Ruling: Student housing project can proceed The five-story building will have 124 units, 75% of which must be rented to students at Everett Community College, which had objected to the development. By Lizz Giordano Herald Writer

EVERETT — A five-story student housing project on North Broadway can move forward, according to a recent ruling by a Snohomish County Superior Court judge. The judgment upheld a hearing examiner decision. Everett Community College filed the litigation against the city of Everett and Koz Development in October over the project. A proposal for the triangleshaped piece of land at 1020 N. Broadway, where Lilly’s Garden restaurant operated for many years, was approved by Everett’s planning department in June 2018. The college argued the building should not be considered student housing because the project had no connection to EvCC. It also didn’t offer services associated with college lodging, such as support services, supervision or planned activities, “which are considered

essential elements for safe and supportive college student housing,” according to court documents. The college said the developer was using the term “student housing” to reduce the required amount of parking, which EvCC has called inadequate. EvCC officials also worried the project will siphon residents from the college’s two dormitories. In court documents, EvCC said there was a small unmet student housing demand near the college. Other objections included the size of the building which the college says would “aesthetically impair the entrance to the college by inserting a bulky, view-obstructing, six-story structure.” The project has been scaled down over the past year. Updated plans call for a fivestory building with 124 units, and 62 parking spaces on the ground floor. Most of the furnished apartments, 104, will be studios, with the remaining 20 one-bedrooms.

Planning for a 124-unit student housing building near Everett Community College is under way.

The new plan eliminates retail space and reduces the height of the building. It also shrinks the apartment unit count by 16. The redesign was done as a compromise with EvCC, said Cathy Reines, a founder and owner of Koz. “The retail space was eliminated and the number of rooms reduced from 140 to 124 to condense the overall mass of the building as well as allow for the setback off of Broadway,” Reines said in an email.

Koz and EvCC have a history of working together. The college signed a long-term lease with Koz, which owns one of the college’s two dormitories, Mountain View. The college has a similar agreement with another company that built Cedar Hall. The city of Everett is requiring Koz to rent 75 percent of the units to EvCC students, said Julio Cortes, a spokesperson for Everett. And the developer also cannot lease to a student with a car unless a parking

stall is available. “Access to housing is a significant issue facing our region and the city sees this project as a positive addition along the North Broadway corridor,” Cortes said in an email. The college is considering appealing the ruling, said Katherine Schiffner, a spokesperson for EvCC, but no final decision has been made.

Out of prison ... $7.6M in the hole Christine Hendrickson, of Bothell, sold stolen software while she was employed at Microsoft. Now she has a lifelong fiscal sentence By Zachariah Bryan Herald Writer

Christine Hendrickson owes $7 million in restitution for stealing and selling software from Microsoft while she worked as a group assistant at the tech giant in the early 2000s. She says she will never be able to pay it off.

addicted to methamphetamine and heroin, she celebrated seven years of sobriety in June. She’s found a passion, and a job as a writer. And she’s found a new hobby and meaning in fitness. Sometimes though, she said, she feels like she’s been set up to fail. “I just find it a little sad, that justice is like me being ridiculously poor,” she said. “If I could go back to prison right now for five years, even 10 years, and not have that debt, I would do it in a heartbeat.” Under the U.S. Mandatory Restitution Act of 1996, federal judges have little to no discretion when ordering restitution.

According to the law, a person convicted of theft must either return the property or, failing that, pay the value of it at the time it was stolen. As of 2016, there was more than $110 billion in outstanding federal restitution payments, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office — much of that due to people being unable to pay. As a result, there is some skepticism about whether the restitution helps either victims seeking compensation, or convicts trying for rehabilitation. In a paper published in the California Law Review, attorney Matthew Dickman

wondered if the pressure of paying impossibly high restitution leads convicts to commit new crimes. At least, he wrote, having an unpayable debt hinders their ability to reintegrate into society. He suggested that judges should have at least some flexibility in assigning payments. Nick Allen, an attorney with Columbia Legal Services in Seattle, has dedicated a lot of his work to the subject of fees and fines in Washington’s court systems, which have a similar approach to the federal system.

BOTHELL — Christine Hendrickson never knew the scale of her crime. As she flipped through old charging papers last week, she was shocked to see the numbers. In the early 2000s, she and three co-workers took tens of millions of dollars in software from Microsoft, where they were employed, then sold it to people across the country for their personal profit. Nearly 20 years later, Hendrickson still owes $7.4 million in restitution to a company now worth over a trillion dollars, for stealing software that’s long outdated. Now in her late 40s, she said she’ll never pay it off, barring incredible circumstances. It’s effectively a lifelong sentence. The stress seeps into her daily life. She avoids checking the mail, and she’s long stopped bothering to answer the phone, in fear that the courts are coming to collect. Job searches have become obstacle courses of explaining her felony history. And when she is working, her checks can be subject to garnishment. Romantic relationships are few and far between and seem like far-fetched fantasies. “I don’t think anybody in their right mind would marry a girl with $7 million in restitution,” she said. If she does get married, questions will lurk about how her spouse’s finances would be affected. Same goes for her parents’ estate when they pass away. And forget about getting a house in her name; she’s afraid to just own a car. If something has a dollar symbol attached to it, she has to assess: Will it get taken by the court system? She admits that she’s lapsed on her payments in the past, which are supposed to comprise no less than 10 percent of her paycheck. In the past, she was paying a couple-hundred per month, but at that rate it would take three millennia to pay off. It’s pointless, she said, but she does wonder what will happen if the U.S. government ever decides to collect. Despite everything, Hendrickson has managed to turn her life around. Formerly

