Seattle Parks and Recreation is asking the public to help name the Lake City park at the former Lake City Elementary School playground at 12312 26th Ave. N.E. It was acquired from the Seattle School District in 1987 after being declared surplus. Name suggestions should be sent in writing by November 16th, along with an explanation of how the proposed name fits the geographic, historical, cultural or geological significance of the site. Address ideas to Seattle Parks and Recreation, Park Naming Committee, 100 Dexter Ave. N., Seattle, WA 98109, or by e-mail to paula.hoff@seattle.gov.

The big news: All Pinehurst families would be guaranteed a spot in Eckstein Middle School and Nathan Hale High School. And, depending on where your family lives, you would be guaranteed a spot for elementary school at Olympic Hills, Olympic View or Sacajawea. Northgate Elementary would no longer be a neighborhood elementary school. AS #1 (K-8), Thornton Creek (K-5) and Jane Addams (K-8) will still be option schools for all in Pinehurst. Read more in the Seattle Times, Seattlepi.com, Save Seattle Schools Blog and at the Seattle Public Schools website. If you like these changes, please let the School Board and Seattle Public Schools know. The boundaries are in draft format and are not final. Public meetings and written comments will be taken over the next month. Your voice in this process is essential. For a complete list of meeting dates and times, please click here. You can also comment by e-mail, and postal mail. To take a survey and submit your comments, please click here. Proposed middle and elementary school attendance areas (click to enlarge): SEATTLE – The city of Seattle today announced the completion of a comprehensive effort to revamp and upgrade its winter storm readiness and response plan. In addition, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) welcomes aboard Monty Sedlak as the new director of Street Maintenance. “Based on nationwide best practices, our new plan will ensure Seattle is ready for any kind of winter storm,” said SDOT Director Grace Crunican. “With an aggressive, high-tech oriented approach and new leadership, SDOT will keep people and goods moving in Seattle during challenging winter weather.” Plan highlights include:
Designed in consultation with King County Metro Transit, city agencies and other key partners, the plan will facilitate a coordinated response that keeps buses moving and critical institutions accessible, including hospitals. Businesses and residents are reminded of their obligation to shovel sidewalks near their properties. Mr. Sedlak, formerly the Road and Bridge Division manager for Arapahoe County, Colo., possesses significant winter storm experience and will be a key leader in applying SDOT’s new snow response procedures as of October 26. To learn more about the plan and the new snow map, visit http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/winterweather.htm. The Seattle Times and Seattlepi.com have articles today about the updating of maps for flood-prone areas in Seattle. Seattle Public Utilities has added some and removed other areas in the Thornton Creek watershed area that are prone to flooding. The map below here shows the watershed area, but not the specific areas that are being designated at flood-prone. 
The map below here (from Seattlepi.com and taken from Seattle City records) shows designated flood-prone areas. Some of these areas are in Pinehurst.  Seattle’s Office of Emergency Managementn (OEM) will offer a basic SNAP (Seattle Neighborhoods Actively Prepare) class at the Lake City Library on Saturday, November 14, 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon. No registration necessary. For information about SNAP classes, SNAP’s fall leadership academy (sign up by Oct. 7), or Fall-Winter skills classes (e.g., disaster first aid), please contact Debbie Goetz, OEM, debbie.goetz@seattle.gov, 684-0517. St. George Episcopal Church on NE 125th St. will be again hosting Tent City 3 (for the third time), October 24th through January 2nd. Pinehurst neighbors were very generous with donating supplies and meals the last time St. George hosted the Tent City in late 2007. As more information is available on what will be needed this year, we will post those details here on the blog. Then North District Council needs you as their alternate needed for the Neighborhood Planning Advisory Committee.
