120th Street extension project goes over budget Council approves filling $5 million shortage BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A $5 million funding shortage for Phase 2 of Bellevue's 120th Avenue Northeast extension due to higher than expected project costs will require the city to borrow from
its Phase 3 coffer, which is expected to be backfilled with future grant monies. The project, which will continue extending a new five-lane arterial 120th Avenue Northeast from Northeast Seventh Street to Northeast 12th Street, experienced significant cost increases over engineering estimates of $12.03 million that included a 10 percent contingency and 10 percent allotment for staff time. Several factors caused the increase, including property acquisitions, construction
material costs and the state Department of Ecology expanding the area where ground contaminants will need to be removed, said Ron Kessack, assistant director for the city's transportation department. Kessack told the council Aug. 4 the city is required to remove from the project area a layer of peat in the ground, leftover from past swampier conditions around Lake Bellevue. He added the city expects to cut costs by performing on-site treatment, rather than trucking off the contamination
at a $600,000 price point. Ground stabilization will also be required near the lake. Depending on the results of soil and groundwater mitigation, the remnants of three properties in the project area — valued at up to $4 million — could be resold. The city is also paying $1.8 million more for the Barrier Porsche property than it was appraised at, which Kessack said has become more common with property acSEE 120TH STREET, 7

Bellevue police clear Marshawn Lynch of assault allegations
Sculpture to adorn 'Lest We Forget' in Downtown Park
The Bellevue Police Department has cleared Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch in an aggravated assault case stemming from a Sunday report from a woman in a downtown apartment. An initial release from the BPD stated a woman reported to police Lynch was the suspect in an alleged assault and property damage at the apartment, reporting the incident at 2:30 p.m. Sunday – 12 hours after the alleged assault occurred. "The Bellevue Police Department has determined that Marshawn Lynch was not involved in last weekend's property damage and assault case in any way," a Wednesday revised news release from the BPD states. "This case remains an open and active investigation. We appreciate the cooperation we have received from the Seahawks organization during this investigation." The Seahawks responded to the allegations on Tuesday with a statement they had spoken with Lynch, and believed the claim was "bogus." According to CrimeMapping.com, the alleged assault was reported to have occurred on the 11100 block of Northeast Eighth Street. The investigation was the sole assignment of one Bellevue detective, who Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said had been working as fast as possible to determine the validity of the accusations. As the investigation remains active, it is not yet clear whether the woman who made the claim is now under investigation for falsely naming Lynch as her assailant.

Bob Shay is getting closer to fulfilling a debt he feels to honor the soldiers whose names are marked on Bellevue Downtown Park's World War I memorial, and the sacrifice of many more who have served their country in times of conflict. The "Lest We Forget" monument, dedicated by the Bellevue Minute Women and Bellevue School District on Armistice Day 1926 to the lives of three local men who died fighting in World War I, first caught Shay's eye when the park opened in 1987. "To me, at the time, it looked like a monument that had never been finished," he said. "(People) aren't aware of it and it's not shown much respect for it." SEE MONUMENT, 9

Factoria hit by severe overnight flooding for contaminants. Formula One owner Bob Healy said he believes the city is responsible for causing the flooding by installing water sock filters in a storm drain near his business that prevented water from filtering through. He added his business has been there 18 years, and has never experienced such flooding. “I guess the city of Bellevue’s position is it’s the worst rainstorm ever since 1986 and capping of the storm drains had nothing to do with it,” Healy said. Berg said the city is examining its storm drains, and the water socks were left in drains on Factoria Boulevard following a repaving project to ensure water quality.
“There was nothing clogging those water socks,” she said. “They removed the drains and then everything started moving.” Healy said his business would remain shut down until he can pump out the pits in his shop, but the heavy flooding caused his pumping system to fail, and he needed to get his regular crew out to remove the water and separate the oil. “We’re trying to get things cleaned up. The city definitely has an army out here,” he said. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

City cleans oil runoff from Formula-1 Fast Lube shop BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The city of Bellevue is blaming heavy overnight rain for causing flooding in Factoria early Wednesday morning, which also washed oil across Factoria Boulevard that crews spent all day removing. Tresa Berg with the city’s transporta-
tion department said storm drains in the Factoria area could not handle the 2 3/4 inches of rain that fell over an 8-hour period. “Our storm drainage system just could not handle all of that rain in eight hours,” she said, which caused flood waters in Factoria to reach as high as four feet. The heavy rain caused the pits at Formula One Fast Lubes to flood, washing oil onto Factoria Boulevard. Berg said the state Department of Ecology was notified, should it need to test nearby Kelsey Creek