Global festivities to celebrate Apollo 11 By Jeremy Rehm Associated Press

You can run a race, hit a museum, shoot off a rocket or count down to the moment 50 years ago that Neil Armstrong first stepped foot on the moon. There’s no shortage of events and exhibits celebrating the historic moon landing. Museums, galleries, concert halls, movie theaters and towns with an Apollo 11 connection will be marking the anniversary over the next few weeks, particularly for the July 16 launch, July 20 moon landing and July 24 splashdown. In downtown Wapakoneta, Ohio — Armstrong’s birthplace — the festivities include the Moon Festival Pageant, a Run to the Moon race and a “Wink at the Moon” concert, a nod to his family’s request after Armstrong died in 2012. In Huntsville, Alabama, where the Saturn V rocket was developed, there’ll be dancing in the streets. Residents will moonwalk down the roads of “Rocket City,” reliving the day they danced in the streets in 1969. The U.S. Space and Rocket Center is also going for a world record. On July 16 at 8:32 a.m. local time, exactly 50 years after Apollo 11 astronauts blasted off for the moon, the museum will attempt to set a Guinness World Record by launching 5,000 model rockets simultaneously. “It’s going to be epic,” said Pat Ammons, spokeswoman for the museum and its popular space camp. The cardboard rockets will be set up in circles representing the five F-1 engines that propelled Saturn V into space. The museum has also invited space fans around the world to launch their own rockets that day. So far, people from 29 countries have joined, including Argentina, Vietnam and China, Ammons said. NASA will mark the occasion on the eve of the landing anniversary with a live, 1 ½-hour broadcast on NASA TV from several sites, including Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the launch site for Apollo 11 crew of Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

ELAINE THOMPSON / ASSOCIATED PRESS FILE

Buzz Aldrin’s outer visor and gloves worn while walking on the moon are displayed near a photo of Aldrin at Destination Moon: The Apollo 11 Mission exhibit at the Museum of Flight in Seattle on April 11. The exhibit celebrates the 50th anniversary of the U.S. manned moon landing July 20, 1969.

The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation is throwing an astronaut golf tournament, astronaut parade and astronaut pub crawl in Florida. And there’s nowhere better to learn about the moon landing than the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum’s weeklong “Apollopalooza ” in Denver. Peanuts character Snoopy will make appearances in his astronaut regalia at Comic Con in San Diego and at Space City in Toulouse, France for the countdown to man’s first steps. Can’t join Snoopy? NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston and the Armstrong Museum in Wapakoneta will do public countdowns as well. And as part of their weeklong celebrations on the National Mall, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum will host “The Eagle Has Landed ,” a free late-night celebration with scavenger hunts, stargazing and a countdown. Some of the world’s famous art

galleries are also joining in the fun. Iconic and some rare drawings, paintings, films, astronomical instruments, photographs and even cameras that were flown in space will go on display. New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art will open five galleries bedecked with images of the moon dating from the dawn of photography in the 1830s. And the National Gallery of Art in Washington is putting together an exhibit celebrating a century of lunar photographs including the earliest lunar images by Warren de la Rue and Lewis M. Rutherford. “It’s just extraordinary how magical these photographs are,” said art historian and exhibit curator Diane Waggoner. For a history crash course, theaters and museums are bringing the Apollo 11 mission back to life. The new IMAX film “Apollo 11: First Steps” combines

never-before-seen footage and audio recordings. Starting on July 8, PBS will air its “Chasing the Moon ” documentary series. And the Hollywood film “First Man” is available to stream. The National Air and Space Museum will have Armstrong’s refurbished spacesuit out for the first time since 2003. It also put statues of his spacesuit in baseball stadiums around the country. A Smithsonian exhibit featuring the Apollo 11 command module that flew astronauts to the moon is now on display at Seattle’s Museum of Flight and travels to Cincinnati this fall. Beginning Monday, the public can visit NASA’s Apollo-era Mission Control in Houston that was recently restored to the way it looked 50 years ago. “I think it conveys a great history of what humans have been able to accomplish,” said Tracy Lamm of Space Center Houston.

Police: Disputes led to murder by car Driving a Chevrolet Impala, an Arlington man is accused of striking and killing a man on purpose. By Zachariah Bryan Herald Writer

EVERETT — Police are investigating if a series of escalating confrontations led up to a homicidal hit-and-run Friday night in Everett. An Arlington man, 22, was

driving a Chevrolet Impala shortly before 10:30 p.m. when he allegedly hit and killed a man standing in the road — apparently on purpose, according to police reports filed in court Monday. The pedestrian was transported to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, where he died from

his injuries. He was in his 30s. The identity of the victim, as well as the cause and manner of death, will be determined by the Snohomish County Medical Examiner’s Office. The two men encountered each other around 4 p.m. Friday. The older man was in his RV parked in the 1400 block of Poplar Street when he saw a silver Impala nearby. He reportedly confronted the three people

inside, suspecting they were using drugs. The suspect later told police he was with his cousin and a woman. He claimed the man pulled a gun on them and hit the side of the car with it, according to police. According to police, the younger man left, but returned later and threw a car jack at the man’s Honda Civic, hitting the driver’s side door. See DISPUTES, Page A5

