Kenmore Apathy vs. Kenmore Pride

Well, the election is over. Congratulations to Laurie Sperry, Alan Van Ness, and Bob Hensel on their elections.
I have to say though, I am disappointed in the apathy of Kenmore voters. According to King County Elections, Kenmore had a voter turnout of 53.4%.
Not only is this a lower turnout than the most recent comparable election in 2005 (56.7% turnout), but it’s even a lower raw number of voters! In 2005 6,831 voted, but in 2009 just 6,823 people voted, despite the fact that every single registered voter was mailed a ballot that they just had to fill out and drop in the mail (or drive down to Lake Forest Park). Pitiful!
But enough about that. Let’s abruptly change the subject.
I spotted this home somewhere up on the hill between 61st and 68th. It intrigued me.
Yes, that’s a City of Kenmore flag flying in front of that home. Where can you even buy a City of Kenmore flag?
Clearly this is someone that has a lot more allegiance to Kenmore than the average bear. I bet they voted.