Two from Bellevue participate in scholars program at UW Sangha Yoon and Alex Ma from Bellevue participated in the 2014 DO-IT Scholars Program. They were part of about 45 college-bound high school students with disabilities who came together on the University of Washington Seattle campus to participate in the annual DO-IT Scholars Summer Study program. DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) is funded by the state of Washington, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education. Other donors include the Boeing Company, Microsoft, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Department of Labor. Beginning July 15, the students spent 10 days living on campus, participating in an intensive program designed to promote college and career success. The students learned about challenging careers in such fields as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Returning second-year scholars stayed on campus for one week starting July 19. “DO-IT Scholars learn about college life by living in a dorm, getting along with a roommate, participating in academic classes, preparing for challenging careers and having fun,” explains Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler, founder and director of DO-IT. “Yearround, they communicate via the Internet with their new friends and are mentored by successful adults with disabilities. Year after
year, they connect through DO-IT activities and are supported as they transition to college and careers. Many successful DO-IT Scholars continue in the program as mentors to younger participants.” Second- and third-year students prepare for academic programs and careers while mentoring first year students. They also complete challenging projects during their stay on campus. This year, they worked on projects in suc fields as neurobiology and digital film making. DO-IT Scholars targets high school sophomores and juniors with disabilities in Washington state who are interested in pursuing higher education. Students apply to the program during the fall, with recommendations from their parents, teachers and counselors. Each year, about 17 new students enter the program, beginning their experience with summer study. Once selected, the students are loaned computers, software and adaptive technology to use in their homes, learning technology is a tool for empowerment. The program continues with independent projects and Internet interaction with mentors, teachers and fellow students during the school year. For information about scholars or other DO-IT programs and activities, visit www. uw.edu/doit, email doit@u.washington.edu or call 206-685-3648 (voice/TTY) or 888972-3648 (voice/TTY).
Bellevue Youth Theatre gets its own turf BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The new Bellevue Youth Theatre, under construction in the Crossroads Park complex, was sodded on Saturday. The $8.8-million theater construction project started last May and is funded by a $2 million match from the city through a voter-approved parks levy in 2008 and an additional $2.5 million from King County Green Building and 4Culture grants. With up to 20 workers tackling the project five days a week, the theater is expected to be completed by late 2014. Once completed, people will be able to
walk around on top of the roof, which will tie into a walking path for the park area. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Evangelical network removes Mars Hill Church, pastor from membership
Community Roundup What’s happening in Bellevue and elsewhere
Soroptimists selling ‘Shop for Cause’ passes at Macy’s
BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Acts 29 Network, an evangelical collective of more than 500 churches worldwide, announced Aug. 8 that it had removed Mars Hill Church and controversial Pastor Mark Driscoll from its membership. Driscoll's removal from the network he helped start 15 years ago, along with all Mars Hill churches from Acts 29, came just less than a week after a mid-size gathering of protesters converged outside the Bellevue church location on Aug. 3. They were calling for Dricoll's removal from the church, accusing him of abusing the power granted to him and shunning former members for questioning his decisions. In a statement on its website, the Acts 29 Network said, in part: "It is our conviction that the nature of the accusations against Mark, most of which have been confirmed by him, make it untenable and unhelpful to keep Mark and Mars Hill in our network." Those questioning the leadership of Driscoll on Aug. 3 called him a bully and misogynist, saying they were called out by the pastor in a video two weeks ago as anonymous. A number of Sunday protesters carried signs: "We are not anonymous." Driscoll's statement also prompted dissidents to dredge up a 14-year-old message by the pastor in a church chat board regarding what he considered "a pussified nation" of weak men, Henderson said. Driscoll apologized for the 2000 rant, which he wrote under the pseudonym, William Wallace II. One of those organizers, Bob Smith, provided the Reporter with a copy of a letter from Acts 29 to Driscoll regarding their decision. "Over the past three years, our board and network have been the recipients of countless shots and dozens of fires directly linked to you and what we consider ungodly and disqualifying behavior," one passage reads. "We have both publicly and internally tried to support and give you the benefit of the doubt, even when multiple pastors in our network confirmed this behavior. … Because you are the founder of Acts 29 and a member, we are naturally associated with you and feel that this association discredits the network and is a major distraction." Acts 29 states it had also lost faith in the church's Board of Advisers and Accountability to handle the matter. The Aug. 3 protest followed the second resignation of a member from that board this year. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602, bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Downtown parking issue needs to be a city priority
A
nyone who has driven to Old Bellevue to shop or dine knows that it’s a challenge to find a place to park. Most of the parking is on-street. And what parking lots are available also do duty for such things as the city’s Downtown Park. That’s why it’s no surprise that the Old Bellevue Merchants Association is asking the city to do something about the situation. Their livelihood is at stake. If parking is seen as a chore, many people will decide to shop or dine elsewhere. While the city says it understands the frustrations felt by business owners and is working closely with the merchants association, it appears the association thinks otherwise. It recently took the issue to the city’s Downtown Livability Initiative Citizens Advisory Committee and to the City Council. What the association wants is a large, nearby parking garage to accommodate the people who want to visit or do business in that part of the city. It’s not an unreasonable request. What the city is doing or proposing is to add 29 new day-time, on-street parking spaces scattered around Old Bellevue. It also has changed parking regulations to allow general parking at the city’s Downtown Park after 6 p.m. daily. While nice, they’re not nearly enough. The downtown livability committee has looked at the issue, but it has deferred making recommendations until a comprehensive study for all downtown can be done. We understand the logic of not approaching problems piecemeal, but we believe the parking situation in Old Bellevue goes far beyond that faced by other areas in downtown. Big, shiny buildings and increased amenities in downtown are wonderful, but not if people can’t find a place to park to enjoy them. Adding a few more parking spots on the street isn’t going to solve the issue — in Old Bellevue or elsewhere. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