Stanford appointed to vacancy in state Senate By Jerry Cornfield Herald Writer

BOTHELL — Derek Stanford got a new title in the Legislature Monday. And then Davina Duerr got his old ones. Stanford, a Democratic state representative from Bothell since 2011, was appointed to fill the 1st Legislative District’s vacant Senate seat during a joint meeting of the Snohomish and King county councils. The meeting was held in Bothell City Hall. He replaces Guy Palumbo of Maltby, who resigned in May midway through his first term serving the district, which includes most of Mountlake Terrace, all

of Brier and Bothell, and north Kirkland. Following his appointment, Stanford tendered his resignation from the House. That cleared the way for members of the two county councils to name Duerr, a Bothell City Councilwoman, to succeed Stanford in the House. Stanford and Duerr will serve in their new posts through the November 2020 election. “I’m looking forward to getting to work for the district with the new team,” Stanford said. Stanford, 48, a soft-spoken progressive, is a data science consultant. He holds a doctorate in statistics from the University of Washington. First elected in 2010, he has been

re-elected four times in a comfortable Democratic district. In the 2019 session, Stanford was chairman of the House Commerce and Gaming Committee and Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee. He also served on the Appropriations and the Consumer Protection and Business committees. He was the overwhelming preference of the district’s Democratic precinct officers. Hillary Moralez, chairwoman of the Snohomish County Democrats, and Linda Tosti-Lane, a long-time party activist, were the other two nominees of the party, and both endorsed his selection. The two county councils chose Stanford on a unanimous vote.

Democratic and Republican members praised his respectful style and willingness to meet with people from across the political spectrum. “I appreciate their confidence in me and will do my best to live up to it,” he said. Duerr also received the most votes of precinct officers but it took three rounds of balloting to get there. She and Moralez tied in the second tally. Then one person changed their allegiance to give Duerr the edge. Darshan Rauniyar was the party’s third nominee for the post. “I am thrilled,” Duerr said afterward. “I am really honored they See STANFORD, Page A5

be able to revisit and reassess restitution orders. “The conviction never goes away is really the problem,” he said. “One of the things I always hear about in regards to the court (is that) one of the goals is finality. This does not allow for finality.” He also said there could be more conversation about instances where a person with few means owes money to a large corporation. The dynamic is very different in cases involving two parties of similar economic levels, he said. Hendrickson started stealing software from Microsoft in 2001, not long after she was hired. She didn’t know what she was stealing. She just knew it was easy money, and that she needed money to feed her drug addiction. “Still to this day I don’t know anything about that type of product,” she said. “Unfortunately it was really expensive.” There were three others in on the scheme: Finn Contini, Robert Howdeshell and Alyson Clark. Contini, the ringleader, apparently kept Hendrickson in the dark. Hendrickson didn’t make any of the sales herself, and she didn’t talk to anyone else involved, according to court documents. She didn’t know the other two were part of the deal, even though she considered Clark a friend. As a group assistant, Hendrickson had access to a program called the Internal Product Ordering Service. It allowed her to request any Microsoft product she wanted, without cost. All she had to do to circumvent the security measures was input her email address in place of the supervisor’s. She wasn’t a brilliant computer hacker, she said. “The internal ordering system was so trusting, it was so easy to do what we were doing,” she said. The software would show up at addresses tied to Contini, who would then sell it to connections in Oregon and Maryland. Hendrickson was prolific when it came to ordering products, but she only saw a share of the sales. U.S. attorneys estimated that she received at least $250,000, according to the sentencing memorandum. The four co-workers sold nearly 9,000 products with an estimated retail value of $32.4 million. For Hendrickson, it was a lot of money. It mostly went toward drugs, designer clothes and a new vehicle, she said. But mostly drugs. The scheme unraveled in 2002.

— Christine Hendrickson

Hendrickson believes that the company was tipped off to their scheme when they were looking into another employee, in another department, carrying out a similar plot. She was called into an office, asked a few questions and was abruptly fired. She endured being escorted off the campus by corporate security, one of the most embarrassing moments in her life. The money she made didn’t last long after that. “I, unfortunately, with the lifestyle I was in, with all the drugs I was buying, I was surrounded by other drug addicts and all they wanted to do was steal from me,” she said. “I had not a single friend. … If I fell asleep in my house, they would take jewelry, cash — whatever they could find in my house, they would walk out with it.” She loaned a drug dealer $10,000, and paid $50,000 for bail for the girlfriend of another drug dealer. She never got any of it back. Someone stole her car and crashed it. Soon, she was homeless. And then, in November 2004, charges were filed. She was staying at a friend’s apartment at the time. “(My drug dealer) called and told me that I had been on the news,” she said. “I ran (to the grocery store) to see if I was in the newspaper like he said. And I was.” Detectives had little trouble tracking Hendrickson down. She was on public assistance, she said, and she put the address for her friend’s apartment down when she applied for food stamps. She wasn’t really trying to hide, she said. In September 2005, she was sentenced to five months in prison and probation for conspiracy to commit mail fraud. Incarceration, along with her participation in drug treatment programs, is what finally got her

