Kirkland Fire Chief Kevin Nalder steps down, Sanford interim chiefBY TJ MARTINELL
tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
A� er being on ex-tended family medi-cal leave, Kirkland
Fire Department Chief Kevin Nalder has decided to step down.
Nalder, who has been on leave for two months, stepped down on Friday, according to Deputy City Manager Marilynne Beard.“I
am really proud of Kevin Nalder,” said Kirkland Mayor Amy Walen. “He saw us through some di� cult times.”
Walen cited Nalder’s involvement in the 2011 an-nexation and his implemen-tation of a new Fire Strategic Plan.
“With annexation he took on nine new � re� ghters and had received more since,” Walen said. “We just wish
him the best with his family situation.”
Joe Sanford, who has been acting chief since Nalder went on leave, was appointed interim � re chief on Aug. 8.
“Sanford has been doing a great job as interim chief and has a great relation-ship with union leadership,” said Councilmember Toby
Nixon, who also served as the � re commissioner of
Fire District 41. “And I expect that to continue.”
Councilmem-ber Dave Asher expressed similar support for Sanford.
“I have full faith that Joe will be a great interim chief,”
he said.Walen said that she has
tremendous con� dence in Sanford.
“In my opinion, I think Joe should run the department,” Walen said. “He has the con� dence of all the � re� ght-ers; he came up through the ranks and is very respected.”
Nalder was appointed in 2009 when � re chief Je� Blake retired. Previously, Nalder had been the deputy chief with the Salt Lake City Fire Department. He started
out his career in 1985 as a � re� ghter in Utah.
Before he went on leave, Nalder was involved in the city’s e� orts to improve � re service in various neigh-borhoods as part of their Fire Strategic Plan, which included siting a new north end � re station and/or im-proving existing � re stations and operations.
“He’s been tackling a great

Junior Softball World Series brings thousands to Kirkland BY MATT PHELPS
mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
� e annual Junior So� ball World Series, a Little League International event, drew thousands to Kirkland’s Everest Park last week, including the nationally televised � nal on Saturday between Florida, of the Southeast region, and the Philip-pines, of the Asia-Paci� c region, on ESPN. And while Florida dominated, winning the champion-ship 9-2 and completed the tournament undefeat-ed at 7-0, there were some surprises that came from this year’s competition.
“Over all, it has gone very smooth,” said tour-nament director John Chadwick. “� ere was a big discrepancy between the top teams and the other teams this year on the � eld but it has been fun for all the players.”
Florida scored in dou-ble � gures during all but two games and won each of its � rst four games by 10 runs or more, includ-ing two shutouts.
In all, the World Series hosted 34 games from Aug. 2-8.
One of the biggest ad-ditions this year was the Little League Challenger Division exhibition game. � e Challenger teams are made up of young players with physical or intellec-tual challenges. Chad-wick said that one of his organizers has a big part in developing the division in the Puget Sound area.
“Little League is trying to give the Challenger Division more exposure and we thought it would be great to have them,” Chadwick said. “It was hugely popular. I saw people in the stands with tears in their eyes. It was a

Chinchilla leads Henkens in City Council race, Kloba advancesBY TJ MARTINELL
tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com
Kirkland Parks Board member Jason Chinchilla has taken a slim 22-vote lead against businessman Bill Henkens in new King County Elections results released Tuesday in the primary for Kirkland City Council position No. 2. As of the Reporter’s Wednesday morning dead-line, Chinchilla has 1,767 votes, or 16.81 percent compared to 1,745 votes or 16.6 percent for Henkens. Henkens held a slim lead on elec-tion night, Aug. 4, but Chinchilla has made gains with every release of new vote totals by King County Elections.
In a press release statement, Chin-chilla said “I appreciate the support primary voters are giving me tonight and I’m hopeful that the ballots still to be counted will make me one of the top two con-tenders to come thru the
primary election.”“I believe the Ameri-
can Dream is alive and well in Kirkland – that if
you’re willing to work hard you can accomplish great goals,” he added. “It also shows voters support my com-mitment to hold the line on property taxes, to protect our diverse neighbor-hoods and to
reduce government med-dling by trusting residents to decide such questions as ‘paper or plastic; shopping bags. I plan to continue to
take my message to the voters and to-gether, we will build Kirkland’s future.”
While showing disappointment in the low voter turnout, Henkens said he is impressed with Chinchilla’s performance in the
election and anticipates his opponent will come out on top. He also said that it shows Chinchilla’s age, 19, is not a factor.

