Citizens ask for more on skate parkBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Work is anticipated to begin later this year on a new city skate park in Tibbetts Valley Park, relocating and replacing a former skate park that had become bogged down by maintenance issues and criminal activity. � e former park, easily concealed by the trees and hills, is east of the Issaquah Community Center.

� e new park is all but con� rmed to be a slimmed down version of the design presented to the public in summer 2014, a situation that has some skate park advocates from the Issaquah Drug Free Community

Iss. Chamber chief resignsMatthew Bott takes job with Sound Transit, leaves behind legacy of public engagement

Coalition concerned. � e design dra� ed by Grindline Skate-

parks Inc. was slightly less than double that of the existing park on Rainier Boulevard South, replete with half-pipes, plenty of obstacle surfaces and seated spectator areas, all in plain view of Newport Way and the Tibbetts Valley parking lot.

But city sta� quickly determined that buildout on the project would be more expensive than its $350,000 allowance. In his 2015 budget plan, Mayor Fred Butler proposed allocating an additional $150,000 for the project, but the idea was later nixed by the City Council.

“I’m excited about what we approved [in 2013] but I think we need to stick to that amount,” Councilmember Tola Marts said at the Nov. 4 budget session where the mat-ter was decided.

Now city sta� are pursuing a modi� ed design with a smaller footprint and fewer amenities.

At the council’s Jan. 20 meeting, Drug Free Vice Chair Jerry Blackburn and Co-Secretary Geo Tamblyn thanked the lawmakers for their work on the project, but urged them to � nd a way to fully fund the project.

� ey emphasized the importance of keeping the spectator areas in the design to make sure the park would be “positively populated with folks from the local com-munity,” as Blackburn put it.

“Beginners are going to need a place to stay and watch safely,” Tamblyn said.

Tamblyn also serves on the citizens advisory board for the new skate park. He said he worried that without a full and deliberately planned investment, the new skate park would fall down the same “rabbit holes” that plagued the � rst.

� e Rainier Boulevard South skate park was built in 1997, one of the � rst on the Eastside. According to police, neighbors and skaters who contributed to a Feb. 2011 story in the Reporter [“Issaquah Skate Park struggles with crime, cracked concrete”], the park had always attracted non-skating teens who used the relatively remote and unsupervised locale to use drugs or alcohol. But the situation reached a head at the close of the ‘00s as the area became a hotspot for possession, minor assaults, the� and a few strong-arm robberies.

Ofc. Karen Weihe told reporter Celeste Gracey that she had made 17 arrests at the park between September 2010 and early 2011. � e Issaquah Community Network successfully petitioned the council to relo-cate the skate park in summer 2013.

� e Tibbetts Valley Park skate park is set to begin construction this summer pending approval by the council, city spokesperson Warren Kagarise said.

Park Place acquisition � ts with Talon’s stated “value-cyclic strategy”: To buy up already developed proper-ties with strong tenants in

a� uent areas when they believe the market is about to rise but “competition is weak,” keeping prices lower as reasoned in a writ-ten company investment overview.

A noted recent excep-tion was Talon’s partner-

ship with Prudential on the Kirkland Parkplace project in March 2014. � at deal marked Talon’s � rst ground-up development venture.

During his tenure, the Chamber reported membership grew more than 20 percent, the highest among United States chambers of commerce. Today it has 445 members, including companies and individuals.

Bott had earned his MBA shortly before taking the position, but his undergraduate background had been in the political and criminal sciences at Boise State University. He approached the executive position at the Chamber with a focus on involvement

with government a� airs — particularly pertaining issues of economic development — and community engagement.

“Matt has led the Chamber into a new era of engagement in public policy as it relates to economic development in Is-saquah,” Board Chairman Alan Finkelstein said. “� e Chamber intends to maintain its role in promoting Issaquah and Issaquah based businesses. � e development in the Highlands, Talus, Swedish Hospital and the Costco corporate expansion, among other projects, has created great opportunities for Issaquah.”

� e board will announce plans for the CEO search soon. Inquiries can be di-rected to Terri Campbell at 425-392-7024 or [email protected].

Editor's Note: An editing error resulted in part of this story not appearing in last week’s Reporter. �is is the complete story.

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

�e Issaquah City Council unanimously passed a simpli�ed transportation concur-rency plan at its regular meeting Jan. 20.

