Council discusses chronic homelessness, hands often tied Unless there is a crime, there is little the city can do for those who refuse help BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
When it comes to the growing homeless population in downtown Renton and beyond, the city is doing everything it can to offer help to those who want it but can only remove a person when police see them breaking the law. That seemed to be the message during a 90-minute discussion Monday by the
City Council’s Committee of the Whole on chronic homelessness. Council members and staff were all careful to make the distinction between homeless people and families who have fallen on hard times and those who refuse services and are often those who draw complaints from residents. “In Renton, it’s a very small subset of the homeless population,” said Karen Bergsvik, the Community Services Department’s Human Services Division manager. Bergsvik gave the council an overview of what the city is doing to try and provide services to the burgeoning homeless population, which she said is being caused by a lack of affordable housing, especially in

said. Bergsvik also talked about the countywide effort to provide housing and look for solutions to the issues but admitted that as of now, it’s “not enough.” “Every city is facing the same problem,” she said. “It’s not unique to Renton.” But for many residents and several members of the council, the main issue was not what the city was doing to help the homeless but what they can do to help answer worries from residents, who complain about seeing members of the homeless population urinating, fighting, using drugs and even having sex in public.

Following the death of an Evergreen football player after an in-game injury last weekend, Friday night’s football game between the Lindbergh Eagles and the Evergreen Wolverines has been postponed. Evergreen’s Kenny Bui, 17, died Monday morning from injuries suffered during an Oct. 2 game between Evergreen and Highline at Highline Memorial Stadium in Burien. According to Highline School District Chief Communications Officer Catherine Carbone Rogers, Bui was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle where he was diagnosed with a head injury and received surgery on Friday night. Renton Athletic Director and Seamount League President Brian Kaelin said Friday’s game will not take place as scheduled, but there has been no discussion yet on make-ups or the ef-

This weekend’s fundraising auction for Renton’s Birthday Dreams was scheduled months ago, but after a break-in Monday night, it has taken on a whole new importance for the charity organization. Officials arrived at the group’s building in Liberty Park on Tuesday morning to find that someone had apparently broken into a secondfloor window overnight, kicked open the charity’s office doors and stole two laptops, a router and other miscellaneous office supplies. “It’s got all our inventory and information on it,” Board Chair Chaz Spahn said Tuesday of the computers. Along with the theft, the burglars also damaged the building’s door jambs when they kicked them open. Birthday Dreams has been in the

Washington residents found homes for 417 homeless cats and dogs during Pawsitive Alliance’s Fourth Annual Statewide Shelter Open House last Saturday. Thirty-two shelters across the State participated from Bellingham to Walla Walla, Spokane to Tacoma and Auburn to Yakima. An estimated 4,000 people visited the shelters during this one day event. The goal of this event is to help the shelters grow their adopter, donor, and volunteer bases while raising awareness of the good work they do on a daily basis for animals in need.

Three first places in beer-making at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup is a pretty good argument for naming Robert Jewell Renton’s amateur brewmeister. While he doesn’t own a brewery, for eight years Jewell, with the help of yeast, has been turning grains and hops, first on his stovetop and now on professional-grade brewing equipment at home, into beer that wows friends and family and now the judges. Beer-making had “intrigued” the Boeing engineer who works on the P-8 Poseidon at Boeing Field in Seattle. That intrigue turned into a hobby after a trip to Belgium – which, he said, he said is known as the “Disneyland of the beer world – with his wife Jennifer about 10 years ago. Friends there offered a Belgian beer, which “opened my eyes to what is out there,” he said. In the United States, most beer drinkers are used to the lightcolored Pilsener beer, he said. One of the beers that earned a first place at September’s state fair, Munich Dunkel, also won Jewell a gold medal in the Cascade Brewers Cup competition that draws home brewers mostly from Washington state. The Munich Dunkel is a German dark-lager style that showcases Munich malt, a barley, with its full flavor. For him, one of the “fun things” do to in home brewing is to give his beers a name, Jewell said, often

after someone in his life or something that’s going on. Jewell named his Munich Dunkel after his father Stan, who died in January. “Munich Dunkel was a tribute to him,” he said. He named his Kolsch, a lightcolored German ale “done in a lager way,” after the newborn daughter of Jennifer’s cousin. It’s known as June Bug Kolsch. He hasn’t named a beer after Jennifer yet, but he’s contemplating brewing a “sour beer,” which, he said, is trendy now and they both like it. And, as an homage to their new “brew dog,” a puppy named Pepper, he’s mulling a pepper beer.