sober, she said. She’s almost thankful for the time. The worst part is what came after, she said. Hendrickson admitted not getting along with her probation officer, who, in a blog post, she called a “self-guided missile, seeking to destroy everything I worked for.” Even though Hendrickson did well in classes at a Seattle vocational school and got a two-year scholarship, she said the probation officer didn’t allow her to pursue educational opportunities. Instead, it was stressed that getting a job was more important, so she could pay off the restitution. But career opportunities weren’t plentiful for a felon with a long employment gap and no higher education. Hendrickson doesn’t know how many times her application was thrown out because she had to divulge her criminal history. At the interview for her first job out of prison, Hendrickson recalled wearing pants in an attempt to hide the bulky home-monitoring bracelet wrapped around her leg. “It was definitely not the prettiest accessory I have worn,” she admitted. She was applying to be an administrative assistant for a fencing company in South Seattle. She figured she didn’t have a chance, but, somehow, they were understanding, she said. Then the probation officer, “like an angel of doom,” swooped in, she said. The probation officer had seen her at the office, handling a credit card, and told Hendrickson that she needed to tell her bosses in detail what her crime was. Hendrickson was mortified. Again, somehow, her employers were understanding, she said. She kept the job until she was eventually laid off. “It was three years of that,” Hendrickson said of her time in probation. Every move she made, every use of her money was scrutinized, at a time when she was learning how to be sober and stable again. Still, she made it through without a single violation. These days, Hendrickson lives in a condo, in her parents’ name, north of Bothell. There’s no art on her walls, nor is there furniture in her living room. Instead, decorating her home are certificates for community service from local organizations, a weight bench and dumbbells — substitutes for the drugs and symbols of recovery. Hendrickson said she is proud of who she is now. Through the years she’s scraped together jobs as a writer, first as a reporter for the Monroe Monitor, and now as a

content producer for the city of Kirkland. She volunteers for a local VFW chapter, too. Sometimes, reminders of her past leak into her new life. In March, Hendrickson opened her seldom-opened mailbox to find a monthold letter from Snohomish County Superior Court, threatening garnishment. She owed restitution for a different crime she committed during the same period when she worked at Microsoft. She was convicted of trying to cash a stolen check, according to court records. The arrest affidavit suggest that she owed a drug dealer money. She can hardly remember doing it. She was addicted to drugs at the time and was a “walking felony,” she said. Hendrickson can recall the sentencing hearing, though. The judge had seen the previous order to pay $7.4 million. She believes she remembers him giving a short laugh, saying something like “I’ve seen worse” and “This is not a free ride,” and then ordered her to pay more than $6,000 in restitution. With 12 percent interest, that number has only grown, pushing near $10,000. Her past haunted her once again. At first she said she was anxious. Then she got mad. She had worked so hard to become a better person, she said, and the letter felt like an admonishment. Hendrickson said she paid off the past due balance and is now keeping up with the monthly fees. She said she’s started making small payments toward her federal restitution, as well. In an essay posted on her blog, however, she wondered what the point was of being ordered to pay such a large amount. “I’ve heard from countless government officials that the overall goal is to remove us from the ‘system.’ To help addicts like me become contributing members of society,” she wrote. “If that truly is the goal, why make it so relentlessly impossible?” Zachariah Bryan: 425-339-3431; zbryan@heraldnet.com.

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon Gov. Kate Brown said Monday that she’s ready to use her executive power to lower carbon emissions following a nine-day Republican walkout that derailed landmark climate legislation and embroiled the state in a political crisis pitting liberal cities against rural residents. The Democratic governor said she wants to move forward through the executive branch if lawmakers can’t approve meaningful climate legislation. She directed her staff to go back to rural communities and industries over the next few months to find points of compromise on what would be the nation’s second statewide cap and trade program. Brown will present lawmakers with proposed “modifications” to the plan but is prepared to take the matter into her own hands if she still can’t find a path forward in the Statehouse. “Working on legislation is my preferred approach,” she told reporters. “However, given the uncertainty that now permeates Oregon’s political system, I am also directing my staff and agencies to explore alternative paths.” Two representatives for the Senate’s Republican

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown speaks with the media Monday at the Capitol in Salem. Brown said Monday that she’s ready to use her executive power to lower carbon emissions following a political crisis in which Republican state senators fled the state for more than a week to thwart climate legislation.

caucus didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment on the governor’s plans. The proposal caps climate-changing emissions and requires businesses to buy or trade an everdwindling pool of pollution credits or “allowances.” California has a similar program. The idea divided the Statehouse and revealed lingering tensions between liberal cities like Portland that want to combat climate change and rural areas of the

state where the legislation was seen as a further threat to industries like farming, logging and trucking. Senate Republicans walked out to block a vote on the measure and only came back after getting reassurances it was dead. They said the legislation would kill jobs, raise the cost of fuel and gut small businesses in rural areas. Loggers, truckers and others flooded the Capitol to support the Republicans who walked out. Democrats say the

legislation is critical to make Oregon a leader in the fight against climate change and will ultimately create jobs and transform the economy. They said the program would raise tens of millions of dollars that would go toward further emissionscutting projects and wildfire prevention efforts. Much of the funding also would flow directly to rural communities and Native American tribes to prepare for the worst effects of climate change, supporters say. “This is a priority,” said

Tera Hurst, executive director of Renew Oregon, the lobbying group behind the original legislation. “It is our moral imperative we do not delay another year. Climate change is an emergency.” Brown has a tough path forward if she wants to craft legislation that both responds to industry concerns and still puts Oregon on a path toward meeting its ambitious goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The original cap and trade proposal would have begun in 2021 and put the state on track to lower emissions to 45 percent below 1990 levels by 2035 and 80 percent below by 2050. Delaying the program could mean lawmakers will need to craft a more ambitious and aggressive program to meet the state’s emission goals. Brown said it would have been better for industries and other opponents to come to the table rather than “blow the whole thing up.” She said delaying the process further is like “cutting off your nose to spite your face.” “This program will have to be more aggressive,” the governor said. “Because the time pressures are still there and I’m committed to keeping those goals for our children and our children’s future.”

