Happy to have their family together Boyer family’s adoptive sons home from DRC, just in time for the holidays SAMANTHA PAK spak@redmond-reporter.com

It’s been almost three years, but Andre and Luke Boyer are finally home with their family. Since late 2012, their adoptive parents, Jason and Jennefer Boyer, had been waiting to be able to bring their two sons home from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The couple — who used to live in Redmond but are now in unincorporated King County between Redmond and Sammamish — had filled out all the required paperwork (American and Congolese), participated in home studies and waded through all the other red tape required to adopt their boys three years ago. At the time, Andre was 3 and a half years old and Luke was 1 year old. But Jason and Jennefer hadn’t been able to bring Andre and Luke, now 6 and 4, respectively, home because they — along with hundreds of other families worldwide — were stuck in a limbo as they waited for one single

That piece of paper was an exit letter, which would allow Andre and Luke — who had previously been orphans — to leave the country with their parents for the United States.

SUCH A RELIEF

It wasn’t until Nov. 2 that the Boyers learned that they would finally be able to bring their boys home. At that point, Jennefer had moved to the DRC, following a visit in January during

which Luke became very ill and it became clear that one of them would have to stay. She had been living in the DRC for about nine months. About two weeks prior to them learning the boys could come home, Jennefer and Jason were trying to figure out a holiday schedule for him and their two biological daughters to visit. The next day, they learned that 69 children who have been in the same paperwork limbo as Andre and Luke were being released — including 14 children to the

United States. Jennefer said it was both exciting and scary news because they didn’t know if the boys had made the list. They had also had a number of “false alarms” in which they thought they would be receiving the exit letter, but didn’t. When they learned their sons were part of the 14, it was “such a relief ” — especially as the boys had been released together. Jennefer said there were some cases in which siblings [ more BOYERS page 10 ]

Redmond Lights set for tomorrow The City of Redmond will celebrate Redmond Lights, its annual winter festival, from 4-8 p.m. tomorrow. The annual event celebrates the city’s cultural diversity with light installations, traditions, music, activities and fun for all ages. The event will begin at Redmond City Hall (15670 N.E. 85th St.) with free entertainment, a bonfire, food and fun activities, including the dissemination of the 2015 Think Redmond Light blinkers (while supplies last). Mayor John Marchione, along with special guests, will light the campus before departing on the luminary walk. The walk meanders down the Redmond Central Connector to Redmond Town Center with performances and light displays along the way. This year, DigiPen staff and students will be presenting a special light installation for the community. Local businesses will provide warm beverages, and attendees can make s’mores and decorate cookies. Redmond Town Center will offer ice skating, carousel rides, an ice sculpture and kids activities.

‘Merry Christmas’ signs return for fourth year ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

The “It’s OK to say Merry Christmas” signs are back in Redmond. Courtesy of Terry Talbot

With the “It’s OK to say Merry Christmas” signs back in Redmond for the fourth consecutive year, people are strongly voicing their opinions about the notices. Once again posted by a mystery person or group, City of Redmond employees first noticed the green signs with white lettering this past

Saturday near churches on 166th Avenue Northeast. The Reporter and one resident spotted signs near the City Hall campus and the Redmond Regional Library on Northeast 85th Street/160th Avenue Northeast and the Redmond Fire Headquarters on 161st Avenue Northeast. The signs feature a Bible verse on the front side, and on the back there’s a nativity scene, which is new to this year’s signs.

“This is where the ‘politically correct’ thinking gets it wrong. We need to spread love, respect, embrace and share other citizens’ cultures and holidays because it matters! It brings us closer to each other’s one-nation concept regardless of the diversity. I cannot wait to start greeting people with ‘Merry Christmas’ greetings. It is just too early for me, personally,” said reader Ed Kaddoura. [ more SIGNS page 10 ]

Every two years, the City of Redmond conducts a robust community-based effort to review its financial picture and the resources needed to fund key city services. This is done through an inclusive process known as Budgeting by Priorities. Through the city’s “Your City Your Choice” campaign, community members are invited to evaluate the kinds of programs citizens value most by choosing the top three programs under each of the six city priorities. “Your City Your Choice” is launching today at www.redmond.gov/YourCityYourChoice. “Last year, we had over 1,400 participants in the first version of ‘Your City Your Choice,’” said Mike Bailey, city finance director. “This year, we have reworked the exercise to gather more granular data on the programs community members’ value in each of our city priorities.