BY TJ MARTINELL

Kirkland resident and Lake Washing-ton High School
alumnus Lia Roberds got to take in part Husky row-ing history.
An upcoming junior at the University of Wash-ington, Roberds was the coxswain for the men’s four-plus crew team in May at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association (IRA) championship regatta in New Jersey. � ere, all � ve boats brought home gold medals, while the men’s varsity eight made sports history by becoming the � rst team ever to win the national title � ve times in
a row since the regatta was � rst held in 1895.
Roberds � rst got into rowing while attending Lake Washington High School, during a � ve-day summer camp with
the Sammamish Rowing Association. A life-long soccer player, she said she found a strong appeal to the unique team aspect of rowing.
“You’re all doing the same thing at the same time,” she said.
Starting competitions in the spring of her sopho-more year, she rowed until one of her coaches had her transition to coxswain, the person who steers the boat and provide instructions to the rowers. � e switch from a very physical role to a stationary one was strange at � rst, she said.
“You’re put in leader-ship role,” she said. “� at’s a weird spot between the coaches and the rowers. All of a sudden you’re not a part of the team. You’re a part of this weird spot of coaching but also being coached.”
As the person in charge of steering the boat and the only person facing for-ward, the coxswain role is more mentally-driven and requires them to respond well under pressure, she said, as well as properly time the boat’s turns on courses where minimiz-ing the course distance around buoys can make the di� erence between � rst and second place. What makes that di� cult, she said, is the slow reaction time of the boats, which she compared to driving a semi-truck.
Another important aspect of coxing, she said, is knowing how far the rowers can be pushed physically.
� e coxswain is also the only person allowed to talk during the race. Ironically, Roberds said she was shy and timid growing up, and though rowing helped her open up, through cox-ing she gradually found herself breaking out of her shell. One of the bene� ts of being a rower as well, she said, was that she knew speci� cally what she was describing when coxing.
By her junior year, with hopes of competing at a collegiate level, Roberds decided to stop rowing altogether and focus on coxing.
“� ere was no way I was going to row in college, be-ing 5-foot-1,” she said.
She also decided to switch over from the girls to coxing for the boys,

