Oneholiday tradition for manynorth Lake Washingtonresidents is a trip to ChaletCadeau.The store relocated fromdowntown Kirkland toBothell, next to the newSafeway at 24110 Bothell-Everett Highway, last springand has maintained thesame sense of holiday traditionand charm.“Christmas takes a lotof time to set up and takedown,” said owner WendyMarshall. “When it is all setup and pretty, I love it.”Marshall said that thetransition from her normalmerchandise to the holidaymerchandise is tiring andstressful but worth it. Thestore is currently full ofChristmas ornaments anddecorations but it wasn’talways that way for Marshalland her staff.

Nowyou’re lucky if it is in a box.”One trend that Marshallwants to follow is makingChalet Cadeau itemsavailable online. “I think itwill be within the next year,”said Marshall. “It is reallyexpensive to do. We starteddoing it just before we movedto Bothell.”The biggest expense is forshipping and then Marshalland her five employees haveto take a photo of everythingin the store.A lack of parking and escalatingrent forced Marshallto move from downtownKirkland.“I thought it would be abetter space with a lot moreparking,” said Marshall.“The building in Kirklandleaked and the rent wasabout $20,000 a month.

A toasty apartment onCapitol Hill in Seattle, complete with condensationon the windows, would be a stark contrast tothe biting cold outside. I would stick my head outthe window, leaving the aroma of a cooking turkeyand stuffing, to see the lights atop the Space Needle.My grandparents’ apartment was small but it wasthe only place my sister and I experienced Thanksgivinguntil we were adults.Thanksgiving was also filled with football on theTV and all my immediate relatives talking politicsand job stuff I generally did not understand. Withmy grandparents long passed and my young familybeginning new traditions, I know how important itis to spend time with them.Thanksgiving is a family-first holiday and mostall Americans celebrate it relatively the same way.It is not subject to a person’s religious preference. Itcan be celebrated by those with or without childrenand enjoyed just the same. Most people are giventhe day off of work - or at least that is how it usedto be.Recent trends have turned Black Friday intoBlack Thanksgiving. Most stores openedfor the holiday shopping season yesterdaywith “door-buster sales!” In an attemptto extend the holiday shopping seasonand make more money, big box storesare trying to replace turkey dinner withstampedes for a cheap TV. The car ride tograndmas is being replaced with peoplesearching for parking in mall lots.Some have gone so far as to say thatthis is the beginning of the end of Thanksgiving. Itake issue with that. Not everyone participated inBlack Thursday. Many people ignore the idea of thecrushing and chaotic masses pushing and shovingfor a $10 toaster oven.I have been known to get up early on BlackFriday, a rarity for me on a day off, to see whatwas available. But I will opt for sleep this year andboycott the sales today in protest of the encroachmenton Thanksgiving. I absolutely refuse to be apart of the corporate and consumer greed that hasbecome Black Thanksgiving - and I am not alone.Many consumers and retail companies have joinedthe call to stop the devolution of Thanksgiving.Sur La Table in Kirkland is one of thosestores.“Thanksgiving is a time to be withfamilies and loved ones and we won’t beTWO SENSEMatt Phelpssucked into the holiday shopping frenzythat diminishes the important role theholiday plays in celebrating and creatingfamily traditions,” said Sur La TablePresident and CEO Jack Schwefel in a statement lastweek. “I hope that our customers and our employeeswill do just that, enjoy the holiday. But if theywish to shop, surlatable.com is open all day andnight. Don’t misinterpret our message as not beingcustomer focused. We will provide valuable anduseful services to customers in our stores in everyway possible, just not on Thanksgiving! Our employeesdeserve the opportunity to also give thanks.”Most local stores were closed yesterday. Somenational companies that call Seattle home, such asCostco and REI, refused to take part in the BlackThanksgiving trend this year. Reward them.But Black Thanksgiving doesn’t just impact consumers.Many box stores banned employees fromrequesting vacation on Thanksgiving. They bannedemployees from spending one of the most familyfriendlyholidays with their families.The irony of Black Thanksgiving is that it willslowly erode the most prosperous season for anothersector of the retail economy - grocery stores.Retail analysts predict that yesterday was just thestart of the trend of making the holiday shoppingseason longer. Some predict that eventually allcompanies will be open on Thanksgiving and starttheir sales even earlier during the week. We mayeventually get to Black Halloween - poetic but justas crass and annoying.Matt Phelps is the Regional Assistant Editor of theBothell/Kenmore Reporter.● LETTERS...YOUR OPINION COUNTS: To submit an item or photo: e-mail editor@bothell-reporter.com; mail attn Letters, Bothell-Kenmore Reporter, 11630 Slater Ave. N.E., Suite 8-9, Kirkland, Washington, 98034; fax 425.822.0141.

