The view from one of the jet bridges at the new passenger terminal at Paine Field in Everett. Alaska Airlines’ first flight, to Las Vegas, is slated to be 9 a.m. March 4.

Paine Field flights coming soon
‘For 10 years I’ve been promising myself I would be on that first flight,’ says reservation holder By Janice Podsada Herald Writer
EVERETT — Ryan Crowther hopes to be aboard the first commercial passenger flight from Paine Field, a nonstop to Las Vegas. He’s not sure when that will occur, but at some point the Everett resident expects to walk through a new passenger terminal, which more resembles a grand hotel than a waiting area, and
through a glass jet bridge to a sleek Embraer 175 twin jet sporting blue Alaska Airlines-Horizon Air livery. March 4 is the start date after Alaska last month elected to delay the start of service from Everett. It had been scheduled for Feb. 11, but the partial government shutdown last month led to uncertainty about the timeline for final federal approval of passenger flights. “They’ve been talking about commercial air service in Snohomish
County for 10 years, and for 10 years I’ve been promising myself I would be on that first flight,” said Crowther, the founder of Everett Music Initiative and the Fisherman’s Village Music Festival. When Alaska Airlines began selling tickets on Nov. 15, he booked a seat on the first flight from the Snohomish County-owned airport. It could have been a trip to anywhere, Crowther said. “The destination didn’t matter.”
As luck would have it, it happened to be a 9 a.m. flight to Las Vegas. “It’s really about the excitement of getting to experience the new airport,” Crowther said. The government shutdown caused the furlough of thousands of Federal Aviation Administration workers — some of whom still need to sign off on an environmental assessment of the See FLIGHTS, Page B5

impact of passenger flights at Paine Field. Alaska postponed the start of service by three weeks before the shutdown ended — when it was still uncertain if it ever would end. The other carrier that will serve Paine Field, United
Airlines, hadn’t planned to begin service until March 31, and that date so far is unaffected. Alaska and United plan a combined 24 daily departures from the airport’s terminal, subject to that FAA approval. On the FAA front, the agency was expected to render a decision this month, and the outcome is expected to be a green light. A draft version of a revised environmental
assessment, released last fall, found no significant issues. Still, another potential snag looms. The Trump administration has said it’s not averse to shutting down the government again this month if Congress doesn’t agree to fund a barrier along the Southwest border. Crowther and other travelers are holding their breath. So, too, are the passenger agents, ground crews and others that have spent months
preparing for the passenger terminal’s opening day. Propeller Airports, a forprofit company, has invested more than $40 million to build the two-gate terminal, a striking steel and glass structure on the east side of the airport, near the control tower. Propeller will manage it under a long-term lease agreement with the county. Inside, travelers will find cushy chairs, a pair of

Northwest will manage the airport’s 1,100 parking spaces. Brett Smith, Propeller’s CEO, said there won’t be a traditional car rental counter because “most airports have moved away from this concept.” Instead there will be a rental car facility at the ground transportation center — a small building near baggage claim — where customers can board a courtesy van for the car lot. In early January, about two dozen Alaska Airlines agents, many of them new hires, got their first look at the terminal. They brought their carry-on luggage and rolling suitcases to simulate the hurly-burly of travel. They were greeted by AlaskaHorizon flight QX 9985 from Portland. Its 8 a.m. arrival was part of a “fit test,” a dry run to check the terminal’s equipment and computer systems and work out snags, said Renee Parson, Alaska’s Paine Field station manager. Agents took turns at the control consoles that operate the jet bridges. McGee Air Services, a subsidiary of Alaska Airlines, began moving equipment and staff to the airport last month. On that day of training, a new McGee Air Services employee was getting her first lesson in driving a baggage tug out on the airfield. Painters were busy striping the ramp area with white and red lines that will outline lanes for aircraft and equipment. New hire Tami Silicio was ecstatic about coming out of retirement and joining a “pioneering” crew. In some respects “we’ll be writing our own playbook,” Silicio said. Chris Gore, McGee’s Paine Field station manager, explained: “Other airports have all the stuff there. Everything is already in place. This is a brand new experience.” McGee’s station agents are being cross-trained to assist