Transportation concurrency, as dictated by the state Growth Management Act, re-quires cities to manufacture a procedure for how they mitigate tra�c impacts from new development and update said procedure periodically.

�e new plan, written by Issaquah's development services department over more than a year, moves the city away from a system with which it examined intersec-tions and projects individually toward a

"system-wide" predictive model."It's much simpler for us, much simpler

for sta� and moves us to a more holistic approach," Development Services Director Charlie Bush said.

Additionally, the updated plan raises the tra�c impact fees levied on developers. Kristi Triple spoke on behalf of Rowley Properties to express the Issaquah develop-er's support for the plan and what it could do to address crowded roads in the city.

"It's not a secret that tra�c congestion is the biggest problem facing citizens and business alike," she said.

Kathy Orni, of Kirkland's YarrowBay Group, wanted to ensure the new plan would not change the terms of develop-ment projects in-progress.

As recently reported ["Issaquah looks at costs, options in transportation plan," Jan. 16, 2015], the existence of the Central

Issaquah Plan complicated transportation concurrency due to the anticipated growth and associated costs in the middle of the city.

�ough he said he would vote for the plan update, Councilmember Joshua Shaer warned that the city should avoid hastening into "a valley of walls and towers" without a plan to pay for future road projects.

Meanwhile, Councilmember Nina Mul-ligan recalled discussing transportation concurrency with development services from the moment she was appointed to the

position in February."�is is a satisfying moment and I'm so

glad to be voting in favor of this," she said.She added that she hoped by factoring

in the anticipated future road costs of the city — which the city did, though it wasn't a requirement of the Growth Manage-ment Act — the voters would develop an "appetite" for future transportation funding measures.

Issaquah City Council approves simplified transportation plan

Dogwood improvements comingBY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Northwest Dogwood Street will be the site of extensive functional and aesthetic improvements this summer, but Dogwood drivers can expect the multimillion dollar projects to close the road’s midway

connecting bridge from late spring to early fall.

�e city of Issaquah hosted an open house Tuesday night regarding upcoming roadwork to Northwest Dogwood Street, one of the primary arterials connecting Front Street and Newport Way.

�e work, which won’t

begin until May according to the city’s website, will consist of two major proj-ects: �e replacement of the street’s bridge and upgrades to the sidewalks and water main system. Construction on both will take place con-currently over the summer.

Lawmakers looking at election process

Distracted driving has become a scourge in our state. It’s bad enough that drivers routinely break the law by us-ing cellphones to make calls and send text messages.

What’s worse is that cellphones now also are used by drivers for so many other things: sur� ng the Web, writing emails, checking Twitter or Facebook. All are dangerous activities when you’re driving. And all of them are legal.

Fortunately, the Legislature has a chance to � x that. A bill expected to be introduced this week would ban

cellphone use while driving, except for making calls with hands-free devices. We expect there will be howls of indig-nation from the public. And some legislators are wary of limiting cellphone use.

But, really?How is it possible to equate safe driving with taking your

eyes o� the road to compose and send an email? And when did checking and sending tweets become so urgent?

We can see every day how holding a cellphone to an ear can make a driver clueless to such things as tra� c speed or stop lights. It’s the same — maybe worse — for other uses of cellphones or tablets.

Many states already ban using cellphones for many web activities. Washington state should, too.

Seahawks timeIt’s almost here.

� e Super Bowl. And Seattle’s chance — a good one, we think — to ce-

ment what is likely to be the true birth of a dynasty.No more having to deal with de� ate gate.No more eye-rolling over � nes for Marshawn Lynch not

talking to the media.No more having to fret about Patriots’ coach Bill Belich-

ick’s shenanigans.Just football now.Seahawks football.Go ‘Hawks.

– Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Lawmakers are looking at ways to make the election process cheaper for voters, easier to

see who is funding campaigns and harder to run initiatives with � nan-cial consequences.

Here are � ve bills that could mean big changes in coming election cycles.

Exposing dark money: Senate Bill 5153 takes aim at political com-mittees created and funded by nonpro� t associa-tions. Under exist-ing rules, they can

pretty much mask their identity and shield the source of their money.

� is bill creates a new class of political committee called incidental committees. � ese would � le reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission if they spend at least $25,000 in a campaign for a state-wide o� ce or statewide ballot mea-sure or $5,000 in a local contest like a county council race. Only those who contribute $2,000 or more to a

committee must be identi� ed.Enough with the advice: House

Bill 1323 would eliminate those statewide advisory votes. � ese nonbinding measures are the result of a provision in Initiative 960 which Mukilteo’s Tim Eyman sponsored and voters approved in 2007.

