EvergreenHealth Among Nation's Top 100 Community Hospitals

Becker's Hospital Review has named EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Kirkland among the nation's 100 great community hospitals for 2024. EvergreenHealth was selected for improving the health of their communities, staying focused on personalized care and clinical excellence. Our 354-bed hospital is only one part of our system, which is community-owned. As a public hospital district, EvergreenHealth also provides health outreach, community education and free services that benefit the community as a whole.

Becker's Hospital Review's list was based on nominations and several outside rankings and ratings organizations, including U.S. News & World Report, Healthgrades, CMS, The Leapfrog Group, the National Rural Health Association and The Chartis Center for Rural Health.

Public Art Plan Update

2016 So Bazaar Art Installation 

The origin of this art installation ... 

The City of Redmond is updating its 2017 Public Art Plan to better reflect today’s community needs and priorities. The consultant, MIG ($100,000 cost) has been guiding the city through a collaborative process to create a strategic framework for future cultural art programming.

This update will integrate art into everyday life across parks, downtown, cultural districts, and neighborhoods. Reflect Redmond’s diversity, history, and innovation as both a tech hub and a creative, collaborative community.  It is long overdue though one must say the downtown station light rail art is fabulous and hard to beat.

City Launches Old Fire House Stakeholder And Focus Groups.

Old Fire House facility 

The Parks and Recreation Department, with support from Stepherson & Associates ($115,000) is launching a community engagement process to shape a recommendation for City Council regarding the future of the Old Fire House facility.

At the conclusion of this community engagement process, Council will receive a recommendation from the Stakeholder Group via Focus Group to help guide the decision on the future of the Old Fire House. The Stakeholder Group will evaluate options and recommend either a renovation of the existing facility or a rebuild (location TBD). The final report will summarize the rationale for the recommendation, highlight key community priorities, and provide Council with insight into the benefits, challenges, and trade-offs of each option to support an informed decision.

Comment:  The memo quoted cost for the Stepherson & Associates work as $115,00.  This is obviously a typo.  The final decision is expected by Council late 2026 after 9 months of deliberation, engagement, outreach and study.  BY

EP&O tax increases of $180/year on $1.5M assessed property value ($.97/$1,000 property value)  and a Capital Technology and Facilities tax increase of $45/year ($.44/$1,000 property value.)  I suggest you read the "Levy Renewals" slide deck document for a readable, comprehensive report. Some tax increases may be higher or lower than quoted here.

• Acquire and install computers, implement, train, and manage. 
• Modernize and expand facilities through construction, renovation, and improvements.  Improve technology and training.  

On October 6, the  Board will make their final decision on the 2026 excess levy tax increases.  To comment email them at boardmembers@lwsd.org or phone 425-936-1257 ... before Oct. 6.

Coffee-time With EvergreenHealth Commissioner Robin Campbell

I spent ~ hour with EvergreenHealth Commissioner Campbell today at his coffee-time at Roasters in Redmond.  I told him my wife's United Healthcare HSA policy was cancelled at Overlake two days ago.  It's too bad medical care is at the mercy of the insurance business.  I recommended Pam go to my doctor at EvergreenHealth since it's close by and coverage is still available there.  My Evergreen internist doctor will refer her to the type of medical services she needs.  

It's awesome Commissioner Campbell is reaching out to the community with his "Meet the Commissioner" coffee-times.  I learned he is on the influential Levy Committee and has many endorsements. His next coffee is scheduled at:

King County Executive Candidate Forum On Mental Health

credit:  Seattle Times

The new King County executive will have a lot of mental health responsibilities on their plate after they’re elected in November. 

They’ll have to steer a local mental health care expansion and navigate the delicate politics of constructing new walk-in mental health centers. They’ll also have to deal with the aftermath of an audit finding the Department of Community and Human Services failed to properly oversee grant money. 

 

Federal policies will also affect the county: President Donald Trump has suggested states broaden their involuntary civil commitment laws, and changes to Medicaid may also threaten care for some low-income residents.

 

On Oct. 9, join The Seattle Times and the League of Women Voters of Seattle King County for an online forum with candidates Claudia Balducci and Girmay Zahilay. The two candidates, both current Metropolitan King County Council members, will discuss their visions for improving mental health policy in King County.

 

Register here for the forum, which will run from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Submit your questions for the candidates using this form and we may use them in the discussion.

 

Redmond Police Host Firearm Exchange Event

 

Redmond Police Department to Host Firearm Exchange Event on September 20

REDMOND, WA - The Redmond Police Department is hosting its second free and voluntary firearm exchange event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Redmond Police Department North Lot, located at 8707 160th Ave. NE, Redmond. This initiative offers Redmond residents, Redmond Ridge community members, and City of Redmond employees a safe way to turn in unwanted firearms in exchange for gift cards. Proof of residency is required. 