passengers, handle baggage and marshal planes — guiding them to the gates with those orange sticks you see at every airport. Except for a few supervisors who were transferred, “everyone at Paine are new hires,” said Maren Robinson, McGee’s corporate program development manager. Renton-based McGee has hired 40 union-represented workers and plans to hire at least 30 more, she said. Matt Elliott, of Snohomish, spoke for many of his co-workers: “We’re looking forward to getting out of the classroom and getting to work.” Eventually, the terminal
is expected to employ 200 to 300 people, including parking attendants, aircraft cleaners and restaurant workers. Paine Field has added about 30 employees for security and firefighting, eight of them firefighters, airport officials have said. The airport would not comment on security or safety measures. Cynthia Schultz, the former director of Great Falls International Airport in Montana, said higher FAA standards for firefighting and rescue capabilities come into play with the introduction of commercial passenger flights. There are minimum response times, with firefighters and their equipment
usually required to reach any runway in three minutes or less “during any hours of scheduled aircraft operation,” she said. And access to airport property will be tightened. Students at Everett Community College’s Aviation Maintenance Technician School, which is located near the new terminal, will experience a big change. They won’t be allowed outside the hangars on the secure side of the airfield unless accompanied by faculty or staff with appropriate airport badges, said Rob Prosch, associate dean of aviation. “Anything behind the airport fence is the secure side of the airfield,” Prosch said.
KEVIN CLARK / THE HERALD
Elize Boyens, an Alaska Airlines passenger agent, was struck by the terminal’s design. “Somebody listened to the passengers,” said Boyens of Lynnwood. People are stressed when they fly. “This is lovely,” Boyens said. She singled out the unique glass jet bridges as particularly breath-taking. “They’ll let the passengers get a view of the mountains and the big airplanes at Boeing,” she said. “Now they just need to get off the ground.” Janice Podsada; jpodsada@ heraldnet.com; 425-339-3097; Twitter: JanicePods

you have to ask: “What’s so smart about a smart mirror?” Teresa Wenta, the company’s executive director of global marketing, took first crack at an answer. With the power off, it’s a mirror. Switched on, it’s like a big smartphone, Wenta said. Any app that’s available on the Android platform, such as Twitter, Instagram or Netflix, can be downloaded. It can hook up to a speaker. “You can even call up Heraldnet.com and read the headlines while you’re
brushing your teeth,” she said. Paired with a smart-home system, the Wi-Fi-enabled mirror can control the lights or security system. Depending on size and features, home versions sell for $2,500 to $10,000. The first are scheduled to ship in April. The company began taking orders at the beginning of the year. One big advantage over a smartphone: “You don’t run the risk of dropping it in the toilet,” Wenta joked. The Savvy Home SmartMirror made a big splash at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Last Vegas. Business Insider named it the Best Lifestyle Technology product, said Jim Mischel Jr., the company’s president and CEO. That guy you’ve seen at the department See MIRROR, Page B10

store make-up counter, obsessively checking the mirrors? It might be Mischel. “I also check the mirrors at hotels and trade shows. It’s second nature. It’s how I get ideas,” said Mischel, who is a patent attorney. Electric Mirror’s sales exceeded $60 million last year. Its traditional products, mirrors and lighted mirrors, make up the majority of sales, Wenta said. “Smart mirrors are a relatively
new product line. We expect our smart mirror product category to continue to grow and make up an ever-increasing percentage of total product sales,” she said. In 1997, Mischel Jr. and his parents — former dentist Jim Mischel Sr. , who goes by Doc, and Faith — and siblings Aaron and Mia launched the business in the family’s Lynnwood garage. They sold their first product, a mirror that didn’t fog, to hotels. With success, “mom kicked us out of the garage,” Mischel said. Since then, Electric Mirror has moved to various locations in the area. In 2016, it opened a 125,000 square-foot plant in Everett. Today it employs more than
300, including engineers, machine operators, polishers and support staff, Mischel said. With new products about to ship and the plant running two and three shifts, the “now hiring” sign is always up outside the Electric Mirror plant. The company buys the raw glass from suppliers. Electric Mirror applies coatings, builds frames, designs the technology and even builds its own shipping crates. “We’re a sheet-metal company, a glass company, a lighting company and an electronics company,” Mischel said. Its traditional mirrors can be found in the Hilton and Hyatt hotel chains, at Trump
International Hotel in Las Vegas and at the Tulalip Resort Casino. About two years ago, Electric Mirror introduced the Savvy SmartMirror for use in the hospitality industry. The Marriott’s Sinclair Hotel in downtown Fort Worth, which is opening in April, will be the first hotel to offer rooms with the company’s smart mirrors, Wenta said. The company said smart “hospitality” mirrors can be programmed to display a restaurant menu, swimming pool hours — whatever the hotel wants,” Wenta said. “We can help them customize the content,” she said. Guests can use a smart mirror to control room temperature,
close the blinds, lock the doors or communicate with hotel staff, Wenta said. “If you forgot your toothbrush or need more towels — you can tell the mirror and it would let the desk know,” he said. A year ago, Electric Mirror rejiggered the concept — made its smart mirror more like a smartphone — and scaled it for the home. “The thing about technology is you want it when you want it, but when you’re done with it — you don’t want to see it all the time,” said Mischel.

