Group seeks landmark status for Providence Heights College BY LIZZ GIORDANO lgiordano@sammamishreview.com

The stunning stained-glass windows that adorn the chapel at Providence Heights College might be preserved for another generation to admire if the King County Landmarks Commission approves an application nominating the

site for landmark status. The Sammamish Heritage Society began work on the application last year after a developer announced plans for the site, which the group said is profoundly important to the Catholic religion. The society is expected to file the application with King County this week. “We needed to step in,” said

Eirlys Vanderhoff, a member of the society. “Or (the Providence Heights campus) would have been torn down and demolished and all these new houses would go up.” Vanderhoff said even though the site is located in Issaquah, Sammamish residents see the former college as part of their city.

“It’s important to the community,” Vanderhoff said. Located at 4221 228th Ave. SE, Providence Heights College was opened by the Sisters of Providence in 1961 to promote education for religious sisters. It was one of only two in the nation at the time, according SEE LANDMARK, PAGE 8

Student teams ready their robots for next level of competition BY STUART MILLER

smiller@sammamishreview.com

Two teams of Eastside Catholic High School students were among hundreds of teenage competitors taking part in a series of robot cage matches Dec. 10. Inside the Mount Si Freshman Campus in Snoqualmie, the commons area was dotted with tables for each of the Turing League teams competing in the night’s event. To the beat of blaring electronic music, pit crews surrounded their robots, making adjustments and repairs between matches while others scurried around the room — heading to the main pen, where the action was, or perhaps scouting the abilities of other teams. While the cage wasn’t an intimidating chain-link octagon, the crowd surrounding it brought a level of enthusiasm similar to an MMA event. Four robots were stuck in the 12-by-12, foam-floored square with glass walls standing a foot high. The machines would not be trying to destroy each other BattleBots style (as many

students would prefer), instead attempting to score points with a series of tasks varying in difficulty. FIRST Washington, a group that promotes student interest in science and technology, runs the First Tech Challenge, which includes the Turing League. This year’s competitive focus is “vortex velocity,” a physicsbased theme. Challenges, based on a central theme, change every year. Living in the land of Microsoft Eastside Catholic is among many area schools that have seen an increased interest in robotics in recent years. The robotics club team that started five years ago with eight students expanded to two teams last year. Eastside Catholic currently fields a varsity team, called ECPO, and a rookie team, called E2C2, that together consistently bring 20 to 25 students out, team coach Danielle Maletta said. A recent push in state STEM curriculum has helped spur more focus on science, techSEE ROBOTS, PAGE 6

Triple XXX car shows fueled by nostalgia BY DAVID HAYES dhayes@sammamishreview.com

As the owner of Triple XXX Root Beer Drive-In, Jose Enciso has been inseparably intertwined with cars and the food business for more than 40 years. As Enciso unveiled the Triple XXX’s 2017 schedule of events, he reminisced about how two Jose Enciso of the biggest loves of his life came to be linked at one popular drive-in, putting Issaquah on the national road map of go-to venues for car shows. In 1967, Enciso said he had a mom-and-pop grocery store in Riverside, Calif. “This hippie always came down from the college with this 1929 Model A pickup truck,” Enciso said. “He’d always have some of these tamales I sold from a crockpot on the counter. I started asking if he would sell his truck.” The answer was always no — until the day Enciso’s little sister visited from Santa Maria, Calif. They started talking, hit it off and the hippie eventually asked her out. She sought permission from her big brother first. “I tell her no, at first, to dating a hippie. Then ‘Ding!’ It hit me,” Enciso said. “You tell him he can take you out if he sells me his pickup.” The hippie agreed. Enciso

City Council unveils list of 2017-18 non-profit grants BY LIZZ GIORDANO

lgiordano@sammamishreview.com

Two human services groups that were shut out when the City of Issaquah distributed grant funding for 2017 received money from a different municipal government when the Sammamish City Council approved nonprofit funding for the 2017-18 budget cycle. Athletes For Kids received $10,000 and Life Enrichment Options received $3,000 from the City of Sammamish as part of a $249,000 grant package for Eastside nonprofits. Both groups saw their requests for funding denied by Issaquah’s Human Services Commission. Sammamish’s Human

