Development projects draw protests

City Council unanimously approves tribe-opposed plans at May 9 meeting BY DYLAN CHAFFIN dchaffin@snovalleystar.com

Armed with a petition signed by more than 800 people, the Snoqualmie Tribe and dozens of its supporters filled Snoqualmie’s City Council chambers to testify against “irresponsible” development during the May 9 council meeting. There were three public hearings regarding development on the agenda, including restating and amending the Salish Lodge expansion project with the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, a Tokul roundabout capital improvement project latecomer agreement, and a development agreement for traffic mitiga-

tion at the Old Mill site. The City Council voted unanimously to approve all of three of the development agreements. Before the first hearing, City Attorney Bob Sterbank gave a presentation to dispel prior misunderstandings with the proposed Salish Lodge expansion and housing development that the Snoqualmie Tribe said was too close to Snoqualmie Falls. The initial development agreement for the Salish Lodge expansion has five amendments to it that were agreed to and adopted by the City Council and the involved parties. The amendments date to 2004,

Timber Ridge school nears final phases BY DYLAN CHAFFIN dchaffin@snovalleystar.com

Charter-school advocates send money Mullet’s way BY SCOTT STODDARD sstoddard@snovalleystar.com

An examination of campaign contributions to the two Issaquah candidates in the 5th Legislative Sen. Mark District’s Mullet Senate race reveals the incumbent is holding a slight advantage. Sen. Mark Mullet (D) has amassed $83,094 while his challenger, Rep. Chad Magendanz (R), has raised $74,011. Both have spent roughly $25,000 to this point in the race. More than 10 percent of Mullet’s cash contributions this election cycle are from

proponents of charter schools. Mullet and Magendanz were co-sponsors of a bill to salvage the state’s charter-school law after it was struck down by the state Supreme Court in 2015. Katherine Binder, a selfdescribed education advocate from Bellevue, gave Mullet $1,900. In 2014, Binder contributed $200,000 in support of Initiative 1240, which permitted the creation of up to 40 charter schools in the state. William P. Binder of Bellevue also gave Mullet $1,900. Other charter-school advocates contributing to Mullet’s re-election campaign include Democrats for Education Reform WA PAC ($1,900), WA Charters PAC ($1,000) and the Education Voters Political Action Fund ($950). “It’s solely a policy issue,”

said Mullet, who then described his visit to a Seattle charter school. “The kids that were there, they were really happy with them and the parents were really happy with them. “The testimony in Olympia was really powerful,” Mullet said. “I’m really happy they’re not getting closed down.” Mullet was one of only two of the Senate’s 23 Democrats

Hospital District board of commissioners vote for steps to pay off $100 million debt BY DYLAN CHAFFIN dchaffin@snovalleystar.com

Finding the solution to Snoqualmie Valley Hospital District’s $100 million debt is easier said than done. But the board of commissioners is moving in the right direction, Commissioner David Speikers said, voting during its May 5 meeting to authorize a series of strategic planning meetings that could help either make money off of new investments or pay off the bonds the hospital owes. The hospital is serving an increasing percentage of patients with Medicaid, which has a low reimbursement rate and causes the hospital to money. The district is currently paying off

the interest on its front-end bonds first because they’re unsure of how much longer the hospital will retain its critical-care access status. For the most part, the hospital district is improving, Speikers noted, saying that 24 out of 25 of the hospital’s beds are full every day. The last bed is held in case an acute patient needs to be admitted. The fact remains, however, that 70 percent of the hospital’s patients are self-pay or no-pay. “It’s a very difficult struggle. I know what the issues are and what we have to do. But can we do it? I don’t know,” Speikers told the board. Interim CEO Tom Parker, who replaced Rodger McCollum as chief executive, seemed

hopeful that the strategic planning sessions would yield positive results. Speikers remained wary, asking his colleagues and hospital staff to come together with new ideas that could offset the debt. “The bottom line is, if all of our expenses stay the same, our reimbursement rate is going to start going down. It may not be significant at first, but at some point it’s going to be tremendous 10 to 15 years out.” As for the study requested by the finance committee on what happens if the district should lose its critical-care access status, commissioners said that a consultant would need to be hired at a cost of about

