For 13-year-old Rey Daoed, “just being me is tough.”
Daoed, of Sammamish, is au-tistic and speaks through his iPad. He dreams of going to college to become a novelist and aspires to change others’ perspective of him and people like him.
So being picked to attend the Nov. 29 Seattle Seahawks game, to meet former wide receiver Sidney Rice and to hear how loud Hawks fans can roar was “truly special,” he said. And to top it off the Seahawks won that game 39-30.
Daoed was one of 24 students with Athletes for Kids, a local nonprofit, to participate in the Legion of Youth powered by Boeing program.
The program, created
through a partnership between the Seahawks and Boeing in 2014, gives young people within the state a “unique opportuni-ty” to attend a game and meet a Seahawk, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Ray Conner said in a statement. Through local organizations that work the youth, Legion of Youth recognizes children who face challenges in their lives and students who are com-mitted to their education and active in their communities.
“Empowering local youth is part of our long-standing commitment to give back to the community where our employ-ees live and work,” Conner said.
Athletes for Kids, just one of the many organizations to par-ticipate in Legion of Youth, gives children with special needs a role
model and plants the seeds for a lifelong friendship, founder and president Ken Moscaret said. The nonprofit pairs athletes from nine high schools throughout the Eastside, including Sam-mamish, Issaquah and Bellevue.
This was the first time Ath-letes for Kids was chosen for the Legion of Youth program.
For the Nov. 29 Seahawks game, Daoed and other participants each received three additional tickets, which included access to pregame festivities, where he met Rice and got an autograph.
Daoed’s mentor, soccer player Ivory Randle from Skyline High School, was also chosen for the Legion of Youth program.
Daoed said Randle has helped him become more open to people, and that being part of Athletes for Kids has opened up his world.

A committee of Issaquah city council-ors are leaning toward continuing their contract with the managers of the city’s troubled senior center on Dec. 21. But the organization, Issaquah Valley Seniors, will have to make some significant changes to benefit its members’ voting rights, they said.
For the better part of 2015, the Issaquah Senior Center has been the subject of a public dispute between management and members who say they were banned for questioning the center’s finances. Coun-cilors began publicly questioning the city’s relationship with the center at the start of budget considerations in October and, earlier this month, Issaquah Valley Seniors

Pedestrian Park gets a faceliftBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Downtown Issaquah Association staff and city officials celebrated a facelift of Pedestrian Park at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday.
Work was recently completed on the small park located behind the Wold building, where it connects the Sunset Way corridor to the Issaquah Depot Museum. A small patch of grass in the park was paved with concrete and walking barriers were removed, while LED lights and seating were added.
The renovation was one of three projects discussed by a city task force in July as a means to “enhance Olde Town vitality” through community gathering spaces. Other locations were the historic Shell Sta-tion and the Issaquah Depot Museum.

The Sammamish Plateau Water and Sewer District’s board of commission-ers on Monday authorized an increase to water and sewer rates in 2016.
Water rates were raised 4.8 percent overall — the combined result of a 5.5 percent increase to customers' base water charge and a 4 percent increased cost for water used. The district estimated in early December that the increase would raise the median single family's monthly bill by $1.66-to-$1.98.
The increases follow a red-letter year for water use. Water revenue is expected to be more than $1 million above the nearly $12 million anticipated at the be-ginning of 2015, according to a presenta-tion given in early November. Moreover, staff surmised that more water may have been consumed in 2015 than any other year in the district's history.
The additional revenue for 2016 is set to fund a major water meter replacement project, as well as improvements to water facilities to improve their stability in earthquake activity. The district is eyeing $11.2 million in water capital projects in the coming year.
Meanwhile, sewer revenue is set to in-crease 3 percent, which could translate to single-family customers paying anywhere from $0.97 to $33.16 more per month.

