Kirkland City Council looks disastrous in July
Kirkland City Council looks disastrous in July
July 14, 2008 6:08 pm

After watching its July 1 meeting on streaming video, you have to wonder: Are some members of the Kirkland City Council credible elected officials? Or do they just try to play them on TV?

We bought our house in 1989 in Kirkland’s Bridle Tree neighborhood. Near Bridle Trails State Park, the development featured large stands of trees left everywhere.

Child safety missing from July 4 parade
Child safety missing from July 4 parade
July 7, 2008 6:50 pm

Child safety should always be a priority during any public event where children are present. Child safety was not a priority on Third Street during the Fourth of July parade this year. Children between the approximate ages of five and nine years old were allowed to stand 10 and sometimes 20 feet from the curb during the second half of the parade.

Had Kendall Watson attended any of the meetings at City Hall prior to the first big public hearing? I’ve been at nearly all of the Design Review Board and Planning Commission sessions. My impression and opinion (and strictly my own) is that at all meetings prior to the big one, very few people spoke in favor of Touchstone’s Plan (now labeled “B”).

Our city’s wild side
Our city’s wild side
By Carrie Rodriguez • July 2, 2008 1:00 am

Kirkland, it seems, might be a little wilder than you think. Most locals are probably familiar with the downtown’s nightly commitment to revery — a situation that helps make Kirkland one of the DUI capitols of the state — but did you know the city is also home to a veritable “who’s who” of North America’s signature animals?

I’ve covered a variety of issues since I started writing this column for the Reporter. Looking back at what I’ve written, the underlying theme becomes obvious: community and community involvement. It takes a neighborhood or a village or a city to solve many of the issues a community faces.

Kirkland’s identity crisis: big or small?
By Carrie Rodriguez • June 16, 2008 6:08 pm

Should the city grow up and out through annexation and new, bigger developments? Or should it put on the brakes and maintain its small-town suburban feel?
It’s an interesting time, indeed, with Kirkland currently working through an identity crisis.

If Kirkland expands downtown, couple is leaving
If Kirkland expands downtown, couple is leaving
June 9, 2008 6:22 pm

Our small complex of six buildings of four units each (Kirkland Parkplace Condominiums behind the Post Office) was purchased because we loved the location, the quiet, the ease to access the downtown area of art galleries, eateries, waterfront, freeways, etc.
In the 19 years we have been residents here the town has taken on a much different feel, and with the proposed additions and rezoning it will be ever changed.
We will find another small town that offers those things to its residents/visitors.

Carlson raises good points that the Green movement has not come of age. But the point of the Green movement is that Western culture has not come of age. We have not used our technological advances to live in harmony or limit our damage to the planet and each other. The Green movement is at least looking to make our lifestyle sustainable. Carlson is just looking the other way.

Wanna buy a car that’s gentle on the environment? Then don’t buy a new hybrid. Are you buying organic food because it’s good for the environment? If so, you’re making a mistake. Those are just two of the 10 claims made by the writers at WIRED magazine in its lead story: “Inconvenient Truths: Get Ready to Rethink What it Means to be Green.”
