Martha “Marty” McLaren, a past West Seattle/South Park representative on the
Seattle Public Schools Board of Directors, has died. Ms. McLaren, a Puget Ridge resident, was 76 years old. She was a longtime educator and community advocate, but her highest-profile role was that of board member. She won election in 2011 by unseating incumbent
Steve Sundquist and then four years later was unseated herself by current board member
Leslie Harris. We talked with Ms. McLaren after her election in 2011; she spoke of her teaching career following her involvement with advocacy as a PTA leader while her children were in school. More details on her life are in her obituary, which we’ve just received:
Public facilities district approves $1.4 million for South Kitsap raceway project Christian Vosler, Kitsap Sun
The Kitsap Public Facilities District board of directors on Monday approved an agreement with the Port of Bremerton to fund the final design of Circuit of the Northwest’s proposed South Kitsap raceway project.
Under the agreement, which the Public Facilities District (PFD) board passed 5-2, the port will front $1.4 million for Circuit of the Northwest’s final design and the PFD will pay the port back over an as-of-yet undetermined number of years.
“I’m very pleased the board has chosen to support this as it’s going to be a great asset to the entire Kitsap community,” Port Commissioner Axel Strakeljahn said.

While the Department of Labor and Industries is getting, on average, 329 complaints a day about businesses defying Governor Inslee’s coronavirus restrictions, only a handful of businesses statewide have actually gotten to the point of incurring fines.
Complaints come in concerning businesses that are open in defiance of the governor’s orders, that are providing prohibited services, or that are not correctly following the precautions. Many of those complaints are concerning the same few dozen businesses.
“I believe the total, since all of this began, is 40 to 50 businesses that we have received complaints on, and that we have moved forward to cite and fine them,” said Tim Church, communications director for L&I.