The 42nd Street barricade blocks a direct route, cutting through the Timberline and Hidden Ridge neighborhoods, from Sahalee Way to State Route 202.
The gate has worked every time since, Sammamish staff sayBY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A barricade on 42nd Street in Sam-mamish failed to open for the Redmond Fire Department Nov. 25, when emergency responders attempted to transport a resi-dent from his nearby home to medical aid.
“After about a minute or so, we were backing up and turning around,” the pa-tient, Alex Pfaffe, said.
Pfaffe, who called for help around 7:30 a.m. due to extreme back pain, lives around the corner from the barricade.
The barricade blocks a direct route, cut-ting through the Timberline and Hidden Ridge neighborhoods, from Sahalee Way to State Route 202. The city installed the barricade, an Opticom gate, several years
ago. When working properly, it allows responders to open it remotely.
Thus far, it’s worked just fine — and as far as anyone can tell, the malfunction in late November seems to be a fluke, city interim Public Works Director John Cun-ningham said last week.
“I have never heard of anything remotely like this before,” Cunningham said. “It hap-pens very, very infrequently.”
Supposedly, if the gate doesn’t open, responders have access to a Knox-Box, a secured key box allowing emergency per-sonnel to open the gate manually.
But the Redmond Fire Department did not have the correct key to access the Knox-Box, which is why they had to reverse and take Sahalee Way to Route 202 — congested with morning commuters, per the usual — in order to make it to Redmond.
“If they had made that mistake on the way in, it would have taken even longer,” Pfaffe said.
The irony of the gate malfunctioning for Pfaffe, one of the residents who’d like to see it removed, is not lost on him.
Over the course of years, in building his home off Northeast 39th Lane, he’s expe-rienced firsthand the issues the barricade presents.
Visitors, contractors and delivery truck drivers alike have been stuck on one side of the thing or the other, he said. Sometimes, it’s enough of an inconvenience that a per-
son will give up and go home, he said.The gate, installed as a temporary
measure before the city incorporated, has been the subject of neighborhood tension for years. Many residents have asked the Sammamish City Council to take decisive action by either permanently retaining or removing it. The council, however, voted in mid-February to keep it in its place at least through 2016.
Though Pfaffe wasn’t thinking about the barricade issue as he was being trans-ported, afterward he realized the mishap mirrored the exact argument he and others had been making for its removal.
What’s puzzling, Cunningham said, is King County crews, who maintain the city’s traffic signals and who installed the Opti-com gate, went out last week to test it and it worked. The Redmond Fire Department had also gone back out to test the gate; it worked.
Eastside Fire and Rescue crews also tested the gate. It didn’t respond, but that turned out to be a wiring issue with the fire engine, Cunningham said. It’s since been repaired.
Cunningham thought a small power outage could have caused it, but Puget Sound Energy ruled that out, he said at the Dec. 8 City Council meeting.
Despite not knowing what caused the gate to malfunction, the city is taking ac-tion by installing another Knox-Box for the Redmond department and by installing a backup battery in case of a power outage.

BY AARON KUNKLERREPORTER NEWSPAPERS
More than 25,000 people have signed an online petition calling for the elimination of toll lanes on Interstate 405.
The lanes have proven to be unpopular with commut-ers since they were imple-mented in late September, but many drivers seem to have had it with what many regard to be an ineffective way for Washington State to reduce congestion along the notoriously tedious stretch of road.
Grievances laid out in the petition include forcing two-person carpool vehicles into the general lanes, which charges three-person vehicles $15 for a FlexPass
on top of a residual required balance and infrequent toll lane access points.
A Washington State De-partment of Transportation blog post from late October said they had seen a decrease in average commute times.
The post claimed there had been a 50 percent reduc-tion in travel times from a 40-minute commute in 2014.
Evening commuters, the post ceded, saw little reduc-tion in congestion, if any.
Along with the moveon.org petitioners concerns was the creation of new congestion points, an issue which the WSDOT blog post also addressed.
In the blog post, I-405 north of State Route 522 and Lynnwood increased congestion, creating longer
commutes for drivers traveling shorter distances between the two cities.
It also did not significantly reduce congestion between Bellevue and SR 522, with stop-and-go traffic in Kirk-land before traffic breaking until it meets the new north-ern congestion points.
The petition states that as much as 75 percent of toll revenue is being shipped to the out-of-state tolling company, with the remain-der staying in-state, and states only an estimated 10 percent of the money col-lected is reinvested in road maintenance and improve-ments.
The petition asks law-makers to eliminate toll lanes and restore carpool lanes, remove double lines on the lanes and to allow drivers to use carpool lanes for free during night hours.
Recently tolls for the I-405 lanes reached an all-time high at $10.
More than 25,000 sign petition against I-405 tolls
Check Out These End-of-Year Investment Tips:
Although 2015 is almost in the books, you can still make some year-end investment moves that may help you get off to a good start in 2016. Here are a few suggestions:
First, ask your employer if you still have time to add more to your 401(k) before the year ends.
Also, if you have investments that may no longer meet your needs and that have declined in value, consider selling them to claim the tax loss, which you can use to offset capital gains on other investments.
It’s also a good end-of-year idea to review your investment mix to make sure it’s still appropriate for your time horizon and goals.
Finally, If you don’t already have one, start an emergency fund before the year is out. Without such a fund, you might be forced to dip into your long-term investments to pay for unexpected costs, such as a major car repair.
Making these moves can help you close 2015 on a positive note – and ring in the new year with greater con� dence in your � nancial future.

