Education Hill residents face financial issues from flooding SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Paula Parks and her husband have been living in their Education Hill home since 1995. Living toward the top of the hill in the 9200 block of 166th Place Northeast,
the last thing they thought they’d be dealing with was flooding. But that is exactly what they and a couple of their neighbors are dealing with currently.
ALL OF A SUDDEN
For Parks, it began a few weeks ago when water
began rushing into her 94-year-old mother-in-law’s downstairs bedroom from the closet like a faucet. The water flooded the bedroom and seeped through to the entire floor. Parks said they put everything up on cinderblocks and used a shopvac to suck up as much
water as they could. They worked for two days and one night, but it was rushing in too quickly for them to keep up with the flow. “All we could do was get things up (off the ground),” she said. As a result of the flooding, Parks’ mother-in-law,
her pregnant daughter and 2-year-old granddaughter have all been displaced from their bedrooms downstairs. In addition, Parks said they had to tear up all the flooring and remove the damaged plasterboard. In the 20 years that they have lived in that house,
Parks said they have never had any sort of water runoff issues except some minor runoff during the winter months. Which is why their current problems have caught them by surprise. “It just shocked everybody,” Parks said. [ more FLOODING page 7 ]
People speak out about Blast off for Aerojet Rocketdyne preserving historic Nokomis building SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
As the process continues to knock down the old Nokomis building at 16210 N.E. 80th St. in Redmond to make way for a new development, people have been voicing their concerns about seeing the early 1930s building go. At last week’s City Council meeting on March 3, a few people spoke during the public comments portion of the evening to share their thoughts on the topic. In addition, the city received three appeals from community members regarding the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) determination for the site. One of those appeals was regarding parking, said Gary Lee, a senior planner for the City of Redmond. He said the appellant said there is not enough parking planned for the site, although the
developer provided a parking analysis stating that the planned number of spots — 0.3 per unit, as opposed to the required 0.5 spots per unit — will be adequate. The other two appeals the city received, Lee said, challenged the historic nature of the old Nokomis building and the appellants would like to see the building preserved. Steven Fischer, a planning manager for the City of Redmond, said the next step in the process is for the city to review and approve the developer’s land-use permit. He said there will be an opportunity to appeal this decision, as well. After that, Fischer said the city will hold a consolidated appeal meeting — which will include the SEPA appellants as well as anyone who may appeal the land-use permit. A date has not been set for the meeting yet as the [ more NOKOMIS page 5 ]

Workers on Redmond campus play major role in launching people into deep space with Orion mission SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
On Dec. 5, 2014, NASA took one step closer toward human exploration in deep space, thanks in part to
Aerojet Rocketdyne in Redmond. Aerojet Rocketdyne — an aerospace and defense company that provides propulsion and energetics to the space, missile defense and strategic systems (among other
things) — provided propulsion for the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV). On Tuesday, Larry Price with Lockheed Martin, the company that built the Orion spacecraft’s command module, visited Aerojet Rocketdyne in Redmond to thank those involved in the Orion Exploration Flight Test-1 (EFT-1) mission.

Redmond-area shoppers flock to new Haggen store ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Manager Ben Floyd and his associates couldn’t wait until 4 p.m. They were thrilled to unveil their new Haggen supermarket with customers, so they opened the doors a few minutes early on Tuesday. With the conversion from Albertsons to Haggen complete at 3925 236th Ave. N.E. in unincorporated King County near Redmond, shoppers strolled through the doors and up the aisles to check things out. Kids were excited to get free hats and balls and they tagged along with their parents with their eyes fixated on the abundance of colors inside.
Shoppers make their way to the entrance of the new Haggen supermarket near Redmond on Tuesday. Manager Ben Floyd opened the doors a few minutes before the scheduled 4 p.m. unveiling. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter

Customers peruse Haggen’s expanded produce department during Tuesday’s grand opening near Redmond. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter “My family, we liked the new paintings (of green hills, produce and farms),” said Redmond’s Dawn Meyers, who learned of the grand opening from a friend the day before. Added Ruby (last name withheld) from Fall City: “They’ve done a nice job up here. The produce is really nice. We bought some cabbage and bananas. My grandson works here and he seems to think it’s pretty nice. If the employees like it, the people are probably going to like it.” Pat Harris, another Redmond resident, was pleased with the conversion and plans on making plenty of return trips to Haggen. Floyd, who was also the manager for Albertsons before the switch-over, said they closed at 6 p.m. on March 8 to begin the conversion. While workers changed the signage
and dug into a plethora of major tasks, the pharmacy was open to customers on Monday and Tuesday. “We worked many, many hours. I like to work side by side with my crew out here,” Floyd said. “I walked in Monday morning about 5 a.m. and I had hundreds of construction workers in here, from painters, the floor guys, people putting in my produce department. It was a big team effort.” All of Floyd’s roughly 70 associates from Albertsons have remained on board at Haggen. As he looked around the store, Floyd pointed to the expanded produce department, which features a large organic section. He added that they will receive produce deliveries seven days a week from Seattle. Floyd’s eyes lit up when he mentioned that they’ll make fresh salads in the
deli every morning; in the meat section, they’ll offer Double R Ranch beef and Kobe steaks; and the expanded seafood section features fresh and local items. “Some of the offerings that we have for our customers, it’s been what our associates have been wanting in this area for a long, long time,” Floyd said. “Now we get to take care of our customers and that’s the most important thing.” Floyd added that there will be two more stages of the conversion to come, including the liquor department and other sections. The Redmond-area store is among 26 Washington Albertsons and Safeways being converted to Haggens. Overall, the Bellingham-based company plans to acquire and convert 146 stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona in the first half of this year. There will be an informal public meeting from 5-6 p.m. on April 3 at the Trilogy at Redmond Ridge Cascade Club, Crystal Room, 23225 N.E. Greens Crossing Road. At the meeting, local farmers and producers can discuss selling their wares on Haggen’s shelves; nonprofit organizations can learn about Haggen’s community giving; and small businesses can explore co-marketing programs. With each store opening, Haggen plans to partner with five local nonprofits, donating $1,000 to a single organization on the first day the store opens and 2 percent of sales to four additional organizations on four consecutive Saturdays.

Transportation issue is severe, complicated Thanks for your great article on transportation on page 6 of the March 6 edition. This is the topic that keeps me up at night as we are in a crisis. The transportation issue is so severe and complicated as it is caused by so many factors, including annexations, competing interests and with a huge difference in power balance. Properly funding transportation is vital to our future. The proposed state package is for 16 years and will take the state bonding capacity to the range of 90 percent. So it is not likely that there will be another package during that time. That is a long window to wait if your project is not in the package. The local/unincorporated roads were budgeted for about $375 million statewide over the next 16 years. It is so sad. What does that mean? It means that it does very little for the 1,500 miles of King County roads (the approximate distance as from the Canadian border to the Mexican border). These roads need $250 million more a YEAR than what is raised by only the unincorporated road tax. The $375 million approximately statewide gives King County only $1.15 million...a far cry from the needed $250 million. So without the money to fix the roads, they will continue to get worse with no funding source in sight. This is awful. The annexations over the last two decades have placed the tax base in the cities. Yet 93 percent of the roads stayed with the county while the funding sources went away. Even the bonds on a road did not go with the citizens who had been part of the original bond. So when areas incorporated, they no longer had to pay the payments on the existing bonds. This only makes the problem worse. Paying for the road repairs now will SAVE money over waiting 16 years and having the roads be in far worse condition. It is like a leaky roof — if it is not fixed, the cost of the damage repairs adds greatly to the cost. The “roof ” needs to come off on this topic so people know why this is so important and keeping me awake at night. As the legislators have their community meetings next weekend, they need to hear from citizens how important preserving our road system countywide is vital to all of us. Emails to all members of the Legislature is important, too. Unincorporated roads need the funds to be properly maintained — now.

