Whenever one comments about the homosexual lifestyle, the pejorative responses I received are not unusual.
Roger Lowe made several points accompanied by erroneous conclusions in a recent letter about the Potala Village project.
The City of Kirkland Planning director recently approved the Potala Village shoreline permit for 143 units and fewer parking spaces. So this is the shoreline permit and not the building permit.
What got us into the Potala mess was the arrogance of the Planning director trying to satisfy the demands of Mayor McBride.
The developer filed a new claim on Jan. 10 in King County Superior Court.
Mayor McBride and council members, I have followed the Potola Village story in the Kirkland Reporter and now the Seattle Times.
As principal of John Muir Elementary, and on behalf of our school community, I want to send a sincere thank you to everyone who donated their time and resources to provide food boxes to so many of our families here on Dec. 17.
Thank you to Bill LaMarche for his wonderful columns about volunteer opportunities!

The Woodlands Park Tot Lot needs your support as it is not part of the recently passed levy. The small play area near Mark Twain Elementary School, funded by city bond funds in 1986, has now been removed for safety reasons due to deterioration.
Sunday morning I was on my way to work at Bellevue Square. I went up State Street to 68th, where I hit the beginnings of a major road block: the 12ks of Christmas Holiday Run.