The two groups that were not awarded funding were Birthday Dreams and Old Friends Club. According to a Dec. 27 press release announcing the grants, “The City of Sammamish is committed to providing funding support to local nonprofit organizations to help ensure that Sammamish residents can access assistance they may need to survive and thrive. This may include help with food, shelter, utility bills, medical or dental care, legal issues, counseling, employment and afford-

DRIVE-IN CAR SHOW SCHEDULE

SCOTT STODDARD | sstoddard@sammamishreview.com

Jeeps are lined up during the Triple XXX Rootbeer Drive-in’s All Jeep car show April 3.

he would host their monthly meetings. “He’s the only one around who has a drivein that caters to the car community,” said Worley, who is now the club’s president. “He’s just a really genuine guy.” That first show became the Tri-5, because the club’s membership is made up of owners of Chevys from 1955, ’56 and ’57. “We now have the largest one-day Tri-5 in the U.S.,” Worley said, adding most venues elsewhere spread their shows over two or three days. “Car shows are just great for bringing back memories,” Worley said. “You have a classic car because your dad had one, or your neighbor had one. Plus, it’s a great hobby, there’s great people and it’s a fun way to get together.” Including the Tri-5, Enciso said the Triple XXX now hosts five of the biggest car shows in the country. “Who would have thought?” he asked.

“Issaquah! You’ve got L.A., Arizona, California. But it’s Issaquah with the biggest.” The biggest include the Northwest Muscle Show, the Camaro show, Fenders on Front Street and the electric vehicles, which actually meet twice a year. “Never thought the electric car show would turn out the way it did,” he said. “They’re new. But Sunday morning rolls around and we have to keep looking out because they don’t make any noise. Look out, there’s a bunch here. Then look out again, and another bunch over there. Hot rods drive by, go ‘Vroom! Vroom!’ Electric car shows are the most silent car show we’ve ever had.” The Triple XXX’s schedule has no open weekends left. And it’s not just for cars anymore. Enciso said the Vintage Travel Trailer show, which started with just the ladies, has grown in popularity. The guys have since crashed the party with their trailers. And then there’s

the two-wheelers. The Thundering Angels motorcycle club, headed by Issaquah’s David Harris, has scheduled its seventh annual Burgers, Bikes and Babes show July 9. Harris said the Triple XXX has proven to be an ideal location for their rally for myriad reasons. “It’s very well-known in the area, it’s convenient to get to, they use up the whole parking lot and they serve up great hamburgers,” Harris said. “There are very, very few motorcycle events in the whole area that aren’t at a dealership. That’s an attraction for bike riders. We are just so lucky Jose had a date open up and we were somehow able to snag it.” In fact, there haven’t been any new entries to the schedule for several years. The All Jeep Show, now in its fifth year, is the newest. Enciso said once you get into the schedule, don’t make the mistake of not staying there. “One group I told not to leave the schedule was the

offered him $175 and he took it. Of course, that left the hippie with no car to take Enciso’s sister out on the date. So he rented his 1963 Riviera to him for another $175. When Enciso moved north to Oregon and eventually Issaquah, he transitioned beyond owning classic vehicles and started collecting them — cars, pickups, tractors, farm equipment, vans, buses and on and on, including a horse-drawn hearse from the 1800s. Now in his 18th year owning the Triple XXX, his collection was nearing 200 vehicles. That ended Dec. 3, however, when he sold the entire lot at auction. “They were deteriorating. I never drove them, I was here (at the Triple XXX) all the time,” Enciso said. All that remains from his collection is that 1929 Model A pickup he bought from the hippie. He gave the cherished truck to his dad. “That collection was a piece of my heart,” Enciso said. “But I’m happy all those vehicles can bring joy to so many other people.” Enciso has been bringing that joyful spirit to classic vehicle lovers at the Triple XXX for nearly two decades. When he took over the drive-in, it had exactly one car show a year. That changed when Bud Worley and the Northwest Classic Chevy Club asked Enciso if

