Come and voice your opinion about the open space field at St. Edward State Park in Kenmore!
Kenmore wants to place an artificially lighted artificial turf Little League field in place of the grassy open space where deer, frogs, bats, birds and nature reside, where people walk and picnic in relative peace and quiet, where the skies are dark at night, and where teams play games and camps conduct environmental education. Speak up on June 12, 2017 at public comment, if you wish. Thank you!

As requested in the pre-hearing conference Friday February 3, 2017 petitioners have revised their list of legal issues.

The revised list and Declaration of Service is attached.

As Ecology and WSDOT have taken the position that our appeal was not timely filed, in spite of meeting the City of Seattle’s noticed deadline, we are unable to support Ecology’s withdrawal at this time.

Respectfully,

Carl Stixrood for Petitioners

On behalf of PERK, at the Washington State Legislature hearing in Olympia yesterday, I testified in favor of HB 1028 regarding the asphalt fumes issue in Kenmore.

I delivered our letters of support, authored by PERK members, to the Committee.

The mayor of Kenmore was there to testify “PRO” along with Representative Gerry Pollet who coauthored the bill with Representative Jessyn Farrell.

Here is a video of that session (Our suppporting testimony starts about 11 minutes in).

Please take the time to submit your comments to our reps on this bill

We hope to have a citizen meeting in the next 3 weeks to talk with our community and decide what actions to take next.

Thank you.
Elizabeth

Please attend the meeting on Jan 5 at Bastyr University and please ask Park Commissioners to stop any and all significant adverse environmental impacts to St. Edward State Park’s natural habitats, by either Mr. Daniel’s hotel project or the other project by City of Kenmore to replace the grass field with artificial lighted ballfield, something that would eliminate the darkness needed by birds/amphibians, plants to stay natural.

We must protect our nature by assessing the cumulative impacts of the hotel+the artificial ballfield. Thanks to John Hendrickson, we proved the city did not utilize best available science in promoting the artificial lighted ballfield, but we need to hold strong to protecting nature by not letting the hotel be accepted without first requiring the Daniels project require protection of the natural habitat surrounding the hotel project.

Further info available at Citizens For St. Edward State Park web site.

Dear All,

See attached PDF letter.
And please attend Dec 12 2016 Council meeting at Kenmore City Hall to learn more.

Thank you.

Ms. Eccles,

It is our understanding, according to the previously issued schedule, the Final Decision was due yesterday, November 28, 2016, in the above-referenced matter. Dawn Reitan, attorney for the City of Kenmore, is wondering if it is possible to email the decision to all parties, provided it was issued yesterday. We have not yet received a copy.

Help us bring all the scary 520 bridge demolition evidence to a tipping point by making it plain to see by all on an interactive map.

There are essentially two types of data that are helpful to populate in the map:

REPORTS

Reports are user submitted input, that is shared directly on the map. E.g. Questions, Ideas, Observations, Complaints, Comments, Photos, etc.

To add a report, go to http://lakewashington.us/place/605 and hit the big orange button that says “PUT A COMMENT ON THE MAP”.

Mark your location (by dragging the map), fill out the form, upload a photo if you can, and hit “SUBMIT”.

LANDMARKS

Landmarks highlight key areas and provide general information. An example of a landmark is the dioxin report from Army Corps of Engineers here.

Landmarks give you more power for customization, so we can embed YouTube videos in them, make photo galleries, include special buttons and hyperlinks etc.

Currently only map administrators can add landmarks. We are working on a self service editor, but for now we are using a simple Google Doc system. All you have to do is add the information you want into this spreadsheet.

As landmarks entries are added to the table, they will be periodically imported into the map.
