City facing $8 million budget hole by 2018 Administration recommends revenue-generating ideas By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Spring break!

Spring arrived just in time for spring break this year as warmer temperatures and blue skies greeted kids around Renton just in time for a week off of school.

Despite positive signs that the city is coming out of the Great Recession, there’s even larger financial troubles ahead on the horizon unless something is done now. That was the message during a discussion on financial sustainability Monday at the City Council’s Committee of the Whole meeting in which administration officials told the City Council that they need to make a decision this year to avoid a deficit of $8 million by 2018. “We’re going to need direction from you soon,” said City Administrator Jay Covington. Renton administration officials are recommending the council investigate a local Business and Occupation tax on businesses, [ more Budget page 10 ]

10,000 runners expected at Seahawks 12k this weekend at The Landing By TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

Renton will host about 10,000 runners this Saturday as part of the Seahawks 12k Run 2014 at The Landing. This is the fifth annual Seahawks 12k in Renton and twice as many people are registered. Organizers speculate the increase is because of

the team’s Super Bowl win earlier this year. “The Seahawks winning the Super Bowl has many people excited about participating in this race,” said Jeff Orswell of Orswell Events, who is the special-event producer contracted by The Landing. The race begins and ends at The Landing, with some of the course around the Seahawks training facility,

the Virginia Mason Athletic Center or VMAC. The event also includes the GLOW 5k Run/Walk, touring The Landing and the Seahawks Play 60 Half-Mile Kids Run, which is completely contained within The Landing grounds. There will be 6,000 new parking stalls added this year to accommodate race-goers. There will also be more kids’ activities and attractions, including an inflatable trophy. Seahawks players are expected to be at the water station located near the Runners show their Seahawks pride during last year’s event.

panels engraved with the names. All of the names will remain in the same locations they are now. The new plaques will be placed right on top of the current marble face. According to the City, the existing marble plaques have experienced leaching of the grout material from behind the plaques where they were affixed to the wall. In order to remedy the cracked and stained plaques and permanently improve the appearance of the memorial wall, the new panels will be installed.

The park was dedicated in 2003 with nearly 2,000 etched marble plaques placed over the memorial’s concrete walls. But almost immediately, the panels began to deteriorate due to the leaching. Crews spend two weeks each year prior to Memorial Day and again prior to Veterans Day to clean the tiles, but within days they again begin to show signs of leaching. Once the new granite panels are installed, maintenance will consist of using a wet sponge to wipe off the panels, which should last for decades. There is still some leaching expected with the new panels, but officials said the cleaning effort will be minimal for city staff. The restoration is projected to cost $148,000 and is being paid through the Renton Community Foundation’s Custer Fund. There are presently about 2,000 names on the city’s memorial wall. City staff is also organizing a new layout system and database to allow the public to search for the location of a specific plaque on the memorial. Renovations are set to begin April 17 and are expected to be completed by mid-May. The city’s Memorial Day Celebration is scheduled for 1 p.m. May 26 at the park. For more information or to apply for a plaque, visit www.rentonwa.gov. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425-255-3484, ext. 5050