We are thinking of moving this spring but are concerned about � nding a new home since inventory of available homes has been so low.
The good news is that typically inventory in the spring is at the highest level of the year. This means you will likely have more homes to choose from. In addition there are many new homes becoming available this spring. Something that buyers usually don’t realize is that experienced brokers often have more sources for homes besides the inventory on the MLS, including relationships with builders and opportunities for custom construction.
Other opportunities include “pocket listings”, these are sellers who are interested in selling but not quite ready to list but would entertain an offer should one be made. There are other options as well. Ask your broker.

Do Carbs Make You Fat?With the New Year fast approaching, many resolve to lose weight. Of the many strategies, eliminating carb intake is most likely number one on your to-do list. While it’s true that going low carb will help you shed some weight, it does not mean no-carb. Eating more of any kind of food will make you fat. Eat carbs based on your activity level. I think that sugar, omega-6 oil (aka vegetable oils), and trans-fat may have more of an effect on obesity and insulin-resistance compared to sweet potatoes, oatmeal and rice (or any quality carbs for that matter).
Bottom Line: If you are inactive, you only need to worry about providing carbs to fuel your brain and nervous system. In other words, if you don’t exercise your carbohydrate needs are much less compared to someone who does. Lastly, don’t fall into the trap assuming that all carbs are bad for you. Quality trumps quantity. Enjoy your carbs and have a happy holiday!
My friend loves tea and I want to buy her a gift
The � rst thing I ask tea-gift buyers is whether caffeine is OK with the recipient and secondly, if their friend has ever mentioned a tea they like. Between these two questions, I can usually come up with some ideas for the gift. Many tea stores offer sampler packs that are great for gift giving with small amounts of three or four different teas so be sure and ask about this. Another gift consideration is a good steeping tool like a large in-cup infuser. I do not recommend tea balls or tea-steeping clamp spoons because they do not let the tea expand for full � avor (and have many other negative qualities).

was removed from a list of nonprofit grant beneficia-ries while administrative staff planned for the pos-sibility of providing senior services themselves.
The council Services and Safety Committee met Tuesday night to consider two potential bills to rec-ommend to council — one in which the city would continue cautiously with Is-saquah Valley Seniors, and one that would see the city strike out on its own.
The bill authorizing a continued contract with Issaquah Valley Seniors would enact probationary status on the majority of the funding provided by the city. Under that plan, the city would renew its contract with the non-profit for only the first six months of the year and give the nonprofit less than 40 percent of a $99,000 grant to cover that time period. A continued contract and payment on the remainder of the grant would be con-tingent on the findings and response to a management audit over the first three months of the year.
Under the second bill, the city would throw its senior center contract overboard and staff would spend the first month of 2016 getting a city-run senior program up and running for a Feb. 1 launch.
“We had to ask ourselves, what’s the minimum that needs to get done?” City Administrator Bob Har-rison said.
According to presenta-tions by human services coordinator Martha Sas-sorossi and Community Center recreation supervi-sor Ross Hoover, seniors would minimally need a public gathering place and access to medical services, such as blood pressure and cholesterol examinations.
Finding a place for the seniors could be a point of difficulty under the plan. Issaquah Valley Seniors holds a lease on the Creek Way senior center building through 2022. Staff estimat-ed the cost to provide those services could range be-tween $120,000 to $210,000. Achieving a cost close to the lower estimate would depend on Issaquah Valley Seniors managers surrender-ing the organization’s lease, Bob Harrison said.
Councilmember Josh Schaer considered whether that might be possible, but councilor Tola Marts said he wasn’t so sure.
“If wishes were fishes, we’d all swim in riches,” Marts said.
Alternatively, the city could lease Gibson Hall on Newport Way from the Kiwanis Club of Issaquah, Sassorossi said. But the facility would be unavailable on Wednesdays, necessitat-ing an alternative site like the Community Center.
“I don’t like either of these,” Councilmember Eileen Barber said, noting her distaste for the expense and logistics of a start-up program, as well as the apparent breakdown of camaraderie at the existing senior center.
Ultimately, the commit-tee chose to recommend pursuing a continued contract with Issaquah Valley Seniors after adding further conditions. Those conditions included a lift on the no-trespass orders issued against its members, open availability of the senior center bylaws and an open election for the senior center board.
The conditions also included the striking of a provision in the contract waiving a portion of the lease to allow the center to sublet city space to religious organizations. The revision was made due to criticism by public commenters that
the nonprofit center could be profiting from a current arrangement with a local church.
Whether that contract is authorized on Dec. 21 will partially depend on whether Issaquah Valley Seniors leaders agree to the additional conditions, Marts said.
But Inez Petersen, a lawyer representing banned senior center members and their supporters in a recently filed defamation case against the center, said the committee didn’t go far enough. She contended that center managers abused their authority and violated her clients’ civil rights when
they trespassed them from city-owned property.
“It’s so upsetting to me tonight that you could step over that and ignore it,” Petersen said. “… A leopard does not change its spots.”
On the no-trespass or-ders issued against Regina Poirier and former senior board member David Wag-goner, senior center leaders cited the reason for the issuance as elder abuse and harassment, respectively.
“Nobody has explained to me what that harassment was,” Waggoner said at the committee meeting. How-ever, he noted that his ban occurred the month after he was elected to the senior board and began asking questions about finances.
He added that Poirier, who was banned for life, now has terminal cancer. He said he wanted to walk her into the center one last time, even if it meant vio-lating his no-trespass order.

