Redmond council votes to put levy measures on Aug. 4 ballot SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
At Tuesday’s meeting, Redmond City Council unanimously voted to put two property tax levy measures on the Aug. 4 ballot. The vote was 6-0, with one council member, Byron Shutz, absent. One levy will address public safety and infrastructure. The second levy will address the city’s parks.
BREAKING DOWN THE NUMBERS
The total cost of the two levies is $33.2 million and voters will be able to vote on each measure separately. For a home with an assessed value of $500,000, that comes down to an increase in property tax of $174.50 per year, or $14.54 per month. Mike Bailey, finance director for the city, said
the six-year levies are split into ongoing and one-time costs. The ongoing cost is about $4.83 million, meaning that is how much it will cost each year, for a total of just less than $29 million, Bailey said. Broken down, it is about $4.36 million for the public safety and infrastructure levy and $474,500 for the park improvements levy.
CITY NEWS
According to the city’s website, these ongoing costs include continued support for police, school resource officers and firefighters from a previous levy, investments in additional police personnel for property crimes and maintaining the city’s roads and sidewalks and parks and trails. The one-time cost of the two levies is about $4.2 million, with $200,000 for public safety and infrastructure and $4.044 million for park
improvements. Bailey said these expenses are for specific projects or items such as outfitting a new police officer with a uniform and car or a specific project such as fixing up a park and its parking lot.
WHY THEY’RE NEEDED
While Redmond City Council voted just this week, the levies were in the works for a while. Council member Hank Myers said the levies were
the only item on the agenda for council’s annual retreat, which was in February this year. He said with the council, it wasn’t a matter of whether or not to have a levy, it was about figuring out what would be the best package to present to voters. Myers said while he always feels the city can operate more efficiently, the things the levies will pay for are good projects. Though [ more LEVIES page 6 ]

Redmond Town Center Easter Eggstravaganza Children hunt for eggs at Redmond Town Center’s Easter Eggstravanganza last Saturday. Approximately 10,000 people attended the event. Children participated in three egg hunts, jumped on a bouncy house and obstacle course, painted Easter tiles, cracked thunder eggs, decorated eggs, blew bubbles, decorated bunny ears and had their Easter photo taken with festive props. Crowds enjoyed cotton candy and lemonade from the snack stand, petted bunnies, played giant Jenga and enjoyed a bean-bag toss. Goodie bags were distributed to attendees with discounts for Redmond Town Center retailers. Spirit 105.3 sponsored the event. Courtesy of Jessica Morgan
A class-action lawsuit between a group of homeowners from Trilogy on Redmond Ridge and Shea Homes Inc. was dismissed after the two parties reached a settlement last month. The terms of the settlement are confidential, but according to Shea’s recent public U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, under its “Legal Claims” section, the company accrued “$13.3 million in connection with the settlement and related matters.” The filing continues, stating that one of Shea’s insurance carriers has denied coverage for the settlement and due to the uncertainty of this dispute, “there can be no assurance the ultimate
outcome will not be significantly different than the recorded reserve. If, for example, the insurance carrier prevails, (Shea) could be obligated up to an additional $9.7 million for the settlement and related matters.” The homeowners filed the lawsuit on Oct. 10, 2014 in federal court for the Western District of Washington against the California-based homebuilder for allegedly acting unfairly and deceptively in building, marketing and selling homes specifically marketed to elderly buyers. Seattle-based law firms Levy–von Beck & Associates and Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP represented the plaintiffs, which comprised 967 homes in Trilogy and more than 1,500 residents.

