Man faces federal drug charge in Silk Road case

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A Bellevue man alleged to have been support manager for the illicit goods website Silk Road 2.0 was arrested last week and charged by the U.S. Attorney’s O� ce with conspiracy to distribute heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine.

Not long a� er the FBI arrested

operator Ross Ulbricht in October 2013 and shut down the website — popular for purchasing illicit goods like drugs and � rearms — Silk Road 2.0 was created. Operating like its predecessor, SR2 uses a spe-cial worldwide network of comput-ers to conceal Internet Protocols and protect its users’ anonymity.

Homeland Security’s investiga-tion into the latest iteration of the

underground website cast a spot-light on Brian Farrell, 26, whose IP address was found to have been used to access the vendor portal for SR2, according to a search warrant a� davit, prompting Homeland Security to begin surveillance on the Bellevue man’s home from early August to late December.

Farrell was detained in Chicago by Customs and Border Protection o� cers while returning home from Europe on Dec. 20. He allegedly refused to provide investigators with pass codes to several computer devices or explain why he was trav-

eling with so many digital devices, according to the a� davit. � ose items were seized and forwarded to Homeland Security Investigations in Seattle.

HSI special agents contacted Far-rell and his roommate at their Bel-levue home two days later. Farrell allegedly admitted to visiting the site, but denied buying or selling drugs on Silk Road 2.0.

� e a� davit states Farrell’s roommate described the former Microso� contractor as bragging

Brian Farrell, 26, is alleged to have aided online operations distributing heroin, meth, and cocaine.

Hundreds of people gathered Monday morn-ing at Crossroads Bellevue Shopping Center in Bel-levue to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., in community.

Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci told the crowd that while there’s been great progressive in the � ght for equality, there’s still a long road to travel.

Last month the city adopted its new diversity initiative plan to respond to the area’s rapidly changing demographics.

Balducci said seeing the large crowd gather as one to celebrate the civil rights leader’s message and memory spoke volumes about the area’s willingness to work together.

“� e world our kids are growing up in is vastly di� erent than it was for us,” the mayor told the Reporter. “It’s so exciting to see the community come together and celebrate Dr. King’s life.”

Bellevue Council Mem-ber John Stokes echoed Bal-ducci’s excitement adding that the size of the crowd and diversity of its popula-tion “validates the work

we’ve been doing. � is is what it’s all about.”

� e morning began with an emotional speech from Shari Watts, chapter president of the Bellevue Alumnae chapter of the

� e Bellevue City Council approved a $1.4 mil-lion contract with Environmental Science Associates on Tuesday to prepare dra� and � nal environmental impact statements for Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project.

Councilmember Jennifer Robertson addressed concerns about starting the EIS process ahead of the completion of the city’s independent study to con� rm the future need for increased energy capacity as report-ed by PSE. City sta� reported the study is expected to be completed in February, ahead of the start of the EIS process. � e cost of the EIS will be recovered through a third-party contract with PSE, said Carol Helland, as-sistant director for development services.

� e city will work with four other Eastside cities from Renton to Redmond during the EIS process, a majority vote required for most major milestones.

Robertson said she wants part of the scope to include the economic impact of PSE’s transmission line align-ment on property values. � e 18-mile project will a� ect a number of residential areas in Bellevue, which has prompted residents to protest the erection of taller power poles in their neighborhoods rather than alterna-tive energy solutions.

While the Bellevue City Council is passing on today’s auction for a mid-century house on a 43,000-square-foot lot in Newport Hills, residents at Monday’s council meeting said council’s consider-ation renewed interest in creating public spaces in the neighborhood.

Designed by Northwest architect Paul Hayden Kirk, the 1,800-square-foot single-story house and property at the intersection of 119th Avenue Southeast and Southeast 48th Street will be sold at auction by the King County Sheriff ’s Office today. The property was foreclosed

on several years after the death of former owner Valerie Bronson.

Members of the Newport Hills Com-munity Club and Kirk House Restoration Project had appealed to the council to consider purchasing the property at auc-tion to be used for an open or public space two weeks ago.

City Manager Brad Miyake told the council Monday the property was determined by staff to be unsuitable as a neighborhood gathering space, adding the city looks forward to working with the neighborhood to find a future community project that would be a better fit.

