City seeks initial $150,000 to begin ‘short-term’ fix of PFOS-contaminated well

By Scott Stoddard sstoddard@isspress.com An agenda bill brought before the City Council at its March 21 meeting sought an expenditure of up to $150,000 to purchase “treatment units that will be used to remove perfluorochemicals (PFCs) from the water from Well 4.”

The money would come from the

city’s Water Utility Capital Fund.

Gilman Well No. 4 is contaminated by a PFC known as perfluorooctane sulfonate, or PFOS, since the city first started testing for the chemicals in 2013.

Repeated tests for PFOS have consistently shown a detection in Gilman Well No. 4 at levels higher than the Environmental Protection Agency’s provisional health advi-

sory guideline. Those levels have declined with each test, however.

According to the text of the agenda bill, long-term strategies on how to deal with the contamination are still in preliminary development.

In the short term, the city wants to treat water from Gilman Well No. 4 by “installing a temporary treatment plant that uses granulated activated carbon to remove

the PFCs.” The city’s administration is asking the City Council to refrain from sending the bill to the Infrastructure Committee and instead authorize the expenditure immediately.

This course of action, the agenda bill says, would “give the city the

Officer Robert Hendrickson had a quiet night during a 12-hour shift policing the streets of Issaquah

By Christina Corrales-Toy ccorrales-toy@isspress.com If Campbell Wyman isn’t in the pool, he’s probably on a track, in a gymnasium or on the slopes.

The 13-year-old Maywood Middle School student has a knack for all-things athletic, and plenty of hardware to show for it, including three medals from the most recent Special Olympics Winter Games.

For Campbell, who has Down syndrome, sports is his way in the world, his mother Melissa said.

“That’s his gift,” she said. “How he connects to Campbell Wyman people is through sports. He doesn’t necessarily have a voice, but he can show what he has the ability to do through his activities.”

Whether it’s basketball, swimming or skiing, Campbell knows only one speed.

“Fast,” he said.

That’s also the best way to describe his recent performance at the state’s Special Olympics Winter Games Alpine Skiing competition, where Campbell won a gold and two silver medals.

The competition was the first weekend in March at Mission Ridge in Wenatchee.

Representing his Skihawks Racing Team, a local group that involves athletes with developmental challenges in winter sports activities, Campbell picked up a gold in the giant slalom and silvers in the downhill and slalom.

Campbell started skiing when he was just 5 years old, Melissa said. It’s one of his favorite sports because he likes to sprint out of the starting gate, he loves going fast and he’s a fan of snow.

Winning gold entered Campbell into a lottery that determined which athletes will go on to the Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria.

He wasn’t selected, but it didn’t diminish the excitement of his accomplishments, which quickly made news at Maywood, where the friendly 13-year-old is a quasicelebrity.

Officer Robert Hendrickson’s March 19 overnight patrol shift on the streets of Issaquah was a quiet one, unless you count the decibels emanating from the twentysomethings congregating outside the Rolling Log Tavern at 1 in the morning.

“Most nights in Issaquah are relatively calm,” Hendrickson said.

At 5 p.m. on that Friday night, Hendrickson grabbed a black bag containing an AR-15 rifle from inside police headquarters and headed for the Chevrolet Tahoe patrol unit he shares with one other officer. He started the SUV, turned on the flashing lights to make sure they were operating correctly, secured the rifle between the two front seats and used a pair of tuning forks to test the accuracy of the Python radar unit on the dashboard. Then he headed out for his first call of a 12-hour shift.

necessary time to ensure delivery and installation of the treatment system by June when demands typically have required use of all wells to meet production needs.”

If the council declines to authorize the $150,000 expenditure entirely, the agenda bill’s text says the city would be required to bring in more regional water “to provide the necessary supply for the peak season, which would result in a city-wide blending of supplies and other costs associated with treatment to address water quality issues that would likely arise as a result of the blending.”

If the City Council chooses to send the bill to committee for review, the city says the delay “may affect the city’s ability to provide full supply needs during the peak season.”

The text of the agenda bill also indicates that the $150,000 sought by the city will not cover the short-term strategy in its entirety.

According to the bill, “Council will be asked to consider a second appropriation at the April 4 council meeting to allow the city to prepare the site, install the treatment units, provide for operating

and maintenance expenses at Well 4 and move forward with further analysis that is needed to assess long-term options.”

In addition, the bill stated, “City staff and consultants will be present at the April 4 meeting to provide a more thorough briefing on Wells 4 and 5 and the planned scope of the additional study.

City staff will introduce this item at the March 21 council meeting.”

Issaquah’s tap water has always met federal safety guidelines.

The first-ever detection of PFOS in Gilman Well No. 4 occurred in 2013 during an EPA-guided round of testing required by what’s known as the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule. The Safe Drinking Water Act, enacted in 1996, requires that once every five years the EPA issue a new list of no more than 30 unregulated contaminants to be monitored by public water systems.