OPINION

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

On Further Review

Her good deed should inspire us all to help those in need

opping up around Issaquah, tacked to trees, are plastic bags with scarves or gloves stuffed inside. A note accompanying a winter garment posted to a tree near Issaquah City Hall reads: ”I’m not lost — take this scarf if you are cold, if you are in need.” The donor had just one request: “All we ask is you pay this good deed forward one day if you see someone in need.” Another bag, with a slightly different note, urged passersby to take the gloves inside the bag if needed. After a bit of Facebook sleuthing, our digital editor found one of the anonymous good Samaritans: Nicolle Georgell, a bubbly 24-year-old studying medicine. The idea to scatter winter garments around town first came to Georgell

one morning while getting dressed, when she realized there were way too many unworn Lizz Giordano scarves in her wardrobe. Later that day, after seeing a young kid sleeping outdoors in downtown Issaquah on a chilly night, she made her plans. “I loaded up my backpack and grabbed my staple gun,” Georgell said. She spent one Friday night in December walking the Rainier Trail spreading warmth around town by stapling bags of gloves, scarves and hats to trees. Soon after, she headed to the Highlands to continue her mission. Since the beginning of December she has given away roughly 25

bags of winter garments she has collected from her own closet, neighbors and family members. “It doesn’t matter who you are,” Georgell said. “Everyone deserves to be warm and have food and shelter. There are people right in our own community that need help.” Georgell’s acts of kindness inspired another community member, 11-year-old Ruby Blackburn, who also began tacking up bags of winter garments to trees around town. “I feel bad when people aren’t fortunate enough to have a nice pair of warm gloves in the winter, and I wanted to help them,” Blackburn said. “I am very excited that other people did this before me, because that means that a lot of people think about others and how to help them.”

Here’s to a successful first year for our updated website BY CHRISTINA CORRALES-TOY

t’s been about a year since the Sammamish Review transitioned to our new online platform. We said goodbye to a website that was old, slow and hard to use, and upgraded to a sleek, new, mobile-friendly sammamishreview.com. It’s allowed our staff to better showcase the stories that matter to you, whether it’s in the form of articles, photo galleries or videos. We were able to do things that simply weren’t possible on our previous site. For example, we introduced a new restau-

rant inspections database that is consistently one of the most viewed things on our site. Christina Corrales-Toy Photo galleries are now much easier to navigate, and even easier to upload, allowing us to capture and share more memorable scenes from the place you call home.

2016 Eastlake High School commencement ceremony rounded out the top five. Development and growth were common themes among our most-read stories of the year. Here are a few of the highlights: — Scott Stoddard’s work about the midcentury Providence Heights chapel shows up a few times in the most read, including the initial report that the chapel would be demolished and replaced with homes, to the latest development that saw the Issaquah School District approve using eminent domain to acquire it.

reminder for us to not forget those in need once the holidays are over. Days will continue to get colder and wetter as winter progresses, and many residents of Issaquah and Sammamish are still living outdoors, in tents and in cars. What was once an almost-full dinner schedule for Tent City 4, where tents are pitched just a few miles outside of town near the High Point exit on Interstate 90, is now barren and empty. So far, only two groups have volunteered to bring a hot dinner in January. If you don’t have time to make dinner for a large group, how about offering to wash a few loads of laundry for fellow citizens? Currently each camper needs four blankets to stay warm, dry and safe. They also need food and cash donations, rides into town and — most importantly — a new host site. The Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank still

