“Something is occurring in the lake that affects the whole cohort.” Jim Bower

King County fish ecologist, explaining the lack of kokanee in local creeks this year

Mayor Fred Butler greets visitors to the Issaquah Valley Senior Center last month.

Butler will not seek re-election to mayor’s office By Lizz Giordano lgiordano@isspress.com Mayor Fred Butler, who voters sent to Issaquah’s highest elected office in 2013, announced at a Chamber of Commerce event Jan. 11 he will not run for re-election this fall. Butler, 76, told the crowd he will be looking for other opportunities to serve the community and the region. “He has served the city very well for a very long time,” said Stacy Goodman, council president. Goodman said she was not planning on running for mayor this year and has not made any decision about running for City Council, either. Her term ends this year. Butler suffered a heart attack in April 2016 and was absent from City Hall for just over a month. His term is set to expire at the end of this year. See MAYOR, Page 5

Dan Lantz, an environmental scientist for King County, searches for returning kokanee in Ebright Creek during the winter spawning run. “Last year, this area was just stocked full of redds (egg nests), but not this year,” Lantz said.

WHERE ARE THE KOKANEE? Only 60 to 70 fish counted in local creeks compared to nearly 6,000 a year ago

By Lizz Giordano lgiordano@isspress.com Before emerging from the creek on a cold, sunny December morning, Dan Lantz pulled out a notebook to record a very familiar number this kokanee spawning season — zero. Lantz, an environmental scientist for King County, and other fish ecologists were expecting a low return of kokanee this year. Spawning runs are typically cyclical, with boom and bust years. But nobody expected the numbers to be this bad. Lantz was out on what is known as a fish escapement

survey — an annual count of kokanee that have returned to spawn. Starting at Lake Sammamish, he followed Ebright Creek about a quarter-mile along a newly enhanced creek bed. As he walked, Lantz poked and prodded the vegetation along the creek, searching for any sign of the fish. Using polarizing glasses, he scanned the creek. Before spawning, a female digs a nest, also known as a redd, in the gravel on the bottom of the creek bed, where she deposits her eggs in several depressions. See KOKANEE, Page 3

During the winter spawning run, surveyors walk Lewis, Ebright and Laughing Jacobs creeks three times a week counting kokanee. On Dec. 14, all Lantz encountered was a partially eaten kokanee head and one nest that may have contained eggs.

Mullet formally asks to speed up timeline for work on dangerous I-90 interchange By Lizz Giordano lgiordano@isspress.com Calling the Interstate 90 interchange at State Route 18 “one of the most dangerous interchanges in our region,” Sen. Mark Mullet (D-Issaquah) wants to use extra gas tax revenue to speed up a fix to the corridor by five years. Mullet spearheaded a letter dated Jan. 16 sent to Sen. Curtis King (R-Yakima) and Rep. Judy Clibborn (D-Mercer Island), both chairs of the transportation committees for their respective chambers, urging them to reconsider the timeline for the project. The letter said, “The dangerous nature and gridlock at the intersection have forced drivers and freight to take alternate routes on roads that were not meant to function as main thoroughfares. The situation is untenable now. The state can’t wait to start the design process until 2023 and to have the new intersection completed in 2028.” The interchange project is part of the $16 billion Connecting Washington transportation package passed in 2015. According to the state Department of Transportation’s website, the funding to begin the design phase of the project will become available in July 2023. See MULLET, Page 2 FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA

A DAY OF SERVICE, DUTHIE STYLE

Mullet from page

The Issaquah Press

During a Jan. 4 meeting with Issaquah’s elected officials and city staff members, Clibborn said the state Legislature needs to develop criteria for prioritizing road projects. “There isn’t a single area, with a project, that isn’t asking for their project to be moved up,” Clibborn said. “I’m trying to make sure I get our project bumped up and someone else doesn’t beat us to it,” Mullet told The Press. “In addition to the surrounding communities, this intersection is of extreme importance to nearly all Eastern Washington freight that travels to the Port of Tacoma, and to Kent and Auburn. Washington State Patrol also maintains a weigh station at this intersection that forces trucks to become entangled in this gridlock,” the letter said. The letter is signed by all 5th district legislators: Mullet, Rep. Jay Rodne (R-Snoqualmie) and newly elected Rep. Paul Graves (R-Fall City). King County Councilmembers Kathy Lambert and Reagan Dunn, and Mayor Fred Butler were also among the signees of the letter.