Newport Hills Community Club mem-ber Heidi Dean thanked the mayor near the end of the meeting for recognizing the community’s need for public space, add-ing residents are inspired to look for other opportunities.

Farmers market fees could stay flat this year


The King County Board of Health may hold off on implementing increased fees for temporary events and farmers markets this year to allow for revisions to its inspection services, the deficit for doing so esti-mated at $500,000 this year.

Public Health - Seattle & King County had proposed last year increasing permit fees for farmers markets

and temporary events to capture the real cost health inspections, which are cov-ered solely by those fees.

A farmers market coordinator fee had been proposed to increase 131 percent this year, from $502 to $1,162. A temporary food - limited fee, which applies to vendors with less food handling demands like scooping ice cream, was proposed to increase 264 percent, from $55 to $200. A temporary food permit

for a more full-scale vendor was proposed to increase 42 percent, from $281 to $400.

The board of health’s fee subcommittee proposed Thursday, Jan. 15, that farmers market and tem-porary event fees remain flat this year to allow the inspection program to be redesigned to include less services to bring the cost down while maintaining adequate food safety. The board is expected to vote on this proposal in February, a staff report estimating a $500,000 loss this year by keeping rates flat.

Taking year to revise inspection program could cost $500K in operating revenue

Senior land use planner David Pyle told council each city can add elements to the environmental impact statement process, as the city is doing with its demand study.

The council approved a contract for up to $100,000 with Utility Systems Efficiencies to con-duct the independent technical analysis of PSE’s Energize Eastside project in December.

Senior Planner Nicholas Matz elaborated on USE’s experience and qualifications earlier in Tuesday’s meeting, adding consultants would hold a Skype discussion with members of the Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy during this week.

The EIS proecess is expected to take more than a year to complete.

Puget Sound Energy posted online Jan. 14 the final report of a community advisory group that last month recommended two route preferences for run-ning 18 miles of transmis-sion lines from Renton to Redmond — a minority report can be found in the appendix.

The CAG reduced route options for PSE’s consid-eration from 18 to four in October, forwarding the Oak and Willow routes to the energy company after a lengthy final session in December. Drafting the dissent report were mostly members of both the CAG and the Coalition of Eastside Neighborhoods for Sensible Energy, which has opposed the erection of power poles to run 18 miles of 230 kV transmission lines since Energize East-side was first announced.

Those favoring none of the route options wrote in their “minority report”

their objections are based on a lack of consideration of alternatives to transmis-sion lines, a lack of “real data” establishing the need for increased energy capac-ity and a perceived unfair process for selecting CAG members and facilitat-ing their discussions. The only participation PSE was interested in, the minority report states, was in select-ing a preferred route for transmission lines.

CENSE members — on and off the advisory group — stated as much during public comments at the CAG’s final meeting on Dec. 10.

CENSE and its members on the CAG, who drafted the minority report, argue PSE refused to consider alternatives to meeting fu-ture energy demands on the Eastside and has inflated that demand by misrepre-senting how much outside interests in places like Canada will benefit from Energize Eastside. CENSE believes an independent demand study commis-

sioned by the Bellevue City Council will provide a true, lower need than PSE has indicated.

“It’s unfortunate that the answer is not what they’re looking for,” said Gretchen Aliabadi, communica-tions manager for Energize Eastside, “but it’s still the answer.”

She said PSE is certain its analysis of future en-ergy demands and capacity needs is accurate, and its community advisory group process was thorough. The report’s publishing should show the community how much public involvement went into reaching these two recommendations — Willow and Oak.

“I think, from our standpoint and the rest of our customers who want the lights to stay on, is to let folks know we’ve done the work,” Aliabadi said.

Regardless of which side CAG members took, the decision to run transmis-sion lines from Renton to Redmond — and the route used to that end — will

ultimately be up to PSE. The energy company states in its CAG Final Report it will now make a deci-sion — taking the advisory group’s recommendations under consideration — be-fore seeking public input on issues like pole heights and other design details. The city is expected to approve the hiring of a consultant for drafting an environmental impact statement for Energize Eastside as early as this month.

Education will be one of the key issues this legislative ses-sion in Olympia. But it’s being treated as a political ploy by seven Republican legislators who have introduced

HB 1001. � e bill, being called “Fund Education First,” would create

a separate budget for education and require that it be funded from no new tax sources and approved before the rest of the state’s budgets. Fortunately, Eastside representatives had the good sense to stay away from this proposal.