At notime do I, or the majority of myneighbors, feel that we have had ameaningful voice in this process.I recently received a forwardedemail from the “committee” sayingthat “users other than the riders arefragmented and unlikely to cometogether under any circumstances.”That just makes me mad. You havepoked the bear and stirred up ahornet’s nest in the process.If the Evergreen Mountain BikeAlliance and King County hadtruly attempted to work with us,I am sure we could have reacheda compromise, but there has beenno attempt at diplomacy on theirpart. From everything that I haveseen and heard, the changes to thispark are a foregone conclusion andthe local residents’ opposition is aminor inconvenience to be sweptunder the rug and ignored. Whenthe desires of a small special interestgroup completely railroad thewishes of the overwhelming majorityof the local community, I worryfor our democracy.Since they have decided toexclude us from the process, we arenow circulating a petition to havebicycles banned from the park.

I’m hopingwe can do something likethat in Federal Way.”Kelly Maloney, also aFederal Way City Councilmember, said Kenmore officialshave a “very collaborativespirit. The way that theyreach out is really refreshingand it’s something that we’vewanted for a very long time.Right now, we think FederalWay is in a position to beable to do some of the stuffthat Kenmore is doing.”One of those thingsKenmore is doing includesmaximizing its unique assets,such as Bastyr University,a globally-respectedinstitution of natural healtharts and sciences. The city isworking to form a “healthsciences innovation zone” inKenmore, Karlinsey said.“We want to be knownas the epicenter of healthscience innovation,” hesaid, noting Assistant CityManger Nancy Ousley hasforged several partnershipswith Bastyr, serviceproviders and naturopathicdoctors. “She’s gotten thesepeople talking to each otherwhere they haven’t been ableto get out in the communityas much in the past.”Maloney said that FederalWay city officials are lookingto put together a sort ofinnovation zone much likeKenmore’s, only in a differentsector.Kenmore also “cultivateseconomic gardening” byhelping its businesses togrow.“We have felt very, verystrongly that we want tohelp our businesses in ourcity grow,” Baker said. “Imean, it’s easy to go out to aneighboring city and try tosteal a business away and offerthem all these attractivethings and before you knowit, you’ve got another citytrying to steal your businessaway from you.

He noted that hiscity’s utilities are handled bya separate board that has itsown budget and generatesfunds through utility rates.“I’m just trying to equate thedifference with [a populationof] 21,000 people andthat size budget, if Kenmoreis taking care of all the utilities,that does make sense,but I just can’t believe thatPhoto by Alante Photographythey can operate on just 29people - that’s astounding.”Zilka said the city of AvonLake, which has a populationof 23,000, employsnearly 60 police and firepersonnel, as well as 30 staffmembers.“Then looking at $49 millionfor two years but again,they’re including utilities.So it’s apples to oranges,”said Zilka. “But then theysaid they paid cash for thisvery nice building; we don’tpay cash for our buildingsbut we have a solid financialsituation.”Karlinsey said the city ofKenmore saves money bycontracting out its policeand fire services.“We like this contractingmodel because it keeps ouroverhead costs down,” saidKarlinsey, noting that a recentstudy showed contractingout for police servicessaved the city of Kenmore$1 million per year. “I hadan in-house police departmentin my last city andthat consumes so much ofyour time that is now freedup for me here in Kenmoreand I get to spend it onother things like economicdevelopment.”He said the trade-off isthat the city has to give up923829Buy LocalLORENZOCitrine Earrings$495 LS816LORENZOCitrine Ring$425 LS816Have anaturallybeautifulHoliday Season!Christmas trees, wreaths,greenery and more!Open 9 am - 8 pm7 days a week!425.486.6888some local control withservices, however, that“hasn’t been that much of aproblem for us.”During the event, thegroup ate lunch that wasprovided by Bastyr University.The officials thenwent to the university for acampus tour.17321 Bothell Way NE • Bothell, WA“Friend us on Facebook!”www.yakimafruitmarket.com924840909721
