PulsePoint and CPR: Co-host David Wobrecht described Kirkland as a “PulsePoint connected city” and explained that PulsePoint is “an app, that can notify folks nearby if there is a call in for a cardiac arrest,” allowing trained bystanders to receive alerts and provide CPR until emergency responders arrive. Hosts noted the city offers CPR and AED training and that listeners can opt into PulsePoint alerts if they are trained. “Because literally seconds matter when someone is having a heart attack,” a host said.

Gun-safety and collection programs: The podcast also called attention to firearm-safety work in Kirkland and prevention activities tied to Wear Orange Day. Co-host Angela Brown said the city’s “guns for gift cards” collection program has collected “over 225 unwanted firearms since 02/2022” and reported a recent event that turned in 34 unwanted guns. The city also offers free gun locks through the police department’s gun-safety program, the hosts said.

Why it matters: PulsePoint and local CPR training expand the pool of potential responders for out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and can save lives if trained bystanders act quickly. Firearm collection programs and free gun locks are described as prevention measures intended to reduce accidental shootings and remove unwanted firearms from circulation.

Next steps and access: The hosts encouraged listeners to download the PulsePoint app and select CPR alerts if they are trained. They also encouraged use of the police department’s free gun locks and participation in future collection events; details and links were referenced as available in the podcast show notes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","This Week in Kirkland - June 5 - Learn the Code Phrase to Score a Free Juanita Friday Market Tote","oneSentenceSummary","City hosts on the June 5 podcast described PulsePoint CPR alerts, city CPR training and a firearm collection program that has taken in more than 225 unwanted firearms since February 2022; they also noted a recent collection event that turned in 34 firearms.","taxTitle","Kirkland, King County, Washington","taxId",2569,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6211495,"Kirkland council discussed zoning updates and adopted new transportation impact fee schedule",76,260000,336000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3695308-c8b915b600e936a946118beed9c3b4e0&start=260&end=336","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3695308-c8b915b600e936a946118beed9c3b4e0/thumbnail_260000.jpg","/articles/6211495/Kirkland/King-County/Washington/Kirkland-council-discussed-zoning-updates-and-adopted-new-transportation-impact-fee-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211495-007004d71729baddf822e2a76bc65182/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197193&Signature=ldNg6mAG9jP65az3ua5YWJHYH2BzT6Gezg0RTndHE2dc6Ve8VYC-GYuEcHzJq9JckLolyygFvZVkGu~dAmDD-PizYOeAOeppR4f39Q2m-IdH2~SDn3PBvBHv1LysWYHflwe4Z3NISuIVkIIIbjvs4~3ih3Rf0yr-AjYU8xuUbutI6eXqtAHXzh7h1yfStiDCYAI6MLEf6w0ItzMFa0OxulVu9YVBASlLTX7JSNEzPfSadc61pxXGwwSS7RzS8T0FcbK58uclvd--jYDH9vnXcDBj~b9lXPgSSb0QsN7883wrqL7YvG2pJOt27lRtRsaHzDac~dKxmqgyWQejAyV8EA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Kirkland City Council on June 3 discussed zoning-code updates intended to implement state-mandated middle-housing and accessory dwelling unit rules and adopted a new transportation impact fee schedule, the City of Kirkland reported on its June 5 podcast.

Council discussion: According to the podcast, council considered changes affecting middle housing, accessory dwelling units, parking standards and design review across low-, medium- and high-density residential zones to comply with state requirements. The episode said council “discussed the Kirkland zoning code to implement state mandated requirements for middle housing, accessory dwelling units, parking, and design review with low, medium, and high density residential zones.” The council also held a study-session conversation on an upcoming transit needs study and reviewed options for a dedicated bike lane along Central Way and near Peter Kirk Park.

Action taken: The podcast said the council adopted a new fee schedule for transportation impact fees; the episode did not include a vote tally or record of which councilmember moved or seconded the measure. The adoption of the fee schedule was reported as part of the business agenda.

Additional items: The podcast also noted the council received a special presentation on health-care issues from EvergreenHealth CEO Dr. Ettore Palazzo. A separate public hearing was announced for June 12 on zoning updates around the Goodwill and Michael’s sites in Juanita; planning commission staff will hold a hybrid meeting and an open house at 4:30 p.m. to gather community input.

