I think it’s disingenuous to say “the legal battle between the city of Kirkland and Potala Village…” The problem was caused by the city and it’s incompetent elected officials in the first place.
Of course we are pleased to have the decision of the Court of Appeals [on Potala Village] upheld by the Supreme Court’s denying to review the case.
I’ve been criticized by many that I’m always not nice. There’s a reason.
It’s not every day that we get a chance to make a difference. Whether big or small, it’s an opportunity we must cherish. And right now we have that opportunity right in front of us.
When did stopping at stop signs become optional? I have watched a disturbing trend over the past several years where drivers feel a left turn against a red light, or a failure to stop (or, in many instances, even slow down) when making a “right-turn on red” is perfectly acceptable – if they don’t get caught.
A National Border Patrol union member wrote the Citizen congratulating Congresswoman Suzan DelBene for sponsoring a bill that supported border protection.
Students in the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) are settling into the second semester of the school year.
Let me try to understand why the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is installing tolling equipment on the I-405 north and south corridor.
I read with great interest the recent letter to the editor of the Reporter, “The Science and Comedy of Kirkland’s Proposed Bag Ban.” The writer attempts to discredit environmentalists in order to persuade the City Council to take no regulatory action. Wishing away the impact of reusable bags is not scientific, he says.
The efforts being put forth by the city of Kirkland and our firefighters to provide excellent service to the Kirkland communities are vital and worthwhile. However, when I drive through the heart of the Kingsgate area and see the only fire station with a for sale sign out front, I feel that something has run a muck.
The Transportation Commission has requested input regarding the implementation of proposed changes with I-405. I feel compelled to comment on several items.
Kudos to Mr. Todd Myers for bringing common sense to the misguided cause du jour movement to ban plastic bags.
My new heroes are the firefighters at station 27 in Kirkland.
Overcrowding in the schools of the Lake Washington District is a part of the many repercussions of a twice failed 2014 bond proposal. Solutions agreed upon by the Lake Washington School Board at the Jan. 26 meeting have furthered the folly.
Plastic bags litter our environment and kill our marine life …
The Juanita Neighborhoods Association wants to offer you some money.
For those you who apply for a position on an advisory board, don’t be deceived with how important your ideas are. The Kirkland City Council only selects people who think like the council. If you have different ideas other than the council, you will not be selected.
In my 12 years growing up in the Lake Washington School District, I never attended a school that had a school garden program. This is not uncommon: of the nine high schools, nine middle schools and 13 elementary schools I contacted in the district, only about a third of them have school gardens which students have the opportunity to participate in directly.
According to the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Washington ranks as the seventh best state for animal protection laws. But its rating may soon take a dive if HB 1104 passes.
Thank you for the generally excellent coverage of the school district reboundary process. This has been a long and arduous process, and as the board member representing southern Kirkland, I do appreciate the attention that the community has given to this issue.
