Many families � ock to downtown Kirkland for the Fourth of July pa-rade. During the summer, Kirkland Uncorked brings wine enthusiasts and food connoisseurs to downtown Kirkland, while car collec-tors visit for the Kirkland Classic Car Show. Music lovers have the Kirkland Summer Concert Series.

But a group of Kirkland residents is preparing to bring a new and more in-clusive event to downtown - Kirkland SummerFest. � e event is expected to draw more than 10,000 people.

“� is was the brainchild of dozens of highly involved Kirkland citizens to cel-ebrate all the good things about Kirkland,” said local blogger Rob Butcher, who is the co-chair of the event along with Market Neigh-borhood chair Michelle Sailor. “All the volunteers are trying to put Kirkland’s best foot forward.”

Kirkland SummerFest will be free to the pub-lic and will take place in downtown Kirkland on August 10-11. � e event is currently looking for volun-teers, entertainers, vendors and business sponsors.

“� e presenting spon-sors are the Kirkland auto dealers and it bene� ts the Lake Washington Schools Foundation,” said Butcher.

One staple of Kirkland’s summer events, the Rotary Duck Dash, will move to SummerFest.

“� e Rotarians have a wonderful history with the Fourth of July Parade,” said Butcher. “But they wanted an opportunity to spend the Fourth of July with their families. Plus, this gives them an extra month to raise donations. It is an honor to be working with them.”

Organizers have an ambi-tious event schedule that includes: Shakespeare in the Park, a SummerFest Re-gatta, various kids’ events, live music, 15 gourmet food trucks, Art in the Park and a baseball game at Peter

New Kirkland Costco gas station to open in MaySite is last in state to build fuel station, will ultimately have more parking stallsBY MATT PHELPS

The construction in the Kirkland Costco parking lot can be

seen from the freeway. Big machines tearing up the asphalt to make way for a parking lot expansion is not generally a very interesting topic. But when it is part of a project that has to do with discount gas – that is a story.

� e business that was

once headquartered in Kirkland is � nally building a gas station to the delight of customers.

“I’ll use it,” said Red-mond resident Iola Stetson, who shops at the Kirkland Costco. “We use the Wood-inville (Costco gas station) and it is 30 cents cheaper.”

But it has been a long time coming as the Kirk-land location was the last in Washington State to get a gas station, said John McKay, executive vice

president COO of Costco’s Northern Division and mid-west region.

“� e city was pretty good to work with,” noted McKay. “(� ere was) the lake and a number of other mitigating circumstances. � ere was some hesitancy on our part.”

Costco is in the pro-cess of building the new discount gas station in the parking lot directly north of the main building. Costco management con� rmed an

open date of May 24. “Most Costco gas stations

are six or eight pumps – this will be a 10-pump gas station. � is is a fairly large one,” said Wayne Bowman of Ferguson Construction.

Ferguson Construction broke ground on the project on March 26 and recently installed the three gigantic gas tanks, two for unleaded and one for premium gas. A fourth tank will be placed soon for additives that go

Kirkland’s Ramos ends campaign for 48th District seatBY CARRIE WOOD

[email protected]

Mexican-born small business owner San-tiago Ramos announced Tuesday he is ending his bid for state representa-tive, Pos. 2 in the 48th Legislative District.

“My business has been

picking up in the last couple months to the point where I would not have the time I believe it will take to run a competitive legislative campaign,” said Ramos in a press release. “I will continue to look at public service because I want to give back to

a community that has been such a big part of my life. However, I have decided now is not that time.”

The Kirkland resident and Democrat launched his campaign in March and was set to challenge Bellevue resident Cyrus Habib, also a Democrat.

That leaves Habib as the only candidate so far who is running for Pos. 2, which was held by Kirkland resident Rep. Deb Eddy.

Eddy announced in March that she will not run for another term in the state Legislature.

HOW A FAMILY-OWNED FERRY SERVICE IS

GOING THE DISTANCE FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS — AND THE SEATTLE ECONOMY.