50th ANNIVERSARY VIETNAM WAR COMMEMORATION LOCAL EVENTS APRIL 12-17
Seattle and Washington State have an unusual role in the Vietnam War Commemoration, a national initiative to thank Vietnam veterans a half century after the United States rapidly escalated its deployment of troops to South Vietnam following the Gulf of Tonkin incident. Many of the troops who returned home were met with disdain rather than with the thanks that veterans of other conflicts received. Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent who authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once... And Young” (adapted into the 2002 film “We Were Soldiers”), is in Seattle for a week of interviews with local Vietnam veterans. He will speak at Seattle Rotary’s noon luncheon April 15 and will be featured at a breakfast interview session at the Columbia Tower Club on April 17. The Vietnam War Commemoration is aimed at spurring events and activities in states, cities and towns around the country to recognize Vietnam veterans and their families for their service and sacrifice. The partners’ program is designed for state and local communities, veterans’ organizations and other nongovernmental organizations to assist in thanking and honoring Vietnam Veterans and their families.

Vietnam author Galloway to visit Seattle Joe Galloway, the Vietnam correspondent whose book “We Were Soldiers Once… and Young” and the movie “We Were Soldiers” that was produced from it, will be in Seattle doing a week of interviews with Vietnam veterans as a special project for the 50th Anniversary Commemorative. Galloway has been going around the country doing three two-hour interviews a day with Vietnam veterans from across the services spectrum and by now has well over 75 two-hour interviews done, as he explained it, “beginning with Colin Powell and working outward.” Galloway was a Texas boy who became a correspondent for United Press International and, in the battle of Ia Drang that his book and its movie adaptation made famous, he was decorated for heroism on the battlefield, receiving the bronze star for rescuing two wounded soldiers while under fire. He was praised by the late Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf as “the soldiers’ reporter” because of his caring and regard for those whose battles he covered.

Lawmakers can ensure opportunity for students, economic growth with STEM education investments Innovative companies across the state such as Avista and Zulily have made Washington one of the leaders in the country in the concentration of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) jobs. However, our education system is facing challenges to keep up with the demand to produce a diverse and world-class workforce. According to the Boston Consulting Group’s (BCG) report Opportunity for All: Investing in Washington State’s STEM Education Pipeline, only nine out of 100 children born in Washington will go on to be employed in a STEM-related field—far fewer than the number of people needed to fill these high skilled positions. Washington lawmakers must take bold actions to strengthen the STEM pipeline from cradle to career. According to a recent poll commissioned by Washington STEM, they have overwhelming public support to do just that. Gov. Jay Inslee’s proposed budget includes STEM investments to increase degree production in computer science and engineering, expand access to STEM degrees through student scholarships and academic support programs, and support teacher training in computer science. A bipartisan group of legislators have also proposed the following four pieces of legislation to help give students a high-quality cradle to career STEM education. In Washington, the most common jobs are software developers. These jobs are found in more places than just technology companies. Two thirds of these jobs are in places like Washington State Department of Transportation, Starbucks or Nordstrom. The bipartisan Patrick D’Amelio

team of Rep. Hansen and Rep. Magendanz are championing House Bill 1813 that would help prepare students for these in demand careers that require a high-quality computer science education. The bill establishes education standards for computer science, matches private funding to train teachers, and prioritizes investments to reach underrepresented students first. Poll respondents overwhelmingly support actions like these as well as expanding the number of schools offering computer science. Rep. Kagi and Sen. Litzow are championing bills in the House and Senate that would create The Early Start Act to improve the quality of Washington’s childcare and preschools. Introducing our youngest students to STEM will set them up for a lifetime of opportunity, success, and interest in STEM. More than 70 percent of Washington voters support improving early learning programs to help improve STEM outcomes. Rep. Lytton, Rep. Magendanz, and Rep. Bergquist are sponsoring House Bill 1345 that would adopt a statewide definition of teacher professional development; this will help drive the millions spent annually on teacher professional development to better outcomes for teachers and students. Teachers are the most important factor in student
achievement and more than 90 percent of voters recognize that supporting teachers is critical to giving students a high-quality STEM education. Schools need state-of-the-art classroom environments to help students explore and learn STEM subjects. More than 80 percent of Washington voters support legislation like Senate Bill 5478, sponsored by Sen. Dammeier, Sen. Keiser, Sen. Honeyford, Sen. Angel and Sen. Conway that would create a K-12 STEM Capital Grants Program to fund necessary improvements in aging schools. Budget writers should prioritize STEM investments, which yield a high return, in forthcoming budget proposals. According to the BCG report a $650 million annual investment in STEM education yields $4.5 billion in additional tax revenues and socialspending savings per year, a sevenfold return on investment. This year, lawmakers are grappling with historic decisions about the state’s education system. Taking these bold actions on STEM education now ensures that all Washington students will have the opportunity to succeed in the state’s strong STEM economy.
Patrick D’Amelio is the CEO of Washington STEM.

