THE THRILL OF SALMON DAYS
Local group working to save lodge with new business, membership participation plans By Christina Corrales-Toy and Peter Clark A revamped business plan and more member participation will be needed if the Lake Sammamish Elks Lodge No. 1843 wants to continue. Washington State Elks Association Vice President John Fry said the Issaquah chapter, previously based at 765 Rainier Blvd. N., recently faced a change in its charter. “It’s been suspended so the lodge can reorganize,” Fry said. “They just needed to come up with a business plan and engage the community a bit more.” The suspension comes after members voted to retain its charter Sept. 16, and it will allow a 90-day reorganization. Member Sean Crowder volunteered to lead a group that will focus on reorganizing. He said

Seattle task force seeks ‘Rent Money Bandit’ Council gets bike, pedestrian plan Police are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man believed to have robbed banks in Issaquah, Newcastle and Bellevue. The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force is calling him the “Rent Money Bandit” because each of the incidents occurred during the first few days of the month, according to a news release from the FBI. The man is wanted for his alleged involvement in the following bank robberies: 10 a.m. Aug. 4 at Issaquah’s Gilman Boulevard Chase Bank; 2 p.m. Sept. 2 at Newcastle’s Chase Bank; and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at Bellevue’s Overlake Chase Bank branch. The subject is described as a white male in his 30s or 40s, about 6 feet tall and of thin build. In each robbery, he is wearing a dark baseball cap of various styles, dark sunglasses and black gloves. In two robberies, he wore a raglan shirt with dark sleeves. For the Newcastle incident, his hat had a distinctive, triangular letter A. He implied he had a weapon in at least one robbery. Anyone with information as to the identity or whereabouts of

‘Rent Money Bandit’ the suspected robber should call law enforcement immediately and refrain from approaching him. Those with information should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477) toll free. Callers to Crime Stoppers may remain anonymous and are eligible to receive a cash reward of up to $1,000 if the information given leads to an arrest and charge of the person(s) involved. The Seattle Safe Streets Task Force includes members from the FBI, Bellevue Police Department, Auburn Police Department, King County Sheriff’s Office and Seattle Police Department.
The bike and pedestrian plan is meant to guide city officials regarding how to build traffic and infrastructure improvements with an emphasis on increasing mobility for cyclists and walkers. As the central area redevelops, city officials wanted to provide guidance for developers regarding how to help Issaquah grow more helpful for alternative transportation. “This is actually an outgrowth of a council goal from 2012,” Council President Paul Winterstein said. The council asked the administration to compose the plan in response to and gauge public opinion regarding the community’s present and future needs pertaining to walking and cycling. The Department of Sustainability worked with consulting firm Parametrix to formulate a final draft. “We asked the Issaquah public, ‘What’s the most important thing you need to get you walking and rolling?’” Ryan Abbotts, the transportation planning manager at Parametrix, said.
Local residents want to walk and roll all night — and probably through the day as well. The Issaquah City Council received the most recent bike and pedestrian plan from the city’s Department of Sustainability during its Committee of the Whole meeting Sept. 22. Named Walk + Roll Issaquah, the plan aims to provide a framework to ensure easier nonvehicle travel in the city through “guiding the development and implementation of future projects and programs.” Though parts of other plans deal with how to plot the city’s future aim to add more ways to walk and bike, Department of Sustainability Director David Fujimoto said the city needs one document to tie it all together. “There’s a foundation of documents within the Comprehensive Plan, but there are some missing pieces to that,” Fujimoto said. “And really, this plan is taking some of those pieces and building on them.”
“We heard many, many times that it was way-finding, education, having an ambassador program, really focusing on improving projects in the downtown core and strengthening those community base connections.” The plan outlines programs and projects that would benefit the city and provides pathways toward their completion. “We’re looking for a safe, seamless, convenient bike and pedestrian network,” Fujimoto said. “One that enhances mobility and livability. Really, we’re trying to put in place the elements that will help us move forward with our implementation.” As it was only the presentation of the plan, no action was expected from the council, though members expressed great interest. “I can commit to you that this is not going to go on the shelf,” Winterstein said. “I will personally be taking a long look at these. I believe this is really just the beginning.” Learn more at http://bit. ly/1rOf56C.
Weekend Wanderer goes to Leavenworth’s Oktoberfest By David Hayes dahyes@isspress.com If you have a bucket list, THE place to celebrate Oktoberfest is, of course, the site of its origin, Munich, Germany, where a wedding feast was thrown in 1810 in the city’s outskirts to celebrate the union of Prince Ludwig I and Princess Therese from SaxonyHildburghausen. But if you can’t drop more than $2,000 to join more than 6 million of your friends for a 17-day celebration, might I suggest the next best thing a little closer to home — Leavenworth’s Oktoberfest.