Between 2013 and 2015, PFOS was one of the contaminants on the EPA’s list. When the 2013 results came back on Gilman Well No. 4, they showed a PFOS detection of 0.6 parts per billion, which was three times the EPA’s provisional health advisory level of 0.2 parts per billion.

PFOS is not regulated by the EPA under the UCMR testing, but the agency says the monitoring “provides

a basis for future regulatory actions to protect public health.”

Subsequent tests of Gilman Well No. 4 showed PFOS levels of 0.514 parts per billion in 2014 and 0.472 parts per billion in 2015.

The source of the PFOS contamination has yet to be determined. One theory which has been mentioned by multiple city officials: During a 2002 tanker truck fire on Interstate 90 near the well, firefighting foam, which at that time contained PFOS, was used extensively by crews from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Boeing to combat the blaze.

The health effects of PFOS on humans are still being studied. Animals exposed to PFOS suffered from liver, thyroid, developmental and immune system damage.

Another PFC, perfluorononanoic acid, or PFNA, has also been consistently

detected in Gilman Well No. 4. Test results for PFNA levels in Gilman Well No. 4 were 0.028 parts per billion in 2013, 0.026 parts per billion in 2014 and 0.022 parts per billion in 2013.

While there is no federal advisory level for PFNA, New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection has established an “interim ground water quality criteria” of 0.01 parts per billion for PFNA. In other words, Gilman Well No. 4’s PFNA readings are more than twice the level that New Jersey would consider acceptable.

Gilman Well No. 5 has problems of its own — it has consistently tested near the EPA’s acceptable limit for arsenic.

According to the city’s 2014 Water Quality Report, a sample of water drawn from Gilman Well No. 5 in 2007 showed an arsenic reading of 9.9 parts per billion. The

Thursday, March 24, 2016 • EPA’s maximum contaminant level for arsenic is 10 parts per billion.

However, a recent study on the effects of arsenic at the EPA safety level has called that benchmark into question. Scientists at the Marine Biological Laboratory and the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth University found that pregnant mice who consumed drinking water which contained 10 parts per billion of arsenic “exhibited significant disruption in their lipid metabolism, leading to diminished nutrients in their blood and in their breast milk.”

A summary of the study continued: “As a result, their offspring showed significant growth and development deficits during the postnatal period before weaning. Birth outcomes such as litter size and length of gestation were unaffected.”

Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water, said the city in 2015 reported an arsenic reading of 9 parts per billion, but the source wasn’t specific.

“The value coming out of the well is 9 parts per billion,” James said, “but I don’t know for sure that that’s not a blended sample with Well 4 operating at the same time.”

James said that when the EPA lowered its maximum contaminant level for arsenic from 50 parts per billion to 10 parts per billion in 2007, it sparked “quite a discussion at the national level.”

“You will find a lot of people ... who would suggest it should go lower,” James said.

James also said Gilman Well No. 5 has shown at least one arsenic detection of 10 parts per billion before 2007, when the EPA’s safety benchmark was still 50 parts per billion.

Fixing our state’s failing bridges should be a new top priority

Scott Stoddard / sstoddard@isspress.com The water from hundreds of systems in the state of Washington was tested for perfluorooctane sulfonate in 2013, yet only one well — Issaquah’s Gilman Well No. 4 — showed a detection of the potentially hazardous chemical more commonly known by its abbreviation, PFOS. Despite results that showed the amount of PFOS in Gilman Well No. 4 was three times higher than the Environmental Protection Agency’s provisional health advisory level, it took years for the City of Issaquah to address the contamination.

Two-and-a-half years passed between the first detection of unsafe levels of PFOS in Gilman Well No. 4 and the city’s first substantive efforts to address it

T

he City of Issaquah’s 2013 Water Quality Report began with a message from Mayor Fred Butler that was headlined, “A Clean Report.”

That point is certainly debatable.

Butler’s note began, “This report will help you — our valued customer — understand Issaquah’s commitment to providing you the highest quality water possible.

“Rest assured — Issaquah has met all safety guidelines and water quality requirements once again.”

Those statements were true if you were speaking only of Issaquah’s tap water. What the mayor failed to mention was the discovery of a potentially hazardous chemical in the water produced by Gilman Well No. 4. Not only was perfluorooctane sulfonate present, it was at a level three times higher than what the Environmental Protection Agency advised was safe.

The detection level of the chemical, more commonly known as PFOS, was listed in a table within the water quality report, but the EPA’s provisional health advisory level for PFOS was not.

The EPA’s provisional health advisory level for PFOS was established in 2009. The EPAmandated test that turned up PFOS in Gilman Well No. 4 was conducted in July 2013. The water quality report with Butler’s remarks was issued in mid-2014.

Yet the city waited until just recently before

taking substantial action that would address the PFOS contamination. The administration asked the City Council this week to authorize a $150,000 expenditure to get the ball rolling on purchasing treatment units for Gilman Well No. 4.

And a larger question looms.

The EPA ordered municipal water systems to test for PFOS and other perfluorinated chemicals beginning in 2013. Yet it’s difficult to fathom PFOS wasn’t present in Well No. 4 before 2013.