Part of Cleveland Street still has ‘dangerous’ sidewalks Editor’s note: The following letter addresses the recent Cleveland Street improvement project. Maybe now they can find the money to replace the dangerous sidewalks along Cleveland Street, east of the new stretch. Though not very old, the sidewalk has surrendered to the trees and weather, and has heaved up all along the way, between the cement, the inset bricks and the poor attempt by the city to fill in the huge gaps with asphalt. There is not one area of flat pavement, and nowhere else to walk but on extremely uneven sidewalk, and there are many places where there is suddenly a several inch difference in height. It is a lawsuit waiting to happen, especially as the city is “inviting” the public to spend evenings on that street, without clear lighting all the way along that area of Cleveland. I twisted my ankle
a bit there two weeks ago, and when I started to closely examine the whole length of the two blocks I had to travel, I could not believe that the City of Redmond has allowed this obviously dangerous condition to continue. The problem is obvious, severe, did not just happen recently and continues for several blocks. Someone is going to suffer severe and permanent injuries someday soon, and it will be entirely the city’s fault.

Friendly Earth, Eastside Baby Corner team up to honor Earth Month Earth Day is April 22. In honor of Earth Month two local nonprofits, Seattle’s Friendly Earth and Issaquah’s Eastside Baby Corner, are joining to forces to collect and redistribute or recycle used laptops. Friendly Earth, whose mission is to keep electronics out of the landfill, will refurbish as many
of the laptops as possible and recycle the rest. Eastside Baby Corner, an organization dedicated to helping children thrive, will work through their social service network to give the refurbished laptops to local school children in need. The goal for the Laptops for Little Ones Drive is to collect 500 used laptops. Laptops will be accepted in any condition by both organizations — so people on either side of Lake Washington will have easy access to a drop-off site. Collection times and locations for Eastside Baby Corner can be found at www.babycorner.org/ donate-goods/. For drop-off times at Friendly Earth, please contact Andrew Shute at recycle@ friendlyearth.org. Additional collection sites would be greatly appreciated. Anyone interested in collecting laptops at their place of business should contact Christine White at christinew@ babycorner.org. Also welcome is the donation of software to install on the laptops before they are given to the children.

sion slip from the king, Barry said with a laugh. Torkel served in World War II, during which Sweden was neutral. After that, he immigrated to the Saskatchewan region of Canada, where some of his relatives were living. Torkel then moved to Mineral, Wash. near Mount Rainier. It was there that Torkel met his future wife, Barry’s mother Doreen, who was in town from Seattle visiting relatives, in 1948. Barry said the two met at a dance during Memorial Day weekend. Torkel was looking for someone who knew a Swedish dance called the schottis. Doreen, who had no Swedish heritage, was the only one who was familiar with it. Barry said Torkel had to return to Sweden for a few months, but he and Doreen
Torkel joined the Redmond City Council in 1970. “I’m not sure what egged him on to join,” Barry said. And while the reason behind Torkel’s choice to run and serve on council may be a bit of a mystery, there is no doubt that he put his term to good use. Torkel played a large role in preserving the Redmond Watershed. Barry said the area had been slated to become a small regional airport. As a teenager at the time, he said he was aware of the work his father was doing on the council, but he didn’t really realize the importance of preserving the watershed until about 15 years ago when the area’s trails were being developed. “Now I understand what he did,” Barry said about his thoughts at the time. In addition, Torkel supported development where

