I have been reading how a new park, and other improvements in the Totem Lake area, will enhance the local neighborhood. Do you really think our area will benefit by the licensing of more than 60 some pot stores in this same area? I read a quote in the Kirkland Reporter made by Kristen Larsen. She said, “Marijuana businesses don’t belong in residential neighborhoods.” I live in Totem Lake and I totally agree with Ms. Larsen.