Even with blending, which the city has relied on to dilute PFOS before it reaches your tap, was the chemical at a level in Issaquah’s tap water in years previous to 2013 that today would be considered a health risk?

“There’s no way to know,” said Bob James, Northwest Region manager in the state Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water.

“It could have certainly been higher. But it also could have been lower.”

Another expert, associate professor of environmental chemistry Joyce Dinglasan-Panlilio of the University of Washington-Tacoma, said, “It could have been much higher than what it was in 2013.”

“The bottom line,” she said, “is that we shouldn’t be finding this in drinking water.”

We agree. And it shouldn’t have taken twoand-a-half years for the people who are responsible for our water supply to address it.

TO THE EDITOR Traffic

Third Street vehicle bridge would spoil quiet neighborhood

This letter is not only a letter to the editor, it is also a letter to the City Council members. We are property owners in the vicinity of Third Street and Northeast Birch in downtown Issaquah. We have heard that there might be talk about making Third Street go from Sunset over to Gilman, which would require a vehicle bridge over the creek. We would like to express our extreme dislike of this idea. This is a nice, quiet residential neighborhood, and a thoroughfare like this would bring too much traffic and noise. It was one thing to make the Fourth Street “shortcut” in a commercial area, but this family neighborhood should not be subjected to this change. It is a bad idea and it needs to be squelched now.

We have lived in Issaquah for almost 19 years and are saddened to see things like the Atlas monstrosity going up on Gilman Boulevard. We don’t need a big street running through a neighborhood where there are children involved. Please reassure me that this will not happen.

Readers should look at more than one inspection (view inspection reports online at kingcounty. gov) 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.

Blue violations: Low-risk factors are preventive measures to control the addition of pathogens, chemicals, and physical objects into foods.

435 or more red violation points require a reinspection within 14 days.

490 or more red violation points or 120 total violation points (red and blue) require closure of the establishment.

Nate Nguyen sits in a simulator at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala., while participating in the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy.

Nate Nguyen is a longtime fan of the cable-television show “Mythbusters,” whose hosts prove or disprove urban myths, usually with explosive results.

The program begins each episode with the hosts intoning, “Warning: Don’t try what you’re about to see at home.

We’re professionals.”

One of the show’s most talked-about episodes was when the hosts disproved all the myths surrounding the moon landing, thus proving we did indeed go. So Nguyen never thought he’d ever get the chance to try some of the type of experiments the “Mythbusters” hosts were known for performing. That was until he participated in the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy in February, similar to an amateur NASA program for students.

After graduating from the program, Nguyen still heeds the show’s warning.

“I don’t consider myself a professional yet,” the Skyline High School junior said.

The Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy is a scholarship program that promotes STEM education (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and effective leadership skills at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Ala. The only catch with applying for the program is it’s open solely to children of Honeywell employees.

Luckily for Nguyen, his father, Luong, works for Honeywell’s aerospace division in Redmond.

“My dad forwarded an email about the program and wanted me to fill it out,” Nate said. “I kind of ignored it until the application deadline.”

But his father kept pestering Nate about it. Nate said the application required him to write two essays — why he wanted to go and what he hoped to gain — and provide a list of extracurricular activities and a school transcript.

Nate was able to highlight his pursuit of an International Baccalaureate diploma at Skyline, his involvement in the Olympiad and Key clubs, and his twice-a-month volunteering effort.

“When I got the acceptance email, I was actually surprised,” Nate admitted.

“I hadn’t applied to anything before this, so I thought it would be a lot more difficult to get in.”

Once he was in, it was nonstop immersion into NASA training. There were many team-building exercises.

Some were small — they were given some copper, aluminum foil and some wires, and told, “Here, now build a heat shield to protect a stick of hot glue from falling off,” Nate said.

Other projects were big, such as simulating a space shuttle mission.

“We simulated launch to landing,” Nate said. “It was fun because I was a mission specialist, so I got to go outside in low gravity to work on the shuttle.”

The activities weren’t all just simulations. Nate had to don a flight suit to ride aboard actual centrifuges that spun him around at the end of a long, mechanical arm at 3.2 times normal gravity. He also got to hop around on a moon-walker that simulated the moon’s gravity, which is one-sixth of

Earth’s.

In between simulations, Nate did spend a lot time in the classroom with his fellow students learning and debating, from technology in school to driverless cars. Of the 160 students he spent the week with, only six were from Washington. The others were from more than 30 countries, including Poland, Norway, Mexico, France, England and China.

In addition to the lessons,

NASA scientists and astronauts visited the students, including space shuttle Capt. Robert “Hoot” Gibson and Systems Engineer Sam Ortega.

“Gibson was pretty cool,” Nate recalled. “He talked about shuttle missions, kind of bragging to us the entire time about how he got to ‘free shuttle.’ But he was a cool dude.”

Additional activities like flying a simulated combat

mission — where he piloted an F-15 Eagle — and building model rockets got Nate to rethinking his own STEM education.

“Before this, I liked airplanes,” he said. “Now I’m thinking of rocketry as a potential thing. But I still like aeronautics.”

