.”
Hamilton has also been assigned to various specialty teams, including the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force, SWAT, Dive Team, Gang Unit and the Crisis Negotia-tions Team.
“Every leader should have a strong basis of knowledge of what they are asking
others to do,” he said, “but I think the thing I’ve learned over the years is the job of the police is to create a feel-ing of safety, because we’re also dealing with people and their lives and we need to treat people with empa-thy, with humility. I believe police o� cers need to be sel� ess in their actions.”
Hamilton was also part of the subcommittee that looked into switching the department’s work sched-ule, as well as the latest labor contract negotiations with the city that � nalized the schedule. Under the previous schedule, o� cers would work 12-hour shi� s four days a week, two shi� s during the day and two night shi� s. � e new schedule has
them working 10-hour shi� s four days a week and during the same part of the day. � e new schedule will be imple-mented in February 2016.
“It was probably the worst combination,” he said. “It was one of the worst schedules a person could work. � e whole point of the schedule was to provide a healthier schedule for the o� cers to work.”
Now, Hamilton is working on the planning commis-sion for the Police Strategic Plan, which was approved in the city’s 2013-2014 budget, but got pushed back to the 2015-2016 budget until a� er the Kirkland Justice Center was completed. � e depart-ment was previously located at City Hall near downtown,
but made the move to the Justice Center shortly a� er its completion late last year.
In addition to more space to operate in, Hamilton said the new facility gives them a more centralized loca-tion from which to operate throughout the city.
“It re� ects the quality of people who work there,” he said. “I think it’s led to more e� ciency and e� ectiveness.”
� e strategic plan provides recommendations to the department and the city on how to respond to the police service needs in the city. It also provides policies on the use of new technology and how to respond to di� er-ent crimes more common in some neighborhoods than others. � e city will be hiring a consultant for it this month.
“Too o� en police depart-ments focus on what they believe is best based on their experience,” Hamilton said, “but it should re� ect what the community thinks is best for the community. It’s so much more than strictly enforcement.”
Another goal Hamilton said they’re looking to accomplish is creating a department more re� ective of the communities where they operate.
“It’s important for any organization to re� ect the people they serve, and that is a focus on hiring right now,”
he said. “� ere is nation-wide attention to a divide between police departments and their community. I think we have incredible support of our community. It’s well earned, but it’s a fragile re-lationship. We have to work hard to not be disassociated with our community.”
Hamilton has the support of many in the city.
“Captain Hamilton has a deep understanding of how policing a� ects people and this quality has served him well as a captain and will continue to do the same as he serves as interim chief,” Deputy Mayor and Chair of the Public Safety Com-mittee Penny Sweet said. “I am con� dent of his abilities and look forward to work-ing with him on the Police Strategic Plan.”
Hamilton is a graduate of the Northwestern University of School of Police Sta� and Command and the FBI-sponsored Law Enforcement Executive Development Seminar at Quantico, Va. He is a member of the Interna-tional Association of Chiefs of Police and the Washing-ton Association of Sheri� s and Police Chiefs.
� e KPD has 99 sworn o� cers and 36 support personnel.

� is is the � rst part of a two-part column.
“I was born and raised in northern Minnesota,” explained my 92-year-old neighbor and long-time Kirkland resident, Elaine Rolo� , as she looked out the window of her original 1950’s home. As her neighbor, I see Elaine every now and then—getting the mail, garden-ing or driving up the alley. It occurred to me a few weeks ago that although we may exchange “hellos” and “how are yous” in the driveway, I didn’t know much about her. Going into
the interview, I had little background information. I knew her house sat on a grassy lot and had a cement path leading from her front porch to a mellow street in West of Market, and that’s
just about it. Elaine gladly
welcomed me into her home, and we sat on a pair of identical upholstered rock-ing chairs. Elaine began by telling me about her life
in Minnesota, her brief job there a� er she � nished high school and about World War II breaking out in 1941. At the war’s incep-tion, Elaine quit her job in Minnesota, and by 1943 she
had moved out to Washing-ton to be a part of the war e� ort.
In Washington, Elaine became one of the many women at the time to work as a riveter for Boeing. She described this job as, “putting a plane together.” Elaine has detailed memo-ries of working for Boeing, include her assigned num-ber, “1313.” It was at Boeing that Elaine met her � rst husband, Lester Hudlow. Lester did many things at Boeing, including work-ing as an occasional riveter where he got to spend time with Elaine.
A� er working in Wash-ington for a couple of years, Elaine decided to quit and travel to Denver in order to spend time with her brother. A� er about six weeks, Elaine came back to
Washington excited to be home with Lester, whom she would marry a year or two later. Elaine was quickly rehired at Boeing. She continued living in a small house in Ballard with a married couple and two other women her age. � ey split the cost of rent and food, and Elaine told me proudly that on average, she spent about $33 per month, “depending on how well we ate.”
Elaine remembers a day in 1945 that has become monumental in history: � e day WWII ended. As Elaine described to me how she was at work on a normal day when, “they announced over the loud speaker that we were being laid o� , and we all lost our jobs.” Elaine looked at me, shaking her head and recalling her reac-
tion to this event. “I was shocked and surprised that they could lay everyone o� so quickly like that.”
With the war over, the men were sent back to work and the women were sent home.
Lester was rehired, but Elaine decided to do some-thing else. She began work-ing at Pier 91 in Seattle’s navy yards. She worked in a large cafeteria where the ships came in. Elaine told me that her orders were, “full of hamburgers, fries and many, many milk-shakes.”
In February of 1946, Elaine and Lester got mar-ried and Elaine quit her job. � ey moved into an extremely small apart-ment in Seattle on Mercer Street. Elaine tells me with disbelief that she could
barely turn around in their tiny kitchen. Unhappy with their small living condi-tions, they soon moved to the housing projects in Everett. However, this was far from Lester’s work and they ended up moving back to Seattle in 1947 to live in another small house. � ere, Elaine and Lester had their � rst child, a little girl named Karmen.
When Karmen was three years old, Elaine and Lester began looking for a bigger house.
� ey heard from a friend, whom they had met through Boeing, that a house was being built in Kirkland and they should have a look. Sure enough, in August of 1950, the Hud-low family moved into the small Kirkland home where Elaine still lives today.
Between moving from her home in Minnesota, supporting the war e� ort from the home front and starting her own family, Elaine’s young adulthood was � lled with fun tales and memories, as well as some di� culties and hardships. As Elaine begins a new chapter of her life, she expe-riences a lot of change. Next week I will tell you all about what comes next in Elaine’s inspiring story.