have, as long as we’re able to relocate the lodge to a more viable area, it will be fine.” Crowder looks at the 90-day period as a sort of reset button. The reorganization committee will use the time to get its affairs in order before bringing a viable plan to the state Elks leadership, which will then decide whether to fully reinstate the charter. “I think of this as a new beginning,” he said. “If you were to start an organization that could benefit the community and it’s day one, what would you do and how would you do it differently?

Crowder said many factors contributed to the lodge’s decline. “I think the location of the lodge, the age of the lodge, didn’t help the situation,” he said. “I think with the assets that we

is an opportunity for us to do something that’s really good for the community.” Fry said it would just take some extra work on the lodge’s part to receive an unsuspended charter. “These are all very nice people, all good people,” he said. “They just need some work on their business plans and to get some more participation from their membership.”
More than 19,800 members belong to 39 Elks lodges in Washington. Nationally in 2012-13, the Elks gave more than $400 million in cash, in-kind donations and volunteer service. Local Elks lodges fulfill the Elks’ longstanding commitment to provide help for the disadvantaged and programs for veterans and youths in their communities.

noon to catch the kickoff parade. It’s a small procession that goes by quickly and is highlighted by the beer keg wagon that the mayor later taps at 1 p.m., another key event in Oktoberfest festivities. You can purchase tickets to Oktoberfest beforehand online or at the venue itself. However, these tickets only get you in through the gate. You’ll have to purchase additional tickets at $1 each to buy beer and food. To further complicate the matter, the vendors inside the festival pavilion only take cash or credit, not tickets. So, have both available. There are 18 beers to choose from, many of them authentic German brews. One of my few gripes is you have to purchase a full glass of brew. They don’t offer samplers — at $7 (or seven tickets) each, this can get expensive. The food selection inside the festival is rather lacking. The menu offers the basic bratwurst, Polish

kielbasa, German hot dog and some extras like pulled pork, barbecued ribs and turkey legs. If you want a full meal with your Oktoberfest experience, it’s best to visit one of Leavenworth’s many restaurants. There are four venues to rest your weary feet and listen to live music while finishing your brew and brat. The bands are all professional musicians flown in, in some cases from Germany and Canada, offering up toe-tapping polkas, as well as contemporary hits to get you up and dancing. Many festivalgoers decided to dress for the occasion — dirndl dresses for the gals and lederhosen with suspenders or Alpine hats for the guys. Just be aware, the “bar wench” look is an almost exclusive costume for the American festival. The authentic traditional dirndl falls below mid-calf. I’m not sure what I was expecting at my first Oktoberfest. I was surprised by how little there actually was to do. But beer, brats and bands apparently provide enough party entertainment for the entire family.

Last year, thieves broke into vendor booths overnight during Salmon Days, making off with merchandise that support people’s livelihoods. This past weekend, Issaquah police were being extra vigilant for that and caught some would-be thieves in the act, arresting them on the spot. You being vigilant can also help prevent crime. Police Chief Scott Behrbaum, who was appointed to the position in April, said the department’s officers want people to call when they see a suspicious vehicle in their neighborhood or someone loading up furniture from the house next door. Although many people have an “I-don’t-want-to-getinvolved” attitude, it’s often local residents themselves who help solve and prevent crimes. But what if it’s nothing, you ask? Behrbaum said officers would rather take the call and determine that themselves than to not be notified at all. Many times, after a crime has been committed (crimes like car break-ins, home burglaries and break-ins at businesses), people tell police they had seen some person or vehicle that seemed out of place, someone who was acting suspicious, something that just didn’t feel right. In this world of Internet connections (Facebook, Twitter and other ways that people communicate), people seem to “know” people from other countries whom they’ve never met, but they don’t seem to know people in their own neighborhoods. While there aren’t any official Neighborhood Block Watch groups in Issaquah, they can be easily started and the police are happy to help you help them, Behrbaum said. Call 8373200 to get started. When the Block Watch program began 20 years ago, residential crime dropped 40 percent in neighborhoods where there were Block Watch groups. Local police have been going to residents’ block parties and are trying to meet more residents so their presence is felt throughout the city. You can do your part, too. Bottom line, get involved when something is happening. Look out for one another. If you see something, say something.