Nate, still a year away from graduation, is looking to limit his college application process to in-state schooling.

“Hopefully it will be the University of Washington,” Nate said. “But it will probably be in some sort of engineering field, because Ortega has gone to NASA with just a civil engineering degree. He said it doesn’t really matter, as long as you have some sort of STEM degree.”

As much as his father had to twist his arm to apply, Nate said he’s glad he did, even if it surprised them both.

“I feel like this is a once-ina-lifetime thing,” Nate said.

Meet Frank, a 2-year-old American Pit Bull mix who would love to be your best buddy. Don’t let his size fool you, he’s a big Frank lover who wants nothing more than to be next to you. His favorite spot is wherever you are and where he can love his people, and he’d happily trade tail wags and kisses for a good chin or neck scratch. Frank would do well with a strong owner who can help his personality shine.

He’s sure to be a sweet and loyal member of your family.

THEATER REVIEW

Tracy Martin / Village Theatre

Joell Weil as Balinda Dagumbo (third from right) and cast members dance and sing the musical number ‘Welcome, Sun’ from the production of ‘ My Heart Is the Drum’ at Village Theatre.

A journey toward greatness

By David Hayes dhayes@isspress.com Let me start with the end.

By the time the final curtain falls on Village Theatre’s world premiere of “My Heart is the Drum,” you’ll know you’ve just witnessed something extraordinary.

To say the musical production was a tour de force is not just hyperbole. Usually the term is

reserved for singling out one particular performance. But the entire cast of “My Heart is the Drum” is so memorable, the accolade must be shared from the tallest dancer to the youngest extra.

Introduced in Village Theatre’s Originals program, the creative team behind the production — book by Jennie Redling, music and concept by Phillip Palmer and lyrics by Stacey Luftig — helped shape “My Heart is the Drum” into a truly memorable experience. When a musical wins several awards during its development,

you know its destined for greatness.

Under the guidance of Broadway veteran Schele Williams, Village Theatre’s “My Heart is the Drum” will be the template from which all future performances are compared.

As great as is the whole, its success weighs heavily on the heart of the tale, the story of Efua Kuti, a bright young girl who wants to experience life’s possibilities outside her African village through a university education. Bringing it to life is Claudine Mboligikpelani Nako. Through Nako’s performance,

In a tale this new and fresh, it’s a rewarding experience not knowing what happens next. So I’ll save the spoilers and let you discover all that unfolds as director Williams intended.

I will say this — it’s not often you can say you were there when greatness debuted. “My Heart is the Drum” is that opportunity.

Patrol from page

lets the driver go.

8:53 p.m.: Cars hurtle by on Interstate 90 as Hendrickson pulls up behind a Washington State Patrol vehicle on the shoulder.

The trooper has stopped an SUV and noticed a “strong odor of alcohol” in the vehicle. Hendrickson chats up the passenger, who owns the SUV. The trooper, meanwhile, conducts a field sobriety test, asking the driver to follow the trooper’s finger as he moves it laterally in front of the driver’s face. The trooper, satisfied the driver isn’t intoxicated, allows the men to leave.

1

5:28 p.m.: A caller complains that underage youths are smoking on a bridge that connects a Front Street South apartment complex with the Rainier Trail, and that they are putting out the cigarettes on the bridge, leaving the butts behind.

Hendrickson, 51, backs into a visitor’s parking spot, grabs the heavy-duty flashlight mounted behind the passenger seat — he takes the flashlight with him on every stop — and walks behind the complex, where the smokers are still on the bridge.

He checks their IDs. “We’re not allowed to smoke in the apartments,” one of the four says.

It turns out everyone is of legal age. Hendrickson heads back to his rig, stopping to pet a dog that is walking through the parking lot.

5:37 p.m.: Hendrickson eases the Tahoe onto the side of Southeast Lewis Street to investigate a collision on Issaquah-Hobart Road. One of the drivers involved is an employee of the Issaquah Police Department. She tells Hendrickson her car, a Nissan Altima, was rear-ended by a Ford F250 truck with a load of lumber on the roof rack. The force of the the collision caused the Altima to tap the rear bumper of a white Ford Mustang.

“I am so sorry,” the driver of the pickup, a slender man in a cowboy hat, says.

Hendrickson gathers up drivers licenses, vehicle registrations and proof of insurance and retreats to the Tahoe. He opens his laptop and runs the licenses and plate numbers. He later uses a smartphone to photograph the damage caused by the pickup.

After Hendrickson has entered everyone’s details into the computer, a printer mounted to a divider in the Tahoe produces copies of an exchange-of-information document for each person involved in the collision. The pickup driver also received a notice of infraction —a ticket — for “speed too fast for conditions.”

9:07 p.m.: Another stop for expired tabs. This time, a Honda Element at Interstate 90 and State Route 900.

9:16 p.m.: It’s a lucky night for the driver of a Mazda, which registers 60-plus in a 40 mph zone. But Hendrickson is en route to assist another officer on a traffic stop on Interstate 90.