Pierce, King counties issue burn bans Associated Press SEATTLE — Temporary bans on outdoor fires due to dry weather have been announced for the unincorporated areas of two of the most populated counties in Washington state. The King County Fire Marshal issued a ban starting Monday for unincorporated areas that prohibits all outdoor burning except for recreational fires in approved devices. All burning permits are also suspended until further notice and no additional

The suspect drove off. He encountered the man again around 10:30 p.m., driving the Honda ahead of him in the 2200 block of 12th Street, according to court papers. The Honda stopped and parked sideways to block most of the road, according to the suspect’s account. The driver then reportedly got out of the car, holding what looked like a stick. The suspect told police he drove toward the man in an attempt to scare him. Instead, he allegedly hit him and knocked him down. The man’s head hit the pavement. The driver fled without checking to see if the man was OK, according to court papers. A witness told police that she saw the aftermath. She said she saw a woman screaming, trying to help someone on the ground.

have given me this opportunity.” Duerr, 48, a native of upstate New York, moved to this state in 1997 and to Bothell in 2001. She works part-time as an architect and has served on the City Council since 2015. While Stanford’s selection was expected, there was a degree of uncertainty regarding the House appointment. It began in the meeting’s public comment period where 12 people spoke, with some supporting Duerr and others backing Moralez. Rauniyar spoke too and asked the seven King County and five Snohomish County council members to keep an open mind. Later, when the council members took up the appointment, each nominee made a passionate case for the job. “I have a heart for service,” said Duerr, who described her strength as identifying problems and finding solutions. Moralez, 29, said she wanted to serve in the House to give greater voice to the community’s young people and women of color. “Representation matters at every level,” she said. “My main job in politics is to get young people to step up. I’m asking for my turn. I’m asking for my chance.” Rauniyar described his upbringing as an immigrant child who became a software engineer and successful businessman. He said the thousands of votes he received

At a recent session parked outside 24 Hour Fitness in Lynnwood about a dozen people took a dip, one at a time. This isn’t a communal plunge. Cost is $49 for newcomers and $35 for follow-ups. Lee doesn’t deal with any medical insurance. The process begins with a height and dry weight measurement, then a pep talk from Lee. “Blow fast. Squeeze hard. Because air you don’t get out shows up as fat,” he told Hayley Nuval, 25, as she floated in the tank. “Lower yourself slowly. You are not racing Michael Phelps in there. I want to see those veins popping out.” He had Nuval repeat the process several times, allowing long breaks in-between for air. People stay underwater for about seven seconds. There aren’t any buzzers or lights or bops on the head by Lee. After she toweled off, Lee gave Nuval a printout of her report card. Nuval took the plunge as a guide for powerlifting and bodybuilding meets. “It’s good information to know where exactly I am now so I can start setting realistic goals for where I want to be for my next two competitions,” Nuval said.

Duerr said she got more nervous. “I am not a big talker. Hillary is such a confident speaker,” Duerr said. King County Councilwoman Claudia Balducci ended up putting forth Duerr’s name after praising “an incredible slate of candidates.” “I think any of you can do this job,” she said, explaining she wanted to honor the choice of the legislative district Democrats. Nine of the 12 council members backed the choice. A disappointed Moralez thanked her supporters and lauded the process. “I’m glad they took the time and did some vetting and to really get to know us as candidates.” Stanford and Duerr were each sworn into office Monday. In the meantime, Duerr is continuing her bid for re-election to the Bothell City Council. She already had filed to run before Palumbo quit.

That’s what it seems like.” There are other ways to get the skinny on fat. Skin fold tests use calipers, a simple pinching device. Or you can sit inside a computerized, egg-shaped chamber such as the Bod Pod. Or get zapped by a machine with tiny electrical impulses that measure fat mass. Then there’s the proverbial BMI, body mass index, based on height and weight mathematics. Lee occasionally tests himself in the tank. “I’m not as lean as I was 13 years ago,” he said. “Let’s just say that I’m a work in progress.” Lee lives in Mukilteo with his wife, Laura Brent, who owns a land-use consulting firm. He was a Seattle Times union circulation worker for about 30 years and retired at a relatively young age with a pension. “I was coaching high school sports and selling real estate. I stumbled onto this,” he said. While channel surfing, he flipped on a reality show about a woman who had a Body Fat Test test. “I thought, ‘This is the coolest thing ever.’ I did a little Googling,” he said. He started in 2007 with a former Penske truck with a giant dunk tub. It’s the one that says “Get Tanked” on the side. He added a second truck a few years ago, this one with a smaller tub that is about 7.5-feet long and 3.5-feet wide, a perfect fit for one of his regulars. “The dude is huge, one of the biggest humans I’ve ever seen. He’s about 6-foot-8 and pushes 400 pounds,” Lee said. “I had him stand there and got a measure of the width of his shoulders because I’m never going to see a human bigger than him.” Andrea Brown: abrown@heraldnet.com; 425-339-3443.

permits will be issued in those areas. KING-TV reported that Pierce County officials say a burn ban also went into effect July 1 and will continue until further notice in unincorporated areas. The ban includes activities such as burning yard debris and setting fires to clear land. Small recreational fires including bonfires in fire pits, cooking on self-contained gas or propane stoves and barbecues are still permitted. Residents of cities within those counties should check with city officials to see if there are burn bans in those areas.