Nothing like a few days away from the office to get one’s spirit rejuvenated and energy
recharged.For Gov. Jay Inslee, it came in
a trip to Paris, where he attended the United Nations conference on climate change.
He hung out with folks who share his view that climate change poses the greatest threat to the continued existence of humanity on this planet, folks obsessed with slowing the damage through every political and regulatory means possible.
The experience refu-eled Inslee’s confidence that reducing emissions of pollution-causing carbon and other greenhouse gases is a concern among leaders of cities, states, provinces and nations worldwide.
“I don’t want to be too car-ried away by this moment,”
he told reporters on a conference call Dec. 8. “This has been an inspirational group that I’ve been talking to the last few days in Paris. I’m glad I’m here.”
Inslee returned the following Wednesday to Olympia, a place where he’s thus far failed to move any signifi-cant legislation reducing carbon emissions due to op-position from Republicans and reluctance of his fellow Democrats.
Now he’s trying to do so by rewriting the state’s clean air rules, a strategy which isn’t subject to legislative ap-proval. But this effort may wind up helping clean the air above Quebec City or Los Angeles before it does Everett or Seattle.
At Inslee’s direction, the Department of Ecology is craft-

ing the rule to establish limits on the amount of carbon pollution emissions for 31 companies and investor-owned utilities representing Washington’s largest emitters of pollutants.
Over time, the cap for each emit-ter will be slowly reduced. Compa-nies will be required to meet their first emission reduction deadline in 2020.
At that time, companies or utilities that exceed their assigned cap can avoid penalties by investing in other pollution-reduction efforts in the state.
Or, they may be able to comply by going out of state and purchasing
carbon pollution credits in cap-and-trade markets operating in places like California or the province of Quebec.
In other words, a company could avoid punishment for polluting too much in Washington by helping reduce pollution somewhere else in the world.
“We have made no final deci-sions,” Inslee said. But the rule would reduce carbon pollution and reduce costs for Washington busi-nesses doing their best to meet the standards, he said.

where coal is burned, it ends up in our water in Puget Sound and in our kids’ lungs. Perhaps not so much the particulates, but the carbon dioxide is a worldwide phenomenon.
“So, when we (eliminate) a ton of coal being burned in Quebec it has an impact on improving our situa-tion in Washington,” he said.

Stop HOT debacleAt this point the only
way to ease the problem is to eliminate not only the tolls but the HOV lanes as well. Letting everyone have equal access to the all the I-405 and SR167 lanes was one of the Mobility 21 study recommendations. Normally, HOV lanes can be justified by mak-ing public transit more
attractive. Yet Sound Transit’s version of public transit from Everett and Lynnwood, ST532 and ST535, is limited to 15 buses during the 3-hour morning commute.
ST could probably fill ten times that number if they chose to provide additional P&R lots in the Everett/Lynnwood area and bus routes con-necting them to Bellevue and Overlake T/Cs. Once they begin to do so the HOV lanes can
be justified to facilitate bus routes. As bus traffic increases, it may be nec-essary to implement +3 HOV requirement on HOV lanes to minimize transit commute times. The fact that additional thousands will have the option of using public transit makes it far less likely and onerous. In any case tolls should be a thing of the past and everyone will benefit.

