early estimates put the turnout at about 10,000. The event celebrates the community’s diverse population and the

Below-freezing temperatures were not enough to deter the greater Redmond community from coming out to celebrate the 15th annual Redmond Lights festival on Saturday.
From the usual wool coats, knitted caps, scarves and gloves, to the odd pairs of ski and snow pants, people bundled up in extra-thick layers to ward o� the cold and
enjoy the festivities. Some members of the canine com-munity present even donned sweaters to stay warm.
“� is is my 10th (Redmond Lights) and this de� nitely is the coldest,” said Jill Smith, a business liaison for the City of Redmond, as she handed out � ink Redmond blinkers to attendees.
� is was Sanli Choe’s � rst time attending the festival but the � ve-year Redmond resident was not fazed by the cold weather. Instead, he chose to stick close to a burn

A� er a standing-room-only, � ve-hour marathon council session on Monday, which in-cluded debate on mul-tiple amendments, King County Council members removed the Redmond Ridge area from the list of places where marijuana can be grown and pro-cessed in King County.
Council members also passed regulations de� n-ing where marijuana can be grown, processed and sold in the unincorporat-ed areas of the county.
“I am very pleased that the council resolved this zoning issue,” said council member Kathy Lambert, who represents Redmond Ridge. “Marijuana pro-cessing and growing does not belong in a very dense family friendly commu-nity like Redmond Ridge. It is the most densely populated area known as an Urban Planned Devel-opment and is the only one in unincorporated King County.”
AN UNFAMILIAR DISTRICT
Lambert’s District 3 is the largest in the county. She said the other King County Council mem-bers do not deal with her district on a regular basis; some have never seen it, while others have not visited in many years. As
a result, she said, they did not realize how heavily populated some areas, such as Redmond Ridge, are.
“I see their districts more than they see my district,” Lambert said.
Redmond Ridge resi-dents were out in force for last week’s public testimo-ny and Monday’s meeting. In addition to testify-ing, they also called and emailed council members to express their concerns.
Lambert said at one point, she received up-wards of 500 emails in one day, whereas she usually receives 200-400 emails on a daily basis.
Jen Boon, president of the Redmond Ridge Resi-dential Owners Associa-tion, said Redmond Ridge residents came together “as never before” on the issue. � ey asked that “large, indoor marijuana factories not be sandwiched into (their) neighborhood, but be appropriately placed in more industrial areas, the same as any other large factory should.”
“Residents found agreement for removing exclusive neighborhood reference in the ordinance from those in our neigh-borhood and beyond,” she said. “We were especially impressed by the support, leadership and guidance of council member Kathy Lambert and Sen. Andy Hill.”

Just before 3:30 p.m. last Saturday, five Redmond Fire Department (RFD) firefighters were working on diverting the water leak on the third-floor master bedroom of one of the buildings located in The Heights at Bear Creek com-plex in the 17700 block of Northeast 90th Street.
According to a press release, due to water saturation, the entire plaster board ceiling of the bedroom collapsed onto the crew. When the crew members self-extricated themselves out of the de-bris, they realized one crew member sustained injuries to his left shoulder and leg. The injured firefighter was evacuated from the structure, then evaluated and treated by Redmond firefighters and paramed-ics from Redmond’s Medic
One. The paramedics trans-ported the injured firefight-er to EvergreenHealth.
RFD Capt. Rob Torrey told the Reporter Wednes-day that the injured fire-fighter was able to leave the hospital later that evening as nothing was broken.
“It’s much better than we thought when we were pull-ing him out,” Torrey said about his colleague. “He’s a pretty tough guy.”
Torrey said the firefighter will go back to the doctor for a followup and will be staying home to rest until they know more about his injuries.
RFD units had been busy responding to several water-related calls through-out the day, due to frozen pipes thawing.
RFD advises, “Whenever
water pipes exist in un-heated spaces like attics and crawlspaces, there is always danger of the pipes freezing this time of year. Often, fro-zen pipes go undiscovered until it warms up enough for the ice inside the pipes to melt and reveal the leaks from the ice damaged pipes.
“Your firefighters want you to know: You should locate your water shut-off valves for appliances, water fixtures and/or your domes-tic supply to your resi-dence. Be sure other family members know how to do it when you’re away from home. Your firefighters may be delayed due to numer-ous other similar calls, so the more you can do to stop the flooding, the better off your personal belongings will be.”

