In addition, two more city representatives will give short presentations about current city projects. Heidi Sowell, City Water Quality Planner, will discuss the downtown Kirkland Pump Station Project and the City Manager, Kurt Triplett, will talk about the possibility of a Transportation Benefit District.
Your new Board of Directors, elected at the May meeting consists of:
Jill Keeney – Chairperson, Heiki Grodecki – Vice Chairperson, Dawn Bremner – Secretary, Malia Karlinsky – Treasurer, Donna Neil – At-Large. Nabila Lacey is Webmaster and Anna Rising, your Kirkland Alliance of Neighborhoods (KAN) representative.
Our Annual Everest Neighborhood Picnic was a success, as always! We had perfect weather and delicious food contributions from the around 50 neighbors who attended. All enjoyed the grilled hamburgers, salmon burgers, veggie burgers and hot dogs. Many participants in the water balloon toss came away a little damp but with big smiles on their faces. Younger children fished the Ol’ Fishing Hole dry of all its prizes.
Thanks to the incoming freshman class of Northwest University for cleaning up the site the day prior to the picnic as part of their pre-term community service. The weeding and cutting back of brush was appreciated.

Thanks to many Everest Neighborhood families (including a couple of neighbors who used to live in our neighborhood) the holidays were much happier for two eastside families. The two families were sponsored through the YES (Youth Eastside Services) “Adopt-A-Family” program. YES has noted a marked decrease in company and corporate giving which makes donations, like this one, from families and neighbors all the more significant. The donated gifts included items ranging from a bicycle and microwave to clothing to holiday treats.

Remember when Michael Cogle, our city’s Park Planning Manager, came to our meeting and briefed us about scheduled renovations at Everest Park? Well, it’s started, and, true to his word, Michael is keeping us informed! Here’s the latest from Michael…
Our project to replace the grandstands at Everest Park ‘A’ Field is underway. The contractor is scheduled to be done on or before February 20.
Demo of the existing structures is almost complete. Lumber material will be reclaimed and reused. Some lumber will be used to form footings for new structures. Concrete material will be ground up and recycled.
You may contact Michael at MCogle [at] ci.kirkland.wa.us with any questions.