has clients to serve, so consider picking up a bit extra on your next shopping trip. Their website lists the items they currently need, and if you’re feeling lazy, there’s good news: Food banks are efficient shoppers. If you give them money directly, they’ll be able to buy exactly what they need, at bulk prices. If you’ve got any unwanted Christmas toys sitting around the house, you can make the toys happy by giving them to the Eastside Baby Corner. They love infant toys, clothes and diapers — a full list can be found online. And just like with the Food Bank, they’re efficient at spending financial donations. The next school break is just around the corner and the free-meal program Lunch for the Break has another 400 boxes of food to fill to ensure no student goes hungry over the February break. They ask that donors follow a shopping list as they prepare for the next donation drop-off, which is February 15.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 2017 Or consider donating to Issaquah Community Services, which is currently only two-thirds of the way to its goal of collecting $100,000. The organization provides emergency aid to residents of the Issaquah School District. Over the years, hundreds of families — all of them local — have benefited from the group’s services, which includes rent assistance, utility payments and bus tickets. The holidays are a time for reflection and for charity, but there’s no reason to put those feelings back in the box with the ugly sweaters and eggnog once the New Year begins.

nology, engineering and math in area schools. Maletta, who also teaches math and robotics at Eastside Catholic, said the computer science program at the school has grown significantly over the last several years. Sammamish’s propensity for housing tech employees has also had a noticeable effect. “We live in the land of Microsoft,” Maletta said. “There are a huge number of engineers, software folks.” The collective student body got fired up about the robotics teams at an assembly during the last school year, senior robotics captain Caroline Sonnen said, when students went crazy cheering on the team’s robot as it attempted to do a pull up — one of last year’s match challenges. The match Each of the teams at the Dec. 10 event, from various schools scattered from Bellevue to Maple Valley to Duvall, competed in five matches that night. It was the second of three regularseason competitions. Matches feature four randomly selected teams. The four teams separate into pairs of “allied” teams, which then compete against the other alliance. From the roughly 15-person roster, each individual team has two driver/operators, a coach and a robot in any given match. Teams are shuffled as the competition progresses.

The two-and-a-half minute match starts off with a 30-second “autonomous” period. Robots will use only their prematch programming to move from the starting position against the wall and try to score points. Knocking a large exercise ball, called a “cap ball,” off its stand onto the floor, scores five points. Shooting a large whiffle ball called a “particle ball” into a “vortex” will score points. Scoring in the center vortex, a basket-like structure raised a few feet off the ground, earns 15 points. Particle balls shot through corner vortexes, small ramps with openings at the top, can earn five points each. Robots can also score by nudging one of the four “beacons” around the cage walls, turning it blue or red for their respective alliance. In this capture-the-flag style challenge, the beacon’s color at the end of the match will determine who is awarded points. A robot autonomously parked in speci-

fied locations at the end of the 30 seconds can earn even more points. After 30 seconds, the twominute driver-controlled period begins. Two teammates operate video game controllers programmed to control their robots. One teammate will move the robot around the floor while another operates whatever mechanisms they’ve built into it. Similar scoring applies during driver-control, but the points are less valuable than during autonomous-control. The final 30 seconds of the match are called the “end game.” During this time, robots may try to lift the exercise ball off the ground to score points. Ending the game with the ball off the floor scores 10 points, lifting it 40 centimeters high earns 20 points, and placing the ball into the center vortex basket earns 40 points. Maneuvering the exercise ball is considered the trickiest part of the competition.

That ultimate task, capping the center vortex, is what team ECPO is focused on for the next competition Jan. 14. They are tinkering with a mechanism that uses string woven through interlocked, sliding bars to creating tension and lift mechanical arms, ideally with a ball in them, several feet off the ground. It has been a work in progress all season. “They’re big on the yoga ball, but that’s all they do,” Maletta said. E2C2 is focused on consistently scoring lower value points, like lighting the beacons. They’re working on improving their autonomous stage capabilities for the January competition, Maletta said. Scoring tasks may seem simple to the untrained eye, but the amount of engineering and programming it takes to solve each challenge spurs a variety of unique designs from each team. The one-of-a-kind robots also require custom fixes to mechanics and programming between matches, like after ECPO blew its fuses mid-match Dec. 10. The league The Turing League in which Eastside Catholic competes is only one of many throughout the state. About 11,000 kids participate with more than 1,000 robotics teams throughout Washington, said Erin McCallum, president of FIRST Washington. FIRST Washington is the largest afterschool STEM program in state, McCallum said. Its goal is to promote interest