Tourism should tread the boards I had several qualms about Roger Brooks’ tourism presentations to the good people of Issaquah. However, I completely agree with his basic advice that the city should choose one aspect and focus on that as the main draw to get outsiders to visit and spend their money. He left this up to residents and city leaders to decide what that main draw would be, advising it should be a year-round affair that would guarantee a unique and beneficial experience that would keep people coming back. In two remarkably similar presentations, Brooks said Issaquah tourism dollars could go to highlight the divergent trail system or maybe even the penchant for paragliding. I would like to offer my humble opinion and say Issaquah should prop up its fantastic theater culture as the focus for tourism. Here are three reasons for my opinion: First, theater as a part of Issaquah heritage already has a long, well-established history in the city. There’s no reason to build up something new when a lot of the infrastructure and draw exists. Though I don’t love everything Village Theatre puts on, the production value and the talent is consistently top notch. And it surprises me how much those who live outside Issaquah on the Eastside or in Seattle remain unaware that it ranks very high in national prestige. Additionally, it has done a fantastic job of spreading its exposure and presence in the city with KIDSTAGE and ongoing programs. Based on this foundation, why not form smaller communitytheater troops, companion festivals, city-sponsored playwriting competitions or larger musical performances?
Second, theater happens year round. An indoor play can’t really get rained out. Issaquah receives even more average yearly Peter rainfall than Clark Seattle, so Press reporter it probably makes sense to spend tourism dollars on a draw that doesn’t have to ebb and flow with the swirling of atmospheric whims. Though everyone loves outdoor affairs and plenty more could be planned, the bulk of tourist destination theater comfortably sits under a roof. Third, it can be really lucrative. Sure, you can get people to come out for the trails, but who says they will buy the equipment they need from the local REI or from the new downtown trail running store? Sure, paraglider pilots scurry to Poo Poo Point at the slightest hint of sun, but who says they will stay for a meal afterward? Theater invites a night out, where most who travel into town will surely grab a bite to eat and some will probably shop (if stores stay open a little longer). Additionally, rotating programs of new plays means more repeat visitors or opportunities to bring in new ones. The baseline is there to make Issaquah known as a regional location for consistent theater. I think the city-chamber of commerce partnership should investigate ways to spread that attraction to the surrounding region and even the state. We could be “Issaquah — Washington’s foremost destination for theater arts.” It’s got a nice ring to it.

Give generously to help cover Dave Reichert and Jason gap in education funding Richie — let them debate! With the calendar officially turned to fall, many of us are back into the daily comfort of our children’s school routine. There are morning buses to catch, lunches to pack, shoes to tie and backpacks to fasten. School is a tie that binds us, and our neighborhoods, together. School and its activities are like a quilt that we all wrap around ourselves. But without our local Issaquah Schools Foundation, this quilt would be tattered and threadbare. The Issaquah Schools Foundation has been powering our schools and our community for the past 28 years. Its mission is simple: drive the resources to help all our students achieve the promise of their academic potential, advance academic achievement, support struggling students and connect students to their futures. Why do we need the ISF? Don’t you pay enough in taxes to fund the schools? You have heard it before — as good as our district education system is here in Issaquah, Washington state is an anemic 43rd in education funding in our country. Of the 295 school districts in Washington, Issaquah is also a lowly 291st in funding … from our own state. We must build a bridge to cover this gap. And the bridge can’t be built without the help of everyone in our community. Now that fall is here and school is in session, Issaquah schools and students need you to help patch the holes in education funding, right here at home, right now. The All in for Kids Annual Fund Campaign is going on now through October, with two nights of mass phone calling Oct. 21 and 28. The goal is to raise $495,000 to fund our students, their futures, and our community schools today and for all those tomorrows. Help patch the quilt. Pick up the phone and give generously.

