Festival keeps ‘Peaks’ popular
BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com You might not have realized it, but the Snoqualmie Valley was home to an international fan festival last weekend that has attracted people from nearly every continent for the last 23 years. Twin Peaks. What does that mean to you? Is it merely a vague memory from the early ’90s? A name you read on a fictitious town sign on Reinig Road? Nothing in particular? To 300 fans and attendees of the Twin Peaks Festival July 21-25, it meant a long-anticipated family reunion.
City seeks funds to pay for skate park A skate park at Snoqualmie Ridge nearly a decade in the making is on the cusp of becoming a reality. While the design phase for the skate park is nearly complete, the City of Snoqualmie has not yet come up with the money to pay for its construction. Grindline, the company contracted to design the Ridge skate park, is finalizing plans and getting through

the permitting process, lead designer Micah Shapiro said. Meanwhile, the city is scouring a variety of sources to pay for the project. Finding funds The city was recently awarded a $175,000 grant from the state Recreation and Conservation Office, but it must match that amount in order to receive the grant. There aren’t enough funds to match the grant at this time, Parks and Recreation Director Dan Marcinko said. The parks
department is looking for ways to raise the funds through private donations, a GoFundMe account, help from the YMCA, a youth sports facility grant and possibly a grant through the Snoqualmie Tribe. Money to match the grant must be secured by December 2016 or the city will have to ask for an extension. That will mean postponing bidding for construction of the skate park, which was part of the original master plan of the community center. Grindline, a skate park
design and construction company, was chosen from a field of about a dozen bidders to design the park, Marcinko said. They scored the most points when judged on the criteria of best product, best fit and best dollar value. The Seattle-based company started in 2002 and has built more than 200 parks all over the world, Shapiro said. Carnation’s skate park, about 12 miles north of Snoqualmie, was one of Grindline’s first projects, SEE SKATE PARK, PAGE 3
Felony charges, misdemeanor charges and total arrests by the Snoqualmie Police Department are down significantly from this time last year, Police Chief Jim Schaffer told the North Bend City Council at its July 19 meeting. Schaffer reported on the community’s state of affairs from the first six months of 2016. Many types of crime are down from 2015, while some are up. Licenses for and transfers of pistols have increased significantly, Schaffer said. Incidences of vehicle prowls over the last six months total 19 — up 46 percent from last year. Parking problems are up 34 percent. The 61 car collisions from January through June was a 38 percent increase over last year, while the number of collisions resulting in injuries jumped from three to six this year. Felonies fell by more than half to just 16 this year. Felony drug charges dropped from 15 to 3 this year. There were 151 fewer misdemeanor charges brought this year. Total persons trespassed and total arrests are both down about one-third from last year’s numbers. Concealed pistol licenses obtained in the first 6 months of 2016 rose to 64, up from 38 last year. Pistol transfers nearly doubled from last year, up from 57 to 108. Prsrt Std U.S. Postage PAID Kent, WA Permit No. 71 POSTAL CUSTOMER