Education already comes � rst in our state; our constitution says it is the “paramount” duty of the state. OK, we know the Legislature hasn’t been good about doing this recently. But the state Supreme Court has found it in contempt and lawmakers are under pressure to � x that.

� ere’s another problem with HB 1001 — that education be funded from existing tax sources. Given the high price tag to fully fund education, it will be a struggle — maybe an impossible one — to � nd enough money to pay for other needed state programs without new taxes. Voters might OK more taxes for kids in schools, but not for state workers sitting in o� ces.

� e bottom line? Many state problems likely would be gutted to balance the budget, thus reducing the cost of state government.

� at may be a goal of some Republicans, but not all govern-ment programs are bad. And schools aren’t the only institu-tion that provide needed services to state residents.

� at said, this isn’t a pitch for the Legislature to approve any tax for any program. In fact, responsible legislative leaders — in both parties — have more sense than to do this.

Instead, we think what most voters want is for legislators to look at the needs of the public and determine what ones the state can meet in a � scally prudent budget.

Will this take some hand-wringing and making tough choices? Of course. And this year will be tougher — because of the need to really deal with education.

But, with the public’s attention and help, we expect legisla-tors to do their job responsibly.

OF NOTE

President's college plan is de� nitely intriguing

President Obama's new America's College proposal is an intriguing idea that might be in the right direction for a more a� ordable education to Americans who want to further their learning. I think the intent behind the proposal is a welcoming thought to the expensive college route for students, but it makes me question how the proposal would play out.

If the proposal is successful, I won-der how the funding would be gath-ered to pay these students. How would current education programs work with this new proposal? How would this a� ect current college students who already are paying for their education?

Would a 2.5 GPA be su� cient to o� er students two years of community college? What about students who are � nishing up their education in univer-sities? Could the proposal bene� t these students as well? Would this be more e� ective than attempting to lower the cost of tuition for all schools?

Paying for higher education is costly and this could have a signi� cant impact on changing the future. I think

this proposal has a strong potential to turn out well for bringing more students to be motivated for their education, but clearly a lot of work and careful thinking should be done to accomplish the focus of improving the nation's education.

Energize Eastside an inferior compromise

Energize Eastside is a “blended project.” Memorandums of agreement between Puget Sound Energy, Seattle City Light and Bonneville Power Ad-ministration show Energize Eastside has at least three purposes: 1. BPA grid reliability to satisfy Canadian entitle-ment (U.S. generated power supplied to Canada) per the terms of the Co-lumbia River Treaty; 2. Load needs for SCL; and 3. Load growth for PSE.

As a blended Project, it is an inferior reliability compromise for BPA and an expensive compromise for PSE ratepayers.

BPA states its most reliable solution to satisfy Canadian entitlement is the “Monroe-Echo Lake #2” project. � e per capita cost of that project is lower when spread across tens of millions of ratepayers in BPA’s territory. Energize Eastside is unduly expensive to PSE’s 1.1 million ratepayers, and is dispro-

portionately expensive to low-income electricity customers that rely on PSE electricity – many of whom have had no voice to provide input on Energize Eastside.

Eastside businesses and residents bene� t from a non-blended project, via smaller scalable solutions that will maintain the lowest possible electric-ity rates for all PSE customers, while supporting smart, sustainable local growth.

Shame on the NFL� e NFL has decided not to

suspend Ndamukong Suh, the o� -penalized defensive lineman for the Detroit Lions. A� er all, it is the playo� s. But � rst the NFL should apologize to Detroit center, Dominic Raiola, for his two game suspension for a very similar o� ense.

Perhaps Suh is only being � ned because of his lack of success in maiming Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay quarterback. It wasn’t for lack of trying — twice.

Would it help if fans picketed NFL headquarters with signs saying, “Quarterback legs matter”? Roger Goodell should hang his head in shame.

LETTERS

BY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

Richard Van Anderson has always been fascinated by the urban legends of people waking up in bathtubs full of ice, their organs allegedly removed and sold on the black market. As a medical student in New York, the improb-ability of the situation troubled him; why would a surgeon keep the patient on ice when the common practice is to warm them up?