pensated. “The homeowners are very happy,” he said. As previously reported, the lawsuit alleged that Shea “knowingly ignored architect plans and building codes by omitting required exterior waterproofing components such as metal flashings intended to prevent water intrusion and rot damage.” As a result, residents’ homes incurred anywhere from
$5,000-$20,000 in damages, which include “garage floors that need pea gravel and moisture barriers, corbels and columns that need replacement, and windows, doors, patios, and decks that need flashing and new trim,” according to the earlier report. Von Beck said their clients are now in a position to be able to begin repairing their homes.
CIVIC MINDED
The Redmond community was always important to Torkel. Former Redmond City Council member and mayor Doreen Marchione
said he was always active in the community — even after he left the council. She added that Torkel supported her when she ran for council in the late 1970s. “He encouraged us to run for the council,” she said, referring to herself and another former council member who had served before she joined in 1977. Former Redmond council member Pat Vache agreed that Torkel was always civic minded. He said he would run into the other man at a local cafe every now and then and they would talk about Redmond. Vache added that Torkel knew a lot about the city and was interesting to talk to. “Wish I’d have known him better,” he said.
A STERN BUT FAIR FATHER As a father, Barry said
Torkel was stern but fair and his presence always made Barry straighten up a bit. Barry said his father never cared what any of his children did for a living, as long as they were happy. Barry was the only one of Torkel’s four children to follow in their father’s footsteps and go into the construction business. Torkel developed a number of properties around Redmond, some of which are still standing, Barry said. When asked about his favorite memory of his father, Barry said there is nothing specific as he has been flooded with so many, but he does remember his father’s smile. Service and life stories information is being developed by Torkel’s family and will be posted as soon as it comes available at www.cascademe morial.com.

One of the things Barry Nilson remembers about his father Torkel Nilson was how he made decisions and acted on them. “Once he made a decision, he moved and he moved fast,” Barry said. This quality of making a decision and sticking to it can be seen throughout Torkel’s life — from joining the Swedish navy, to meeting and marrying his wife, to joining the Redmond City Council. Torkel, who served on the council from 1970-73 died on March 23 in Redmond. He was 88 years old. He is survived by four children, six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Barry — a deputy fire marshal who has worked for the Redmond Fire Department for 22 years — is third in line among Torkel’s two sons and two daughters. He has an older sister and brother and a younger sister.
the Hyatt House hotel is now located. Barry said Torkel also worked to outlaw pinball machines in bars and taverns as they led to gambling. In the late 1970s, Torkel owned the property next to Fire Station 11 and was one of the earliest proponents of multi-story live-work space, which ultimately became a foundational element of the current model of several new developments in the city. “The city appreciates Mr. Nilson’s past service to his community and our thoughts are with his family during this tough time,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

exchanged letters — for which Torkel had to learn English. The two married in September of 1949. After that, the couple moved to Seattle. They started their family and in the summer of 1968, they moved to Redmond. Barry, who was 11 at the time, said he and his siblings all graduated from Redmond High School.

[6] April 10, 2015 he added that these projects should have been included in the city’s biennial budget — which was adopted in December 2014 — in the first place. Council member Kim Allen added that the levies are also to help the city keep up with infla-
tion as cities are only allowed to increase property taxes by 1 percent annually. “Keeping up with inflation is hard,” she said. The levies are about catching up, keeping up and looking toward the future, Allen added.
CITIZEN INPUT
Throughout the pro-
cess, the city has sought out public input. And Tuesday, when council voted to put the levies on the August ballot, was no different as there was a public hearing at the meeting before the vote. Tom Sanko, a 20-year Redmond resident and member of the city’s Parks and Trails Com-

