Kirkland has positioned itself as a major arts community because - among other reasons - there are a large number of art galleries in the city. There used to be more just a few years ago.But that doesn't mean Kirkland is losing its arts edge, according to owners of several galleries that have persevered in the face of a changing economy and a decline in tourism following 9/11."People were not only not going anywhere (after the terrorist attacks), they were afraid to spend money," said Pat Howard from the Howard/Mandville Gallery. She also points to another, earlier factor in the shrinking number of arts outlets. "I'd say it started with the earthquake."

With previous and gainful employment in teaching (Day) and a Paul Allen start-up (Curtis), they stopped earning a paycheck - you never want to tell mothers that they're not working - after they started having children. They decided it was time for more.This past October, the two Houghton residents diverted their focus from positive parenting to business-building. The two friends, hosted a Southern Living party and invited about 40 women. They had decided they wanted to start a business together, but which one?
We made some small talk and then made our way back to my car to say our goodbyes. That's when it happened. Just as I was ducking into the driver's seat, she remembered something she'd been meaning to tell me. With a big grin and a lilting cadence she said, "At the risk of upsetting you ... (note to self: the next time someone opens a sentence with this, run!) ... I wanted to let you know what I've been doing about my weight." Why would that upset me? Because this is her way of telling me that she thinks I'm fat!
I attended the Central Houghton Neighborhood Association meeting July 6 and was surprised how few were in attendance. It is a good format for community members to learn what is going on to improve the lives in our neighborhood. Items discussed were:
Thank goodness we are finally starting to see some help arrive on traffic congestion relief and mass transit projects in our town. While Kirkland has been working on small improvements, there has been a notable absence of "big buck" investments necessary to make some real investments. That is beginning to change and the future looks much brighter in several respects.
I was surprised at the unusually vicious and one-sided attack in your July edition railing against Antioch Bible Church. The article is simply an opinion piece reflecting the bias of teacher's union president, Kevin Teeley. Whatever happened to the journalistic tradition of reporting both sides?
The third annual Bridle Trails Park Foundation Party in the Park was held on June 25 and it was a huge success. We worried about the weather but it held for the event. There was a much larger turnout this year, with 339 runners vs. 237 last year.
The Pumpkin is the orange coffee kiosk trailer that sat at the corner of Seventh and Market, formerly known as Market Street Perks. It has moved to the corner of 5th Street, 16th Avenue West and Market. Downtowner Scott summed up the re-opening with a simple declaration: "The Pumpkin is back!
My goodness, the summer has flown by! August is here already. Our dahlias bloomed early this summer and it feels like my calendar is just a little off - I am not quite ready for the "dog days" yet. I hope you have been enjoying the weather, even though it has waited a bit long for the sun to peek through this year. July was quite a busy month; there is still a bit of summer left to remind you about.
Hello, neighbors! I trust you all have recovered from a busy July and finally the onset of summer temperatures. I will begin with an update on the Woodlands Park playground project, as it is the most exciting community building event/opportunity happening in North Rose Hill or the entire city these days.