A 54-year-old male teacher survived a sudden cardiac arrest on Dec. 5, thanks to the efforts of co-workers at The Over-lake School in Redmond. The man was teaching his music class at about 9:30 a.m. when he suddenly collapsed and became unconscious.
“He survived because of the quick actions of staff at the school,” reads a City of Redmond Fire Depart-
ment (RFD) press release.When teachers in
adjoining classrooms responded to calls for help, they knew what to do as one of the teachers is the instructor for CPR and au-tomatic external defibrilla-tion (AED) courses at the school.
The group of teachers and staff quickly provided CPR and “shocked” the man into a survivable car-diac rhythm, according to
the press release. As Medic One and RFD respond-ers arrived on scene, the man began showing signs of life. The patient was stabilized by EMTs and paramedics and quickly transported to Evergreen-Health.
RFD firefighter and paramedic Mike Hilley said the Overlake teacher was released from the hospital on Tuesday.
Hilley also praised the
team of teachers who worked on the man before first responders arrived.
“These guys did a re-markable job,” he said. “It was almost professional.”
The press release read, “This is the model that demonstrates how com-munities can come to-gether to save a life. These are the critical pieces that make Medic One in our communities success-ful because citizens learn
CPR, use AEDs and are willing to respond.”
The health teacher who provides CPR and AED courses to students at The Overlake School, as well as the group of teachers who were part of this lifesav-ing team, had never seen a cardiac arrest, reads the press release.
“This real-life experi-ence demonstrates the importance of delivering CPR education early on
in the schools as well as to the success of the commu-nity CPR programs. King County has the highest resuscitation rate in world, which is more than 50 percent,” according to the press release. “This is because of the aggressive CPR and AED train-ing programs, and most importantly, the citizens, dispatchers and emergency responders who comprise the Medic One system.”

Firefighter injured when crew responds to broken water pipe
Firefighters extinguish
mobile-home blaze
Redmond Fire Department (RFD) units responded to a confirmed structure fire within the Friendly Village mobile home park on Northeast 95th Street at 3:55 a.m. last Saturday.
The first arriving engine found fire on an exterior wall with smoke conditions increasing inside, according to a press release. The occupants were out of the home and
advised the arriving crews that they had been awakened by their smoke detector. No injuries were reported.
Kirkland Fire, Bellevue Fire and Woodinville Fire appara-tus were included on the initial dispatch due to the address and RFD’s predetermined response plans. Due to the quick action of the first arriv-ing units, they were not used and returned to their response districts.
The fires on the exterior wall, roof and underneath the mobile home were extin-guished and minimal damage to the interior and furnishings occurred.
The crews overcame the ob-stacle of a broken fire hydrant by extending their firehose supply line across the main road and Redmond Police blocked the road to traffic.
The cause of the fire is un-der investigation by Redmond Fire investigators.
RFD advises residents that, “A working smoke detector made a remarkable difference in the early detection and safe evacuation for the occupants.
“We remind you, during this cold weather to exercise caution in extended fireplace and stove use, warming frozen pipes and using auxiliary heat sources.”
Microsoft Toastmasters club honored

Yen awarded Microsoft the Corporate Award in recognition for the company’s continuous support for Toast-masters activities throughout Microsoft.
Lisa Brummel, Microsoft’s executive vice president for human resources, attended the meeting, accepted the award and spoke about the importance of communica-tion skills in the fast-paced high-tech environment.
Microsoft has 24 Toastmas-ters clubs worldwide where about 500 employees par-ticipate in the program and enjoy the value and benefits of improved public speaking.