To learn more about what we’re doing to help strengthen the local economy, visit bankofamerica.com/Seattle

For more than 25 years, the iconic red-and-blue Clipper � eet has been ferrying commuters and vacationers alike between Seattle, Victoria, B.C. and the spectacular San Juan Islands. To keep the � eet as modern and comfortable as possible for passengers, Clipper Vacations began working with Bank of America in 2007. We initially helped by restructuring loans that enabled engine upgrades, allowing the � eet to reach speeds of up to 30 knots. More recently, we provided � nancing to modernize the � eet’s interior cabins. It’s a relationship that’s not only helping to get Seattle residents where they need to go — it’s also helping to generate local economic growth: the family-owned � eet employs 150 people. Clipper is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in the Puget Sound — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $222 million in new credit to small businessesin Washington — an increase of 28% from 2010.

Each month QFC is proud to support an organization that is making a positive impact on our community and our world. In April, we are pleased to continue our association with The Nature Conservancy as our Charity of the Month. This is a partnership that goes back over 20 years. The Nature Conservancy is doing important work to preserve plant and animal biodiversity in every state in the U.S. and over 30 countries around the world.

For over a decade, The Nature Conservancy has been using a collaborative, science-based approach combined with key analytical methods to decide where to work and what to conserve. This approach is called Conservation by Design. The concepts of Conservation by Design include: setting goals and priorities, developing strategies, taking action and measuring results. Using these concepts, The Conservancy focuses on finding the highest priority solutions in places where they can have the greatest impact.

There are four priority targets in Washington which the Conservancy has been working on. These targets are: clean up Puget Sound, restore Washington Coast salmon

runs, restore forest lands in Eastern Washington and preserve Washington State sagelands.

The Nature Conservancy notes that “Puget Sound is slowly dying from toxic runoff, changes in the quality and quantity of fresh water, continued loss of natural shorelines and the effects of rising sea levels.” To clean up and protect the Sound, the Conservancy is working to reduce toxic runoff and to make conservation more profitable for for farmers, timber managers and shellfish growers, and the lands and waters they manage. It is working to protect and restore important rivers and shorelines to safeguard the clean water and habitat they provide.

The numbers of wild salmon on the Washington coast have plummeted over the last few decades. Salmon need the clear, cold waters of Northwest rivers in order to spawn and survive. Protecting salmon on the coast becomes possible by restoring and protecting the rivers where they spawn. Recently, the Conservancy purchased 3,088 acres in a corridor along the Clearwater River and plans to restore the forests along the river. This restoration work will provide jobs and create an

environment that will help in salmon recovery.

Restoring forests in eastern Washington is also one of the Conservancy’s priorities. Large-scale restoration projects will help protect habitat for wildlife and strengthen the overall ecosystem to protect against mega-fires and insect outbreaks. The Conservancy works with local communities and with public and private managers across ownership boundaries to pursue beneficial forest management practices.

Washington’s sagelands contain hundreds of unique plant and animal species.

Unfortunately, two-thirds of these natural environments in Washington are gone due to ranching, agriculture or other development. The Conservancy is working with farmers and ranchers to restore sagelands and to provide a place for wildlife to roam free.

The Nature Conservancy is working to preserve and protect our natural heritage for future generations. If you would like to contribute to their efforts you can do so at your local QFC during the month of April. If you have comments or questions, please contact Ken Banks at [email protected] or call 425-462-2205.

into the fuel. � e company began the

work on the gas station in 2009 when they applied for changes with the City of Kirkland.

“� e zoning regulations were amended for gas station use,” said City of Kirkland Senior Planner Janice Coogan. “� ey even met with the neighbor-hood association up there several years ago. � is has been in the works for quite a few years.”

But the work comes with some conditions from the city. Costco has to install sidewalks from 120th Ave. N.E. to 123rd Ave. N.E. on N.E. 90th Street. “� ey are also improving the pedestrian walkway on N.E. 90th Street to Slater Ave. N.E.,” said Coogan. “� ey are recon� guring the existing parking lot and adding landscaping.”

� e recon� guration of the parking lot will also give the store more park-ing than it started with, said McKay.