LIFE IN THE CITY

“Why do you have my name on a piece of paper in your backpack?” a woman asked outside Liberty Café in downtown Renton. I was headed inside my favorite coffee shop in Renton for a “Mike Special” and a chat with my editor, Brian Beckley. My kids poke fun at my writing process. Whenever I have a story idea I jot it down on a piece of paper in what appears to them as indecipherable chicken scratch. Any paper inside the house is fair game: homework, one of my 20 working notebooks, whatever’s at hand when I’m inspired will do. That morning inspiration struck perusing Facebook and waiting for my son’s toast to pop up. I saw a picture of a woman in the hospital holding her newborn baby on a Facebook group that I belong to called Renton Moms. Renton Moms has more than 420 members. The group’s purpose is “for all Renton Moms looking for answers, recommendations or wanting to share resources related to Renton.” One of the subscribers, Amanda Liddle, posted, “Ashley Heston’s Virtual Baby Shower: Help this homeless young mother get back on her feet!” The thought of a homeless pregnant woman living on the streets of Renton was gut wrenching, but worse than that, what would happen after she had the baby? My thumb scrolled down the screen and my heart began to lift at the sight of mom-after-mom offering to help Ashley, someone they had never met before. So I snagged an envelope and a nubby pencil from our bill drawer and scrawled out: Amanda Liddle, Ashley Heston’s Virtual Baby Shower. “Amanda Liddle?” I said, holding out the envelope with her name on it. I explained to Amanda outside of Liberty Café that I wanted to learn more about the virtual baby shower, what was going on with the new mom and what she thought about the huge response to help. The next day I met Amanda at her Renton Highlands home. As we waited for Ashley and her baby to join us, we chatted a bit. “Tell me how you came to put that posting on Renton Moms?” I asked as we sat in the dining room table of her

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

“Bottom line, we need more money.“ Renton City Councilmember Greg Taylor on an $8 million budget shortfall in the years ahead

Here’s the line in the sand: City needs power I love being the editor of the newspaper in the city in which I live. I love being able to focus all of my energies on the issues that actually affect my life and my family instead of filling my brain with information about the happenings of some other town, maybe in a county over, perhaps at the expense of following my local news. I love getting out in the community and talking to residents and readers, volunteers and newsmakers. I even, generally speaking, enjoy going to the City Council meetings every week. The only problem is that as a reporter and the editor of the paper, as someone who is sitting in the back working as an objective, professional journalist, I cannot speak my mind at the podium in front of the council. I know I live here too and I know my voice and my opinion is at least as valid as any other resident’s. It’s just that it isn’t done. It’s kind of frowned upon professionally. But sometimes it’s harder than others to hold my tongue. This Puget Sound Energy “Energize Eastside” issue, for example. As a person who lives in the city and is hoping to raise a family here, I have to say there are some dangerous – and generally silly – ideas, half-truths and pure ridiculousness going around about this plan. My main concern is the idea put forth by a city councilmember literally talking about leaving Renton out of PSE’s plan to upgrade transmissions lines in preparation for the future. Since he first said it, the idea has been picked up in the echo chamber of the council’s public comment portion of its meetings. Enough is enough, they say. The growth is all up north, they say (conveniently ignoring Renton’s growth and instead focusing on larger growth elsewhere). Leave us alone, they say. In my opinion, this is dangerous bordering on dumb. This councilmember is literally saying “No, please do not update our infrastructure for future growth. Please leave Renton in the 1960s while the rest of the region/state/country is preparing for the 21st century.” And this is a councilmember I generally respect and trust. One who knows what he is talking about and is secure enough in his seat not to have to pander to a particular election block. But can you think of anything – ANYTHING – that hasn’t been upgraded in the past 50 years? Think of all the electronic devices in your house today. How many of them were there in the 1960s? Multiple televisions, computers, DVRs, cable boxes, video game systems, tablets, smartphones? All of those things use power and have become standard in homes since the power grid was built in this region. Now multiply all of that by a factor of five, Brian Beckley

EDITOR’S NOTE

OPINION

[6] April 11, 2014

Keep transmission lines away from our children

Letter to the editor

Upon reading Brian Beckley’s article “PSE’s plan to ‘Energize Eastside’ looking at two possible routes through Renton” (Renton Reporter, March 10, 2014), I was alarmed by the apparent “voice” in favor of Route M over Route L. Route M requires constructing the new 230kv transmission line on or adjacent to several schools. Route M would impact, among others, high school and other students at Renton Technical, infants and toddlers at Highlands Preschool, grade school students at Sierra Heights Elementary, and more infants and toddlers at New Life Montessori. In contrast, Route L does not appear to pass on or adjacent to any school. Although PSE’s EMF brochure states “research has not established that exposure to power frequency EMF causes adverse health effects,” it identifies “EMF exposure limits.” Identifying exposure limits acknowledges that power frequency EMF generates a risk