The holiday season certainly kicked into high gear in several ways last week.
When December hits, the weather turns cold on us, the shopping “mauls” get crowd-ed — and someone in Redmond brought the city regional and national attention by posting “It’s OK to say, Merry Christmas” signs around town for the second year in a row.
In our question of the week, 84.2 percent of the readers who answered said they approve of the signs, while 15.8 percent of readers said no to the green signs with white lettering, which are also emblazoned with Bible verses.
According to Redmond Mayor John Marchione last week, no one complained to the city about the signs and they’re “treating them like a freedom-of-speech issue.” The signs were posted in public right-of-ways near City Hall, the downtown library and in front of some schools and churches. As of Tuesday night, the sign near City Hall was missing and one of the signs near the library was moved in front of some bushes, so apparently some people are taking their viewpoints into their own hands.
I think it’s commendable for the sign poster to say how he or she feels during the holidays. It’s done anonymously, but they’re still making their point and getting people talking about it. It’s generated lively pro and con comments on our website and Face-book page and I’m sure people are discuss-
ing this with friends, family members and colleagues, as well. The story ran on the national news and people visited our site to let us know about it and give their two cents worth about the signs.
It is OK to say, “Merry Christmas” … and “Happy Holidays,” “Happy Hanukkah,” “Happy Kwanzaa” and whatever else you choose to say, not just during this time of the year but all year round during other cultural celebrations, as well.
Whether it’s the holidays or every day, it is OK to be open-minded and listen to others’ views and maybe learn something from them along the way. It’s a two-way street, though, and others need to give us an equal say, even if they don’t agree with our viewpoint.
Here’s a few website and Facebook com-ments from readers about the signs. If you’re
moved to speak out on the issue, drop me a line at [email protected].
• “I’m not recommending that these signs be treated differently from other signs. But why do we need to allow any signs of this type in public spaces? It’s just littering. If somebody wants to make a free speech argument, let them stand there and hold the sign. And take it home when their feet get too cold.”
• “On my way to Redmond to pull them down.”
• “I have no problem with anyone wishing anyone a happy anything. But I’m assum-ing they sign posters will be equally cheery when someone posts signs wishing them a blessed Ramadan. Right?”
• “I would rather see these signs than the useless politician endorsements.”
Christmas signs: It’s OK to say
what you feel
A citizen’s landscaping suggestionRecently, Redmond Public Works improved
public property along Northeast 95th Street between Avondale Road Northeast and 184th Avenue Northeast. A new sidewalk was installed along with some peripheral asphalt. Between these applications, a bed of sod was applied to beautify the surroundings.
Unfortunately, an old-time practice at this loca-tion has been for drivers to pull o� the road to make a phone call or � ll out their paperwork. � ey’re still doing it, and because of this action, the new sod laid now looks like a bad high-country road and is very unsightful. If it is allowed to continue, the sidewalk will be next to be trashed and all will have been a complete waste of money and intent.
I would suggest that the city recon� gure the space between the sidewalk and roadway, which has a space of 3 feet to 10 feet from one end of the block to the other, to be planted with a low-lying bush ala the rose bushes along 140th Avenue Northeast just o� of Old Redmond Road. � ey would serve as a bu� er in protection of not only the sod but also the person who might be walking along the new side-walk. Maybe 20 plants maximum could be spaced, perhaps costing under $500.Norm Herd, Redmond

King County Prosecutor
Many people are surprised when I tell them that we have a Truancy Dropout Prevention Unit in the Prosecuting Attorney’s O� ce. “Shouldn’t you be going a� er the seri-ous criminals instead of kids who skip school?” they ask. � e truth is that when it comes to protecting public safety, there is no better strategy than making sure that every child succeeds in school.
Under Washington law, school attendance is mandatory up until age 16. � is is part of a package of laws called the “Becca laws” named a� er a 13-year-old girl who dropped out of school, ran away from home and was murdered by a sex o� ender in Spokane in the mid-1990s. � e Legislature knew, as we know now, that dropping out of school
puts young people at an extreme risk of being crime victims and criminal o� enders.
In fact, young people who drop out of high school are � ve
times more likely to go to prison than their classmates who earn a high school diploma. People who attend some amount of col-lege are � ve times less likely to go to prison
than those with a high school education. Every layer of educa-tion is like a protective blanket that protects the potential of that young person and protects our community.
Washington’s truancy law says that any child who misses seven days of school in a month, or 10 in a quarter, is o� cially “truant.” Although school districts are re-quired to � le a truancy petition at this point, they are also required to take steps to re-engage stu-dents in school. My o� ce works
with school districts throughout King County to host workshops designed to understand why the student is missing school. At the end of the workshop, the school, the student and the parents or guardian sign an agreement designed to re-engage the student with an educational track.
� e law is a court-based scheme, but I am more interested in having the youth attend school than attend court. Only if a student continues to fail to attend school a� er a workshop agree-ment is signed, do we take the next step and pursue a petition with the juvenile court. Fewer than 10 percent of the 1,200 peti-tions � led last school year ended up in court, where students and their parents faced additional court-based consequences.
We know that truancy is a red � ag that leads to dropping out of school, and increases the chance for risky behaviors, substance abuse and involvement in the criminal justice system. School districts, teachers and your prosecuting attorney are work-ing hard to keep students from dropping out of school. It is in the best interest of the child and the community.
Keeping kids in school is the best crime-prevention policy

