Police in Renton arrested 11 men last week for commercial exploitation of a minor during a sting at a Renton hotel called “Operation Cold Shower.” The 11 men range in age from 20 to 45, come from cities all around Puget Sound including Renton, Bellevue, Seattle, Auburn and Lynnwood and have all been charged with felony commercial exploitation of a minor. The operation, which took place July 9 and 10, was headed by Officer Bryan Elliott of the Renton Special Operations Division and Special Enforcement team. “This has been something as a police department we have been talking about for quite a while,” Elliott said Tuesday. Elliott said the operation came after the mayor, police chief and city administrator attended special presentation [ more STING page 15 ]

Public Hospital District No. 1 will ask the state Supreme Court to hear its challenge to the strategic alliance between UW Medicine and Valley Medical Center. A majority of the district’s commissioners had asked for a special meeting to decide whether to pursue the district’s challenge, following a state Court of Appeals ruling June 23 that the alliance is legal. But Dr. Paul Joos, president of the district’s Board of Commissioners, told fellow commissioners Tuesday night that on July 3, he authorized attorney Phil Talmadge to file a brief with the Supreme Court, asking for the review. Two commissioners, Barbara Drennen and Carolyn Parnell, questioned why other board members weren’t given a chance to make the decision. “It would be more fair if all three of us had a say,” said Parnell.

The IKEA corporation last week filed papers with the city to build a brand new, two-story store on the site of its current Renton store. The current store will be demolished when construction is complete. The new store will be built in part of the current parking area, with the older store ultimately being demolished to allow for more parking. Until the new, updated store opens, customers can continue to shop at the existing Renton
store. IKEA is shooting for fall 2016 as an opening date. The 398,000-square-foot current store was built in 1994. It was the first U.S. franchise for the Swedish retailer and is located on 29 acres in Renton’s southern, industrial and commercial section. Built in 1979, the original, single-level structure previously had been utilized as a warehouse for aerospace electronics until IKEA converted it to be a retail store in October 1994. The

The shooting occurred at about 3:50 a.m. Sunday in the 12600 block of Renton Avenue South. At least four citizens called 911 to report hearing gunshots, which also were heard by deputies patrolling nearby, according to Sgt. DB Gates. Deputies arrived within minutes to find that the crowd was scattering.
“Detectives processed the scene and attempted to interview witnesses and victims but have not had much cooperation from anyone,” said Gates. There is no known motive for the shootings, but detectives suspect it was gang-related, according to Gates. The investigation is continuing.