in science and technology. The robot competition helps get kids interested in the subjects. “The robot is a shiny object that gets them excited and motivated, but teams learn so much more,” McCallum said. “Robot performance is a very small portion of the overall program.” Each team of up to 15 kids has a project leader, who is like the captain of the team. Below that, there are department heads for each category of work. A business coordinator tries to garner community sponsorships, reaches out to other organizations and takes care of the financial aspect of the project. The programming lead takes charge of the Java code written for Android operating systems. The design lead and the engineeringbuilding lead get the physical robot body and mechanisms built. “It’s really like what you’d do in a real world environment,” Maletta said. The skills involved with running a competitive robotics team are the same skills that employers around our region are looking for, McCallum said. Eastside Catholic robotics mentor Brian Soderberg, who’s spent his career in mechanical and software engineering fields, said that the teams function like a company team would. As they work to improve their robots, teams ECPO and E2C2 are looking forward to the Jan. 14 interleague competition as a door to the state championships, and maybe beyond.

Lady Wolves blast Cascade Classic tournament foes

The second half was played with a running clock as Eastlake had a 30-point lead. Reserve players like Duzenack, Madison Lester and McKenzie Feinglas got a lot of minutes that could make them more valuable down the road. “Great hustle, great defense – they’re going to be a great help to us in that regard,” Edward said their contributions. Nine Eastlake players scored and starting point guard Gina Marxen

wasn’t overly taxed. She finished with five points and got plenty of rest as Keck and Elizabeth Chen ran the point for stretches. The Lady Wolves showed they can beat opponents in multiple ways as they ran the floor effectively and continued implementing new plays for Burton, their burgeoning freshman star. “Since we have that inside-out game, it’s good because if people are out on the shooters then she’s going to be wide open and vice versa,” Edward said. “That’s going to be a really nice tool for us this year.” Keck, who’s in her third year of varsity action, has become an all-around better player and credits Marxen and Edward, the team captains, for pushing her. Her shot-blocking and midrange shooting skills were on display against Dorsey. “I think our team chemistry has really helped me,” Keck said. “I know Gina and Cameron always work hard. They’re always in the gym and I think they’ve inspired me to go to the gym and really work on my game.”

The team figures to get tested when it returns to Class 4A KingCo Conference play after the start of the new year. Woodinville (8-1), which reached the championship game of the Nike Tournament of Champions in Phoenix, visited Sammamish on Jan. 4 after press time. Eastlake visits defending KingCo champion Bothell (7-1) on Jan. 11 and will look to avenge a Dec. 12 loss to the Cougars in which the Wolves let a final-minute lead slip away. To get past those teams, the players are trying to be more cerebral. “I think it has just motivated us a ton to really think about the game from different perspectives,” Keck said. “Take the time to think about how certain plays work, and where we have advantages and disadvantages.” Eastlake went on to capture the Cascade Classic title on Dec. 30 with a 74-62 win over Skyline. The plateau rivals are scheduled to meet twice in conference play in the next month – Jan. 13 at Eastlake and Feb. 3 at Skyline.