court to deem the clearing and grading permit applications complete as of Nov. 30 so a redesign of the trail to comply with new regulations adopted by Sammamish is not necessary, according to court documents. New city surface water design standards went into effect Jan. 1. The completion of the East Lake Sammamish Trail, an 11-mile path that runs along the eastern shore of the lake, has been fraught with legal challenges. The county is currently upgrading the interim 12-foot-wide soft-surface trail to a 12-foot-wide paved path with 2-foot-wide gravel shoulders and a 1-foot-wide clear zones on each side for a total width of 18 feet. Tim Larson, communications manager for the city, declined a request for comment. A hearing was scheduled for Jan. 13 with a decision expected Jan. 20. Construction on the south segment, between Southeast 43rd Way and Southeast 33rd Street, began in December. The last segment, located between Southeast 33rd Street and Inglewood Hill Road, remains in the design phase. In November, the county began installing stakes

along the trail, laying out the county’s right-of-way for the last section. In December, the county released preliminary design plans. Lakeside residents continue to question the county’s ownership of a 100-foot right-of-way formerly owned by the Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Railway and the need to widen the trail that travels through their properties. At times, the 100-foot right-of-way intersects with gardens, garages and houses. Ted Davis is one of those property owners whose house is located partially in the 100-foot right-of-way. “Now we have this line running through our entry way, through our main hallway, through our side door to our carport,” Davis said. “If this goes through, the value of my house has just plummeted, if King County actually takes and utilizes this piece of property.” Another lakeside resident, Gene Morel, told councilmembers the design plan for the trail blocks access to his garage. He said the city granted a permit for him to build his house in 1999. “I’m now going to be asked to park on a parking pad on my neighbors’ lot to

the south and actually walk about 150 feet to my house,” Morel said. “You guys gave me the permit, someone is going to fall if I am prevented from parking in my garage. There’s a lot of liability here, so I suggest you pay attention to this stuff.” According to Doug Williams, media relations coordinator for the county Department of Natural Resources and Parks, no one will be forced to tear down a portion of their home. Kevin Brown, the director of parks and recreation for King County, said the county will work with homeowners who have infrastructure within the right-of-way as long as it doesn’t interfere with the trail. He suggests these landowners apply for a special use permit with the county. The county points to a 2016 U.S. District Court decision — involving Sammamish City Councilmember Tom Hornish as a plaintiff — that concluded the county owns the 100-footwide easement formerly held by the railroad. The decision is currently being appealed. “The court ruling reaffirms we do have the right to build a trail in this corridor,” Brown said.

On Dec. 13, the city’s lawyer sent a letter to Resmark to begin a discussion regarding cleanup and fixing the damaged infrastructure. The Resmark Companies has not yet replied to the city’s letter, according to Keith Niven, Issaquah’s economic and development services director. The letter requested a response from Resmark by Jan. 10. The letter from the city states: “We are aware that you and your insurer are investigating this event and considering solutions. However, the City is concerned that time is slipping away and this letter is intended

to place you on notice that the City has determined that full remedial measures will be constructed during the summer of 2017.” “It is our sincere desire to avoid this situation becoming a lawsuit. This letter should be received as nothing more than the City’s notification regarding the urgency with which remediation is needed and the City’s decision to ensure that the remediation occurs next summer,” the letter continues. Niven said the city doesn’t want to use public money to pay for damage caused by a developer. The city estimates the

cleanup to cost anywhere from $750,000 to $1 million. The city is beginning design work on a fix for the site. Resmark didn’t respond to a request for comment. Representatives for the company were present for the Dec. 16 hearing regarding Parcels 7 and 8, and expressed concerns about building on those parcels considering the 2015 landslide. According to the hearing examiner’s decision, “Susan Wilson, an officer and representative of the owners of Parcel 9, emphasized that, if final plat approval is granted (for 7 and 8), the

Parcel 9 owners will look to the City and others for appropriate compensation if the proposal damages Parcel 9.” A retaining wall and support system that is approximately 800 feet long and 39 feet high is planned for Parcels 7 and 8. After the Talus Residential Association declined to take responsibility for the wall, an agreement was reached to form a sub-association specifically for Parcels 7 and 8, which will assume responsibility for the wall. The city recommended the hearing examiner approve the final plat because it had met city standards.

OFF THE PRESS

My campaign platform focuses on strikes — and spares

fter Mayor Fred Butler announced last week he wasn’t going to seek a second term, I was struck by a crazy

thought. We’ve just had a national candidate successfully achieve the highest office in the land with no prior experience in public service or the military. Why couldn’t I pull off that feat here and throw my hat early into the ring as candidate for mayor of Issaquah? I’ve got the military experience; he who shall not be named has none. Of course, I was never really in charge of more than a shop on a ship with two or three underlings. So our qualifications might be a wash. But with no political experi-

ence, I can’t just go around Issaquah, shaking hands with a big smile on my face and say vote for me. What I need is a platform. David Traffic Hayes is a loser, Press reporter too divisive. Although, maybe promising to build a wall to keep out the commuters could work. Worked for the other guy. Maybe promising some infrastructure spending could sway some votes. But not just any infrastructure. We need structures that will keep people here

spending their hard-earned money, bringing Issaquah some much-needed tax infusion. So, what does this town not have I could promise to bring? That’s right — a bowling alley. A bowling alley checks off so many campaign categories that guarantee votes — family values, tax revenue, nostalgia, umm, fun. Anyway, can you even name the next nearest bowling alley now the one in Factoria is closed? However, right here in Issaquah sit two very large buildings currently empty — the former Staples and the former Sports Authority. I’m sure there’s some extra dollars in the city’s budget to acquire one and renovate it into a moneymaking mecca. The concept of taking out the day’s stress by slinging a