$8,000-$10,000, and the study would take about three to four months. “The first part of this is knowing what we’re going to be facing in two, three, four, five years out as far as reimbursements go,” Speikers said. It was an otherwise tense evening as the resolution to approve the strategic planning meetings and an agenda item to appoint a new CEO were presented to the board on short notice. Board President Dariel Norris dropped off the resolution to hire a new CEO during the meeting, but said they were not planning to appoint a new CEO that evening. The agenda item was solely to introduce the resolution to draft an

employment agreement to hire Parker as the permanent CEO of the hospital. No documentation was given to the public. The resolution was also missing a job description and salary, noted Commissioner Gene Pollard, but Norris told the board that the item was meant to go to a vote to allow a committee to draft up a services agreement. With the vote passing 4-1, with Pollard voting no on the grounds of the resolution not having enough information and not having enough time to examine it, the board will move ahead with drafting the contract to hire Parker. The contract must be drafted by May 20, and the board has 30 days to review.

to back the charterschool rescue bill, which Gov. Jay Inslee allowed to become law without actually signing it. Regarding the donations, Mullet said, “People acknowledged that I had gone against the norm.” The vast majority of both Mullet’s and Magendanz’s largest contributions have come from multinational corporations, political action committees and special interest groups. Mullet has received money from Microsoft and Paul Allen’s Vulcan, while Magendanz has seen contributions arrive from Expedia and eBay. It’s a different scenario in the district’s House races, where four of the five candidates for the two seats have relied to this point mostly on personal donations. Only the Position 1 incumbent, Republican Rep. Jay Rodne of Snoqualmie, has a donor list that is filled mostly with special-interest groups. Rodne’s opponent, Democrat Jason Ritchie, has raised nearly $45,000 through May 5, which is $26,000 more than Rodne. Republican Paul Graves leads the three Position 2 candidates in total money raised. Graves has $51,826 in contributions, including seven $1,900 donations from individuals. The Democrats in the race, Darcy Burner and Snoqualmie Mayor Matt Larson, have raised $35,385 and $26,281, respectively. Larson’s largest total contribution came from fellow Democrat Mark Mullet. The Snoqualmie Tribe, which is suing Larson, gave $950 to Burner.

comfort, though they’re actually vessels for transphobia, otherwise known as being scared of something we don’t understand. The fact that Washington lawmakers even drafted Initiative 1515 is scary to me, and should be to you, as well. Do we really want to stand with other

states, such as North Carolina, Mississippi, and Indiana, that are continually preaching hate instead of love? We certainly didn’t as one of the first states that celebrated making gay and lesbian marriage legal. And if you’re willing to support the other factions of the LGBT community, you

should, by common sense, be willing to accept the ‘t’ part, too. If the measure goes to the ballot in November, think about the message that sends to our neighborhoods, or our children. Instead of simply allowing these men and women to use a public bathroom in a school, or at a busi-

ness, we’re proposing to strip away their dignity and privacy. What effects will you see on transgendered teenagers? As a case of blatant discrimination, I-1515 has no place in a state that prides itself on being progressive. Let’s stay on the right side of history, Washington.

SCHOOL From Page 1

As part of the jump to a more technologically savvy school, each classroom will have 70-inch touch screen televisions that are mounted on a track, allowing teachers to move them and use them as learning tools. With technology constantly growing and changing, the TVs are cheaper to buy and install than projectors, said project manager Clint Marsh. If the school district decides to employ the

Each of the classrooms in the east, north and south wings are adjoined through a door, allowing teachers to teach in larger groups. Unlike Cascade View Elementary, Timber Ridge hosts all of its administrative offices in a single hallway, making it a “true administrative area,” Marsh said.