Police found the suspect around 4:30 a.m. Saturday, on a bicycle ride with a friend. A mask covered the lower half of his face. At first the friend allegedly lied to police, saying the suspect was at a park in another part of town. An officer reportedly recognized the suspect and booked him into the Snohomish County Jail for investigation of seconddegree murder, vehicular homicide and hit-and-run of a fatal crash. The man said he was addicted to methamphetamine and heroin, according to court papers. The friend was arrested for allegedly giving a misleading statement. He’d also told officers that he had been biking to the crash scene with the suspect, who wanted to return. Police recovered the damaged Impala outside the friend’s home in north Everett.

Playing soft and hard ball on nukes President Donald Trump smiles with North Korea, threatens Iran By Deb Riechmann and Matthew Lee Associated Press

WASHINGTON— With North Korea, President Donald Trump puts on the charm. But with Iran, he cranks up the pressure with economic sanctions and a stronger military presence in the Persian Gulf. He warned its leaders Monday they are “playing with fire.” Nuclear weapons are at the heart of the difficult U.S. relations with both Pyongyang and Tehran. But it’s in North Korea where Trump has more leeway — and perhaps a greater chance of striking a deal. Kim Jong Un has seemed as willing to meet with Trump as the U.S. president has been to talk and shake hands for the cameras with him. The North Korean leader jumped at the chance to meet Trump at the Demilitarized Zone between the Koreas last weekend. Trump has made repeated overtures to Iranian leaders, too, but without the same results. “I think Trump would be equally on a charm offensive with the Iranians if he had a dance partner,” said Mark Dubowitz, an Iran nuclear deal skeptic with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. Also, Israel, which views Iran as its archenemy, is pressuring Trump to take a hardline approach to Tehran, which has threatened to wipe Israel off the map. There is no big anti-North Korea lobby in the United States pressuring the White House to shun Kim’s repressive government. Trump inherited heavy U.S. sanctions on North Korea and then for months traded fiery rhetoric with Kim, saber rattling that caused jitters across the world. That has given way to flowery correspondence, meetings between the two and this weekend’s historic visit when Trump became the first U.S. president to step into North Korea while in office. Not that Pyongyang has taken big steps in return. Critics point out that North Korea has not moved to “denuclearize” as Trump has demanded. But the country has refrained from conducting nuclear tests or test-firing long-range missiles. Trump tweeted late Monday that “our teams will be meeting to work on some solutions to very long term and persistent problems. No rush, but I am sure we will ultimately get there. Not so smooth with Iran. Trump campaigned on pulling

the United States out of the nuclear agreement that Tehran signed with the U.S. and other world powers in 2015. He complained that the deal, which eased economic sanctions in exchange for Iran curbing its nuclear program, didn’t address Iranian ballistic missile capabilities or its support of militant groups. After failing to adjust what Trump condemned as a fatally flawed deal, the U.S. exited the agreement last year and re-imposed sanctions that had been eased when the deal was finalized under the Obama administration. The pressure campaign evolved not like the Trump-Kim lovefest, but to what seemed like the brink of war. With its economy diving, Iran lashed out by shooting down a $100 million, unmanned U.S. surveillance drone and attacking shipping vessels in the Persian Gulf region. Trump said he was “cocked and loaded” to retaliate with limited missile strikes but changed his mind when he learned 150 Iranians could have been killed. He tweeted last week, “Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force. In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration.” On Monday, Iran announced it now has a stockpile of more than 660 pounds of low-enriched uranium in violation of the 2015 deal. The U.S. is partly to blame because it failed to renew waivers that allowed Iran to swap its excess to other countries. But officials say the administration is less concerned about Monday’s breach than possible further violations that could

reduce the time Iran would need to produce a nuclear weapon. The deal aimed to keep that “breakout time” at one year. Iran’s deputy foreign minister has warned the White House that it’s naive to think Iran will wilt under pressure, or that the Iranian people will revolt and throw out its government. He said Iran will not be forced to negotiate by having a knife put to its throat. As for North Korea, administration officials caution that Trump’s charm offensive with Kim does not foreshadow a softening of its insistence that his country must not have nuclear weapons. The New York Times reported Monday that the administration might agree to a nuclear freeze as a first step toward denuclearization. Under that scenario, which was quickly disputed by U.S. officials, North Korea would not make any new nuclear material, meaning it couldn’t expand its arsenal of 20 to 60 nuclear weapons. Under such a deal, North Korea would remain a nuclear power and would still have short and long-term missiles that could threaten U.S. allies like Japan and South Korea as well as the United States. Stephen Biegun, U.S. special envoy to North Korea, said the report was “far from accurate.” “What is accurate is not new, and what is new is not accurate. No one on our team who knows anything would speak right now anyway,” he said in a statement distributed by the State Department. Trump’s hawkish national security adviser John Bolton, who has advocated a tough stance against both North Korea and Iran, also said the administration was not considering a softer approach.

