I want to strongly support Councilman Bob Sternoff for reelection to the Kirkland City Council.
Council candidate Toby Nixon recently wrote a letter, stating that “the investigation determined that Bob Sternoff didn’t violate any city or state laws.”
Kirkland was the first city outside of California to begin using in-pavement lights nearly 15 years ago, and Kirkland is the first U.S. city to use pedestrian crossing flags.
President Obama recently made a very quiet decision to negate significant EPA findings and pulled back on implementing stronger smog standards for various industries, siting that the new regulations would harm the economy and job growth.
A couple of years ago, at 124th Ave. N.E. and N.E. 140th St. of the then-unincorporated Kingsgate area, the county put in a new pedestrian crossing.
Sunday morning on 9/11, I was driving up Market Street and then on to Central Way. I was so surprised and touched by the poignant display of scores of American flags placed all over Kirkland.
The recent action by the King County Council to assess a $20 fee on car tab renewals is not the “right call” you asserted in a recent editorial.
Name one city where public transit is fully funded by collected fares. Name one city where road costs are fully paid by the people who use them?
I applaud Jeff Jared’s politically incorrect, yet practical and common-sense suggestions to enhance citizen mobility throughout King County.
Efficient transportation is a system not a free-for-all. It requires design and a significant investment for it to work.
A few readers believe Councilman Bob Sternoff should not be re-elected because of “ethical lapses.”
As chair of the Kirkland Ethics Task Force, I can tell you that Councilman Bob Sternoff supported the establishment of an ethics and conduct code throughout the process.
In response to 14-year-old Rhys Brewer’s recent letter. The facts about Councilman Bob Sternoff’s grossly inappropriate behaviors have been so well buried from the voters that an uninformed 14 year old has advised voters that this was a “victimless act.”
The recent article regarding the alleged Kirkland bank robber who was released from jail was a startling commentary on our current justice system
We need your help. Eastside Domestic Violence Project (EDVP) has fallen short on the needs of kids in their shelters.
In response to a recent article about the Kirkland Police Department, I found it to be refreshing to see the proactive approach of the chief and department officers.
In response to Neil Goldberg’s recent letter about Martin Morgan, what Mr. Goldberg fails to mention is that the city has had Mr. Morgan in court more than a dozen times and Mr. Morgan has won each and every time
The reason that the bicyclist was recently killed on Juanita Drive was because he had to avoid cones that were surrounding a hole in the bicycle lane.
The Kirkland Council election is, again, an interesting one. As a former building manager in Kirkland, I would suggest that voters check out all candidates to find those best qualified to make decisions for the city.
I’ve read numerous letters in the Kirkland Reporter, most of them negative and that’s okay, it’s a place to vent. But I’d like to do a little something different. This is more a heartfelt letter because of the care and compassion we have received and because I had no other idea how to thank everyone who has helped us. Our dog ran away on July 22. My daughters and I made fliers and posters and harassed every neighbor we could find. Then we went across the street to the west side of Market and harassed more people.