which is how much this area’s population has grown since that system was built. It’s insane to think that the system does not need upgrading. Worse than that, it’s willfully dumb. It’s purposefully putting Renton’s head in the sand. Renton, a city that prides itself as “Ahead of the Curve,” where Boeing just increased production of the world’s most popular aircraft to a record shattering 42 airplanes per month. No, that increase won’t require additional electricity either. Meanwhile, the very same councilmember is concerned that Interstate 405 is not big enough to handle the increases in population and usage since it was first built. Interestingly enough, the first section of I-405 was opened right around the same time as the

of harm and reduces the debate to what exposure is harmful. The risk has prompted a growing number of communities, states and nations to restrict locating power transmission lines near schools. I urge caution against permitting PSE to build additional high voltage transmission lines on and adjacent to so many schools in our community when there exists an option – Route L – that does not impact any school. I am the parent of a child that may attend Sierra Heights Elementary. I ask that PSE not assume the liability of risking the health of my child, the health of other children attending schools along Route M, and the health of the innumerable number of children that will attend schools along Route M. I agree this process is distasteful. In offering the option of Route L or Route M, PSE is pitting more than just neighborhood against neighborhood. PSE is pitting lake views against the lives of school children. Where are our values?

Paul Gilmartin, Renton transmission lines we’re talking about. And it’s been upgraded since then. And it’s still not big enough because the population and usage keeps growing. Think about that: the highway built at the same time as the power grid needs upgrading to deal with the population, but the power grid doesn’t? What kind of message does that send to any business looking to move to or upgrade a facility in this city? Frankly, if I was looking to open a new business, I’d make sure to base it in a city that is primed for growth, not trying to hold it back. Now, don’t get me wrong, I too am not at all thrilled with how PSE has handled this whole deal. Personally, I would have preferred them [ more EDITOR page 7 ]

[ editor from page 6] to simply replace the current lines with the new lines and then say “Oh, by the way, we just upgraded the system for the 21st Century. You’re welcome.” Why they didn’t do that, I’ll never know. I mean, they can. It’s their lines, it’s their land and it’s their responsibility as a power provider to make sure the lights stay on. And honestly, most of us probably would have just looked up and gone, “Hey, new towers. What’s for dinner?” Instead, PSE has set up this ridiculous false choice of either replacing the lines where they presently stand or adding new 100-foot transmission towers along Lake Washington (while leaving the old ones in place anyway, we learned this week). Now who in their right mind wants those towers along the lake? Even the people who live near the “M” route have said the lake route is unacceptable (with the possible exception of this week’s letterwriter). And I feel for the folks along the “M” Route, I really do, but it seems to me that considering the lines were installed 50 years ago, most if not all of the people presently living near the lines moved in with the lines there. If you move next to a PSE right-of-way with powerlines on it, I am not sure you can complain too much when PSE wants to put powerlines there again. Now, there are many other issues surrounding this project that I may or may not weigh in on in the future. But that’s not what this column is about. This column is about the fact that this needs to be done for the future of this city and its residents. So please, councilmembers: Stop telling PSE to leave us out of their plans. Just because a handful of the same people show up every week to complain does not mean the other 95,000 people in the city agree with them. Let’s make sure Renton is poised to remain a major player in the 21st Century and upgrade our infrastructure. We can talk about the details later (we have all year), but let’s at least stop asking the future to pass us by. Either that or we have to start working on a new city slogan.