good experience.”The success of the exhibi-
tion could lead to an an-nual place in the Kirkland event said Chadwick.
An unexpected health issue also made for a tense situation early during the tournament for one of the coaches but luckily it turned out well. Language barriers can be an issue at times during the World Series games, as the 10 teams that qualified are from all over the world. Mexico was one of the only teams to have just one per-son fluent in English. That coach suffered a mild heart attack at the beginning of the week and was rushed to a hospital, leaving the team without a translator. But Chadwick said that the language barrier was not
a big problem, as the girls tend to bond during the week and helped each other through the difficult issues.
After a short stay and a few tests the coach showed how important the compe-tition was to him and his team.
“He had a heart attack but he is right back in the dugout,” said Chadwick on Aug. 6, as the Mexican team took on the Philip-pines during the quarter finals.
One of the reasons the tournament went so soothly is the performance of the host team. This year a team from Bellevue won the Washington District No. 9 championship.
“I loved talking with the girls from the Philippines,” said Bellevue starting pitcher Hanako Hirai, 13.
“We had a lot of fun and they were all really nice.”
Bellevue coach Allen Ca-bales said that this was the first Bellevue team in seven years to play host and just the second overall. A team from Kirkland qualified to host each of the past three years.
“At times it is over-whelming but they really bonded with the teams from the Philippines, Latin America and Holland,” Ca-bales said. “They just had a lot of fun.”
Bellevue did not qualify for the champion-ship bracket, finishing the week with a record of 1-5. Bellevue defeated the Philippines.
“It really surprised me just how far everyone could hit,” said Bellevue player Ren Wantanabe, 14.
The host team always has the disadvantage of taking a month off, while the other teams play games all the way through the month of July and are warmed up
heading into the tourna-ment.
“They are just sitting on their gloves for a month and practice is not the same as good competition,”
Chadwick said. The week-long tourna-
ment brings approximately 6,000 people to Kirkland, along with the national exposure from ESPN.
“I’m surprised that that many people think a 19-year-old can unseat her (Kloba),” he said. “When I started asking people - I talk to 100 people a day in my business - none of them realize he is 19. Good for him. He was able to not make it an issue.”
Incumbent Shelley Kloba has already punched her ticket to the general elec-
tion in November with 6,088 votes or 57.91 per-cent. The top-two primary for the council position has become a battle to see who will face Kloba for the seat.
“I am very pleased to have received 58 percent of the votes in a four-way primary election,” Kloba posted on her campaign’s Facebook page. “I am so grateful for the hard work of all my volunteers, for
the endorsements, and for the financial support of so many people all around the community and the region. I am thankful that you are willing to place your faith in me to get the job done….Onward we go!
Jory Hamilton is in a dis-tant fourth place with 884 votes or 8.41 percent.
The Washington Secre-tary of State has to certify the election by Aug. 21.

Utilities call for increased water conservation
The drought gripping Washington State has forced resource manage-ment utilities to move from Phase 1, reported on July 31, into the second phase of water use reduction: the Voluntary Reduction stage.
Seattle, Everett and Tacoma water districts are asking customers, both citizens and businesses alike, to reduce their water consumption by 10-per-cent.
Some ways to reduce water use include: only water lawns twice a week, allowing the lawn to go dormant; water plants after 7 p.m. to avoid excessive evaporation; keep showers
short; repair any leaking toilets, faucets or showers; and only wash full loads of clothing or dishes.
These measures are be-ing implemented to ensure that the current water supply can stretch as long as possible, as there is not a current end in sight.
If the drought gets worse, the utility compa-
nies may move to phase 3, the mandatory reduction phase, at which point it will require customers to decrease the amount of wa-ter they use even further.
Most of Seattle and the Eastside are served by Se-attle Public Utilities; North Northshore area, such as North Bothell, is served by Everett’s PUD.