Sanko added that he will be voting yes. “The levy provides for necessary safety improvements in terms of increasing police service, maintaining school resource officers and maintaining firefighter staffing,” he said. “Additionally the levy funds sidewalk, crosswalk and pedestrian crossing improvements to improve walkability in Redmond. Last but certainly not least, it also funds park and trail maintenance and enables substantial improvements in a number of city parks.” Sanko added that the levy addresses a lack of funding for the city’s

parks — particularly in the neighborhoods — especially considering the rapid growth Redmond is experiencing. “Parks funding has been an issue since before the Great Recession in 2008,” he said. Angela Birney, a 17year resident, also spoke at Tuesday’s meeting. As the current chair of the Parks and Trails Commission, the parks levy includes many of the items that would make a big impact on the city’s park system, including upgrading Westside Park, major improvements at Idylwood Park and ongoing maintenance for the city’s parks. “In the next few years, we as a city will have to reevaluate other improvements that might need to be made, but I feel the levies are a fair 1281774

I went to Koko FitClub only to try it with a friend and quickly became addicted. I was pleasantly surprised at the results I achieved that I had been unsuccessful at attaining at previous gyms. The program is easy to follow and for the first time I have stuck to it consistently. I don’t have to think about it, I just get myself there and follow the computer screen.

representation of input received from the public,” Birney said. “They will also fill a financial need to keep the city’s price of government at appropriate levels.”
MOVING FORWARD
Now that council has voted to put the levies on the ballot, the City of Redmond is now requesting letters of interest from citizens interested in serving on one of two Property Tax Levy Committees. Residents serving on these committees are responsible for writing arguments for voters’ pro and con positions for each of the two levies. These arguments must be filed with King County by May 18, with rebuttals filed by May 20. In addition to writing ballot arguments, residents serving on these committees (up to three people per committee) will be responsible for responding to media and citizen questions on the ballot measure over the next three months. Residents who would like to be considered to serve on these committees should submit their letter of interest to the City Clerk, City of Redmond, PO Box 97010, Redmond, WA 980739710 or mhart@redmond. gov by 4 p.m. on April 24. Appointments to the committees will be made by the City Council on April 28 and submitted to King County by May 12.

South Detention Vault scheduled for summer completion SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com
Above: Construction crews do work on the South Detention Vault in Overlake Village. Below: A view of the detention vault from above. The open area in the foreground is half of the vault. The covered area in the background has already been completed and will be paved once the open half is completed. SAMANTHA PAK, Redmond Reporter trigger redevelopment in Overlake as they will be saving money. In addition to the economical benefits, the vault will also help the environment. O’Leary said the vault will help with flood control downstream. The detention vault will collect the stormwater runoff from the pavement and release the water back downstream gradually. “(The vault) detains it,” O’Leary said. “This holds the water.”
As a result there will be less erosion, he said, which will help the fish in the streams. “It’s a win-win situation,” O’Leary said. The total cost of the Overlake detention vault is estimated at $21.5 million. Roughly $3.9 million was for the preliminary work and final design and about $17.6 million is for the final construction costs. To help fund the project, the City of Redmond received a $1 million grant from the Department of Ecology.

It has been almost a decade since the City of Redmond began planning for the South Detention Vault in Overlake Village and it is now scheduled to be completed this summer. Joe O’Leary, a senior engineer for the city and the project manager for the vault, said plans for the vault began in 2007, with design starting in 2011 and construction beginning in 2013, adding that they are looking at a completion date of sometime in July — August at the latest. Construction for the vault has been broken into two phases. The first phase, which began two years ago, consisted of rerouting the area’s utilities around the construction site. “We moved everything out of the way,” O’Leary said. The second and current phase of the project began in 2014 and will finish out the project in a few months, he said. The vault — which will be 533 feet long and 123 feet wide — will address stormwater drainage for about 322 acres and will be able to hold up to 6.5 million gallons of water. “It’s big,” O’Leary said, adding that it will likely be the largest stormwater vault in the state. This will be a regional facility, he said, meaning large developments such as the 28-acre future urban center at the old Group Health Cooperative site nearby won’t need to have vaults on their own sites. They just need to lay a pipe in the ground and connect it to the vault, O’Leary said. Now that developers won’t need to install a vault themselves, he said that will