15-pound ball at some defenseless pins should sell itself. But if a bowling alley isn’t quite enough of a draw, how about lifting the ordinance banning gambling so a card room can be added to the facility? If the draw of the Issaquah Highlands league is any indication, poker remains as popular as ever, with local enthusiasts seeking it out where they can. Let’s make it easier and benefit from the fish (they’re the ones who can’t play as well as the sharks). Why should nearby casinos get all the extra revenue? If there’s a law in the way, we’ll lobby to get it changed. My platform is flexible. But if you fear placing one end of the bowling alley off-limits to the kids because gambling is for

the adults, then bring back the arcade. Set it up on the other end of the building something similar to GameWorks in Seattle. There’s stuff in there you just can’t do in the living room on the Xbox. Now, my platform may just be full of naiveté. But if someone else can deflect all criticism all the way into the White House, why couldn’t a Teflon shirt work for me all the way to the mayor’s chair? Crazier things have happened. Email reporter David Hayes at dhayes@isspress.com. Off The Press is a weekly column by members of The Issaquah Press news staff.

Preservation

All of Providence Heights is significant, not just the chapel

Efforts to landmark and preserve the Providence Heights College of Sisters Formation are admirable and deserve wide support. The complex of buildings arranged on a rare, undeveloped knoll at what was once an isolated place in Puget Sound can inspire creative new uses and honor past investments in materials and construction. Religious aspects of the former college should not be viewed as obstacles to re-use, but challenge the community to find ways to coexist and own up to the region’s proud image of sustainability and natural resource protection. The striking chapel — with its art glass windows and elegant Modernist design — claims a high place in the region’s inventory of church architecture. The spare interior was a statement of mid20th-century aesthetics, fashioned for uncluttered worship, with few

earthly distractions aside from the colored light streaming through Gabriel Loire’s windows. But those familiar with Providence Heights College understand that the value of the complex lies in the sum of all of its parts, with historical significance that reaches far above the chapel vault. A fixture of most all Catholic institutions, the chapel was not the primary reason for Providence. When the Sisters chose the Issaquah site, their

purpose was less about building a religious space than realizing hard-won educational goals that would take them to new places in their spiritual and secular lives.

milestone in the history of Catholic Sister education. This history is captured not so much in the chapel’s architectural flash, but in the elegant, wellmade buildings that surround it. For the purpose of landmark designation and adaptive use, the nationally significant role of the college cannot be carved away from the obvious architectural merit of the chapel. At Providence Heights, history, architecture and landscape are bound together in a remarkable heritage of women’s education that should be fully recognized and preserved.

Government

Rodne is failing to listen to constituents of District 5 I was disappointed to discover that Issaquah’s representative in the state Legislature, Rep. Jay Rodne, has co-sponsored Washington’s own bathroom bill (HB 1011)

and two anti-choice bills seeking limitations on abortion (HB 1002 and 1003). Rep. Rodne is not acting like someone who was elected by a narrow margin (3 percent) in a purple district. If he was listening to his constituents, he would realize that our priorities are education and traffic. I encourage everyone who is also frustrated by his partisan politics to contact his office at 360-786-7852.

Inspections were performed Jan. 2-8 by Public Health, Seattle and King County. A food establishment inspection is only a snapshot of the operation during a limited time. Readers should look at more than one inspection (view inspection reports online at theeastside.news/inspections) to get a better idea of the overall operation. Red violations: High-risk factors are improper practices or procedures identified as the most prevalent contributing factors of foodborne illness or injury. One red critical violation equals an unsatisfactory inspection. County environmental health specialists work with operators to make sure these violations are corrected before they leave the establishment.

Skyline senior wing Ben Smith (22) passes the ball to a teammate as Eastlake senior guard Grant Henderson (11) defends during the first quarter of their Jan. 13 basketball game. Henderson’s aggressive play put him in costly foul trouble in the Wolves’ 64-52 loss.

Courageous play sparks Spartans’ victory over Wolves BOYS BASKETBALL half.

