After a spring and early summer of traffic snarls along Issaquah-Hobart Road, King County has finished construction.

For the past few months, crews have performed grinding on the road shoulders in preparation for repaving, which happened throughout June, according to the King County Department of Transportation website.

The county restricted the road to one lane and it caused a few backups, but county Department of Transportation Spokesman Jeff Switzer said the paving was

overdue.“It was a paving project that

was held over from last year,” he said. “We widened the shoulders and widened the roadways. It’s safer for it.”

He said the county had only a bit more cosmetic work on the project, which shouldn’t cause any more lane closures. Crews will return in October to put in some ground covering plants.

Switzer expressed sensitivity to the concerns commuters have faced in the previous months.

“It can be frustrating,” he said. “We take it really seriously and try to stay focused on our projects.”

King County honored 14 local, environmentally minded busi-nesses in an official presenta-tion at the Aug. 4 Issaquah City Council meeting.

King County created the EnviroStars program in 1995 to provide assistance and incen-tives to smaller businesses aimed at reducing hazardous waste and protecting public health.

City Department of Sustain-ability Director Micah Bonkows-ki said businesses in Issaquah had made a concerted effort to address minimizing harmful material.

“We’re here to recognize and thank business and busi-ness leaders that have made

an effort to reduce their impact on the environment and their employees through reducing hazardous waste,” Bonkowski said.

Laural Tomchick, program manger with EnviroStars, gave out the awards to the busi-nesses.

“Businesses are certified based on a range of environ-mental practices and policies that demonstrate a commit-ment to being environmentally sustainable, and for preventing pollution with a focus on reduc-ing hazardous material and waste,” Tomchick said.

Certification as an Envi-roStars business provides an “easy way to find and support environmentally responsible businesses in your community,” according to the program’s

website.The businesses receiving the

recognition were: Autoworks of Issaquah, Eastside Pediatric Dental Group, Hendrikus Group, Highlands Dentistry, Issaquah Dental Arts, Issaquah Endodon-tics, Midas Auto Service Ex-perts, Modern Family Dentistry of Issaquah, Natural Dental Health Associates, Santiago Dental Wellness, Dr. Michael Scoles DMD, Siemens Medical Solutions-ultrasound division, Swedish Medical Center and the Washington State Parks Mainte-nance Shop.

“Their efforts help to protect public and employee health, and preserve the natural re-sources that people really enjoy as part of the quality of life here in Issaquah,” Tomchick said.

A motorcyclist suffered severe injuries Aug. 6, after vaulting over the Interstate 90 Highlands Drive exit overpass into the east fork of Issaquah Creek below.

A Washington State Patrol trooper clocked two motorcycles over the speed limit on I-90 and initiated a traffic stop, according to Trooper Karim Boukabou.

“A trooper was work-ing general traffic and saw the two motorcycles accelerate at a big rate,” he said. “They were go-ing about 22 miles over the speed limit.”

He said a blue motor-cycle sped up to 130-140 miles per hour, while a yellow Ducati 749 did not flee as quickly.

“They were passing traffic on the shoulder, fleeing the trooper, and exited on the Highlands Drive exit,” Boukabou said. “The yellow one wasn’t as fast.”

He said the driver, Jeffery Kim-mel, 22, of Newcastle, hit the exit barrier near the top of the ramp and fell over the side — a 68-foot drop.

“I still haven’t been able to confirm whether he was in the water or not,” Boukabou said.

Eastside Fire & Rescue re-sponded and posted on its Twit-ter account that the rider had multiple injuries and was taken to Harborview Medical Center. A Harborview spokeswoman said Aug. 11 that Kimmel was in sat-isfactory condition.

Boukabou said it remained un-clear why the motorcycles sped away from the trooper. Boukabou said Kimmel had no motorcycle endorsement for his license, which may have contributed to his reaction.

Kimmel will at least be charged with attempting to elude a trooper, a felony, according to a Washington State Patrol press release.

“The incident’s still under investigation,” Boukabou said. “A lot of people don’t run from a traffic citation.”

Zoning questions held off an Issaquah City Council move toward annexing Lake Sam-mamish State Park.

Presented with an agenda bill to adopt a letter of intent Aug. 4, the council faced a step in taking over jurisdiction of the park from the state. The matter entered council consid-

eration in April after the state parks department presented the idea to city officials in the form of a petition for annexa-

tion.City Long Range Planner

Trish Heinonen said the idea came from last year’s securing of $5 million for improvements to the 512-acre state park.