BRIEFS Pedestrian seriously injured after being struck by vehicle A woman in her early 60s was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle while walking across an intersection on Tuesday night. The pedestrian was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Members of the Redmond police and fire departments responded to the accident at 7:32 p.m. Preliminary investigation reveals an adult male was driving northbound on 166th Avenue Northeast and struck the woman on the north side of Northeast 79th Street as she was walking eastbound across the intersection. There was one witness in a separate vehicle who provided information to police at the scene. The driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators.

Making progress — measuring progress Recently Chinese President Xi Jinping visited our region, meeting with business, civic and political leaders from Everett to Seattle, Bellevue and Tacoma. Years ago, this might have been a statement that our region had come of age, taking a prominent role on the world stage. This visit, however, represents an affirmation, not an announcement. The central Puget Sound region and Washington state have long been a center of global trade. A look behind the numbers, however, reveals that many Washingtonians are falling behind. And far too many young people fail to get the education they need to succeed and compete for great jobs being created by Washington employers. To address those concerns, a year ago we organized Opportunity Washington, a statewide coalition of business and civic groups. We traveled the state, meeting with educators, small business owners and business leaders. We asked them — what changes are most needed? From these conversations and our own research, three priorities rose to the forefront — things we must do well to ensure all Washingtonians can take advantage of great career and life opportunities. We categorized them as “Achieve,” for education quality and outcomes; “Connect,” for transportation and infrastructure reliability and efficiency; and “Employ,” for economic vitality. We called our report a roadmap for expanding opportunity and we laid out a plan for improving Washington’s performance in each category. It’s not enough, though, to draw a map. There must be a reliable way to Steve Mullin and Kris Johnson

determine where we are, where we’re headed, and measure progress. To that end, we have calculated a new “opportunity score” for each state, measuring performance on Achieve (education), Connect (transportation) and Employ (economic vitality). The analysis relies on 16 variables, with data drawn from respected national sources. So, where does Washington stand after the analysis? Stuck in the middle, ranking 24th among all states. Good enough? No. We should be top 10. Currently, Washington ranks 18th in Achieve (education). While we do reasonably well on fourth-grade reading and eighthgrade math, as well as associate degrees awarded, our high school graduation rate ranks very near the bottom 10 states. We also perform below the median state for production of bachelor’s and advanced degrees. It won’t surprise commuters to learn that Washington ranks 38th in Connect (transportation). The transportation package passed by the legislature this year should improve Washington’s performance. On Employ (economic vitality), Wash-

ington again ranks in the middle, coming in 23rd. Strong performance in private R&D investment and entrepreneurial activity is offset by higher-than-average business costs such as unemployment insurance and business taxes. No one sets out to be average. Washington can and must do better. Becoming a top-10 state will take a sustained commitment with frequent benchmarking. We will update opportunity scores for Washington and all 50 states quarterly, allowing us to track progress and assess opportunities for improvement. It’s great to be a world leader, as Washington is in many ways. We must take this opportunity, however, to create the conditions that will offer everyone in this region and every community in our state, the tools and capacity to prosper. Together, we can achieve that goal. Join our effort at Opportunitywa. org.

Hats off to Haggen I am writing to share with you an undiscovered gem of our community: Haggen Food & Pharmacy on the Redmond-Fall City Road (SR 202) at 236th Avenue Northeast. Our children suffer multiple allergies (gluten, dairy and egg). For years, our specialty product search has

necessitated weekly grocery trips to as many as four stores. We have watched a steady decline in the number of products offered at local grocery stores that are free of multiple allergens, while the options for GF (only) have exploded in availability. This is true, sadly, even at the stores renowned for their whole or co-op nature. We recently stumbled into Haggen on a whim — for us, it was like stumbling upon a gold mine. They carry the hard-to-find Schar glutenand-dairy-and-egg-free bread that one perceives identical to standard bread. They carry the holy grail of GF flour, Betty Crocker, as well as many other brands. They actually have an employee who specializes just in the allergen-free foods. They even offered to obtain foods not regularly stocked. The regular food product offerings are