Occasionally, a single play can give a team enough momentum to change the outcome of a game. In the third quarter of a Jan. 13 boys basketball game at Eastlake, the Skyline Spartans looked like they might be in trouble. Eastlake had a six-point lead when senior guard Grant Henderson bolted to the basket, laid the ball in and thought he’d be given a chance at a 3-point play. Instead, the officials ruled that Skyline’s Ryan D’Arcy was in proper defensive position and called Henderson for charging. It was Henderson’s fourth foul, sending one of the Wolves’ best players to the bench temporarily, and it started a Skyline eruption. The Spartans scored 22 of the next 25 points and never looked back, winning 64-52 to snap a two-game losing streak in Class 4A KingCo Conference competition. Skyline senior guard Ben Smith, who led all scorers with 17 points, couldn’t find enough superlatives to describe D’Arcy’s gutsy play. “All week, coach has been challenging us to play a little tougher,” Smith said, “And our last two losses, we weren’t rebounding or making the hustle plays, so for Ryan to step up in that moment, it kind of reminded all of us the type of team that we are, because we pride ourselves on our toughness, our tough defense.” Skyline coach Joe Fithian was looking for some courage from his players and got it at the perfect moment. “That’s the difference right there — one guy steps up and sacrifices, puts his body on the line and good things happen,” Fithian said. Eastlake coach Steve Kramer had a different opinion of the game’s key call but also said the Wolves shouldn’t have allowed it to derail them mentally. “I don’t believe (D’Arcy) was set but the referees are just making their calls,” Kramer said. “It was a momentum swing, but it’s up to us not to let that bother us. And we did. Obviously, we’ve got some maturing to do there.” The first three quarters were tightly contested, with the score rarely separated by more than one possession. Eastlake’s 15-14 lead after one period turned into a 27-26 Skyline lead at the

And despite the controversial call on Henderson, Eastlake still had a lead after three quarters, 40-39. Skyline (8-4 overall, 5-3 KingCo), which sits alone in third place, a game back of Bothell and Issaquah, started the fourth with an 8-0 run. Bradley Kim and Ashish Manda each hit 3-pointers and it was the start of an 11-point period for Manda, who finished the game with 16. Yousef Elkugia and Peter Chang each scored 15 points for the Wolves, though Elkugia was less effective in the second half as Skyline threw constant double-teams at him. Elkugia fouled out in the final minute. It was a damaging loss for Eastlake (5-8, 2-6), which is a game back of Mount Si for KingCo’s sixth and final playoff spot. The Wolves seemed to lose their composure late in the game and that manifested in too many quick or difficult shots. “Give Skyline credit – they outrebounded us, they were more physical, they probably got more loose balls than us,” Kramer said. “But we did not help ourselves in the second half with our shot selection. And we went on a long drought.” Smith said it was imperative for the Spartans to regain confidence after losses to Newport and Inglemoor, who sit below them in the standings. That meant being more aggressive. “It starts with all of us attacking the hoop more,” Smith said. “We’ve got great shooters like Ashish, Ryan, Kellan (Przybylski). It’s easy for us to rely on the 3-point line. But shooting comes and goes, so for us to get back to being aggressive is really how we’re going to win games.” Fithian said the Spartans tried to spread the floor and isolate Smith against one defender. “He can beat the first guy and what I’ve been trying to tell him all season is, you get too deep and you get in trouble — don’t drive without a plan,” the coach said. “Tonight, he was really patient. He was examining what was where and he attacked players rather than spots. And that made all the difference in the world.”

PUBLIC NOTICE #16‑9124 SEPA DETERMINATION MITIGATED DETERMINATION OF NONSIGNIFICANCE FOR Pine Lake Middle School Replacement DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The proposal is to construct a new middle school on approximately 34.09 acres where the existing Pine Lake Middle School campus is currently located. The new building, to be constructed in the open playfield area in the northeast por‑ tion of the site, will include one, two and three story sections providing approxi‑ mately 143,000 square feet of academic, athletic and multi‑purpose space. The project includes a softball field and practice field. The existing football field and track will be retained. The new campus will have capacity to serve 922 students with 39 teaching stations plus 8 future portable classrooms. The project will provide 140 parking spaces for the middle school. All parent and visitor traffic will enter and exit the site from the existing traffic signal on the Issaquah‑Pine Lake Road and the existing entrance on 228th Ave SE. Buses will enter from the Issaquah‑ Pine Lake Road on the existing Satellite Transportation Center entrance which will be separated from automobile traffic and will exit onto 228th Ave SE. The project will start construction in the spring of 2017 in a process that will be phased in order to keep all students on site throughout the construction of the new facility. Construction of the new middle school building will be substantially completed in Phase 01 and the new school will be occupied for the start of school in September 2018. At the end of the 2017‑2018 school year, demoli‑ tion of the existing Pine Lake Middle School (PLMS) will begin.