Renowned doctors, expert nursing teams, and the latest

technology to back them up, are just some of the reasons

Swedish delivers “extraordinary care.” But there’s another

side to being extraordinary that’s just as important.

It’s a way of being treated that makes you feel like someone

truly cares. Because, at Swedish, someone does.

their budget discussions, might pull the funding for some of the improvements that have been going on.” Heinonen said. “State Parks would continue to own and operate the park, we would only be the permitting jurisdiction and the regulatory body. We wouldn’t actually take over anything.”

She added that the city’s annexation would stream-line the shared goal of city and State Parks officials to encourage more use in the park through develop-ment.

“The reason they ap-proached us was part-nership,” Heinonen said. “We’d been partnering with them on the advi-sory committee and they wanted to partner with us on the permitting.”

The letter of intent discussed in the Aug. 4 meeting would autho-rize Mayor Fred Butler to submit a notice to the Washington State Bound-ary Review Board for King County, while the council and State Parks works out an interlocal agreement on the terms.

“I’ve reviewed this re-ally closely and really the zoning and the critical ar-eas are my only concern,” Council President Paul Winterstein said.

As city and State Parks officials work to bring economic development opportunities to the park, Winterstein and other council members worried how the current zoning would affect their efforts, especially considering ad-jacent wetland areas.

Because of the zon-ing questions and other council concerns regard-ing what Issaquah resi-dents would get out of an annexation, the council ultimately decided to move the topic to the Sept. 8 work session.

Councilman Tola Marts endorsed the further discussion “in the spirit of measure twice and cut once” and to collect any additional public com-ment.

Should the council adopt the letter of intent in time, Heinonen said she hopes the staff can present the city’s case to the Bound-ary Review Board during its October meeting and have a recommendation by November.

If the board were to give a recommendation, the City Council would then need to hold a public hearing before making a final decision.

“I think it’ll be a better run park under our juris-diction,” Heinonen said. “We just want to get it done hopefully before the legislative session.”

Charles Robert ‘Bob’ Runyon obituary

When I was in ninth grade, Mr. Runyon decided that we were go-ing to enter the National Kodak Contest…and four of us won! This continued on, year after year, with his students winning

this contest again and again.Bob’s knowledge of photog-

raphy was world class, and his ability to teach it to children was nothing short of amazing. He did not just show us how to use a camera and print pictures. He taught us the science of it all, which gave us the ability to manipulate the process in any direction we wanted…something that only the seasoned profes-sional could do, and we were in junior high!

I was fortunate to return to Tillicum at 21 years old, assisting him with his adult night cours-es…where I got to know him on a different level, man to man.

To this day, whether I’m shooting with a Leica or an iPhone, I think of him and the gift he gave me.

emember how simple voting used to be? You would drive or walk to your neighborhood voting place, sign in, get your ballot, go to the private voting area, drop your ballot in the secure box and be on your way. That wasn’t simple enough or possibly cost effective enough for King County, so we now

have all mail-in voting.In the recent primary election “some” (undisclosed number)

return envelopes for ballots were found to be already sealed when voters opened the voting packets sent to them by King County Elections. That “some” was significant enough for King County Elections to send out a press release July 25 to the media in hopes of informing voters of the potential issue.

In response to questions from The Issaquah Press, King County Elections communications specialist Barbara Ramey said, “We sent out a press release, and got on Twitter and Facebook to let people know about it.” So whatever the “some” was, it was sig-nificant to go to such lengths to inform the voting public.

The July 25 press release speculates possible causes for the sealed envelopes, “Excessive heat or rain may have played a role in this, but we also learned that one of our vendors used a new sealant on the envelopes that likely contributed to the problem.” It would seem that where these voting packets and envelopes were stored may also have played a part in their being exposed to excessive rain or heat. Shouldn’t something a precious as the vehicle for one our most cherished rights as Americans be stored in a cool, dry, secure place protected from the elements?

Did these sealed return envelopes deter anyone from voting? It’s impossible to know. Voter turnout was projected to be 38 percent, according to the July 25 press release. As of Aug. 10, the King County Elections website reported 347,267 of the 1,175,330 ballots mailed to King County voters had been returned. That’s only 29.5 percent turnout. The vote will be certified Aug. 19.

When asked if the sealed envelopes may have had some-thing to do with the lower-than-projected voter turnout, Ramey said, “Turnout is more a factor of what’s on the ballot and whether there are things people are really interested in. The envelope thing was inconvenient, but most people figured it out on their own.”