Why it matters: Changes to zoning rules and parking standards shape where housing can be built and how projects are reviewed; transportation impact fees affect developers’ project costs and future infrastructure funding. The council’s study-session review of transit and bike-lane options could influence next steps for roadway design and active-transportation funding.

What’s next: The podcast directed listeners to City of Kirkland meeting materials and live streams for full agendas and recording. The June 12 planning-commission hybrid meeting was cited as the next opportunity for public comment on Juanita-area zoning updates.","On June 3 the Kirkland City Council discussed zoning-code changes to implement state-mandated middle housing and ADU rules, reviewed transit and bike-lane study options, and adopted a revised transportation impact fee schedule, the city podcast reported June 5.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6211499,"Juanita Friday Market reopens with expanded vendors, kids club and tote giveaways",1581,23000,1604000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3695308-c8b915b600e936a946118beed9c3b4e0&start=23&end=1604","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3695308-c8b915b600e936a946118beed9c3b4e0/thumbnail_23000.jpg","/articles/6211499/Kirkland/King-County/Washington/Juanita-Friday-Market-reopens-with-expanded-vendors-kids-club-and-tote-giveaways","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6211499-454ff4e25af0a66a394883217a18991e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771197193&Signature=fhVii39YV2lfFCVZnrCyqXp~3rJIpnL0YYH1tDHRa3lpqBhiibJrXvNVSyH834aloTMtZ-jgag6m9sI03RIXyGd9wToED7rFPtIBIgaM6PJd-yUxEw78Vxip-V1luy1g8fNY38HNCCF4ohYUAqokFyFz5rowBAaj5WXWgp30vP4E2L2Xg7fKgXaNPj8X9QZN3LmeOZwG2wecSaUfp1UWdNE62aeN~ZqnJR9Jlard~Szh7BplQnBujWujRLSV9DYODDR2XA4rq4Fzn~n959sbWDv3J42xTbyheBjrRxUpkjwiSgMrfrKcOnwnfT5A-uzte40v0JJBkBTY~fB5g0EplQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Juanita’s Friday Market will open Friday, June 6, running 3–7 p.m. each Friday through Sept. 6 and featuring more vendor space, weekly live music and new kid-focused programming, Danielle Weese, the city’s program assistant and the market manager, said on the June 5 episode of the City of Kirkland podcast.

The market’s 19th season will include a reconfigured layout to increase space for new vendors, more food options and special events, Weese said. “The Juanita Friday market runs every Friday from June to September,” she said. The city will also offer a Market Explorer kids club on the second Friday of each month, a $2 token for participating children to spend on fruits or vegetables, and weekly live music; on June 13 the market will feature songwriter Larry Morant, Weese said.

Why it matters: The market is a local hub for small businesses, seasonal food access and community programming. Organizers said they expect the changes to broaden vendor diversity and draw families. The market accepts federal nutrition benefits: the Farmers Market Nutrition Program (linked to WIC) and a senior benefit for low-income seniors, which provide tokens or purchasing assistance at farmers’ booths.

Organizers described several new visitor incentives. Weese said the city will distribute 500 promotional tote bags over the season: 50 on opening day and then a limited number (10 per market) available to visitors who provide a rotating code phrase at the information booth. Hosts said the special code phrase for opening events is “This Week in Kirkland.” “If you want a very special Friday market bag, all you need to say is This Week in Kirkland,” host Jim Lopez said on the podcast.

Program details and access: The market runs from 3 to 7 p.m. at Juanita Beach Park; vendors last season represented roughly 16 cultures, organizers said. The Market Explorer pilot for school-aged children will pair a short educational activity with a $2 token that can be spent on produce. Bright Horizons is the sponsor for the kids program, Weese said. The market will also spotlight themed days (for example, pet day) and a weekly artist or musician on the main stage; Park Shore at Juanita Bay sponsors the main stage.

Organizers encouraged community participation and volunteering. The podcast hosts noted free giveaways and photo opportunities on opening day and said the city will publicize volunteer sign-ups and additional market details in the episode show notes. Information about vendor applications, the kids club and market events is available on the City of Kirkland site, the hosts said.

The opening-day tote distribution and the kids-club calendar provide immediate opportunities for families; future markets will continue the token and nutrition programs through the season.","The Juanita Friday Market opens June 6 with expanded vendor space, weekly music, a Market Explorer kids club and a season-long tote giveaway for visitors, city staff said on the June 5 episode of the City of Kirkland podcast.","actionData","errors"]