Participants must ensure all firearms are unloaded, with the safety on, and stored in the trunk or rear area of the vehicle, out of reach of passengers. When possible, firearms should be placed in a gun case or box to allow for safe examination by officers. No ammunition will be accepted at the event. Firearms collected during the exchange will be safely and permanently destroyed. 

Gift card values offered in exchange for firearms are as follows:

• $0 – Replicas, toy guns, BB-guns, pellet guns, airsoft guns
• $100 – Muzzleloaders, antiques, shotguns, rifles (non-assault style)
• $200 – Handguns (pistols and revolvers)
• $300 – AR-style rifles, AK-style rifles, and automatic rifles

“This event is about giving our community members a safe and anonymous way to remove unwanted firearms from their homes. Whether someone no longer needs a firearm, inherited one, or simply wants to reduce the risk of theft or misuse, this is an opportunity to do so responsibly,” said Police Chief Darrell Lowe. “Our goal is to enhance community safety by preventing firearms from falling into the wrong hands.”

One Redmond Foundation, V.P.

Listen to an interview with her sister here.

ENDORSEMENT: My wife and I spent 1.5 hours with Menka over coffee yesterday. She exudes compassion, sincerity, active caring for others (including her 2 daughters!) and high-spirited energy. She admits she's not "the perfect candidate." without budgeting and comprehensive planning experience and has no position on the teen center controversary. However, her strength is moving Redmond towards a "better experience" ... more unique art and cultural events, building trust through culturally competent public safety strategies, a gentle community perspective. Unlike her opponent, I trust she will participate in full, at meetings and be enthusiastic and committed in her Council responsibilities. We are voting 'yes' for Menka Soni in November.

WCC Members To Remove Noxious Weeds, Plant trees

Internet photo

The Washington Conservation Corps (WCC) maintains stream and habitat restoration sites throughout the City of Redmond. Maintenance is typically required by permits for the first 5-10 years after project completion and ongoing maintenance is necessary for long-term project success. 

"Maintenance is a crucial activity to the success of restoration and mitigation . Approximately 100-acres of maintenance sites are distributed around Redmond.  Maintenance of restoration sites involves control of invasive weeds, litter pick-up, replacement planting, and other activities important to overall project success. This regular site maintenance enhances already completed projects, building on the initial investment, as well as improving the aesthetics of sites." 

This project costs $289,880 and includes 4 extra weeks of crew time to assist with large scale noxious weed management and tree planting projects. WCC members are typically college-age students learning restoration techniques and gaining job skills. A crew consists of six staff that work a 40-hour work week, for 42 weeks, primarily managing noxious weeds and installing replacement plantings at City capital improvement projects. In addition, the crew helps with volunteer events, native tree planting, habitat assessment, small stream projects, site monitoring, and de-fishing stream projects.

Council Allocates $250,000 For Immigrant, Refugee, Asylum Seeking Community Members

Internet photo

Redmond residents who are immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are especially impacted by the current federal regulatory environment, facing fear, harassment, uncertainty and trauma regardless of their legal status. 

To better understand the current impacts in our community, Councilmembers, Mayor Birney, and staff have met with community-based organizations to better understand their immediate needs for relief and support. In addition to strengthened communication, the Councilmembers heard community leaders and their clear call for rapid response funding to support increased levels of service and resources they are providing to our immigrant community members in Redmond and address gaps caused by federal changes. To match our commitment to a welcoming, equitable, and inclusive community with action, it is proposed that the council allocate $250,000 of funding to an immediate needs grant round focused on support for our immigrant, refugee, and asylum seeking community members. The proposed funding may be distributed to nonprofit organizations currently vetted and funded by the city’s human services grant program in order to support: legal assistance, housing stability, food security, and other needs as a result of current immigration enforcement. This is a one-time funding disbursement in response to unprecedented needs and is not eligible for renewal. Funding should be spent to relieve the immediate needs of Redmond residents, not be used to fund ongoing staff positions, and must be exhausted no later than December 31, 2026.

The Untold Story of Northwest Rock & Roll

 The Redmond Historical Society presents ...