expansive and high quality. Their prices are as good as the numerous other groceries available in our area (yes, we actually do shop at all of them). Their St. Helens Beef is some of the best beef in stores. I’ve witnessed them being a good neighbor, participating in food drives for local food banks. Also, they really cleaned up, brightened up and revamped the building from its prior owner. While it may seem unusual to write to the editor about a grocery store, Haggen has earned our praise and appreciation. I don’t miss the four grocery store stops each week! More importantly, I hope this information helps other local families dealing with the challenge of feeding those with multiple allergies.

Washington STEM Summit features host of female speakers spak@redmond-reporter.com

Educators, business leaders and others gathered at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond on Tuesday to discuss the future of the state’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education. The event was a summit put on by Washington STEM, an organization founded to reimagine and revitalize STEM education for every student in the state. According to its website, the organization is doing this by driving innovation and improvement in STEM education. One of the focuses of Tuesday’s event was girls and women in STEM as a number of female speakers were featured throughout the day. One of those speakers was Dr. Mae Jemison, a former NASA astronaut and the first black woman in space. She spoke during a STEM leadership breakfast and was featured as a keynote speaker later that morning, addressing all attendees.

STRONG SUPPORT SYSTEMS Jemison discussed a

bit about how she got into the field. She told her audiences that going into space was a foregone conclusion. “I never had any doubts,” she said. There were a number of other science fields she was interested in as a girl, but it always came back to outer space. She didn’t receive much push back from her family and others close to her, but as a young black woman who grew up in the 1960s and 1970s, she was aware of the racism as well as sexism of the times. Jemison said she just did not experience it directly. Despite the era she grew up in, Jemison said in some ways, it is more difficult for girls to go into STEM fields now because there is more emphasis on looks. If a girl is worried about how she looks, she is not likely to be going outside playing, making mud pies or anything like that, Jemison said. “It’s something adults are doing,” she said about this type of attitude.

DIVERSITY AND ENCOURAGING YOUTH

During her speeches, Jemison also discussed

some of the things she feels need to be done in order to encourage young people’s — girls’ and boys’ — interests in STEM fields. One of the terms she used was science literacy, meaning everyone will need to have at least a basic comprehension of science even if they do not go into a related field. Ana Mari Cauce, president of the University of Washington (UW), agreed. She said people need to have basic science and numerical literacy in order to just be citizens of the world. Cauce, along with Peggy Johnson, executive vice president for Microsoft’s business development division, was also a featured speaker, participating in a questionand-answer session with Washington STEM CEO Patrick D’Amelio. The trio covered a number of topics, including the importance of diversity on campus and in the workplace. Cauce said not only is encouraging people of all backgrounds to enter STEM fields the right thing to do, she said they are going to need all the talent out there to remain competitive in the world.

When discussing diversity in the workplace, Johnson recalled her early days at Qualcomm — the company where she worked prior to coming to Microsoft. She said when she started, there were only a few female engineers and she was even told at one point to “be one of the guys.” Some of the suggestions

people made to her included speaking up more, being more aggressive and pounding the table. “I tried that,” Johnson said. “It was horrible.” She said she felt very inauthentic because that wasn’t her personality. However, these were some of the characteristics employees were rated on, so Johnson and another colleague worked with the company’s human resources department to revamp their evaluations system. She said this shifted how they looked at hiring

engineering senior manager at The Boeing Company; John Vechey, founder of Popcap; and Elizabeth Vela Stephens, research scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. The three students inquired about how the three professionals got into the industry and what led them to their current jobs, what were some of the difficulties they faced along the way and more. Both Vo and McCune said it was fun to get to ask people working in the industry some questions, while Munsunuri added that it was good to be able to hear from people from different areas of STEM. The young women also recognized the importance and significance of having more girls and women in STEM fields. Munsunuri said history is filled with male scientists and it’s time to change that. Vo agreed as the world is half female and half male. “We need to have the female perspective,” she said.

and promoting. Johnson said now at Microsoft, diversity is something they discuss on a regular basis but acknowledges that they are not where they should be yet. Johnson admitted that she just fell into her field, having been talked into changing her major from business to electrical engineering after a chance encounter while delivering mail to the latter department at her university. She said she would like to see more people actively choose this field, which is why she encourages people to discuss STEM with young people — particularly young women.