It costs taxpayers to give their advice. � e text of the bills and the votes of the lawmakers must appear in the voter pamphlets. In 2014, that information � lled six pages and cost the state $87,761. In 2013, the tab was $164,444 for 10 pages of content.

Election reduction: � ere would no longer be elections in February and April if House Bill 1379 became law. Instead, there would only be a primary in August and general elec-tion in November with provisions for special elections to deal with recalls and unexpected vacancies.

Elections in February and April are typically when school districts and � re districts put their funding measures on the ballot.

Picking up the tab: Some law-makers worry the cost of a stamp — 49 cents for � rst class — is a barrier to voting. � ey’ve drawn up Sen-

ate Bill 5344 to require that return envelopes for primary and general election ballots include prepaid postage. Counties would pay and get reimbursed by the state.

Hold that budget-busting ini-tiative: � ere’s a bipartisan uprising to keep expensive initiatives o� the ballot unless they include a means of paying for themselves.

Senate Joint Resolution 8201 must be approved by a two-thirds majority in each chamber and then it goes to the people for a simple majority vote.

Voters’ approval of Initiative 1351 in November is pushing lawmakers in this direction. � at measure requires smaller classes at every grade level. It will cost an estimated $4 billion to carry out and lawmakers don’t know where they will get that kind of money. � at’s why it’s likely that some-time this session lawmakers will act to amend or suspend the ballot measure.

�e Dogwood Street Bridge, built in 1950, was deemed by an early ‘00s Washington State Bridge Inventory System analysis to be too narrow for tra�c and in need of “replace-ment prior to failing,” as written in Issaquah’s current Transportation Improvement Program.

�e city completed survey and geotechnical work on the bridge in 2004 and 2006, respectively. �e city didn’t make the cut for federal funds in 2008, 2010 or 2011. Funding for the $2.4 million project was eventually granted in 2013.

�e bridge design was completed in 2014 and replacement is scheduled for May-October of this year. �e new design is wider and will accommodate pedestrian and bicycle tra�c.

�e concurrent project will replace a current water main on the street — allowing improved �re�ghting capacity — and move the area’s overhead utilities underground. Sidewalks, landscaping, curbs, gutters, street lights, drainage systems and on-street parking between the bridge and First Avenue Northwest will all receive a faceli�.

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Usually home to ambi-tious musical spectacles, Village � eatre's year-begin-ning midseason production is the company's opportu-nity to slow down and catch its breath on a pared-down production.

But in the case of Mark Brown's "Around the World in 80 Days," directed by David Ira Goldstein, there's ambition to be found in modesty. � e production takes a cast of � ve and tasks them with � lling a drama-tis personae of 39, a feat accomplished with healthy doses of humor, fourth wall breaks and good old-fash-ioned pretend time.

Brown's script is a farci-cal take on Jules Verne's classic adventure novel. In the hands of Goldstein and the cast, the show takes its production limitations and mines the necessary com-promises for laughs — be the situation pantomime, rapid-� re character changes or epic spectacles that always seem to be happening beyond the edge of the stage. � ey're constructing an elaborate inside joke and they're invit-ing the audience inside.

� e story hews closely to that of the novel. Phileas Fogg (Jared Michael Brown) is a strait-laced upper class Briton who conducts his life according to a rigid sched-ule. What goes unappreci-ated by the people around

him is that his eccentricities aren't an attempt to � nd solace in routine, but rather a personal tribute to the precision of a mathematical life. When the Daily Tele-graph publishes an article postulating that newly built lines of public transport could allow the globe to be circumnavigated in 80 days, Fogg stakes his fortune on a bet that he can make the journey himself.

Soon he spirits o� with his French valet, Passepar-tout (Chris Ensweiler), to prove the possibility of the trip. But things prove more di� cult than they seem, as a case of mistaken identity, un� nished train tracks, repeatedly missed boats and the attempted human sacri� ce of Indian beauty Aouda (Aneesh Sheth in her � rst Village production) conspire against them.

� is show is fun, plain

and simple. Simply keeping track of the rapid � re char-acter changes is an endless source of amusement. � e bulk of the character list is carried by Jason Collins and Eric Polani Jensen (Ens-weiler and Sheth have few character swaps before they settle into their main roles, while leading man Brown has none at all).