H ome C ountry Membership in the club was brief The Club didn’t last long. It wasn’t the dues, which were nothing. It wasn’t being worried about being elected recording secretary or something if you missed a meeting. There were no officers, no directors and no meetings. It was born of an idea that occurred to Doc one day. He said the members of the Mule Barn truck stop’s philosophy counter and world dilemma think tank should organize. After his third cup, Doc turned to the others and said that sitting there having coffee day after day without any real purpose just didn’t seem right. Doc said, “There are so many things a real organization can do.” “What would those things be,
Doc?” Steve asked. “Giving shoes to orphans,” Doc said. “Or curing hunger in Third World countries. Or we could Slim watch TV and Randles file complaints.” Then Dud piped up. “Would we have to wear funny hats and have a secret handshake and a password?” “Absolutely,” Doc said. “Otherwise, how would you know who was one of your brother club members and who wasn’t?” Mavis said, “What’s your secret password? Regular or decaf?” “I don’t think we should let women join,” Bert said. Nobody nodded until after Mavis had topped off the cups, and had gone into the bowels of

the kitchen. “OK,” Steve said. “Let’s get this straight. No meetings. No name for The Club, right? No officers. No dues to pay. All we have to do is give our shoes to some orphans, right?” “And feed kids in Third World countries.” “I don’t know any kids in Third World countries. Could we feed one or two around here, just to kinda e-e-e-ease into it?” “I don’t think so,” Doc said. “We gotta come up with a Third World country and then find out who’s in charge of feeding kids. Then, we can send them something.” “I move we adjourn this meeting,” Steve said. “There are no meetings,” Doc said. Since no one could name a Third World country without a map or listening to National Public Radio, The Club died a quiet death.

David enjoyed doing things with his hands, woodworking, fixing things, cooking and helping in the garden. His passion was in the great outdoors, including kayaking, bicycling, hiking, skiing and snowshoeing. It was a life well-lived and he was loved by many. He leaves behind a loving wife, Dagmar Kiwas.

Phyllis Mary Simonson Sorensen
to Africa. When the war ended, Phyllis and Wally moved to Nampa, Idaho, and later to Boise, Idaho. In 1990, Wally passed away and Phyllis moved to Issaquah to be close to her children. Phyllis will be remembered for the twinkle in her eye and her subtle sense of humor, which she kept until her final days. She was careful, yet unselfish with her money. Phyllis had an eye for style and took pleasure in keeping her home and wardrobe simple and beautiful. She enjoyed reading and was curious about people. Phyllis was not afraid to learn, expand her perspective and change her opinions, even in her later years. Phyllis was a great seamstress and she also loved to embroidery. Her meatloaf, potato salad, macaroni and cheese, coconut cream pie and playfully shaped pancakes will be greatly missed. Above all, Phyllis possessed grace and dignity. She was steady, honest,
loyal and strong in a way that seems almost oldfashioned these days, values of an era gone by. Upon hearing the news of her death, a friend said, “They don’t make ladies like that much anymore.� Phyllis lived a life of her creation and died at age 92 with much of her family near. Phyllis is survived by her three children, Judy Ford, Jerry Sorensen (Cathy Schalkle) and Kathy Jean Sorensen; two granddaughters, Kimberly Sorensen and Amanda
Ford (Joe McColskey); stepgrandson Jon Schalkle (Vanessa Schalkle); and four great-grandchildren, Amani Sorensen, Isaiah Jones, and Ashley and Evan Schalkle. Phyllis will be laid to rest at Cloverdale in Boise. Remembrances may be made to Eastside Baby Corner, P.O. Box 712, Issaquah, WA 98027 (or www.babycorner.org) or Idaho Youth Ranch, 5464 W.

March 10, 1922 Sept. 28, 2014 Phyllis’ youngest daughter once joked that she thought some of her own friends liked her Phyllis Sorenson mother more than they liked her. This speaks to Phyllis’ deepest nature. She was fun, generous and interested, which helped those around her feel welcome and at ease. People loved Phyllis for this. Phyllis was born March 10, 1922, in Enterprise, Oregon. When she was a young girl, her family moved to LaGrande, Oregon, where, at age 17, she met Wallace Sorensen. The two were married in 1942. Wally served as a P-38 pilot in the Army Air Corps, and Phyllis moved with him from base to base until he was deployed

