Third grade students head to their portable classroom at Louisa May Alcott Elementary in Redmond where their class is being held Wednesday, January 19, 2022. There are 12 portables and one third of the students at the school attend classes in the portables. All students will spend two of their years at the K – 5 school in the portables. The Lake Washington School District is running a capital levy measure to construct new classrooms throughout the district because of overcrowding that makes schools like Alcott reliant on these portables. This is for an overview story on the slew of levy and bond measures going before voters. 219364

Birch the seven-month-old moose calf responds to a target stick as he’s being trained by keeper Jordan Bednarz at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park in Eatonville. Bednarz says, “We’re earning his trust so we can check his neck and head, take blood draws, and eventually pick up his hooves and treat them if needed” without having to anesthetize the moose. Birch is then rewarded with a piece of carrot, banana or sweet potato. Birch weighs more than 400-pounds and will grow to about 1,200. There were too many orphan moose at the Alaska Zoo in Anchorage. They put out a call and Birch was FedExed here when Northwest Trek said they’d give him a home. (in the 435-acre Free-Roaming Area. There’s no scent in the training stick. Small treats are given after the moose responds to commands) Ref to more photos online LO Linesonly Friday Feb 4, 2022 299514