It certainly was an inconvenience and it shouldn’t happen again.

Did ballot envelope issue deter voters?

Traffic

People need to learn the difference between yield and merge

One of the reasons southbound traffic backs up on Front Street during evening rush hour is that drivers on Newport Way ignore the yield sign. (Please note, it reads: yield, not merge).

During the red light cycle on Newport, the cars on Front Street have the right of way. If Newport Way was posted no turn on red, it would allow traffic on each street a fair portion of the allotted time, and a smoother flow of traf-fic. This “no turn” sign could be limited to the hours of 3-7 p.m., which appears to be the most congested time period.

Election signs

Please respect people’s right to their political opinions

This is an open letter: Please show forbearance, tolerance and respect for other’s views and efforts to communicate those in upcoming elections.

We have begun to see destruc-tive actions against political signs on public right away and in private locations. People need to understand it is illegal to touch someone else’s political signage, a misdemeanor, in fact, that will get one thrown in jail.

In the 2004 election, two indi-viduals were caught destroying my signs and spent time in jail. I could hardly keep one conserva-tive sign intact for more than a few days. Then, I put up a notice next to my sign, “It is illegal to mess with another person’s politi-cal sign. This right to free speech is what keeps us civilized and

nonviolent. It is the basis for our society. Two people have already gone to jail for messing with this sign. Don’t be a third. Instead, if you have a competing idea, put your own sign up.”

That seemed to put an end to the trouble. I did not press charg-es, and let the miscreants go after a night in jail, but maybe in the interest of setting an example I should have pressed charges.

Perhaps you fine citizens can get the word out to all that for a democratic republic to work peacefully, we all need to be able to speak our minds without being harassed and squelched. Let your ideas compete in the arena of public opinion. Let the cards land where they land and work as you can on the next election.

It is your involvement that makes the American Experi-ment a success. Let us not fall the way of petty dictators who must control the dialog to protect indefensible views. If you have a viewpoint let’s see it — right next to mine!

Tourism

Consultants aren’t needed to tell us what we already know

Imagine that — a tourism consultant being hired only to recommend that the city needs to do more to promote tourism.

I would imagine a monorail expert would say we need a monorail, as would a log flume professional say we need a log flume, or a funicular railroad en-gineer say we need one of those as well.

And signs to say where things are? We have a sign ordinance that needs to be adjusted then.

But, as usual, it all comes down to the basic question: Who/what is Issaquah for — the people who

live here or the money that we have not collected yet? Think about that while out-of-towners troll for parking so they can ride that log flume around town.

Violence

Keep guns away from domestic violence abusers

I’m writing to express my support for Congress and our U.S. senators to take action and protect women from gun violence and domestic violence.

Women are at an unacceptable risk of gun violence in abusive situations. According to FBI sta-tistics, more than half of people murdered by their intimate part-ners were killed with a gun.

Current law doesn’t go far enough to protect women. As the law stands, women who are in an abusive dating relationship, as well as victims of stalking, can’t have law enforcement prevent their abusers from having guns.

The Senate just had its first hearing on the links between gun violence and domestic violence, but much more needs to be done. Congress needs to take action immediately to change the law to protect women from gun violence.

Unfortunately, our local con-gressman, Dave Reichert, is not supportive of gun control legisla-tion, so I urge all those who care about this issue to write to him, to let him know that there are many members of his constituen-cy who care about women facing danger in domestic violence situ-ations, and to ask him to show support for legislation to prevent all domestic violence abusers from having access to guns.

oPInIon A4 • Wednesday, August 13, 2014

Like any responsible procras-tinator I pride myself at waiting to the very last minute to com-plete any task. So, on election eve, realizing this was the last chance to exercise my right to vote in the primary, I finally opened the envelope from King County Elections that had been sitting on my kitchen table for at least a month.

With a sense of duty I read through the names on my ballot and filled in the corresponding oval as neatly as a person with zero small motor skills possi-bly could. I progressed rather quickly, coming finally to the list of people running for the judge position. Like most voters I know nothing about any of these people so I did what I always do…voted for the person whose name seemed the most normal.

Feeling a sense of accom-plishment I folded my ballot, placed it in the inner secu-rity jacket and reached for the envelope that would carry my votes to where ever it is they count them. But something is wrong…this envelope is already sealed. For a second I was quite confused. Had I already stuffed my ballot into the envelope, licked it and sealed it and then momentarily blacked out? No. My ballot was still sitting on the table in its security jacket.

