� e Kirkland City Coun-cil has voted to take a side in a state-wide battle over two opposing state gun initiatives.

At a special meeting Oct. 13, the council voted 6-1 in favor of a resolu-tion expressing support for Initiative 594, while passing

a separate resolution oppos-ing Initiative 591.

If approved, I-591 would require background checks for all gun purchases and transfers in the state, though the initiative pro-vides exemptions for gi� s between immediate family members or for antiques. I-591 would prohibit law enforcement from con� s-cating guns without due

process, or from requiring background checks on � rearm recipients unless a uniform national standard is re-quired. I-591 has been endorsed by the Washing-ton Council of Police and Sheri� s (WACOPS), of which the Kirkland Police Guild is a member. WACOPS also

opposes I-594. � e vote came up a� er Kirkland residents re-

quested the council support I-594. � e idea was taken up by the legisla-tive committee, headed by Coun-

cil member Dave Asher. � e committee

voted to consider I-594 but also recommended

considering I-591. Before a vote was taken, the council heard arguments from representatives of the Yes on I-594 campaign, Yes on I-591 campaign, and No on I-594 campaign. Advocates for I-594 argued that there needs to be a law that out-laws private gun purchases without background check. Opponents, including a licensed � rearms instructor

and combat veteran, stated that I-594 de� nes a gun transfer in such a way every time he hands someone a � rearm he will be breaking the law.

Section 2, paragraph 25, de� nes a transfer as “the in-tended delivery of a � rearm to another person without consideration of payment or promise of payment

It seems too farfetched for even an episode of Breaking Bad.

A drug operation 300

hundred feet away from an elementary school. Under-ground bunkers for grow-ing marijuana and later a shooting range. “Johns” crawling through side win-dows to solicit prostitutes. And former Seattle Sonics basketball player Robert Swi� .

Yet that is what Redmond and Kirkland police found a� er they raided a Juanita home on the same street as Helen Keller Elementary, where they discovered a small arsenal of weap-ons and drugs following years of neighborhood complaints. � e Reporter

obtained the information in an investigation by gather-ing hundreds of police and court documents through public records requests.

� e owner, Trygve Lief Bjorkstam, 54, has been charged by the King County Prosecutor’s O� ce with buying, manufacturing

and selling methamphet-amine and heroin out of his home on the 14000 block of 108th Ave. NE. His bail has been set at $60,000.

A 36-year-old Kirkland man and level three sex o� ender has been arrested a� er he was allegedly caught groping a woman in Seattle.

� e man, who is under Washington State Depart-ment of Corrections’ (DOC) supervision, was taken into custody Oct. 15 a� er he was recognized by DOC o� cers in a photo a Seattle woman posted on Twitter claiming he had groped her. � e man was required to wear a GPS bracelet, which showed he had violated the terms of his probation.

� ough charges have not yet been � led, police are now investigating possible connections to other grop-ing incidents reported in Seattle.

� e man was convicted in 2012 for third-degree assault a� er he grabbed a woman’s breast. He was

sentenced to 20 months in prison but only served � ve. He was also convicted of similar incidents in 2002 and 2003. He is registered as living in Kirkland at the 12200 block of 95th Pl NE.

Shortly a� er he moved to Kirkland to live with his mother, the man received messages in May that were written on Dilbert comic strips telling him to move out of the neighborhood.

“If you want sex, go pay a hooker,” the message also read.

� e message prompted a community meeting, in which the man apologized for his past behavior. He also said he did not like children, only women, which made the attendees uncomfortable, according to police documents.

� e man later com-plained a neighbor would ride by the house on his bike and give him dirty looks.

Kirkland firefight-ers recently got to meet a two-

month-old infant boy they saved shortly after he was born in August without a pulse.

Firefighters from Sta-tion 27 and Battalion 21 and Redmond Fire Medic One at Evergreen Hospital responded to a call Aug. 4 at around 7:13 p.m. saying that a newly born baby boy was not breathing, possibly due to his umbilical chord get-ting pinched during his delivery.

When firefighters reached the home in the Totem Lake neighbor-hood two minutes later,

a nurse was performing CPR, but the baby had no pulse. The firefighters took over and continued the resuscitation efforts, finally regaining a pulse. They performed resus-citation measures for approximately 30 minutes

after regaining a pulse. Jeffrey was later trans-ported to Children’s Hos-pital and is now home with his parents without apparent disability.