The Art of Making at your library
A
t four feet, eleven inches, my great-grandmother was a ball of energy that could do just about everything. Nobody could tell her she couldn’t do anything, including my great-grandfather who told her he wouldn’t make an arched entry into the dining room. He came home one day to find that she Darcy Brixey had roughed out an entry with the help of a chain saw. To me, she’s a model of perseverance and persistence. My mother told me that my greatgrandmother could make silk from a sow’s ear. She’d buy clothing at thrift shops just to cut them up and turn them into new objects. The quilt made of men’s suit fabric samples is still a family favorite. There is something so gratify-
ing about creating things with our hands. Over time our jobs have become more sedentary, and often more abstract. We’ve become removed from nature and the physical world where we can see the growth and creation of our food and goods. The result is often unhappiness. There are plenty of articles in glossy women’s magazines and the shelves at the library are bursting with books on regaining that happiness. Many boil down to finding a creative activity you enjoy. If you’d like to investigate a new hobby before you spend the time and money, try the library program offerings this fall. King County Library System is introducing a new program series called MAKE. DIY programs such as the Sept. 13th beer brewing event at the Bellevue Library, lead into other kinds of programs throughout the fall. Some events deal with hands-on creation such as building robot puppets or creating pop-up

There are programs for kids, teens and adults. To find more information on these upcoming programs across the system please visit www.kcls. org/programs for a full schedule and registration information. I think about my great-grandmother a lot when I knit. I wish that she was around to help me when I’ve jumbled up the yarn past the point of repair. She’d have fixed it with no problems at all. She was good at learning new skills and not afraid to try things. I don’t know that she’d have built a robot, you can bet that everyone would have a robot sweater. Darcy Brixey is the teen services librarian at the Bellevue Library. She’d like to tell you she loves to read, but it’s an expectation of the job.
In 2006, Bellevue increased the limit to 50 feet, thinking all shorelines were critical areas needing restoration to natural conditions. However, in 2010 the state declared otherwise, stipulating cities only need to assure protection of existing ecological conditions. The City Council will be considering this as they arrive at a plan appropriate to the urban conditions that exist today.