With a smile on his face, Gov. Jay Inslee took a question from a first-grader at Tuesday’s Washington STEM Summit at the Microsoft Conference Center. During a fireside chat in front of a large crowd to close out the event, the student asked Inslee if he learned about STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) when he was in first grade. Inslee noted that he was fascinated with trucks as a young student, and his dad — who was a high school biology teacher — often took him to Carkeek Park in Seattle to study “the critters under the rocks” and how they filter food out of the water. Earlier in his questionand-answer session with Mona Dailey of the Washington State Board of Education, Inslee said that every child will need to be aware of STEM courses and teachers need to make sure that those lessons are learned and replicated in school, from first grade on up. Another topic that Inslee touched upon during the talk was the lack of gender equity, specifically women of color, in the classrooms. He said there should be more mentors from the business world visiting classrooms to discuss their jobs, “more role models (for students) to see themselves in these jobs.” Dailey then involved Inslee in a discussion about investing more money in the school system. The governor noted that the Legislature needs to produce a plan in its next session to generate more than $3 billion for schools. He’s looking to forward to seeing this hopefully happen in the session, and he encourages people to speak with their legislators about a plan. Inslee proudly noted that the state invested $12 million into the computer science and engineering programs at the University of Washington and Western Washington University, and $2 million into a Microsoft IT lab for students.

Redmond’s Villeneuve, Eyman file initiatives last month

Regional water supply conditions back to normal Cascade Water Alliance joined the cities of Everett, Seattle and Tacoma on Nov. 23 in deactivating its Water Shortage Response Plan. Cascade and its members — Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Tukwila and the Sammamish Pla-

teau and Skyway water and sewer districts — get their drinking water from the Seattle water supply. Heavy rains in late October and early November led the three cities and Cascade to declare that water supply conditions were getting back to normal. Since that time, there’s been an overall shift in the weather pattern and the typical wet, cold November weather has returned.

require a twothirds legislative approval or voter Tim Eyman approval to raise taxes. In addition, the amendment would require a majority legislative approval to set the

amount of a fee increase. According to the Secretary of State’s website, I-1366 passed 51.52 percent to 48.48 percent statewide, with a voter turnout of 38.45 percent. King County’s voter turnout was 39.17 percent and the measure actually failed with a 61.32 percent no vote. Villeneuve noted that if more people participated

in the election, I-1366’s outcome may have been different. Eyman filed another initiative to the State Legislature last month that would limit tax increases to just one year, with only two exceptions: if the measure passed with twothirds legislative approval or if the measure was approved by voters. Eyman described it as

another “tougher to raise taxes initiative,” referring to I-1366 as well as other similar initiatives he has sponsored in the last six years. Like Villeneuve’s initiative, Eyman said they are not planning to collect signatures for this initiative yet, but they will if they feel there is enough interest to put it on the November 2016 ballot.

On Nov. 18, the Northwest Progressive Institute (NWPI) filed an initiative to the State Legislature. And while the end goal of an initiative or referendum is to become a law, NWPI founder, executive director and Redmond resident Andrew Villeneuve said the goal of their initiative is to “put it out there for discussion.” “It,” being the issue of low voter turnout. The initiative, the Majority Vote Protection Act, states that statewide initiatives and referenda would not pass unless there is a majority voter turnout (in addition to a simple majority vote). In addition, according to the initiative, a state initiative would fail if it requires a higher voting threshold than simple majority for any legislative action and the measure is approved by less than the same percentage of registered voters. The number of registered voters in the state would be determined seven days before the election. Villeneuve said laws passed in the Legislature require an absolute majority, meaning a measure must receive a simple majority vote with the majority of lawmakers present for the vote. A measure voters pass that gets turned into a law is equal to one passed by the Legislature in terms of power, so the same absolute majority requirement should apply to measures voted on by the people, he said. He said initiatives and referenda — laws — cannot be decided by a minority of the population. For Villeneuve and NWPI, the Majority Vote Protection Act is just

