I walk my 5-month-old daughter in her stroller every day, and I was hoping you could help raise awareness for a problem we’ve been having.
I read the story you published regarding Tent City 4 (TC4) and some of the comments. I noticed how you try to be fair with your reporting, and not overly judgmental, but you only heard and wrote one side of the story, and the reactions prove this.
Our home in the Everest Neighborhood was broken into Nov. 13. Unfortunately, a work colleague just informed us that his home in the Rose Hill neighborhood was broken into Tuesday in a similar manner.

It is time for the Kirkland City Council to stand on the sidewalk at 102nd Court N.E. off N.E. 116th Street, between 5:30 a.m. to approximately 8:30 a.m. on any weekday mornings and tell the folks who live on that residential street that the noise level – which at times exceeds 84 decibels – is okay.