Each man is a delight in his own way. It comes down to the di� erence between � nesse and power. Collins is

a preternatural chameleon, adopting the mannerisms of each character he plays completely. Meanwhile Jensen is too distinctive to suspend disbelief — so the show doesn't bother. Con-sequently, Collins receives the most masterful stage changes — a prop moves here, audience attention is misdirected there and, boom, he's transformed —while Jensen's shi� s are made intentionally awkward and obvious for the sake of the laugh.

A� er getting a small taste of Sheth's comic timing and dramatic � exibility early in the show, you can't help but mourn a small loss when she permanently becomes the more sedate and serious character of Aouda — who primarily exists, in the original novel and the show, to prove Fogg's compassion.

No such loss is felt for Ensweiler, who inhabits the liveliest single character in the show as Passepartout. Ensweiler turns the French-

man into a living cartoon, walking right up to the line of bombast without crossing over into obnoxiousness. His best moments are the ones spent alone with Jensen's incompetent Detec-tive Fix. But his interplay with Brown is great as well — their scenes feel a bit like the Bobcat Goldthwait/Neil Patrick Harris buddy comedy that never was.

It's almost a shame for Brown, who's tasked with playing the stoic and un� ap-pable straight man in the middle of all the slapstick. He's the designated driver at his own birthday party. But he carries the show well and is ultimately rewarded for it: Near the end he delivers one great line that feels like the punchline to a 100-minute setup.

"Around the World in 80 Days" is a fantastic ride that comes highly recom-mended. And bring the kids — this is the rare show that has a little something for anyone.

Sports RoundupWhat’s happening in the world

of sports and recreationIssaquah wins 11 of 14 matches against Newport BY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

� e Issaquah Eagles reigned su-preme against the Newport Knights in battle between Class 4A KingCo wrestling squads.

Issaquah cruised to a 66-9 vic-tory against the Newport on Jan. 22 at Issaquah High School. � e Eagles won 11 of the 14 matches against the Knights. Issaquah longtime head coach Kirk Hyatt was ecstatic to see his team � nish the match with seven pins.

"In baseball it's home runs, in wres-tling it's pins," Hyatt said with a smile. "We don't just go for the win. We always go for the pin. � at is our goal every time. We train for that."

Issaquah wrestlers collecting wins with pins were Steven Solusod (113), Dakota Kutz (120), Chip Howell (132), Hunter Hurley (145), Colby Starren (160), Chance Gunther (182) and David Corbitt (195). William Tickman (106), Gunner Starren (126), Kaleb Solusod (138), and Bryce Ma-gee (170) won by forfeit. � e Eagles improved their overall record to 4-2 with the win. Hyatt believes his team is peaking at the right time.

"We had a couple of tough matches early on. We lost to Inglemoor and Mount Si. We have got Bothell and Skyline le� on our schedule. We're going to � nish in the top three or four of our league and we're good with that," Hyatt said. "We're looking to the postseason tournament time."

Hyatt, who has coached the Eagles wrestling squad for the past 20 years,

graduated from Issaquah in the mid-1970s. He sees a lot similarities from the Eagles of yesteryear and the Eagles of today.

"We have a wonderful tradition. � e kids on this team are wrestling just like we did back in the day. � ey � ght hard every single day," he said. "I'm going to hang around and coach as long as I can."

Newport head coach Michael Chenoweth was disappointed with his team's showing against Issaquah. � e Knights won just two matches. Nolan Richardson (285) won by pin and An-drew Coyle (152) won by decision.

One match was a double forfeit.� e Knights had a much better

showing the previous week in a 37-29 loss against Inglemoor on Jan. 15.

"� e di� erence between last week and this week is that we came into the (Inglemoor) match ready to compete and this week for whatever reason, tonight we just weren't there," Che-noweth said. "We want our guys to go out and compete every match. Every once in awhile you kind of just chalk one up and move on. Issaquah is a very tough team, but we were hoping to compete a little better tonight."

Chenoweth said there's no room for error once postseason action kicks o� in the next few weeks.

"Come tournament time if you have a distracted day, the season is over," he said.

Coalition concerned. � e design dra� ed by Grindline Skateparks Inc. was

nearly double the size of the existing park on Rainier Boulevard South, replete with half-pipes, plenty of ob-stacle surfaces and seated spectator areas, all in plain view of Newport Way and the Tibbetts Valley parking lot.