The question ruminated in the back of his brain as Van Anderson built an illustrious career as a cardiac surgeon, which led him to the Pacific Northwest, accepting a job as chief of cardiac surgery at Seattle Veterans Administration Hospital.

But the job wasn’t what he expected, Van Anderson said, so after several years he traded in his scalpel for a keyboard to bring the myth of these black market medical thieves to life.

In his first novel, “The Organ Takers,” the Bellevue resi-dent takes an updated medical approach to the debunked legend examining the world of transplant waiting list abuse, human stem cell research, tissue engineering and organ fabrication.

The book’s main character, David McBride, a former surgery resident, is exiled from the medical community after he and his mentor are found guilty of manipulating a liver transplant list for money.

Down and nearly out, McBride’s offered a second chance to complete his training, but it’s not what he expects and, under the threat of violence to him and his pregnant wife, he’s forced to illegally harvest organs.

Van Anderson said he initially intended the story to be a single book, but when he got to the end, he knew there was more to tell.

“I left McBride in such a dark place I had to give him a chance to better himself,” Van Anderson said, adding he’s already started working on the second and third books.

And while he’s had to self-publish this book, Van Anderson said the initial responses to the book have been positive and he’s hopeful the story will catch the attention of some of the industry’s larger publication groups.

So far, the greatest compliment came from his literary

hero, David Lehane, who told Van Anderson the story has “great promise.”

Lehane, the author of such critically acclaimed books as “Mystic River” and “Gone Baby Gone,” taught a masters of fine arts class in Boston. Van Anderson was a student in one of his classes.

Van Anderson said he’s tried to model Lehane’s approach to storytelling.

“He always talked about the four D’s; ‘depth of story, depth of character, depth of insight and depth of language.’ It was my goal to take those and put them into my own work,” he said of Lehane’s style and teaching.

But before he could spend countless hours writing and rewriting McBride’s opus, Van Anderson had to leave a “fairly lucrative” career.

“It was a tough job to give up, but the caseload started dwindling and I wasn’t operating as much as I’d like,” he said. “I spent a lot of my time fighting for OR beds and surgical rooms instead of actually operating. I miss the operating room, but I don’t miss the politics, economics or bureaucracy.”

Since the completion of the book, he said he has “zero regrets” about the decision and is excited about the new career opportunity.

Van Anderson will be hosting a book signing from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan 27 at the University Bookstore, 990 102nd Ave. N.E., Bellevue.

Valerio out as Outerwall CEOBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue-based kiosk operator Outerwall an-nounced Tuesday the resignation of CEO J. Scott Di Valerio, who will be replaced by company board member Nora M. Denzel in the interim.

Valerio had been CEO

since his appointment in April 2013, having served as chief financial officer for Outerwall since 2010.

He represented the company at the Con-sumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month.

Denzel has been a board director at Out-erwall since February

2013. She previously held various management positions at Intuit from 2008 to 2012.

Outerwall reports it will immediately start the search process for its next CEO.


Schnitzer West acquires Bel-Kirk Office Center


Schnitzer West closed on its acquisition of the Bel-Kirk Office Center on Jan. 16, with plans for redesigning its two build-ings in late spring.

“It’s been the greater part of 2014,” said Senior Investment Director Pam Hirsch of the acquisition. “We forged a relationship with the family that owned the land.”

The two-story buildings were con-structed by the Koll Company in 1988 and total 92,581 square feet of office space. Schnitzer West has entered into a 60-year land lease with representatives of the tes-tamentary trust of Selom F. Burns with an option for two 15-year extensions.

Hirsch said the office center will be updated, with a more pronounced entry-way, new signage, water feature and work spaces in the lobby and plaza.

“Our version of the word ‘boutique’ is just creating those smaller amenity spaces that rival a larger project,” she said. “Work areas you can actually use and function in.”

The Bel-Kirk Office Center is 95 percent leased, but only 56 percent occupied, Hirsch said, with Bank of America being the largest tenant not occupying space. Jones Lang LaSalle will be the listing team for the office center, she said, with expec-tations some tenants will not renew their leases in the future.

“I’m sure at some point there will be some rollover,” Hirsch said.

JPC Architects in Bellevue is handling renovation designs and Pennon Construc-tion in Seattle will complete the work, likely starting in late spring.