PERFECT IN THE POOL Liberty swim team defeats Issaquah in historic win By Christina Corrales-Toy newcastle@isspress.com There is something special brewing in the waters of the Julius Boehm Pool, where the Liberty High School girls swim team practices and competes. The 2A school is turning heads across the league, defeating schools much larger, on the way to an undefeated meet record more than halfway through the season. Liberty defeated 4A schools Newport and Skyline; and on Oct. 2, the Patriots made history, defeating Issaquah for the first time ever. “We’re a 2A team this year and we beat 4A teams,” Liberty senior captain Mackenna Briggs said. “It’s something that we couldn’t have envisioned and now that we’re doing it, we’re all really, really proud.” Liberty captured 10 of 12 events against the Eagles, winning by a score of 104-82. Briggs and fellow captain Cecilia Nelson led the Patriots with two individual wins each. Briggs placed first in the 100 breast and 100 free, while Nelson took first in the 200-yard individual medley and the 500-yard freestyle. The Patriots’ Christina Sargent, Abby Russell and Lauryn Hepp also picked up individual wins. Sargent won the diving competition with 218.35 points; Russell, Liberty’s breakout freshman, captured the 100 butterfly in 1 minute, 4.65 seconds; and Hepp took the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:03.22. Liberty also swept the relay events. Hepp, Russell, Briggs and Nelson combined to win the 200 med-

Issaquah picked up wins in the 50-yard freestyle and the 200-yard freestyle, thanks to swimmers Jenifer Matsuda and Katie Maier. “My girls had a great time because they were improving today,” Issaquah coach Laura Halter said. “They knew it was good competition, so they enjoyed it and stepped up.” There were no hard feelings coming from the Eagles’ coach who said her friendship with Liberty coach Kris Daughters made the result more than bearable. “It’s a good feeling being part of something like this,” Halter said of Liberty’s historic win. “There isn’t anybody that deserves this more than Kris. She works really, really hard. She’s just a fabulous coach. I’m really, really pleased

and happy for her and her girls.” Daughters said it has never really mattered who won the Issaquah/Liberty matchup, since the teams and coaches share a very friendly rivalry. After 18 years of coaching the Patriots, though, Daughters said it was nice to win one over the Eagles. Liberty athletes have some of the state’s top swim times, regardless of classification, led by Briggs, one of the state’s top swim recruits. Briggs announced over the weekend that she will swim at the University of San Diego next year. “She’s way faster than just about any swimmer around,” Daughters said of Briggs. “There aren’t many swimmers in Washington state that can beat her.” The Patriots have some solid depth this year. Daughters pointed to the emergence of sophomore Sydney Hartford and freshman Abby Russell as key reasons why. Briggs also added that the team is swimming with a lot of confidence, buoyed by their big wins. “It’s really nice seeing the girls get out of the pool with smiles on their faces, as they accomplish goals that they didn’t think they could get,” Briggs said. Everyone in the Liberty program senses that this season is special, Daughters said. The team is closer than ever, she noted, and poised to make some noise at the 2A state championships. “I don’t know if we’ve got a shot at the state championship,” Daughters said, “but I know that we’ll be one of the top five or six there.”

When you’re clearly more talented than your opponent, it’s often difficult for a tennis player to stay mentally sharp. It’s a phenomenon Skyline High School junior Nikita Moroz experienced in his match with Mount Si’s Matthew Griffin. Moroz was belting serves and cross-court forehands, and his opponent was struggling to get the ball back over the net. Moroz didn’t get complacent, and he finished off a 6-0, 6-0 triumph in the No. 1 singles slot to lead Skyline past visiting Mount Si, 7-0, in a Class 4A KingCo Conference boys tennis match Oct. 1. “Sometimes you sort of drift off, and you don’t really feel like you’re in the match,” Moroz said of winning easily. “You feel like, ‘Oh, I already got this,’ and you start to slip away, and then you get nervous, and it gets even worse,” he said. “But I think I did a good job of keeping up the pressure.” Moroz has been playing the sport competitively for about six years, and takes lessons at the Bellevue Tennis Academy that have him aiming high in the 2014-15 high-school season. He advanced to the KingCo tournament as a sophomore, but wants to go beyond that and qualify for next May’s state championships. “Our league seems a little bit weaker this year, so I feel like I’ve got a good shot of making it to state,” Moroz said. Skyline coach Bettina Gehle said she was impressed with Moroz’s ability to stay focused even though he largely overwhelmed his Mount Si foe. “Maybe last year it would have looked a little bit different, that he would’ve given more points up, or more games,” Gehle said. “But he is now a solid player and has lots of experience,