Costco has also agreed to upgrade the crosswalk from the main building to a small parking lot they own across 120th Ave. N.E. with pedestrian lights.

� e business had to submit a tra� c impact

study to the city. � e tra� c impacts are not as great compared to a new business being built because patrons of the business have to be Costco members and most are already there to do other shopping.

But McKay did not deny that it will add more tra� c to the area.

“It’s already con-gested, who cares,” said Stetson.

Other customers were not worried because the gas station will be at the northern-most point of the parking lot.

“I am not worried about the parking, they will be waiting in line for gas,” said Costco member Gayle Guthrie.

Neighbors in the area voiced their concern back in 2009 and 2010 when Costco submitted the proposal to the city.

� e company expects more memberships as a result of the new gas sta-

tion.“We get a few

sign-ups from new folks,” said McKay.

Costco got its start in Seattle but

was headquartered in Kirkland from 1987-

1996 before moving to Issaquah. Its signature line of products, Kirkland, are named for the city. Costco has 568 stores in 40 states and on four continents.

McKay said that the company considers the Kirkland location as one of its marquee stores.

Bigotry is alive and well

How exciting it is to see that bigotry is alive and well. Mr. Jared’s proposal (Gay Marriage, April 6) that we overturn civil rights laws and roll the clock back a few decades to allow for unbridled discrimination is brilliant and will surely be welcomed by enlightened citizens. Perhaps from atop Mr. Jared’s libertarian high horse, he cannot see that we live in a society and are not 311 million autonomous free-� oating entities.

I wonder if Pastor Hutcherson has pondered a scenario wherein every private enterprise that does not discriminate against minorities would refuse to associate with bigots. People who share the pastor’s (clearly non-Christian) beliefs would � nd themselves living cold and alone in a commune somewhere far away. � is, of course, is not the case. Virtually all shopkeepers, lenders, and landlords do associate with bigots and libertar-ian columnists, not because they condone the self-righteous, hateful lifestyle but because tolerance is the right thing to do. Although Mr. Jared would assert that it is a property right to put up “Christians and Libertarians Unwelcome” signs, I think he can be glad that reasonable people do not. It cuts both ways, gents.Seth! Leary, Kirkland

Je� Jared’s commentary was hateful

I was very disturbed and disap-pointed to read the commentary writ-ten by Je� E. Jared in your newspaper on April 6, especially given that he stated that he originally wrote a col-umn in support of legalizing gay mar-riage. Nobody is forcing an associa-tion with anybody, and the idea that this commentary even got printed is appalling to me, and I am sure that it is to many other people as well.

If I were to run a small business, or rent my basement or need a nanny I would not be allowed to discriminate against a Christian person. I also wouldn’t want to discriminate against that person if they were the right per-son to patronize my business, be my tenant or look a� er my child. Closing o� a whole portion of society is not only narrow-minded, but it is also abominable to imagine that it is even a consideration in this day and age, in this country.

Also, if the entire commentary that was printed about the “forced as-sociation” between Christians and gay people had the word “gay” replaced with any of a range of other words, would it be printed in any newspaper? Try rewriting the commentary replac-ing the word gay with the word black,

Hispanic, Jewish, Mexican, Muslim or the name of any other group and see if it is still something that you can feel good about printing.

� is law does go into the private lives of people, it goes into the private lives of regular citizens of this state that just happen to be gay. It goes right into their lives and makes them a valid and equal member of society with equal recognition just like het-erosexual people.

It allows their children to feel that their parents are equally valid and it lets them be able to say that their parents are married. It allows them to stand up in front of their friends, fam-ily, coworkers and each other and pro-fess their love for each other. It does not go into the lives of anyone else and change them at all. When this law goes into place everyone will wake up the next morning and nothing will be di� erent at all with the exception that one more discrimination will be removed from society.

Mr. Jared points out the protections that have been written into law to state that religious organizations will not be forced to carry out these mar-riages. I understand his concern about other organizations being potentially “forced” to serve someone that they are not comfortable with, but I don’t think that this is really going to be an issue. LGBT people, in the main, want to do business with the people

that they feel most comfortable with. I would also say that the majority of business people want to do business with people who are going to bring them money. I am sure that they are going to welcome our dollars with open co� ers - and if not then we are not going to support their business. � ere are going to be plenty of other Christian businesses out there that will welcome our dollar.