Bellevue student helping investigate urban marmots A Bellevue resident at Gonzaga University is spending the summer researching why the local population of yellow-bellied marmots — those gregarious, burrowing rodents ubiquitous near the Spokane River — are not only surviving but thriving in the urban areas of Spokane. Kristen Price, a biology major, is assisting Elizabeth Addis, assistant professor of biology at Gonzaga University, and two other senior biology majors, Erin Pazaski of Sammamish and Katie Carr from California. Most research exploring patterns of species survival has focused on birds; little is known about the physiological mechanisms that allow animals to survive in urban environments. The marmots, whose scientific name is Marmota flaviventris, are thriving in their increasingly urbanized environment. “Eastern Washington is unusual in having these marmots thrive among the cars, the bikes, the dogs and the people,” Addis says, adding that the beaver-like crea-
tures are typically found in more remote, mountainous areas. “My work focuses on the physiological processes, particularly those associated with stress, that facilitate the yellow-bellied marmots’ existence with us.” The team has traveled to Palouse Falls, Riverside State Park and along the Centennial Trail near Gonzaga’s campus to trap and tag the marmots and collect feces and fur for hormonal samples and dietary information. So far, the team has collected data on more than 50 marmots. “We are using glucocorticoid metabolites found in fur and feces to determine if yellow-bellied marmots interpret rural or urban environments as more stressful,” Addis said. “Additionally, we are examining behavioral variation and dietary differences among marmots along an urban-rural continuum.” The research project will continue for the next several years and its preliminary findings are expected this year.

Bellevue police part of DUI enforcement patrols for booze, pot Summer is a time for parties and picnics in the sun, but traffic safety officials are reminding drivers to not let a DUI ruin their fun. And, even though Washington legalized marijuana for adults 21 and older, it is still illegal and dangerous to drive under the influence of marijuana or alcohol, officials say. “Specifically, we want people to know that marijuana doubles the risk of a fatal crash,”
said Darrin Grondel, Traffic Safety Commission director. “With new retail marijuana stores in the mix, we want to remind the public that prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as illegal and recreational drugs, can impair driving ability,” Grondel added.

Choosing poor-quality vinyl windows is a mistake.
Our Fibrex® material is
2X STRONGER THAN VINYL
Choosing the proper window material is everything. Even in moderate temperature swings, poor-quality vinyl windows can warp, lose whatever energy efficiency they once had, and invite drafts and leaks. Significant home improvements are supposed to last, but can you imagine the expense and frustration of replacing your windows a second time, after just a couple of years? We custom-build our windows from our own patented Fibrex® material. Fibrex® is a patented wood composite that has the rich, elegant look and feel of finely crafted wood windows without the maintenance. Why did we make our Fibrex® material twice as strong as vinyl? To serve homeowners who only want to replace their windows once.

Bellevue College to offer new certificate classes
MONUMENT CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
A Vietnam-era Veteran and chaplain for the local VFW Post 2995, Shay took up the charge to complete the monument and make its presence in the park a beloved feature, rather than a forgotten relic. "This was passed down to us," Shay said. "This is our responsibility, first and foremost." The first leg of Shay's fundraising efforts has been completed, with monetary and in-kind donations to be used to create a circular plaza around the monument, with three holes for flags that represent the World War I soldiers named on its plaque: Victor Freed, Victor E. Hanson and Oscar Johnson. "The final push here is to raise the money for the sculpture," Shay said. When the monument was first constructed, Shay said a large mast and flag were prominently placed in the middle. The mast eventually came down, Shay said, likely due to a historically bad windstorm. The hole left behind was filled in with a concrete square. Shay hopes to raise about $8,000 during a fundraiser 6 p.m. Aug. 21 at the monument, to place a bronze sculpture of a folded ceremonial casket flag on its squared top. The three bronze roses lying over the flag will also honor the three soldiers, he said. "That represents the three men and the ceremonial burial they would not have had during war times," Shay said of the flag. Joining Shay during the Aug. 21 fundraiser will be city leaders and other officers with the Veterans of Foreign