Xtreme Consulting Group claims title in Hopelink Can Madness The Hopelink Can Madness trophy is headed back to Kirkland after a spectacular run by Xtreme Consulting Group, Inc. in the sixth year of the competitive food drive. The second-year team cruised through each round of the tournament and in the end, managed to edge out a very determined Universal Avionics team from Redmond in the final round. Greg Rankich with Xtreme credits teamwork for the win. After bringing in a particularly large haul during one round, the company’s staff came into the Kirkland food bank to help sort their donations. “We had fun internally and volunteering helped us get even more involved,” Rankich said. “It was a total team effort to support Hopelink.” In the final round of the competition, Xtreme Consulting brought in 8,121 pounds of food and $585 in cash, while Universal Avionics collected 8,325 pounds of food and $700 this week. Although the second-place finisher collected more in donations, they fell short in total points; the tournament uses a denominator based on the number of employees to convert pounds to points and ensure a level playing field. During the five-week, 32 businesses in Redmond, Kirkland, Bellevue, Shoreline and Seattle collected a total of 47,996 pounds of food and $5,517 cash — the most ever raised during one year of the competition. Hopelink Can Madness is a bracketed competition similar to the national spring college basketball tournament, matching businesses in weekly contests to see which one can bring in the most food.

Kuske celebrates her 107th birthday Alice Sophia Kuske celebrated her 107th birthday one week early on March 26 at Overlake Terrace Assisted Living and Memory Care in Redmond. She was born in Lind, Wash., on April 2, 1908 to Ada Jones and Henry Herman Kuske. They were a wheat-farming family and Alicia and her sister and brother were always busy helping with the workload. In 1926, Alice married Rollie and they had one child, Betty, before they divorced. When Betty was 5, Alice met Howard August Stiyer, nick-
were Mexico, Arizona, New York and Alaska. They were also very busy with helping care for the younger kids and grandkids in their extended family. After Red passed away in 1987, Alice lived in Bellingham until 2011 when her grandsons, Ron and Don, asked her to move to Overlake Terrace Assisted Living in Redmond in order to be closer to the family.

Nervous investors may be more prone to make decisions based on short-term market movements — so how can you stay calm? First of all, when evaluating your investment decisions, stay focused on those factors that have historically driven stock prices. The U.S. econ-
omy is growing at a reasonably good pace, and corporate earnings remain fairly strong. Plus, stocks may not be as undervalued as they were a few years ago — as measured by the price-toearnings ratio (P/E) — but they still aren’t overly ex-

pensive, either. Things can change, of course, but when market volatility seems to be primarily caused by short-term events, such as plunging oil prices, it’s important to look beyond the headlines to these less glamorous, but probably more important, fundamentals of good investing. By doing so, you can help avoid making fear-driven investment choices. What else can you do to help ensure that you don’t let feelings of anxiety influence your investment moves? For one thing, evaluate your investment mix. If you own too many stocks and stock-based vehicles, you could take a big hit if stock prices fall sharply during periods of volatility. Historically, however, bond prices have typically increased when stock prices fell — although, of course, there are no guarantees. So, if your portfolio consists of stocks and bonds, you are better positioned to weather the harshest effects of market turbulence. To further prepare yourself for downturns, you may also want to diversify your fixed-income holdings to include investments such as U.S. Treasury bills, certificates of deposit (CDs) and municipal bonds. The percentages of each type of investment within your portfolio should be based on your goals, risk tolerance and time horizon. [ more HALE page 13 ]

