This latest (Itangl) to the library
is the biggest one yet and is being
done "to organize the building in
.1 more, logical way, said Andrew
Honamici. University librarian
for administrative services.
"There is also the need to inte
grate the three separate ports of
the building into one func tioning
library." he said.
This will make it easier for
patrons to find what they are
looking for than in the past Even
tually, people will be able to get
from one part of the library to
another without having to leave
the building.
"The old part of the library is
where all the changes will be
on erring this term." Honamici
said.
Basically, everything that was
being stored there will Im moved
to the new side of the library until
renovations are completed.
The Knight Library, once called
tie* Main library, is named after
the Knight family Phil Knight,
an eminent graduate of the Uni
versity and current president and
CI O of Nike Inc... has been a
major contributor to the library
during the years. The current

through gifts and grants that total
$27 4 million from individuals
such os Knight, several corpora
tions and the state.
The expansion phase of the
project was completed at the end
of 1992. Since then, the contrac
tor for the renovation, S.D. Dea
con Inc., and the library staff have
linen working on the renovation
phase of the project, which is
being carried out in two stages
In the first stage of the renovation
phase, which was completed dur
ing the break, many changes were
carried out that users of the
library should be aware of
One of the highlights of the fin
ished renovation is the new Dou
glass Room. Leslie Bennett, head
of music services, said six new
compact disi players, a DAT
player and 30 listening booths
iiave been added
These booths are connected to
the equipment via remote control
and thereby give students 'more
control over what they listen to
than before." Bennett said.
The Douglass Room now has
about 2.000 CDs. Students can
not browse through these, how
ever; they must know what CDs
they want ahead of time.
Patrons of the library must still
use the temporary main entrance
to the library on the east side of
the new addition near the ceme
tery.
The main entrance and the
main and ground floors were
originally scheduled to have been
completed by now. but shipping
delays by construction material
suppliers and site conditions dis
covered during the renovation
process have caused the three
month delay.

A (igar stu!> of a man with n penchant for Pol
ish sheep dogs. art anu Hawaiian trinkets and self
promotion. Wood said the time has come to give
the i iti/.ens of Monroe a place to blow off steam.
We've got car rai es. bowling, animal shows and
tractor pulls here Hut there s nowhere around here
when1 people can party.'' Wood said as he fiddled
with the pump that pushes 250 gallons a minute
over Ins 35-foot waterfall.
There are a number of stories about Wood that
still make the rounds hero, but none as outlandishly
amusing as the one about bis chicken problem.
Some years ago. back before this 52-year-old
raconteur become a prominent developer here.
Wood was hawking chickens on Lake Washing
ton from a 100-foot barge during a Seafoir weekend.
A big storm blew in and most everyone left, leav
ing Wood with -too unsold chickens.
A few days later, the barge stank so badly that no
one would come near Wood's chit ken hoop. So
he dts ided to dump the thawing flock into the lake
When confronted b> local authorities. Wood,
believe it or not, said the chii kens had drowned
and that lie vs as deeply sorry because he consid
ered them pets
Wood was charged w ith "disturbing Lake Wash
ington." and proset utors recommended a 60-day
jail term and a $20,000 fine.
Hut Wood got a saws lawyer who argued there
was no actual low on the hooks forbidding the
dumping oft hit kens in n Washington lake, and
Wood got a feather-lightlyje of $100
That was DIM and Won't! devisflrt^h l another
scheme.
Wood left town briefly lor Juneau. Alaska, where
he had grown up. and started peddling fish sauce.
Of course, he railed it "Pete s Kish Sauce.”
Wood sold enough to buy a plane ticket to Hawaii.
There he convinced the locals that roast pig tast
ed great if slathered in "Pete’s Hawaiian Sauce,"
which, of course, was identical to "Pete's Fish
Sauce.”
It was in Hawaii that the real estate bug bit Wood.
After completing a few projects, Wood moved back
to Kirkland to continue his development dalliances.
Five years ago, he headed to Monroe.
"I came here to get rich." Wood said as he cheer
fully rumbled in his Ford van over once-virgin land
now being transformed into housing tracts.
Wood said he came here with "zero money,” but
managed to persuade a bank to lend him the mon
ey to buy a gravel pit.
Wood parlayed his profit from selling gravel into
property acquisitions and now owns 500 acres in
and near Monroe.
"The legend is that Pete doesn’t use (ash. He just
barters and trades." Robinson said.
Wood smiled at Robinson's suggestion, and with
a wink and chuckle he cracked, "Gravel has been
very, very good to nte.”
A couple of years ago. Wood bought the parcel
ho is transforming into "Pete's Party Pit" for $4 mil
lion from a Snohomish County development com
pany.
Wood doesn’t plan to make it available to the gen
eral public, preferring instead to rent it out fur $5T)0
to $1,50(1 a day for private parties, weddings and
receptions beginning next spring.
So far, Wood has done little to promote it. and
few residents are even aware ol the so-called par
adise in their midst.
"1 haven't started bustling it," Wood said "I fig
ure people will hear about it word of mouth."
Wood also envisions a 78,000-square-foot hotel
adjacent to the party pit. and perhaps someday the
construction of five restaurants, office buildings
and trendy boutiques along the lake.
"I don't think it can miss."