The firefighters met the parents and the boy, Jeffrey, on Oct. 8.

Klebeck hopes Kirkland residents will be drawn to the cafe with its distinct 1920’s donut recipe and coffee brewed in small batches by the staff.

“We pride ourselves on do-ing things in small batches,” he said. “We take pride in all the food we create.”

The name for the cafe derives from a neon sign for an old Chinese res-taurant named “TopSpot”

the Klebeck brothers kept at their parents’

house. When they finally sent the sign to get refurbished the “s” fell off, caus-

ing the sign to read “Top pot.”

At first they thought the sign was ruined, until they decided to go with

the name, using a per-colator image to replace missing “s” in the sign when they opened their first store on Capitol Hill in Seattle in 2002.

They now have cafes in Seattle, Bellevue, Mill Creek, Bothell, Renton, Redmond, Issaquah and recently opened a cafe in Dallas.

“I always jokingly said it’s the longest job I ever held,” Klebeck said.

including, but not limited to, gifts and loans.”

An advocate for I-594 stated that the transfer requirement does not apply to immediate families, for self-defense, kids under 18 for educational purposes.

Section 3 of I-594 includes the full list of exemptions.

Mayor Amy Walen told the Reporter she initially expressed reservations about the council taking up the issue, but when they did she decided to voice her support.

Council member Dave Asher, who said he is a lifetime member of the Washington Arms Collec-tor Association, stated there were problems with I-594 but it should be supported nevertheless and allow for legislators to make changes to the law.

“The giant leap forward

that it makes in closing off some of the pathways for the sale and transfers far exceed the imperfections of the bill,” he said. “Is it an in-fringement on our Second Amendment rights? I don’t think so. I view background checks as pretty fundamen-tal, too. If we can’t do some-thing about some of the things, the heinous things that have gone on since the turn of the century, then we ought to give up and go home. But we can do something.”

WAC hosts show guns shows across the state and require members to pass a background check before they can purchase firearms from registered WAC vendors, though private vendors are not required.

Jay Arnold also said there were problems with I-594 but the issues could be addressed later on. He dis-closed prior to the vote he

performs contract work for FUSE Washington, progres-sive advocacy organization and an endorser of I-594.

“The real thing to look there is what’s the intent specified?” he said.

Toby Nixon was the only council member to vote no on both initiatives resolu-tions, stating that the coun-cil shouldn’t take a side on either initiative.

“We have heard no testimony from city staff or any member of the public about how either of these initiatives will specifically affect the city, such as the impact on our police or code enforcement offi-cers,” he said. “I have never understood why we go out of our way to raise conten-tious issues when there is no requirement that we do so…We should let the people of Kirkland decide for themselves without tak-ing sides.”

I-594 is misleadingLet’s begin with the assertion that our Second

Amendment rights will not be violated.Supporters imply that it is merely a background

check for � rearm purchases and registration. If it were true, concealed pistol license (CPL) permit holders would be exempt since they already got � ngerprinted and passed a background check dur-ing the CPL application and approval process. Not exempt.

� e ads supporting I-594 say you can purchase a � rearm online with no background check. Wrong. A � rearm purchased from gunbroker.com and other online retailers must be sent to a dealer with a federal � rearms license (FFL) where you may only receive it a� er � ling the federal and state paperwork and paying the state sales tax.

I-594 says you can purchase a � rearm “no ques-tions asked” at a gun show. � e largest gun show in the state, over 20,000 members, requires each member to pay for a background check before joining. Only members can buy or sell � rearms, no exceptions.

� e 18 page initiative uses the word “transfer” in-stead of “sale” to require both parties to � ll out state paperwork, even if the � rearm transaction consists of loaning your ri� e to your uncle for a weekend hunting trip. Do you really believe that criminals and those with mental illness will be a� ected? Only the law abiding citizens, who are not the group we need to control, will be impacted.

I-594 is worded in a way to produce misleading results.Daniel Barton, Kirkland

Thou shalt not killI can’t believe when I hear the news on the radio,

or watch the news on TV, there is at least one story about a killing by � rearms.

I also can’t believe there are organizations that don’t demand that all persons who want to buy a � rearm shouldn’t have a background check if they want to buy a � rearm at a gun show online. � at � rearm should be registered by serial numbers.

