A new sign quietly went up at the historic McGrath Hotel on North Bend Way over the weekend, announcing a new business set to open July 1. Brickyard Brewing, a company from Woodinville, has begun the process of gutting out, painting and refurnishing the space previously owned by Boxley’s, which closed in late April. In a Facebook post, the company announced a partnership with local chef Broc Thomson, who will manage the location’s “beer inspired gastro pub.” Thomson is a familiar face in the Valley, with experience as head chef at the North Bend Bar and Grill and owner of the Mexican restaurant Rio SEE TENANT, PAGE 7

Search and rescue crews mount three operations over Memorial Day weekend BY DYLAN CHAFFIN dchaffin@snovalleystar.com

King County search and rescue crews were kept busy over Memorial Day weekend. Seattle Mountain Rescue reported via Facebook three separate rescue operations taking place between May 27 and 28, one of which took almost 30 hours. Crews were dispatched in the early morning hours on Friday to locate two hikers, Paul and Henning Braess, from Germany, who were found southwest of Little Kulla Kulla Lake after being

reported missing when they did not return home from a day hike Thursday. Both father and son were found safe but cold, and were sent to the hospital for routine medical treatment. Temperatures had dipped down into the 30s, with snow reported in search areas, The Seattle Times reported. Soon after the rescue, crews were called to nearby Kaleetan Peak to a hiker that had been “cliffed out” and could not ascend or descend from the cliff. A few hours later, Seattle Mountain Rescue reported

that the hiker had been reached and brought the person safely off the mountain. The final rescue was for a hiker that had gotten lost in the fog and mistakenly went onto the ledges of the face of Guye Peak. Search teams were sent out Friday night from the south rib of the mountain, trying to locate a route to the hiker until 2 a.m. but were unable to reach him because of wet conditions, fog and darkness obscuring the path. Teams returned at first light around 5 a.m., with

two teams ascending to the summit and two staying at the bottom of the mountain to navigate a route to the hiker. Teams made voice contact with the hiker later that morning, which allowed rescuers to lower someone about 650 feet from the summit to get the hiker anchored and provide a basic medical assessment. But the operation was far from over. Once he was anchored, teams began pulling the pair back up the south side of the peak, where they could warm

the hiker up more and start the descent back down the mountain, which involved almost 2,000 feet of scrambling, rappelling and hiking back to base. All teams were out of the field by about 3 a.m. May 29.

Fire department TENANT offers free stop sets for windows to prevent falls From Page 1

The Snoqualmie Fire Department is offering free window stop sets to prevent falls from windows. Each year, the fire department responds to two to three calls regarding children falling from windows and suffering sometimes life-threatening injuries. In an effort to drop the amount of those calls to zero, the department is offering parents a free window stop set and tips to keep children safe in the summer months. n Keep furniture and anything a child can climb on away from windows. n Only allow windows to open four inches or less. Install window stops or guards to keep children from opening them any fur-

ther. n Teach your children to play a safe distance from any window. Remind them that “Screens keep bugs out. They do not keep kids in.” n Remember windows also serve as an emergency escape. Be sure windows can open without special knowledge or tools. n When buying new windows, ask for ones with built in 4-inch limiters. Window stop sets are available at the Snoqualmie Fire Station, 37600 SE Snoqualmie Parkway, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information, call the station at 888-1551 or contact Lt. Jake Fouts at jfouts@ ci.snoqualmie.wa.us.

Bravo, on East North Bend Way. The new menu will feature pub favorites with many smaller, more affordable plates and higher-end meals such as dry aged steak and seared salmon. Joe Montero, who outgrew his home brewing system, founded Brickyard Brewing in the fall of 2012. The business started with a one-barrel brew house, which made two kegs per batch and included a tiny taproom. Over the years, the business has expanded to 15 barrels with the capacity to produce as much as 90 barrels per month and distributes their products throughout Washington and Idaho. They currently have seven beers on tap, which will grow to include 12 with the opening of the North Bend location, Montero said. They will have eight full time beers with four rotating recipes ranging from light beer to IPAs

and Stouts, he added. The new location will have a 32-foot bar, complete with seating and configured to allow separate family and adult sections. The arrangement will allow for a meeting and event area, televisions, and potentially live music a few times a month. When asked why he chose North Bend to open a new location, Montero replied: “Well to tell the truth, I did not consider North Bend when the initial business plan was made for expansion. Longtime friend and chef, Broc Thompson made the proposal that Brickyard expand to this location when the historical McGrath

Building became available. I am very happy to say that Broc has become a partner in Brickyard and has driven the expansion into North Bend. As I spend time in North Bend I have become enamored with the town and am super excited to visit multiple times a week,” he said. “I am very grateful to have the opportunity to see the growth and acceptance Brickyard has had over the last few years.” The North Bend brew house is on track for a July 1 soft opening, which will give staff a few weeks to get the operation finetuned for a grand opening that coincides with the North Bend block party July 15.

Mount Si senior Jacob Wachtendonk throws in the Class 4A javelin competition May 28 during the state track and field championships in Tacoma.

Mount Si’s Jacob Wachtendonk repeats as state javelin medalist Wildcats win seven total medals BY NEIL PIERSON npierson@snovalleystar.com

The path to a championship theoretically got easier for Mount Si senior Jacob Wachtendonk when Wenatchee’s Dalton Sugg, the top Class 4A javelin thrower, didn’t compete at last week’s state meet in Tacoma. Wachtendonk had the second-best 4A mark of the season at 194 feet, 5 inches, during the Wesco/KingCo bi-

district championships. But he still trailed Sugg by more

than four feet. Sugg’s absence at Mount

Tahoma Stadium meant Wachtendonk was the favorite to win based on qualifying distances. But he didn’t catch any breaks and wound up fifth, his toss of 179-3 giving him successive state medals in the event. “Conditions weren’t exactly ideal,” Wachtendonk said after receiving his medal. “We had a really strong head wind, which really messes up the throw, but if you deal with it correctly, it could actually lead to some better success. “But we were all in the same conditions, so things played out as they did.” Wachtendonk’s first throw of the day was his best, but a nagging groin

injury that he’d picked up three weeks earlier got progressively worse during the state competition. “It just slows me down and it’s mostly a mental thing, but I powered through as best as I could,” he said. Olympia senior David Woodward won the 4A javelin title at 188-1. Mead’s Josh Farr, Walla Walla’s Andrew Granchukoff and Battle Ground’s Curtis Stradley comprised the top four, while Wachtendonk improved upon his seventh-place effort from 2015. He credits his Mount Si coaches, David Ovall and Jan-Olav Johansson, for mentoring him over the past four years. “Those two are always by my side every week, helping me out with this, and I can’t thank them enough,” Wachtendonk said.

four girls to the state meet and picked up seven total medals under cold, blustery conditions during the three-day competition. Baly Botten completed his career for the Wildcats by clearing 14 feet in pole vault, his third successive medal in the event. Jacob Belceto captured the first individual medal of his career. The junior was eighth in the 100-meter dash, but he lost his chance to medal in the 200 when he was disqualified for leaving his lane. Belceto also ran the lead leg of the Wildcats’ 4x100 relay, though he and Hunter Titus, Curtis Hutcherson and Justin Falk finished ninth in preliminaries, one spot short of the finals. Freshman Joe Waskom also barely missed a medal with his ninthplace time of 9:27.09 in the 3,200 meters. Senior Truman Gray was 12th in shot put (46-9 ¼), senior Dustin Robey was 13th in javelin (157-5) and senior Andrew Harris was 17th in the 110 high hurdles (15.93).