Also, the idea of a private family inviting only a certain group of people to a party has nothing to do with laws - it is about people inviting their friends to come to their house. If they only have a certain type of people as their friends then that is all that they will invite.

I have a wide range of di� er-ent friends and they are all equally welcome in my home. I know straight people and gay people, religious people and non-religious people, black, white, Asian and all other types of people. It makes for a much more interesting life than just sticking with the same groups that you belong to - I enjoy the diversity that my life contains.

Please, consider the deeper rami� cations of what you print in this newspaper in the future. I am all for allowing people to have freedom of speech, but this type of article is hate-ful and nothing else.Shaun Kelly, Kirkland

Many of us have heeded police o� cers’ advice to make our vehicles less attractive to thieves.

Store your valuables out of sight or take them out of the car if you can. Do not leave purses or briefcases where potential thieves can see them.

Apparently, this may not be enough anymore.The Eastside – including Kirkland – has been hit with a series

of motor vehicle prowl and burglary incidents during the past few weeks.

Police believe several recent cases involving similar scenarios may indicate thieves are using a new strategy to burglarize homes.

Here’s the scenario: A person goes out to see a movie or eat at a restaurant and parks their car. A thief prowls their car and takes the person’s vehicle registration. Police believe the registration informa-tion is used to draw thieves to the unoccupied homes.

The Kirkland Police Department has seen at least two of these incidents in the past few weeks, says Sgt. Rob Saloum.

“There has de� nitely been an increase (in these cases) recently,” he said.

In one case, someone’s car was prowled while parked in Kirkland and then the thief burglarized their Woodinville home. Another victim’s car was prowled while parked in Woodinville, and then the thief burglarized their Kirkland home while it was unoccupied, said Saloum.

Redmond also recently had a string of these incidents. In one of

the cases, the victim was a Medina resident but their car was broken into while in Redmond.

In another case, a vehicle was broken into in the parking lot of the Regal Bella Bottega movie theater in Redmond and then the victim’s home in unincorporated King County just outside of Redmond was burglarized.

In a third incident, A Redmond resident’s car was prowled while in the parking lot of a Woodinville movie theater. While the victim’s home was not burglarized, Redmond police say they received a report of suspicious circumstances in that neighborhood, which may have been tied to the vehicle prowl.

Redmond police said they are aware of more incidents in at least nine neighboring jurisdictions, including Bellevue, Issaquah and Bothell.

The best thing you can do is keep your vehicle registration information on your person and not in your vehicle, said Saloum. Go through all the contents of your car and make sure there is nothing with your home address or other identifying information on it.

Also, if you are a victim of a vehicle prowl, let police know if your registration information is missing so that they may make sure your home is safe.

Protect yourself. Don’t be a victim – twice.

Kirk Park.Butcher said the aim is to

create a family-friendly event that celebrates the arts and music and pro-motes economic vitality in down-town Kirkland.

� e Kirkland SummerFest name is the same as an event that took place in down-town Kirkland, but stopped many years ago.

“We are really entirely di� erent, di� erent events, di� erent approach,” said Butcher. “� e only thing that is the same is the name and the venue.”

One of the features that sets SummerFest apart from Kirkland Uncorked and the Classic Car Show is its focus on family events.

“We are a free family-oriented event,” said Butcher, whose wife, Kate, is also helping to organize the event. “We are going to have six hours of kids’ events.”

Organizers are planning art, music, clowns, face painting, in� atable toys, story time and “Touch a Truck,” as a part of the Kids Corner

events on Saturday a� ernoon, which will be organized by Kirk-landers Sue and Santos Contreras.

� e Seattle Shake-speare Company will perform “� e Winter’s Tale,” at the Pavilion in Marina Park. � e SummerFest Regatta will take place at Anthony’s Home-port on the Kirkland waterfront. Organizers are planning for three music locations, a main stage at Marina Park, a stage at Park Lane and Street Music

at Park Lane. Marina Park will also be

the place to see special art shows that feature sculptures and Plein air artists.

