For less than the cost of a Subway sandwich, you can get in on the next great tech marvel called Virtual Reality.
At the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, guns fell silent across France. Peace broke out that day, and soon ‘Johnnie came marching home’ back to the U.S. For many years, Nov. 11 was recognized as Armistice Day — a day Americans gave recognition and thanks to our World War I veterans.
When we can give children the opportunity to lead better lives, we should seize it. We have that chance in this year’s general election by voting to support King County Proposition No. 1, the Best Starts for Kids levy.
While the tragic accident at 140th Avenue Northeast and Bel-Red Road continues to be investigated, two letter writers on this page have raised issues that we suspect are on many people’s minds.
The death of a 28-month-old toddler, the victim of a car crash that caused a vehicle to smash into her stroller, is wrenching. We expect parents everywhere shuddered when they heard the news.
I am writing in response to the Bellevue City Council enactment of a False Alarm Ordinance.
Let me start out by stating that I am not a dog owner. I like dogs, but I’m not in the “dog-lover” category.
I used to work in a grocery store and we were told it was corporate policy to not ask people to take their animals outside.
As of late last week, 33 ‘large’ fires were burning across Washington state and in Oregon — 20 in Washington alone.
There has been considerable press lately concerning the significance of trees to one’s health; however, music also seems to be of importance to our wellbeing. If this is true about music then within the shadow of the Sammamish/Issaquah Plateau there is an abundance of opportunities to experience the nourishing aspects of music.
On a trip to the west side (of the state) this past weekend, I had the delightful opportunity to see a Shakespeare play in Ashwood Park. How fortunate it is that Bellevue has this small park in the midst of all those tall buildings, where a person can simply walk over, sit on the grass, feel the breeze and be entertained by very talented troop of players, The Wooden O. I was also pleased that the event was free. Way to go Bellevue and look forward to visiting again and seeing more plays in Ashwood Park.
In a letter to the editor in the Aug 7 Opinion page stated that there is “No better time to ‘solarize’,” raises an interesting question. Where does PSE get the money to pay $0.54 for a kilowatt-hour of electricity they sell to others for $0.08?
I am a paraplegic who uses a wheelchair full time. I cannot stand or walk at all. We took our granddaughter to Crossroads Theater in Bellevue yesterday and after drinking their mega-sized “small” lemonade I was shocked to be told that there are no wheelchair-accessible bathroom stalls because they are “remodeling” their restrooms.
What is it about people who think it is okay to bring a dog into a grocery store or a restaurant? The better question might be: Why doesn’t anyone object? While I love my own dog — a tiny elderly mini-Dachshund — I do not, would not, take him into a grocery or restaurant. And why? It is prohibited Washington food code, in conjunction with the FDA Food Code 2009 (See FDA Food Code 2009: Sec. 6-501.115 Prohibiting Animals).
As a Bellevue resident and high -schooler who is passionate about securing a clean energy future for my generation, I wanted to expand on some of the personal and financial reasons why people should go solar now.
Alzheimer’s disease is becoming more and more familiar, and will continue to do so until there will be virtually no one left untouched by a personal story around Alzheimer’s.
Fifty years ago, on July 30, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed Medicare and Medicaid into law as an amendment to the Social Security Act. In that year, almost half of those 65 and older in the United States, did not have health insurance. They lived in fear that getting sick or going to a doctor would send them and their families into poverty.
It isn’t hard to believe that the uber popular Chick- fil-A restaurant that opened up here three months ago would eventually receive an unsatisfactory health inspection — and its customers should shoulder some of the blame.
With more than 10 unique cities, nearly half a million people and a diverse and thriving portfolio of businesses, East King County has rapidly become one of the nation’s most sought-after places to live, raise a family and work.
Today is my last day at the Reporter. I’m retiring. It’s been fun, interesting and personally rewarding.