RHS students: Tobacco prevention education can save lives We are a student body of 1,864 and we each have our own story of how tobacco has impacted us, our friends and our family members. The use of tobacco products in high schools like e-cigs and cigarettes is increasing rapidly and something needs to be done about it. Currently, Washington legislators allocate $1.5 million for tobacco prevention when $64 million is what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends we spend, according to the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids “Broken Promises to our Children” annual report. We spend only 2.9 percent of what the
CDC recommends! Alaska allocated 95.4 percent of what the CDC recommended they spend on prevention and they have experienced the largest drop in tobacco use of all 50 states. Furthermore, our state spends $2 billion each year exclusively on health-care costs directly related to tobacco use, the report adds. The leading cause of preventable death in the United States is tobacco use — this isn’t something that can be ignored any longer. These are lives that are being lost every single day. With more than $500 million coming into Washington from tobacco taxes each year and $76 million from tobacco-related settlements, none of that money is going toward tobacco prevention. The tobacco company master settlement agreement occurred in 1998, which is the year many of us were born. The money from this settlement was intended to fund prevention education for our generation, and it has failed us! Let’s not fail the next generation. These are lives we are talking about. More money allocated to prevention education means more lives saved. It means more generations saved.

Rep. Goodman ignored FGM ban Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a barbaric practice that should be banned throughout the world. According to the Population Reference Bureau, the number of girls at risk of FGM — roughly 500,000 — has more than doubled in the United States since 2000. Last month, representatives in Congress introduced the Zero Tolerance for FGM Act. Similarly, representatives in Olympia introduced a bill (HB 1423) to criminalize FGM in our state, require reporting of instances to authorities and require prosecutors to keep annual statistics. That information would help our state determine the extent of the problem and determine the best strategy to end the cruel and painful practice. Yes, believe it or not, our state has not yet outlawed FGM. You may be even more shocked to learn that Redmond’s Rep. Roger Goodman (45th Legislative District) refused to give HB 1423 a public hearing in his Public Safety committee. Thus, the bill died. If there were any bill this year or any other year that deserved a thorough hearing and unanimous support in both houses, it is a bill to ban FGM. It is unconscionable that Goodman ignored this bill and continued to allow the lives of thousands of girls in our state to be endangered. But it gets worse. Goodman also voted against HB 1476, which would have ended an exemption in state law that allows members of one and
only one religion — Christian Scientists — to let their children, including infants, die without medical treatment. Other than the blatantly unconstitutional preferential treatment of one religion over others, this exemption is nothing but a green light for child neglect. But apparently Goodman put the dangerous and backwards practices of a declining religion above the rights of defenseless children. I recommend that everyone in the 45th Legislative District who cares about protecting the lives of children, especially girls at risk of FGM, think twice about re-electing Roger Goodman.

We should fund transit AND fight global warming Two weeks ago, my wife and I were riding Sound Transit home from Benaroya Hall to Redmond at 9:30 p.m. This was far outside of regular commuting hours, and yet nearly every seat on the bus was occupied. We ride the bus because it’s easy, it prevents congestion and we care about our carbon footprint. And yet even with transit ridership at its highest and the increasing threats of global warming to our health and our economy, Senate Republicans like Andy Hill have tied our hands with a “poison pill” transportation package. We’ve waited for years for a transportation package that will fund roads, bridges, transit and bicycle and pedestrian options. Yet this Republican bill says we have to make a false choice — if Gov. Jay Inslee moves forward with plans to fight global warming, then any funding for transit in the bill is entirely cut. We can do better. If the Republicans listened to what their constituents want, they would not pit the environment against transportation options. My senator, Cyrus Habib (D), made a great comment that, “Riding a bicycle or taking the bus are not necessarily environmental policies. People have been doing that since before Al Gore was born.” It’s common sense to fight global warming, prevent the wildfires ravaging eastern Washington and save our $100 millions shellfish industry. It’s also common sense to ease the congestions on our road with more transit options so more of my neighbors feel comfortable relying on the bus, too. Let’s hope the Senate Republicans grow some common sense and listen to the progressives in the House and Senate who want to fix both.

