WRITING budgets and passing laws in Olympia have their own learning curves, but the process relies on the experience and expertise of the legislators dispatched by voters.

Here are three strong candidates in District 32, which covers northwest King and southwest Snohomish counties, and includes Edmonds, Woodway, Shoreline, Kenmore and Lake Forest Park.

Republican David Baker, mayor of Kenmore, is a solid choice to replace state Sen. Darlene Fairley, who did not seek re-election. Fairley, a Democrat from Lake Forest Park, has served in the Senate since 1995.

Future of Carole Ann Wald Pool remains unclear, Kenmore officials say

Even after a visit from the director of the state parks and recreation commission, local officials say the future of the Carole Ann Wald Pool remains unclear.

However, the possibility of the closed facility reopening any time soon also seems remote at best.

In comments made during a Kenmore City Council meeting July 19, Rex Derr, director of the Washington Parks and Recreation Commission, seemed to leave the door open for a new operator to take over the facility in St. Edward State Park, according to Mayor David Baker and other councilmembers.

But before the meeting ended, Derr turned in a letter that seemed a lot less optimistic regarding the pool’s future.

Artscape: Bastyr University Movie Soundtracks

KENMORE, WA (KPLU) - In the theater or on your couch you might not pay detailed attention to movie soundtracks, but they do at Bastyr University in Seattle (Kenmore).

You see, the naturopathic university campus is on the site of a former Catholic seminary. A part of the seminary featured a chapel built in 1958. The acoustics turned out to be gorgeous. Big, full, but with no echo.

A few small choirs began recording there and the word got out. Exceptional sound. Hollywood found out and fell in love with the venue.