Officer Robert Hendrickson of the Issaquah Police Department questions a woman about an incident March 18 in which her dog, Niko, allegedly jumped on a young girl at a park in the Issaquah Highlands.

Officer Robert Hendrickson (center) and Officer Leighton Barbin (right) walk through the Rolling Log Tavern on East Sunset Way while looking for underage or overserved patrons just before 1 a.m. on March 19.

Behind the Issaquah Park-and-Ride garage, Officer Robert Hendrickson talks with the driver of a Nissan Versa he pulled over for speeding March 18 on State Route 900 between Northwest Talus Drive and Newport Way Northwest. Hendrickson clocked the vehicle at 65 mph in a 40 mph zone and issued the driver a ticket.

10:40 p.m.: Another traffic stop for expired license tabs, this time on State Route 900.

6:35 p.m.: Hendrickson heads to the Issaquah Highlands, responding to a call about a dispute at a park. A mother at the park tells a dispatcher another woman’s dog has jumped on one of her daughters, and she wants the dog owner’s information so she can report the dog to the county. The dog owner calls in and says the mother is not letting her leave the park.

En route to the park, Hendrickson calls the mother’s cell phone.

“If she tries to leave, you can’t keep her from leaving,” he tells the mother, who is not happy. “Ma’am. Ma’am. Ma’am. Ma’am,” Hendrickson says, trying to interject while the woman continues on with what was a one-sided discussion.

When Hendrickson arrives at the park, he interviews both women. He holds out his hand to Niko, the dog in question.

“Even if you put a finger into his mouth, he won’t bite,” Niko’s owner says.

“We’re not dog people!” the mother declares.

The mother complains to Hendrickson: “Your manner towards me is very different than your manner towards her.”

Hendrickson refreshes her memory regarding their earlier conversation. “When I tried to talk with you on the phone, you didn’t let me get a word in edgewise.”

Hendrickson then interviews the girl who Niko allegedly jumped on.

“Were you sitting down or standing up?” he asks. “Did it try to bite you?”

“Why did it scare you?

“Did it bark at you?

“Did she say anything to you?”

Hendrickson collects information from each woman and tells the mother he’ll write a report. She can obtain a copy once it’s complete, he says.

“We have a dog park,” the mother, still upset, says. “This isn’t a dog park.”

Hendrickson departs, leaves Issaquah Highlands and takes I-90 en route to State Route 900. A Christian radio station provides background noise as he accelerates onto the freeway.

“I stop cars on the freeway frequently, and I’m one of the few (in the department) that do.”

10:57 p.m.: Hendrickson drives methodically through the South Cove neighborhood, looking for anything out of the ordinary. He then heads back onto West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast to check for speeders.

11:12 p.m.: The man contacted earlier in the Office Depot parking lot is causing a disturbance at a nearby motel. Three officers respond, including Hendrickson, and they tell the man to go into his room and to go to bed. The man, who showed signs of mental illness, complies.

“We see that more and more and more,” Hendrickson says, describing mental health calls. “It’s a big challenge. And it doesn’t seem like there’s a clear way to solve it.”

11:45 p.m.: A driver on Dogwood Street calls in to report a man lying in the middle in the street. Hendrickson responds, as does two other officers. The man is clearly intoxicated but otherwise seems fine. Eastside Fire and Rescue personnel arrive to help the man to the sidewalk, and he eventually winds up at a local hospital for treatment.

12:21 a.m.: More neighborhood patrolling, this time crisscrossing the Talus area. Nothing is amiss.

12:51 a.m.: Hendrickson makes a radio call to Officer Barbin and soon the two are walking down Sunset Way East to conduct “bar checks” at the Rolling Log Tavern and the H & H Saloon. The crowd outside the Rolling Log makes way as the duo approaches, although one man looks at Hendrickson and says, loudly, “That is a spectacular mustache, my friend!” Hendrickson doesn’t take the bait, replying, “Thank you,” without breaking stride. Both bars are crowded and loud, but tame at the same time. The two officers don’t stay long at either locale. By 1:02, they are both back in their patrol vehicles and out on the streets.

1:15 a.m.: There’s a very occasional yawn as Hendrickson drives through the Pine Lake area and then into the Issaquah Highlands. He worked 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. the night before, drove home to Spanaway and returned to Issaquah at 10:30 a.m. for traffic court. He stayed until 12:30 p.m., again drove home to Spanaway and then was back in Issaquah at 5 p.m. for this shift.

Hendrickson jokes that he is very familiar with State Route 18.

He lives in Spanaway because the cost of living is lower there.

He estimates that only one of the roughly 40 officers in the department live in Issaquah. “I live an hour south, and some live an hour north,” Hendrickson says.

Officer Robert Hendrickson talks with Officer Leighton Barbin while they look for a man in the parking lot of PCC Natural Market near 12th Avenue Northwest.

1:22 a.m.: A dispatcher reports a noise complaint at the back of the H & H. Hendrickson returns there, but all is quiet when he arrives.

1:29 a.m.: The two baristas at BigFoot Java on Northwest Gilman Boulevard smile as Hendrickson pulls up to the window. He orders a hot chocolate, and the trio discuss new cars vs. used cars and concealed weapon permits. Hendrickson says he does not drink coffee.