SummerFest will also have things for adults, such as a beer garden.

Some of the groups that are lending their support to the event are the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Com-

merce, Kirkland Downtown Association, Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods, Kirkland Arts Council and Kirkland Performance Center.

Butcher, along with many of the other organizers, pre-sented the news of the event to the Kirkland City Council on April 3. � e council is cur-rently considering supporting the event with a grant.

“Any support from the city would be positive,” said Butcher. “We have been overjoyed by the support we have received thus far from the city.”

� e city lost one of its major events last fall when the Kirkland Concours d’Elegance moved to Tacoma.

“� at was part of the impetus,” said Butcher. “It happened to present an op-portunity.”

Recently opened Zero One Vint-ners is a hidden treasure in down-town Kirkland. It is tucked behind Lake Street in the vicinity of An-thony’s Home Port. It is well worth the search.

Owners � omas and Kristin Vogele chose the Kirkland location for sentimental reasons. � ough they are Redmond residents, they are graduates of Lake Washington High School. � e couple met and dated while in high school.

� omas has been in the wine busi-ness for 20 years. He is currently the sales manager for national accounts for Michael Mondavi’s Folio Fine Wine Partners. In the past he worked in a sales capacity for E&J Gallo, Trinchero Family Estates and Robert Mondavi. Kristin has worked in the tech industry since college. She is cur-rently on leave of absence from IBM. � e winery re� ects a blend of their professional backgrounds.

“By using a zero and one in our name, we are paying homage to the digital era that we live in,” � omas said. “Our winery is where high-tech crosses roads with a very low-tech, thousand-year-old industry.”

Zero One Vintners was born out of the idea that � omas and Kristin wanted a wine that suited their “European palate.” � e winery has been in existence since 2006 and is currently selling its fourth vintage. Wine is produced at their Kirkland

location and also at a custom-crush facility in Mattawa, in Central Wash-ington.

Zero One was the � rst winery worldwide to use technology in attaching the Microso� Tag to their labels, which allows smartphone scanning. Since then other wineries have followed suit.

Zero One is currently producing three types of wine: Wild Sky Caber-net ($30), Golden Delicious Riesling ($13) and Sauce (a merlot blend, $12). Wild Sky and Golden Delicious have consistently been rated in the 90s by Wine Spectator magazine, with Sauce capturing 88 points.

Because Zero One produces its wine in small vintages, the avail-ability is limited. Beyond the tasting room, their wines can be purchased at Pete’s Wine Shop and Esquin Wine Merchants as well as some restaurants and grocery stores.

Wild Sky Cabernet is named a� er Washington’s Wild Sky Wilderness Area, which is over 100,000 acres of pristine wilderness in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Wild Sky Cabernet is donated to the nonpro� t Leave No Trace, which educates the public about outdoor enjoyment with minimal impact.

Zero One’s choice of Leave No Trace re� ects the lifestyle of a Wash-ington resident, � omas said: “� ey hike, ski, they are outdoor people.” Wild Sky Cabernet and Leave No Trace are both a nod to the activities

that Washingtonians value in their spare time.

Zero One Vintners is releasing two new wines in May: a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon Blanc. A Syrah will be making its debut in a year.

Tasting room manager Derek Pergl said that typical visitors to Zero One right now “seem to be people cen-trally located in Kirkland out enjoying the weather, though we have had some out-of-town visitors.”

Yet Zero One is more than a tasting room.

“We are a bonded winery, which means we will be producing wine here this fall,” � omas said. A bene� t to making wine on the premises, he said, is that it provides “interactivity with our customers.”

Kristin added: “I love meeting new people and introducing them to our wines. We have received such a warm welcome from everyone who has come in. � ere is no question we made the right decision to open in downtown Kirkland.”

More informationZero One Vintners is open

� ursday and Friday from 1–6 p.m., Saturday 12-6 p.m. and Sunday 12-5 p.m. with expanded hours in the summer. Tastings are $5 and include four wines.