But city sta� quickly determined that buildout on the project would be more expensive than its $350,000 al-lowance. In his 2015 budget plan, Mayor Fred Butler pro-posed allocating an additional $150,000 for the project, but the idea was later nixed by the city council.

“I’m excited about what we approved [in 2013] but I think we need to stick to that amount,” Councilmember Tola Marts said at the Nov. 4 budget session where the matter was decided.

Now city sta� are pursuing a modi� ed design with a smaller footprint and fewer amenities.

At the council’s Jan. 20 meeting, Drug Free Vice Chair Jerry Blackburn and Co-Secretary Geo Tamblyn thanked the lawmakers for their work on the project, but urged them to � nd a way to fully fund the project.

� ey emphasized the importance of keeping the spec-tator areas in the design to make sure the park would be “positively populated with folks from the local commu-nity,” as Blackburn put it.

“Beginners are going to need a place to stay and watch safely,” Tamblyn said.

Tamblyn also serves on the citizens advisory board for the new skate park. He said he worried that without a full and deliberately planned investment, the new skate park would fall down the same “rabbit holes” that plagued the � rst.

� e Rainier Boulevard South skate park was built in 1997, one of the � rst on the Eastside. According to police and skaters who contributed to a Feb. 2011 story in the Reporter [“Issaquah Skate Park struggles with crime, cracked concrete”], the park had become a hotspot for crime. � e Issaquah Community Network successfully petitioned the council to relocate the skate park in sum-mer 2013.

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

New Value Village Store Opening in IssaquahNational secondhand store Value Village opens the doors to a new location on Thursday, February 19.

National secondhand store Value Village opens the doors to a new location in Issaquah on Thursday, February 19, bringing unexpected treasures and incredible deals to the community. This will be the 26th Value Village store in Washington.

Through its unique business model of purchasing, reselling and recycling donated items, Value Village provides sustainable funding to nonprofit organizations, offers communities a smart way to shop, and saves more than 650 million pounds of goods from landfills each year – making Value Village one of the largest recyclers of used goods in the world.

“We’re thrilled to bring our good deeds and great deals to local residents,” said Cheryl Brincefield, Value Village store manager. “We take great pride in working with our nonprofit partners and in looking a�er the environment, while at the same time providing our customers with the best selection and shopping experience of any secondhand store. Everyone likes to find a great deal, and people really love to support their local communities. We make it easy to do both.”

The new store opens in conjunction with a rising thri� shopping trend, which is one of the fastest growing retail segments. Lifestyle, economy and social trends have contributed to the growth, including the popularity of do-it-yourself projects, a renewed interest in vintage clothing, and importantly, environment and budget-conscious consumers. Value Village stores have been rapidly growing in popularity among all types of shoppers – ranging from families on a budget to six-figure professionals.

Carrying everything from clothing and accessories, to housewares, electronics and more, Value Village is no ordinary secondhand store and has more than 100,000 high quality items on its sales floor at any given time. Customers will find a fresh stream of value-priced goods including authentic vintage finds and name brand fashions, with 10,000 new items stocked to the floor daily.

Despite this large volume of merchandise, shoppers won’t spend hours shuffling through stacks of items. Value Village is clean, bright and well-organized with racks of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing sorted by category and size, and shelves of housewares, books and even electronics neatly labeled for an enjoyable shopping experience. Average prices include $3.99 - $7.99 for most men’s shirts; women’s dresses from $7.99 - $14.99; shoes and handbags for $7.99 on average; and books from $0.69.

And where does Value Village get this impressive inventory? Each store partners with local nonprofits, paying the organizations for used merchandise collected at Community Donation Centers located on-site at Value Village stores or donated directly to the nonprofits. The new Issaquah store’s Community Donation Center, which is now open, provides an easy, convenient way for residents to donate gently used clothing and household items.

In the Issaquah community, Value Village has teamed up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound and Issaquah Schools Foundation. The partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters supports the organization’s mission to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentorships.

From February 17-21, donations made at Value Village will also support Issaquah Schools Foundation’s Basic Student Needs Program. The Basic Student Needs Program assists students in need with clothing, dental care, breakfast food, school supplies, and other basic needs that prevent students from learning.

Located at 5530 East Lake Sammamish SE, grand opening festivities begin Thursday, February 19, starting at 8:45 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The new location will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