research at the moment. He said when anyone Andrew Villeneuve files an initiative or referendum, it becomes a matter of public information and anyone — from the State Legislature to the average citizen — is able to look at it. That is the purpose of their initiative — to make people aware of the issue. Submitting initiatives or referenda do not automatically mean they will appear on a ballot. Measures must garner 246,372 or 123,186 signatures on a petition, respectively, in order to be put to a vote. If it looks like the Majority Vote Protection Act is an issue people are interested in, Villeneuve said they are open to collecting petition signatures to put it on the ballot. Villeneuve said there are multiple ways to address a problem and the purpose of their initiative is just one way that could encourage registered voters to fill out and send in their ballots — or at least get people thinking about the state’s declining voter turnout during odd-numbered years. One example of an initiative passing with low voter turnout came during the last general election last month. Initiative 1366, which called for a decrease in state retail sales tax rate unless, by April 15, 2016, two-thirds the State Legislature authorizes to refer to the ballot a vote on a constitutional amendment. Tim Eyman of Mulkiteo, who sponsored the initiative, said the amendment would

Jacksons stores raise money for domestic-violence prevention Since Thanksgiving, customers at the Jacksons Food Store at 11520 Avondale Rd. N.E. in Redmond have been able to help support those affected by domestic violence.

The Redmond location — along with the other Washington Jacksons stores — is raising money for the Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV). This is the sixth year the campaign has run in Washington and the Redmond store has participated every year. Reed Forrester with the WSCADV said last year, the store in Redmond raised the most money

of any store in the state: $1,249. In addition, Jacksons CEO John Jackson matched the contribution, bringing the store’s total to $2,498. “The store’s performance was all the more impressive since last year was the first time they made the top-10 list of fundraisers,” Forrester said. According to a joint press release issued by the WSCADV and Jacksons, during the 2014 campaign, Washington Jacksons Food Stores customers contributed more than $14,500 for a total of more than $29,000 in donations, after Jacksons’ matches. In the state’s six years of par-

ticipating in the campaign, Washington Jacksons stores have brought in more than $200,000 for the coalition. “We are so appreciative of the generosity and commitment of John Jackson, the Jacksons Food Store family, and their loyal customers,” said Nan Stoops, executive director of the WSCADV. “The Give the Gift of Peace campaign is a model of how communities can come together and truly make a difference. In addition to the funds it raises, the campaign makes an invaluable contribution to the community by increasing awareness and sharing domestic

violence information and resources.” Since the inception of the Give the Gift of Peace campaign, the release states that Jacksons has raised more than $1,030,000 through this program to help end violence against women and children and assist individuals who have experienced domestic violence. Katrinna Lemmon, the company’s marketing and promotions manager, said each participating state has its own domestic violence prevention coalition to which the funds are donated. This is the 12th year of Jacksons’ Give the Gift

of Peace campaign in the Northwest and Lemmon said it is their biggest fundraiser of the year. It is also the company’s only in-store fundraiser, she added. Lemmon said customers can donate in $1, $5 and $10 increments and when they do, they can write their names on a paper dove that will be posted on the store’s walls. In addition, they will receive a sticker they can wear the rest of the day to let others know about their contribution. At the end of the campaign, Jackson, will once again match all customer contributions dollar for dollar up to $75,000.

City to refinance Bear Creek Parkway improvement bonds

in September of 2008 for $33.9 million dollars. At the time of the sale in 2008, the interest rate was 4.825 percent and the bonds couldn’t be refunded until 10 years passed. With the current interest rates around 2.5-3 percent, the city is planning to refund the bonds now and lock in the current interest rates until the full 10 years are up in 2019. The city will save an estimated $2.1 million over the next 10 years. An estimated $10 million of bonds will be sold in December 2015 and January 2016. Also, the city will sell $7 million more in bonds

to provide for the conversion of Redmond Way and Cleveland Streets to twoway streets. The bond sale replaces the amount that was to be a loan from the state that went unfunded by the state legislature. The City of Redmond’s AAA S&P rating with a stable outlook was affirmed by Standard and Poors. That is the highest bond rating available (one notch above the rating for the U.S. government). According to a City of Redmond press release, S&P said, “We view Redmond’s city management as ‘very strong,’ with

strong financial policies and practices.” “We are pleased to be recognized by the bond rating industry for the ninth consecutive year as good financial stewards for the City of Redmond,” said Redmond Mayor John Marchione.