CRIME ALERT
This week’s…Police Blotter
ANDY NYSTRom
Redmond Mayor John Marchione and City Council members discussed their top three priorities — transporta-tion, Washington Tech Cities Coalition (WTC2) and state-shared rev-enues — with a trio of legislators on Tuesday night in their annual meeting at Redmond City Hall.
In a relaxed atmo-sphere, the Redmond group sat around a table with Sen. Rodney Tom and Rep. Ross Hunter of the 48th Legislative District and Rep. Roger Goodman of the 45th Legislative District. They munched on sand-wiches and shared their thoughts on the issues.
Funding for the 148th/Overlake Access Ramp and other State Route 520 Corridor Plan proj-ects are key, according to the council, which praised the House and Senate’s proposals to
include $35.1 million for construction of the ramp. That project is critical to the develop-ment of the Capstone Development project on the old Group Health site, the council wrote in its meeting agenda. The mixed-use project will feature 1.2 million square feet of office space, a 200-room hotel and 1,400 units of hous-ing surrounding a 3-acre park. Capstone hopes to break ground next year on the $250 million first phase of the project.
Tom said that the $900 million Capstone project is one of the state’s most protected projects, “sim-ply because it pays for it-self. Just the sales tax off of the construction pays for the $35.1 million.” Capstone has estimated that the project will generate enough sales tax revenue to pay for itself twice; the company purchased the 28-acre space for $32.5 million last March.
Council member Kim
Allen said the city is ready to go with the Capstone Project — the biggest mixed-use proj-ect in the city’s history — and the council urges the Legislature to develop and enact a transporta-tion investment package, which will help move that project and other ones along.
“We’re shovel ready and we’ve got develop-ers that are building, and so to hold that growth back is going to have an economic impact on the region and certainly on the City of Redmond,” she said.
Proposed King County Metro cuts could also affect the Redmond area and the council raised concern about that, as well. Allen, who sits on the King County Re-gional Transit Commit-tee, noted that many of the Eastside’s park and rides fill up quickly and legislators also need to address this problem.
On the WTC2 front, council member John
Stilin feels that the city has to find ways to incentivize startup businesses to set up in Redmond and flourish.
“They need money to operate and survive. I think if we make invest-ments in technology and get them started up and incubated here, that’s re-ally good for us and then it builds up a stronger network of businesses,” he said. “We’re looking for whatever support we can get to make those businesses stay and grow here.”
Hunter said the key issue for tech startups is talent, so investing in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education in schools will make for a stronger workforce.
He added about Wash-ington: “This is the best place from a tax environ-ment for a company like Microsoft or even any of these small companies” who bring in revenue to thrive.
For its last priority, Redmond will join the Association of Wash-ington Cities and focus on enhancing revenues and protecting state-shared revenues such as liquor taxes and profits and municipal criminal justice assistance. The city also aims to protect revenue that funds auto theft and identification theft prevention, basic
law enforcement acad-emy training, registered sex offender address verification, public health, mental health and housing assistance.
“We’re asking for the growth potential back, so that as our costs rise, we can have some sort of mechanism to keep up with inflation,” Mar-chione said to the legis-lators regarding funding.