7:41 p.m.: Hendrickson spots an expired license tab. The 2015 stickers are black and the 2016 stickers are blue, and as night falls, differentiating between the two becomes more of a challenge. He falls in behind a Ford Escape, turns on his flashing lights and follows the vehicle into an area near the gas pumps of the Shell station at Front Street North and Gilman Boulevard Northwest. The driver receives a ticket for the out-of-date tabs.

1:43 a.m.: A Honda Accord is pulled over on an Interstate 90 onramp after Hendrickson hears its muffler hitting the ground.

“It becomes a potential safety issue,” he says after talking to the driver and sending him on his way.

“Most of the time on equipment, I give them the opportunity to make it right,” Hendrickson says.

8 p.m.: Checking on an earlier phone call that he couldn’t pick up, Hendrickson sees it’s from the mother who he had spoken to at the park less than two hours earlier. She is upset that a copy of the report will cost money. He tells her it wouldn’t be more than a couple dollars. She seems placated by the news.

1:57 a.m.: Another officer has made a traffic stop on Newport Way Northwest and Hendrickson rolls by to see if his assistance is needed, but he is waved off.

2:04 a.m.: A car sits on the narrow shoulder of IssaquahHobart Road with its hazard lights flashing. Hendrickson pulls up alongside, and after hearing the driver say everything is OK, he suspects the driver might be intoxicated.

On average, Hendrickson says he conducts one field sobriety test each night he works. But this time, after talking to the driver, it’s clear he isn’t under the influence, and Hendrickson allows him to drive off.

“He was pulled over because his trunk light came on,” Hendrickson said.

8:10 p.m.: Time for another trip on Newport Way to check for speeders. As he approaches the overpass crossing Interstate 90, a Porsche coupe races onto the onramp. Hendrickson begins to pursue the car down the freeway, but his attention shifts to a vehicle directly behind him. High beams from an SUV’s headlights fill the rearview mirror. He slows the Tahoe, allows the SUV to pass, pulls it over and gives the driver a warning.

8:40 p.m.: Hendrickson stops a car with Connecticut license

plates in a Walgreens parking lot after the driver hit a curb while trying to make a left turn. He runs the driver’s license and checks out the car’s registration, and when everything checks out, he

9:28 p.m.: Traveling along Northwest Gilman Boulevard, Hendrickson brakes when another vehicle swings quickly out of a shopping center and comes uncomfortably close while trying to get on Gilman.

Hendrickson brakes and rolls down his window, and the driver of the other vehicle does the same.

“A bit aggressive coming out there,” Hendrickson tells the driver.

“I’m sorry, officer,” the man replies.

“OK,” Hendrickson says, and continues down Gilman.

9:45 p.m.: Dinner time has arrived. Hendrickson walks into the Qdoba Mexican Grill on East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast and orders a taco salad without the shell and a side of spicy queso. He takes the food back to the City Hall-Police Building, buys a bottle of Dasani water from a vending machine and sits down in the break room, alone, to eat. The building is quiet except for “Captain America,” which plays on the small television in the corner of the break room.

Regarding meal breaks, Hendrickson says, “We try not to take them all at the same time.” Regarding his visit to Qdoba, he says, “I’m not really good about packing my lunch.”

After he finishes his food, he stops in for a quick chat with the two dispatchers on duty, then heads back to his patrol vehicle, checking his text messages on the way.

6:20 p.m.: Looking for speeders, Hendrickson drives a circuitous route that heads northwest on Newport Way, across Interstate 90 and back toward central Issaquah on West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast.

How fast does one have to be traveling to attract his attention?

“Generally start at 10 over,” Hendrickson says. “School zone? A little less.”

8:17 p.m.: A call comes in about a man pointing his finger like a gun in the parking lot near PCC Natural Market. Another unit driven by Officer Leighton Barbin is already on the scene. Hendrickson arrives and the pair searches for the man, eventually spotting him near Office Depot. He walks away as Barbin tells him to stop doing what he’s doing because it’s frightening other people.

9:20 p.m.: Hendrickson pulls up the City Hall-Police Building and walks into the lobby, where a woman is talking to Sgt. Jeff Johnson. She leaves a few seconds after Hendrickson arrives.

“She didn’t like an answer she got from Snoqualmie police, so she came down here,” Hendrickson says. “I’m not sure what her complaint was.”

9:35 p.m.: Older white Toyota Corolla. Northwest Talus Drive at State Route 900. Headlight out. Warning.

6:10 p.m.: The Tahoe needs gasoline, so Hendrickson heads for Grange Supply on Northeast Gilman Boulevard and fills it up.

Why Grange Supply?

“I don’t make that decision,” he says. “That decision is not made over at the police department.”

7:18 p.m.: The Python unit squeals and Hendrickson flips a U-turn on State Route 900, gunning the Tahoe to chase down a speeding Nissan Versa, which was clocked at 65 mph in a 40 mph zone.