NEW RED LIGHT CAMERA GOING IN
The City of Renton is adding an additional Red Light Photo Enforcement Camera at the intersection of Southeast 176th Street at Benson Road South/108th Avenue Southeast. An analysis of this intersection found that on average, 47 vehicles failed to stop for the red traffic control signal during a twenty-four hour period. A 30-day warning period will begin on Aug. 1, during which time the registered owner of a vehicle running the red light will receive a warning citation in the mail. But beginning Sept. 1, the registered owner of a vehicle photographed for failing to comply with the red traffic control light will receive a citation for $124.00. These violations are not recorded by the Washington State Department of Licensing. Similar to a parking ticket, the registered owner is responsible for the violation and fine resulting from running a red light.
Rieger looks back at first year as superintendent BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
One year in and Renton School District Superintendent Merri Rieger says she’s learned a lot and enjoyed the experience she’s gained from serving Renton schools and the community. The Renton Reporter asked Rieger to reflect on her first year leading Renton schools and these were her responses: 1. What has stood out the most about the district in terms of its difference to others where you have served? The Renton Community and its many partnerships with Renton Schools is truly amazing. The support each of our community partners, services groups, city governments, businesses, foundations and faith-based organizations is so important to ensuring our students get quality learning experiences and opportunities inside and outside of the classroom. The collaboration between each of the partners is what is really impressive. So many working together to support students, families and staff! Because of this strong community support, our district is able to offer extended learning and support opportunities after school and throughout the summer. 2. What unique challenges does the Renton School District have? I’m not sure there are specific unique challenges for Renton School District that our neighboring districts may not also be experiencing. What I do see, are opportunities to learn from the
Superintendent Merri Rieger takes questions from McKnight Middle School students during her first year in the district. PHOTO COURTESY OF RENTON SCHOOL DISTRICT rich diverseness of the families and students we serve. I believe diversity is a strength and brings a richness to the learning for every student and adult. Through increasing outreaching to and learning from our families and students we can strengthen our actions and strategies to ensure that every child has access to learning at high levels. 3. What have you been able to accomplish or start this first year in office? Learning more deeply about the Renton School community and all the resources available to support the Vision of the district: High quality instruction and learning for EVERY child, EVERY day, in EVERY classroom and environ-
ment. As a learning community, we are continually analyzing our data and what actions we are taking that is resulting in increased student achievement. The commitment of staff to continually explore how we might expand those successful actions to reach even more students across the district. There is a great team of educational professionals working throughout the Renton School system to support students and families grow and succeed. 4. What do you hope to get to next year? I am looking forward to continuing our work to support teachers and principals and support staff in the implementation of Common Core and Next Generation State Standards. I am looking forward to
successfully implementing free Full Day Kindergarten in every elementary school. I am looking forward to continuing our work to support learners who need additional time and/or different instructional strategies to master core learning skills and standards. I am also looking forward to the continued commitment of staff to ensure learners who are meeting standards have avenues and options to accelerate their learning. And finally, I am looking forward to continuing and expanding our community, business, government and post high school career partnerships. 5. Do you have a favorite memory or activity that you participated in this past year? There are so many memories that I hold as “favorites” – the bus drivers doing their safety checks and heading out at the break of dawn on the first day of school, watching teachers bring learning alive for their students, seeing the excitement and joy on student’s faces as they share what they are learning, seeing our graduates walk across the graduation stage, seeing the pride on parents and family members faces as they watch their child perform both in the classroom and through co-curricular experiences, the pride our nutrition services and custodial team members take in making sure our students have clean and safe places to learn and nutritional meals to fuel their bodies, watching community members mentor students, provide supplies and dictionaries, and so much more. I just can’t pick one favorite memory.
New, healthier school menus proving popular BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com
Students in the Renton School District may be eating healthier, according to the administration. Kira Acker, district nutrition services and warehouse manager, reports that paid
meals consumption is increasing in the high schools after a nutrition transformation in the district about four years ago. That change put digital menu boards in all the schools, healthier items on the menu and educational tools in place to teach proper nutrition.
“I think that we’ve changed,” said Acker. “We wanted to try and upgrade and update the look, kind of create more of a feel of what kids are seeing out in markets and restaurants. That sort of thing to make it more appealing.” The difference seems to

ARISE in need of volunteers to make lunches BY TRACEY COMPTON traceycompton@rentonreporter.com
Ruth Johnson has always been in the service of something or another she says, whether she was working or not. Presently, the 68-year-old is the volunteer manager for the Area of Renton Interfaith Shelter Endeavor, or ARISE, which is a rotating shelter for homeless men. The organization is experiencing a shortage of volunteers right now and is asking the community for support. “We make lunches and snacks for seven days of the week, 31 days a month, 12 months a year,” Johnson said. “A lot of lunches, but the volunteers, they’re the ones that make it happen. They’re hard workers; they know what they’re doing and they’re good.” ARISE was founded by the Renton Ecumenical Association of Churches, or REACH in 2004 and today operates as a partnership Catholic Community Services and the City of Renton. The program has been in existence for 10 years and recently made some changes in operation due to low volunteer numbers. “We’ve got tons of really loyal volunteers, but it was getting harder and harder to sustain meal production in the evening,” said Maggie Breen, REACH executive director. “Many churches were signing up but there were also big gaps, at the same time we were developing the Renton Meal Coalition.” Now the ARISE program takes its homeless men to the Renton Meal Coalition for dinner at the Renton Salvation Army instead of facilitating dinner at rotating churches.