Coding Dojo relocates to new Bellevue headquarters


Coding Dojo CEO Richard Wang says the company’s new headquarters in down-town Bellevue will grow conservatively, in sync with the programming boot camp’s expansion into other national and interna-tional markets.

“The need for software engineers is there,” said Wang, a 29-year-old boot camp graduate who learned from and was recently hired on by Coding Dojo founder Michael Choi. “We just have to contribute to closing the engineering gap here.”

The company took over 5,200 square feet of former Limeade office space — the workforce engagement startup outgrowing its footprint — at the Surrey Building on Main Street earlier this month and plans to open up dojos in Los Angeles, Dallas and the Philippines this year.

“When Michael Choi asked me to help out,” Wang said, “it was a ‘yes’ automati-cally.”

Coding Dojo offers 12-week immersive web development boot camp programs the company claims can catch up novices or keep skilled programmers up on the coding languages — Dojo teaches three as core skills — they need to stand out in the highly competitive tech sector. The com-pany reports 92 percent of its “Black Belt” graduates — those passing all proficiency tests — find employment within 60 days of completing a program. Not all students are aspiring programmers, Wang said; some are simply looking to add a skill. Some are entrepreneurs who want to be able to satisfy some of their own information technology needs.

The company offers three full stack

coding education programs — ranging from $7,000 to $10,000, with scholarships available — that Wang said tend to fill up quickly once registration opens.

However, there’s also a competitive selection process that can take 1-2 weeks to complete before being accepted with only an average four out of every 10 applicants will be. Wang said he doesn’t see Coding Dojo as competing with higher education institutions, but complementing them. Getting students ready for an entry-level tech job in 12 weeks is its own challenge. Wang said they can spend 70-90 hours a week learning and using code, adding he recommends Coding Dojo’s onsite pro-grams over online-only.

“You learn a concept and then you build it right away,” he said.

Operating dojos in both the Puget Sound region and California’s Silicon Valley — two tech sector ecosys-tems constantly battling for supremacy — Wang said his company is choosing to base itself in Bellevue because of

its city council’s commitment to growing the city as a hub for startup companies. He noted the city’s recent partnership with Impact Hub for a startup incubator. extraSlice celebrated the grand opening of its 4,000-square-foot startup facility in Bel-levue in early December. The IT needs of startup companies can vary greatly, Wang said.

While Coding Dojo continues to seek out other tech markets in need of more skilled software engineers, Wang said he also wants to develop partnerships with Bellevue businesses to find problem-solving opportunities for dojo students, all of whom are required to complete a final project at the end of their 12-week courses.

“We’d love to be in sync with local busi-nesses to contribute, and nonprofits as well,” he said.

Video game company donates $26K to help fund girls STEM campBY JOSH STILTSBELLEVUE REPORTER

A local video game company has partnered with a national nonprofit to encourage girls to explore Science, Tech-nology, Engineering and Math (STEM) opportunities.

Derrick Morton, CEO of Seattle-based FlowPlay, said it’s imperative to find girls and women interested in STEM studies and provide them the opportunity to pursue their passions.

In December, the company announced a month-long fundraiser through its series of games, including the hugely popular “OurWorld” a virtual world with 600,000 monthly players.

In the short time, the company raised $26,000, which will help fund the fourth free Girlstart summer camp in Bellevue.

“If you were looking at the gaming in-dustry 15 years ago you’d see most players were men and boys, but since then, espe-cially casual games, have been increasingly played by women,” Morton said. “Today’s there’s approximately a 50/50 usership, but the people making those games are still mostly men. It only makes sense to have more women involved in the video game process.”

Morton said that’s why he choose to part-ner with Austin-based nonprofit Girlstart, which offers free week-long camps for girls entering the fourth or fifth grade.

“Our first product was a game designed for girls ages 11-14,” Morton said. “I saw this as a great fit. Help encourage STEM careers for the girls and the audience play-ing the game.”

Lauren Bussiere, manager of corporate foundation and relations for Girlstart, said Morton’s donation will help reach at least 30 girls from Boys and Girls Club of Bel-

levue this summer.“One of the reasons we have all-girl pro-

grams, is that at a young age, these girls are being told that they’re not good at (STEM courses) and they end up dropping out,” she said. “We need to provide an environ-ment where girls have access to female role models of STEM women, and a safe place where it’s OK to fail and try again. It’s how the scientific method works.”