National Night Out in Kirkland was again a great success
National Night Out was again a great success this year with more and more neighborhoods partici-pating. � anks go to the Kirkland Reporter for highlighting this special activity. In addition to this once-a-year awareness event, there is an ongoing program in this state called Map Your Neigh-borhood (MYN). Kirkland supports the MYN program on an ongoing basis by o� ering a short training session with materials to help individual citizens organize a neighborhood meeting in their home with 10 to 20 families living near them. Anyone can lead the meeting so don’t be shy about signing up with the city and inviting your neigh-bors over. It can be used in an apartment building or condo as well as a neighborhood of single family homes. If there is a disaster and we are without electricity and other services you will be counting on the people next door to help you. Do you know their names? Find a way to introduce yourself. Cell phone service ma y be down and the police and � re department will be taking care of emergencies in other parts of the city.
Here is what the program is all about:• Learn the “Nine Steps to Take Immediately
Following a Disaster” to secure your home and to protect your neighborhood. It is hard to think clearly following a disaster and these steps will help you to quickly and safely take actions that can minimize damage and protect lives.
• Identify the Skills and Equipment each neigh-bor has that would be useful in an e� ective disaster response. Knowing which neighbors have supplies and skills helps your disaster response be timely, and allows everyone to contribute to the response in a meaningful way.
• Create a Neighborhood Map identifying the lo-cations of natural gas and propane tanks for quick
response if needed. • Create a Contact List that helps identify those
with speci� c needs such as elderly, disabled, or chil-dren who may be home alone during certain hours of the day.
• Work together as a team to evaluate your neighborhood during the � rst hour following a disaster and take the necessary actions.
http://www.kirklandwa.gov/Page5501.aspxWe can all make Kirkland a friendly place to live
by developing a sense of community no matter what type of neighborhood we live in. We will survive the next big disaster whether it is an earth-quake, windstorm, or volcanic eruption if we make sure we are individually prepared as well as being prepared as a community.Margarette Bull, Kirkland
Post O� ce lines could get longer if Trading Post closes
Anyone who has stood in line at the Kirkland post o� ce knows how long those lines are and can be. So why is the city of Kirkland closing the Totem Lake post o� ce [the Trading Post] at the Totem Lake Mall?
� is is outrageous and anyone who hates stand-ing in that long line will now be disappointed to know that the line will be getting longer. What can the city of Kirkland be thinking?
If you would like the Totem Lake post o� ce to remain open, let the city of Kirkland know. Write a letter, visit City Hall, make phone calls.
Complain, complain, complain.I understand there is a prohibitive cost to keep-
ing the Totem Lake post o� ce open. Honestly, it can’t be that much and it would be worth every penny to the city of Kirkland and its citizens to have this service maintained. Now that the Totem Lake area has been annexed, surely the extra taxes we pay would cover this cost.
Please save our Totem Lake post o� ce.Ilene Fluckiger Kuhns, Kirkland
Editor’s note: � ere has been no independent con� rmation that the Trading Post is closing and the city of Kirkland has nothing to do with where post o� ces in the city are located.
City has nothing to do with post o� ce locations
On the few occasions when I need to mail a package via USPS, I also use the Trading Post rath-er than going all the way downtown and standing in the line at the post o� ce, and would de� nitely miss them if they close down.
But I do want you to know that the city of Kirk-land is not responsible for it closing. Totem Lake Mall, which is a privately-owned facility, is being redeveloped -- it will be torn down and a new mall built in its place. � e owner has a right to rede-velop the property, and while the city handles the building and other permits for the redevelopment, we do not control what happens with the existing businesses there, such as whether they relocate, whether they come back to the mall or remain elsewhere, or whether they close entirely.
� e Trading Post is a private business, not a city facility, so the costs of its operation are not a factor. If the owners decide that the rents in the new mall would be too high for them to move back in a� er redevelopment, that is their decision and nothing the city can control. City funds cannot be used to subsidize the costs of private businesses like this.
Writing to the city will not have any in� uence on the decisions made by the owners of Totem Lake Mall or the Trading Post -- you need to contact the owners instead.Toby Nixon, Kirkland

It is a sad day for the city of Kirkland. � e departure of both Kirkland Fire Chief Kevin Nalder and Police Chief Eric Olsen is a huge
loss for the city and they will be tough to replace. But the reason that it is di� cult to say goodbye to these men is that they both have a gigantic legacy within the city.
It is said that timing is everything and both men helped the city and citizens through one of the big-gest transitions in its history - the 2011 annexation.
Bringing the Kingsgate, North Juanita and Finn Hill neighborhoods into the fold was no small task as it nearly doubled the population of Kirkland. When most annexa-tions of this size take place the expansion of local emergency services is one of the biggest undertakings.
Nalder and Olsen helped to develop a plan for the new area to be woven into current fabric of the municipality.
Nalder, who stepped down last week for person-al reasons, became chief as the heavy li� ing for the annexation was just starting to take place in 2009. Nalder has dealt with the issues of removing and replacing � re stations, � nding good response times for the coverage area and assuming new coverage areas. I am not saying that the current con� gura-tion is perfect, but the issues that faced the depart-ment with the annexation were daunting. � e department still has work to do but most of the big changes were made under Nalder’s supervision.
Taking on 43,000 new residents is no easy task.For Olsen the issues were made even more com-
plicated as the city built a new Public Safety Build-ing in the Totem Lake neighborhood to house the police department and the municipal court.
� e Kirkland Police Department was also responsible for taking over for the King County Sheri� , an entirely new coverage area as the Sheri� only had three deputies to cover the three neigh-borhoods.
Olsen was also a very respected member of the community as a letter to the editor showed. A man
from the community wrote that Olsen helped to change his life when he was young and arrested by taking the time to talk to him about his life choices instead of just throwing him in the back of a police car and ignoring the then-boy’s future.
To these two men we say thank you and wish them nothing but the best as they move on to new chapters in their lives.
Matt Phelps is the regional editor for the Kirk-land and Bothell/Kenmore Reporter newspapers.
Thank you to Nalder and Olsen for their service