Issaquah police on Wednesday were searching for an 83-year-old man reported missing since Dec. 13.
James Buettgen is described as a 6-foot-4-inch and 240-pound white male with brown eyes. He last spoke to his family the morning of Dec. 11. His car, a gray 2013 ford C-Max with license plate ARY7625, was missing as well and he is believed to be driving it.
Buettgen's family told police he shows early signs of Alzheimer's disease. He is prescribed blood and heart pressure medica-tions that he did not appear to take with him before going missing.
Police report the family believed Buettgen could be traveling to Florida to visit family. However, those family members have not had contact with Buettgen and there has been no activity found on his credit card.
Anyone who sees Buettgen is asked to contact the Is-saquah Police Department at 425-837-3200.

Issaquah police search for missing 83-year-old man
BUETTGEN
BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A 29-year-old Sammamish man is awaiting charges for possession of heroin and methamphetamine after Sammamish police arrested him Nov. 18.
Kevin J. Gilmore reportedly told officers he was doing drugs on the 3100 block of 213th Place Southeast in Sammamish because his dog was go-ing to be put down and he was sad.
Sammamish officers allegedly found Gilmore with a silver .22 Ruger re-volver, 0.3 grams of heroin in a plastic bag, 0.2 grams of heroin rock in a plastic bag, 0.2 grams of methamphet-amine in a metal tin, a glass pipe with burnt residue and a 1-milliliter bottle
of naloxone, which can be prescribed to treat a narcotic overdose. Gilmore told police he did not have a prescrip-tion for the naloxone, a controlled substance.
Gilmore was booked into King County Jail Nov. 18. He was re-leased, with conditions, the next day, according to the King County Jail roster.
When police first responded to reported narcotics activity around 7:45 p.m., they spotted Gilmore near a sewer pump house about 75 yards off from the reported location, down a gravel road.
The officers, familiar with this loca-tion and recent drug activity reported by neighbors, saw Gilmore smoke something as they approached.
When one of the officers identified himself, Gilmore reportedly tossed the pipe, put his hands up and stood. The officer asked him to sit, but at that point Gilmore ran down a trail into the woods.
Both officers ran after the man. It wasn’t until 30 yards down the trail that Gilmore reportedly stumbled and fell, which allowed for one of the of-ficers to pin him to the ground.
After Gilmore was cuffed, the of-ficers searched the area and found the gun, various narcotics, syringes, cotton swabs and a laptop.
Police booked Gilmore for inves-tigation of Violation of the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. His case is still under review. The arraignment date has yet to be set.

One of the most prolific players to ever lace up football cleats at Eastside Catholic High School came through in the Class 3A state championship game on Dec. 4.
Eastside Catholic senior quarterback Harley Kirsch, who will play football at Cornell University in the fall of 2016, threw two interceptions in the first half and had a paltry 65 yards passing as the Crusaders trailed the Bellevue Wolver-ines 35-14. In the final two quarters of play and overtime, Kirsch went 14-for-19 for 184 yards and three passing touchdowns in the Crusaders’ dramatic comeback 48-42 overtime victory against Bellevue in the Class 3A state title game. It was the second year in a row the Cru-saders conquered the Wolverines with a state championship trophy hanging in the balance.
Crusaders’ head coach Jeremy Thiel-bahr wasn’t surprised Kirsch played proficiently in the pressure packed sce-nario of the final game of his high school career.
“Harley Kirsch is the utmost com-petitor that I have ever been around. His
ability to come back and do what he did in the second half is a tribute to him and his family. He is such a great kid. My hat’s off to him and the way he can compete. He bounced back in the second half and showed what he can do,” Thielbahr said.
Kirsch was deter-mined to right the ship after trailing by 21 points at halftime in the Dec. 4 game.
“I had a horren-dous first half. I had some bad throws but no one lost faith in me. I dug down deep and we turned it around as a team,” Kirsch said. “At halftime we basically said its do or die. We have two quarters and we didn’t know what was going to happen but we were going to fight and we were going to win this game.”
Crusaders’ running back Brandon Wel-lington agreed with Kirsch’s sentiment.
“This group is just tremendous. You never see anyone with their heads down. We are always going to push and we’re always going to fight because we’re a rowdy group and it shows,” Wellington said. “Going into overtime we knew we
had it. The energy changed, the atmo-sphere changed. The momentum was on our side and we knew we couldn’t be stopped.”
Kirsch hit Hunter Bryant on two touchdown tosses and connected with Matt Laris on a 4-yard touch-down strike, cutting Bellevue’s lead to 42-35 with 5:49 left in regulation. Brandon Wellington capped the comeback with a
1-yard touchdown in overtime lifting the Crusaders to a 48-42 win that won’t be forgotten on the Sammamish plateau for decades to come.
“I’m just happy that we got a state title. To win a state title and go out like that just makes me so happy,” Kirsch said. “I’m so lucky to be on this team with so much talent and so many good person-alities. I grew up with a lot of these guys since middle school. It’s weird to say that high school is over for me but I have had so much fun these past four years and that is regardless of the success we’ve had. I’m going to miss this so much.”