A Zumba demonstration, live music and guest speakers marked the MLK event.

Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.Watts said if Dr. King were still alive and

saw so many different ethnicities gathered in one place, he would have smiled.

“He wanted everyone to be together no matter what race or ethnicity you are, just together, celebrating,” she said. “This is a day about giving back to the community, providing a positive message to our youth and being together. This isn’t just a day off, it’s a day of service.”

Along with a Zumba demonstration, live

music and guest speakers, dozens of com-munity members donated their time and expertise to their neighbors offering onsite mammograms, health screenings, voter registration and other resources.

Since its inception about 15 years ago, diversity coordinator Kevin Henry said he’s yet to see a bigger turnout for the event.

“This is a catalyst for people getting together,” Henry said. “It’s a great way to pull all parts of the community together to remember Dr. King’s message to treat people with respect and dignity.”

Losing someone close to you is one of the most difficult things for a human being to endure.

One of my good friends, Jim Johnson, passed away due to complications from ALS (Amyotrophic lateral

sclerosis) on Jan. 11. He was just 36 years old.

Jim was diagnosed with the deadly disease in early October.

I’ve known Jim since 2007. He mar-ried Jacinda Soete, who is the younger sister of my best friend, Nolan Soete in July of 2007. Over the past eight years I considered Jim to be the equivalent of a brother-in-law to me.

On Jan. 17, I attended his memorial service at Rill Chapel in Port Orchard.

The funeral home was packed to the brim as close to 150 people were in attendance to pay their respects. I wasn’t surprised to see so many people at Jim’s service. He exhibited an easy-going persona coupled with an ability to connect with people from a wide array of dif-ferent backgrounds.

State tourney aspirations Interlake wrestler Albert Chen is focused on advancing to the Mat ClassicBY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Interlake Saints 113-pound wrestler Albert Chen relies on his quickness on the wrestling mat.

Chen, who was an alternate in the 106-pound level to

the Mat Classic 3A state tournament in February of 2014, is looking to advance to the state tournament

at the Tacoma Dome next month for the first

time during his high school career. Chen said he doesn't like to lock up like many wrestlers in heavier weight divisions and instead looks to attack when an opportunity arises.

"The low single leg takedown is my favorite move. If my opponent leaves an opening, I just like to dive in for it," Chen said.

Pressure situations don't faze Chen

because of his gregarious personality."I think I try to enjoy myself more

than others do. When everyone is

screaming and yelling, I just tend to laugh things off," Chen said.

The fun-loving Chen keeps the mood at Saints practices sessions lighthearted.

"He's really laid back and is kind of a jokester," Interlake head coach David Unwin said. "He wrestles hard and he likes putting on a show on the mat."

Chen voiced his disappointment with falling short of the state tourna-ment last season. It has stuck with him for the past 11 months.

"Last year there was a kid that just barely beat me out. He beat me be-cause I just got tired. That pushed me to work harder this year," he said.

Recently, the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Chen a few questions about his life away from the wrestling world.

gathering” to watch the NFC Championship game in Jim’s honor. Jim was an avid Seahawks fan and his favorite player was Russell Wilson. Before the game began, Nolan emerged from his vehicle with a framed photo of Jim.

“Jim will be watching the game with us today,” Nolan said.

With Jim’s photo perched alongside the Soete’s gargan-tuan flat-screen TV, we saw the Seattle Seahawks deliver an improbable, come-from-behind 28-22 overtime victory against the Green Bay Packers. Jim wasn’t there with us in a physical sense, but he certainly was with us spiritually and emotionally for arguably the greatest comeback victory in Seahawks history. It is something I will never forget.

The following is a passage I wrote on Jim’s tribute wall on his online obituary:

“When I think of Jim, I immediately think of the Soete family gatherings. We always had such a great time! Countless Seahawks get togethers, BBQs, birthday parties, Christmas parties and poker nights. The memo-ries from those events will live on forever and never be forgotten. Jim was one of the most welcoming individu-als I have ever encountered and was the kind of person

everyone liked. He always put others before himself and was the epitome of a family man. Jim’s spirit will live on forever. No one is gone as long as someone remembers them. RIP my brother.”

Things looked bleak for the Ingle-moor Vikings through the first 10 matches of their dual wrestling match against the Newport Knights.

