Decision due soon on East Lake Sammamish Trail permit appeal By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@ sammamishreview.com A decision is expected by Feb. 11 regarding King County’s appeal of the conditional development permit handed out by the city for the southern portion of the East Lake Sammamish Trail. The city and the county have been at odds over the trail design for at least a year. In July, the county appealed the city’s conditional development permit saying some of the conditions placed on the county were “onerous and burdensome.” The two sides came together for three days of testimony in mid-December in front of city hearing examiner John Galt. No decision was reached and Galt ordered county and city officials to try and resolve their differences before the hearing continued on Jan. 28. The two sides did get together on Jan. 14, said Doug Williams, media relations coordinator for the county. He added that county and Sammamish officials reached agreement on how to implement four of the city’s conditions. One big issue was the city’s call for narrowing about 550
feet of the trail, a change the city said would save 63 significant trees. The county agreed to narrow its clearing limits rather than narrowing the trail, Williams said, saving the trees Sammamish hoped to save. The county also reached a negotiated settlement with an adjacent property owner regarding drainage requirements. Finally, the county and Sammamish came together on a requirement that the city respond within 24 hours on tree-removal permits. There are at least four other issues on which the two sides still do not see eye-to-eye, Williams said. The city offered few details on their response to the county’s claims. Some other city conditions include a call to redesign or move a stormwater-retention vault to reduce impact on nearby residents. The city intended to supply county officials with its response to the Jan. 14 meeting by Jan. 21, according to Tim Larson, city communication manager. Both the county and the city have the right to carry an appeal into a King County courtroom if they aren’t satisfied with the hearing examiner’s decision.
Council moves to annex Mystic Lake property By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@ sammamishreview.com If all goes as expected, the City of Sammamish will grow by an additional 45 acres March 23. By annexing what is known as the Mystic Lake property, or
the 224th Avenue Northeast annexation zone, the city also will be welcoming 115 yet-tobe-built households into the fold. The city is using the “island” method of annexation as allowed by state law See MYSTIC, Page 3

Two Sammamish Girl Scouts helped their robotics team, Blue Angels, win the programming award at the Western Washington FIRST Lego League Championship, a robotics competition for middle- and elementary-school students, Jan. 30-31. The FLL presents this award to the team that understands outstanding program principles and whose robot demonstrates programming mastery. Inglewood Middle School students Emma Shi and Alexandra Batoukova were joined by teammates from Bellevue and Kirkland, including Nika Samsavar, Environmental and Adventure school; Serena Yin, Odle Middle School; Sophia Fang, Odle Middle School; Jessica Massey, International School; and Sofia Blanco, Spiritridge Elementary School. The First Lego League is a division of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), which introduces students ages 9-14 to real-world engineering challenges or “missions” by building and programming LEGO-based robots to complete tasks on a specific, thematic playing surface. There are more than 500 FLL teams in Washington.
Tent City 4 wins city permit, begins 120-day stay at church As many as 51 people allowed at encampment By Tom Corrigan tcorrigan@ sammamishreview.com Permit in hand, the homeless encampment known as Tent City 4 was scheduled to move onto the grounds of Mary, Queen of Peace Feb. 5 for a 120-day stay.
Up to 51 camp members will be allowed to stay at the church. On Feb. 5, Jeff Thomas, Sammamish community development director, said Tent City 4 and the host church had met all conditions laid out in city code. The city spell outs requirements for such things as sanitation, an adequate water supply and screening from any abutting residences. The church also had to hold a public meeting, which it did Dec. 30 with about 30

The first time Tent City 4 visits an area, there is plenty of opposition, Duggan said. “But fears diminish,” he added. “People realize it’s a well-ordered operation.” This is Tent City 4’s second stay at Mary, Queen of See CAMP, Page 3

Police stopped a car traveling at over 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on Issaquah-Pine Lake Road. Reports said officers found what they believed to be cocaine in the car. The car stop happened at just before 11 p.m. Jan. 27.
Either police or store security (or maybe both) were able to recover items in an attempted shoplifting at the QFC, 4560 Klahanie Dr. S.E. The incident took place Jan. 26. No arrests were reported.