Renton man injured in Tuesday accident on I-405 ramp BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
Maggie Breen, executive director of REACH, prepares sandwiches for the homeless men’s program ARISE. The group is in need of volunteers. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter gram organizers hope to maximize resources by centralizing everything for grant purposes. “We’ve changed a program that’s been in place for 10 years now, so (we’re) kind of getting people used to a new way of doing it,” said Breen. Now volunteers prepare lunches and snacks at the REACH Center of Hope in the bottom of City Hall one to three days a week. “Volunteers can come to a central location and make things here and then get them out
to the churches; it just feels more efficient,” said Breen. It costs $10 a month for a man to receive breakfast, lunch and a snack for seven days. “If anyone wants to come and help and have a good hour and a half of serving the community, it is so much needed right now,” said Johnson. “This is a great place and I would encourage anyone to come here.” For those interested in volunteering for the ARISE program, visit reachrenton.org.
An 18-year-old Renton man was transported to Harborview Medical Center Tuesday night after being hit by a car on the entrance ramp to I-405 south from 85th Street. According to a report from the state police, a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse driven by a 54-year-old Kirkland man struck another vehicle and pedestrian Tien G. Pham while trying to get around an accident on the entrance ramp. According to the report, a 1991 Mazda driven by a 29-year-old Kent man was stopped, blocking the ramp to I-405 with multiple pedestrians outside exchanging information from a previous accident when the Mitsubishi entered the ramp, drove between the Mazda and the Jersey barrier and struck the barrier, the Mazda and Pham. The accident is still under investigation, but state police are pursuing vehicular assault charges against the 54-year-old. The roadway was blocked for a total of three hours and six minutes.

to Renton. With the help of the local Renton business owner of Mosaic Company (who became a supporter, major donor, and family friend) they started CryOut!, a non-profit Renton organization that uses music, dance, arts and workshops to empower youth and help them develop leadership skills. Celestine and Tara now have two small daughters and the program is thriving. CryOut! offers an after-school program for teens. During the summer, they also welcome children from 2 to 11, including their 2-year-old daughter. The drop-in center gives youth the opportunity to participate in workshops, use the dance floor, learn to record, use the computer lab and socialize with others. Often, the high-school kids help teach the younger children to dance. Dance competitions are hosted by the high school students with participants as far away as Portland, Ore. On Sept. 6, they are presenting the “Voices of Youth”, a free community event showcasing their talents from 5-9 p.m. They will also be performing at Renton River Days. [ more CRY OUT page 9 ]

THE CREATIVE SIDE
It was a very hot day in Renton when I parked in back of Harambee on 3rd Street next to a wall of bold and colorful murals. I saw my interview subject, Celestine Ezinkwo, by the back door with a mass of young people circling him like butterflies. It was clear that these kids adored their mentor. I smiled. This was a great first introduction to CryOut!, Celestine’s non-profit organization for youth. As we moved inside to escape the heat, I was delighted by the brightly colored artwork that decorated the building. Celestine was born in Africa in 1984. In 2003, when he was 19, he moved from Nigeria to America to pursue a music career as a rapper. Since living in America he discovered his passion to help youth. Through rap music, and various other programs, he educates young people about how they can help bring change to the world by helping their peers. Celestine has been on MTV Asia and worked with different musicians and organizations that are passionate about ending injustices everywhere. “Speak up for those that can’t speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute,” he says. “Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.” While he loves to perform, Celestine says he enjoys the production and engineering side of music, and holds a bachelor’s degree in International Business from Cal State. At one point, he thought about starting an import-export business. Fortunately for the community of Renton (and youth around the world), he moved into a different life path. In 2007, Celestine met his wife Tara in Los Angeles. The two shared a similar desire to help young people. She was a spiritual adviser for girls involved in “Athletes in Action” at the University of Southern California, while Celestine often volunteered for non-profit organizations, teaching hip-hop and providing health information for students at Watts’ Willowbrook High School. Together, they taught dance and created music videos for chartered elementary schools and taught music through the “Say Yes” program on skid row. Their shared vision brought light to many lives in Southern California. They met Pastor Mike Gunn while he was speaking in Los Angeles at an urban project. Pastor Gunn is the founder of Harambee, a center for community development here