year, the Port will be prepared for post-Panamax vessels, a perfect fit for this new opportunity in short-sea shipping.
The Port was notified in January 2019 that it received designation by the U.S. Secretary of Transportation as a Federal Maritime Administration Marine Highway Project for the Puget Sound Container on Barge Service under the America’s Marine Highway Program. The Port is one of 25 marine highway projects in the nation, and the only marine project designation on the West Coast. The designation makes the Port eligible for future grant funding from the Marine Highway Grant Program to fund infrastructure improvements or equipment to enhance the Port’s ability to expand barge service along the Puget Sound marine corridor. “This service highlights the importance of expanding waterborne options that can relieve congestion on local roads and rail networks while introducing additional resiliency that is vital to our Nation’s transportation system,” said Catherine Simons, Legislative Affairs Specialist in the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Maritime Administration. “With anticipated regional growth specifically, and in our nation broadly, there is expected to be significant growth
in freight volumes, requiring transportation alternatives for shippers. Our nation’s vast network of inland waterways and coastal routes has substantial excess capacity that can absorb growth.” The Port of Everett currently offers Container on Barge service from its shipping terminals in Everett to the Mount Baker Terminal. This service is limited to the aerospace industry, however. The new designation will allow the port to ship non-aerospace containerized freight via the marine highway from Everett to the Ports of Seattle and Tacoma, removing as many as 300 containers per month from the I-5 corridor. The I-5 corridor through Everett leads the nation in traffic congestion. “We always support opportunities to get trucks off highways,” said Don Esterbrook, Deputy CEO of The Northwest Seaport Alliance. “This designation has the potential to provide value for our exporters by facilitating better turn times.” When the modernization of the South Terminal is completed next
WWW.PORTOFEVERETT.COM |
“This designation provides the foundation for the Port of Everett and our partner ports in Seattle and Tacoma to develop and market the Container on Barge service. We have identified strong market opportunities to expand short-sea shipping service for the Port of Everett to Seattle and Tacoma for a variety of cargoes,” said Carl Wollebek, Chief Operating Officer for the Port of Everett Seaport. The Port has extensive experience with Container on Barge transportation. Barge transportation of 777 parts for The Boeing Company began in 1993. By 2008 the Port was shipping aerospace cargo by barge to the Mount Baker Terminal, eliminating the need for BNSF mainline closures caused by oversized aerospace shipments. Additionally, 70% of the empty containers are sent by barge to the Northwest Seaport Alliance terminals in Seattle and Tacoma to be returned to Japan. “We are very happy to receive this federal designation, both for the new market opportunities it will open up, and for the relief it will provide to our already congested mainland highways,” Port of Everett CEO Les Reardanz said.

‘FOODPRENEUR’
The city of Snohomish is bringing expert advice to entrepreneurs and small businesses. They know what it takes to get your product noticed on the grocery store shelf. By Janice Podsada Herald Writer
ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD
Industry experts gave advice for aspiring food entrepreneurs at a recent event at the Double Barrel Wine Bar in Snohomish. From left: Lowell Profit Jr., founder of GloryBucha in Arlington; Scott Wetzel, head of Arlington-based Fresh Bread Designs; Darin Leonard, director of OneAccord Capital; Craig Doan, chief scientist for Impact Washington; and Zach Zulauf, organizer of Seattle Foodtrepreneurs.
SNOHOMISH — Zoe Rust, founder of the The Monthly Dozen, wanted to turn up the heat on her online cookie business. When she heard that the city of Snohomish was holding a meetup for aspiring food entrepreneurs, Zoe, age 12, persuaded her mom to take her. Zoe was one of 50 people of all ages who attended a recent “Foodpreneur” event, featuring a panel of food industry experts. A noisy, happy crowd gathered at the Double Barrel Wine Bar at 108 Avenue A in Snohomish to hear from Zach Zulauf, organizer of Seattle Foodtrepreneurs; Scott Wetzel, head of Arlington-based Fresh Bread Designs; and Darin Leonard, director of OneAccord Capital,
among others. Randall Poole of Lake Stevens and business partner Curtis Watson hope to put their barbecue sauce on the grocery shelf. “We’re trying to figure out what to do next ,” said Poole, who brought along a sample bottle of their award-winning chipotle blackberry sauce. The meetup was the first in a series cooked up by Wendy Poischbeg, the city’s new economic development manager. The next meetup, covering self-employment, will be held Feb. 21. They’re part of Poischbeg’s zero-dollar strategy to boost the city’s economy. “We don’t have a budget,” Poischbeg said. Instead, the city is relying on good-hearted experts to share knowledge without charge, she said. The meetups are free and