The architectural design celebrates natural light, with large windows in the administrative staff area and throughout the school. Outside, crews are finishing shingling and will seal the windows with a sand compound to blend in with the rough stone pattern. “It’s an extremely sturdy building,” said school district President Jeff Doy during the tour. On the west side, the gymnasium, music building and cafeteria are shaping up, with a moveable wall that can separate a stage area from the rest of the eating area and gym floor to serve as a classroom, or be opened to allow for more space. The new security system mirrors the one installed at Mount

when a deal was struck between the city and Gateway Cascades LLC, Sterbank said. “This isn’t a new project,” Sterbank added. “All of the essential project elements – hotels, conference facilities and residential were all agreed to in 2004, over 10 years ago.” A City Council authorization of the restated and amended agreement does not allow construction to begin, he noted, saying there are multiple other approvals that have to come from staff and/or City Council before that can happen. First, a master plan is required. A public process would follow that with

Parkway at Southeast 96th Street. They discovered an unoccupied Ford F-150 with 20- to 30-foot flames. After extinguishing the blaze, investigators located the

owner. He stated he was driving the truck to a safe location after finding leaking fuel under the truck; he suspected a mechanic caused the leak after working on the

truck in his driveway. As the owner arrived at the area to wait for his wife, he noticed a sizzling sound coming from under the floorboards and when he opened

the door, found flames coming from underneath the vehicle. He quickly exited the vehicle and then a passerby called 911. The cause of the fire was determined to

be mechanical failure secondary to repairs made earlier in the day. The estimated loss from the fire was $3,378 and no more than $1,000 in contents.

a review by the city, and should that be approved, there are still smaller discretionary approvals needed. Should the Muckleshoot tribe move ahead with residential construction first, it will go to the hearing examiner. The hotel and conference facilities component would need to be approved by either staff or the City Council, depending on the size of the project. Prior to 2004, the city began planning for development east of Snoqualmie Falls and State Route 202 in an area called the “Snoqualmie Falls Planning Area,” according to council documents. A central purpose of the planning effort was to accommodate devel-

opment on a 53-acre site comprised of two parcels: the Morgan parcel and the Tokul parcel. Gateway Cascades proposed to construct the Salish expansion, centered around a 250-room conference oriented hotel, lots for 110 residential units, a realignment of Tokul Road and expansion of the lower parking lot next to the Morgan parcel, documents said. In 2007, after a bid process, the lodge was purchased by the Muckleshoot tribe, who partnered with the city to draft the third, fourth and fifth amendments in 2009, 2010 and 2012. It was the fourth amendment to the resolution that changed the number of homes allowed in the expansion from 110 to 175, Sterbank

said. A spokeswoman for the Muckleshoot tribe said that just because 175 homes are allowed does not mean all of them will be constructed. “We haven’t even decided that internally,” she told the council. Sterbank also said that the development would be a quarter-mile away from the falls, out of view from any of the major viewpoints of the city. “A quarter-mile? That’s nothing. It’s four football fields away. You can hear a dog barking from five miles away,” Tribal Chairwoman Carolyn Lubenau said during her testimony. She pointed out that King County adopted its first comprehensive plan in 1964, eventually developing Vision 2040,

a regional strategy for accommodating the 5 million people expected to live in the Puget Sound region by 2040. “It’s an integrated, long-range vision for maintaining a healthy region — promoting the wellbeing of people and communities, economic vitality and a healthy environment,” she said. “We are here tonight to remind the city of those goals.” She focused on the state Growth Management Act passed in 1991, which encourages smart growth and sustainable development for areas outside of urban growth areas. Urban areas, she reminded the council, have public transportation, while those living in smaller towns or suburbs have to rely on vehicles,

further polluting and disrupting the environment. “We are here tonight to remind the city that this proposed ‘irresponsible development’ severely compromises the quality of life for future generations by desecrating a place visited by over 2 million people a year to see nature’s creation in all its glory,” she said. Melynda Davis, a tribal council alternate, spoke on behalf of the Save Snoqualmie Falls campaign, which has amassed more than 40,000 supporters on Facebook. “You can’t ignore us anymore,” she said. “You have the power to stop this irresponsible development. Do not approve this project. Help us protect Snoqualmie Falls. For all people and for all time.”