“What was the hurry?” Hendrickson asks the driver.

“There was a car doing 60 in front of you and you passed that guy.”

The driver is argumentative. He expresses surprise that Hendrickson’s patrol vehicle had the ability to clock speeds of vehicles traveling in the opposite direction.

Hendrickson’s offer to show the driver the radar readout was rebuffed.

A 33-year law enforcement veteran, Hendrickson has spent the last 10 with the Issaquah Police Department. He was previously a Washington State Patrol trooper and an Air Force Security Police sergeant, starting his law enforcement career at McChord Air Force Base.

2:07 a.m.: The streets are close to empty. Hendrickson heads back to police headquarters to start on paperwork. He has reports to write, starting with the accident more than eight hours earlier on Issaquah-Hobart Road.

At 5 a.m., Hendrickson will head home to Spanaway, another 12-hour shift in the books. Most likely, he’ll be back on State Route 18, but every once in a while he’ll take Interstates 90, 405 and 5 instead.

“Just for a change of pace.”

Issaquah Newport Way Storage, located on the corner of Northwest Juniper Street and Newport Way Northwest, has sold for a price one industry website said “is the highest price per square foot paid for a selfstorage facility in the Seattle area.”

Commercial Property Executive did not report the sales price, but did say it equated to $289 per square foot. The King County Department of Assessments lists the building’s net square footage at 53,706 and the gross square footage at 73,350, which would put the sales price between $15.5 million and $21.1 million.

The website said the sellers received “numerous substantial offers from national institutions.” It reports the buyer was a local family trust. The seller was Issaquah Storage LLC, which state records show is governed by Alan L. Ameche of Kirkland, John P. Hayden of Kirkland and Raymond Spencer of Sammamish.

The building was constructed in 2009. County tax records show the most recent assessed value for the 518unit storage facility and the 0.61 acres of land it sits on was $5.4 million.

Skyline sweeps Newport in KingCo 4A opener TRACK AND FIELD SKYLINE BOYS 95 NEWPORT 50 SKYLINE GIRLS 94 NEWPORT 52

By Neil Pierson npierson@isspress.com Skyline High School’s track and field teams got the 2016 season off to a flying start under sunny skies on St. Patrick’s Day, sweeping the Newport Knights in a Class 4A KingCo Conference meet in Sammamish.

Skyline’s boys were 95-50 winners over Newport, while the girls used dominance in the sprints and long distances for a 94-52 victory.

Maizy Brewer, who will run for the University of Idaho next year, had a positive start to her senior campaign, winning the girls’ 1,600 meters in 5 minutes, 17.78 seconds.

Brewer is a three-time medalist at the state cross country championships, but is seeking her first track medal at the state meet in May. “Coach told me to kind of take it as a workout and I’m always hard on myself, but I feel good,” she said after her first race of the season.

Brewer’s personal record in the 1,600 is 5:02.13, and she aims to be in the 4:50 range by the end of the season. She put in 40 miles a week during the winter.

“I haven’t really gotten much speed work in, so it probably reflected in my last lap today,” she said. “I’m mainly just getting that endurance up right now and starting to slowly add in speed work.”

Brewer had a second-place time of 2:34.37 in the 800

meters, helping push teammate Geneva Schlepp to a winning time of 2:29.39. Brewer will likely focus on the 3,200 as a second event, but said Schlepp has been a good training partner.

Other Skyline girls who earned victories against Newport included Nicole Cox in the 200 meters, Maisy Webb in the 400 and Erin Pletcher in the 800.

Senior Brandi Hughes, the defending state champion in the 100 hurdles, was victorious in the 100 dash and 300 hurdles, and ran for the Spartans’ 1,600 relay team, which won in 4:20.90.

In the field, Skyline’s Katherine Koldendich won the javelin at 85 feet, 4 inches. Stephanie Lunde took the high jump at 4-6, and Jade Loville won the long jump at 14-1.

Skyline’s boys cruised to victory behind senior sprinter Tyler Ma, who took first place in the 200 (23.28) and 400 (51.86).

The Spartans swept the middle and long distances through Alexander Laucius (2:01.23 in the 800), Connor Edson (4:42.10 in the 1,600) and Imran McGrath (10:34.56 in the 3,200).

The 400 relay squad of Dane Petterson, Lane Mallula, Luke Stiles and Jenson Mulvey won in 45.06 seconds. The 1,600 relay squad of Laucius, Mallula, Stiles and Remington Yost won in 3:39.59.

Skyline’s throwers swept their events as Kyle Matthews won the shot put (39-9), Hunter Kiphart won the discus (110-3) and Skyler Matthews won the javelin (125-11).

Stiles soared to victory in the long jump (19-5) and Bradley Kim did likewise in the triple jump (41-4 ½).

Patriots earn hard-fought 1-1 draw against Hazen LIBERTY ROUNDUP

Liberty midfielders Tora Gao (4) and Jacob Christopher (6) surround and steal the ball from Hazen’s Robbie Schroeder in the teams’ 1-1 draw March 17.

It didn’t look good for the Liberty soccer team.