open to anyone, including non-residents. The next one focuses on the gig economy. To view the lineup, check out the city’s website. There is an ulterior motive, admitted Poischbeg. “We hope they’ll open a business in Snohomish.” Since joining the city last May, Poischbeg has bumped into a fair number of would-be food entrepreneurs who’d like to enter the packaged food market but don’t know where to start.

For some, it’s about sharing grandma’s butter cookie recipe or their chocolate granola bars with the world. “They want help with scaling up,” she said. Poischbeg brought in experts who could speak to issues around marketing, packaging and obtaining a loan. Leonard, with OneAccord Capital, provided tips on approaching a potential investor.

sales figures, Leonard said. “I’m not sure I know of anyone who’s funded a food entrepreneur before they had a following,” said Leonard, the former CEO of Snohomish-based Dream Dinners. Be able to describe how your product is different from the rest. “There are 3,000 chili sauces out there — what’s different about yours?” Wetzel, owner of Fresh Bread Designs, explained why creating a logo yourself and using a home printer to make the product labels isn’t a good idea. The bottled sauce you’ve sold to a restaurant supply group may be yummy, but if the label is smeared because you’ve used the wrong kind paper or ink — no one is going to want it, he said.

The same standard applies to other products you’re thinking about taking to market, Poischbeg added. The delicate tissue paper that wraps your handmade lilac soap isn’t going to withstand repeated handling. “Fifty people a day might pick it up,” Poischbeg said. “Store’s aren’t going to stock it if the package can’t take the wear and tear,” she cautioned. The logo and package design should
speak to your target market. If the product is directed toward young urbanites, it’s got to be packaged differently than if it’s aimed at families, Leonard said. Lowell Profit Jr., founder of GloryBucha, an Arlington kombucha bar and taproom, offered this advice: To make sure everything is right, hire an expert. Profit began brewing the carbonated fermented tea drink in his garage, testing
it on family and friends. When it actually began to taste good, he paid to have it commercially tested. When it came to packaging, he tapped a marketer and graphic designer in New York to design the company logo. “Don’t short-change yourself. Make sure everything is right on,” said Profit, who left a 12-year career at Costco to start his business. Everyone was all ears when Zulauf offered Zoe advice. It begins with keeping track of your production costs, he said. Do you know how much money it costs to make each cookie, bottle of sauce?
ANDY BRONSON / THE HERALD
Do you know how big you want your business to be — as in, do you want to keep it in your kitchen or eventually be bought out by Frito-Lay? (Zoe’s aims to earn enough money to attend culinary school by the time she’s of college age.) Can you run your business and still do the things that are important in your life? And remember to delight your customers, Zulauf said. “If you charge $21 a dozen for your cookies, make sure they get a $25 experience. Give them more than they expect.” Janice Podsada; jpodsada@heraldnet. com; 425-339-3097; Twitter: JanicePods

Would you hire someone recovering from addiction? Workforce Snohomish will pay transitional wages for workers who need to get back to work By Janice Podsada Herald Writer
EVERETT — Employers wanted: Hire a job-seeker who’s recovering from opioid addiction and Workforce Snohomish will pay 100 percent of their wages. The nonprofit agency, which operates employment assistance and training centers in Everett and Lynnwood, hopes to recruit businesses for a new program aimed at getting people in recovery back to work, said Elizabeth
Gordon, the agency’s director of professional services. “Workforce will be the employer of record and pay their wages,” Gordon said. The agency is getting $2.4 million in federal money to help people affected by the opioid crisis. “A portion of the funds are going to this program,” she said. Workforce hopes to provide about 120 people in recovery with fully paid “transitional jobs” lasting one to two months.
“These jobs are for people who don’t have a recent work history or just need time re-adjusting to the workplace,” Gordon said. Another 280 would receive career services, Gordon said. Getting people back to work is one of the keys to sobriety, said Mary Jane Brell-Vujovic, director of the Snohomish County Human Services Department. “Employment is one of the critical components along with housing and treatment that are necessary to be
able to move forward,” Brell-Vujovic said. ”This is another resource that will help them get jobs.” Snohomish County has been hard hit by the opioid crisis. An estimated 5,000 to 10,000 county residents are experiencing opioid addiction; another 35,000 to 80,000 people may be misusing opioids, according to a recent Snohomish Health District report.

