“Bottoms to bottoms, backs to backs,” shouted district driver and trainer Gina Carey as dozens of parents and youngsters listened intently in a bus parked in the Issaquah High School parking lot.

“These buses don’t have seat belts, so bottoms to bottoms, backs to backs keeps you nice and safe.”

“The second rule is quiet, inside voices,” she continued.

“Sometimes our buses will carry more than 60 kiddos so if

“I was getting typecast as the wild, old woman,” said Huston, 18, pointing to such roles as Penelope Sycamore in “You Can’t Take it With You” and Abby Brewster in “Arsenic and Old Lace.”

City tries new ways to improve communications

BY LIZZ GIORDANO

lgiordano@sammamishreview.com

Councilmember Christie Malchow pointed to a removal of a grove of trees to make room for a 121-home subdivision along 228th Avenue Southeast in 2014 as the tipping point for a breakdown in communications between the city and residents.

“Most people weren’t aware

what was going on there until the bulldozers were in there and trees were coming down already,” Malchow said of construction along the highly visible arterial road.

Residents again were taken by surprise earlier this year after land was bulldozed along Issaquah-Pine Lake Road to make room the Conner-Jarvis development.

“We need to be out in

front of communications, ,” Malchow said of the outcry by residents after trees were removed from the site. “I

would argue the city hasn’t done, in my opinion, the best job in communicating out to its citizens information.

everybody is loud, it gets way too loud on the bus.”

She then cupped her left hand over her right, demonstrating the third and final rule: “Quiet hands and hands to yourself. Everybody’s allowed to have their own space on the bus.”

With the new knowledge in hand, the quiet group of 5-year-olds was ready to embark on their very first school bus ride, a short trip that began with a sudsy crawl

through the district’s bus wash and ended with a lesson in safely crossing the street.

The highlight of the trip was the visit to the bus wash, located across the street from Issaquah High. The kindergartners pressed their faces against the window, as a staff member sponged the bus’ side before large cleaning bristles traveled along the vehicle’s length.

“It’s like a real car wash,” one youngster exclaimed, as a score of oohs and aahs filled the bus.

After that, it was a short freeway ride to Preston and then a return trip back to the high school, where kids learned to wait for the driver’s signal before safely crossing the street.

The Issaquah School District’s re-creation of the school bus experience was true-to-form, but it was missing at least one thing — the watery eyes of parents ushering their kids off to school for the first time.

The proud parents are likely saving the tears for the real thing coming in September, and the

“I know it’s hard.

“We are OK if you follow us. We are used to driving a caravan on that first day of school.”

Malchow said before any trees came down the city should had been out discussing the project with citizens.

During its January retreat, the City Council created a new ad-hoc committee with a goal of improving communications by making it easier for residents to find information about what’s happening in the community.

Malchow, the chairwoman of the new communications committee, said ideas include implementing a searchable online database and map of ongoing projects in the city, increasing the font size of the project plans posted near sites to

make them more visible, staggering times for city open houses to capture a broader audience, and using social media to engage with residents.

Malchow’s first step to improving communications happened during the last City Council meeting held Aug. 19. An ordinance was passed requiring developers to notify more landowners of neighborhood meetings about future projects by expanding the area of notification to 1,000 feet.

“Our city’s dynamic has changed so much, even in the short time I’ve been here, but certainly since the city incorporated back in ’99,” Malchow said. “It’s so much bigger, there’s so many more people, it’s growing. There’s a huge need to communicate out change.”

In an effort to encourage input from a broader range of residents, the city launched a virtual town hall, an online public-input tool that allows residents who are unable to attend City Council meetings or other public forums to still voice their concerns or opinions and have them be heard by city staff and councilmembers.

“We have 60,000 people in Sammamish,” wrote Tim Larson, the city’s communications manager, in a press release announcing the new virtual town hall. “If we receive public comment from just six people, each one of them is having to speak for 10,000 others.

We think we can improve that ratio.”

This online platform allows citizens to take a survey prepared by the city or simply read com-

ments others have made.

The first survey topic for the virtual town hall: communications.

Malchow said the initial survey is a means for the city to understand what platforms residents use to get city news, whether that’s online, social media, the city newsletter or through their local newspaper.

“We need to know moving forward, when we engage the public, we are finding and meeting a majority of people,” Malchow said.

A California-based company, Peak Democracy, runs the virtual town hall platform. According to its website it created the tool for cities to use as an “online civic engagement platform that augments and diversifies public participation in ways that also enable govern-

ment leaders to increase public trust in their governance.”

Cities such as Palo Alto, Calif.; Salt Lake City; St. Paul, Minn.; and Ann Arbor, Mich. have used the company’s services.

Peak Democracy will monitor the comments for offensive language, personal attacks and impertinent comments.

As of Wednesday according to the Sammamish virtual town hall site, 535 people have visited the site and 113 filled out the survey.

Comments from participants have included “The truth” in response to the survey question “What kind of information do you want to receive from the city?” One participant asked Sammamish to “Fully embrace our social media epidemic!

Facebook feed and consider live streaming Council meetings through your city page.”