Assault Police said a man described as the exboyfriend of a female resident on Klahanie Drive Southeast became drunk and violent at her home. Reports said he broke a computer tablet and “pulled” on a juvenile resident. When the ex-girlfriend tried to call police, he broke her phone and shoved her into a door. He was booked into the Issaquah jail following the incident on Jan. 28. The Sammamish Review publishes names of those charged with felony crimes. Information comes directly from local police reports.

Peace. The encampment was last there in 2013, when it stayed for 90 days. During that time, police responded to 30 calls involving the encampment, said Sammamish Police Sgt. Frances Carlson. Camp leadership was responsible for about half those calls, she added. There were eight arrests, including one for domestic violence. But a drug arrest got the most attention. According to police and others, the suspect was allegedly selling methamphetamines to other campers. During the December meeting, Tent City 4 leadership said they had greatly tightened security at the camp. Identified only as Perry, one resident said repeatedly that every person living in Tent City 4 must have a valid government ID. They are checked for active warrants and sex offenses.
Mystic From Page 1 because at least 80 percent of the targeted property is contiguous to the city. That means no public vote is planned and, with City Council action at its Feb. 2 meeting, the annexation should become official March 23. At present, the Mystic Lake property is undeveloped, home to no one and consists of one large parcel owned by one party, Toll Washington. Toll has received preliminary approval from King County for a planned subdivision.

Site development work already is underway. Sammamish ultimately will issue any building permits. During the Feb. 2 City Council meeting, officials noted the subdivision was already approved by King County when the land was unincorporated. Development standards will not be the same as if the subdivision were built following Sammamish rules. City Manager Ben Yazici said the city was able to have the property reviewed under the State

Environmental Protection Act. In 2013, the city and Toll entered into a mitigation agreement that will see the city receiving traffic and impact fees from the developer. That agreement means each lot on the property will pay $9,500 for traffic mitigation and $1,700 for park mitigation. There were no comments from the audience during a public hearing held to allow resident remarks on the annexation.

Shively previously said that according to Sammamish rules, after a 21-day comment period open to residents, the city and the church needed to have what he called a reconciliation meeting to work out any last-minute problems.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW
Romance exists in other forms on sappy holiday Valentine’s Day is Sunday. The most successful commercialization of a date, ever. At least with Christmas, many people still celebrate the birth of Christ. My wife and I refuse to participate in this overt corporate creation. (Golly, I sound like a Bernie Sanders voter.) My token protest on Valentine’s Day is purchasing orchids instead of roses for my wife. However, many have enjoyed the holiday set aside to recognize our love for our significant other. I reached out to the burgeoning writers I wrote about last week to share their most treasured Valentine’s Day memory. South Cove resident

He that accompacan’t remember nies us on all in all that time our car trips. not exchangWhy, you ing Valentine’s ask? Because it cards.

It was the cupboard Kapalua on the north where we keep the sugar end of Maui,” Smith bowl. I heard Janet’s wrote. “We had just finscream from the next room. It was great fun to ished golfing. It was Feb. open the cupboard door 8, and we were sitting
outside at a restaurant on the golf course. We were leaving the next day and I said I had an early Valentine’s Day present that I wanted to give her. She said she wanted to wait until we got home to exchange gifts.” Smith said he is not a “date” driven guy. But he felt the time was right, the location was right, and it turns out, he was right. “I opened the box, handed it to her and dropped on one knee in a very crowded restaurant. The people around us heard me ask her to marry me and we got a nice round of applause. Her comment was ‘It’s about time,’ then she started crying,” Smith wrote.
“A good day (and night) was had by all. We’re still together and still very happy.” There’s something to say about love by the longevity of a marriage or relationship. Take Kathleen Lawrence and her husband, Joe, still together after 44 years of marriage. Sometimes, the best memory does come from simple places. “After the first several years of the romantic ones, Joe and I, too, began to send funny ones to each other. In some odd way, they mean more than the mushy ones now,” she wrote to me. “A couple of years ago I sent Joe a Valentine’s card with the boy dog driving a motor scooter, like a Vespa, and the girl dog holding on
to him from behind. He was turning to look back at her, and she was smiling coquettishly at him. They were both wearing helmets, which for someone reason I found particularly funny. Both dogs looked madly in love and had a look on their faces like they were of one heart and mind. Strangely, I thought they almost resembled us, too. On the card it showed two other animals driving scooters separately and looking angry. The sentiment on the card read ‘I’d rather share the ride with you.’ If you have been married for as many years as Joe and I, you know exactly what that means.” And that encapsulates why we should celebrate Valentine’s Day.
miles via Inglewood Hill Road. The increased travel time for me at 3:15 p.m. was about a half an hour. On Nov. 25, 2015, a Redmond Fire Department aid car transporting a patient was blocked by the failure of the gate at Northeast 42nd Street and had to detour around it for an extra 3 miles. Why is Northeast 42nd Street barricaded? We were told that the barricade was a temporary measure to prevent “cut-through” traffic from Sahalee Way until the SR 202 improvements were completed. The
city engaged Gray and Osborn to complete a traffic and safety study. That study recommended the Northeast 42nd Street barricade be a temporary measure until the SR 202 improvements are completed. Traffic engineers Lee Haro and Steven Chen, employed by the city, reviewed the traffic study and also recommended removal of the barricade after the SR 202 improvements are completed. These recommendations are contained in memorandums dated Nov. 5, 2001, and July 7, 2002. The conditions used to approve the temporary
Northeast 42nd Street barricade have been met, but the barricade has not been removed. The actions of the city to continue to operate the barricade are in conflict with the experts and staff recommendations. Now the City Council is considering another study. Why? What is the agenda behind this denial of the public the use of public facilities? The conditions that resulted in the temporary barricade have been met; now please remove the barricade immediately.

