Hello and welcome to Lake to Lake a show about our beautiful city of bellevue, I'm, Robin, steel, hey Seth today on Lake to Lake, learn about a wonderful new downtown, sculpture exhibition and art walk the recent move of Bellevue's oldest structure, the promotion of some of Bellevue's finest great news for highland village residents and helpful home composting tips from the experts at seattle till in recent weeks. You may have noticed a few large art pieces around the city, but did you know that there are 32 sculptures located throughout downtown they're?

A

All part of the biannual sculpture and Art Walk exhibition called bellwether 2016.

B

So the bellwether exhibition in art, walk is a biennial, sculpture, show in downtown bellevue and it runs through october knife. If you come and experience the art walk, which begins at W City Hall and runs through the pedestrian corridor into downtown park. You'll see 32 artworks from artists from around the world and all these artworks were selected around a theme and the theme was confluence and what our panel and our Arts Commission really interested in is artworks and artists, who are bringing disparate ideas and people together.

B

Starting at City Hall, we have a really exciting installation by an artist by the name of John, Fleming and John. Fleming is an environmental artist and he did a special project with the Teen Advisory Committee at the Bellevue art museum. So it's a collaborative project between John and I. Think twelve teens. There are a number of artworks in about whether that are interactive.

B

One is a piece called reunion in the downtown park and it looks like a daggit. It has seats and so far we've been able to program music concerts and dance, but also when there's not a formal program going on. It invites people to come together and perhaps strike up a conversation.

C

B

To really animate this theme of confluence, which again is about bringing people and ideas together, something that we've never done before is that we're going to be hosting art, walk events on the first Friday of the month in September and in October, and between 1130am and 130pm will have performances and poetry, readings and temporary art installations along the exhibition route from City Hall all the way down to downtown park for more information about bellwether.

B

You can visit our website and that WWB lvov, backslash, 2016 bellwether and there you can find information about the artists on display about upcoming art walks, as well as information on scheduling tours and our story app. So if you want to see some really compelling artwork by artists from around the world who have created artwork designed to bring people together, let's come on down next.

Just a few days ago, in the middle of the night, the city's oldest structure took a ride through downtown bellevue, as Heather tres casas of the eastside Heritage Center explains. The structure now has a new home at chisholm beach park.

D

Today we are on site moving the historic burrows cabin originally built in 1883 by Albert burrows, who was a Civil War veteran and a Bellevue pioneer. The burrows family were involved in building bellevue's first school and Calanthe iya burrows, who was the daughter of albert burrows, was Bellevue's very first school teacher. We are preparing the cabin to move back close to its original location in Chisholm park. The boroughs cabin is Bellevue's oldest structure.

D

It was very important to us, Eastside Heritage Center, as well as the City of Bellevue and the family that owned the property to see this cabin preserved by moving it to a public park in a beautiful setting overlooking Lake Washington for public programming, perhaps special events and really put Bellevue's history in front of our community.

Last month was a special one for the police department. A ceremony was held for nine Bellevue police officers, who were promoted to higher ranks. Two were promoted to corporal 3d sergeant and two to captain. In addition, Pat arpan was appointed to serve as Bellevue's new deputy police chief Mayor John Stokes and chief my let honor the recipients and shared their gratitude for the great work. Our police officers do to keep Bellevue safe, major.

C

Urban is a very analytical individual, that's passionate about this organization and its men. He brings stability to the position and tremendous strong leadership and in as the Department continues to move forward, my plan is, he knows it. I told me before he accepted it, I'm taking all of operations and say here you go buddy, you got it and then I'm going to go start doing the things that the Chief of Police historically will be doing and I promise you. It is really work. I.

E

Think we frankly have the finest police force in the country and I know that it's one of the best, if not the best, in terms of really believing in protecting and serving. This is one the best place to live in the country and one of the reasons, because it's safe and because we have police who are citizens and policemen at the same time, police women. The same time.

Recently, tenants living in one of the city's last affordable housing complexes received word that they would need to move out to make room for a new townhouse development. I was.

F

Feeling a lot of loss, a lot of sadness, because I've lived here for 26 years, so there's a lot of memories, but we've created a community here, and so there was a sadness. You know when we knew that we would all be leaving and it would be no more.

Reporter Heather Graf shared their story on King 5tb, the.

Highland Village Apartments off northeast eighth Street were slated for redevelopment that would have forced out the low-income families who call it home k. Fives, Heather Graf is live at 10 with the elated reaction. To today's surprise, announcement.

H

Well, this all happened so quickly that signs announcing that proposed redevelopment are still here, but as of today, the redevelopment is no longer taking place and here's a look at what happened when neighbors here are the good news.

Today, to say that your neighborhood is saved nobody, the.

H

Official announcement came from representative john mcbride on behalf of the city of bellevue and a long list of stakeholders who stepped in to save one of the last affordable housing options in this area. Highland village will now be bought by the King County Housing Authority rent will stay the same, my heart and, most importantly, no one will have to find a new home. This.

B

Is Merry Christmas.

B

This is merry christmas, I love it yeah and.

H

You can see here. The plan was to turn this place into 87 brand new townhomes, but we're told even the developer changed his mind in response to community concerns, prompting city leaders to call this an unprecedented agreement in favor of affordable housing. We're live tonight in bellevue, Heather, Graf, 5, News, well,.

F

The thing that was most unique to me was to be able to see how government and the community could come together and work together and in a very short amount of time. We got stronger as a.

I

Whole and I think that's what's good about it, that we can hear everybody's voices.

Great news for those residents next, have you ever wanted to start composting your food or yard waste at home, but don't know where to start. We recently attended a workshop hosted by Seattle tilt at the Bellevue botanical garden and wanted to share a few of their helpful tips to get you started so composting.

I

Food waste, it is so the systems will be different and it can be as easy as literally digging a hole and putting it in the ground. So burying food scraps is pulley legitimate way to compost your food scraps. You just want to make sure that you're digging the hole deep enough and I think Toews.

I

There tells you how, in here, I think it's recommended to do like at least a foot down, or that like when you put, it may say a foot and a half in there, but when you dig your trench or your hole that the top of the food waste, so how are you hi?

I

You fill that hole should be at least a foot down, and that's just so that the the rats and the critters, the burrowers that are going to come looking for that stuff about a foot down is like they're, probably not gonna like that's enough, where they probably won't smell it you're not going to put pet waste in these piles.

I

So there's a difference between like animal manure and pet waste like dog, dog and cat poop, and really the difference is kind of the pathogen low that those poops are going to carry so chickens will have much less dogs and cats like all kinds of crazy stuff going on in their chicken manure I mean you're still going to compost it before you put into your garden, because there may be some a little bit of pathogen load.

I

The compost pile hopefully, will take care of that, but with cat and dog poop, weird stuff, especially I talked about cats and toxoplasmosis, and how the pregnant lady shouldn't be touching. It there's a reason for that. The.