A recently renewed part-nership with Levi Strauss & Co. has one company in Redmond leaving its mark all over the world.
PlayNetwork in Redmond has been working with the clothing company to curate music to be played in Levi’s stores in the United States and abroad.
According to its website, PlayNet-work focuses on creating “immersive entertainment experiences for brands worldwide.”
John Crooke, vice president of global brand development for PlayNet-work, said they do this by creating a dialogue with the companies they work with to explore what music means to the brand and its customers.
“It should embody the spirit (of the brand)…It’s not a casual endeavor,” he said about the process they go through in developing music programming.
Crooke said in addition to discussing music, they will discuss everything from decor and lighting to the use of different textures and colors in a store to come up with playlists. This
is because all of this has an impact on how people respond to a brand.
“We do all of this collectively,” he said. “It’s a process…It is this living, breath-ing process between the brand and
PlayNetwork.”Music is distributed to
stores on a monthly basis, but playlists are never wiped clean as some songs may roll over to the next month.
Chad Hinson, senior director of global creative for Levi’s, said music is a very important part of their company and they take the process very seri-ously.
“It’s not just about play-ing music in the store,” he said. “Music is part of our brand’s DNA.”
Hinson said one of the first steps they take in selecting music is defin-ing their consumer base to figure out what music is relevant to them. But that is not always easy.
“It’s such a broad con-sumer mix,” he said.
Hinson described their customers as makers and doers who are actively involved in culture and when creating a track list, they wanted to make sure they tapped into artists who shared these qualities. As a result, the Levi’s playlists feature artists from various
eras, from the 1920s to the 1970s and 1980s and beyond. Hinson said the goal is to play artists who create a time-less sound for their company.
Crooke added that artist styles and
genres also run the gamut and could include anything from 1940s Calypso to the blues to present-day garage-band rock.
Hinson said their music list is not about having the latest chart toppers; nor
is it about having obscure artists who are “too cool for school.” He said it is about creating a familiar sound that engages customers in the spirit of community and being together.
The music programming PlayNetwork developed with Levi’s has already been rolled out in stores in the United States. In the Pacific
Northwest, there are two Levi’s outlet stores — one in Tulalip and one in Auburn.
Levi’s also has stores in Europe, Asia and Latin America and the company is planning to roll out the PlayNetwork music pro-gramming soon.
Hinson said while their stores are located all over the world, their music
selection will not vary too much from one geographi-cal region to another.
“The idea is we’re always trying to project that Levi’s sound,” he said, though he added they do try to bring a bit — about 20 percent — of local flavor to their playlists as they want to be globally consistent, but regionally relevant.

Ten representatives from Argentina visited STEM High School in Redmond on Friday to learn and ask questions about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education as part of the Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program.
STEM students turned the tables on the guests, asking them questions about Argentina when they visited a Spanish classroom. The Spanish class is cur-rently studying Christmas and New Year’s traditions in Spanish-speaking coun-tries, so the students asked about those traditions in Argentina. The guests ex-plained that many people in Argentina have barbecues for these holidays, since it is summer there during the holidays.
In addition to answering student questions about Ar-gentina in their native lan-guage, the guests discussed STEM education issues with principal Cindy Duenas,
including best practices for attracting students to the sciences. Duenas reviewed how the STEM school was established and the pro-grams currently being of-fered. The guests also spent time observing STEM class-rooms including environ-mental science, Advanced Placement (AP) psychology, engineering, programming, AP biology, Photoshop and AP chemistry.
The goal of their visit is to examine issues pertain-ing to STEM education, including key elements in the design and delivery of STEM education. Over the course of about two weeks, the group will travel throughout the U.S. to discuss STEM education programs, strategies and development.
The International Visitor Leadership Program par-ticipants were:
Mariano Manuel Bar-raco, assistant professor of science at University of Buenos Aires (UBA); Paula
Cramer, adjunct investiga-tor at the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET); Maria Florencia Di Mauro, researcher/professor at University of Mar Del Plata; Pablo Matias Factorovich, consultant at the Sadosky Foundation; Andrea Paula Goldin, post-doctoral fellow researcher of the neurosci-ence laboratory at UBA; Monica Beatriz Mendoza, professional technician for Technology and Productive Innovation at the Ministry Of Science; Julieta Molinas, author of Natural Sciences Area, Estrada Editorial; Guadalupe Nogues, biology professor at Instituto Libre De Segunda Ensenanza; Milena Luciana Rosenzvit, professor in the Depart-ment of Ecology, Genetics and Evolution, faculty of natural sciences at UBA; and Gonzalo Esteban Za-bala, researcher in robotic education at the Center for High Studies in Information Technology.