Beer has four ingredients: grain, hops, yeast and water. Simply speaking, the yeast converts the starch in the grain into sugar, which then ferments to become alcohol. The hops provide the bitter beer taste and some other subtleties, depending on the hop, such as a fruitiness or the sometimes nutty flavor of dark beer. Like many other home brewers, Jewell got his start on the stove top in the kitchen. “You can make some good beer that way,” he said. But after some spillovers, he decided to get his own beer-making setup. He was disappointed with his

first beer, a Dunkelweizen, a German dark beer. He realized beer-making wasn’t going to be easy. So he continued to learn more and six months later, he brewed his next batch, a pale ale. If that batch didn’t turn out well, he planned “to bag the whole thing.” “I was happy with the way it turned out,” he said. Jewell doesn’t have a favorite beer but he appreciates beers of different styles. For a time “hoppy beers” were the rage, he said. “It almost became like an arms race right now with hop producers to come out with the new ‘it’ hop,” he said, with a lot of “crazy flavors.” This year, Jewell has brewed about 40 gallons of beer. He even grows some hops in his backyard. The day of brewing usually lasts about six hours and friends and family occasionally show up. Someone needs to drink the beer in his kegs, so he has room for his next batch. But while friends and family are all “very nice,” he said, “if you really want some constructive feedback and improve the beer, I need to start entering some competitions and getting that feedback.” And that led to the state fair, where his beers were judged against guidelines that focus on aroma, appearance, flavor, mouth feel and overall impression. He came home with those three first-place rosettes and a cash prize. Dean A. Radford can be reached at 425-255-3484, ext. 5150.

population that is a problem. “We have to get people to understand that homeless doesn’t mean criminal element,” he said. Perez and other council members fired back that no one was saying that all homeless are criminals, but that it is the criminal element that residents want the council to deal with. Persson said it was “not fair” when those who break laws are labeled “homeless” instead of “criminals.” Councilwoman Marcie Palmer, for example, said she hears from residents all the time about feeling threatened by groups of homeless people congregating and said that even she felt intimidated walking past two tables full of homeless at Jones Park even while on her way to the North Renton Picnic this summer. “Those are the ones we’re complaining about,” she said, adding that while there are groups who offer food and services such as the Salvation Army, the unfortunate truth is that sometimes those services bring “the most unsavory of these people” to residential neighborhoods. “I don’t think we need to criminalize homelessness,” said council President Ed Prince. “I think we need to prosecute criminal acts.” Milosevich and City Attorney Larry Warren again reiterated that there is little the city can do if crimes are not being committed. After the meeting, Milosevich said the department has a core group of officers who work the downtown beat, and though they can’t be everywhere, they are using the tools they have to both help those who want it and to deal with those who don’t. In August alone, police issued 26 expulsions from parks downtown, cited 114 and arrested 17. “When we see criminal conduct, we’ll respond,” he said. Following the meeting, Prince said he requested the topic because of numerous emails and calls about the issue but
sevich, it’s a “small minority” of the homeless population that does not want help, but because homelessness is not a crime, the role of police becomes one of “enforcing behavior and conduct.” Panhandling and loitering, for example, are not crimes and the police can only act when they see a crime being committed, though he admitted that he has heard some residents do not like to shop at some downtown locations after dark, simply because of the large groups of homeless that gather there. “Realistically, there’s nothing we can do,” he told the council. Councilman Don Persson again made the distinction between the majority of the homeless in the city and the “hooligans” causing problems and said that homeless people not causing problems should be left alone, but those who do must be dealt with like anyone else committing a criminal act. “We have an obligation to our citizens to make them feel safe,” he said. “There’s people that won’t go into our parks because of the rowdiness of some of the homeless.” Councilwoman Ruth Perez agreed that a city that values diversity must value those without homes, but that if residents do not feel safe, the city must act. That comment prompted an exchange with Councilman Greg Taylor who said that if a resident asked him what he would do about the homeless, he would take the opportunity to start a conversation with the resident about the causes of homelessness and that it’s only a small percentage of the