However, Richard Haas, president of the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, said the fact that Bolton was in Mongolia when Trump met Kim at the DMZ suggested there is a “significant split” within the Trump administration. Democrats have been quick to criticize Trump for his strategy with both Iran and North Korea. “After three made-for-TV summits, we still don’t have a single concrete commitment from North Korea,” said former Vice President Joe Biden, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. “Not one missile or nuclear weapon has been destroyed, not one inspector is on the ground. … North Korea has continued to churn out fissile material and is no longer an isolated pariah on the world stage.” On Iran, Biden said Trump walked away from a deal that was temporarily keeping it from developing a first nuclear bomb and applied economic pressure that has led Tehran to restart its nuclear program and become more, not less aggressive. “Trump’s Iran policy has alienated us from our allies and taken us to the brink of another war in the Middle East,” he said. In its first year, the administration tried to work with Europeans allies to mend what Trump identified as flaws in the nuclear deal, such as its silence on ballistic missiles and Iran’s support for destabilizing proxies around the Middle East. The effort to create a separate agreement without Iran’s participation ultimately failed. Michael McFaul, a U.S. ambassador to Russia under President Barack Obama, says that while Trump has said he’s open to talks with Iran, he sees little evidence that’s the case. He wonders whether complete and verifiable denuclearization is not the goal in Iran or North Korea. “In Iran, it may be that the real objective is regime change, including the option of U.S. military action,” he says. “In North Korea, it could be that the goal is not complete denuclearization, but an outcome that allows Kim to maintain part of his nuclear arsenal while perhaps dismantling his intercontinental ballistic missile program to reduce the direct threat to U.S. national security. “This lesser goal could help to explain why Trump is so oddly accommodating toward North Korea.”

Wealth gap widens during record-long growth By Christopher Rugaber Associated Press

WASHINGTON — As it enters its 11th year, America’s economic expansion is now the longest on record — a streak that has shrunk unemployment, swelled household wealth, revived the housing market and helped fuel an explosive rise in the stock market. Yet even after a full decade of uninterrupted economic growth, the richest Americans now hold a greater share of the nation’s wealth than they did before the Great Recession began in 2007. And income growth has been sluggish by historical standards, leaving many Americans feeling stuck in place. Those trends help explain something unique about this expansion: It’s easily the least-celebrated economic recovery in decades. As public discontent has grown, the issue has become one for political candidates to harness — beginning with Donald Trump in 2016. Now, some of the Democrats running to challenge Trump for the presidency have built their campaigns around proposals to tax wealth, raise minimum wages or ease the financial strain of medical care and higher education. America’s financial disparities have widened in large part because the means by which people build wealth have become more exclusive since the Great Recession. Fewer middle-class Americans

own homes. Fewer are invested in the stock market. And home prices have risen far more in wealthier metro areas on the coasts than in more modestly priced cities and rural areas. The result is that affluent homeowners now sit on vast sums of home equity and capital gains, while tens of millions of ordinary households have been left mainly on the sidelines. “The recovery has been very disappointing from the standpoint of inequality,” said Gabriel Zucman, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, and a leading expert on income and wealth distribution. Household wealth — the value of homes, stock portfolios and bank accounts, minus mortgage and credit card debt and other loans — jumped 80% in the past decade. More than one-third of that gain — $16.2 trillion in riches— went to the wealthiest 1%, figures from the Federal Reserve show. Just 25% of it went to middleto-upper-middle class households. The bottom half of the population gained less than 2%. Nearly 8 million Americans lost homes in the recession and its aftermath, and the sharp price gains since then have put ownership out of reach for many would-be buyers. For America’s middle class, the homeownership rate fell to about 60% in 2016 from roughly 70% in 2004, before the housing bubble, according to separate Fed data. The other major engine of

household wealth — the stock market — hasn’t much benefited most people, either. The longest bull market in U.S. history, which surpassed its own 10-year mark in March, has shot equity prices up more than four-fold. Yet the proportion of middle-income households that own shares has actually declined. The Fed calculates that about half of middle-income Americans owned shares in 2016, the most recent year for which data is available, down from 56% in 2007. That includes people who hold stocks in retirement accounts. The decline in stock market participation occurred mainly because more middle-income workers took contract work or other jobs that offered no retirement savings plans, the Fed concluded. Hannah Moore, now 37, has struggled to save since graduating from college in December 2007, the same month the Great Recession officially began. She has worked nearly continuously since then despite a couple of layoffs. “I had many jobs, all at the same time,” she said. “It’s just not been the easiest of decades if you’re trying to jump-start a career.” She works for a design firm in Los Angeles that contracts with luxury apartment developers that build rental housing marketed to high-tech employees. She loves the work. But she struggles with Los Angeles’ high costs.

Moore says she could afford a monthly mortgage payment. But she lacks the savings for a down payment. About half her income, she calculates, is eaten up by rent, health insurance and student loan payments of $850 a month. As financial inequalities have widened over the past decade, racial disparities in wealth have worsened, too. The typical wealth for a white household is $171,000 — nearly 10 times that for AfricanAmericans. That’s up from seven times before the housing bubble, and it primarily reflects sharp losses in housing wealth for blacks. The African-American homeownership rate fell to a record low in the first three months of this year. Most economists argue that higher income growth is needed to make it easier for more Americans to save and build wealth. Zucman favors a higher minimum wage, cheaper access to college education and more family-friendly policies to enable more parents to work. He and his colleague Emmanuel Saez, also an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, helped formulate Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s proposed wealth tax on fortunes above $50 million to help pay for those proposals. Income growth has lagged partly because for most of the expansion, employers have had a surfeit of workers to choose among when filling jobs, leaving them little pressure to raise pay.

Administration mulls ‘Parole in Place’ changes WASHINGTON— The Trump administration is considering changes to immigration policies that had previously protected the spouse and dependents of military service members from deportation, a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services official confirmed Monday. “Parole in Place” is an immigration policy implemented at the height of the Iraq War to help deployed soldiers not worry that their undocumented family members would be deported while they were overseas. It is one of several immigration options made available to the military in recognition of “the important sacrifices made by U.S. armed forces members, veterans, enlistees and their families. To support these individuals, we provide discretionary options such as parole in place or deferred action on a case-by-case basis,” the agency says on a web page for service members.

