Fight Climate Change with Eastside Master Recycler Composter training

 
Seattle Tilth Trains New Master Recycler Composter Volunteers this Spring 

Are you passionate about the environment and want to make a positive change in your community? Concerned about climate change, but don’t know how to help? Seattle Tilth’s Master Recycler Composter Eastside trains community members to become environmental stewards -- and climate change heroes -- through sustainable gardening, composting, natural lawn care and water conservation.

Industrial agriculture is one of the driving forces behind climate change, producing 25% of carbon emissions through the use of fossil fuel-based fertilizers and widespread deforestation. Food waste in landfills also contributes to climate change, creating nearly one quarter of methane emissions in the US. Gardening and composting are some of the simplest and most effective ways for you to combat climate change, right from your own backyard!

The Master Recycler Composter Eastside brings together a diverse team of community volunteers to participate in 28 hours of classroom learning, hands-on practice and field trips. Learn how to compost while learning about soil science, gardening, recycling and storm water management! Training includes eight sessions during four weeks starting on Wednesday, April 6 at McAuliffe Park in Kirkland.

After the training, Master Recycler Composters contribute 35 hours of volunteer outreach, teaching practical techniques to other community members in the greater Eastside area. Volunteers work on projects of their own choosing – at schools, churches, community centers, businesses and community gardens.

Apply by March 31
The Master Recycler Composter Eastside program is for King County residents and adjacent Snohomish County neighbors. Read More >>

Opinion: Redmond City Council has no policy valueing or addressing neighborhood services

OPINION:  As you can see below, the City of Kirkland is proud of their neighborhoods and recognizes their neighborhoods with a mission statement and an extensive neighborhood services program.  Why doesn't the City of Redmond have a mission statement for their neighborhoods, active neighborhood associations, and frequent, regular and organized Council/city staff meetings in their neighborhoods.

City legal costs with neighbors escalated from the Redmond Bike Park land use decision.  A neighborhood association could have smoothed communications and saved taxpayer money.
City-Neighborhood communications on the encampment ordinance was poor.  A neighborhood association, per Kirkland's model, could have improved dialogue and outcomes. School and city levy communications are restricted.

It appears the only in-neighborhood services the City of Redmond offers is a dormant "matching gifts program",council visits to those neighbors holding annual National Night Out parties, the fireman's Santa Christmas visit, Redmond Ready, the national CERT program and the Police Academy.  Other in-neighborhood services may be offered but they're scattered all over the city web-site and not readily found or known.

After the Marchione-Fields election the Marchione Administration appears to be reaching out to the neighborhoods with an April 28 Town Hall.  Lisa Rhodes, the city Communications Director announced a "two-way communications" initiative.  Several Education Hill residents are trying to form a neighborhood association, but the city is offering them no assistance or resources.

The city appears to have no interest in establishing formal neighborhood associations nor advocating for them.  A leader of the school district levy bond committee was looking for Redmond associations like Kirkland's but we have none to offer.  For years Mayor Marchione has been aware of Kirkland's associations (his mother is a Kirkland councilmember) but hasn't been empowered by Council to form them.  Council has no policy that addresses neighborhood services.

CrossFit Hosts CPR/AED event with Redmond Firefighters.

If residents are interested in emergency preparedness and CPR/AED training, they can participate in a Redmond Ready Day community class on May 21 at Fire Station 17. Please visit www.redmond.gov/ready to register online. The cost is $25 for the materials.

Redmond, WA - More lives are saved when the general public is trained in CPR and the proper use of an Automatic External Defibrillator (AED). Jason Kingsbury survived a Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) last fall because his friends knew CPR, recognized it as cardiac arrest, and knew how to use an AED. This inspired Jason and his wife, Theresa, to organize a CPR/AED training day at CrossFit Fuse in Redmond.

“I was lucky that Arena Sports had an AED that was clearly identified and available,” said Jason Kingsbury. “When I collapsed on the indoor soccer field that night, my friends immediately began CPR and shocked me with that AED. I don’t remember much of that night, but I do know that without having that AED along with friends who knew CPR that I probably wouldn’t be here today.”

The Kingsburys and Crossfit members realized this emergency could have just as easily happened at their workout facility so, with the support of CrossFit Fuse Redmond, they instituted CPR training and purchased an AED. The Kingsburys worked with Firefighter and Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Paul Atkinson, who organized a team of Redmond Firefighters to join CrossFit Fuse member on Saturday, March 12, 2016, for their Work out of the Day (WOD), and then they taught a CPR/AED class.