Skyway Fire sends gloves to Detroit King County Fire District 20 (Skyway Fire) has joined a national effort to provide assistance to the Detroit Fire Department. Detroit Fire Mutual Aid is a nationwide call and response of individuals, fire departments, organizations and corporations with one common goal; to put life-saving equipment in the hands of Detroit’s Bravest who respond to the highest number of working structure calls in the nation. Last month the firefight-

ers of KCFD 20 sent 37 pairs of gloves for each firefighter on Engine 50, Ladder 23 and Chief 9. “Our badges are different, but the purpose is the same when we respond to the needs of our citizens,” Dave Nelson, Skyway Fire public information officer said in an email. Just last week Detroit senior firefighter Dave Miller emailed the fire district saying, “Detroit is going through some really tough times” and thanked the firefighters for the

donation. Each firefighter also received a Challenge Coin from both the Fire Union and the Volunteer Firefighter Association. The coin is a symbol of brotherhood or sisterhood in the fire service. The fire district worked with Seattle company L.N. Curtis and Sons, a local fire equipment store with the cost of the gloves. More information on Detroit Fire Mutual Aid is available at http://www. detroitmutualaid.com.

cation within our community to help the homeless and wanted to know her motivation. “Last year I wasn’t working and I needed help. Now that I’m working I have skills and have the power. I know a lot of people,” she said, adding that she has 500 friends on Facebook. Shannon is already planning the next free haircut event. It will be held again at the Salvation Army building on Tobin on June 7. When I sat down to write this column I begin as I always do searching around the house, minivan, backpack, notebooks collecting my scribbles on the scraps of paper. These pieces of paper are like bread crumbs that help lead me toward a story. On the counter the pieces begin to take shape: Shannon Armstrong free haircutting for the homeless; The Refuge; Amanda Liddle, Ashley Heston’s Virtual Baby Shower; Renton Salvation Army; Harambee; Renton Moms. And yet, the story doesn’t always line up exactly the way that I want —there’s not always a happy ending. At the moment, it is unclear if Ashley will stay at the Highlands House longterm. But the pieces are a part of a larger story that has to do with the people that make up the community of Renton. So this story, like my notes, turned out to be a collection of people doing good for others in our community. My weekend tracking the fate of a homeless mother served as a reminder and a revelation to all the good that goes on in our city everyday.

nior Marcus Milyko said in the release of his role as the mute King Sextimus. Princess Winnifred is strong, vivacious, and, to the dismay of Queen Aggravain, played by senior Hailey Gumm, a moatswimmer. “I like that [my character] Winnifred isn’t afraid to be herself,” said Olivia George, a senior. “She can get down and dirty, wrestle around, be as unladylike as possible and still blush when it comes to a boy compli-

menting her.” Prince Dauntless the Drab is the boy, a role being shared by juniors Lorrin Hunt and Jason Jarman, whose domineering queen mother will do anything to keep him from marrying. The entire kingdom is distressed, since no one may wed until the prince finds a bride. Senior Eric SpradlingReim received honorable mention in The Fifth Avenue Awards for outstanding actor in a supporting

He returns to the Liberty stage this spring as the Minstrel, and together with the Jester, are among those coming to Princess “Fred’s” aid as she prepares for the queen’s test.

Pregnant woman arrested

[ budget from page 1]

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Conflicting stories led to the arrest March 27 of a 20-yearold Renton woman, who is seven months pregnant, for felony domestic violence. She called 911 to report that the father of her child had pushed her into a coffee table as they argued, after forcing his way into her apartment. She wasn’t sure how she got the cut on her finger. Meanwhile, after a foot chase that started at the transit center downtown, the 19-year-old boyfriend was arrested. He had a stab wound to his shoulder and elbow; he was treated at Valley Medical Center. He told an officer he had spent the night, at her request. They argued and struggled and she threw things at him. He said she pulled a knife on him. He left when she went into the kitchen to get a bigger knife. Because of the conflicting stories and the Renton man’s stab wounds, the woman was booked into the King County Jail for felony investigation of domestic violence assault. Probable cause existed to arrest him for obstructing an officer. He’s a convicted felon with a history of fleeing from police.