Alexa Munoz, president of the Nokomis Club of Redmond, was one of the individuals to speak at last week’s council meeting and would like to see the building preserved. She said she gave the council a background on the building, which was constructed in 1933 and housed the city’s first library. “It’s actually very important,” Munoz said about the building. In addition to the building’s literary roots, she said it is also significant in that a women’s club had it built — and during the Great Depression, when money was scarce. Munoz said the women ran the library, working as librarians, janitorial staff and more. They would also visit secondhand bookstores in Seattle to purchase books for the library. On top of all of this, Munoz said, the women would then go home to take care of their families — all during a time before many modern appliances. “It really was a lot of hard labor,” she said. Rosemarie Ives, former mayor for the City of Redmond, would also like to see the old Nokomis building preserved. Like Munoz, Ives stressed the significance of having a group of women, “the matriarchs of Redmond,” taking charge to get the building constructed, run the library and provide a space members of the community could use — especially during a time when women were at the bottom of the totem pole. “This is an important building,” she said. Joe Townsend, president of the Redmond Historical Society, added that the old Nokomis building was constructed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which was later renamed as the Works Projects Administration. The WPA was formed as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal programs. The New Deal

40-year relationship with Aerojet Rocketdyne and that the company has a long heritage of reliability, which is important. Price said the Orion project started three or four years ago and it has been an incremental process. Following Orion’s first flight in December of last year, he said there will be two more upcoming unmanned flights before the craft will take off with people on board. The goal, Price said, is to demonstrate the mission’s capabilities and affordability so there can be more projects like Orion in the future. He said they want to be as economically efficient as possible in order to maximize taxpayers’ dollars. A total of 20 engines and motors for Orion were built in Redmond, said Jennifer McCormick, one of the Aerojet Rocketdyne project man-

agers for Orion. Along with fellow project manager Kim Wierenga, the two women led teams that worked on engines for both manned and unmanned modules of the spacecraft. McCormick said Aerojet Rocketdyne has a history of supporting manned and unmanned space missions and Orion puts them back into the manned arena. “It does mean a lot of engineering work,” she admitted. McCormick said when it comes to the engineering for a manned spacecraft, there is a need for higher reliability, higher safety factors and stricter margins. There are about 400 people working onsite at the Redmond Aerojet Rocketdyne location and Wierenga said — like any project they work on — every department and division was involved in Orion and it came out to be about 100 full-time equivalent employees working on the project. Wierenga said they set up an assembly line specifically for Orion at Aerojet Rocketdyne but they were also able to share the line operations for other programs and projects within the company. With Aerojet Rocketdyne — which is headquartered in Sacramento, Calif. — in Redmond, McCormick and Wierenga said they are able to pull from the local talent pool of expertise as other aerospace companies such as Boeing are located in the area. In addition, the University of Washington also provides the company with fresh talent. The two women know this from personal experience. “We both came from the University of Washington,” Wierenga said.