Mullen steps off the mat after 22 years as RHS wrestling coach ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com
Paul Mullen could literally feel that it was time to retire. It was as if his body was telling him to step down as Redmond High’s head wrestling coach after 22 years. “Everything hurts. I’m pretty beat up,” the 60-yearold said with a laugh on Monday. “Too many years of having the heavyweights beating up on me.” Mullen’s honesty didn’t let up when he added that he felt bad for asking the Mustang assistants get down on the mat and display moves to the wrestlers. Mullen and his wife, Sheryl, decided in September that this season would be his last and he struggled
[ HALE from page 10]
when we got there to accept the academic award it was just so cool,” Mullen said. On the individual wrestler front under Mullen’s watch, Tom Heier won the 4A state title at 141 pounds in 1997, Joe Evans took second at state at 148 pounds in 1994 and Catherine Kelly took fourth at state in 2010 at 112 pounds and sixth at state in 2011 at 119 pounds. “I do it for the kids,” Mullen said. “Sheryl said we’ve met so many good kids. They stay in touch with her and they stay in touch with me.” Mullen grabbed onto wrestling as a seventh-grader at Buckeye Elementary School in Shingle Springs, Calif. in the late 1960s and continued on for four years at Ponderosa High School
and then grappled for one year on the JV squad at Oregon State University. He also played football and rugby and chucked the shot put and discus during his school years. It was on the wrestling mat where he felt at home the most. Although he enjoyed the team camaraderie of football and rugby, he thrived on the individuality of wrestling, as well. “I loved it. It’s up to you how you do. There ain’t nobody out there to help me and no one to blame,” he said with a smile. “And it’s physical and you get a lot of aggression out.” Legendary Oregon State University wrestling coach Dale Thomas passed on plenty of words of wisdom that Mullen shared with his
wrestlers, such as: “Never give up. It’s never over. You could be down big… but the pin is the ultimate equalizer.” While reminiscing about his Redmond years, Mullen’s thoughts focus on former Mustangs he coached, David Schlosser and Rob Rones, both who passed away in recent years. Both guys were solid wrestlers and people and Mullen uses them as an example of what it takes to be a successful wrestler: “You have to have the drive, determination, work ethic and a sense of humor.” The Redmond High Memorial Tournament and alumni match are named after Schlosser and Rones, respectively.

its quality. It’s never easy to take all the emotions out of investing, especially during periods of market volatility. After all, you count on your investments to help provide you with the type of future you’ve envisioned. But by focusing on the fundamen-
tals, putting together an appropriate investment mix and constantly looking for quality, you can help “destress” yourself — and, as the American poet, novelist and historian J.G. Holland once said, “Calmness is the cradle of power.”

After more than a decade of planning, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) introduced the Good To Go! Flex Pass on March 23, reminding drivers that big changes are coming to I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood. Later this year, express toll lanes will open along this 17-mile stretch of highway, providing any driver the choice of a reliable trip by paying a toll. Transit, vanpools and carpools meeting the occupancy requirement will still be able to use the lanes for free. “Right now, everyone on I-405 is stuck in traffic. Sometimes the HOV lanes are as slow as the regular lanes,” said WSDOT Toll Division Assistant Sec-
retary Craig Stone. “By fall, any drivers on I-405 between Bellevue and Lynnwood will finally have the option to drive 45 miles per hour or faster in the express toll lanes, even during rush hour.” The Flex Pass is a unique Good To Go! pass because it has two modes: “HOV” and “TOLL.” To use the Interstate 405 express toll lanes for free, carpoolers will need to activate the new Flex Pass on a Good To Go! account, then set the pass to HOV mode. The Flex Pass can also be set to TOLL mode when using the lanes as a non-HOV. Stone pointed out that the benefits also translate to big changes for drivers in the corridor, particularly carpools. “If you already have a Good To Go! account and don’t expect to use the I-405 express toll lanes as a carpool, you’re ready to go. But if you’re an I-405 carpooler, you must have the Flex Pass to drive in those lanes toll-free.” With the help of RideshareOnline.com, a