Lawn mower stolen; suspect escapes A Renton man walked into his backyard at about 6 p.m. March 21 after mowing his front lawn. He walked back a few minutes later and his $500 lawn mower was gone. The theft was captured on closed-circuit TV, which showed [ more blotter page 11]

pursue a Fire Authority/Fire Benefit Charge option and put together a capital package to send to voters as soon as possible to prevent what Covington called “Major changes in how we deliver services.” Administrative Services Administrator Iwen Wang began the discussion with the good news, telling the council that the city finally appeared to be back where it was prior to the recession hitting in late 2007. “Renton’s economy is actually improving,” she said. “Overall, the community is doing better.” According to Wang, taxable sales in the city are now back to where they were in 2008 after a severalyear dip. In addition, residential building permits, though nowhere near their early 2000s peak, have shown growth back to 2008 levels and Renton’s unemployment rate has dropped from a high of 9.2 percent in 2009 to 4.53 percent in 2013. Wang also detailed city efforts during the recession, including a cumulative reduction in city staffing of more than 101 positions since 2009, or 13.2 percent. However, even with the reductions, which officials said leaves many critical positions with only a

single person doing the job, Wang said the city continues to see a “structural deficit” due to annual expenditure growth of between 3.5 percent and 5 percent and a revenue growth of only 2.5 percent. “It’s going up much faster than our income,” Council President Robert Persson agreed. According to Covington, further efficiencies will not be enough to fill the projected hole in the budget. “The low-hanging fruit has been plucked,” he said. As another indicator of how the city is falling behind, Wang and Covington pointed to a graph that showed residents today paying $300 less per capita in taxes than in 2000, despite an increase in population during the same time frame of nearly 45,000 people. For city coffers, that drop in per capita taxes comes to $7.6 million. Among the possibilities to increase revenue in the city, the administration is recommending a B&O tax. Cities in Washington have the opportunity to create a B&O tax of up to 0.2 percent and thus far, 40 cities in the state and 12 in King County, including Bellevue, Kent and Issaquah, have added the tax to their books. In Renton, officials estimate that a tax of 0.1 percent could raise $3

1. Almost any problem involving the eye should be seen right away. Glaucoma, corneal ulcers, and foreign bodies beneath the eyelids are very serious and may lead to permanent blindness. 2. Profuse vomiting is another sign that needs immediate attention. It does not take very long for a pet, particularly a small one to become dangerously dehydrated. 3. Difficulty breathing is also a problem that should not wait. Difficulty breathing may be a severe cough, but more commonly it is exaggerated effort in breathing, with pets often using their abdominal muscles to help them breathe. 4. If there is active hemorrhage, of course, the pet needs to be seen by a veterinarian right away. If there are just a few drops of blood from a minor wound, it is probably OK to wait for your regular veterinarian. 5. If your pet has its first seizure, particularly if it lasts more that a couple of minutes, should be examined immediately. 6. If your pet ingests a toxin, particularly antifreeze, they should be taken to the emergency hospital as soon as possible. The doctor may induce vomiting to try to eliminate the absorption of the toxin, so time is important. 7. If your pet is pregnant, and is having difficulty having the babies, it should see the emergency veterinarian. If sever, this problem may require an emergency caesarean section. Of course, there are many other problems that pets can have. If you need advice on whether your pet’s symptoms should have immediate attention, call your Veterinarian or the local Emergency Hospital for advice. They will be happy to discuss your pet and their problem.

million to $6 million per year and the cost would be born entirely by the business sector. The city is also recommending the council explore the option of creating a Fire Authority and, or a Fire District Benefit Charge. Such a move would require 60 percent voter approval and is estimated to cost households an additional $20 per month. The administration is also recommending the council put together a capital facilities bond to send to voters as well to make needed repairs to or replacement of aging city facilities. The bond would also require a 60 percent approval by voters. No decision was made Monday, but the council agreed to place the matter on an upcoming Committee of the Whole agenda to discuss the issue and possibilities further. However, the gravity of the situation was not lost on the council. “Either we find a way to increase our revenue to provide the same level of service … or reduce services to the public,” Persson said. “Bottom line,” added Councilman Greg Taylor, “we need more money.”

