Proposals are accepted starting a week before the walk (which is April 25) and for two weeks afterwards. Please read the blurb below and send your ideas to info@pinehurstseattle.org, or contact the city directly as shown in the blurb.
They are all in favor of replacing the overcrowded and old precinct building, but are looking for ways to reduce the cost of the current proposed design. They are for hiring more police officers, but reminded us that our crime problems aren’t all solved by police. There are root causes that need to be addressed via social services, such as drug addiction, mental illness, lack of affordable housing. Crime statistics indicate that burglaries are down this year so far, as well as auto theft. Sexual assault is up (but vast majority is by non-strangers), as is domestic violence. Most of them involve drugs or alcohol. Car prowls are up 12% over last year – 1400 year to date. Hot spot is Green Lake and up Aurora to 105th. Read all the minutes here.
We invite everyone who made suggestions, and anyone else who is interested, to meet with us for a preliminary planning meeting to discuss the upcoming walk (which is April 25), go over the suggestions, and decide which to propose at the upcoming city-hosted walk planning meeting (April 11). Our Council’s planning meeting is Thursday, April 6, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm in the back room at Amante Pizza, 12319 Roosevelt Way NE. We hope to see you there! Six year old Kaitlyn drew this beautiful rainbow at Pinehurstfest last summer. She got the science right, too – rain + sun = rainbow. Thanks, Kaitlyn, it looks great in the Pinehurst Pocket Park kiosk!. It will be there through April. The park is on the corner of NE 117th & 19th Ave NE. If you would like to submit your child’s artwork for the Pocket Park, please email nancy@pinehurstseattle.org.
Hello Pinehurst!!
Standard Bakery was started in 2014 by me, Josh Grunig, a career baker and passionate food enthusiast. I started the bakery as a weekly pop-up in the Central District. After a year, I ventured into wholesale for coffee shops throughout Seattle. In 2015, we began selling at farmers markets including the Fremont SundayMarket and U-District Farmers Market.
We specialize in croissants, cookies, muffins and naturally leavened sourdough bread. Our focus is sourcing our primary ingredients from Washington. We love featuring seasonal produce like cherries, apples and apricots directly from local farms. We are also exploring the amazing flavors that come from whole grain baking. We use several different types of wheat flour including emmer, red fife and hard red wheat all sourced from local farms.
Standard Bakery has been operating out of our space at 11752 15th Ave NE since October of last year. We are putting together our building permits and contractors to complete our retail and get open to the neighborhood. We plan to offer breakfast, lunch, pastries, espresso and ice cream. We are looking forward to opening in June or July just in time for the summer heat.
Until then, I would like to personally invite everyone in Pinehurst 2nd Saturdays beginning April 8 from 9am to 12pm. We will be offering our full pastry assortment, sliced sourdough bread and drip coffee. See you then!
I am very excited to join the neighborhood.
Best regards,
 Josh GrunigStandard Bakery

Pinehurst Pocket Park Work Party 9:30-11:30 am, Saturday April 8, 2017
Please come on out if you want to help with the annual sprucing up of the PPP! A couple hours of our time makes in big difference in the appearance of our local park. The PPP is at the corner of 19th Ave NE and NE 117th St.
We’ll spend some time weeding and then spread some fresh bark mulch. So bring your favorite weeding tool and a bucket. A pitchfork and wheelbarrow could also come in handy.
All are welcome, see you there!

Recently someone in Facebook’s Pinehurst/Olympic Heights Buy Nothing group asked for help with how to effectively communicate with our legislators. Another member, a political science adjunct faculty member at North Seattle College and former congressional staffer, offered to help set up a meeting and speak to this issue. It was a well organized meeting with good attendance. The speaker, Jill Lane, was outstanding. The information presented is a useful guide for how to make your voice heard and your opinion count. A handout from the meeting tells how to write a letter, and gives contact information for all our state and federal legislators. You can read it here. For minutes from the meeting, look here. These include the relative effectiveness of different communication methods, such as phone calling, letter writing, petition signing, office visiting hours, town hall meeting, fax. An important thing to remember is that even if you think your legislator has the same opinion on an issue as you, it is still worth letting them know your opinion. It’s our civic responsibility to be engaged, including voting and communicating with our legislators once they’re in office! Here is a partial picture of Pinehurst property crime for the month.