fect on league scheduling. “We will discuss this with the Highline School District and Seamount League athletic directors once we feel it is appropriate to do so,” Kaelin said in an email. “Our condolences go out to the Bui family, friends, Evergreen High School, and the Highline School District.” Bui’s death, along with a second serious injury suffered this past weekend by a high school football player near Chehalis, has prompted a new look at safety procedures, particularly with collision sports. According to Kaelin, the
Washington Interscholastic Athletic Association (WIAA) requires that all WIAA member school football coaches receive football-specific safety training. Head coaches were required to take this safety training prior to this season and assistant coaches are required to take it prior to next season. However, Kaelin said both the Renton and Highline School Districts required all of their coaches to take the training prior to the start of this season. Therefore, all of the football coaches in the Renton School District have received training in the fol-
was clear that he wanted to focus on those causing problems and not those who have run into hard times. “I wanted to have a holistic conversation on the other folks,” he said. Prince said he finds it troubling that residents do not feel safe at certain shopping centers because “perception is reality” when it comes to safety and said he thought the chief ’s response was good. “I hope that Renton and our elected officials can be leaders in getting something done on this issue,” he said. But not everyone liked what they heard. Diane Dobson, who lives downtown and has been an outspoken critic of the city’s response to citizen complaints about homelessrelated crime, said the discussion was a “good start” but that she felt department heads were trying to minimize the safety concerns of residents. She said from her perspective, it seems the “hooligan” component is getting ore aggressive and taking a “territorial ownership” on the neighborhood, but said she and others in the area have been pleased with the police response, if not from the political leaders. “I’d like more accountability by the city for the role they play,” she said. For his part, Mayor Denis Law said the administration has been dealing with this for a long time and that in many ways, the city’s hands are tied because citizens want them to do something regardless if there is a crime begin committed or not. He said he was “sympathetic” to the concerns of residents and that police would be aggressive on enforcement issues. “I don’t blame them for being frustrated,” he said, adding, “We’re trying everything we can to figure out an effective and sustainable plan to address what we can legally address.” lowing areas: • Safer Tackling Techniques and Drills; • Helmet and Should Pad Fitting; • Concussion Management; • Return to Play Protocols following a concussion; • Heat and Hydration Training; and • Sudden Cardiac Arrest training.

There are also certified athletic trainers at every football and soccer game played at Renton Memorial Stadium. “We do our best to provide training with the hope that doing so will decrease the likelihood of a catastrophic injury from happening, but also try to be prepared if one does occur,” Kaelin said.

Q.
I loved your article about yearround container gardens last month (Sept. 4) but want to know how long my perennials can survive in a large container that is 24 inches wide and about as deep. I have grown hosta, euphorbias and evergreens in this pot for years but the plants always seem to decline in health after a few years. T.H., Olympia Potted perennials and shrubs can get too chilly, too dry and too hungry after several years trapped in a container. October is a good month to remove overgrown potted perennials and shrubs, score or cut into the crowded root ball and replant them into your garden beds. Do not wait until spring because freezing winter weather is very hard on a root bound plant trapped in a pot. If the potted plant is an evergreen shrub you can try root pruning or shortening all the roots by one-third. Then add fresh potting soil and replant the old plant back into the container. Every potted perennial will appreciate a blanket of compost mulch this time of year to help insulate the roots from the coming cold. If you do decide to empty your pots now, there is still time to replant with fall flowers such as mums, winter pansies and ornamental cabbages and kale. Add a few mini pumpkins as a mulch and poke a cut branch of maple leaves or autumn berries into your new fall planting and celebrate the change in seasons.
A.
Fall is a good time to fertilize the lawn but please do not fertilize any of your other plants in October. The shorter days and colder nights are Mother Nature’s way of coaxing plant life into a long winter nap so they will not suffer from the freezing weather ahead. Fertilizing keeps plants awake and producing tender new growth. Spreading compost or mulch on top of plants is preferred over sprinkling a fall fertilizer. Compost is not a fertilizer but rather a soil conditioner that will provide some slow-wrelease nitrogen when the weather warms up in spring.
What plants need to be fertilized in the fall? I did feed my lawn a fall and winter lawn food
A.
to discourage overwintering slugs. October is a good month to dig up and remove perennial plants or shrubs that did not perform well or were just too demanding. Fill the empty spot with fallen leaves and debris to rot over the winter so the soil will soften up and be ready for a new plant in the spring.

