It seems to me that Denny Creek Neighborhood Alliance (DCNA) is doing precisely what its charter calls for it to do:
I was very disappointed in the official Denny Creek Neighborhood Alliance (DCNA) position as stated by Scott Morris at the Tuesday’s public information meeting on the proposed fire station.
The Denny Creek Neighborhood Alliance (DCNA) is a Finn Hill-based neighborhood association with members and supporters from nearly 300 households.
There is an urgent need to solve the budget crisis. Citizens should remember what caused the crisis that caused Rep. Springer to propose legislation that would help exonerate the council from its bad decision. As a result, the council incurred millions more in debt by annexation.
At the Kirkland City Council meeting on March 1, the council received a Legislative Update (item 10(b) on the meeting agenda).
Thank you for the letter by Mr. Larry Knapp in the Feb. 28 issue of the Reporter (“Abortion should be safe, legal and rare”). The author explained very clearly why I donated money to Planned Parenthood for many years. That question has always vexed me.
(In response to the recent letter, “Abortion is a fancy way to say selfish”). I can see that young Meredith has done a good job of learning the abortion talking points undoubtedly presented to her at her church.
I would like to respond to the recent letter “Abortion is a fancy way to say selfish.”
The “Summary of Interests” within the Eastside Rail Corridor Draft Interest Statement is a very good wish list of reasons why citizens should focus on the future use of the BNSF Corridor.
Council’s recent workshop and the previous meeting at Northwest College were nothing more than an attempt to gain support for what the mayor and council had previously decided.
Today I am going to change your look at abortion. I do have references to the Bible written here.
The levy on the Feb. 8 ballot would not lock us in to the current plan of building a small secondary school rather than a fifth comprehensive high school. We still could, and should, change our minds on that point.
There may be a perception/opinion that the Capital Projects Levy on the ballot affects only the east side of the school district, but that is simply not true.
There are two important events with Lake Washington School District (LWSD) in February.
As a community, we all benefit by living in the LWSD. Though there are always improvements to be made, LWSD consistently outperforms comparable districts, with achievement scores well above the state average.
With all due respect to the individual LWSD and Juanita High School board members who recently endorsed the levy, there is no space crisis. The district has just refused to use some of the money earmarked for modernization and other means to handle the long anticipated increase in east side enrollment in a timely manner.
I moved to the Lake Washington School District (LWSDS) from the Northshore School District in 2003. In all my 43 years I had never witnessed a complete demolition of a school and followed by a total rebuild.
Woodinville Water District has found a different way to increase profits while selling the same water at an increased price….
The LWSD is running a levy in February to raise $65.4 million more than they need to house their growing student population. There is plenty of extra space in existing Kirkland schools to house this growth. The district will consider using that space by rearranging attendance boundaries and bus schedules if the levy fails. They admit they already have enough money to provide new housing on the Eastside. It’s unspent money we entrusted to them for modernizing 30 of our schools. So far they have torn down and replaced 21 of those schools instead of modernizing them. They intend to continue this practice for the remaining eight schools. The district will consider using some of the unspent money to alleviate the housing shortage if the levy fails. The rest of the money would still be available for modernization of those eight schools.
My husband and I live in the Juanita community and we strongly urge LWSD residents to vote yes for the district’s Feb. 8 capital levy. Maintaining our excellent schools is important to the quality of life in our community and to our children’s futures. The levy is needed to pay for new classroom space and a new school to accommodate the district’s sudden increase this past year in enrollment after a decade of almost no growth. The increase is no anomaly; the enrollment is expected to continue to climb.