www.redmond-reporter.com [ FLOODING from page 1] For Andy Galvins, Parks’ next-door neighbor, the problems began in December 2014. “My basement began to have some water seepage, and within a week my basement was flooded,” he said. Galvins and his wife have been living in their home for almost 20 years and like Parks and her husband, he said they have never had any issues with flooding until very recently. If anything, he said it was quite the opposite. “The corner at 166th (Place Northeast) has always been bone dry,” Galvins said. “So much that no matter how much I would water, I could not keep the grass from drying out and dying off. I now have moss growing there and cannot mow because you sink into the mud.” It is a similar story for Ana Ulici, who lives on the other side of Parks’ home. She has been living in her home for more than two decades and like Parks and Galvins, has never experienced any sort of flooding. But now, several creeks have appeared in her back yard, just like in Parks’ yard. “It’s all flooded,” she said. “It’s all saturated.” For now, it has only been Ulici’s back yard that has flooded. The water has not hit inside her home yet as she is located higher on the hill than Galvins and Parks. The three homeowners have not heard of any flooding issues from any other neighbors in their cul-de-sac, but all of those homes are higher on the hill.
SAFETY CONCERNS
In addition to the flooding from the residents’ back yards, the water runoff has leached out onto the sidewalk along the east side of
166th Avenue Northeast — even when it has not been raining. “This water never stops,” said Charlie Cox, stormwater operations supervisor for the City of Redmond. He said when it is cold out, the water turns to ice so they have had to come out to de-ice the sidewalk. The sudden flooding has also raised concerns about possible landslides on the hill, for Parks, Ulici and Galvins. But Linda DeBoldt, public works director for the City of Redmond, said initial assessments by a city geological tech indicate that the area is not at risk for a landslide.
TAKING A FINANCIAL HIT
Since then, Parks said they have had the concrete floor of their home jackhammered up to install a drainage system, costing $14,000. It would cost an additional $10,000 for a contractor to come in and redo their downstairs. She said they cannot afford this, so her husband has taken time off from work so they can do the work themselves. Parks added that since the water is coming from outside the home, their insurance won’t cover it since they do not have flood insurance. While the new drainage system has addressed the flooding inside her home, Parks’ back yard has turned into a swamp and now contains a new creek from the water emerging from underground. Galvins hired a specialist to put in a new drain and seal the foundation in front of his home to protect it from future flooding, which cost him $5,000. On Tuesday, Parks posted about her and her neighbors’ flooding issues on a Facebook group page for the Education Hill neighbor-
Education Hill residents Paula Parks (left) and Andy Galvins stand on a sidewalk along 166th Avenue Northeast, behind their homes, where groundwater is running down the hill on an otherwise dry day. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter hood. She asked if anyone has had groundwater problems like they have and by Wednesday morning, a number of people responded, voicing similar situations of water damage to their homes. One woman said she has spent more than $30,000 over the years, installing internal and external draining systems and they still have water problems.
WHERE IS IT COMING FROM?
As of right now, no one knows the water’s origins. “Common sense dictates that there must be failure of the groundwater system for there to be such a drastic change in the environment over such a short period of
time,” Galvins said. “That water is not just run off from the rain. It seems to be below ground and leaching out in various places and is easy to see in many places as you walk down the hill.” The city has tested the water to make sure it is not potable water — drinking water — which would indicate a line leakage or some other system failure the city controls and could address. DeBoldt said they test for elements such as chlorine and fluoride in the water, which would indicate the water had been treated. However, she said, the water does not contain any of these, indicating it is naturally occurring groundwater. “That had been done
multiple times (in the last four or five years),” said Cox about the water runoff in the area. While the water’s origin is still a mystery, DeBoldt and Cox said there are a number of things that may have caused the flooding. They said the area could be on top of a perched water table. This means there are different layers of soil underground. One layer could be impermeable and not allow water to flow through, leading to the soil layer above to become saturated, eventually to the point of flooding. DeBoldt said among the other factors that could explain the increased amount of groundwater surfacing on Parks’ property, there
could be possible impacts of nearby construction and development. Construction excavations that disrupt soil could allow water traveling underground to shift course and wind up changing where it may have surfaced in the past, DeBoldt said. Also, more frequent and intense rainfall due to climate change could explain increase amounts of groundwater surfacing. She said, based on the city’s tests, it does not appear to be a failure in city infrastructure. Because of this, DeBoldt said the city can only offer advice to residents on how to solve their problems and not money as that would be a gift of public funds.

retirement and depend more heavily on Social Security. Women reaching age 65 are expected to live, on average, an additional 21.6 years, compared with 19.3 years for men, according to the Social Security Administration, which also reports that the average annual Social Security income received by women 65 years and older was about $12,500. Furthermore, Social Security comprises about 50 percent of the total income for unmarried women age 65 and older, compared to just 36 percent for elderly men. Potential solution: To become less dependent on Social Security, create a sustainable withdrawal strategy for your investment portfolio. Social Security was designed to supplement one’s retirement income, not replace it. Consequently, it’s essential that you make full use of your other sources of income, such as your 401(k), IRA and other investment accounts. To make this money last, you’ll need to create a sustainable withdrawal strategy early in your retirement — and stick to it. Challenge: Women are far more likely than men to need some type of long-term care. More than two-thirds of nursing home residents are women, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. And the average cost
for a private room in a nursing home is more than $87,000 per year, according to the 2014 Cost of Care Survey produced by Genworth, a financial services company. Typically, Medicare covers only a small percentage of these costs. Potential solution: Prepare in advance for long-term care expenses. Long-term care costs can be enormous, but you do have some protection-related options for meeting these costs.
Check with your financial adviser to learn which of these choices might be most appropriate for your situation.