This means you can leave the ornamental grasses, sedum autumn joy and Rudbeckia seed heads for the birds to enjoy all winter but in early spring when you see the forsythia in bloom cut back the brown clumps of ornamental grass to make way for the new spring growth.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:
“We have an obligation to our citizens to make them feel safe. There’s people who won’t go into our parks because of the rowdiness of some of the homeless.“ City Councilman Don Persson on homelessness in the city
Pretending there is nothing we can do is Dumb Let’s just get this out of the way right at the top, I am not anti-gun, I am anti-Dumb. I am from Upstate New York where the first day of hunting season was practically a religious holiday that meant I was just about the only one in school. Everyone had guns. But it wasn’t really that big a deal because where I grew up, you could open your back door, shoot as big a gun as you wanted off the porch and not hit anything except trees and potentially a very confused squirrel. I have friends who hunt, friends who sport shoot and friends who just collect guns like they are Star Wars toys. All of them are good people. All of them are the type of people whom you really probably don’t mind owning guns. And all of them would probably be adversely affected by any new legislation that might be developed. That said, I also grew up in a place where we played lawn darts, though we can no longer do that because in 1987 a little girl was killed and her father led a crusade to get the 50-year-old toys banned. So despite the fact that I have never once killed or injured anyone during a game of lawn darts, I can no longer play. Because sometimes living in a society means that even those of us who play responsibly have to put our heads down on the desk when the class shows it can no longer behave itself. Don’t believe me? Try walking through Sea-Tac without taking your belt and shoes off. Also, to be clear, I offer no solutions. I have ideas, obviously, suggestions certainly, but today I am not putting anything forward, simply making a plea to have a discussion. Because we really have not had one about guns in this country in decades. And for the record, the last 10 years or so have been pretty violent. Last week, following yet another mass public shooting, this one at a community college in rural Oregon, Rolling Stone published a statistic that said in the first 174 days of the year, there were 164 mass shootings, defined as four or more people, gunman not included, who were shot. So let’s do it, please. Let’s have the discussion. Let’s try to be adults. So the absolute first thing we have to get out of the way is the ridiculous notion that nothing can be done. That’s total BS. And it’s total BS put forth by a propaganda machine run by the people who make and make money off of selling guns. OF COURSE they want you to think there’s nothing you can do. The Dumber and more confused – and scared – they keep us, the more money they get to make. I choose today’s Frank Shiers Jr. comic for a reason. The reason is this: I completely and Brian Beckley

OPINION
[6] October 9, 2015
LETTER TO THE EDITOR Women deserve equal pay, equal time with their family Women today carry much of the responsibility to keep our families together and healthy. School history tells us that because we can vote and work, we’ve really “made it.” And while those rights are great, I still struggle to survive in my day-to-day life. I am currently working two jobs so I can buy food and house my family, but I rarely see them. When I do, I’m so exhausted the quality of that shared time takes a hit. As a woman of color, why am I forced to choose between money to support my family and time with them? I lose either way. I deserve equal pay, equal opportunity and equal time with my loved
ones. Women have been struggling to advance in a system that’s rigged against us. I was told that if I worked hard enough, I could accomplish anything. That’s just not true. I still make less than a man doing the same work. Now is the time to take action and fight for fair treatment of all women and girls. I have joined a movement called Stand with Women. This movement aims to fight for freedom, family values, fairness and opportunity. I want every community member and elected official in Renton to Stand with Women too. Unless you do, you are standing in the way. I stand with women. Mary Le Nguyen, Renton

