Carly Anderson of Kirkland, a 30-year-old graduate, died Thursday, May 10 at Harborview Hospital in Seattle after being injured in a two-car collision last Friday, May 4, on NE 131st Way on Finn Hill.

Details of the crash have not been released, but Anderson, the driver of one of the cars, suffered head, neck and spinal injuries and was taken by aid car to Harborview after the collision. The other driver was not seriously injured.

The crash, at about 2 p.m. last Friday, closed for several hours 131st Way, a winding road that climbs Finn Hill from north Juanita.

Anderson, a Finn Hill native, was an employee of the extended daycare program at near her childhood home. Friends say she loved punk rock music and her small dog Hunter.

“She was quiet, but once you got to know her, funny,” said Tara Johnston, a longtime friend and tattoo artist who recently gave Anderson a tattoo. "She was covered in tattoos and loved Volkswagens.”

Added one of her best friends, Tanya Walls: "She was very generous and would go out of her way to cheer you up. She never took life for granted and didn't hold back on anything. She was a true friend who never judged you, just accepted you."
