Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Taylor Morrison Acquires 3.42-Acre Rose Hill Village Site in Kirkland for $27MM (theregistryps.com) — A major 3.42-acre parcel at Rose Hill Village on NE 85th Street in Kirkland has sold to national homebuilder Taylor Morrison for $27 million, signaling more housing-focused redevelopment ahead. The deal, driven by Kirkland's earlier rezoning, could bring townhomes or mixed-use housing near downtown, raising questions for the city's planners about how future projects will meet corridor zoning rules and market conditions.
• A sushi buffet has scooped up 10 old Shari's across Oregon, Washington (chronline.com) — Kirkland diners now have a new all-you-can-eat option, as Sumo Sushi & Grill has taken over a former Shari's Cafe site in town. The growing chain is rapidly converting shuttered Shari's buildings across Washington and Oregon into sushi buffets, with additional locations planned in several Oregon cities.
• 9th Circuit: Church Loses Challenge to Washington's Abortion Coverage Mandate (blogspot.com) — A Kirkland church at Cedar Park Assembly of God just lost its federal appeal challenging Washington's requirement that employer health plans include abortion coverage, with the 9th Circuit upholding the state's Reproductive Parity Act. The majority found the law neutral and generally applicable, while a dissent argued it burdens the church's religious exercise, signaling the legal and policy landscape Kirkland faith communities now face.
