Last Saturday was the 9th annual Race Your House!…a fun, low key “race” around the buoys. This year, the weather was perfect with an avg of 10 knots of wind and temps in mid 50s. The course went from buoys off of Shilshole to Bainbridge Is. and back…11.2 miles and everyone was home in under 4 hours. Congratulations to not just the winners of each class but to all who participated! Put it on your schedule for next Fall!

About a month ago I filed a complaint with the Seattle Buildings and inspection department objecting to the removal of four trees just to the North of the marina office. I objected that these were mature trees that were possibly within the shoreline management acts distance from the water that would require a permit. The cities tree removal ordinance (SMC 25.11) requires a permit also.
The complaint was assigned to a Betty Rasmussen. I spoke with Betty today and she says that she contacted a Robert Hoyman at the port asking for a arborist report. The file number of the complaint is 009478-19CP. I offered to Betty to be the point person for this issue since she is swamped with complaints. Post to this forum and I will relay to Betty.
This is not the first time the marina has removed trees with no apparent notice. I mostly want to know where substitute trees have been planted as required under the law. I will update the community as further developments occur. Thank you. Dan Kruzich, D-11.
Would you please throw me a line!
