Kirkland to be cut in half this weekend due to I-405/NE 85th Street Interchange
How do you make room for a bus stop in the middle of the freeway? You move the freeway — and that’s what’s happening on Northeast 85th Street in Kirkland. Sound Transit’s new Bus Rapid Transit line on Interstate 405 (I-405) includes a new direct access ramp and bus stop in the middle of the freeway at 85th.

A History of Helping: Deming Logging Show Marks 61 Years of Supporting ‘Busted-Up Loggers’
In 1963, a local logger named Leon Van Brocklin was injured in the woods. An injury like this could be devastating, as loggers were often the sole source of income for their families in these times. Seeing the need to help, a group of Van Brocklin’s peers organized a logging show, an exhibition of all the skills these men used in the woods every day. A local farmer donated use of a cow pasture equipped with spar trees, a pond for log rolling, and other materials for events. Charging a small fee of $1 per person, the event raised more than $800 for the injured logger, equivalent to more than $8,200 today.
