If voters in Issaquah approve a $50 million transportation bond in November, a new traffic signal would be added to Southeast 43rd Way at the entrance to Providence Point. Since Issaquah’s annexation of Providence Point in 2003, a road project to improve safety for both motorists and pedestrians at the entrance to the community has been on the books. According to Issaquah Deputy City Administrator Emily Moon, a lack of funding has prevented the plan from proceeding. “We have been sitting here and waiting,” said Patrick Rooney, community manager at Providence Point. More than 1,400 members live in the adult community, which has two campuses stretching across Southeast 43rd Way. Rooney said crossing the busy street can be a challenge for residents, especially so close to a blind curve. Currently, the vehicles accessing the north campus enter and exit on separate streets. Offset to the west from the intersection, a single road leads in and out of the south campus. The proposed plan would create one intersection, with a traffic signal and crosswalks, so all cars to either campus would enter and exit from the same spot on 43rd. According to Issaquah

Members of the City Council and city staff last week received a glimpse of the under-construction Metropolitan Market, a much-anticipated anchor for Sammamish Town Center. Planning to join the grocery store for its February 2017 opening will be T-Mobile, Jersey Mike’s Subs, Issaquah Nails and Chipotle Mexican Grill.

Named The Village at Sammamish Town Center, the 6-acre site at the corner of Southeast Fourth Street and 228th Avenue Southeast includes a 159-unit apartment building and a medical pavilion with a variety of shops and restaurants mixed in. According to Tim Russell of TRF Pacific LLC, the developer of the site, more and more people want to live in smaller, more walkable areas, and the mixed-use project provides this option for Sammamish

residents. “People should be able to work there, shop there and live there,” said City Manager Lyman Howard of the new development. “It was good planning on the part of the

‘Washing Machine Drummer Kid’ lends his beat in Michael Jackson tribute video

BY JACOB NIERENBERG The Seattle Times

ON THE WEB

Four years after his father uploaded “Whirled Beat”— the video that made him an Internet sensation — “Washing Machine Drummer Kid” Jonathan Carollo has a new gig, lending his washing machine drumming talents to a Michael Jackson tribute video. The video, a cover of Jackson’s “Heal the World,” was produced by

world music duo Maati Baani and features 45 child prodigies from around the world. Jonathan was surprised he was asked to be a part of the video, released Aug. 29 on what would have been the King of Pop’s 58th birthday.

“I was the only one not playing a real instrument, and that was actually kind of cool,” Jonathan said. “It seemed like they really wanted me.” Jonathan’s involvement in the video is just one of several exciting things that have happened since “Whirled Beat,” where Jonathan pounds on a washing machine to produce a beat, went viral in late 2012. (As of writing, the video has over 3.1 million views on YouTube.)

Last year, a family trip to New York City resulted in a meet-and-greet with the cast of the theatrical show STOMP. One of Jonathan’s favorite moments came in April 2013, when he was invited to perform on Steve Harvey’s talk show; Jonathan remembered the audience’s enthusiasm as he played for the host. “The people in the crowd, they were enjoying it, and that was a lot of fun for me,” said

At age 14, he’s not really a kid anymore, but an incoming freshman at Eastlake High School, where he’ll be playing the snare drum in the marching band. Even so, Jonathan continues to play the washing machine from time to time. “He’s a bit humble about his abilities, he doesn’t like to think too much about it, and as far as he’s concerned he just wants to have fun and go about his business,” Dan Carollo said. Even now, Jonathan said he gets recognized by people who’ve seen the video. “They ask me if I was that kid who was drumming on the washing machine, and I’ll tell them, ‘oh yeah, that’s me,’” Jonathan said. “And then they’ll say, “hey, that’s cool.’”

In total, these two complexes account for approximately 103,000 square feet of retail, commercial and medical space, including approximately 40,000 square feet of that space is not yet leased. “We are excited the project is taking off,” Howard said. “And there is a fair amount of interest for the next phase.” According to records on file with the secretary of state, TRF Pacific’s registered agent is attorney Sean Durbin of Seattle. The company’s governing person is CEO and managing partner for TRF Pacific, Douglas Exworthy. According to the developer’s website, The Village at Sammamish Town Center is TRF Pacific’s 57th project over the last 40 years.