Yes, I agree that everyone has the Constitutional right to bear arms; but I also agree that everyone has the Constitutional right to be able to walk down the street and not be afraid of a drive-by-shooting or drive down the street or drive down the freeway and not be shot at because of road rage. Or when working at their job, not to be afraid of an ex-employee entering the work place and killing their ex co-worker. Or being a parent and sending their children to school, being afraid that someone will enter the school, from college to grammar school, and start shooting. Or going to a store and always looking around to make sure that someone is not in the store to rob it and if anyone gets in their way or says anything they will kill them. Or someone leaving a bar or restaurant and someone is drunk and starts a � ght and then pulls out a gun and starts shooting. As you know there are so many examples I could state but I think you got the message.

I believe in the Second Amendment and also I believe, even more, in the Ten Commandments - especially “thou shalt not kill.”Mel Azno� , Kirkland

Vote no on I-594Whenever I see this well-funded campaign

urging votes for yes on I-594, assuring us that it “believes in the Second Amendment,” really it does, “but all it seeks is …” I can’t help but be reminded of how the walrus and the carpenter concealed their true intentions from the oysters they were address-ing in Lewis Carroll’s poem “O Oysters, come and walk with us!” � e Walrus did beseech, “A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, along the briny beach: …”

Why am I reminded of that? Because I think the real motivation behind this truly lavish campaign is an attempt from the anti-gun lobby to start o� what

might eventually be an end-run for them around the (unwelcome) decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, that the wording of the Second Amendment means what it was intended to mean, and not what they contended it should mean.

If there is such a glaring loophole in the purchase and sale of guns that needs to be addressed by I-594, why is it that none of the professional police associations have come out in support of it? Aren’t they the ones most at risk if such obvious loopholes exist?

And why does the campaign apparently seek to create the impression that just about anyone can walk into a Washington gun show and buy a weapon with no questions asked? � at just is not true, as anyone who has been through the process well knows.

Also, if someone seeks to buy (on-line or person-to-person) from a licensed gun dealer, that gun dealer will, by the terms of his or her Federal Firearms License, carry out a background check on the prospective buyer and the FBI under the NICS procedure (National Instant Criminal Background Check System), a check which intentionally takes less than two minutes. So, several background-check safeguards are already in place, contrary to the impression being given by the campaign for yes on I-594.

Further, how is it that cities with the most restric-tive gun-laws in the nation o� en have the highest number of gun-use crimes? No matter what rules or laws are passed, those with criminal intentions will acquire their guns with di� culty, while the law-abiding can so easily be deprived of any e� ective means to defend themselves against such criminals.

Let me suggest a three-part scenario the (wealthy) anti-gun lobby could be envisaging here. First pass I-594, even with its exaggeration, and eventually there will be a register of everyone who has bought or sold a weapon (to be maintained by yet another expensive bureaucracy, of course).

So what comes next? Why, the proclamation that the register does not contain the names and details of all those who purchased their weapons before the passage of I-594.

� us follows another lavish, well-funded cam-paign to convince others that there should be a register of everyone owning a weapon (law-abiding only, for obvious reasons), and its details, so that it cannot be sold without jumping through the bureaucratic hoops already in place.

What comes a� er achieving those two stages? Perhaps a win-win situation for the anti-gun lobby, whereby annual licenses are required for each weapon, with taxes and fees payable for each one

(necessary to sustain the burgeoning register’s bureaucracy), so that non-wealthy gun-owners are so overburdened they have no option but to start giving up ownership of weapons.

� e anti-gun lobby has by now achieved its long-sought agenda. � e Supreme Court’s unwelcome decision on the Second Amendment has been negated. Law-abiding citizens have largely been disarmed, even if they are now at the mercy of the still-armed criminals. But hey, c’est la vie.

In short, let me urge voters, concerned about their Constitutional freedoms, don’t be misled by this campaign. Vote no on I-594.H. Norman Whiteley, Kirkland

Democrats don’t trust us to make decisions

I’m a single mom raising two boys; it’s hard. Elected o� cials keep making it harder by taking more from me without any thought to the impact it will have on my family. Now, they tell me they want to increase the B&O tax, property tax, add sales tax on products the public rejected and they want an income tax. Both Democrats in the 45th District supported a lawsuit against the voters they represent who voted overwhelmingly in support of a 2/3 majority to raise taxes.