barrel to stay warm, toasting marshmallows for s’mores as well as some cupcakes for a warm treat.
Suzanne Welch, who moved to downtown Redmond in June, was also attending Redmond Lights for the first time this year.
“It’s awesome,” she said about the fes-tivities, adding that the event took her Christ-mas spirit up a notch.
Since she and her family have moved to town, Welch said they have attended the various events the city has put on such as Derby Days as well as cultural events like Ananda Mela. Leading up to Redmond Lights, she said they had been looking forward to the tree lighting at City Hall as they had seen it being wrapped up in lights in the days leading up to the event.
Despite the excite-ment leading up to the annual event, Welch ad-mitted the cold weather raised a few questions in their household about whether they would be attending. But an unex-pected turn of events at home confirmed their attendance.
“We actually lost power,” she said.
Lisa Rhodes, events and marketing admin-istrator for the City of Redmond, said they were thrilled with the event’s turnout, despite it being the coldest night of the year (so far).
“We don’t have our final attendance esti-mations done yet, but from the reports that I do have, it looks like we were at about the same attendance as 2012,” she said, adding that this totals out to roughly 10,000 over the course of the day and night.
King County Council member Kathy Lambert was also present and has attended Redmond Lights every year since its inception. She said one of her favorite things about the event is seeing people from the community she normal-ly wouldn’t see.
“I love how the holi-days bring out the com-munity spirit,” she said.
A self-confessed “lights addict,” Lambert said she also admires all the lights of Redmond Lights.
In addition to the tree lighting, one of the other highlights from Saturday’s event was the opening of the Red-mond Central Connec-tor (RCC).
“It’s a very special night…As longtime Redmond residents know, this was an abandoned railroad,” Redmond Mayor John Marchione said, refer-ring to the RCC’s path.
During his remarks leading up to the tree lighting, Marchione encouraged people to use and enjoy the newly opened trail, which they got to do for the first time during the tradi-tional Redmond Lights luminary walk.
This year, event organizers changed the walk’s path to connect the Sammamish River Trail with the RCC and head east into the downtown core, ending along the trail at 166th Avenue Northeast, near ERRATIC, public artist John Fleming’s sculp-ture of metal, glass and interactive light.
While walking the newly opened trail, peo-ple commented on the new route. Some said they’d been watching the RCC’s construction and have been looking forward to its opening, while others said they enjoyed the new route through the downtown.
“Seeing the crowds with their Redmond Lights blinkers on walking down the new Redmond Central Con-nector, was such a great sight,” Rhodes said.
A short ceremony was held to celebrate the RCC opening, with the mayor giving a few short remarks and then “flipping the switch” to light the new path.
Guy Michaelsen of The Berger Partner-ship, the Settle-based landscaping architecture consultants for the RCC, was also present for the opening of the trail. And having worked on the RCC since the be-ginning, Michaelsen was very excited to see part of the trail completed.
Like Choe and Welch, this was Michaelsen’s first time attending Redmond Lights and he was very impressed.
“This is such a fantas-tic community event,” he said. “You’ve got people coming out in 20-degree weather. You know you’ve got a good thing.”