Hazen Highlanders announce new football coach Hazen High School this past week announced David Kilpatrick-White as its new head football coach pending School Board approval. Coach Kilpatrick-White joins the Highlanders from the staff at Bothell High School. Prior to his three years at Bothell, Kilpatrick-White spent two seasons as the quarterback and defensive back coach at Ballard High School. Kilpatrick-White is eager to get started and continue the progress that Hazen football has shown over the past few years under the leadership of Drew Oliver.

ponent 6-3, 6-0. Third singles player Ashely Hwang had a little more trouble, dropping her first set before rallying to a 3-6, 6-2, 10-8 match win. In fourth singles play, Catherine Lin fell 4-6, 1-6. In doubles, the first team of Kitty Ling and Kristy Huynh had trouble getting it going and lost their match 1-6, 4-6 while Gabbie Solis and Amy Hunyh losy 3-6, 1-6 and Katherine Eng and Arden Phu dropped their match 2-6, 6-7 (2-7). This past Friday, the Highlanders survived a scare from the Lindbergh team but ultimately won the match 4-3. The Lindbergh girls tennis team gave Hazen a scare this past Friday; but in the end the Highlanders kept their undefeated season going with a 4-3 win. [ more Tennis page 15 ]

“Thanks to the hard work of Coach Oliver and the dedicated staff at Hazen HS and the amazing kids, the Highlanders are on a solid foundation,” Kilpatrick-White said in a press release. “We are very excited to get to the work of becoming great underway!” Hazen Assistant Principal/Athletic Director Ed Crow said he is looking forward to working with Kilpatrick-White. “Coach Kilpatrick-White is an excellent fit for Hazen. His desire for his team to exhibit excellence both on the field and in the classroom is

exactly what we are looking for in a head coach in all of our sports,” Crow said, adding that Kilpatrick-White understands and embraces that his role is to be a teacher of both the game itself but more importantly be a teacher of each young man in the program. “We believe he’ll be an innovator on the field and motivator of our student athletes,” Crow said. “His goal for each player to reach his potential on the field, in the classroom, and in life in general connects well with Hazen’s motto of Pride, Unity, and Achievement.”

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

Hazen beats Lindbergh in extra innings By Brian Beckley bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Junior Nolan Hoover picked up the game-winning hit in the bottom of the eighth inning on Friday as the Hazen Highlanders beat the Lindbergh Eagles 4-3 Friday in extra innings. Hazen jumped on Lindbergh starter Enrique Martinez early, picking up a run in the first. But the Eagles answered back in the third with two runs of their own off Hazen starter Drew Santana to take a 2-1 lead. In the bottom of the third, the Highlanders posted two runs of their own, however, to retake the lead 3-2. The score stayed that way until the top of the sixth when Lindbergh tied it up. In the bottom of the eighth, Lindbergh reliever Ryan Hoover plunked senior Zack Hill to give Hazen a baserunner right off the bat. Junior Ryan Gayte then laid down a bunt, advancing Hill to second and giving

the Highlanders two men on with no one out. Junior Eli Azcueta then bunted into a fielder’s choice and Hill was forced out at third base , though Gayte advanced to second on the play. Senior J. Crosby then hit a fly ball to deep right for the second out of the inning. With two out and two men on, Nolan Hoover cranked a single to left field, scoring Gayte to win the game. Neither starter got the decision. Santana finished with six innings pitched, having given up three runs, all of them earned, on six hits with five strikeouts and zero walks for the Highlanders. Lindbergh’s Enrique Martinez countered with seven innings, three hits, one earned run, eight strikeouts and three walks. Ryan Hoover picked up the loss for the Eagles. He finished with 2/3 inning pitched, two hits and one earned run.

