Has there been a recent crime wave that I don’t know about that is sweeping through our newly annexed Juanita area and Finn Hill?!

I’ve seen more cops in the past two weeks than all the previous 19 years! And the number of traffic stops … On Juanita drive, along 100th Avenue, on 132nd – everywhere, it seems, Kirkland Police has motorists pulled over in traffic stops.

I can’t wait to see when the KPD meter-maids discover our area too. We’ll have your debt paid down in no time folks.So officers, we get it: we’re annexed and you’re our policing agency. But we don’t live in a police state where cops outnumber the residents.

This used to be a pretty nice neighborhood. Really, trust me on this.