Saturday Speaker Series Stomp and Shout: The Untold Story of Northwest Rock & Roll   Saturday, September 13th at 10:30 AM In the Old Redmond Schoolhouse at 16600 NE 80TH ST, Redmond, WA 98052

Registration is not required. A recording will NOT be available following the event. View www.humanities.org/events to find Peter Blecha's other scheduled presentations.   Northwest Rock & Roll’s historical highpoints are well documented—in the late 20th century, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and other grunge gods took the world by storm. Previously, Seattle’s Queensrÿche and Heart had ruled the heavy metal realm. However, well prior to that, legions of local 1950s and ‘60s garage rock bands – including The Kingsmen, Paul Revere & The Raiders, and The Sonics – had all fueled teen dances with their versions of the region’s signature song, “Louie, Louie.” Yet these iconic bands are only half the story. In this talk, join author Peter Blecha to discover the lesser-known but vitally important bands and scenes that laid the foundation for what was to come—finally connecting all the dots between the fabled Northwest era of Ray Charles, Quincy Jones, and Jimmy Hendrix, and the R&B-spiked roots of a distinct regional artform: the “Original Northwest Sound.”

Jessica Forshee-Setzer, LMHC, -- EvergreenHealth's "Living Our Values" Honoree

Jessica Forshee-Setzer, LMHC

 

Jessica was honored  with EvergreenHealth's "Living Our Values" award during a July 28 ceremony at Canyon Park Behavioral Health Clinic.   

Jessica's Nomination Story:

"I would like to highlight an inspiring story from our Canyon Park Behavioral Health Clinic — one that reflects the power of compassion, persistence and expert care. It centers on Jessica Forshee-Setzer, LMHC, whose dedication made a profound impact on a young patient’s life in just a few months.

"When this young patient first arrived at the clinic six months ago, his family was deeply concerned. He was experiencing frequent outbursts at school, difficulty communicating and severe challenges with focus. At his initial appointment, he wouldn’t make eye contact or speak, remaining glued to his video game and barely acknowledged those around him. 

"Jessica met him where he was — starting with simple, non-threatening games to build trust. Over time, her gentle persistence and thoughtful approach began to pay off. Session by session, she slowly introduced more engaging activities, and soon the patient began to open up, sharing bits about his school life and family. 

"Milestones followed. He began checking in at the front desk independently, helping himself to water, and even assisting other patients by pressing the automated door button. As more sessions passed, and Jessica was able to work with his school to learn background information and Improvement of Performance (IOP) treatment details, she was able to address his emotional and social needs, helping him to utilize opposite action and positive behaviors.

"Now, as he nears the end of his program, the transformation is nothing short of remarkable. He has developed strong communication skills, learned effective coping strategies, and gained a newfound confidence. He will even greet the psychiatric provider (Dr. Brian Wasicek) at the Behavioral Health clinic.  

"His bright “Hi, Dr. Wasicek!” in the hallway is a small but powerful symbol of how far he’s come. 

"Once a boy who hid his face behind his hands and wouldn’t speak a single word is now a cheerful, talkative adolescent. 

"Jessica’s commitment to this patient’s growth reflects the excellence we strive for every day. Her work reminds us of the incredible difference one person can make. 

"Thank you, Jessica, for the heart and skill you bring to every session. We are honored to have you as part of our team."

OPINION: Council Should Stop Playing Games With Our Teens

Old Fire House Teen Center

OPINION:  On March 11, 2025 the City stated: "Teen programs currently housed at the Old Fire House Teen Center are proactively transitioning to the Redmond Community Center at Marymoor Village for safety reasons. The transition will begin later this month, and all programs are expected to be operational in their new locations by late April."  After two listening sessions the teens found Marymoor and the Senior & Community Center sterile and unwelcoming.      

More than four months later a bureaucracy of Council / staff / a subcommittee / an advisory committee/ a stakeholder group / focus groups/ and 2 listening sessions still hadn't decided what to do with the Center.  Total costs just for this  citizen engagement and outreach was $124,600 not counting staff  labor.  It appears Council and staff were trying to wear out the teens from protesting in City Hall while shoe-horning them into Marymoor and the Senior & Community Center.  These delays were pure nonsense ... at the expense to our youth's mental and academic health.   

Last night teen participation testimony winnowed down to only three teens.  All spoke against the closure.  One persistently requested accountability. 

In September and October 2025, a Stakeholder Group will meet six times to hear more information, including input from public focus groups.  According to staff's  FAQ, "City Council is expected to make a decision on whether to renovate the current structure or investigate rebuilding options by the end of 2025."   And THEN the city must renovate or rebuild!  This could take years.  

Council and staff must stop playing games with our most vulnerable teens.  The Mayor needs to move the process "fast forward."  

Renovation is not an option since Parks Director Loreen Hamilton invested deeply into taxpayer's pockets for safety and engineering inspections.  The building is 50-years old and renovation for safety would be expensive.  

The school district rebuilds all the time, when they tear down their existing buildings and build a new, larger schools on the same parcel. The teen center's basketball courts are mostly unused, as is the deck in the winter.  A rebuild could add 5-6 levels of affordable space, while allowing independent, sound-proofed teen activities in the first floor.  The City owns the land; a partnership with a developer would make it feasible. Please get on with it.