PTSA turns to crowdfunding for Grad Knight BY DANIEL NASH
Because knowledge is power
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Newport High School has turned to crowdfunding to raise money for its 2015 Grad Night (stylized as “Grad Knight” to reference the campus mascot). The Grad Knight committee of the Newport PTSA is seeking $2,500 to fund the event, using a “FundIT” campaign on the schools-oriented crowdfunding platform SwopBoard. Grad nights are a common event used by high schools to create a safe, “dry” event for graduates. “Grad Knight is a chance to give our students a wonderful memory, keep them safe, built a tradition and provide them with a stress-free alternative,” event co-chair Kris Smith wrote to the Reporter. “They don’t have to make the decision to drink or not drink alcohol. Everyone has a party to attend — no one is left out. “And parents can actually go to bed and get some sleep.” In Newport’s case, the PTSA buses students to a secret location, where they spend the entire night. Traditionally, the committee has raised money for Grad Knight through the Newport Shores garage sale, holiday brunch and poinsettia sales — which will not disappear due to the FundIT campaign, which the

No. As a matter of fact, we call it a community center that’s dedicated to health. We call it a shopping mall for gifts that bring some much-needed cheer. We call it a school where you can learn about what ails you and how to avoid it in the first place. We call it a peaceful place for healing where the best minds in medicine come together as one. We call it a no-wait emergency room, a family-friendly primary-care clinic, an advanced lab and diagnostic imaging center, and a home to dozens of expert specialists. We call this place Swedish Issaquah. We think you’ll call it extraordinary.

Departed Bellevue youth continues to inspire as city’s indoor skate park hosts 20th Anniversary event BY JOSH SUMAN

BELLEVUE REPORTER
The 2014 version of EZRocks Skate for the Cure is set for Sept. 19-21 at the Bellevue Indoor Skate Park (14224 Bel-Red Road.), and will include a Mega Ramp, which will stretch across the outfield at the neighboring baseball field.

"There is a certain amount of self confidence that is built from doing something you didn't think you could do," Moorman said. "At the end of the week of camp, they don't want to leave."
Most of the staff that help run the camps and operate the skate park are former youth campers and patrons themselves, drawn in by the state's largest indoor park and called to return as volunteers and eventually employees by a man they call, "Grandpa Joe."
Logan Feaster, a member of the Class of 2016 at Interlake High School and longtime boarder, said he first met Moorman at one such camp, and has never looked back. "It's a really friendly environment," he said, adding it is common for 20-something boarders to spend time with elementary aged skaters. "Joe is like a father figure for everyone. He welcomes everyone, scooter kids, too." In 2011, Moorman was approached by the Make-A-Wish Foundation with the hope of starting an event that would bring together professional skateboarders, community members and the area's youth to honor 10-year-old Ethan Zakes. The event, titled "EZRocks Skate for the Cure," was a massive success in raising SEE SKATE PARK, 14

When the city of Bellevue got its first skate park in the 1990s, the sport was still on the fringe. Televised competitions like ESPN’s X-Games were only just breaking on the scene, and mainstream elements like the popular Tony Hawk video game that would further legitimize skating to the masses were still years away. Two decades later, Bellevue’s indoor skate park continues to bridge the gap between generations, and will soon revel in its 20th anniversary with a celebration that will double as the annual fundraiser for a departed youth skateboarder. "Twenty years ago, skateboarding was a different beast," Joe Moorman said. "It had more of a rebel element." Moorman would know, with his hand on the pulse of the sport as the director of the Bellevue Indoor Skate Park since it opened in 1994. While the image of those participating has changed, skateboarding's ability to offer a place of respite to kids who often find themselves disenfranchised by team sports and other activities still makes it a trea-

Bannerwood Park ball field going synthetic
Sports Roundup
What’s happening in the world of sports
Seattle University to partner with city for upgrades, expanded use BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The city of Bellevue will partner with Seattle University to extend its use of Bannerwood Park for baseball games and practices, as well as sharing in the cost of installing synthetic turf on the infield. The Redhawks have been playing Division 1 ball at Bannerwood since the program was reinstated in 2009, but has been limited to just playing games, said Glenn Kost, park planning and development manager for the city. Now that the Bellevue School District has either constructed or improved ballfields at its high schools, a scheduling gap was created at Bannerwood Park that will be filled by Redhawks practices and games, he added. City councilmembers on Aug. 4 agreed to the partnership, and Kost said a formal 10-year agreement is being drafted for the council to adopt