Full speed ahead: Redmond features fastest EV charging station ANDY NYSTROM anystrom@redmond-reporter.com

State Sen. Andy Hill (45th Legislative District), right, speaks with Terry O’Day, EVgo’s west regional vice president, on Wednesday morning about the new electric vehicle (EV) charging station, pictured, at Redmond Town Center. ANDY NYSTROM, Redmond Reporter

Like moths to a flame. That’s how Terry O’Day, EVgo’s west regional vice president, describes electricvehicle (EV) drivers who are on the lookout for charging stations. He offered up that analogy on Wednesday morning during an event to unveil a new, state-of-the-art station at Redmond Town Center (RTC). The station is located on the main floor of the parking garage off the Northeast 76th Street entrance.

RTC Property Manager Courtney Klein noted that customers were so thrilled to charge up at the new station that they were taking down barricades and moving cones out of the way during construction. They had to wait until Wednesday, though, and after state Sen. Andy Hill’s car received the first charge-up at the event. “When the opportunity came up with NRG (EVgo), we were very excited to move on board,” said Klein, noting that with Redmond being a technology driven city, they’ve received EV-charging

requests from RTC hotel visitors and shoppers, along with Microsoft and AT&T employees on the center’s campus. O’Day said the RTC station is the first high-speed charging station that can support two cars charging at once. Customers can also charge their EVs faster than ever before — nearly a full charge in less than 30 minutes — at the EVgo Freedom Station, which is designed to support both current and future charging technologies. The 50 kW DC Fast chargers are available for drivers using

either CHAdeMO or DC Fast Combo plugs. NRG has more than 500 fast-charging stations throughout the country, and according to O’Day, the RTC station is an exciting step forward for the network. “It’s not just a single charging station, which is a wonderful opportunity if you’re shopping at Redmond Town Center, but, rather, a network of stations that says to EV drivers, or would-be EV drivers, that they can go anywhere in the region and never have to worry where [ more CHARGING page 10]

Sometimes children ask, “Why do I have to learn math?” and think that they won’t need math later in life. Well, it is true that there are many jobs other than being a mathematician or math teacher, but most professional careers require a college degree. Math plays a pivotal role in getting into college, succeeding in college and having the most opportunities for career development. Children may not understand the value of a college degree when they are young, but it is important for parents to ensure that their children have a strong academic foundation to give them the most options later on. Based on U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, occupations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) have the greatest job prospects in the future. Workers with a degree in a STEM field were significantly less likely to face unemployment compared with their non-STEM counterparts. Since the beginning of 2000, growth in STEM jobs was three times greater than growth in non-STEM jobs. The Occupational Outlook Handbook, created by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, offers a projection of the fastest growing professions and of the most amount of new jobs. The

were being separated as one child had been approved to be released while their brothers and or sisters were not — even if their paperwork was submitted together as a unit. “It just shows how random it was,” Jennefer said about the selection process. In addition to the relief the Boyers have felt to having Luke and Andre home with them, Jennefer said it was an added relief to be reunited with her husband and daughters stateside. She couldn’t have imagined a better holiday season. Jason said he is also overjoyed at their new circumstances. The nine-month separation while Jennefer was in the DRC with their sons and he was here with their daughters was not easy. “It was hard,” Jason said. “It was very difficult.”

