In spite of the air inversion that kept the fog close to the ground, King county has escaped a burn ban.
The bans for Snohomish county and Pierce county, which had reached stage 2, have been lifted. The weather is expected to shift soon, removing the concerns and the remaining bans in Puget Sound.

To the Editor:
In November 2012 after months of public relations, the city succeeded in convincing the citizens of Shoreline to create their own utility destiny.
The ballot measure to acquire SPU was roundly approved by a 70 percent margin. At that time, Art Maronek, Tom Jamieson, and myself headed the campaign in opposition. What was obvious then is what has come to pass.
The Seattle City Council never agreed to the acquisition, and as Art demonstrated from a review of facts he had spent a lifetime learning as head of the Seattle water department, the price was nowhere near accurate.
With the certainty of fools, our city officials believed the myths they had created and convinced our citizens a bright future awaited. This failed acquisition was central to the city plan to take over Ronald Wastewater. Our sewer rate has risen 8 percent since the city gained control of the wastewater commission.
Consolidation of utilities under city control requires combining sewer, water, and storm water to be financially feasible. The storm water systems in our city are a disaster. No one in the city administration knows what needs to be replaced and what the costs will be. Rate payers beware. Fools are defined by their refusal to listen or learn.
The city continues to spread spin by public relations. Rezones are the latest attempt to create a brave new Shoreline.
Like the Wizard of Oz, don't look behind the curtain. Everything has a cost and reality awaits.
My friends Art and Tom are no longer with us. Thank you both for telling the truth.

Kim was nominated by a student who wrote, “This is the type of teacher where the first row in class is always full with students who got there twenty minutes before class starts. In fact, his greatest gift is bringing real interest and fun to learning, what at times can be complex and frustrating material.”

Agenda Highlights
From Wikipedia: Lidar (also written LIDAR, LiDAR or LADAR) is a remote sensing technology that measures distance by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the reflected light. Although thought by some to be an acronym of Light Detection And Ranging, the term lidar was actually created as a portmanteau of "light" and "radar".

Obituaries are condensed biographies of people's lives, written by the people who loved them. Like a memorial service, they tell us things we may not have known about the person, and may leave us wishing we had known them better.