productive when she came off the bench, scoring 12 points and willingly doing the dirty work under the basket. “I thought together, as a team, we played pretty well,” Streamer said, “which helped me kind of build the team up as well. I fed off the team’s energy.” “Holly has a lot of potential,” Loville added. “She’s the one in practice running full speed. After all of the down-and-backs we do, she’s still pushing … She did what she does in practices – just working hard and all that.” After Brittania took an early lead, Skyline responded with an 18-0 run keyed by Julia Mitchell and Kailey Kassuba. Kassuba and Loville shared game-high honors

with 14 points and Mitchell had 13. Reserve guard Annie Taylor added eight points as Skyline had a 24-1 edge in bench points. The Bruins’ defense stiffened in the second quarter as they reduced Skyline’s transition opportunities and contested nearly every shot in half-court sets. Lucy Guan, who had four 3-pointers and a team-high 12 points for the Bruins, hit a pair of shots from beyond the arc to draw her team within 14 at the break. Skyline scored the first seven points of the third quarter, though, and began running the floor relentlessly. Loville hit Taylor with a long pass for a layup and Streamer swished a 10-foot jumper off a Mitchell assist, ballooning the lead to 31.

“I think when we move the ball really well on offense, we get some good looks, so that’s what worked today,” Streamer said. Loville wants her team to keep doing what it did against Brittania – jumpstart the offense through strong defense and, specifically, full-court pressure. “That sparks something with us,” she said. “Once we get steals, we’re going and we get hyped. We’re energized. It puts a lot more energy in us when we’re pressing.” Skyline finished second at the Cascade Classic after a 74-62 loss to Eastlake in the Dec. 30 championship game. The plateau rivals are scheduled to meet twice in conference play in the next month – Jan. 13 at Eastlake and Feb. 3 at Skyline.

Coach Sara Goldie passes century mark for career victories BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com

Sara Goldie’s 100th career win as Eastlake’s girls basketball coach came in dominating fashion Dec. 28 as the Lady Wolves whipped Heritage Woods (B.C.), 59-17. Win No. 101 a day later was just as one-sided. Eastlake got 20 points from freshman center Keeli Burton, 16 from junior guard Cameron Edward and suffocated the Dorsey (Calif.) Donnas, 70-22, during the third round of the Cascade Classic tournament at Eastlake. The Lady Wolves, who improved to 7-2 with the win over Dorsey, are aiming for big things again in Goldie’s seventh season. She has led the program to the regional round of 16 and the state quarterfinals. Taking another step forward is within reach for this year’s group. Junior forward Stacie Keck, who scored eight points and swatted away

multiple shots against Dorsey, said it was a little strange to celebrate her coach’s milestone. “I feel like she hasn’t been coaching that long and 100 wins is huge,” Keck said. “But I remember watching her when I was in middle school, and I always aspired to just be on that team and coached by her, because she’s such an inspiring person, such a great coach, great mentor. “Seeing her getting her 100th win is just

awesome to see because she has worked so hard and she invests so much time.” The Lady Wolves had no trouble winning their fifth straight game on Dec. 29 as they jumped to a 9-0 lead on three Burton baskets. Edward hit a pair of 3-pointers in the first quarter, stretching the lead to 24-5, and scored 14 of her 16 before halftime, including a buzzerbeating putback of Jordan Duzenack’s miss.

Skyline shakes off morning doldrums for blowout win BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com

Playing at 9 a.m. is not the typical schedule for high-school basketball teams and the Skyline Spartans looked a little sleepy in the first few minutes of their Dec. 28 game. Facing Brittania (B.C.) in their opening game of the Cascade Classic tournament at Skyline, the Spartans didn’t get back on defense quickly enough, gave up a couple layups and trailed 6-2 when coach Stacie Erfle called a timeout. Skyline’s response was exactly what Erfle was looking for. The Spartans

proceeded to close the first quarter on a 26-1 run and coasted to a 71-33 victory over the Bruins. “I think once we got a reminder that, ‘Oh, we’re here playing the game that we love,’ that we could pick it up and play well,” Skyline sophomore guard Holly Streamer said. Junior guard Jade Loville, who returned to action for the first time since an ankle injury sustained in a Dec. 14 game against Woodinville, felt it took even longer for the Spartans to hit their stride. They went to halftime with a 36-22 lead – comfortable but not insurmountable.

