Review editorial
October 15, 2008
Thumbs down on Sound Transit’s Proposition 1
Proposition 1 on your November ballot will get you a half penny per dollar increase in sales tax. That’s for sure, and immediate.
Along the way, a new bus route or another bus for an existing might come your way and hopefully will be going the way you want it to. And someday far, far away — maybe in 20 years — you might live long enough to take a bus from here to Bellevue where you can catch a ride on a light rail train to Seattle.
Sound Transit has sweetened the pot in just about every city in three counties to get voters to say yes. Sammamish would get additional bus runs on Sound Transit express buses to downtown Seattle. Voters must decide if that’s enough to justify a sales tax increase to raise $17.9 billion for the bus/light rail package.
We vote no. Prop. 1 will only put 20 percent of its tax collections toward more buses.
It just may be that the notion of light rail in the Puget Sound region is too late. The only traffic solution we envision is one that gives drivers the option to use their very own driveway as a personal park & ride. We need collector buses that go into neighborhoods, then connect to buses to take people where they need to go when they need to get there.
Voters thought they’d gotten the message to Sound Transit when they rejected a similar proposal only a year ago. The cost is too great — King County would have one of the highest sales tax rates in the nation — and the wait too long for light rail to kick in.
Another traffic related ballot issue is I-985. The initiative seeks to open carpool and bus lanes to all traffic except during peak hours of 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m. weekdays. While it’s a tempting notion, the change comes with a price tag. Funds would be diverted from state taxes already in place. But most of all, there is no clear evidence that it would make much difference in drive times. Vote no.

Skyline graduate to debut at Bake’s Place

The Josh Rawlings Trio, which is scheduled to play at Bakes Place at Providence Point Oct. 17
To think, the future Josh Rawlings once had mapped out involved the rock star route to fame and fortune, with him comfortably seated behind the skins of his drum set.
Even in the marching band at Skyline High School, the quad drums had that rock element.
His path to becoming the next Keith Moon veered, however, when he joined the school’s jazz band and vocal jazz choir. Now, the Seattle music scene may well be ready to learn about the next Herbie Hancock.

Anyone who has ever been to the Nightmare at Beaver Lake event during the Halloween season in Sammamish probably had quite a thrill.

The fifth annual “haunt” event is the fruit of more than 100 peoples’ volunteer labor, with planning beginning last March, said Rotary Club of Sammamish volunteer coordinator Del Goehner.

Ahh, the college-prep season. A time when high school juniors and seniors begin the long and often arduous task of researching, testing for and applying to various colleges around the country.
Each school’s career center becomes filled with antsy college-bound students, who pick through pages and pages of university rating books, vocational school pamphlets and other college literature to find the one that fits them best.
October is the busiest month of the year for college representatives visiting area high schools. Some representatives can visit up to four schools a day, said Alexander Subert, senior assistant director of Read more