Highs, lows, ups and downs in fast first year as editor They say time flies when you are having fun. Well if that’s the case, this job must be the most fun I have ever had because I simply cannot believe how quickly time seems to have passed. I mean, all of a sudden, it’s July. Sure, I’d noticed that I was covering some things for the second time, but I didn’t really think anything of it. (“What do you mean it’s time for graduation already?”) But July marks one year since I took over as editor of the Renton Reporter. It’s been a year of ups and downs, highs and lows, positive, exciting stories and a few real downers. I have met a ton of people, been exposed to a lot of great volunteer work and seen what everyone means when they talk about the special way Renton pulls together to get things done, be it almost entirely volunteer work of the REACH Center of Hope at City Hall (also celebrating one year) or the multi-agency partnership and community funding model that delivered the amazing new inclusive playground at Meadow Crest. We’ve reported on terrible tragedies and great successes, new businesses and old friends saying goodbye, controversies both real and blown out of proportion, championship sports teams and crushing defeats and even got to cover a run to the Super Bowl. All without ever leaving Renton! And through it all, it’s been quite a learning curve. We have tried a few things over the past 12 months here at the paper. Some have stuck, others didn’t work and still others were not given their fair shake and will get another chance. Like I said, all of sudden it’s been a year. First, I’d like to say thank you. Thank you for reading and for the calls, emails and feedback – whether you liked something I did or not, it’s all appreciated. Last year at this time, I said I hoped to “reboot” our paper. To some extent, I feel like that has happened. In other ways, we’re still working on it. After all, this is your paper, telling your story. We are just the stewards of it. We debuted a few new features last year at this time and, well, some of them are still around. Others, we are getting back to, I promise. Last year at this time, we debuted our “At a glance” page on page 2 of the paper. The feedback on that page has been generally positive, though, admittedly, we are still playing with the content some. The main features of it remain unchanged, however: the weather photo, the “You said it!” and the webpoll. All of those things are designed to be reader-generated and we appreciate you all playing along. The weather photo in particular was designed as a place to get some of your pictures out to the public. Several residents have sent us in pictures and we’ve published them.

Without paid collectors, Eyman initiative fails to get enough support Rarely can the lack of action trigger so much reaction as it did this month when Tim Eyman didn’t do something he so often does — turn in signatures for an initiative. Word the professional initiative promoter from Mukilteo failed to qualify his latest anti-tax concoction for the November ballot ignited an outburst online of those in the Puget Sound’s political punditry. That’s because it’s been a few years since Eyman came up empty in his attempt to legislate through the ballot box. His critics wistfully hope it is a sign of failures to come and an omen of his eventual exit from Washington’s main stage of politics. Without question, Eyman has lost his bling and his brand of self-centered politics dressed up as populism no longer gives voice to public angst and anger as it once did. But one setback isn’t likely to neuter Eyman’s influence — real and perceived — on the electorate or the electeds. There are reasons for this year’s dud effort. He had a poorly conceived measure and he never rebuilt the bridge to business supporters he blew up last year. This year’s offering, officially known as Initiative 1325, required lawmakers to endorse a constitutional amendment requiring tax increases be approved by a two-thirds majority and then to put it on the ballot for voters to Jerry Cornfield

ratify. If they didn’t, the state sales tax would be slashed from 6.5 percent to 5.5 percent. That’s a pretty complicated sell for someone with a clipboard standing outside a supermarket trying to get signatures. And he didn’t have many of those because the usual flow of dollars to pay for them from wealthy individuals, small businesses or major corporations dried up. Eyman’s customary allies hadn’t forgiven him for 2013 when they believe he used some of their donations to push a measure they opposed. Without that financial aid to hire professional petitioners, Eyman and his reputed “thousands of supporters” were on their own to get it done. And they didn’t. “We worked really hard, but our signature drive for the 2/3-For-Taxes Constitutional Amendment fell short this year,” Eyman wrote in an email to supporters, without acknowledging how many signatures were gathered. “We’ll just have to work even harder next time.” What “next time” looks like may determine whether Eyman effectuates a rebound to relevancy. If he wants to maintain a statewide profile, he’ll need to make amends with his old allies. Without their wallets and their wisdom, Eyman’s ability to continue earning regular paydays will be put at risk. Or Eyman could change course and focus on pushing ballot measures on the local level. He’s had success in fighting red-light cameras. There is no end to levies and taxes he could [ more CORNFIELD page 7 ]