For the better part of its March 17 match against East Renton rival Hazen, the Highlanders clearly held the upper hand.

Hazen outshot Liberty 16-2, but in the end, the net proved elusive for the Highlanders, who missed several near goals. It was enough to keep the Patriots in it, as the teams settled for a 1-1 draw.

The Highlanders found the net first, when senior forward Zach Quesnel scored in the match’s 57th minute.

Liberty would answer just 10 minutes later as Holden Kooiker scored on a Bradley Jarvis assist.

The Patriots ended the first week of the season with one of everything — a win, a loss and a tie.

Liberty opened the season with a 4-0 win over Hanford and then lost to Lindbergh 2-1 before facing Hazen.

Fastpitch Liberty scored a combined 21

runs in its first two games of the season, but their opponents managed to score even more.

The Patriots had 10 runs on 11 hits in a 29-10 loss to Orting March 15. Orting scored 12 in the first inning, putting Liberty in an insurmountable hole.

The Patriots’ Madi Jones was a perfect 3-3 at the plate with two runs and an RBI. Kendall Kauzlarich and Sarah Abraham each had two RBIs. Mercer Island put up 21 runs against the Patriots in Liberty’s See LIBERTY, Page 13

Eagles open home soccer slate with win over Glacier Peak ISSAQUAH 3 GLACIER PEAK 1

By Neil Pierson npierson@isspress.com The Issaquah boys soccer team doesn’t have many players returning from last season, but don’t tell the Eagles they need more time to mesh together.

Issaquah has four points from its first two matches, including a convincing 3-1 victory over the Glacier Peak Grizzlies in a March 15 nonleague outing at Gary Moore Stadium.

Junior forward Reily Wilken, who scored twice in the victory, said the Eagles aren’t worried about the fact they lost 13 graduating seniors a year ago.

“I think that our biggest strength would probably be the team chemistry,” said Wilken, who scored in the 30th and 37th minutes to give Issaquah a two-goal

21-11 loss to the Islanders March 18.

Kauzlarich led the Patriots, picking up four RBIs and scoring two runs.

Baseball Liberty began its season with two contests against the defending Class 3A state champions.

The Patriots dropped both games to Mercer Island in the season’s first week. They lost to the Islanders 13-1 on March 16, but kept it closer the next day, losing 3-0.

Liberty picked up its first league win of the season with a 2-1 victory over Sammamish March 18. Tyler Haselman and Alex Olague each went went 2-3 with one RBI.

Girls tennis Liberty kicked the season off with a nonconference 6-1 win over Tahoma on March 16.

Sienna Rice, Luciana Sobrino, Jyotsna Kuramkote, Grace Lee and the doubles teams of Cheyenne Rice and Jenny Dang and Christina and Catherine La all had wins for the Patriots.

Liberty won its next match 4-3 over Inglemoor on March 17. Sienna Rice, Sobrino, Kuramkote and Lee all won their matches.

halftime lead.

“We’re all really close and good friends. We only have three or four starting players coming back, so it has been a real transition, but we have been working hard in practice and getting to know each other well, and the most important thing in high-school soccer is chemistry, so I think we’re going to be tight in that area.”

Junior midfielder Issac Chai, who scored in Issaquah’s season-opening draw at Marysville Getchell, said the players were hungry to beat the Grizzlies after losing to them last season in Snohomish, 2-1.

“We were brave enough to come in, take on the Glacier Neil Pierson / npierson@isspress.com Peak team,” Chai said. “It Issaquah senior midfielder Blake Redding, right, clears the ball was challenging, but we away from Glacier Peak’s Keagan Rubio during the second half fought together as a team of the teams’ March 15 boys soccer match at Issaquah High and it worked out perfectly.”

Issaquah coach Kyle Tatro is utilizing a 3-5-2 formation to overwhelm opponents on the edges of the field. It puts a lot of pressure on wingers like Chai.

“It’s getting a little tiring, but I’ll get used to that,” Chai said. “I have to go up and down – defense and offense – but it’s exciting.”

Wilken provides a bit of muscle up front for the Eagles, and said he has been playing forward since his days at Sunset Elementary School.

“I like to use my speed and my strength,” he said. “I like to turn players down the line and in the middle, and I think I just connect well and hold off players.”

Issaquah won’t play again until March 25, when it opens Class 4A KingCo Conference action with a home game against Woodinville.

Wilken put Issaquah back in front with a highlight-reel goal. He took a throw-in from Blake Redding near the left sideline, slalomed past a defender and soared a 25-yard shot over Grizzly keeper Sahm Noorfeshan.

Wilken’s second goal came shortly before halftime. Most of the credit went to junior midfielder Jacob Barsher, who got the assist by zipping through the defense and finding a wide-open Wilken about 10 yards from goal.

“He’s a great guy,” Wilken said of Barsher, a varsity newcomer. “He works hard.

He’s quick. He can just destroy players down the line.”

With a two-goal cushion, Issaquah was content to focus on its defensive shape in the second half. Lambert, a senior who gained valuable experience in the Premier Development League last