This envelope had been mailed to me this way. Why? Did they not want me to vote? It has been unusually hot this summer. Were these envelopes stored in a hot room where the glue melted? Or maybe they were purchased from the lowest bidder, who used questionable and inferior glue in an effort to keep costs down.

I came to the conclu-sion that the only way to make my vote count was to unseal the envelope. Here again the lack of small motor skills created a problem. My envelope was now open, but it wasn’t pretty. I inserted my ballot into the envelope and started to lick the flap to try to reseal it. But I stopped short as the thought of the potentially sketchy products that may have gone in this glue entered my mind. Then, I wondered, if I lick this would I go the way of George Costanza’s fiancé in that episode of “Seinfeld?” So I decided to just tape it closed.

Now my envelope was sealed, but it definitely looked like it could have been tampered with. Is it possible they won’t count my vote after all this? Or worse yet, would some nefarious politi-cal operative see my envelope and consider it the perfect opportunity to replace my vote with the ballot of a dead person? Ironically, I’ve often wondered how the government can tax dead people when they can’t vote. Isn’t that taxation without representation? But I digress…

Putting all my fears and con-cerns aside, I affixed a forever stamp to my mangled envelope and dropped it in a mailbox and hoped for the best. And I hope King County will get a better batch of envelopes before the general election in November.

What’s the one thing people who have had joint-replacement surgery say? “I wish I’d done it sooner.” That’s because it didn’t take long to get back to doing things they’d given up due to the pain.

If you’ve put part of your life on hold, then come to a free surgeon-led seminar at Swedish — where our surgeons do literally thousands of joint-replacement surgeries every year. Swedish surgeons were also the first in this area to perform MAKOplasty®, robotic-assisted surgery for partial knee joint replacement.

Register now. Our seminars take just two hours, and the rest of your active life is waiting.

Fire Dash comes to state park

The nation’s only firefighting-themed 5K obstacle course is coming to Lake Sammamish State Park at 8 a.m. Aug. 16.

The Fire Dash, designed by firefighters, puts par-ticipants through a slew of obstacles that test stamina and agility, and make am-ple use of fire and smoke. The course is likened to a mini fire academy for new recruits.

Day of event registra-tion is $98, and includes a T-shirt, bib and a beer for those of legal drinking age. Participants must be 14 or older to join. Runners can register individually, but teams are recommended to get through some of the obstacles.

A portion of all proceeds

go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation and to a local fire depart-ment’s benevolent fund. Learn more at www.the-firedash.com.

Parking at Lake Sam-mamish State Park, 2000 N.W. Sammamish Road, is $10 for a day pass or $30 annually for a Discover Pass.

Outdoor burning banned through Sept. 30

As hot and dry weather threatens to bring fire danger to a new high, the Washington State Depart-ment of Natural Resources announced Aug. 11 that it is expanding the cur-rent statewide burn ban to cover all outdoor burning on DNR-protected lands.

Those who negligently

allow fire to spread or who knowingly place forest-lands in danger of destruc-tion or damage are subject to possible civil liabilities and criminal penalties under state law.

The statewide burn ban will run through Sept. 30. It applies to all lands under DNR fire protection, which does not include federally owned lands.

Hot and dry weather since early summer have caused hazardous condi-tions, which in turn have caused fires to spread rapidly and challenged firefighting efforts.

More than $91 million has been spent so far bat-tling wildfires in 2014, and more than 350,000 acres have burned across the state.

There are many weeks to go in this year’s fire

season, which usually runs into October.

All outdoor burning on DNR-protected lands is prohibited under the ban, including recreational fires in campgrounds.

Fireworks and incendiary devices, such as explod-ing targets, sky lanterns or tracer ammunition, are illegal on all DNR-protected lands. Charcoal briquettes are also not allowed.

In addition, DNR urges extreme caution around any activity that may start a fire.

Logging operations, land clearing, road and utility right-of-way maintenance, use of spark-emitting equipment and other activi-ties that create a high risk of fire ignition should be drastically curtailed.

Baby Corner sends more than 13,000 items to wildfire victims

Eastside Baby Corner’s one-day emergency drive July 25 netted 11,000 wipes and nearly 3,000 diapers for children impacted by the fires in Eastern Washington.

The nonprofit orga-nization received a call from relief organizers in Wenatchee asking for assistance with diapers, wipes and pull-ups.