when it returns from its summer break in September. That agreement includes the city assuming $120,000 in soft costs and SU paying the $540,000 in construction costs to install synthetic turf at Bannerwood Park. "We are committed to scheduling exciting Division 1 baseball at Bannerwood Park, and with our weather in the spring — you know what that's like — a synthetic infield really ensures our opportunity to play our games there," said Eric Guerra, SU associate athletic director for finance and compliance, during the Aug. 4 meeting. Kost told the council the agreement with SU is a win-win, because the Redhawks will use the field February through May, while community uses don't start until after. The Redhawks also want to use the field in mid-
February for spring practice and early September and mid-October for fall practice. Synthetic turf also will create an estimated $35,000 annual savings for the city by reducing the amount of maintenance required at the park, which is more than the city brings in through rental fees, Kost said. As well as finalizing its agreement with SU, Kost said the city needs the approval of the school district, which owns Bannerwood Park. The facility was constructed by the city in 1979 through Bellevue and King County funds under a 40-year agreement. The park averages about 240 games per year.

This year, the event will grow again, as Moorman brings back pros with area ties and the rest of the skateboarding community to honor Zakes.

Bellevue Chick-fil-A to open in 2015 BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Denny’s signs have come down — the restaurant on 116th Avenue Northeast closed three weeks ago — and construction on what will be one of Chick-fil-A’s first three Washington chains is slated to begin there in late September. Chick-fil-A spokesman Jerry Johnston confirmed Tuesday the Bellevue restaurant and two more in Lyn-
nwood and Tacoma are projected to hold grand openings in March 2015. Construction for the Lynnwood and Tacoma locations is set to begin in October. According to plans submitted to the city, the Bellevue Chick-fil-A is proposed to be 3,742 gross square feet and includes a drive-through.

Wolff Company buys controlling interest in The Gateway BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Wolff Company has purchased controlling interest in The Gateway, a mixed-use development project on the corner of Main Street and Bellevue Way, from the Vander Hoek Corporation, and has acquired the city permits necessary to begin construction as a joint venture. The Gateway will include 350 apartments, 26,000 square feet of commercial space and parking for about 600 vehicles. Robert O’Dea, with the Wolff Company’s public relations firm, said it’s too soon to say what, if any pre-leasing has occurred. “I will say that there’s a lot of interest in that parcel,” he said. Now that the Wolff Company owns controlling interest in The Gateway, O’Dea said there will be some
modifications to the original design for the project, but those changes are not far enough along to discuss. The Wolff Company has invested in more than 20,000 apartment units, and is also actively developing large projects in South Lake Union, Columbia City, Capitol Hill and Issaquah. “Bellevue is an amazing community that we have long sought to be a part of,” said Tim Wolff, managing partner of The Wolff Company, in a news release. “Our roots in the Puget Sound area run deep. We appreciate the unique character of the region’s many communities and are committed to developing very high quality projects that are reflective of what makes the area such a desirable place to live.” Vander Hoek Corporation President Stu Vander Hoek told the Reporter in February he hopes to find an anchor restaurant and fill other retail space with BDA Live at the types of businesses common in Old Bellevue.

Old Bellevue merchants ask city to fix parking problem BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
With several new mixed-use developments going up, Old Bellevue is changing. But local business owners say the parking problem remains constant. “The main thing that always gets people in an uproar is the parking,” said Kristina Wisth about Old Bellevue Merchants Association meetings. She has been tasked with advocating for the OBMA to get the city to include more parking there. “… There really hasn’t been a squeaky wheel in their face for forever.” The OBMA ramped up its campaign for more Old Bellevue parking in February, with Wisth addressing the problem with the Downtown Livability Initiative Citizens Advisory Committee and City Council. Wisth represented the OBMA at the City Council’s July 21 meeting, where she made the association’s appeal for a city parking garage on the southeast corner of Bellevue Downtown Park that could accommodate 500-plus vehicles. The merchants association argues such a facility would unify the park and Old Bellevue. The Reporter sought to speak with Bellevue Planning and Community Development Director Chris Salomone, about the issue, but instead were given an email stastemenht that said completing the circular water feature at Downtown Park is already planned for that corner of the property. Construction is slated to start mid-2015. The west parking lot will be expanded as a result of lost spaces at the park’s east lot,
The city hopes to ease parking issues in Old Bellevue by adding 29 spaces in the area by the end of October. BRANDON MACZ, Bellevue Reporter resulting in no net gains. “Parking continues to be an ongoing issue in Old Bellevue, and throughout downtown Bellevue,” the email states. “Striking the right balance of adequate parking and efficient traffic flow is challenging, and in recent months has been a greater challenge given the amount of development activity in this area.” Mixed-use developments The Gateway and Bellevue at Main will be built across from each other and include underground
parking, but Wisth said those are amenities for future tenants and those willing to pay fees to park. The OBMA doesn’t believe that will alleviate parking concerns. The city does plan to add 29 day-time, on-street parking spaces in and around Old Bellevue by the end of October, having added five of those spaces on Main Street in June. Regulations at Downtown Park were also recently changed to allow parking after 6 p.m., at the OBMA’s request. No recommendations for curbing the