Letters to the Editor Drug prices need to be examined The discrepancy in drug costs for the same drug is outrageous. Consumer Reports magazine wrote an enlightening article on medications in its January 2016 issue called “Save Money on Your Meds.” It is unimaginable that one could buy the same five drugs for $83 or pay $855! I don’t think most of us were aware that such extreme pricegouging exists. Use goodrx.com to compare drug prices in our area.
The real issue is what Medicare and the insurance companies paying for the same drugs. Rite Aid charges $255 and CVS $235 for generic Actos (pioglitazone), which Costco sells for $18. The drug is used in the treatment of type II diabetes. Why is there such a discrepancy in the drug costs? What are the insurance companies paying for this drug? What is Medicare’s cost? No wonder our health insurance continues to increase each year. It is a travesty that Medicare is unable to
negotiate drug prices. Marianne Wilkins Sammamish
Barricade continues to block public access On Feb. 4, an accident closed Sahalee Way for most of the day. I hope no one was seriously injured in the accident. The Northeast 42nd Street barricade blocked the most-direct access route off the north end of Sammamish, causing all Sammamish residents to detour 9.1 miles to 244th Avenue Northeast or 7

For Eastside Catholic standouts, signing day a chance to rejoice By Neil Pierson npierson@ sammamishreview.com Ten Eastside Catholic student-athletes took the microphone and spent a few moments thanking the people who helped make their dreams come true. Like countless other schools around the nation, Eastside Catholic had a chance to celebrate Feb. 3, the first day of the NCAA’s 2016 signing period. Cameras flashed along with smiles from family members, friends and coaches as six football players and four soccer players officially became collegiate athletes.
The Crusaders’ twotime defending state championship football team was at the forefront of activities. Matt Laris and Brandon Wellington became two of the school’s highestprofile signings in coach Jeremy Thielbahr’s five-year tenure, moving on to the University of California-Berkeley and the University of Washington, respectively. “I’ve been watching people come and go from this program for a while, and it’s super exciting to finally be a part of it and finally do it for myself,” said Laris, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound See SIGNINGS, Page 8

In rivalry games, records often don’t mean much, and the Eastlake girls basketball team did its best to not underestimate Redmond in a regular-season finale on Feb. 5. Redmond pushed Eastlake to its limit for three quarters, forging a 40-40 tie with eight minutes left, but couldn’t overcome a tenacious
defense and some timely baskets from the Wolves, who walked away with a 56-47 victory in Class 4A KingCo Conference play at Eastlake High School.