“It took us a while, but at halftime, I think it clicked in our minds that we needed to really push or we might not win the game,” Loville said. “That’s when we kind of woke up and started playing as a team.” Having Loville back was a boon for the Spartans (6-3 overall), who were missing senior forward Gina Grossi and sophomore guard Ashley Lin. Three junior varsity players – Mel Duenez, Rachel Moore and Natalie Triche – supplied the depth for a squad that often dresses only nine. Streamer, a first-year varsity player, was highly

to the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation. “Although accredited Catholic colleges for women had long been established throughout the United States, no four-year baccalaureate program was dedicated solely to the professional and spiritual education of women,” according to a draft of the landmark nomination application. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation calls the entire campus, especially the chapel, “an irreplaceable modern masterpiece designed by regionally renowned architect John Maloney and world-renowned stained glass artist Gabriel Loire.”

“Those windows are spectacular,” Vanderhoff said. “I don’t want to lose them.” The Sammamish Heritage Society, working with preservation consultants, uncovered a 1960 Providence Heights progress report that described the chapel as: “Simplicity of line, intensity of color, beauty in symbolism, and integrity of craftsmanship combine the somber dignity of walnut paneling with the richness of brass and marble to create an atmosphere of prayer, peace and inspiration for the spiritual growth of the young sisters who will call Providence Heights College their home.” The college closed just 13 years after opening in 1974 and was sold to the Lutheran Bible Institute of Seattle.

is owned by Kirklandbased The City Church. In January 2016, The Issaquah Press reported that a developer planned to demolish the entire campus to construct single-family residences. However, the Issaquah School District stepped in and is in the process of employing eminent domain to acquire the property. That process is ongoing, and an LLC governed by City Church officials is still listed as the owner of the campus property. The school district has said it wants to build a high school and an elementary school on the site. In April 2016, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation named the Providence Heights Campus — including its centerpiece chapel — as one of the state’s seven most-endangered properties. To become designated as a King County landmark, the site or area has to be more than 40 years old and be associated with events or persons significant in local, state

or national history. According to Todd Scott, a preservation architect for the county, a landmark designation doesn’t restrict property owners from making improvements or changes to the site. When the ninemember Landmarks Commission approves a landmark for historic designation, features of significance are determined and any changes to these features require staff or commission approval, Scott said. “The commission has no problem modernizing buildings, or making buildings more energy efficient,” Scott said. “The county has no interest in a bunch of empty buildings or house museums. It’s about getting as much use out of these old buildings as we can.” Julie Koler, a historic preservation consultant working with the Sammamish Heritage Society and a former King County historic preservation officer, said one of the biggest misconceptions about landmarks is that they can’t be

50 years from now, that will be long forgotten. Students, parents, visitors to the site in 2057 can appreciate a sanctuary that represents the turbulent, progressive and lifechanging period of the 1960s,” Koler said. “A time that altered our nation irrevocably and shook the Catholic Church to its core.” “The Heritage Society would like to see what’s there now creatively reused,” Vanderhoff said, “and not just throw everything away.” Scott said there are many examples in the area of historic buildings repurposed and now in use once again. He pointed to a 1914 designated historic landmark school in Shoreline that was incorporated into a larger school campus. Scott anticipates the Landmarks Commission will review the application and hold a public hearing during its February meeting. “It looks like a really fascinating and important building,” Scott said. “It would be great if someone could adaptively reuse it.”

altered. “The commission realizes that if buildings are not useable, their lifespan will be short,” Koler wrote in an email. “In fact, the primary role of the Landmarks Commission — outside of designating landmarks — is to work with property owners to facilitate appropriate changes to these buildings and structures when they need to be made to accommodate ongoing use. “Providence Heights represents a significant opportunity for the Issaquah School District to think and act outside the box with regard to its plans for Providence Heights College,” Koler said. “It’s all too common — particularly in this part of our country — to demolish historic properties without any thoughtful consideration of how they could be adapted to a new use that still preserves and interprets their essential character or story.” That consideration could cost the district more money and delay the timeline of the project. “But in the long run,