and stressful hours the position required, he knew he had to make a change. “I was contemplating a big lifestyle change, which involved not working at Bungie anymore,” he said. When Harold Ryan, the owner of Bungie, heard Creamer might leave due to health concerns, he made
some changes of his own. For more than a year, the company has partnered with BFit Bellevue, a gym on N.E. 10th St., owned by a Newport Shores couple to provide lunch hour training to employees.

parking problem were provided by the Downtown Livability Initiative CAC, which is deferring the issue until a parking study is completed. The council will hear a presentation about the livability initiative in October. Wisth, who is general manager for Gilbert’s on Main, said Old Bellevue should be looked at separate from downtown because its needs are different. “The issue is this is still a suburb,” she said. “They’re hoping this is a walking community, which it is, and we hope it stays that way.” Walkability aside, Wisth said many people driving to Old Bellevue are attracted there from outside the area, and get discouraged when it comes time to park. “They finally make it here because they want to be here,” she said. “We even pay (parking) tickets here sometimes because we want people to come.” The city, in its email statement, adds that Phase 1 of the Meydenbauer Bay Park project will provide 25 new parking spaces, though construction won’t start until next year. “Although the new parking spaces are intended to accommodate park users, they are close to Old Bellevue,” the email states. “The master plan for Meydenbauer Bay Park envisions two underground parking lots, primarily to serve park use, but funding currently is not available to proceed with the phases of the park that would include them.”

Overlake Medical Center opens Mother’s Milk Depot Donated milk provides life-saving nutrition to premature babies
A total of 21 incoming Highland Middle School sixth graders from Bellevue School District’s Summer Academy gathered for a morning of environmental education July 15. The event, hosted by the Bridle Trails Park Foundation, gave students a chance to examine the ecological role the park plays in an urban community as well as the role of volunteers needed to maintain and inform others about natural spaces. Working with the foundation, teacher Scott Norton also utilized the experience to introduce the use of sensory details in upcoming summer writing. This curriculum-enhancement event was organized through connections and efforts to support district initiatives by Eastside Pathways. Bridle Trails Park Foundation provided transportation, snacks, lunch, and sent the students away with Bridle Trails Oxygen T-shirts. COURTESY PHOTO

The Women’s Clinic at Overlake Medical Center has opened a Mother’s Milk Depot, where moms can donate their breast milk to infants in need. With the opening of the milk depot, Overlake becomes one of only a few hospitals in western Washington to offer a local donation location to mothers in the greater Seattle area. A milk depot is a controlled collection point where healthy, lactating women can donate their surplus breast milk for premature babies. The milk collection, shipping, processing and distribution are overseen by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), an organization consisting of multiple banks and collection depots throughout the United States and Canada. “We’re very excited to bring this new, vital service to our community,” said Lynne Saunders, manager of Overlake Medical Center’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. “Our top priority is providing evidence-based treatment and best practice to those in our care, including the hospital’s youngest patients in our NICU.” Studies showing strong clinical benefits combined with recommendations from many health organizations have prompted a growing number of hospitals to provide donated, pasteurized human milk to premature infants when their mother’s own milk is not available. Donated breast milk provides life-saving nutrition and immune support to fragile, premature babies. In the United States, there is a critical shortage of donated human milk. According to
the HMBANA, there are 60,000 low birth weight infants (weighing 3.5 pounds or less) born every year who need donated breast milk for life-saving nutrition. “Nonprofit milk depots and banks throughout the U.S. are taking care of babies who fit in the palm of your hand. For them, breast milk is lifesaving, not just what’s best,” said Kim Updegrove, president of the Human Milk Banking Association of North America, the umbrella organization that ensures the safety of human milk donations in the U.S. and Canada. “Healthy, lactating mothers with infants under 1 year of age should get screened to be a donor,” Updegrove said. “They can be a lifesaver today at no cost to themselves.” With the opening of its Mother’s Milk Depot, Overlake hopes to make it more convenient for moms to donate and serve its infants. Last year, Overlake’s NICU used more than 1,000 ounces of donated human milk to treat critically ill premature infants. “Donating breast milk is a true labor of love that can provide life-saving nutrition and immune support to fragile, premature babies,” said Mother’s Milk Depot manager Sandra Salmon, RN, who specializes in mom and baby care as part of the Overlake Medical Clinics Women’s Clinic. “With the opening of our milk depot, we’re looking for mothers who would like to join our efforts to provide the best support possible to these infants,” she said. Mothers who have been screened and accepted as prospective donors can come to the Overlake Women’s Clinic to drop off their frozen breast milk and have blood work done at the medical center’s outpatient lab. The milk is temporarily stored in a deep freezer before