It can be anything, as long as it is outdoors - whatever the weather! – and in Renton. We also debuted a “Weekend” Page, but I think we bit off a little more than we could chew with that one. We had big dreams for that page and it took a lot out of us (Tracey in particular) to try and keep the pace we had set in the beginning. So, unfortunately, that page fell away. For now. We’re working to bring it back. However, we have in recent weeks tried to bring back the calendar – which the Weekend page was originally designed to replace – because we do realize that is an important part of what we do: let you know the events and happenings in the community. Unfortunately, this week we were not able to get it in. But with that in mind, please continue to post your events in our online calendar, but also send them in to either Tracey or I and we will do what we can to get it into the calendar, and to get that calendar into the paper. This past year also saw the departure of one of our columnists, Carolyn Ossorio. Carolyn has big dreams and had a chance to follow them and took it and while we at the paper miss her voice and her column, we wish her all the best and look forward to someday soon writing about how a former Renton Reporter columnist made it big. But Carloyn’s departure freed up some space and budget and we are able to once again bring you Marianne Binetti’s “The Compleat Home Gardener” column. (That’s not a typo, by the way. Marianne’s column uses the archaic form “Compleat” as its official name…) This is the third week we are running her column and because of the great response from readers, I promise to try and make room every week to get Binetti in. Shoot, even I’m forced to admit that while I am not much of a gardener and never understood why people read her column during my days living as a single guy in a Tacoma studio apartment, the first two columns of hers that we published each contained multiple useful tips that my wife and I immediately put into play in our yard. Welcome back, Marianne. Someday, we’re going to have to have a talk about “compleat” and the havoc it wreaks on our spellcheckers… We also have a few more ideas up our sleeves for some new features this fall, so keep your eyes peeled for that. But like I said, we realize there is still work to do. We always want to hear from you, the readers. Do not hesitate to phone or email or even stop on by the office. My door is always open and I love hearing from readers. Thanks for everything in this past year, Renton. And here’s to the future; Once more around the sun, Jeeves!

But Joos cited a resolution adopted by a 3-2 vote of the commission on Jan. 7, 2013, as his authority for authorizing Talmadge, a former state Supreme Court justice, to pursue the case. Talmadge has represented the district in the lawsuit. The resolution reads: “Be it now therefore resolved, that the President is authorized to take all steps necessary to initiate an appeal of the Superior Court ruling in order to determine whether the Strategic Alliance Agreement with the UW is valid.” The resolution was signed by Joos, Anthony Hemstad, who has resigned from the board, and Dr. Aaron Heide, who has indicated to Joos he plans to resign from the board. A King County Superior Court judge on Dec. 28, 2012, dismissed a lawsuit brought by the hospital district that questioned the legality of the alliance. The district then appealed the Superior Court ruling to the state Supreme Court, which remanded the appeal to the state Court of Appeals, rather that directly review the strategic alliance.
In its ruling, the appeals court found that the hospital district has a right under state law to enter into a joint operating agreement. Joos said the odds the Supreme Court will review the case are not high. “It’s a long shot. But I think we owe it to the taxpayers of the district to get the final answer,” he said. The district had 30 days to appeal the appellate court’s decision, issued June 23. The board meets the first Monday of each month, or in the case of July, July 7. The July 7 meeting was canceled, but there was a question at Tuesday’s meeting who canceled the meeting. Joos indicated he had checked with Heide about a meeting but not other commission members. He indicated it would have been a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act to contact members individually to get their opinion on the appeal. Drennen didn’t learn the meeting was canceled until the last minute – after changing her schedule so she could attend. Joos offered an apology. He said he understood that the board bylaws gave the board president the power to cancel a meeting. But he learned from the district’s lawyer that a majority of the board has to decide to cancel a meeting. Drennen and Parnell indicated they want the legal challenge to end. Commissioner Tamara Sleeter indicated she wanted the lawsuit to continue. Drennen reiterated her public comments in the meeting in an interview afterward. “Like I said to him, it’s very disrespectful not to include all the commissioners. And, also, when he contacted Heide and Dr. Sleeter, why didn’t he contact us?” she said, pointing out that Heide “hasn’t even been