Eastside Audubon Paci� c Northwest plant sale

Rare plants, popular

plants, knowledgeable plant advice, habitat improvement for birds and butter� ies: Could there be any more rea-sons to shop at the Eastside Audubon Paci� c Northwest Native Plant Sale?

� e sale runs from 9 a.m.

to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 28 at Kirkland Children’s School, 5311 108th Ave. N.E., Kirkland. It is open to the public.

On the sale grounds, more than 115 plant species will be arranged in nine zones repre-senting typical local growing conditions. Knowledgeable sales sta� will help shoppers choose plants that will thrive in every area of the garden as well as attract birds and butter� ies.

“So much of Paci� c Northwest native habitat has been replaced with pavement and non-native � ora that wildlife needs us to restore some of the native plants,” says volunteer sale manager Geary Britton-Simmons,

who has bought, grown, and dug up 3,500 plants for the sale. “Locally found birds and butter� ies thrive best when they can feed upon the fruits, seeds, � owers and bugs that are found on plants and trees native to the Paci� c Northwest.”

Popular plants for sale will include Western Trillium, Woods Strawberry, and Red Huckleberry. Among the most hard-to-� nd that Britton-Simmons has procured are Common Quamash, Tiger Lily, and un-usual Black Swamp and Wild Gooseberry varieties. Plants like that just don’t turn up at commercial garden centers.

In addition to encourag-ing the restoration of native habitat for wildlife, the sale will raise funds for Eastside Audubon’s programs in con-servation and education.

Plants, shrubs and trees will be sold in containers

from 4 inches to 5 gallons, and wheelbarrows and as-sistance will be available to help purchasers with larger items. Checks, cash, Visa and MasterCard will be accepted.

Kirkland Councilman Toby Nixon selected for induction into State Open Government Hall of Fame

Toby Nixon, president of Washington Coalition for Open Government (WCOG) and a Kirkland City Council-man, has been selected for induction into Heroes of the 50 States: � e State Open Government Hall of Fame for 2012.

� e National Free-dom of Information Coalition (NFOIC) and the Society of Professional Journal-ists (SPJ) announced Nixon’s selection on April 6. � e State Open Government Hall of Fame, begun in 2003, was de-veloped by national leaders of SPJ and NFOIC to recognize the contributions made by open government advocates in individual states.

� is year’s formal induc-tion ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 12, at a

luncheon during the 2012 FOI Summit at the Madi-son Concourse Hotel and Governor’s Club in Madison, Wis., hosted by NFOIC and the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council.

Nixon, who also served in the Washington state House of Representatives from 2002-2006, is only the second elected o� cial to be selected for the State Open Govern-ment Hall of Fame.

During his time as a Washington legislator, he sponsored 13 bills supporting

more open govern-ment and also served as a ranking member of the House Committee on State Govern-ment Operations and Accountability, which under his leadership passed 17 election reform

bills.“Toby is the twel� h overall

inductee since the ‘Heroes’ Hall of Fame was begun, but only the second elected o� cial chosen,” said Kenneth F. Bunting, executive director of NFOIC. “Government works better, and people in Washington state are more

informed, because of Toby’s work as a legislator, as a municipal o� cial and as an extremely hard-working and dedicated o� cer of WCOG.”

Nixon was nominated by the WCOG, the state mem-ber organization of NFOIC for which he has served as president since 2007. During his time at WCOG, he has built the organization into one of the most e� ective state coalitions in the country. � e organization played an instrumental role in the 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Doe v. Reed, which a� rmed a lower court ruling that disclosure of the identity of petition signers does not violate the First Amendment.

WCOG has also � led nine amicus briefs to support other open government cases in Washington Appellate Courts, tracked over 75 bills in the Washington State Legislature, and signi� cantly expanded public outreach by hosting an annual Washing-ton State Open Government Conference.

Fighting numerous appeals and court cases to ensure the release of the public records, Nixon’s hard work in the Doe v. Reed case paid o� when in November, 2011, the records were � nally released to the public.