The residents’ reactions were a response to King County ordinance 2013-0472 singling out Redmond Ridge by name in allowing a marijuana processing plant in the commu-nity. In addition, an applicant under the name Red Ridge Farms LLC applied for a permit to open a plant in the 10000 block of 231st Way Northeast on the Ridge.
While the majority of feedback King County Council members received on the topic was against allowing a processing plant on the Ridge, Lambert’s office received input from at least one individual who was in favor.
A CoMMunity unitedCouncil members debated the issue in
depth and ultimately agreed with the citizens in their belief that the Redmond Ridge area needed to be removed from zoning for mari-juana growing and processing. Additional research revealed that all but one parcel with the proposed area in Redmond Ridge was inside a 1,000-foot buffer and did not qualify
under the state regulations that are part of the voter-approved Initiative 502, which legalized recreational use of marijuana.
“With the passing of the amended ordi-nance, our neighborhood feels the council was responsive to unincorporated area resi-dents that they govern,” Boon said.
Lambert added, “I truly believe that the residents of Redmond Ridge made a huge difference in the outcome of this legislation. What encourages me the most is that the result is a great civics lesson about the power of community involvement to change an outcome. This was grassroots at its best.”
She said because most of the other King County Council members are not familiar with her district, having members of the community contact them, speak at public hearings and provide feedback helps support her because they back up what she tells her fellow council members regarding the area.
“It means that I’m not alone on these top-ics,” she said about the community support. “I feel like in the future…I have an army now.”
Boon said rallying together to keep marijuana processing plants out of their community was a big learning experience for Redmond Ridge, Redmond Ridge East and other nearby neighborhoods.
“We are better prepared for involvement on future topics concerning our areas,” she said. “This issue has provided a great learning experience and has brought the community even closer together.”
County reGuLAtionSKing County Council unanimously adopt-
ed legislation on Monday modifying county building codes and development regulations for the siting of recreational marijuana busi-nesses licensed by Washington State Liquor Control Board (LCB).
In 2012, state voters adopted I-502, which legalized the purchase, possession and use of small amounts of marijuana by state residents 21 years and older. The initiative also established the means for regulating the production, processing, sales and taxing of marijuana.
As outlined in I-502, the legislation prevents any of these operations from being established within 1,000 feet of a number of
facilities including schools, public parks, day care centers, arcades and libraries.
The adopted ordinance does not impact the production, processing and sale of medicinal marijuana. Those businesses will continue to be governed by current county codes.
The legislation adopted by the council — which is in effect only in the unincorporated areas within King County — sets the regula-tions on the production, processing and sale of marijuana in those communities:
ProductionOutdoor and greenhouse growing would
be allowed in the agricultural (A) zone as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet.
Outdoor and greenhouse growing would be allowed in the rural area (RA) zone as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet and as a conditional use up to 30,000 square feet.
Indoor growing would be allowed in the community business (CB) and regional busi-ness (RB) zone as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet and as a conditional use up to 30,000 square feet.
Indoor growing would be allowed in the industrial (I) zone as a permitted use up to 30,000 square feet.
ProcessingLight processing as an accessory use to
production would be allowed in the A and RA zones as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet.
Light processing would be allowed in the CB and RB zones outside of the urban growth area as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet and as a conditional use up to 30,000 square feet.
Processing would be allowed in the CB and RB zones and inside of the urban growth area as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet and as a conditional use up to 30,000 square feet.
Processing would be allowed in the I zone as a permitted use up to 30,000 square feet.
RetailRetail sales would be allowed in the CB
and RB zones as a permitted use up to 2,000 square feet.

At various times, many people may feel frustrated by the performance of their investments. For example, they expect growth, and they don’t get it — or they think the value of their investment won’t fluctuate much, but it does. However, some of this
frustration might be alleviated if investors were more familiar with the nature of their invest-ment vehicles. Specifically, it’s important to keep in mind the difference between long-term and short-term investments.
What defines long-term and short-term investments?
Long-term investments are those vehicles that you intend to hold for more than one year — in fact, you generally intend to hold them for several years. On the other hand, you usually hold short-term investments for one year or less.
You can find several key dis-
tinctions between short-term and long-term vehicles. Here are a few to consider:
They carry different expec-tations. When you purchase an investment that you intend to keep for many years, you may be expecting the investment to increase in value so that
you can eventually sell it for a profit. In addition, you may be looking for the investment to provide income. When you purchase a short-term vehicle, you are generally not expecting much in the way of a return or an increase in value. Typi-cally, you purchase short-term investments for the relatively greater degree of principal protection they are designed to provide.
They meet different needs at different times of life. You will have different investment needs at different times of your life. When you’re young, and just starting out in your career, you may require a mix of long- and short-term investments. You might need the short-term ones to help pay for a down payment on a home, while the long-term ones could be used to help build resources for your retirement. But later in life, when you’re either closing in on retirement, or you’re already retired, you may have much less need for long-term vehicles, with a correspond-ing increase in your need for short-term investments.
They can satisfy different goals. If you purchase invest-ments that you intend to hold for the long term, you probably have a long-term goal in mind — such as building resources to help pay for a comfortable retirement or leaving a legacy. On the other hand, a short-term investment would be more appropriate if you know that you will need a certain amount of money at a certain time — perhaps to purchase a car or to fund a vacation.
They carry different risks. All investments carry some type of risk. One of the biggest risks associated with long-term investments is volatility, the fluctuations in the financial markets that can cause invest-ments to lose value. On the other hand, short-term invest-ment vehicles may be subject to purchasing power risk — the risk that your investment’s return will not keep up with inflation.
As an investor, you’ll prob-ably need a mix of long-term and short-term vehicles. By knowing the differences between these two catego-ries, you should have a good idea of what to expect from your investments — and this knowledge can help you make those choices that are right for you.