being shipped for processing along with the blood samples. Overlake’s depot works in partnership with the Mother’s Milk Bank of Colorado, which will provide the screening and blood testing at no cost to donating moms. The mailed blood samples are tested to assure donors meet the proper criteria (much like testing for blood donation). Milk that is safe for use is then pasteurized and cultured to assure there is no contamination from the processing. The milk is then frozen in 2 to 4 ounce bottles for shipment to hospital neonatal intensive care units. Twenty-seven-year-old Madeleine Williams, a donor and mother to her own 7-month-old son, is hoping more mothers will donate surplus breast milk. She recently donated more than 300 ounces of surplus breast milk to Overlake’s new milk depot. She’s a nurse in Overlake Medical Center’s Emergency Department. She uses a breast pump during breaks to express milk for her son and extra milk for the Mother’s Milk Depot. “We’ve been so blessed with a healthy child,” Williams said. But she also knows there are families who are not able to produce milk for their premature infants. “There are babies out there who are dying because they don’t have this nourishing milk that they need for their bodies. I feel so lucky to be able to give such a unique gift,” she said. Milk banks depend on “drop off ” milk depots to meet the growing demand for donated human milk. Only milk from a HMBANA milk bank can safely be given to preterm infants in the hospital. For more information about Overlake Medical Center’s new mother’s milk depot and to learn about how to donate, call 425-635-6150.

Voices of Bellevue: Phyllis Knick Eastside Heritage Center’s oral history collection contains over 250 interviews. In the following excerpt from her 1978 oral history (edited for clarity) Phyllis Knick talks about the schools in the Bellevue area in the 1920s. Interviewer: Well that last year when you were in the old Main Street School, was the building almost in a shambles in those days, or was it in pretty good shape? Phyllis Knick: It was makeshift. For instance, our typing class was a portion of a big classroom, and they had blocked it off with windows. The typing teacher gave us our lessons, and we practiced, and then she had to go off and teach music somewhere, so the algebra teacher would look in on to the typing kids to see they behaved. And, downstairs, the science was just an added-on, makeshift kind of thing. It wasn’t really in shambles. Interviewer: What schools were there at that time, in the area? Phyllis: There was an elementary school at Wilburton, I believe. There was Highland. Then there was – now let me think – Beaux Art. I don’t know – maybe it went to the fourth grade or something like that.
Nearly 500 Symetra employees mobilized around the Puget Sound region — and across the country — in support of local communities during the sixth-annual “Symetra Week of Service,” held July 7-11. Locally, five Bellevue organizations benefited from Symetra volunteer crews. Collectively, 41 employees contributed 139 hours of manpower — helping organize a field day for preschoolers at the Bellevue Family YMCA, paint a room used by families at Kindering, clean and organize shelter space at Sophia’s Place, sort donations and stock shelves at Hopelink food bank and spread bark on dogwalking trails for the Seattle Humane Society in Bellevue. “Giving back to the communities in which we live and work is part of the fabric of Symetra and a core value our employees have wholeheartedly embraced,” said Tom Marra, Symetra president and CEO. “Like our springtime I CARE Employee Giving campaign, which shattered records

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.