Detective Amy Jarboe of the Woodinville Police Department stands with the collection of Toys for Tots donations in the Sammamish Police Department Friday.
BY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Everything from hula hoops and board games to sporting goods and Star Wars toys were packed into a U-Haul truck Tuesday and sent out on a journey to make chil-dren’s Christmas mornings.
The U.S. Marines, which sponsors the Toys for Tots collection, picked up the
donations at the Sam-mamish Police Department to be delivered to a Pierce County warehouse. Be-tween now and the Christ-mas holiday, needy families in contact with the Marines will browse through the collection of toys and pick some out for their children.
“It’s going to make a lot of kids happy and that’s what it’s all about,” Detec-
tive Amy Jarboe of the Woodinville Police Depart-ment said. “We got quite a few toys this year. We’re always happy when citizens come forward with such generosity.”
Jarboe, formerly with the Sammamish Police Depart-ment, spearheaded the Toys for Tots collection in Sammamish, which began in 2005.
Off to ‘make a lot of kids happy’
Zaccuse Creek fares through heavy winter rains, washoutLouis Thompson Hill Road safe after November washout into creekBY MEGAN CAMPBELLISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
A creek identified as viable for future kokanee salmon populations seems to be coping with recent harsh winter weather, even after heavy rains and a November washout upstream.
The most recent storm last week carved out a clear path of Zaccuse Creek, just upstream from known kokanee advocate Wally Pereyra’s property off of Eastlake Sammamish Parkway.
Sammamish residents Mary Ellen Stone and Gary Mahn, who overlook Pereyra’s property midway up the creek, have kept a watchful eye on its health.
Back when the Plateau was part of unincorporated King County, a develop-ment above Stone’s and Mahn’s property improperly dumped runoff water down the stream. The runoff caused serious flooding and considerable damage to the creek and their property, the couple said.
The county restored the creek by mitigat-ing runoff from development, bringing in large tree trunks, rocks and native vegetation, to stop the water from eroding the creek.
Stone and Mahn say the heavy rains did not affect the restored portion of the creek on their property. But just past it, they’ve seen “major changes to the stream bed,” Mahn said.
Using a photo from a couple of years ago for comparison, the increased flows clearly defined a path creating a new channel about 3 feet deep and growing, Mahn estimated.
Tawni Dalziel, a senior stormwater program manager with the city, said the in-creased flows and defined channel are to be expected after a heavy rainstorm. Still, she said the development probably warranted a site visit from city staff.
“Streams don’t stay constant,” Dalziel said. “I would expect some erosion after a heavy rain storm. What we want to do is try to manage changes that we make on the landscape through the building of homes or expansion of things that can cause increased flows.”
Currently, the city’s keeping an eye on the creek near Louis Thompson Hill Road Southeast, where heavy rains caused the road to wash out into the creek during a Nov. 15 storm.
“It was kind of the result of all the heavy rains that came down those steep roads and it overwhelmed our drainage system,” Dalziel said.

THE DOCTOR IS IN
Daniel Nash, Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter
Dr. Harlan Gallinger, above left, was sworn in as a member of the Issaquah School District’s board of directors Dec. 9. He ran unopposed for the position of director of District 3, winning in November. Gallinger, a physician, was previously president of the Peninsula Board of Education in Gig Harbor. He lives in Sammamish. Incumbent board members Anne Moore and Suzanne Weaver were re-sworn into their positions.