However, EBC did not have enough pull-ups or wipes to contribute, and asked for help collecting the items. Relief organiz-ers, needing the supplies immediately, came to pick up the donations, leaving donors just one day to get their contributions to EBC.

The 13,000 diapers, wipes and pull-ups (the combination of donated and EBC-supplied diapers) should be enough to keep 100 children in diapers for a month.

Enter costume contest, hear Wally & The Beaves perform at Aug. 19 Concert on the Green

Wally & The Beaves bring back the golden age of rock ‘n’ roll to the Con-certs on the Green stage Aug. 19 at the Issaquah Community Center.

Picnicking kicks off at 6 p.m.; bring a blanket. Music is from 7-8:30 p.m. As many as 500 revelers attend, so come early to stake out your spot.

Wally & The Beaves, six of the most respected art-ists and musicians in the Pacific Northwest, formed in spring 2011. The band’s unique show has been gaining a loyal following since.

Each member of the band brings a bit of humor by dressing like well-known iconic characters from the era, from Buddy Holly to Susie Q.

In honor of the decade known for poodle skirts and leather jackets, Rowley Properties Inc. is sponsoring a 1950’s fashion contest during the concert.

A panel of judges will help award prizes to the top three best-dressed participants. The contest winners will be announced at 6:45 p.m. The concert starts at 7 p.m.

The Issaquah History Museums will also host a display of photos and short stories from the cities past.

The concerts, at 301 Rainier Blvd. S., are pre-sented by Issaquah’s Parks & Recreation Department and the Issaquah Arts Commission, in collabora-tion with the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah. Kiwanis sells refreshments during the

show, including hotdogs and hamburgers.

Be sure to catch the sea-son finale of the Concerts on the Green series Aug. 26, with the BrickHouse Show Band, bringing the hits from decades of music.

The concerts are free, but donations are ac-cepted. The money is put toward the next season of concerts.

Petty Fever performs Tom Petty’s rock at Concerts in the Park

The 14th annual out-

door concert series at Pine Lake Park continues Aug. 14 with Tom Petty tribute band Petty Fever.

The concerts in the park are from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursdays through Aug. 28.

There is plenty of lawn space, so you can bring your own picnic basket. The Rotary Club of Sam-mamish will sell barbecue dinners and the Kiwanis Club of Sammamish will sell ice cream.

No alcohol is allowed in the park.

Petty Fever was named the 2013 Tribute Band of

the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards. The band’s salute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is known for its high-energy perfor-mances.

Pine Lake Park, 2401 228th Ave. S.E., has limited parking. Parking is also available at Discovery Elementary School and at the Pine Lake Park & Ride. A free shuttle is available to and from the park & ride. No dogs are allowed on the shuttle.

The next concert in the park features the Sam-mamish Symphony on Aug. 21.

Train Depot brings railroad history to life Aug. 16-17

The history of railroads in America will literally come to life Aug. 16-17 in a unique, free event at the Issaquah Depot Museum.

The Suitcases Project, directed by artist Joan Laage, presents alternat-ing scenes throughout the

depot and on the passen-ger trolley that include text, movement and local references to the history of Issaquah.

Erica Maniez, director of Issaquah History Muse-ums, likened the project to a form of performance art or a living, breathing museum.

A cast will continuously perform scenes in and around the depot from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

Spectators are free to walk around and observe the cast of railroad work-ers, passengers, conduc-tors and more.

“It’s really about captur-ing the mood of an era when railroads ruled,” Maniez said.

Cast members dressed in costume will perform semi-scripted scenes. The performance is arranged so spectators can partici-pate, too, if they choose.

The production is history-based, but not history-specific, so the script uses real things, such as the Orphan Train, a controversial movement that transported orphaned children from the East Coast to Midwest foster homes beginning in the 1850s, but the people the characters represent may not have been real.

“It’s a fascinating way to interpret local history, and not what most people are used to from a museum,” Lissa Kramer, Issaquah History Museums program coordinator, wrote in an email.

The project is a part of 4Culture’s Historic Site Specific program, and was developed in collabora-tion with Issaquah History Museums.

The Depot Museum is at 78 First Ave. N.E.

