From the Washington state Attorney General
Nearly half a million Washingtonians had
their personal information compromised as a result of data breaches
between July of 2015 and July of this year, according to a report issued today by Attorney General Bob Ferguson. The release coincides with National Cyber Security Awareness Month.
The Attorney General’s report details the sources and impacts of data
breaches reported to the Attorney General’s Office (AGO) under new,
stricter notification and reporting requirements adopted by the
Legislature in 2015. Attorney General Ferguson proposed the legislation.
Its prime sponsors were Rep. Zack Hudgins and Sen. John Braun.
During the first year after the law took effect, 39 data breaches met
the reporting threshold of 500 affected Washingtonians. Those 39
incidents occurred at companies and organizations ranging from school
districts to national retail chains and affected at least 450,000
Washingtonians. The number is undoubtedly higher, since several
companies reported that they were unable to determine the number of
individuals affected.
While most of the breaches impacted less than 10,000 individuals, one
breach in the tele-communications industry affected more Washington
residents than the other 38 breaches combined.
In that instance, T-Mobile informed the AGO that an intruder obtained the sensitive data of nearly 330,000 Washingtonians.
“Information is power, and this new law gives my office and Washingtonians valuable information about potential risk to their personal information and their businesses,” Ferguson said.
“Data breaches are a serious threat to our security, and my office can use this information in our efforts to protect the people of Washington.”

Shoreline Library Board meeting Thursday, November 3, 2016, 6:30-8:00pm at the Shoreline Library, 345 NE 175th St. Shoreline 98155.
Agenda Highlights
To the Editor:
I recently attended the Lake Forest Park ST3 forum and left convinced that Shoreline is making a mistake with Transit Oriented Development. We need to design density around business centers and busing commuters to the rail station (just like the ST3 plans) while moving the rest of the car trips away from the station. I feel strongly enough about this concept I am asking you to vote No on Shoreline Prop 1to express a lack of confidence in the City’s current rezone plans.
My proposal supports existing businesses while the city plans imply 4 new business centers (at Shoreline Center, Town Center, 145th south of the Crest and 145th west of the freeway). I'll bet there are more bus riders going to the station if they reside near the business centers than station density optionally using buses to go to the grocery store and other errands.
Station density means commuters can walk, but will congest the area for everything else. Zoning to single lot MUR 70 means there isn't enough parking underneath. Putting it alongside means you reduce walkability. If we want to support the north shore cities and improve walkability, we have to move Shoreline density away from the 145 station.
The Shoreline rezones EIS included a traffic study that depends on business centers inside the rezone for car trip reduction. The current zoning treats business as an afterthought which means we applied the wrong model. The city budget includes a half million dollars for a traffic study for 185th which goes down the drain without a different model. These are a couple of reasons why I am requesting you to vote No on Shoreline Prop 1 and show you lack the confidence in their dumb density.

Meg Murry is the quintessential square peg: a middle-school math whiz with glasses and a short temper. But when she and her strangely gifted little brother set off to find their missing father, they’re catapulted across time and space to a world where being different isn’t just an annoyance — it can cost you your life.
Even with the help of curious otherworldly beings, Meg will have to conjure every power she can find, and then some, to put her family back together.

“Our vision is to offer a world-class international school for elementary and middle school students right here in the heart of Shoreline,” says Rick Boyle, Principal at St. Luke.
“This is not what you typically think of your local Catholic school. But we’re not a typical Catholic school. It’s not enough to offer a traditional curriculum anymore. The world is changing and so are we.”
“We want students at St. Luke to have the 21st century skills that colleges and employers are looking for,” adds Meaghan Roach, St. Luke’s IB Coordinator and former international school teacher.
“These include skills in leadership, teamwork, communication, problem-solving, strategic planning and creativity.”

Incumbent Democratic 46th Legislative District State Rep. Gerry Pollet recently sent a statement about what he believes are the most important issues in the November election. His opponent on the Nov. 8 ballot, Libertarian Stephanie Heart Viskovich, has not sent a statement.
The district’s other incumbent representative, Democrat Jessyn Farrell, is running unopposed.
The 46th Legislative District includes Lake Forest Park and Kenmore along with northeast Seattle.
Here is Pollet’s issue statement:
Legislative District 46, Representative Position 1
Gerry Pollet (Prefers Democratic Party)—
I ask to continue serving as your State Representative to make our tax system more fair, properly fund our children’s schools, make college affordable, and protect our environment and consumers.
I am deeply involved in our community – from reducing overcrowding in our schools to protecting Lake Washington. I understand higher education as a faculty member at the UW School of Public Health.
NUHSA advocates for human services in North King County (NKC), on behalf of its residents and the agencies that serve them.
With all the attention this election cycle on the presidential race, it’s easy for city propositions to get lost. But that doesn’t mean they’re not important! City propositions can have a far more direct impact on our daily lives, and there’s one on this year’s ballot NUHSA cares deeply about.
The City of Shoreline’s Proposition 1: Levy Lid Lift is a maintenance and operations levy to maintain basic public safety, parks and recreation, and community services.
This is not a new tax, but rather a request to continue funding important city programs at the same rate as they have been from 2010 to 2016.
Losing this funding would be devastating to our local human services agencies at a time when the need is already drastically increasing.
From the Proposition statement:
Proposition 1 would help fund and maintain current levels of police and emergency service, including neighborhood safety and traffic patrols; school safety programs; and community crime prevention programs. Proposition 1 would also help fund park and trail maintenance; playgrounds and play equipment; ball fields, restrooms and the Shoreline pool; and preserve recreation programs for youth, families, and seniors. Proposition 1 would also continue funding for community services for seniors, youth, and individuals and families in need. Levy funds will not be used to replace existing funds used to pay costs of such programs and services.