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirk-land Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers. The Kirkland Reporter police blotter is not intended to be representative of all police calls originating in Kirkland, which average about 1,000 per week.
Between July 31 - Aug 6, there were 362 traffic incidents, 21 traffic accidents, three DUIs, 42 general traffic incidents, 45 alarm calls, 10 abandoned vehicles, two burglar-ies, 13 incidents of fraud, 15 civil incidents, eight cases of harassment, 21 thefts, five vehicle prowls, two vehicle thefts, nine warrants served, 19 noise complaints, 14 animal calls, 13 incidents of domestic vio-lence, three incidents of malicious mischief, two fireworks complaints, 16 disturbances, two trespass, one sex offense, assault, four hit and runs and 37 incidents involving at least one arrest.
Aug. 6Theft: 8:41 p.m., 12400 block of Totem Lake Blvd. NE. A 26-year-old man was caught shoplifting in a Rite Aid and released at the scene with a citation.
Aug. 4Bus Conduct: 4:08 p.m., 10600 block of NE 38th Pl. A 24-year-old man was arrested for unlawful transit conduct after causing a disturbance on a bus. He was very uncooperative with officers and was transported to the King County Jail to be booked on the charge. He was immediately transported to South Correctional Entity (SCORE) due to his actions.
Assault: 1:14 p.m., 12400 block of NE 134th Pl. A 34-year-old man got into an argument with his 65-year-old mother over where her belongings were lo-cated. They eventually got into a physi-cal fight, with the man assaulting his mother. He also attempted to strangle her. She called 911 for assistance and then left the house while waiting for the police to arrive. The man was arrest-ed and booked for domestic violence.
Aug. 3Vehicle prowl: 1:06 a.m., unknown address. A 32-year-old drunk man attempted to break into a person’s Volvo to steal items from inside. While doing so, he was caught by police and arrested and booked into jail. The of-ficer also found possible cocaine on the man and charges will be filed through
investigation.
Aug. 2Protection order violation: 1:30 a.m., 200 block of Central Way. A 29-year-old man was seen by two police officers causing a scene outside of Time Out Sports Bar with other people. Upon further investigation, they discovered the man was the respon-dent of a no-contact order out of Bothell prohibiting contact with the other person he was fighting with. He was arrested and booked for the violation.
Warrant: 11:25 p.m., 12400 block of NE 116th St. A 27-year-old woman was arrested on an outstanding warrant for theft out of Tukwila. The woman was discovered when she was pulled over in a vehicle that had no license tabs.
Warrant: 10:27 p.m., NE 145th St and
Juanita-Woodinville Way NE. A 20-year-old man was arrested by officers while riding a bicycle when it was discovered he had a misdemeanor warrant for civil contempt of court out of the King County Sheriff ’s Office.
Assault: 7:42 p.m., 12100 block of NE 137th Pl. A 48-year-old man was arrested for assault after he got into physical fight with his best friend and
roommate of one year. Both men suffered
black eyes, bumps, and bruises. Police eventually
determined through other witnesses of the fight that
the man was the primary in-stigator of the fight. He was taken
into custody without incident.
Aug. 1Obstructing an officer: 11:06 p.m., 12500 block of 116th Ave Ne. A 25-year-old woman was arrested
for obstruction after Micky D’s asked that she be removed from the premise for possible drug activity in their restrooms. She refused to provide identification or give her name, which
prevented officers from preparing the trespassing warning letter. Upon later learning her identity, she was found to have a warrant out of Bellevue for forgery.
Assault: 10 p.m., 80 block of Kirkland Ave. A 23-year-old man was arrested for domestic violence after witnesses observed him push his 37-year-old girl-friend into a fence during an argument.