“We see a lot of our community reacting to things that are happening, but it can occur too late in the process,” Malchow said. “We need to engage the community early on, so their feedback has impact as far as changing the way we do things, whether it’s a road project or something in the town center.”

The virtual town hall also promises results to participants. “When public input is complete and we have finished reviewing all feedback, an outcome will be posted on this page,” according to the online platform’s website.

Currently there is no deadline for the survey.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Valderrama exhibits true leadership I have known Ramiro Valderrama for a long time. I have worked closely with him in both a community citizen’s group and in city government. I can say in both roles, Ramiro has exhibited true leadership. He understood the areas of concern that people had and always listened to additional concerns that were brought to his attention.

Once he was aware of an issue, he was able to reach out to whomever he needed to build coalitions of support and get things done.

He’s one of the few and rare politicians around that can listen and then go and solve the problem. I have felt strongly that once he gained the experience on a local level, his talents were needed and would be valuable at the state level. I feel confident that all the benefits that the citizens of Sammamish have enjoyed by having him on our City Council will be experienced by the citizens of the 45th Legislative District when he represents us in Olympia!

Megan Gee Sammamish

Wide range of endorsements for Valderrama While most politicians say they have bipartisan support, Ramiro Valderrama actually does. Ramiro is rated “outstanding” by the nonpartisan Municipal League of King County. He is endorsed by elected officials at the federal, state and local levels. He was re-elected to the Sammamish City Council during his last campaign with 83 percent of the vote! He is the best choice for state House, Position 1, because he will break the gridlock (literally on 405 and in the Legislature). Ramiro is endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business and unanimously endorsed by Eastside Fire & Rescue and Fire Commissioners. He also enjoys the endorsements of a wide array of diverse groups in: mental health, housing, public safety, environmentalists, healthcare professionals, contractors and balanced growth.

Ramiro Valderrama is currently the deputy mayor of Sammamish. Let’s make him our next representative in Olympia!

College sports preview: Six locals who stand out

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@ sammamishreview.com

Colleges and universities around the nation are set to begin their fall sports seasons in late August and early September. Here are six area high-school products who should serve important roles for their teams.

Crystal Anderson Claremont-Mudd-Scripps volleyball Anderson was a superb outside hitter during her days at Skyline, leading the Spartans to seventh place at the 2013 state tournament.

Now a junior at CMS, a Division III program in southern California, Anderson helped the Athenas go 27-6 and win their first conference tournament title in 2015.

As a sophomore, she played in every match and was third on the squad with 305 kills.

Hunter Hudgins Holy Cross football Hudgins was one of the first standout big men that coach Jeremy Thielbahr developed when he first arrived at Eastside Catholic.

Hudgins was a two-time All-Metro League lineman and continues to thrive on the offensive line at Holy Cross, a Football Championship Subdivision program in Worcester, Mass.

The 6-foot-5, 312-pound

Name: 13576/ Thomas R. Quickstad DDS P Width: 29p8.4 Depth: 3 in On Page: 5 Request Page: 0 Type: Display Color: Black plus one File Name: 25.13576.SR.R

Hudgins missed the latter half of the 2015 season with an injury but should ready to go for his senior campaign. When healthy, he was the Crusaders’ starting left tackle and helped them average about 400 yards and 32 points per game.

Max Levy Denison University diving Levy was a state champion during his Skyline career (2009-13) and has gotten even better at the Division III level, where he competes for the Big Red of Granville, Ohio.

Levy was named the 2015 D-III Male Diver of the Year as a sophomore after winning national titles in the 1- and 3-meter events. He also broke the school’s 11-dive record on the 3-meter board as a freshman with 576.15 points.

Levy didn’t win an individual NCAA title in 2016 but helped the Big Red win its third national team title after three straight runner-up finishes. He opens his final collegiate season in October.

Kristin Standish Gonzaga women’s soccer Standish, a senior defender, will see some familiar faces this fall in Spokane as fellow Eastside Catholic products Tia Beck and Brooke Weedman are joining the Bulldogs.

Standish hasn’t seen a ton of minutes for Gonzaga yet, but she’s

taller and more experienced than most of the team’s back line. She was a two-time all-state player in high school and figures to get more than the four starts she recorded as a junior.

Jodi Ulkekul Gonzaga women’s soccer A former captain at Eastlake, Ulkekul is all about work rate. The 5-foot-3 dynamo used to be a midfielder but has shifted to defense at Gonzaga and earned her way onto the pitch right away.

Ulkekul made 15 starts and had two goals in 2015 – both in West Coast Conference play against Saint Mary’s and San Diego – and the sophomore might be an important long-term piece for a program that’ll look to improve upon a 2-12-5

record.

Li Wang Yale golf Leadership is clearly in Wang’s blood. He was the captain for Eastlake’s 2013 state championship team and has earned the trust of his Ivy League teammates at Yale, who recently voted him as the Bulldogs’ captain for the coming season.

The senior, who was born in Beijing, China, was a four-time Washington Junior Golf Association champion and was chosen for the PING Northeast AllRegion team in June.

Li Wang putts in 2011 as an Eastlake High School junior during the Washington Junior Golf Association District 2 Championship at Mount Si Golf Course in Snoqualmie.