Ann Lowry (center), sees herself in a photograph from the early 1970s, during the 50th anniversary open house and reunion celebration Aug. 8 at Issaquah Nursing & Rehabilitation on Front Street South. Lowry worked there from 1967 to 1987, first as a nurse and eventually as director of nurses and administration, at what was then Issaquah Villa, founded by Dr. John Whittaker. Margaret Robinson (right) worked from 1970 to 1990 with Lowry, starting as receptionist, and then bookkeeper and office manager. Kristen Nash, a neighbor and friend of Lowry’s in Issaquah, also enjoys the photos, stories and refreshments. The party for current and former staff members and patients attracted eight retired employees from the earliest days of the nursing home. Eastside Fire & Rescue also attended for a fill-the-boot fundraiser to benefit the Issaquah Valley Senior Center.

Andrea Williams, of the Renton Highlands, and her niece Gabriela Stuart, 7, of Klahanie, enjoy blue raspberry and cher-ry grape snocones as they walk among the water sprinklers, the splash blast booth and craft projects on the lawn.

Youngsters scream in glee at the top of their lungs while running through a rainbow under the downpour of rain provided by Eastlake Fire & Rescue Ladder 73, during the Issaquah Parks & Recreation Department’s annual Beat the Heat Splash Day held Aug. 6 at the community center.

David George BriggsDavid George Briggs, of

Redmond, died peacefully at home on Saturday, July 26, 2014.

He was 71 years of age and was born July 3, 1943, in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, the son of George and Georgia Briggs. He was raised in New Braintree, Massachu-setts, and attended school there. His undergraduate work was accomplished at the University of Mas-sachusetts followed by a master’s at Yale and a

doctorate at the University of Washington.

He was a highly re-spected professor at the University of Washington in the School of Forest Resources. Dave retired in 2011 as a professor of Operations Research and Forest Products, director of the Stand Management Cooperative, director of the Precision Forestry Coop-erative and director of the UW site of the National Sci-ence Foundation’s Center for Advanced Forestry Systems.

Dave loved the outdoors and was an avid moun-tain climb-er. He also trav-eled to the far corners of the globe.

He had an affinity for animals. His small acreage sustained at different times llamas, a horse, chickens, geese, dogs and cats. He collected seashells and

butterflies.He will be sorely missed

by his mother Georgia Briggs, his wife Anne Briggs, his son Jeremy Briggs, his stepdaughter Laura Shepard and other family and friends.

A celebration of Dave’s life will be held at The Uni-versity of Washington Club on Sunday, Aug. 17, from 4-7 p.m., at 4020 E. Steven Way, Seattle (uofwashing-tonclub.org).

The family suggests remembrances be donated to the American Alpine Club or Washington Trails Association.

Task force will raise awareness of how to give up newborns

A new county task force has been formed to develop a campaign to ensure people know they can safely relinquish new-born babies.

Representatives from public health, criminal justice agencies and hu-man service programs will work on educating people so they know there is a safe way to give up babies.

State law allows parents to hand over a newborn within 72 hours of birth to qualified personnel at a hospital, fire station or

federally designated rural health clinic, without fear of prosecution for aban-donment.

The task force grew out of the unsolved Baby Kimball case in North Bend, where a deceased newborn girl was found in February. She was wrapped in a towel within a half-mile of a hospital.

Following the incident, the King County Council unanimously approved a motion, co-sponsored by Councilwoman Kathy Lambert, the representa-

tive for the Issaquah area, setting up a task force to increase awareness of op-tions to legally and safely give up a newborn.

The task force will determine how the county can engage in a collab-orative public education campaign, and work with the state to better track incidences, and find out whether there are oppor-tunities to expand drop-off locations.

The group will pres-ent a report to the county executive and the council

by the end of October.

State unveils new online map of public lands

The state Recreation and Conservation Office recently unveiled a new online, interactive map of natural resource and recreation lands owned by government agencies.

The statewide map, at http://publiclands.smart-mine.com, allows people to click on a location and learn which agency owns the land, the number of

acres, the main use of the land and the cost of acqui-sition if acquired within the past 10 years.

Information is provided about land owned by cities, counties, the federal gov-ernment and three state agencies — the state Parks and Recreation Commis-sion, the Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the Department of Natural Resources. The public can search government-owned parcels by owner and principal land use. In addi-tion, details about acquisi-

tion grants from RCO are linked to the interactive map.

RCO was tasked by the state Legislature in 2013 to provide an inventory of lands in Washington owned by federal, state and local governments. In the past, these public land inventories were printed documents.

The Legislature also tasked RCO with making recommendations on how to maintain the inventory. Read the report at http://1.usa.gov/1rjPKk5.