Redmond’s Kirsch completes
27 passesJOSH SUMAN
Reporter Newspapers
Eastside Catholic High knew to beat the five-time defending state champions from Bellevue High, the Crusaders would need a near-flawless effort.
Instead, the Crusaders were left lamenting missed opportunities after the Wolverines forced four turnovers in a 52-20 win for the 3A state title last Friday night at the Tacoma Dome.
“We needed to play bet-ter,” Eastside Catholic head coach Jeremy Thielbahr said. “That’s a great ballclub over there.”
The Crusaders drove inside the Bellevue 20-yard line on the game’s first drive. But an interception in the end zone from senior Tim Haehl set the tone and led to a score from the Wolverines’ senior tight end Ross Conners six plays later for a 7-0 lead.
Sophomore quarter-back Harley Kirsch from Redmond pulled his team within seven in the second quarter with a 1-yard quarterback sneak to cap an eight-play drive that covered 57 yards.
But three Bellevue
touchdowns in the final four minutes of the half, bolstered by a fumble re-covery deep in Crusaders’ territory, put things out of reach and ended Eastside Catholic’s hopes of the program’s first state title.
“We’ve just got to com-pete at a higher level, more consistently,” Thielbahr said.
Senior running back Henry Jarvis returned from injury and finished with four carries, but a stingy Bellevue defense held the Crusaders to just 24 yards on the ground for the game.
Kirsch finished with 27
completions on his 37 at-tempts, with two intercep-tions and a touchdown pass to senior Colin MacIlven-nie on the game’s final play.
Thielbahr praised his team’s growth throughout the year, and Bellevue coach Butch Goncharoff said there was little doubt Eastside Catholic would again find itself in prime position to challenge for more titles in coming years, with a bevy of talented un-derclassmen led by Kirsch.
But to achieve the final
goal and leave the Tacoma Dome with a 3A state title trophy, they know there is work to be done.
“We’ve got to go back and get prepared for next season,” Thielbahr said. “I believe in this team. I believe in our kids.”
The team also featured Redmond residents Jakob Jackson, Eric Medeiros, James Jolliffe and Juan Sacchi, and Woodinville residents Drew Springfield, Addison Hull and Jacob Friedburg.

VALA EAstsidE sEEks Artists in rEsidEncE
VALA Eastside (Venues For Artists in the Local Area) is seeking two
local artists to serve as 2014 artists in residence at its art center in
Redmond. The VALA Artist in Residence (AIR)
Program was started in 2013 as a way to give local artists the
opportunity to develop and create an art project of their choosing and
implement it in a way that creates a strong connection to the local
community. “Connecting the community to
art and artists is core to the mission of VALA and we are excited to be
able to offer opportunities like this to our local artists,” says VALA
co-founder and executive director Jessica Lambert.
Each artist will serve for a two-month period in 2014, be given a stipend of $1,000 and use of the
VALA Art Center to create their project and public art program. The
VALA Art Center, located at 7303 164th St. N.E. in Redmond Town
Center, is the hub for most of VALA’s art programs including public art
installations, programs, events and workshops. The art center is
made possible through partnership with Redmond Town Center and is
operated by VALA Eastside, a 501c3 nonprofit organization serving the
Eastside arts community. Resident artists will be selected through a two-part application
process that will consist of a submission of application materials
and, if selected, a formal written proposal and interview. Deadline
to apply is at 5 p.m. on Jan. 17.

sAmBAmurti FEAturEd on WorLd-music ALBum
Redmond resident and singer Latha Sambamurti is being featured on
recently released world-music album, composed by electronic
musician Colin Mansfield of St. Paul, Minn.
The collaborative project also includes Portland singer Holly Nelson. The album, “The Great
Expedition” has five tracks, two of which fuse Sambamurti’s Indian
melodies with modern electronica.“The Great Expedition” is meant to describe a journey that could have
been taken by a young explorer just before the First World War. The soundscapes are meant to
describe each phase of the imagined journey, from the preparations, to
the journey itself and the eventual return. The first two tracks, “First
Steps” and “New Worlds” show the movement toward, and completion
of, a sea journey. “The Great Expedition of 1912” attempts to describe the bulk of the journey,
with the juxtaposition of the Persian santur, the Arabic rak, as
well as more European-styled horns and vocals. “Post Expedition” is a
reflection on what happened to the traveller, particularly mentally and
spiritually, with broadened horizons and a more understanding world view. For more information or to purchase “The Great Expedition,”