City seeks levy lid increase to pay for additional emergency services BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com The November election ballot will include a measure concerning an increase in Snoqualmie’s property taxes. The City Council unanimously approved to include a levy lid lift in order to hire two new police
FESTIVAL From Page 1
An intimate festival Cast and crew from “Twin Peaks” and David Lynch films intermingled with festivalgoers all weekend. The format bares a stark contrast to other fan festivals like ComiCon — where fans are only able to listen to a panel of celebrities talk, then take a quick photograph with them and leave, Lindley said. The celebrity guests have told Lindley they feel the love and friendship emanating at the festival from the moment they arrive. Brad Dukes, who led a tour of filming sites
officers and one new firefighter. Regular property tax rates would increase up to 23 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation to a maximum rate of $2.54 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, according to a City of Snoqualmie news release. Snoqualmie’s popula-
tion growth has spawned the need for more police and fire employees, the City Council contends. During the public comment period, John Duffy, a Snoqualmie resident, asked why the city needed to raise taxes to pay for the emergency services. He said the increase in property tax income from
new residents should pay proportionally for the needed increase in services. Mayor Matt Larson explained that some of the revenue from the new development property taxes has been used to fix historical deficiencies around the city that needed catching up
around the valley, has been flying from his home in Nashville every year to attend the festival since 2008, with the exception of one year. “It bummed me out so bad, so I said I’d ever miss one again,” Dukes said. Outside of mingling with the “Twin Peaks” celebrities at festivals over the years, Dukes interviewed over 100 members of the “Twin Peaks” cast and crew for a blog he started that snowballed into a full book, he said. “Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks” was published in 2014. It includes interesting stories from cast and crew working on the show.
Dukes’ expectations were blown away when the book was mentioned in USA Today and other media. It is set to be published in France and Brazil. Dukes’ love for the show started when he watched it on television at 9 years old. “The mystery was enthralling,” he said. “Agent Cooper and Log Lady — as a kid those characters are so relatable. A straight-laced FBI agent talking to a recorder and a lady carrying a log.” His love for the show was reborn as an adult when he got a computer and internet access, and discovered “Twin Peaks”
message boards, he said. Over the weekend, he led a bus tour to filming sites such as Ronette’s bridge, the mill, the sheriff’s station, the waterfall and more. He said he never gets tired of going to the sites. “It was a magical experience first seeing them,” Dukes said. “Now it’s fun to be a shepherd and show people for first time.”
with. Inflation is also a concern. A majority of city revenue comes from property taxes, Larson said. The inflationary cost of salaries, health care, and other city expenses grows at 2-3 percent per year, while state law restricts cities from increasing property taxes
by more than 1 percent per year. A levy lid lift is the only way to raise taxes to compensate for that inflation. A “pro and con” committee of citizens will draft arguments for and against the levy lid lift. The written statements will be included in the voters’ pamphlet.

City Council approves new flood-plain rules BY STUART MILLER smiller@ snovalleystar.com North Bend residents living in the flood plain have some new regulations to comply with when building structures smaller than 200 square feet. The City Council voted July 19 to approve changes to the floodplain management code in order to bring it into compliance with state and federal regulations. New construction of storage buildings under 200 square feet — a shed, for example — must be anchored to the ground and have vents to allow floodwaters to pass through the structure, said Christina Wollman, planner with Perteet
Inc., a consulting firm contracted through the city. These new structures must also use “wet floodproofed” material like treated wood, plastic and metal if the structure might come into contact with floodwaters, Wollman said. Habitable dwellings like “tiny houses” under 200 square feet must obtain an elevation certification from the city. These structures will need to be above base flood elevation — a height that differs throughout North Bend. The new changes to the floodplain management code ensure that North Bend residents will stay eligible for federal discounts to flood insurance rates.
SKATE PARK From Page 1
Shapiro said. The park is a large skate bowl that attracts skaters from far away places for its well-known quality. Grindline is also the designer of a yet-to-be-built new skate park in Issaquah. Community design Snoqualmie Ridge’s skate park will have a snake-run-type bowl as well as street-skating features. The current design plans for an 8-foot-deep bowl that waterfalls up to 4 and 5-footdeep sections, Shapiro said. There will be concrete pool coping in the deep end and standard metal coping in shallower areas. Street features will include ledges, a flat bar, handrail, two hubbas, manual pad, and a kicker gap. An open-ended bowl and quarter pipe will serve as a return for the street features. Thanks to input from the community, the park will feature a mix of features for all ages and abilities. The Snoqualmie Valley Rotary Club helped put together and fund multiple community input meetings during the design phase, Marcinko said. Grindline was introduced as the designer at the first meeting, and received input from community members about what features they wanted in the park. After designing
a preliminary concept, Shapiro presented it to a group of 25 or 30 people at the next community meeting, he said. The current design reflects the input from those community meetings. Community input is an important part of designing modern skate parks. Many skate parks built in the late 90s and early 2000s were designed and built by people who did not skateboard, Shapiro said. The result? Skaters asking, “Why is this dead end here? Why does this end in a wall? I can’t get enough speed to get up there,” Shapiro said. A lot of money gets spent on these dysfunctional skate parks, he said. Local need North Bend’s skate park at Torguson Park is one of those dysfunctional parks. “Grindline started because of skate parks like North Bend,” Shapiro said. It is also the only skate park within 10 miles of Snoqualmie Ridge. Issaquah’s current skate park is a 15-minute freeway drive from the Ridge, while Carnation’s skate park is 20 minutes on the highway. Those are long distances for younger skaters without drivers’ licenses. The skate park in North Bend, less than 7 miles away, is the easiest to get to without an