On March 8, we observed International Women’s Day. On this occasion, thousands of events across the world honored the cultural, political and social achievements of women. Of course, in many countries, women still face significant economic challenges. And even here in the United States, women encounter more obstacles than men in the pursuit of financial security, particularly in seeking a comfortable retirement lifestyle. So if you are a woman — regardless of your marital status — you will need to be aware of these challenges and take steps to overcome them. Let’s consider a few of these challenges and some possible solutions: Challenge: Women spend more time out of the workforce and accumulate less money in 401(k) plans. Women spend an average of 12 years out of the workforce caring for children or elderly parents, compared with less than two years for men, according to the Social Security Administration. This time away from work can translate into less money in retirement plans — in fact, women’s average 401(k) balance is only about two-thirds as large as men’s, according to a study by Fidelity Investments. Potential solution: Take full advantage of your 401(k) and IRA. Your care-giving obligations are an issue to be decided by you, your spouse and perhaps other family members. But while you are working, contribute as much as you possibly can to your 401(k) or similar employer-sponsored plan. Also, try to fully fund your IRA each year. Challenge: Women typically live more years in

Last week, OneRedmond members traveled to Barcelona, Spain, with the Washington Interactive Network (WIN), to attend the Mobile World Congress (MWC). Bart Phillips, CEO for OneRedmond, said there were two purposes to the trip. The first was to support the 19 Washington companies that were attending the show to expand their businesses. The second purpose of the trip was to promote Redmond and the greater Puget Sound region as an essential location for those in the gaming industry. OneRedmond is part of WIN, a nonprofit whose mission is to promote, nurture and grow the interactive media (gaming) industry cluster in Washington. According to its website, “by foster-
ing a community around the industry cluster, WIN has helped to create more, high-quality jobs in the region.” Phillips said at the MWC, they were part of a booth representing the state, under the Department of Commerce’s “Choose Washington” brand. In addition to OneRedmond, all 19 of the businesses they traveled with were also part of the booth. Phillips said they helped the small companies line up appointments with other vendors to discuss their business. “Their schedules were packed,” he said. One of those businesses attending MWC was Codeproof, a Redmondbased technology startup that provides a platform for companies to protect their data on employeeowned devices if the devices are lost or stolen. Founder and CEO Satish Shetty said he
attended the conference to promote his business internationally and meet customers. Since Codeproof is an online business, he said he really enjoyed being able to meet with people in person and one-on-one. “That’s really helpful,” he said. Shetty said he met with nine companies and was able to generate some leads. He was also able to connect with the other Washington companies in the Choose Washington booth — something he wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise, despite being in the same state. “We had a good time,” Shetty said. In addition to meeting with people, Shetty said he visited other booths at the conference. MWC featured more than 1,900 companies and Phillips said about [ more BUSINESS page 11 ]

Visit state parks for a ‘free day’ March 19 Washington State Parks turns 102 years old on March 19, and visitors are invited to help celebrate by getting out to enjoy a state park for free that day. With the 2015 spring and summer seasons just around the corner, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission reminds the public that there are recreation opportunities available in more than 100 parks, trails
and recreation sites all over the state. March 19 is the third of 12 State Parks “free days” in 2015, when visitors are not required to display the Discover Pass to visit a park. “These free days are great way for people to explore a new park or return to an old favorite,” said Commission Chair Pat Lantz of Gig Harbor. “Once people realize just what they have in Washington state parks, we hope they consider buying a Discover Pass. Revenues from the pass are so important; they help keep our parks open and accessible.”