totally disagree with it. It’s Dumb. It’s willfully ignorant and perpetuates that ignorance. In an email that accompanied it, Mr. Shiers explained that all 14 of the guns the Oregon domestic terrorist (I call it like I see it; this dude was making a point…) were legally purchased and therefore “there isn’t an existing gun control law or future ‘common sense’ law that could be created to catch him before the tragedy.” Now, I really enjoy Mr. Shiers’ contributions to our paper. Though I don’t always agree with him, I sometimes do and I often enjoy his take either way. That said, this is just Dumb. And it’s Dumb because of the conclusion he draws: No existing laws worked, therefore no future laws could work. Huh? That doesn’t even make sense. In the comic, Shiers implies that the only thing we could do if we want to change anything or make any laws would be to throw out the Second Amendment. In other words: *Shrug* What can you do? Kids are gonna die. Deal with it. Praise God and pass the ammunition. That’s Ridiculous; Ridiculous, defeatist and
just plain Dumb. Now, again, I am not going to offer any solutions here. This is a not a column about background checks or wait times or assault weapons bans or anything. This is simply about the fact that we CAN do something if we want, if we can muster the political will to stand up and say “let’s try and prevent kids from getting shot” to an organization of only 5 million members that, according to opensecrets.org, spent more than $30 million in the 2014 election cycle alone. Because here’s the truth about the Second Amendment: it is not sacrosanct, no matter what the NRA wants you to believe. It’s also not as hard-and-fast as they want you to believe. For example, the second and third words of the actual text are “well-regulated,” which a rational person would assume means you could, well, regulate the matter. But more importantly, the thing that is protected is the right to “keep and bear arms,” not “guns,” but “arms.” And “arms” includes things like tanks, F-35s and nuclear missiles, all of which we have [ more EDITOR page 8 ]

The late Ormand John (O.J.)

The funds will also support the Foundation’s current emergency services program. “O.J. Harper’s generous gift will help many current and future students achieve their educational aspirations and, in turn, add to our economy and community,� Dr. Kevin McCarthy,

Harper was an entrepreneur in the commercial aerospace industry and began his career in procurement for the Boeing B-17 bomber during the 1940s. In the early 1950s, Harper left Boeing to begin his own company, OJ Harper Sales Company, and then Harper Engineering in 1967. In 2011, the Boeing Company recognized Harper Engineering as “Supplier of the Year.� RTC’s PMT program is designed to prepare students for manufacturing careers. “According to annual college data, there is a 100 percent estimated employment rate for graduates of our program,� Heather Winfrey, Execu-

So look at that, we 100 percent can and do ban arms every single day in this country. Which means, that it’s not a question of “can we?” but “which SHOULD we?” and that’s a different
www.rentonreporter.com and important discussion. Maybe the answer we come to as a society is, in fact “none.” I mean, I doubt it, but let’s at least have the conversation. Let’s stop pretending there’s nothing we can do. Let’s stop pretending that not doing anything isn’t politicizing this. And let’s stop pretending the NRA isn’t just liars with deep-
enough pockets to confuse decent people. Because even 87 percent of gun owners (according to a New York Times story) support legislation that the NRA is spending millions of dollars to prevent (expanded background checks, for example). I mean, if we can pull together as a nation to stop the scourge of lawn-dart-
related injuries and deaths, surely we can do something about the literally daily threat of a mass shooting somewhere in the country. Let me close here with a quote from a letter from President Ronald Reagan, who not only supported the Brady Bill in 1991, but in 1994 sent this in support of the 1994 assault-weapons ban that the Republican

Congress let expire in 2004: “While we recognize that assault-weapon legislation will not stop all assaultweapon crime, statistics prove that we can dry up the supply of these guns, making them less accessible to criminals.” Again, I am not saying if a ban is the right thing either way, just that even Reagan was for trying something. Maybe it’s because he was president when the lawndart ban went into effect and he saw how well that worked. Maybe not. Either way, let’s stop pretending there’s nothing we can do.