proposed 399,000-squarefoot new Renton store would consist of two levels, provide nearly 1,700 parking spaces, offer what IKEA calls a “more current layout” and reflect the same unique architectural design for which IKEA stores are known worldwide. “With the store’s success and high awareness among consumers, we are excited for the chance to build a new IKEA store from the ground-up, adjacent to the current store and on land we already own,” said IKEA U.S. CFO Rob Olson in a press release. “A new store at this same location would allow coworkers to offer customers an updated and enhanced shopping experience.”
“IKEA has been a wonderful corporate partner since the day they opened their doors here,” said Renton Mayor Denis Law. “It’s exciting to see that hundreds of national and regional chains and independent local businesses are calling Renton home,” A new, more spacious Seattle-area IKEA store would feature the full assortment of nearly 10,000 exclusively designed items, 50 inspirational roomsettings, three model home interiors, a supervised children’s play area, and a larger restaurant for serving Swedish specialties. Other family-friendly features include a “Children’s IKEA” area in the showroom, baby care rooms, play areas throughout the store, and preferred parking.
Along with being a major contributor to the city’s tax base, IKEA has been a community partner with the city since it opened. IKEA has sponsored Renton River Days for the past 16 years, donated $500,000 to the Performing Arts Center and made significant contributions to Communities In Schools of Renton, Vision House and several other local organizations. “There is no way we can appropriately thank IKEA for all they’ve done for Renton and our region,” said Mayor Law, who noted that IKEA received the Washington State “Corporations for Communities Award,” which honors exceptional businesses that make it a priority to help the community.
IKEA last week filed plans to build a new, larger store at the location of its current store in south Renton. The company hopes to have the new store open by fall 2016. BRIAN BECKLEY, Renton Reporter

The kids have also done some art projects for the community, including decorating carts for the Renton Farmer’s Market. The CryOut! Recording Studio is available to youth who have a passion to put out a positive message to their community. The studio is also available to members of the community for a low cost. Celestine told me about his vision for his program and for the Renton community. He believes that the youth of Renton are an under-valued asset, and given the right opportunities they can become leaders in the community. He ignores labels like “trouble” or “hopeless.” By listening, by loving, by paying attention and by giving young people opportunities to be productive and engaged, he sees previously troubled youth thrive, moving on to become mentors to younger participants and a great help to the center.

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent. If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate.

THE COMPLEAT HOME GARDENER
Marianne Binetti
The third week of July is when you can hit the rewind button on certain summer flowers and watch them bloom again. Cut back delphiniums, Shasta daisies and leggy petunias now. Leave 4 to 6 inches of old growth and fertilize and water after this drastic pruning. New growth will produce a second wave of blooms after just a short pause. You’ll enjoy an encore performance of the flower show in August.
Q.
Why don’t all my cucumber flowers produce cucumbers? I have plenty of bees and other insects to pollinize. O.M. Auburn
A.
Cucumbers bloom with both male and female flowers. Once the pollinators move the pollen from the male flower to the female bloom, the male flowers fall off as their duty is done. The fertile females grow the baby cucumbers. Just be sure you keep the soil moist while the cukes are young and in our climate grow the trailing cucumbers on a trellis to keep them off the damp ground where they are more susceptible to disease.
Q.
I have lots of small peppers growing on a dwarf pepper plant. Can you tell me how to dry them for winter use? T. , email
A.
Hot peppers are easy to dry. Wait until they turn red for maximum flavor and then harvest from the plant and lay on a screen left outside in the sun. (Bring indoors on cloudy days.) After a few hot days the peppers will be dry and you can string them into wreaths or store them in glass bottles.
Q.
Are there any drought-resistant and disease-resistant roses that are native to the United States? I don’t want to water roses all summer and have found that our native plants do well on rainfall alone. S.R., Olympia
A.
America has the small pasture rose (rosa carolina) and the prairie rose (rosa setigera) with wild, arching stems but I would recommend the more robust Rosa rugosa as the rose that demands the least amount of care. I do want to make the point that this hardy species rose has plenty of thorns and needs lots of room to grow into a natural thicket.

ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S PUZZLE

11 charged in ‘Operation Cold Shower’ [ STING from page 1]
on human trafficking earlier this year and decided to see how big the problem was in Renton. “Human trafficking has become a major problem,” Law said. “We know this sort of thing happens in the Puget Sound region and right here in Renton.” Elliott said the decision was made to try and address the problem by going after the “johns” or customers. Working with the King County Sheriff ’s Office, Renton police set up a sting reminiscent of the television show “To Catch a Predator.” “They really helped us to have a successful operation,” Elliott said of the Sheriff ’s Office. According to the FBI, human trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise over the past 10 years and 33 percent of the victims are juveniles. Of those, 75 percent are usually girls who are coerced or forced into the sex trade. According to the FBI, Seattle is part of a larger West Coast trafficking region known as “The Loop,” which stretches from Seattle to San Diego, over to
Phoenix and Las Vegas and up to Boise, Idaho. According to Elliott, who called human trafficking and the exploitation of minors “one of the most heinous crimes a person can commit,” most of the victims are dead by 23. “Our goal is to save these
“If someone’s going to be doing something like this in Renton, we’re going to do our best to get them and help these girls.” Officer Bryan Elliott
girls as best we can,” he said, adding that the average age of girls involved in these trades is 13. “It’s really sad.” Elliott has been working with the FBI Child Exploitation Task Force, gaining knowledge, training and experience in larger operations, though he said he is not a full-time member of the task force. The results of last week’s sting surprised even Elliott. “The results we got were double any expectations I had in this operation,” he said. “The success of the op-
eration is really a statement of how bad this problem is,” agreed Renton Police Chief Kevin Milosevich. “Human trafficking is a local, regional, and national problem and it will require resources at all three levels to make an impact and reduce demand.” Elliott was clear that no officers or minors were placed in harm’s way during the operation. Law said he was pleased with the result of the operation, but was “disheartened” that apparently so many people think it’s OK to take advantage of teenagers in this way and said the city would continue to work with regional partners to end these types of crimes. “This is all part of a regional effort,” Law said. “Hopefully it will make some headway.” “I think it’s really going to open the eyes of the community that this is a regional problem,” Elliott said of his sting, adding that this is an “ongoing battle.” “If someone’s going to be doing something like this in Renton, we’re going to do our best to get them and help these girls,” he said.

DUCK HUNT 5 brought to you by:
The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.
He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of thirddegree theft.
BY DEAN A. RADFORD
Gun stolen from car
dradford@rentonreporter.com
Because people like to videotape their activities, a Renton Police officer seized as evidence a GoPro camera located after the arrest of a shoplifter. The suspect, a 22-year-old Kent man, told officers July 7 he intended to buy the electronics he had picked out at Target at The Landing. But the line was long, so he decided not to buy them. He pushed store security officers to get away. He ran north on Park Avenue and was spotted leaving the Mucho Burrito on North 10th Street, where he was arrested. He initially refused but then turned around so an officer could handcuff him. He denied taking anything from the store, even accidentally. But store security saw him push a shopping cart full of electronics past 7/11/14 all registers an Page attempt 273372_4.75_x_6 3:47in PM 1 to get out of the store.
A unsecured Ruger LCP .380 handgun was stolen July 4 from the glovebox of a vehicle parked on Southeast Third Place. The owner isn’t sure how the thief got inside the vehicle. Also missing was a change purse.
Engine problem causes chain reaction Three motorcyclists headed for a sports bar on the Maple Valley Highway July 1 got there by accident. The motorcyclists were riding single file southbound toward the bar. As the first one turned into the parking lot, he was hit from behind but stayed upright. The middle rider was pushed into that first rider by the cyclist bringing up the rear – who was his son. The son told officers the bike experienced a mechanical failure as he tried to stop. He was cited for following too closely and for operating a motorcycle without an endorsement. The motorcycle damage was minor, mainly scrapes and broken accessories.