Mitchell Hard got the win for Hazen for his two scoreless innings of relief work. On Monday, the Highlanders headed to Kennedy Catholic to take on the league-leading Lancers. Hill and Isaiah Potter each went 2-for-3 for Hazen on Monday against the Lancers, but it wasn’t enough as the Highlanders fell 3-1. Gayte took the loss for Highlanders. He pitched the full six innings, walked two, gave up nine hits, struck out none, and allowed three runs, two of them earned. The second inning saw Highlanders score its only run of the day on an RBI single by Azcueta. Hazen moves to 4-5 overall, 4-2 in the Seamount with the win. Lindbergh beat Renton 30-1 on Monday and sits at 4-3 overall and 4-2 in the league. Reach Editor Brian Beckley at 425255-3484, ext. 5050

Hazen tennis beats Lindbergh but suffers first loss [ tennis from page 12]

According to coach Gail Ellis, the Eagles jumped out to a 3-1 lead after the first round of play. In first singles, Lindbergh’s Liezel Villanueva bested Hazen’s Takami 6-2, 6-0 and the first doubles team of Mint Pearyoo and Jessica Tiamzon beat Hazen’s Ling and Kristy Huynh 6-4, 6-4. In second singles, Lindbergh picked up another victory as Sharleen Garcia and Colette Perry won a tight one 7-6 (7-3), 6-3. But Hazen came roaring back. In third doubles, the team of Eng and Phu topped Kate Hebbeler and Angie Thai 6-2, 7-5 while in second singles, Wong rallied from a first set blanking to defeat Myranda Dang 0-6, 6-2, 10-6. In fourth singles Lin beat Lindbergh’s Christina Chanthavong 6-2, 6-2 to tie the overall match at 3-3.

According to Ellis, it all came down to the evening’s final match-up at third singles. Hazen’s Hwang took the first set, but Lindbergh’s Bonnie Yip battled to a second-set victory, setting up a third-set tiebreaker eventually won by Hwang for a 7-5, 4-6, 10-8 line. Hazen moves to 4-1 overall and in league. The Highlanders played Tyee on Tuesday, but the scores were not available by press time. Lindbergh, who beat Renton 4-3 on Monday moved to 4-2 overall and in league. Lindbergh played Highline Tuesday. Scores were not available by press time.

VMAC, along the race course. The race will also collect donations on behalf of and help raise money for A Better Seattle, an organization that works to reduce Seattle area youth and gang violence. The race will have a combined start, with the 12k starting at 9 a.m. and the 5k at 9:20 a.m., in wave starts. The race website details the street closures that will happen throughout North Renton on Saturday for the race. Last year there were 5,000 finishers. There will be an awards ceremony for the top three male and female finishers. Post-race raffle prizes include signed memorabilia, tickets to a game and a signed football. For the first time, a local organizer is also collecting food at the race to help the Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank and the REACH Center of Hope. David Murphy, of Renton’s Victoria Park neighborhood, has put together the “12th Can Food Drive” in conjunction with the event. Murphy, who has a background in the hospitality market, started doing food drives as a competition between neighborhoods during the City of Renton’s summer community picnics. Last year, the effort brought in 1,300 pounds of food. Murphy tracked the collection on Facebook so neighborhoods could see how much they were contributing. He won’t track race attendees’ donations on Saturday, but hopes that people will remember to bring donations and give generously. “People come together to have fun and commit time and effort to support our neighbors in need, which builds healthy communities and is extremely heartening for everyone involved,” Murphy said in a press release. “We are also honored to be associated with the Seahawks, especially now with a great season behind us and another on our doorstep.” The Salvation Army Renton Rotary Food Bank has been experiencing very low numbers of food items in recent months. The center is down between 25,000 to 26,000 pounds of food. “We’ve seen a significant decrease in the last few months,” said Beverly Storey, director of social services for the Renton Salvation Army. “I’m assuming it’s because the holidays are over, but people are still hungry.” Murphy contacted the food bank with his idea of attaching a drive to the race. “I think it’s absolutely fantastic; I just love how the citizens of Renton want to help,” said Storey. “This a great way to do it.” Murphy is hoping to inspire people to bring food through the help of the Seahawks’ notoriety at the race. He’s enlisted the help of the football organization, The Landing merchants and the Grand Hyatt that have all contributed prizes to a raffle.