Wounded man rolling his way to hospital ER falls on Carr Road BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. A 19-year-old Renton man paralyzed in a gang shooting three years ago crashed and fell from his wheelchair on Carr Road at about 5:45 p.m. Sept. 18, apparently as he was making his way down the hill to Valley Medical Center. Just minutes before, he had been shot in the thigh in an apparent robbery at an apartment complex several blocks to the east on Petrovitsky Road. Medics treated him and he was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where at the time he was in stable but critical condition. Investigators began to doubt the victim’s story of a robbery and two friends who came to assist him also wouldn’t offer any information about the shooting. An officer traced his trail of blood back to near but not at the apartment complex, finding two pools of blood and two shell casings. The rear windows of a car had been shattered by gunfire and a bullet entered the siding of a garage on a home. The residents heard two loud bangs while eating dinner but didn’t investigate. The officer told them their car and garage had been shot. Based on discrepancies in the story and
the location of the shooting – along with the victim’s criminal history, officers believe the victim may have fabricated a cover story for the shooting. WATCH WHAT YOU CALL HER: The Renton Police officer told the 31-year-old Seattle man, sipping on a can of beer on the Cedar River near the Williams Avenue bridge Sept. 18, that just maybe his girlfriend left him because of the derogatory names he called her. He told the officer he “wasn’t doin’ nothin’” except drinking a beewr (a 22-ounce can of Steel Reserve Hard Pineapple) and feeding the ducks. He was distraught over losing his “bitch.” He was booked into the SCORE regional jail on a warrant. Highly intoxicated, he was cited for having an open container of alcohol. HIDDEN IN BACK: A Walmart security officer watched as a 39-year-old Seattle man slipped clothing and hygiene products between his back and backpack Sept. 16, then walk out without paying for them. He was stopped outside the store on Rainier Avenue. A Renton Police officer searching his backpack found a hole cut into the part of the backpack that rests against his back. The officer also found 1.5 grams of methamphetamine and a narcotic drug for which the suspect didn’t have a prescription. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of possession of narcotics. He also was cited for second-degree shoplifting.

Surging Foster ruins Renton’s homecoming BY BRIAN BECKLEY, bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
The suddenly surging Foster Bulldogs ruined Renton’s homecoming game on Friday, upending the Indians 34-32 at Renton Memorial Stadium, despite two kicks returned for touchdowns by Renton’s Maurice Hunter. Renton scored in every quarter, but it was not enough as Foster just kept coming. In the first, Renton’s Royal Dotson-Goode got the Indians on the board with a 2-yard run, but Foster countered and the teams ended the first with Renton up 7-6. In the second, Renton’s Hunter returned a punt 50 yards for a touchdown and a two-point conversion made it an 8-point play, but the Bulldogs were able to score twice themselves and teams headed to the
locker room with the Bulldogs up 20-15. In the third, the Indians inched closer with a 36-yard field goal to make it 20-18 entering the final frame. In the fourth, the two teams traded blows with Foster scoring a touchdown and Renton’s Hunter taking the ensuing kickoff 90 yards for his second special-teams touchdown of the game. Renton added another 7 points on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Drew Olson to Zach Hasson, but Foster was right there with another score of its own and as the clock ran down, the Indians found themselves on the wrong side of a 34-32 total. The loss drops Renton to 1-4 on the season and 1-2 in the Seamount. The Indians play Hazen on Friday at Renton Memorial Stadium.
Kennedy Catholic hands Lindbergh second straight loss BY BRIAN BECKLEY
bbeckley@rentonreporter.com
After starting the football season 3-0, the Lindbergh Eagles appear to have hit a bit of a speed bump, falling to Kennedy Catholic 28-6 on Oct. 1 at Renton Memorial Stadium, their second loss in a row. Kennedy got started early, going up 7-0 on a 5-yard touchdown run in the first quarter to take the lead and then scoring on an 80-yard throwand-run to take a 14-0 lead into the second. In the second, Lindbergh’s Johsiah Serquinia punched in a 2-yard run to put the Eagles on the board, but a missed extra point left the score 146. And before the period was out, Kennedy scored again on an 18-yard pass play to take a 21-6 lead into halftime. In the third quarter, Lindbergh was unable to build any momentum and Kennedy scored again on a 4-yard run to take a 28-6 lead and hang on for the win. With the loss, Lindbergh falls to 3-2 on the season and 1-1 in the Seamount. Friday’s game against Evergreen has been canceled (see page 1).
Cascade Christian 56, Hazen 22
The Hazen Highlanders ran into buzzsaw on Saturday afternoon, falling 56-22 to the Cascade Christian Cougars at Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner. No individual statistics were available from the game.

Hazen, Kennedy play to draw A pair of Seamount girls soccer powerhouses met on the pitch last night and both walked away with a point in the standings as Hazen and Kennedy Catholic played to a 1-1 tie at Starfire in Tukwila. The two well-matched teams battled to a nil-nil tie through the first half; but nine
minutes into the second half, Hazen got on the board when midfielder Amy Warmenhoven redirected a pass from Madison Kem for a 1-0 lead. But it didn’t stand up. Hazen is now 4-3-2 on the season. League play begins next week. Hazen plays Lindbergh on Thursday at Renton Memorial Stadium. -Brian Beckley