engine. Torguson skate park strangely has no coping on any of the quarter pipes or transition, even in the “cereal-bowl” style skate bowl there. The steep ramps discourage novice and experienced skaters alike. Awkwardly placed features discourage a continuity of flow throughout the park. Skaters in Snoqualmie Ridge have been using the basketball court next to the community center as an impromptu skate park, Shapiro said. While providing well-designed terrain for skating, the skate park on the Ridge will also provide a common gathering spot for local skaters. “I think it will pull the kids together,” Marcinko said. “It will give them somewhere to call their own.” The parks department hopes to bid out construction of the project in late fall 2016 or early spring 2017. The process will include another point-awarding process to bidders, scoring them on quality of product, best fit for community, and best dollar value, Marcinko said. Grindline’s local reputation and worldwide success may factor into that decision. “We always love to build our own designs,” Shapiro said. “We’ll definitely be bidding on it.”

Valley View
A tip of the helmet to park designers BY STUART MILLER smiller@snovalleystar.com
When I opened an email containing the designs for the skate park at Snoqualmie Ridge, I did exactly what I would have done as a teenager — I pictured myself skating it. I immediately began imagining which lines I would skate first, what tricks I thought I could do on which ledges and rails, and judging how intimidating certain parts would be. Would I make it over the gap on my first try? Would I have the guts to ollie the 8-stair? Could I handle the speed and power in the deep end of the bowl? The answer is probably “no” for most of those questions. But I cannot wait to find out in real life. I’m sure many kids and kids-at-heart will be doing the same thing I did when they get a peek at the new skate park designs. There is something that does not leave a skate-
boarder, even when they stop skating. Growing up skateboarding around the Eastside, I experienced Stuart Miller my fair share of difficulties. There was no skate park in my neighborhood. My friends and I would search out curbs, banks, stairs, ledges — whatever we could find to skate on. If we were lucky, we could get dropped off at a skate park in a neighboring town for the day. Eventually a very small, and rather unimpressive, skate “court” was built a couple miles from my home. It became the epicenter of skateboarding and social activity for local skaters. After school in the winter, we would bring towels with us to dry melting frost from the concrete. In the summer, it was a given — meet at the skate park midday. No need for a text or phone call. It was our park. I’m glad that

Snoqualmie skaters will have a place like that. Employing a youth committee of local skaters was an important step in designing the Ridge skate park. I was fortunate enough to participate in the design phases of my local park growing up. It made a huge difference. We ended up with a small but very skateable park. We could have ended up with a North Bend skate park situation if skaters hadn’t been involved in the design process. North Bend’s skate park is a travesty, a lumpy waste of concrete. But I digress. Hats off to Grindline for the incredible design job. They design and build the best parks I’ve ever skated. Also, congratulations to Snoqualmie’s Parks and Recreation Department, the Snoqualmie Valley Rotary Club, the youth design committee and all entities involved with this design process. It is an exciting thought that this skate park could soon be a reality.

A $5.52 million court settlement against the Department of Social and Health Services was reached July 20 in a case involving neglect and abuse of a disabled teen by a former North Bend couple.

King County Sheriff’s Office detectives and DSHS rescued the 19-year-old Curtis from the Hendersons’ North Bend home in 2012. Curtis was emaciated and covered in filth. Doc Williams, Curtis’ courtappointed guardian since 2013, brought the lawsuit against DSHS. The Hendersons served nine months of home detention for criminal mistreatment of Heather Curtis.