deal of change in the department,” Asher said of Nalder. “It’s been a really big con-tribution.
Nalder’s announce-ment comes just weeks after Police Chief Eric Olsen announced his impending retirement. According to Nixon, the city intends to focus first on select-ing a new police chief before looking for a permanent fire chief.
“We’re not as in big a hurry to find a new fire chief just because we have a very experienced one (as interim),” he said.
Nalder could not be reached for comment.

Starting this fall quarter, Northwest University will o� er a collective space for a combination of small
businesses and entrepre-neurs that has already seen success in other cities.
Located in one of the university’s vacant spaces at 6710 108th Ave. NE,
the 425 Collective will provide not just available room for small businesses and startups to rent and operate out of, but for Northwest University’s MBA students looking to get a feel for the real-life working environment and experience what startup culture is like, according to 425 Collective’s Interim Director Sam Smith.
“� e majority of the people meeting and rent-ing will be everyday busi-nesses from Kirkland, not necessarily connected to Northwest University,” he said. “It’s a collective for
Kirkland. � e creators of the col-
lective, John Quick and Jak Moroshan, are North-west University alumni, who started working on the collective when the university was looking at what to do with its vacant space a� er the previous tenant le� .
“It’s almost twofold,” he added. “To one degree, we can provide a service for the city…Secondly, we have this empty space and as a school it makes sense for us to take the oppor-tunity to run with this and have a better business
program. I think it’s a twofold win.”
� e 425 Collective was inspired by a similar working space called � e Guild, located in a Tacoma warehouse, where a dozen people work.
According to Smith, co-working space will ap-peal to smaller businesses that need a work space but either don’t have the money to a� ord bigger o� ce or only require a certain amount of space. � ese small o� ces will be wrapped around the outside of the collective, with the middle featur-
ing individual desks for entrepreneurs.
“� at’s for a person who has a really good idea, just a laptop and an idea,” he said. “� ey need a desk space for a low cost per month. For them it works out.
� e collective will also have two kitchens that can be used for meetings, in addition to two conference rooms for meetings with clients or team members. � e idea for the collective, however, is that having the di� erent groups in the same vicinity will inspire innovation.
“Everybody is working in the same space, cross-ing paths,” he said. “A lot of creativity really sparks. � ey’re thinking of new ideas. � ey can bounce ideas o� each other. � ey can interact.”

who were short of cox-swains. � e change o� ered another challenge due to the di� erent expectations they had.
“� ey all want di� erent stu� ,” she said. “Girls want constant � ow of words… Guys want it (instructions) straight and simple.”
Initially looking at out-of-state, low key colleges, Roberds said she looked at more competitive univer-sities a� er the 1-V took second out of 85 boats at the Head of � e Charles in Cambridge, Mass., the world’s largest two-day rowing event. A� er competing at a summer camp with the Univer-sity of Washington, she � nally chose to row as a Husky, as had many of her Sammamish coaches. � e transition to the collegiate level went smoothly, she said, thanks to being on the freshman team, which allowed her and her team to compete with others at the same level rather than experienced seniors. At the same time, she was struck by the tradition the team had, some going all the way back to 1936, when an all-Husky crew of eight took � rst place in the Sum-mer Olympics in Berlin. One of those traditions is that the freshman are not allowed to wear University of Washington rowing ap-parel until they’ve actually competed as a Husky.
“We have so much pride for that letter on our chest because we know how hard we worked for it,” she said.
Coxing the freshman eight, they went undefeat-ed and took the national championship. With this last season, she said the team adopted the motto
“� ve for V,” which repre-sented their desire to have their � ve boats will all � ve of their respective compe-titions at the IRA champi-onship regatta. � ey also looked for their eight-plus team to win for a record-breaking � � h time.
Coxing the four man boat, Roberds said they normally compete � rst at the regatta, but ultimately went last, a� er the other boats on their team had taken � rst. For most of the race, they trailed behind Stanford, and it seemed as though they would take second. Yet, Roberds said she was still hopeful.
“Somehow I knew it was going to be ok,” she said.
During the last part of the race, they went into their sprints. Slowly, they began creeping on Stanford. With less than 200 meters le� , she said Stanford su� ered from a slipped stroke, which caused them to slow down just enough for the University of Washington team to pass them.
For Roberds, who is majoring in engineering, the recent victory is a far cry from her timid child-hood days.
“I wouldn’t believe it at all, looking back,” she said.