“It was really great to work out with Jason and Theresa,” stated Redmond Firefighter Atkinson. “I responded to Jason’s SCA at Arena Sports and arrived after his friends had provided CPR and defibrillation. Ever since his SCA, Jason and his wife have worked really hard to raise awareness and to promote CPR and AED training. I was extremely glad to help them provide this CPR/AED outreach.”

OPINION: City of Redmond's Far-reaching Encampment Ordinance, A Regional Leader In Tent Cities?

In the April 12, 2016 Study Session Council decided to limit stays at each site to 120 days to ensure Ed Hill will not be burdened with year-round encampments. Each hosting church will have three stays with 12 months between stays for a time uncertain for each permit.  A Council Hearing will be scheduled in the near future to address organizer background checks and service provider access to the camps.

An in depth article on tent encampments in the Redmond Reporter's March 11, 2016 edition, attracted six Redmond citizens to speak at Redmond's  "Items from the Audience" in Council's March 15,2016 business meeting. (Click to watch the video)/All had safety and quality of life concerns about Council's proposed amendment to the ordinance.

Noticeably absent during the March 15 Items were ordinance advocates.  One can assume tent city advocates had been adequately heard by the Planning Commission and Council and they were fully confident the ordinance would pass.

The amendment will significantly increase the presence of camps in Redmond with potential for year-round encampments on Education Hill.  Camp stays will increase from 4 months to 6 months and stays can occur six months per year for the next five years. St Jude and Redwood Family Church are the only churches that host Redmond encampments and they are both on Education Hill.

Woodblock restaurant Grand Opening March 18

There’s a new restaurant on the block in Redmond.

Opening March 18, Woodblock will focus on seasonal fare sourced locally. With snacks like Herb Roasted Olives, to small plates like heirloom carrots with maple syrup, to entrees like braised oxtail butternut squash risotto, Woodblock has something on the menu for everybody.

The bar will have a wide selection of spirits, especially from local distilleries like Sun Liquor, Woodinville Whiskey, and Oola.

The 2,300 square foot space has 76 seats, with 12 seats at the bar. The interior features woven pendant lamps, a bar made out of reclaimed Douglas fir, and a custom piece of woodcut art by Charles Spitzack, a homage to the name Woodblock.

Woodblock, located on Cleveland Street in the Old Town Lofts, is the long-time dream of now first-time restaurant owners Carolyn and Tony Scott.

The Scotts are Redmond residents and wanted to create a restaurant that would be comfortable as well as a good place for a date, family dinner, or just a bite at the bar with friends. It’s conveniently located next to the Connector Trail and near the forthcoming Redmond Central Park.

“Carolyn and I met 20 years ago working at The Painted Table in Seattle,” said Tony. “Opening our own restaurant has always been a long-held dream of ours — and the timing was finally right.”

Woodblock will be open 4-11 p.m. daily and until 12 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. Happy hour is daily from 4-6 p.m. in the bar, and there will be a late night menu from 10 p.m. to close.

Woodblock is located at 16175 Cleveland St. in Redmond.

25% of Redmond residents are non-citizens and can't vote on the Bond Measure

Vote ‘yes’ — Supporting the school district bond | Letters to Redmond Reporter

• Redmond Reporter, 3/11/ at 11:11AM

• I’m a Lake Washington School District (LWSD) parent, and I’m supporting the school district bond that will come before voters on April 26.

For the bond to pass it requires a minimum of 40 percent registered voters who cast ballots in the last general election to vote, and a 60 percent “yes” vote.

As a permanent resident awaiting citizenship, I pay residential taxes for local government services, but I am unable to vote. As I look at the demographics in our rapidly growing school district today, I believe a significant proportion of the LWSD parents are in this same situation (about 25 percent population in Redmond are non-citizens).

In light of this, for a successful bond, we need every eligible voter who supports the bond, to cast a ballot and vote “yes.” Because if you assume the 60 percent “yes” vote will be attained from school parent volunteers, who understand the need for the bond incontrovertibly, you may be miscalculating, because a large percentage of us can’t vote.

Please vote “yes” for our children and schools.

EvergreenHealth leases 20,000 sf of commercial space in Kenmore

At a groundbreaking ceremony last Wednesday (October 16, 2015), MainStreet Property Group LLC revealed their vision for a new mixed-use project across from City Hall (in Kenmore). The LINQ at Spencer Square will feature 94 modern residential flats and lofts, along with approximately 20,000 square feet of commercial space leased to Kirkland-based EvergreenHealth.

EvergreenHealth’s plan for the space will serve as gateway for patients to gain access to an integrated network of primary, specialty, urgent, and emergency care services. When the building opens, EvergreenHealth will move its Kenmore primary care practice from its current location to the LINQ, increasing the practice’s footprint and adding more capacity for specialty care.