Induction into � e State Open Government Hall of Fame signi� es the “long and steady e� ort to preserve and protect the free � ow of infor-mation about state and local government that is vital to the public in a democracy.”

A committee that includes a representative of SPJ, a representative of NFOIC, and at least one additional at-large member evaluates all nomi-nations. Each year, judging commences a� er Sunshine Week in mid-March. To ensure the integrity of the process, judges only become known to each other in the latter stages of the judging process.

Nixon has been praised for his coalition-building as well as his successes as an open government advocate. Tony Pederson said, “Toby Nixon is a treasure for the state of Washington for his extraor-dinary focus on freedom of information. His e� orts over an extended period of time have involved working at ev-ery level of government and with numerous constituen-cies to build consensus on the importance of transparency and open government.”

In recognition of his com-mitment to open govern-ment and public information issues, Nixon also won the 2006 Freedom’s Light Award from the Washington News-paper Publishers Association.

Construction of a new $26.5 million science, tech-nology, engineering and math (STEM) high school in Redmond will not be completed in time for the start of the 2012-13 school year following a delay in the permitting process, the Lake Washington School

District recently announced last week.

As a result, LWSD’s new choice school will open in the fall of 2012 in a temporary setup at Eastlake High School in Samma-mish — approximately four miles from the planned STEM school site near Alcott Elementary School in southeast Redmond.

Delays in the required

permits have pushed the completion of the � rst phase of the three-phase STEM school project until late fall or early winter, forc-ing the district to house up to 300 STEM students — all ninth or 10th graders — at Eastlake in the meantime.

“I know the Eastlake sta� , students and parents will be gracious hosts for their STEM school counter-parts during this short-term stay,” LWSD Superintendent Dr. Chip Kimball said in a press release. “I recognize the inconvenience involved and appreciate their under-standing.”

Two appeals to the new school site’s conditional use permit were � led last December and denied last week, according to the press release.

Construction of the school’s � rst phase can begin a� er a 21-day waiting period if there are no more

legal challenges, according to district communications director Kathryn Reith. If there are no further legal challenges or construction delays, the district is aim-ing to open the � rst phase of the new STEM school to students sometime in November, said Reith.

� e district will provide bus transportation to STEM school students between their home high school and Eastlake and that bus service will continue once the STEM school opens, Reith said.

She added that the district has already done “a lot of tra� c work,” includ-ing the addition of a second entrance, at Eastlake in preparation for the new freshman on campus as the district switches to a four-year high school con� gura-tion starting next fall.

Kirkland to host ceremony of new rail corridor

On Friday, April 13, Kirkland will realize a vision for a trail and transit corridor that has been decades in the making when the land purchase of 5.75 miles of the Eastside Rail Corridor by the City of Kirkland from the Port of Seattle will be � nal.

Purchase of the Cross Kirkland Corridor ensures that the land will stay in public ownership and all future decisions about developing this corridor will be made by Kirkland residents and elected o� cials. City o� cials invite the public to a special dedication ceremony on Saturday, April 14. Kirkland City Council members will be unveiling “Welcome to the Cross Kirkland Corridor” signs at the north end and south end of the corridor and will host a reception with the Port of Seattle at Google, 747 Sixth St. South, at 11 a.m.

� e � rst sign unveil-ing will occur at 10 a.m. near the tracks located at Slater Avenue N.E./132nd Avenue N.E.; parking is available in the business complex adjacent to the tracks. � e second unveil-ing will occur at 10:30 a.m. near the tracks at 108th Ave. N.E.; parking is avail-able at the South Kirkland

Park and Ride. � e reception will be

held in the outdoor court-yard at Google and Mayor Joan McBride will present Port of Seattle o� cials with a ceremonial check in the amount of $5 million. Public parking is available onsite. For more informa-tion, visit www.kirklandwa.gov/crosskirklandcorridor.

“� e corridor purchase is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all current and future generations of Kirkland residents because of its connectivity to schools, parks, businesses,

and neighborhoods,” noted McBride.

“Kirkland is one of the most livable communities in the region and the cor-

ridor will bring great bene� ts to those who
