COVID-19 UPDATES: ‘BROADENING THE CRITERIA’ — INSLEE BRIEFED ON TESTING, ISOLATION, AND TRACING Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 - 3:24 pm

Here are the latest updates on the COVID-19 outbreak and response around the Seattle region, Capitol Hill, and the Central District. See something others should know about? EMAIL CHS or CALL/TXT (206)

From the IDM analysis

(PDF)

* TESTING, ISOLATION, AND TRACING: Gov. Jay Inslee addressed the state Wednesday but held off on any announcement regarding Washington’s “stay home” order set to expire June 1st. The governor is slated for another session Thursday or Friday and said he was considering possibly “broadening the criteria” for moving to the next phase of reopening after a briefing this week with researchers from the Institute for Disease Modeling. King County would need to achieve an infection rate of 10 new cases per 100,000 residents over a 14-day period to meet the state’s planned thresholds for Phase 2 reopening. Earlier this week, CHS reported that King County’s number of new cases remains around 3x higher than the target. Continue reading →

CAPITOL HILL COMMUNITY POST | LETTER FROM A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER AT

12TH AND PIKE

Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 - 12:01 pm

by CHS

_

FROM

JESSICA TRIMBLE, OWNER ENCHANT VERTICAL DANCE_ To my fellow Capitol Hill residents, No matter the situation, we are all struggling in these times. Many find themselves without work and struggling to pay their bills and even those with jobs are facing stress, anxiety and depression in these uncertain times. We all hear it daily: small businesses are being hit the hardest by COVID-19, but what does that truly mean? Aren’t there grants, loans and assistance in place for small businesses? The short answer, no, there really aren’t, but let me fill you in on the long answer. I own Enchant Vertical Dance, a contemporary pole dance studio on 12th and Pike. Enchant opened in December 2014 with a focus on combining classic dance technique with stunning pole tricks. We offer everything from beginner pole dance classes to Adult Ballet Fundamentals and pride ourselves in creating a supportive and inclusive community for anyone who wants to dance. Enchant has been very successful, expanding three times, twice within 2019 alone. We saw our attendance start to drop in early February and received numerous emails from people asking to cancel or reschedule due to COVID-19. We closed our doors on March 15th per Governor Inslee’s shelter in place mandate. Continue reading →

Reply

Chopp began his first term in the state legislature in 1995 FRANK CHOPP, one of the longest serving members of the WASHINGTON STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, officially filed for reelection of the 43rd district this week. Rep. Chopp, whose district includes Capitol Hill, Fremont, and Madison Park, has been serving since 1995 and was Speaker of the House for 20 years before stepping down last year. “We have a more progressive legislature now than we had in the two previous ones, so a big part of my effort will be working on solving the budget dilemma,” Rep.

21-STORY FIRST HILL ‘LIVING BUILDING’ UP FOR DESIGN REVIEW Posted on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 - 7:54 am

by CHS

Seattle’s

streamlined design review process seems destined to keep the city’s “stay home” population entertained. There is another comment deadline on a central city project up for administrative review this

week.

Today is the final day for comment on the proposed 21-story, super-green “Living Building” apartment tower being planned for the corner of Madison and 9th where the QUARTER LOUNGE, GEORGE’S DELICATESSEN, and the former home of LOTUS ASIAN KITCHEN stand. CHS wrote about the project from developers SUSTAINABLE LIVING INNOVATIONS and architect COLLINSWOERMAN last in February as it was geared up for a postponed design review. Continue reading

DEAR HUMANS, IT’S TIME TO HELP SHAPE THE DESIGN OF NEW HOUSING ACROSS FROM BROADWAY HILL PARK Posted on Monday, May 25, 2020 - 8:20 pm

by Ari Cetron

“Dear humans, I’m sad to say this will be my last spring bloom with you all…” (Image: @maniftendst

)

There

is good reason for the CITY OF SEATTLE’S streamlined design review process. And there is good reason for new housing across from rare Capitol Hill parkland. But it doesn’t make the scene passed by on so many COVID-19 walks at Federal and Republican any less melancholy. The little house and the blossoming tree are, indeed, enjoying their final

season.

The proposed project by Mercer Island-based SEALEVEL PROPERTIES at 1013 E Republican will use the outbreak-streamlined administrative design review process and is part of a sudden, busy pulse of review activity across Capitol Hill. It’s time to add your comments before the proposal is assessed. Owing to coronavirus restrictions, the city has adjusted development regulations to cut out the in-person meeting with the design review board and allow developers to instead go through an administrative process with a public comment period. The comment period for the project opened with notices to neighbors two weeks ago. It closes May 26. Continue reading →