While telling my kids that I can’t take them on vacation or buy them the shoes they want and I can’t be home when they get home from school, I’m paying more than $5,000 in state and local taxes. What more could I o� er my children if I could keep even 10 percent of that money? Middle class parents like me want to be able to provide education-enhancing experiences for our kids, we want to be home with them as much as possible, but spiraling taxes make it harder for us to be with our kids. Study a� er study tells us the time we spend with kids determines how successful they will be. But, we have to spend more and more time away from our kids to feed the ravenous government monster. If they keep taking more, only the rich will be able to spend signi� cant time with their kids. � at is just wrong. � e Democrats don’t trust us to make decisions or to care for our children but they rely on us to earn the funds to pay for their bloated, self-serving government programs. Yes, I will pay my fair share but Olympia takes more than my fair share; I’m supporting wealthy people who have no need or right to my earnings. � at’s why I’m voting for Andy Hill; he proved he understands the harm taxes do. I will also vote for Joel Hussey and Bren-dan Woodward because they will work with Hill and the bi-partisan

Thank you for your con-sideration.Jeanie McCombs, Kirkland

Joan McBride is not qualified for office

Now that election time is drawing near I find I have to voice my right of free speech for or against some candidates.

First let me start with Joan McBride. I totally agree with Robert Styles’ assessment of her in his July 25 letter on “What McBride would bring to the 48th district.” Joan McBride was a mediocre mayor at best. While watching the council meetings on TV I found her fumbling through her paperwork and asking the council, “Where are we?” She caused the city and its citizens more problems than I can remember and now she wants to run for Cyrus Habib’s house posi-tion. Why? Because it is for the most part unopposed. In McBride’s editorial in the Kirkland Reporter of April 25 she stated that with Rod-ney Tom stepping down for family reasons “It was per-fectly clear to switch places with Habib. What great good luck, I would love to be called a senator but I would love to be called rep-resentative.” She also states, “It’s always been about serving the people.” Why didn’t you do that when you were mayor, Joan? Quoting Robert Styles, “she diverts local funds creating artificial nonexistent budget shortfalls in order to justify tax measures on the ballot.”

The only house she is qualified to run for is her own house. Joan McBride is simply looking for a new paycheck. Even as mayor, before leaving office she wanted a pay increase for the council and herself.

Did she get it? I do not know. As a representative member she would only be a puppet of Rep. Larry Springer, himself a one-time mayor of Kirkland. The city of Kirkland has not had a good mayor or city manager since Bill Woods, Al Lock and Bob Neir. These were people persons not politicians.

I do have to give Rep. Larry Springer credit for getting a liquor catering bill passed in only one or two weeks. Why was that? Could it be because Larry owns ‘The Grape Choice’ in

Kirkland and would benefit from it also? So why do we have to have one and two special sessions in order to get a budget passed in Olympia, Larry?

Roger Goodman also needs to step down as the 45th District representative. He is having way too many family problems. His mind is no longer on the peoples’ business. He has too many social and mental problems right now. Do the right thing Roger, as Rodney Tom did, and step down.

We need new faces in Olympia not people looking for a paycheck. Is this what we continuously want for our money? I ask you, is it?

In a recent poll only 25 percent of the people were in favor of Joan McBride running for office while 72 percent were not.

I leave it up to you, the voters, to decide.Duane Illg, Kirkland

Associations. As an elected official I respected his fair-ness and bipartisanship as a local elected official - until now.

After reading his joint editorial with Roger Goodman in the Kirkland Reporter, I think he’s just burned up all the good will he’s built in this community. We never heard anything about him being forced to vote for a budget until now when it’s politically expedi-ent. And it turns out that wasn’t even true, since there were plenty of votes for the budget to pass without his, he could have voted against it if he wanted to. But the political pressure to turn on Andy Hill was too much and Larry flopped like the rag doll he apparently is. What a disappointment.

I know elections are tough and there’s a lot of ex-citement around them, but for him to turn on his own vote for Andy Hill’s budget

just because the Democrats want to win Hill’s seat is quite frankly embarrassing. I wonder why he is in office if we can trust him.Kathy Finney, Kirkland

Elected officials are out of touch, vote for Michelle Darnell

This mid-term election is important and voters in the 48th have an impor-tant decision to make. Will they elect a status quo, corporate attorney to represent their inter-ests because he has a “D” by his name or will they elect a mom of four, who has owned and operated two businesses and who has been advocating for small business owners and homeowners in her capac-ity as a foreclosure defense paralegal for several years. Will they select a polished politician whose first re-sponse to budget shortfalls is to raise taxes across the board, even after he sup-ported a $8.7 billion tax exemption for Boeing with nearly no strings attached, or will voters support a bold, populist Republican who has felt their pain and will work to provide relief to small businesses and families struggling in this “jobless” recovery?