Council Taking Comments On Controversial Tent Encampment Ordinance

NOTICE!  Re: the Redmond Zoning Code Amendment: Temporary Use Regulations for Encampments

"The Council will be discussing the revised ordinance during the New Business section of the April 5 regular business meeting prior to taking any action at that meeting. We are accepting public input by phone, email or a face to face meeting, if that is preferred right up until that meeting, where we are anticipating a vote."

~ Kim Allen, Redmond City Councilmember, Ombudsperson for March

The proposed tent encampment ordinance is a controversial amendment that will affect our neighborhoods and downtown for years to come.  Under the ordinance, tent encampments will be allowed to be sited at St Jude's and Redmond Family Church for a six month duration,at a frequency of six months per year,on a five year permit costing $1000.  

Five years is a long time for the St. Jude encampment site -- smack in the middle of four LWSD schools in the Education Hill middle class neighborhood.  In Council's last Study Session I was relieved to learn they were interested in formulating rules and regulations for the two organizing groups, ShareWheel and Camp Unity. Councilman David Carson recommended rules so the homeless residents could have better access to human services and job resources.  ShareWheel has been uncooperative in this regard.  I assume these new rules and regulations will be part of the Revision but our city Ombudsman wouldn't share specifics.

I plan to speak at Items from the Audience at Council's 7:30pm, March 15 meeting.  I hope other neighbors will show up too -- pro and con.  Yesterday, I emailed mayorcouncil@redmond.gov recommending the following ordinance revision.

I  recommend Council approves a 6-year permit for host churches and keep the frequency of encampments to every 2 or 3 years....not every year. Keep the duration at six months.  Increasing duration AND frequency at the same time hasn't been done anywhere in King County.  We are sticking our neck out too far, too fast.  Increasing duration is far more valuable than frequency because it brings stability to ALL -- the homeless, the community, and more reliable human resource & police services.

Redmond already has a growing youth homeless problem in the Downtown. Increasing the frequency to every year, will draw in the adult homeless from outside communities, counties and states because they will learn our "schedule."  Yes, homelessness has become an area-wide problem and we "must do our fair share."  But, isn't increasing the duration to six months a wonderful start?  That alone puts Redmond as the encampment leader area-wide.

Overall, we are focusing too much attention and community resources on encampments and not enough on permanent adult shelters. Bellevue,  Kirkland and Woodinville have shorter duration and frequencies and two of these cities are working on permanent adult shelters. I watch the Council meetings almost every week. I can't recall them ever discussing plans for a permanent adult shelter in Redmond.

Local Sports Stars to Speak At Lake Washington Schools Foundation Spring Events

The Lake Washington Schools Foundation announced speakers for its annual spring fundraising events this morning. Former Seattle Seahawk and Pro Football Hall of Famer Walter Jones is the highlighted speaker for the Spring for Learning Luncheon on April 20th

Seahawks as left tackle. He was the first-team selection of the NFL’s All-Decade Team of the 2000’s. Following the 1999 season, Jones became the first offensive lineman in Seahawks history to be elected to the Pro Bowl. Jones has two students in the Lake Washington School District.

Seattle Sounders Coach Sigi Schmid will speak at the Spring for Learning Breakfast scheduled for April 27th. Sigi is the winningest coach in MLS history. Since 1999, Schmid’s teams have won 11 major titles, including two MLS Cups. Schmid is a member of both the National Soccer and UCLA Hall of Fame.  Read More >>

What can we learn from the 2007 St. Jude's encampment?

In 2007 alcohol and substance abuse were forbidden by ShareWheel.  TC4 evictions for alcohol and disorderly conduct are enacted by tent city residents, WheelShare staff, and parishioners; that was the **policy** in 2007.  During eviction, the police department was rarely, if ever, called to assess the evicted for health & safety needs, counseling, escort, or even incarceration.  The evicted were simply sent to a bus stop. I strongly recommend a policy where the police be called in during evictions so professional, objective assessment can be taken. Yes, police intervention may cost taxpayers more money short term, but it is safer for citizens, more humane for the afflicted and probably more cost effective long term.  Read More >>

Please vote "yes" for the April 2016 School Bond Measure

As a 33 year resident and parent living on a fixed income on Education Hill, my wife and I had a hard time stomaching the one billion dollar 2014 combined school bond measures -- even if it meant our house would increase in value. We were very concerned about our property taxes drastically going up and the district's record of building posh schools.  Of course our schools were seriously overcrowded in 2014. Today, overcrowding has reached crisis levels.      