Mount Si advances to KingCo baseball championship game BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com

Spartans zap Wildcats in ‘electric’ title game

BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com

Some games that are supposed to be highly competitive don’t turn out that way and the losing coach is left shaking his head at the opponent’s performance. Mount Si coach Darren Brown experienced that scenario as the Skyline Spartans thoroughly dominated his Wildcats, 4-0, to win the Class 4A KingCo Conference boys soccer tournament championship game on May 9 in Sammamish. “They were electric,” Brown said of the Spartans, who clinched a berth in the state playoffs for a seventh straight season. It was an atypical performance for a Mount Si team that had averaged nearly three goals per game in the regular season. Defending 3A champion Interlake is the only other team to shut out the Wildcats this season. The loss left Mount Si (123-2) disappointed but with another chance to reach state. The Wildcats host either Camas or Union of the Greater St. Helens League on May 14. A kickoff time had not been announced at press

deadline. Last season, the Wildcats reached the KingCo title game before losses to Inglemoor and Skyline ended the season. Brown said he expects captains Reid Howland, Jimmy Jacobson and Ethan Duvall to provide the necessary leadership to keep history from repeating itself. “They’ve got to get everybody geared in, including myself,” the coach said. “We have to have everybody on the same page going forward.” Skyline (12-1-2) won the regular-season meeting between the teams, 3-2, and took early control of the rematch. In the second minute, Matthew Richardson floated a long free kick into a crowded penalty area and Ivan Esmeral got a slight deflection on it, sending it past Mount Si goalkeeper Griffin Popp. “You’re kind of shellshocked – you could just see the look on our faces,” Brown said of falling behind early. “It was nice to see that we execute on a set piece, get bodies in there and it’s

a difficult job for the goalkeeper to get it out,” Skyline coach Don Braman said. “It’s something we worked on all week.” Skyline had multiple chances to cash in again before halftime but Mason Prendergast, Tanner Strawn and Sergio Palomino all shot wide of goal. Mount Si’s Drew Harris and Brock Olthouse also had good looks that missed the target. The Spartans finally doubled the lead in the 45th minute when Ty Good found a streaking Richardson, who slotted home a low shot to Popp’s left. Set pieces again worked to Skyline’s advantage in the 56th minute as Fed Rubiolo’s free kick found Prendergast among a mass of players. Brown said the Wildcats must improve on set-piece defending but didn’t blame any individuals. Palomino finished the scoring in the 78th minute when he poked in a rebound of David Carrasco’s shot. The match was rough and tumble with the referee doling out a total of five yellow cards – Duvall, Harris and SEE SOCCER, PAGE 11

The Mount Si Wildcats were on cruise control for much of the season, winning 15 of their first 17 baseball games to put themselves on the precipice of a Class 4A KingCo Conference regularseason title. Mount Si hit a speed bump when it dropped a 13-inning decision at Woodinville on April 29. That was part of a three-game slide to end the regular season and a tiebreaker loss to Skyline on May 3 dropped the Wildcats to the No. 3 seed at the KingCo tournament. All those frustrations ended on May 6 as senior righthander Jimmy Boyce took his team on his shoulders. Boyce tossed a completegame two-hitter with nine strikeouts and the Wildcats kept their season alive with a 4-0 win over the Newport Knights at Bannerwood Park in Bellevue. Boyce had a perfect game through four innings and didn’t allow a ball out of the infield until Bryce Beck led off the fifth with a sharp single. Newport put two men on in the seventh but Boyce fanned Conner Schilling to end the game. “I think my slider was really working,” Boyce said. “I was mixing speeds well, keeping guys off-balance. That’s the name of pitching.

Basically, that’s all I had to do and, at times, they got themselves out and really helped.” Boyce’s effort put Mount Si in a tournament semifinal game on May 7 and the Wildcats avenged two earlier defeats to Skyline, winning 7-6. Gavin Gorrell pitched 6 1/3 innings for the win and Nick Solomon got the save against Skyline. Mount Si broke a 3-3 tie with four runs in the sixth inning. The Wildcats (18-5) faced Woodinville (16-5) in the KingCo championship game on May 10, results that came after press time. The winner earned a berth in the state playoffs, while the loser will have a second chance when it plays Skyview of Vancouver at Bannerwood at 2 p.m. May 14. Against Newport, Mount Si got the only run it needed in the first inning when shortstop Mason Marenco led off with a single and scored when Justin Lutz walked with the bases loaded. Marenco added an RBI single in the second, Gorrell had a sacrifice fly and Newport shortstop Alex Lambeau gifted the Wildcats a run with a two-out throwing error in the fifth. “Really, I’m up just up there trying to see pitches, get my guys behind me to see the timing and everything,” SEE BASEBALL, PAGE 11