Liberals should think twice about tax, spending schemes
C
ongress enjoys spending money it doesn’t have, and efforts to restrain deficit spending have been a total failure. They were apparently no match for either Congressional thinking or thought-free actions. The current annual deficit is approaching $1 trillion and shows no signs of shrinking. In fact, deficit spending only decreases in that fairyland future where it is overwhelmed by wishful thinking. As we move into fairyland’s suburbs, otherwise known as election campaigns, imaginative spending ideas become an easy way for candidates to distinguish themselves, giving them an identity in an ever-growing crowd of rivals. And we also have some imaginative taxation ideas, which serve a similar purpose — providing identities for candidates.
JAMES McCUSKER Curiously, though, there are few connections between the two sides of the deficit equation. The candidates who offer imaginative spending plans do not seem to care about how we pay for them, and those who offer imaginative taxation ideas do not seem to care how the proceeds are spent. One of the spending proposals is a single-payer system called “Medicare for All,” most recently supported and given additional spin by Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., who would
add to it the elimination of all private medical care insurance. Theoretically, in such a system, if you need health care you just show up at a hospital or clinic and you will get it — no forms or other paperwork. Harris seems uninterested in what such a system would cost and would instead substitute faith that the elimination of paperwork and insurance company profits would balance the books. They won’t, of course. Some critics have calculated that over time it would blow a $30 trillion hole in the federal budget. Medicare is itself an insurance program for which participants pay premiums set by the federal government. Medicaid, by contrast, is a welfare program which provides health care benefits to poverty-stricken families and individuals. Medicaid is chronically on shaky

financial ground, and neither program could be considered aperwork free.is paperworkfree. Still, if there is no place else to go, perhaps people will find a way to make it work — although coming up with the money would be a tall, tall, problem. Candidates with tax schemes so far enjoy a numerical advantage over those with spending schemes. All of them, however, have to be content with working in the shadow of the Clinton administration, which set the bar for ill-fated tax ingenuity, and it’s a high one. That early-1990s tax proposal was simple enough. Anyone who owned a home would have to pay income tax each year on its “imputed income” — that is, what the house would rent for in the market where it was located. The reception that the imputed income idea received in the news media and in public
opinion was decidedly negative and the power of that negativity seems to have erased all evidence of whose idea it was in the first place. That hasn’t entirely blocked people from guessing, though, and it may come up during the upcoming campaign. The current major tax proposals by announced presidential candidates plan to “tax the rich” one way or another. Demographically, the rich make an attractive target for politicians because the wealthy, despite their growing numbers, remain a small minority of eligible voters. As donors, they are another matter, but that is something each candidate’s campaign has to figure out. Generally, though, taxing the rich appeals to voters who are attracted to programs that See MCCUSKER, Page B19

McCusker From Page B18
somebody else will pay for. Rep. Alexandria OcasioCortez, D-N.Y., is proposing an income tax rate of 70 percent on high-income earners. It has several advantages; the first being that it is clearly within the Constitutional boundaries of federal taxation. It also has a seeming advantage in that “we’ve been there before” with even higher marginal tax rates and the country survived intact. That same history, though, also showed us that it had little impact on income inequality. It also brought forth a wave of tax dodges and schemes that were not healthy for our economy. In today’s world of international cash and capital flows, the opportunities for such tax avoidance schemes would
multiply and could do serious damage to our economic system and our economic growth. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has offered a proposal that’s innovative in that it would tax the accumulated wealth of individuals. Her plan calls for a tax of 2 percent on the assets of those whose net worth is over $50 million. Her plan may collide with the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits that kind of tax, but scholars differ on this point. Taken as a whole, the presidential tax proposals seem to be works-in-progress. They are aimed at producing major social change, but their economic impact has not been thoroughly worked out. That could be an expensive oversight.