Lake Washington School District’s enrollment grew by 1,114 students last year, from 26,716 students in 2014 to 27,830 on Oct. 1.
The enrollment increase this year moved the district from sixth largest district in the state to fourth largest. Lake Washington passed both Evergreen School District and Kent School District. It trails only Se-attle, Spokane and Tacoma School districts in size.
This year’s increase fol-lows five straight years of enrollment increases. The increases averaged about 625 students per year, or the size of a large elementary
school. This upward trend began in the 2009-10 school year after a decade of little change in enrollment.
“Redmond is growing quickly, but we are seeing growth elsewhere as well,” said district communications director Kathryn Reith.
She said while Red-mond is showing the most growth, the district is seeing higher numbers in parts of Kirkland. Sammamish's enrollment has remained steady, with some small growth, Reith said.
The district began seeing significant growth in 2009, though Reith said they had seen larger classroom sizes in the kindergarten and first-grade levels a few years
before then. That growth at lower grade levels has led to more growth in middle schools and high schools as students grow older, she said.
According to a district press release, part of the increase from 2014 — about 339 students — is due to a change in the accounting process for students who are enrolled in the Washington Network for Innovative Careers. The career skills pro-gram serves seven districts but Lake Washington, as the Network's host district, is re-quired to count skills students in its own enrollment.
Enrollment growth is fore-casted to continue to more than 30,000 students by the 2020-2021 school year.
Lake Washington now fourth largest school district in state
city said the road is safe to pass, she said. They are working on solutions to prevent such a failure in the future.
Zaccuse Creek begins near Louis Thompson Road Southeast and 210th Place Southeast and extends down to Lake Sam-
mamish. It does not currently support the rare kokanee population, but residents and the city are looking to change that in the near future.
“We hope that with some grant money available in the next couple of years, we will be able to make all of these improvements to Zaccuse Creek that will help kokanee salmon get into the creek, at least the lower portion,” she said. “The creek is definitely
on our radar, even before the rains oc-curred and the washout.”
Dalziel, who walked the upper portion of the creek after the November storm, said the sediment that washed down the road did not appear to move into Pereyra’s property.
Pereyra, who said Nov. 17 there did not appear to be a “residual siltation problem” from the slide, is still concerned about the longterm effects associated with not having a functioning culvert under Eastlake Sam-
mamish Parkway that would allow sedi-ment and other debris off of the Plateau.
While this washout may not have fogged the creek’s crisp waters, Pereyra’s concerned about the possibility that other rain storms and increased runoff from up the hill could ultimately cause a backup of sediment in the wetland on his property.
That, he said, is why the Parkway culvert needs to be replaced with a properly func-tioning box culvert.
For now, it’s a matter of time and money.

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
City of Issaquah staff are monitoring the east fork of Issaquah Creek after last week’s heavy rains.
The rains, which caused Issaquah Creek to enter flood warning Dec. 9, were the first instance of extreme weather to hit the Conflu-ence Park fork since staff completed a $1 million habit restoration in August. That project widened and redirected the creek to make it more hospitable to salmon runs. Crews also installed wooden debris on the shore and in the creek bed to protect against erosion and reconstruct the natural terrain lost to the local coal and logging industry.
Some of that work was eroded by water flowing high and fast through the creek during the flood warning. But the city won’t rush to redo its work, a city spokesperson said.
“The creek is quite high-energy and we’re waiting for flows to calm down so we can see how the stream is adjusting to its new floodplain,” said Autumn Monahan, the assistant to
the city administrator. “For the most part, we won’t try to fix the creek to make it look like pre-flood condi-tions, because the creek is trying to stabilize itself into a different pattern.”
The city is considering, but has not determined, whether staff will place more logs in the creek in summer, Monahan said.
The fork reconstruc-tion was the midway point of Confluence Park work under the city park bond
approved by voters in 2006. Mayor Fred Butler announced the city would begin work on a pedestrian bridge spanning the creek in 2016, when he presented his preliminary budget in October.
City staff solicited citizen input on artists’ renderings of the bridge in November and early December.

Rain and winds caused thousands of outages in Puget Sound Energy’s customer footprint Dec. 9 that were mostly repaired by that evening. However, sudden gusts at 2:30 a.m. caused further power failures from Puyallup to Bothell the next day.