When Superintendent Pierce announced the $398 million April 2016 bond measure we found it digestible and our concerns about property taxes and expensive schools were addressed, as follows:  1) The measure will maintain 2015 tax rates! 2) Seven principles for designing practical, cost effective schools will be implemented.  And yes, the severe overcrowding will be tackled by building three new schools with increased capacity AND rebuilds/enlargements at Juanita HS, Mead, and Kirkland Elementary Schools -- all for the price of $398 million. 

Eric Campbell -- a Kirkland parent and developer -- described the District's 7 principles for building practical, cost effective schools at a recent Education Hill neighborhood meeting.  Some of the highlights:  1) the district will save money by eliminating or minimizing 1-story designs, 2) aesthetics will be pleasing but not based on Award-winning architectural designs. and 3) buildings will be designed in a more compact manner i.e box/cube.  New schools will be cost-effective and practical while providing teachers and students the space they need to learn and thrive!

If you'd like an added "push" this April, the measure calls for a new elementary school in North Redmond that is expected to reduce morning and dismissal traffic congestion on 166th Avenue (since many of the Rockwell students will go to the new school.)  Also, if the proposed Middle School on Redmond Ridge is built, some traffic mitigation is likely on the Avondale corridor. 

Please vote "yes" on the April 2016 Bond measure!

The National Coast Defense System and the Fortification of Puget Sound, 1894-1925

David M. Hansen

Author of “Battle Ready: The National Coast Defense System and the Fortification of Puget Sound, 1894-1925”

In 1894, Puget Sound was added to the national coast defense system and became one of the most heavily fortified harbors in the United States.  Invisible from the sea, concrete fortifications at the mouth of Admiralty Inlet held powerful cannon.  Today, three state parks- Forts Casey, Flagler and Worden – present a range of concrete structures and historic buildings that serve as reminders of a unique chapter in U.S. military and Pacific Northwest history. Author David Hansen presents the national context, as well as many fascinating details and photos about the designs, innovations, and frustrations that were part of implementation as well as the experience of serving in the fortifications during the period of their greatest importance. A must program for fans of military history!

Relax over a cup of coffee at the Redmond Historical Society Saturday Speaker Series, a monthly program from September to May that features eight speakers addressing topics of local, state and Pacific Northwest historical interest. (No program in December). The series is held 10:30am – noon at the Old Redmond Schoolhouse Community Center, 16600 NE 80th St., Redmond, WA.

UPDATED: Learn about LWSD bond measure at upcoming community meetings

Redmond, Wash. –  Lake Washington School District is growing. The district has grown by over 3200 students in the last five years. It has grown from the sixth largest district to the fourth largest district in the state in one year.  To meet these growing needs for classroom space, the district’s board of directors voted to place a bond measure on the April 26 ballot. This measure, for $398 million in 20-year bonds, would fund the most immediate, high priority needs. The total tax rate will be maintained at the 2015 rate.

Four upcoming community meetings are a chance to learn more about the bond measure and the projects it would fund. The four meetings will take place:

·         March 23, Redmond High School cafeteria,  6:30-8:00 pm

·         March 22, Juanita High School cafeteria, 6:30-8:00 pm

·         March 29, Lake Washington High School commons, 6:30-8:00 pm

UPDATED: Redmond Council considers increasing duration and frequency of neighborhood homeless encampments, lowering permit costs

After a unanimous recommendation by the Planning Commission, the City Council is now considering increasing the duration and frequency of neighborhood homeless encampments and lowering permit costs.  So far, surrounding cities don't appear as accommodating to encampments. According to staff and/or commissioners, Redmond is taking a "leadership role."

Encampment duration is proposed to increase from 4 months to 6 months. Encampments are proposed for six months each year at each site (eg.St Jude's Parish) on a five year permit.  My family lives 1/4 mile from St. Jude's Parish so it's probable our quality of life will be affected.  St. Jude encampments are located caddy-corner to Redmond Middle School.

The Redmond Reporter has not reported on this development.  I posted an encampment discussion on two Education Hill Facebook Groups. Only a few (of hundreds) chatted about the specifics of Council's proposed ordinance. Most chatted about the pros and cons of Ed Hill encampments and in general it was hard conclude where the community stood.   .

 Council's encampment deliberations during their February 23 meeting are found in this video:  http://redmond.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=698are.

The subject is not on Council's March 1 meeting agenda.  The public can still influence Council's decision by writing to them at:  MayorCouncil@redmond.gov or attending their next business meeting and speaking at Items. They are presently trying to decide how to regulate and set rules for the encampment orgainizers (Share/Wheel and Camp Unity.)