� e body of a man found dead near John Muir Elementary has been identi� ed by the King County Medi-cal Examiner as that of 33-year-old Daniel Lee Dale. Dale had been a Kirkland resident, but at the time of his death was living just north of the city, according to Kirk-land Police Department
spokesperson Lt. Mike Murray.
According to Kirkland Police, although Dale had shown suicidal behavior in the past there was no evidence of any foul play, and the medical examiner has yet to determine the cause of death.
� e heat, along with the duration between the death and when the body was found, contributed to decomposition and made it di� cult for authorities
to identify Dale, though they were fairly certain at the time of the identity. Dental records were used to con� rm Dale’s identity, according to Murray.
� e original story reported Dale’s body being found near Edith Moulton Park, but the actual location was the woods near the 13300 block of NE 138th Pl., just south of John Muir El-ementary in the Kingsgate neighborhood.

The Kirkland City Council approved a development agree-
ment with Parkplace’s property owners, locking in the current municipal regulations to apply when construction is expected to take place early next year.
The development agreement with the prop-erty owner, KPP Develop-ment LLC, will remain in effect for a decade and locks in the regulations and zoning for the prop-erty at the time of the agreement, according to city of Kirkland Planning Director Eric Shields. The
project is expected to be phased in during a period of several years.
KPP Development is represented on the Park-place project by Talon Private Capital.
Talon’s Director of Investment Bill Leedom told the coun-cil at their Aug. 3 meet-ing that the development agreement was vital for providing the financial backing for the redevelopment.
“As we speak with lend-ers and potential financial partners it becomes clear-er that predictability and
stability in government regulations is important when they consider in-vesting in this project as we’re out talking to these lenders,” Leedom said.
“The proposed devel-opment agreement
will provide that predictability and stability.”
At the same time, the agreement
allows the property own-
ers to use future codes or regulations.
The agreement, however, does not apply to permit review and impacts.
In February, the council approved zoning changes to the Parkplace property as well as the Master Plan and Design Guidelines in order to allow for more residential use. After purchasing the property from Touchstone, Talon amended the Master Plan to reduce the overall size.
Bill Pollard, one of the principal owners of Talon Capital, said the site plan now includes two office buildings with retail on the ground floor. One of them will include the cur-rent QFC, which he said will be double its current size, along with other retail, while the second floor will have restau-rants. The office space, he said, will be on the upper floors of the eight-story building.
As part of the plan, one building will be residen-tial, with 225 units. The Master Plan looks to have 300 units total on the Parkplace property, 10 percent of which would be for affordable housing.
The initial phase of the project is expected to involve the two office buildings and the residen-tial, with the latter phases focusing on the Parkplace Tower and the building where the QFC is cur-rently located.
According to Leedom, the design review board has approved the con-ceptual design for the project, and they are now moving forward on the next stage of design for the first phase of the project.
The first conceptual design conference was held June 15.
Talon is expecting to break ground beginning in the first quarter of 2016.