BRIEFS
Grande to participate in Overlake School Writers’ Symposium Award-winning novelist Reyna Grande will spend the day with students at The Overlake School at this year’s Writers’ Symposium on Monday. Grande is best known for her novels “Across a Hundred Mountains” and “Dancing with Butterflies.” She recently published “The Distance Between Us,” a memoir of her life before and after immigrating from Mexico to the U.S. In a synopsis of her book, her website states: “Born in Mexico and raised by her grandparents after her parents left to find work in the U.S., at nine years old, Reyna enters the U.S. as an undocumented immigrant to live with her father.” Grande will be working with upper-school students during the afternoon and will be holding an evening
discussion from 7:30-9 p.m. in Discovery Hall on The Overlake School campus. The Writers’ Symposium is a unique program at Overlake, which has been providing students exposure to a variety of professional authors through in-depth writing workshops and lectures. For more information, visit www.overlake.org.
Redmond/ Kirkland Relay for Life hosting clothing-drive fundraisers The Redmond/Kirkland Relay for Life will host clothing-drive fundraisers with Value Village at Redmond High School. Dates and times are from 1-4 p.m. on March 29 and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 2. The American Cancer Society is recruiting teams from businesses, schools, families, places of worship and more to participate in the Relay For Life of Redmond/Kirkland event, which will be held June 20-21 at the Redmond High School football field.

The Relay For Life program is a community based event where teams and individuals set up campsites at a school, park or fairground and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team has at least one participant on the track at all times. Cancer survivors and caregivers take a celebratory first lap to start each event. Four million people participated in more than 6,000 events worldwide in 2014. Last year, 430 people participated in the Redmond/Kirkland relay and raised more than $130,000, all to support the society’s mission to finish the fight against cancer once and for all.
Trio to discuss animal-rights awareness Aya Watson, Yulia Garaeva and Anika Amdahl will be holding an animal-rights
awareness discussion from 5-7 p.m. on March 29 at the Redmond Regional Library. They will be presenting a report on animal testing and animal abuse and how to prevent it.
Bounds to emcee Legacy for Learning luncheon The Lake Washington Schools Foundation will host its 10th annual Legacy for Learning luncheon on April 29 at Juanita High School in Kirkland. The generosity of the community has allowed the foundation to invest nearly $2 million in students in the Lake Washington School District. Learn how the foundation plans to grow and increase its impact on students by more than doubling its investment to benefit more kids across our growing district. The foundation hopes to raise $600,000 at the luncheon in order to support this growth. Dennis Bounds, KINGTV, will emcee the luncheon and students from every grade will be featured in a “Mission on Parade” sharing stories about how
foundation-funded programs inspired their learning. Registration and the student showcase will begin at 11 a.m. and the luncheon program will follow from 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Register to attend or donate to support the event at www.lwsf.org or call (425) 936-1414 to be a table captain, corporate partner or volunteer.
Redmond Historical Society receives 4Culture grant The Redmond Historical Society has received a new heritage collections care grant from 4Culture of King County — totaling $5,700 — to digitize its extensive collection of the Sammamish Valley News (SVN), a local newspaper published weekly for nearly 100 years in Western Washington. This is the second consecutive year that the society has received funding for this project, to be completed in the first half of 2015. Currently the SVN archive covers individual papers from 1946-67. The public can search by topic, or by person. The direct
link to the archives is www. rhs.stparchive.com/.
Antioch Adoptions to host benefit dinner To support its no-fee adoption services and further its efforts on behalf of displaced children in Washington, Redmond’s Antioch Adoptions will be hosting its “Dream BIG” Benefit Dinner from 6-9 p.m. on March 28 at Pine Lake Covenant Church, 1715 228th Ave. S.E., Sammamish. Tickets are available at no charge, but registration is required online at www. antiochadoptions.org. “By relying on private donations and grants for funding, we’ve been able to open doors to hundreds more families to adopt, thereby providing permanent homes for children who may have otherwise lingered in foster care,” said Chris Foster, director of Antioch Adoptions. According to Antioch Adoptions, with private agency fees often exceeding $20,000 per adopted child in Washington, many potential adoptive families are “priced out” of the option.

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question. The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm. And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.