New carpool pass required for toll-free driving on I-405 express toll lanes
www.redmond-reporter.com Flex Pass. All payment options offered on the SR 520 Bridge will be available on the I-405 express toll lanes. Similar to the SR 520 Bridge, drivers using the I-405 express toll lanes without a Good To Go! account will receive a bill in the mail at a higher rate. “Express toll lanes are used across the country as part of the solution to urban congestion,” said Stone. “WSDOT is using this innovative tool to help reduce congestion on I-405.”
I-405 EXPRESS TOLL LANES OVERVIEW
WSDOT is building a new lane adjacent to the carpool lane between Northeast Sixth Street in Bellevue and State Route 522 in Bothell to create a dual, express-toll-lane system, while converting the existing carpool lane between Bothell and Lynnwood into a single, express toll lane. When the project is complete in 2015, drivers will have the option to pay a toll for a faster, more reliable trip using a 17-mile system of express toll lanes from Bellevue to Lynnwood. Transit, vanpools and carpools meeting the occupancy requirement will be able to use the lanes toll-free with the new Good To Go! Flex Pass.
Washington state residents give a thumbs up to clothing recycling Four million pounds of clothing and shoes were diverted from landfills thanks to Washington state residents. That’s 849 garbage trucks diverted from going to landfills. USAgain, the national
textile recycler provides an outlet to give surplus clothing a second life through a network of thousands of recycling bins located nationwide. By diverting 3,715,763 pounds of textiles, USAgain and its patrons prevented 26 million pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere, saved more than 5 billion gallons of water, and 21,232 cubic yards of landfill space. USAgain recycling programs are hosted in partnership with municipalities, local businesses, event based community drives and fundraisers for schools and nonprofits. “We want to commend the local communities for their commitment to sustainability. These collections continue to keep clothing out of our landfills having a positive impact on our environment,” said USAgain CEO Mattias Wallander. “Textile recycling programs are getting attention from municipalities with a goal to improve their overall waste diversion rates and we are working diligently to assist with their goal.” Recent data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency shows 5.7 percent of the municipal solid waste (MSW) is textiles. A staggering 12 million tons of clothing and shoes end up in the garbage and make their way to the landfills every year.

...obituaries Toni Hathaway Blier
Toni passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Easter Sunday April 5, 2015 at the age of 78. She was born on November 22, 1936 in Minot, ND to Art and Olive Hathaway. She was an older sister to Doug Hathaway and a graduate of Colville High School. She attended Washington State University and married Ray Blier in 1956. Toni worked in customer service over the years and enjoyed volunteering with Aglow and Red Hats Society. She loved being a wife and mother to her two sons, Roger and Kevin Blier, and grandmother to her two granddaughters. (More information is available at www. cascadememorial.com) Toni was preceded in death by her husband, father and mother. She is survived by her two sons, daughter-in-law Terri, brother and sister-in-law Eileen, and grandchildren Ashley and Lauren. A Celebration of Life will be held to honor Toni on Saturday, April 11th at 1:00 pm at The City Church in Kirkland.

the updated King County’s Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan, the county’s planning blueprint to alleviate the death, injury, and property damage that can result from a natural disaster in the region. “Approving our updated hazard mitigation plan is so important as it’s the foundation of our plans for preparedness,” sad Council member Kathy Lambert, the sponsor of the legislation and the chair of the council’s Law, Justice and Emergency Management Committee. “We know disasters are going to happen and it’s important that we are continually preparing and updating and practicing so we can be ready for them. This vital plan sets us up for coordination with our city and district partners.” The federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 requires local jurisdictions to adopt a hazard mitigation plan, and this plan is required to be updated every five years. The ordinance approved by the council adopts the 2014 update to the county’s Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The Office of Emergency Management (OEM), the county agency responsible for hazard mitigation planning, conducted an inclusive planning process to complete this update. The county’s plan is a collaborative effort with 26 city and town governments and 27 special-purpose districts. The 2014 plan includes a countywide risk assessment and mitigation strategy, and jurisdiction-specific plans, or “annexes,” for unincorporated King County, and each partner city, town or special purpose district. These annexes include nearly 700 potential actions that a jurisdiction could take to reduce the damage and harm from natural hazards. The plan addresses the following natural hazards, listed here in decreasing order of county-wide risk/ probability: earthquake, severe weather, severe winter weather, flood, landslide, wildfire, dam failure, avalanche, volcano and tsunami. The plan also provides an overview of how risk from these hazards will change as a result of future climate change impacts. King County has experienced 31 events since 1956 that triggered a presidential disaster declaration, the majority of which have been severe storms and two of which were earthquakes (1965 and 2001).