on roofs of the retail and commercial spaces. The apartment building will have its own parking. Councilmember Christie Malchow said it was exciting to tour the site because it is hard to envision what the finished complex will look like just passing by. The project hasn’t been easy due to the slope of the land, Russell said. Construction crews had to dig far into the hillside to account for the grade change. Russell said most of the infrastructure upgrades needed for the anticipated future demand have been completed. According to Howard, this is the most sustainable project TRF Pacific has ever built. “We are holding the project to a much higher standard and try to be as environmentally sensitive as we can,” Howard said. “TRF Pacific is doing a lot of good things as it relates to water and energy usage.” According to Malchow, the developer is capturing rainwater from the site and is installing a pump that will reuse some of that water for irrigation purposes. “They also have some pervious concrete on the site to meet stormwater requirements,” Malchow wrote in an email. Malchow was shared the developer’s plan of three linear holding tanks for stormwater manage-

ment. This allows sediment to settle out before moving to the next tank. Eventually, the stormwater leaves the site to enter the city’s system. “By that time, we were told it was fish-ready.” Malchow said. A local partner of TRF Pacific will manage the building of 159 apartments and 13,000 square feet of commercial space located on the westernmost quarter of the lot. The other three-quarters of the site will be developed by TRF Pacific. T-Mobile, Jersey Mike’s Subs, Issaquah Nails and Chipotle Mexican Grill will be built on top of the Metropolitan Market, all in one complex. A second, larger complex will house the Sammamish Medical Pavilion, along with Pacific Dental, an immediate care clinic, Allegro Pediatrics, IRG

More of the region’s athletes in your paper

ne of the most important things I’ve learned from 14 years of receiving feedback as a newspaper reporter is that parents love seeing their child’s name in print. That also goes for the child’s grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, neighbors and teachNeil Pierson ers. There’s something special about picking up your local paper and reading about the people you already know, or the people you’d like to get to know. An article might remind readers about the best parts of a subject’s character or — even better — it could provide insight into unknown parts of the subject’s past, present and future. With that goal in mind, we’ve chosen to add a feature to the sports sections of our three weekly newspapers. Throughout the 2016-17 school year, you’ll see the Eastside Athlete of the Week rotate between the six high schools we cover in the Sammamish Review, The Issaquah Press and SnoValley Star. Turn to this week’s sports pages in the Sammamish Review and you’ll find the debut article, a look at Liberty High School senior runner Brigette Takeuchi. We’re not reinventing the wheel with this feature. The Eastside Athlete of the Week follows a basic layout for profiles that newspapers have been doing for decades. But it’s something our readers haven’t seen lately and we’re trying to balance the need for strong game coverage with glimpses into the lives of the young athletes who represent our communities. Take this week’s feature on Takeuchi, a well-spoken young woman who could challenge for a state cross country title in a few months. I didn’t know anything of her personal struggles or triumphs before the interview, but she candidly opened up about the injury that nearly derailed her running career as well as the reasons why she loves the sport. These are the stories we want to tell. And we want our readers to help share them. Email npierson@sammamishreview.com if you know a young athlete with an inspirational or entertaining personal tale. They don’t have to be star athletes. In fact, the best stories are often about the kids who are struggling for playing time or play an unsung role for their teams. The only requirement is they attend one of the schools in our coverage area — Eastlake, Eastside Catholic, Issaquah, Liberty, Mount Si or Skyline. And here’s a secret: I love putting your child’s name in print. It’s one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

SAMMAMISH REVIEW

Letters to the editor Sammamish Plateau Water subscribes to policy of transparency Sammamish Plateau Water appreciates the ongoing reporting in the Sammamish Review and The Issaquah Press concerning the presence of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in the public drinking water supply. With that said, it’s disappointing the Aug. 29 Sammamish Review article, “District’s PFOS claim misleading, experts say,” and the Aug. 30 Issaquah Press article, “More wells to be drilled to determine size of PFOS plume,” stated Sammamish Plateau Water was “misleading” the public. The writers of these recent articles assumed the District misled the public when it used a simple analogy to assist our customers in understanding a volumetric equivalence. This same analogy is found on many reputable agency websites, including that of the Environmental Working Group, which employs the expert the Review and Press used as a source in their reporting. We subscribe to a policy of complete transparency, as the safety of our customer’s drinking water is paramount. We’ve never hidden or minimized the potential threat to our water. Instead, since learning that a PFC plume may be migrating toward two of our wells, we’ve practiced full disclosure through media releases, web postings, social media, and direct mailings to our customers. We’ve openly discussed the facts and circumstances as information has become available. Since we discovered the minute presence of PFCs in two of our production wells, the District has taken a proactive approach to protect our customer’s drinking water. As stewards of our water resource, we hold ourselves to higher principles than merely meeting minimum standards set by the EPA, which is why we’ve shared all our test results and engaged the community and local media. We’ve also hired both local specialists who understand our groundwater and national experts who can identify the impacts of PFCs in drinking water. As a water and sewer service provider, we may not be able to control everything that happens in the environment, but we can control how we respond and act as advocates for our customers. We will maintain our efforts to ensure the water we provide our customers is safe to drink; but we cannot solve this problem alone. Local and state agencies must be involved and work together to answer these significant questions: What caused this release and where is the source? How great a risk does it pose to