A STATE OF SHOCK

After learning of Luke and Andre’s release, the Boyers worked quickly to get that exit letter. Jennefer said on her end, she contacted the U.S. embassy to push to get the letter as soon as possible. Stateside, Jason

Added Christine Olson on the Reporter’s Facebook page: “(They’re) aggressive... Just say ‘Merry Christmas’ if you want to say it... No need to tell others how to live their lives. Very simple.” Lisa Rhodes, City of Redmond communications manager, noted: “We are not aware of how many there are, or who is responsible for placing them. We have received a few emails and calls from residents and media inquiring about the legality of the signs and the city’s thoughts or plans for them, not concerns about the message.” Mayor John Marchione added: “The ‘It’s OK to say Merry Christmas’ signs are a form of free speech that is permissible on public property. The city has no plans to remove the signs. Since

booked a flight to the DRC for Nov. 9, with return tickets for the four of them for Nov. 10 — a mere eight days after they learned Luke and Andre had made the list. The Boyers’ two daughters, Claire, 5, and Gabby, 7, would welcome their brothers home when the arrived at SeaTac International Airport on Nov. 12 (they had to make a pit stop to drop off another child in Washington, D.C. with his adoptive family before coming home). “I think I’m still in shock,” Jennefer said about the fact that her whole family is finally together at home and waking up to hear their sons and daughters playing and laughing together. “I don’t take it for granted.” Both she and Jason are still getting used to having all four of their children at home — but in a good way. “It’s great,” Jason said. “The house is in chaos. It’s the loudest it’s ever been.”

A WARM WELCOME

Jennefer said there are a number of people to thank in helping to bring their sons home. They have received support from family and friends, as evidenced in the incredibly warm welcome they arrived to at SeaTac.

the signs began appearing three years ago, the people placing the signs have removed them by New Year’s day.” Underneath the main message, in smaller letters, there’s a quotation from Romans 1:16 of the Bible: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes; first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.” A lengthy verse from the Gospel of Luke follows in tiny lettering. On Facebook, some residents said the signs are “silly” or “ridiculous” because people should be able to say what they want whether it’s emblazoned on a sign or not. Others noted that they’re grateful for the signs, and the First Amendment allows them to say “Merry Christmas.”

“Everywhere we’ve gone, our boys have been welcome,” Jennefer said. “That part’s been beautiful.” In addition, she said they are grateful to the various U.S. representatives and U.S. senators who signed letters sent to the Congolese government regarding the adoption issue. The lawmakers — including Reps. Suzan DelBene and Dave Reichert and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell — also checked in with their family from time to time. “I can’t tell you how much joy I felt when I heard that Jennefer was going to be able to bring her sons home,” DelBene said. “This has been such a long journey for her family and I can’t imagine how difficult it was to split time between Washington and the DRC. I’m glad I was able to help advocate for Andre and Luke and that they’ve made it home safely. I look forward to meeting them in person soon!” But just because the Boyers’ adoptive battle is now over, it does not mean they are done advocating for the cause. It has been great for the Boyers to be altogether now, but Jennefer said it has also been difficult knowing there are still more than 1,000 children who are waiting to be released to be with their adoptive families, which makes them feel horrible. “We are still fighting for them,” she said.

they’ll get their charge. It enables a new category of EV buyers to come to this market,” O’Day said. According to a press release, 45 percent of Washington state’s greenhouse gas emissions are generated by on-road transportation, and the addition of an EVgo Freedom Station will help further King County’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent by 2030. Heather Mulligan of Puget Sound Energy (PSE), EVgo’s utility partner, noted that “with over 6,500 electric vehicles in PSE’s service territory, we are home to some of the most forwardthinking and energy aware customer groups in the country.” One of those EV drivers is, of course, Hill, who represents the 45th Legislative District and is also a Redmond resident. He’s the chairman of the senate Ways and Means Committee and a member of the Legislature’s EV caucus.

Hill noted that he’s also been a big fan of EVs. “Growing up, my father actually built golf carts and electric-utility vehicles, and so I spent my summers maintaining and repairing these things,” said Hill, adding that his father also street-licensed an EV 30 years ago. Hill’s wife also drives an EV and he said they’ll surely use the new station when they go shopping at RTC. On the legislative side, Hill said they try to give sales tax credits for EV drivers. He’s especially impressed that the private sector is involved with the EV network, and that sends the message that everyone’s playing a role in caring for the environment. Redmond City Council member Byron Shutz noted: “As our international leaders gather in Paris this morning to take action to address climate change, it’s quite fitting that we are gathering here to highlight how we can take action and make progress in reducing carbon emissions locally.”