Wolves From Page 6 The victory pushed Eastlake (14-6 overall, 11-5 KingCo) into a three-way tie for second place with Inglemoor and Woodinville. Because those three teams all finished 1-1 against each other, a coin flip was needed to settle the second, third and fourth seeds to this week’s KingCo tournament. Eastlake wound up with the No. 3 seed, and opened postseason play against No. 6 Skyline on Feb. 10 after press time. The Wolves will play either Inglemoor or Newport on Feb. 13 at Lake Washington High School, starting at 2 or 5:30 p.m. Redmond took the lead at the start of the fourth period on two Kiki Milloy free throws. But Eastlake took charge from there, closing the game on a 16-5 run. The Wolves picked up four offensive rebounds on one sequence, leading to a fifth foul on Milloy, an athletic, 5-foot-11 freshman. And Eastlake point guard Gina Marxen, who scored a game-high 22 points, helped her team milk the clock and hit four straight free throws for a 10-point lead.
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2016
Sophomore guard Elizabeth Chen also contributed to the Wolves’ late defensive stand and has steadily earned more minutes as the season has progressed. “Because our team has a lot of good scorers, I think defense is really an important part of when I get on the court, and just being aggressive and closing out hard,” Chen said. In the first quarter, Marxen scored eight points and Priestley had six of her 14 as Eastlake took a 16-13 lead. The margin grew to 30-24 at halftime as the Wolves consistently attacked the rim and made their free throws. Six Redmond players scored in the third period, and the Mustangs tied the score with 10 seconds left when Meghan Egberg found Andrea Dang for a 3-pointer from the left wing. But Eastlake’s role players came through, reinforcing the strong play of stars Marxen and Priestley. Edward finished with eight points, six in the second half, and Chen scored seven. The Wolves are winning without having a lot of experience and Edward said they’ve found ways to mature quickly. “I think it’s our communication, our hard work,” she said. “We really go to work at practice.”

Club email Kiss at gkiss@tpgrp.com. The Eastlake Wolves finished in fifth place at the KingCo tournament with 146.5 points. The team went 31-23 in all with seven top-five placers and one finalist. William Galarpe, who wrestles at 132 pounds, won his championship match and was the co-winner of the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award. Eastlake had three third-place finishers in Anakin MacArthur (113), Martin Miller and Eric Plummer (220). Noah Morse (182) and Jacob Kaufman (195) moved on as fourthplace finishers, while Rogan Kopper (170) will
be a regional alternate. Jake Crawford, who’s in his first year as Eastlake’s head coach, has been working with a young team. He felt his wrestlers have strong potential, but they lack the experience of the dominant teams in the league like Issaquah. “Issaquah’s definitely super tough,” he said. “They have a lot of depth and lot of experience.” His team has good numbers but not the years of practice. There are more than 20 freshman on the Wolves’ roster. “We have the depth,” Crawford said. “But we have lot of freshmen.”

receiver who caught 67 passes for 1,098 yards and 10 touchdowns as a senior. Laris said the academic challenges he’ll face at Cal were just as attractive as the football program, which finished 8-5 last season under coach Sonny Dykes. And Thielbahr, who played football at Washington State, was a big help to Laris during the recruiting process. “We have a great relationship,” Laris said. “We always talk about the next level and what it’s going to be like, and what I’m going to have to do to get there.” Wellington, a twoway threat who scored the winning touchdown in December’s state-title game against Bellevue, is expected to contribute at outside linebacker for Washington.

Kirsch (Cornell) and defensive back Jonathon Webster (Columbia). Linebacker Noah Failauga signed a Division I offer with San Jose State and receiver Devon Arbis-Jackson will play Division II ball at Central Washington. Scott Brayton, who coaches Eastside Catholic’s boys and girls soccer teams, had plenty of success to celebrate as well. Paul Lewis (Loyola Marymount) and Alex Beauchene (Western Washington) will play men’s soccer at the next level, while Tia Beck and Brooke Weedman will continue their careers together for the Gonzaga University women’s soccer team. Beck, who is EC’s career leader in goals (26) and assists (22), didn’t spend a lot of time fretting over her decision. “I was looking at a lot of other schools,” she said, “but then I went on a visit to Gonzaga, and I knew right from the get-go that it was going to be the place where I could call home.”

From Page 6 four treys as Mount Si built a 40-26 halftime edge, and during the third quarter, sinking four more to keep the lead at a comfortable 15 points. Fischer said he’d never had a game in which he was so unstoppable. “I mentally prepared for it in my head and I believed in myself,” he said. Fischer had help as Danny Tomson scored 22 points and Matt Myers added 10, and the Spartans couldn’t keep up with the breakneck pace, trailing by as many as 20 points in the third period. Senior forward Braden Ahlemeyer led Skyline with 23 points and junior guard Kellan Przybylski scored 20, but the bulk of their points came in the second half with the Spartans already in catch-up mode.