Reader touched by youngster’s column about special-needs children

I was touched by the column Zachary Hochman wrote about working with special needs kids, and what a blessing it has been to him. A huge thank you to him and to all who have a special place in their hearts for the disadvantaged. Our adult son with special needs has received much help over the years, and we are eternally grateful. He is a productive part of our community. He has worked at Safeway for about 16 years. We are grateful to Safeway for hiring our special needs citizens and helping them develop more life skills. Ed and Marlene Flagel Sammamish

She pointed out that even without this new intersection, cars eventually still have to stop along 43rd. “If you are an alert, careful driver, you are paying attention to conditions” Seeman said. “And a signal makes it much safer to make turns onto 43rd.” With proper pre-light

notification, Rooney said slick, icy streets wouldn’t be a problem. The city plans to post pre-notification signs to warn drivers of the traffic signal. Rooney said Providence Point residents are extremely excited the project is part of the proposed bond. Providence Point residents have been actively advocating for

safety improvements. They came out in force during open houses and community meetings to show their support for the project, which is estimated to cost Issaquah $5.8 million. The Providence Point alignment and signalization is one of four projects that make up Issaquah’s $50 million transportation bond on the Nov. 8 ballot.

Crusaders triumph in highly anticipated matchup of last year’s 3A and 4A state champions

GREG FARRAR | gfarrar@sammamishreview.com

Eastside Catholic wide receiver Marcus Stoebner (12) scores the Crusaders’ first touchdown of the season, beating Gonzaga Prep junior defensive back Michael Pablo during the first quarter of their Sept. 2 game. Stoebner had six catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns as Eastside Catholic won the matchup between last year’s 3A and 4A state champions, 21-7.

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@sammamishreview.com Every superhero needs a sidekick. Batman has Robin, the Lone Ranger has Tonto and Michael Jordan had Scottie Pippen. If wide receiver Hunter Bryant is Eastside Catholic’s superhero – and his 16 catches for 139 yards in the season opener solidified that idea – then first-year varsity player Marcus Stoebner served as a more-than-capable sidekick. Stoebner hauled in six passes

for 120 yards and two touchdowns, giving the reigning Class 3A champion Crusaders the necessary points for a 21-7 win over defending 4A champion Gonzaga Prep on Friday night in Sammamish. The win was far from easy as the Crusaders had to overcome multiple turnovers, penalties and missed assignments, as well as a Bullpups team that figures to be among the state’s best again. “It means so much to us,” Stoebner said as the school’s victory bell rang. “We were real-

ly looking for a challenge out here and they brought it. They brought everything they had.” Stoebner stepped into a role vacated by former standout Devon Arbis-Jackson and looked sharp, EC coach Jeremy Thielbahr said. “We’re really excited about what Marcus did,” Thielbahr said. “He’s a kid that we’re going to need to count on … He did a great job, made some huge, critical plays and blocked great. It’s not just the big catches.” EC took the ball first and needed only eight plays to get

on the board as new quarterback Zach Lewis hit Stoebner for a 23-yard touchdown down the middle. The Crusaders tried an onside kick to retain possession but the Bullpups recovered and were in the end zone in five plays with Kasey Anthony’s 8-yard run. The frenetic scoring pace didn’t last. EC took the lead with a seven-play, 54-yard drive that ended with Chris Lefau’s 8-yard TD catch, but the teams combined to score only once more in the final three quarters.

Lewis, who replaces 10,000yard passer Harley Kirsch, had a good first game. He completed 29 of 36 throws for 325 yards, though he also threw two interceptions, one of them in the red zone. “I think Zach learned a lot today and he learned that what we’re teaching is right,” Thielbahr said. “If he stays in the pocket and executes at a high level then we’re going to win a lot of ball games with him.” SEE EASTSIDE, PAGE 12