I am Michelle Darnell and I decided to run for

state senate because I feel Olympia is out of touch with the average voter in this district and this state. I have seen hundreds of businesses and families destroyed and I don’t agree that the “recession is over” or that “we live in an affluent educated district that doesn’t mind taxes.” I think many of our leaders on both sides of the aisle are out of touch.

I would seek to disman-tle the trifecta of “too big to fail” corporations, big labor and big government and represent the inter-ests of the middle class: the people who made this district and state great.

While certainly labor unions, government and corporations serve a valu-able purpose, when they are so large and coercive that they become self serv-ing, it is time to restore some balance.

Of course, I too believe education, transportation and preservation of our environment are critically important issues. I have children. But raising taxes on struggling families and businesses will be my “fall-back” position, not my “go-to” position. I think there are ways to be more efficient and get better results. Families and businesses do it every day.

For example, I support replacing the B&O with a fairer corporate tax. I support better prioritiza-tion of current revenues and I support reducing un-necessary regulations that disproportionately harm small businesses. Taxes should be fair and low for all and not just those who can afford to influence pol-icy. In that environment, we will see growth in the businesses that employ 42 percent of the work force and wages will rise organi-cally to levels beyond any arbitrary “living wage.” Consequently, families, businesses and communi-ties will be wealthier and more able to meet their own unique needs.

Families have lost over 40 percent of their net worth since 2007 and Olympia needs to be mindful of that. We need wealth creation before more taxation.

A wealthier society is a healthier, greener, hap-pier and more educated society.

If you agree, I would be honored to be your voice in Olympia. Please vote Michelle Darnell.Michelle Darnell, Kirkland

The blotter feature is both a description of a small selection of police incidents and a statistical round-up of all calls to the Kirkland Police Department that are dispatched to on-duty police officers.

Oct. 14Disorderly conduct: 8 p.m., 10800 block of 124th Ave NE. A 26-year-old

CERT seeks actors for drills

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) in Kirkland is seeking actors for disaster simulation drills.

CERT students, who will be graduating from an eight week CERT FEMA training course, must prove they know how to react in the event of a major disaster. � e organization is in need of volunteers to be the “vic-tims” of this disaster.

� e drill takes place Nov. 16 from 1-8 p.m. at Peter Kirk Community Center. Students age 14-16 may participate with a parent.

To register, go to www.kirklandCERT.com and sign up under “� nal drill volun-teer registration.”


� rearms that included AK-47s, pistols and a sawed-o� shotgun, according to police records.

� ey also discovered an entrance to a bunker located underneath his house, inside his bedroom.

Initially designed to be a marijuana grow operation, Bjorkstam admitted he has used it as a shooting range, the records continue. Upon further inspection, police determined that the guns had been � red while aimed at a neighbor’s house across the street.

� e Redmond police � rst began investigating the residence in August a� er receiving information from people claiming narcotics were being sold there, in addition to stolen property. Surveillance on the house for several months showed people entered the house

for short periods of time and then le� , which they concluded was consistent with distribution of drugs.

A con� dential police informant later made two purchases from Bjorkstam, noting his habit of carry-ing at least one � rearm on his person at all times, which Bjorkstam claimed was intended to deter any potential robbers, accord-ing to court documents.

A� er collecting the nec-essary evidence for a search warrant, the Redmond police carried out the raid on Oct. 4, a Saturday, when activity at the elementary school and nearby daycare centers would be minimal and lower the risk of danger to children.

A� er the raid was carried out, Bjorkstam was arrested inside. He was read his Constitutional rights and then waived them, giving police the combination to his safe. Among the drug paraphernalia allegedly found in the home included a frying pan with heroin, baggies containing crystal meth, capped and uncapped needles and pieces of used aluminum foil, the documents continue.

Bjorkstam’s truck was impounded pending a search warrant a� er a K9 unit gave a posi-tive alert to the presence or odor of drugs. Police found a drug ledger inside the truck, plus more used aluminum foil and two pen tubes with burn marks and residue, the documents continue.

During a later inter-view, Bjorkstam allegedly confessed to selling meth and heroin from his home. When police remarked

about its close proximity to the elementary school, he replied “I know, that’s not good, is it?”