Nikita Moroz, Skyline High School junior, lines up another winning shot en route to a 6-0, 6-0 win over Mount Si’s Matthew Griffin. which is fun to see.” Skyline is looking to compete for the conference’s regular-season and tournament titles, and Moroz thinks the Spartans have enough talent to do it. “I really like this team this year,” he said. “We seem to be a lot more even.” “That is true, absolutely,” Gehle added. “We have more depth. That is what makes us a little bit stronger than last year or the years before.” Against Mount Si, the Spartans’ singles players were barely challenged in reeling off four victories. No. 2 player Ishaan Bhimani was a 6-0, 6-1 winner over John Day. No. 3 player Ankit Madhira defeated Ryan Cantalini (6-2, 6-2), and No. 4 player Geoffrey Yang easily dispatched Jacob Holmes (6-0, 6-0). The three doubles matches were nearly as lopsided. Skyline’s top pairing, Justin Zhang and Parker Matias, handed a 6-0, 6-0 defeat to Mount Si’s George Corriveau and Jonah Kingery. Zhang and Matias are just getting started together, and while they’re talented individuals, Gehle said, their success this season hinges upon developing chemistry. She’s trying to soften expectations because of that. “Justin came in as senior, first time trying out,” she said. “He was always a good tennis player, but
he tried out for golf, and he decided this year to try out for tennis. “Parker is a very solid player — usually a singles player — but we mixed it up and because he’s a lefty, it’s actually an interesting double,” she added. “We know that we will face really, really strong opponents against Newport in doubles. That will be interesting, how they play together, because they haven’t played.” At No. 2 doubles, Skyline’s Mitchell Hansen and Alex Lok were 6-2, 6-2 winners against Sherwin Nelson and Royce Schwartzenberger. Freshmen Shawn Stanley and David Liew paired up for the No. 3 doubles match, and they earned a 6-3, 6-3 decision over Vince DiDomenico and Dan Tomson. The top-two singles and top-two doubles teams from the KingCo tournament advance to state, and Skyline is hoping to qualify multiple players. The early-season results are encouraging for Gehle, although upcoming matches against Newport and Woodinville will be more telling. Skyline notched a 5-2 win against rival Eastlake on Sept. 22. “That was a big win,” Gehle said. “We had all three-setters that we won against them, so it was actually closer than the results were.”
that was one of the best in the KingCo 2A/3A Conference. Liberty’s new coach played collegiate basketball at Portland State University and Seattle University. She also has experience coaching at Seattle University and Bellevue College. Terry spent just one year
at Liberty, but made his presence felt throughout the league, with marquee wins over ranked opponents. He won the conference’s Coach of the Year Award for his quick turnaround of the Patriots’ program. Terry left to take a position as a graduate assistant at his alma mater, UNLV.

KING COUNTY FIRE DISTRICT 10 ANNUAL REVENUE HEARING
Pursuant to the provisions of Issaquah Ordinance No. 1633 and the State Environmental Policy Act, Chapters 43.21[c] RCW and WAC 197-11510, notice is hereby given that the City of Issaquah issued a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) on October 8, 2014 for a City proposal to replace the NW Dogwood Street bridge over Issaquah Creek. The existing one-lane bridge is structurally deficient. The new bridge includes 2 traffic lanes and sidewalks. The new bridge would increase flood conveyance capacity by increasing the bridge length and elevating the bridge profile over Issaquah Creek 5 feet higher than the existing bridge. No new structures would be installed below the ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Issaquah Creek, existing concrete piles below the OHWM would be removed. Utilities would be relocated and attached underneath the new bridge. The project would result in approximately 4,200 square feet of new impervious surface. Mitigation for project impacts would enhance 7,966 square feet of riparian habitat along Issaquah Creek. The project site is on NW Dogwood St; east of Newport Way NW and west of Rainier Blvd N and Front St N. Permit number: SHO14-00009 After review of a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the agency, the City of Issaquah has determined this proposal would not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. This DNS is issued under WAC 19711-340(2). The lead agency will not act on this proposal for 14 days. Anyone wishing to comment may submit written comments between October 8, 2014 and October 22, 2014 and the Responsible Official will reconsider the DNS based on timely comments. Any person aggrieved by this determination may appeal by filing a Notice of Appeal with the City of Issaquah Permit Center between October 8, 2014 and October 22, 2014. Appellants should prepare specific factual objections. Copies of the environmental determination and other project application materials are available from the Issaquah Planning Department, 1775 12th Avenue NW.
The Board of Commissioners of King County Fire Protection District 10 wishes to inform the public that the annual District 10 Revenue Hearing will be held at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, October 15, 2014, in the Classroom at the EF&R Headquarters facility located at 175 Newport Way NW, Issaquah, WA.