Newport built a 29-17 lead, winning six of the first 10 match-ups between the Class 4A KingCo wrestling teams.

However, Inglemoor dominated down the stretch, winning four consecutive matches in a come-from-behind 37-29 victory on Jan. 15 at Newport High School in Factoria.

Inglemoor 152-pounder Nathan Harshman sealed the win, pinning Newport's Andrew Coyle in the final match of the night setting off a raucous celebration on the Vikings' side of the mat. Inglemoor head coach Paul Schulfer wasn't worried despite his team falling behind by 12 points with just four matches remaining on the board.

"I knew we were in it because we were coming into the strength of our lineup right at the end. We were in a

pretty good spot," Schulfer said. Vikings' wrestlers registering vic-

tories in the final four matches of the night were David Wang (132), Andy Pham (138), Riley Seward (145) and

Harshman (152). Pham and Harsh-man won with pins and Seward and Wang won by decision. Inglemoor has

mont Boulevard and Southeast 63rd Street/Cougar Moun-tain Way, and the intersection of Lakemont Boulevard and Southeast 62nd Street.

two regular season dual matches left on their schedule and is fine tuning its skills in preparation for post-season tournaments.

“The biggest thing at this point is just trying to keep everyone healthy. We’re doing really well and that’s always exciting,” Schulfer said.

Newport head coach Michael Chenoweth was opti-mistic despite the loss to the Vikings.

“I knew they had some studs right there in the middle (132 through 152) and knew we had a good chance going into that stretch. Our team wrestled really well to-night and that’s what we’re looking for right now. We still have got a lot of wrestling to go,” Chenoweth said. “It’s just nice for us to come out and compete with a pretty tough Inglemoor team. It’s a good boost for us.”

Newport wrestlers earning victories against Inglemoor with pins were Nick Lounsbery (170), Logan Anderson (195) and Nolan Richardson (285). Humza Talat (160) and David Zobel (113) won by decision and Diego Dwyer (126) won by technical fall.

about being a hacker with ties to the “Anony-mous” collective. He also told authorities Farrell has an “astonishing” drug habit, and receives packages in the mail frequently.

Homeland Security collected more than 100 Xanax pills from the roommate the following day, which had been in a package he allegedly intercepted from Farrell once it was delivered to their home.

According to the complaint filed in U.S. District Court, a search warrant was served at Farrell’s home in early January, where agents seized computer equipment, various

prescription drugs, paraphernalia, $3,900 in silver bullion bars and $35,000 in cash.

The Bellevue man reportedly told agents he acted as support manager to Silk Road 2.0 operator Blake “Defcon” Benthall, who was arrested in San Francisco in November. Farrell went by “DoctorClu,” according to the com-plaint, and reported making $750 a week at the start and then $1,750 later on. The U.S. Attor-ney’s Office reports Silk Road 2.0 was generat-ing sales of at least $8 million each month, as of September, and had about 150,000 users.

“You’re not going to find much of a bigger fish than me,” Farrell reportedly told agents dur-ing questioning about other SR 2 staff.

women in the video game industry by a small, loud group of men, Morton and Bussiere agreed it’s more important than ever to have women involved in all STEM careers.

Morton said the small group fueling the hate behind “Gamergate” won’t prevent women and young girls from working in the video game industry if he has anything to do with it as he hopes to continue to create op-portunities for them.

“We know we’d make a better product with women working here,” he said. “There’s just not enough qualified candidates out there yet.”

Once there is, he said, they’ll have the chance to start a lucrative career. Beginning engineers at FlowPlay currently make $80,000 out of college, he added.

“If you have a product that you expect women to play, having women involved in its creation just makes sense,” Morton said. “Men can only imagine how a female may respond to a game, women don’t have to imagine it, they can just tell you.”

Bussiere agreed adding it doesn’t stop there.“In all STEM fields, such as video game

design, the more diversity, not just male and female, but the overall greater diversity of ideas, opens up doors that would never be opened if you have a homogenous group of individuals,” she said.

The camp is currently slated for July 27 through 31 at the Boys and Girls Club of Bel-levue.

The show is appropriate for the entire family and the public is invited to attend the taste of Irish culture on the Eastside. The performance is offered at no charge and there will be festival seating. A pay-as-you-may passing of the hat will help to support programming.