Bjorkstam also claimed he was not “a big time drug dealer” and was dealing meth and heroin to pay his bills and support his own drug habits, police records state.

Also detained during the raid was Seattle Sonics

former NBA center Robert Swi� , 28, according to Kirkland police. He was not arrested or charged with any crime pertaining to the raid.

For neighbors, there is both a sense of relief and disquiet. While they are pleased to see a drug operation shut down, the fact that it was going on in the � rst place has le� many of them alarmed. Follow-

ing the raid, some of them approached the police and thanked them for the ar-rest, stating they had been living in fear and were well aware of the alleged drug activity, with one neighbor saying they delayed a family vacation.

“� at kind of activity makes me sick,” Mike Lud-wig said, who lives down the street from the house with his wife. Seventh-Day Adventists, they were about to head out to church that morning when they heard noise coming from outside. Ludwig said he initially thought they were ambu-lances, until they saw the bomb squad and heard a bullhorn telling the occu-pants of the home to come out. Grabbing their video camera, they recorded the raid from their house. � ough Ludwig said they did not personally notice any suspicious activity, oth-ers did.

“It’s a little disconcert-ing,” he said. “It’s not a bad neighborhood.”

Despite the alleged drug deals, a neighbor who knew Bjorkstam personally described him as respectful and never threatening, but struggling to � nd perma-nent employment a� er he lost his job at Boeing in 1992, eventually dri� ing into alcoholism and drugs. Boeing has con� rmed the man worked as an engi-neer with the company. He purchased the Kirkland house in 1997, according to King County property tax records.

Neighbors also claimed some of the tenants Bjork-stam rented rooms out to worked as prostitutes and had their john’s climb in through one of the win-dows on the side of the

house, albeit it was not known whether Bjorkstam was aware of the activity.

Kathryn Reith, communications director for the Lake Washington School District, said that while the district is pleased that the drug dealing has been stopped, they received no indication from police that the activity posed a direct threat to the stu-dents at the elementary school.

“It was a good thing it was a neighborhood where people were reporting things like that,” she said. “We are grateful to the neighbors for keeping an eye out.”

A 20 mph school-zone sign stands in front of the Juanita home.

Despite no criminal convictions, Bjorkstam’s address has been the site of more than 40 police incidents in the past five years since they took over from the King County Sheriff ’s Office following the 2011 annexation of Juanita, according to the documents. Most of these incidents took place during the last year.

The incidents ranged from domestic violence disputes with his 45-year-old girlfriend, to tenants who either had outstanding warrants or whom Bjorkstam fought with over rental agreements.

It was during these repeated calls that police learned about the cameras installed on his property, the firearms he possessed and the alleged drug activity. The documents also reveal neighbors had repeatedly called the police to report suspicious drug activity.

Kirkland Police Department spokesperson Mike Murray said they turned the investigation over to Redmond Police’s Pro Act unit when they suspected drug deals were being carried out at the home.

The Kirkland Police Pro Act unit was eliminated several years ago due to budget cuts, according to Murray.

In 2012, police responded to a domestic violence call at the house and arrested Bjorkstam’s girlfriend after she allegedly hit him in front of his then 18-year-old son. In March of this year, police responded to another domestic incident involving Bjorkstam and a tenant regarding their rental agreement after she refused to let him rent out one

of the rooms for which she was already paying rent. He allegedly tried to kick down the door to her bedroom, but ultimately no one was arrested. In August, police arrested a 21-year-old woman renting a room in Bjorkstam’s home on

an outstanding warrant. Five days prior, they had arrested a 35-year-old

man for an outstanding warrant for theft after being seen on Bjorkstam’s property, according to police documents.

A month later, police arrested a 27-year-old man at the residence for an outstanding warrant out of

King County.Two days before the SWAT raid took place, Kirkland

police responded to a domestic situation at the residence involving a 29-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man ar-guing in the driveway. The woman claimed the man owed

her money, hitting him with a stuffed monkey while yelling at him.

Murray stated that Bjorkstam was never arrested prior to the raid because none of the previous incidents provided sufficient evidence and no one was willing to testify against him.

Some of the police incidents also involved Swift, includ-ing one that took place a day after the SWAT raid. Ac-cording to Murray, he is still living in the home. Swift was evicted from his Sammamish home in 2013 after it was foreclosed.

Ironically, the new owners of his Sammamish home also discovered a makeshift shooting range in the basement storage area.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