DNA from 1992 links suspect to rapes SACRAMENTO, Calif.— California prosecutors used an unusual tactic to identify a suspect for three rapes committed more than 25 years ago. Investigators tucked away rape kit samples from the attacks between 1992 and 1994 in the Sacramento and Davis areas. Sacramento County prosecutors never identified a suspect at the time but filed charges against the anonymous snippet of DNA code in 2000, just two days before the statute of limitations was to run out. They announced Monday that they finally linked the “John Doe DNA” to a person: Mark Manteuffel, 59. He was arrested Friday in Decatur, Georgia. Manteuffel was linked through family DNA, similar to the way charges were brought against the so-called Golden State Killer last year. It was unclear if he had an attorney.

AROUND THE WORLD Taliban bombing kills six, injures scores KABUL, Afghanistan — The Taliban set off a powerful bomb in downtown Kabul on Monday, killing at least six people and wounding more than a hundred, and sending a cloud of smoke billowing over the Afghan capital. At least 26 children were among the wounded, many of whom were cut by shards of glass when the bomb shattered nearby windows, government spokesman Feroz Bashari said. He said a total of 105 people were hurt. An education ministry spokeswoman, Nooria Nazhat, later raised the number of students who were slightly wounded to 51, from two schools.

Turkey stockpiles weapons parts, anticipates sanctions ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey, girding for the worst despite encouraging messages from President Donald Trump, has stockpiled crucial spare parts for American-made weapons in case Congress sanctions it over a contentious Russian missile purchase. It’s unclear when the stockpiling decision was first taken, but Turkish officials say the preparations were made in anticipation of possible U.S. embargoes. The U.S. has been threatening sanctions against Turkey since 2018, after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan decided to buy the Russian S-400 missile-defense system, a competitor to American-made Patriots.

Poorly paid temps wrote software code for Boeing Software for the troubled 737 Max was outsourced to an Indian company that paid as little as $9 an hour, former Boeing engineers say. The company says it did not rely on the contractors for software linked to two fatal crashes. Bloomberg

BUSINESS BRIEFLY Construction spending falls 0.8% in May DAVID RYDER / BLOOMBERG

A 737 Max 8 plane destined for China Southern Airlines sits at the Boeing manufacturing facility in Renton.

2016: “Provided quick workaround to resolve production issue which resulted in not delaying flight test of 737-Max (delay in each flight test will cost very big amount for Boeing).” Boeing said the company did not rely on engineers from HCL and Cyient for the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, which has been linked to the Lion Air crash last October and the Ethiopian Airlines disaster in March. The Chicago-based planemaker also said it didn’t rely on either firm for another software issue disclosed after the crashes: a cockpit warning light that wasn’t working for most buyers. “Boeing has many decades of experience working with supplier/ partners around the world,” a company spokesman said. “Our primary focus is on always ensuring that our products and services are safe, of the highest quality and comply with all applicable regulations.” In a statement, HCL said it “has a strong and long-standing business relationship with The Boeing Company, and we take pride in the work we do for all our customers. However, HCL does not comment on specific work we do for our customers. HCL is not associated with any ongoing issues with 737 Max.” Recent simulator tests by the

Federal Aviation Administration suggest the software issues on Boeing’s best-selling model run deeper. The company’s shares fell this week after the regulator found a further problem with a computer chip that experienced a lag in emergency response when it was overwhelmed with data. Engineers who worked on the Max, which Boeing began developing eight years ago to match a rival Airbus plane, have complained of pressure from managers to limit changes that might introduce extra time or cost. “Boeing was doing all kinds of things, everything you can imagine, to reduce cost, including moving work from Puget Sound, because we’d become very expensive here,” said Rick Ludtke, a former Boeing flight controls engineer laid off in 2017. “All that’s very understandable if you think of it from a business perspective. Slowly over time it appears that’s eroded the ability for Puget Sound designers to design.” Rabin, the former software engineer, recalled one manager saying at an all-hands meeting that Boeing didn’t need senior engineers because its products were mature. “I was shocked that in a room full of a couple hundred mostly senior engineers we were being told that we weren’t needed,” said Rabin, who was laid off in

2015. The typical jetliner has millions of parts — and millions of lines of code — and Boeing has long turned over large portions of the work to suppliers who follow its detailed design blueprints. Starting with the 787 Dreamliner, launched in 2004, it sought to increase profits by instead providing high-level specifications and then asking suppliers to design more parts themselves. The thinking was “they’re the experts, you see, and they will take care of all of this stuff for us,” said Frank McCormick, a former Boeing flight-controls software engineer who later worked as a consultant to regulators and manufacturers. “This was just nonsense.” Sales are another reason to send the work overseas. In exchange for an $11 billion order in 2005 from Air India, Boeing promised to invest $1.7 billion in Indian companies. That was a boon for HCL and other software developers from India, such as Cyient, whose engineers were widely used in computer-services industries but not yet prominent in aerospace. Rockwell Collins, which makes cockpit electronics, had been among the first aerospace companies to source significant work in India in 2000, when HCL began See BOEING, Page A8

Trump moves to ease drive-time rules for truckers Safety advocates warn the contemplated changes would result in more truck driver fatigue. By Richard Lardner Associated Press

OPAL, Va. — Truck driver Lucson Francois was forced to hit the brakes just five minutes from his home in Pennsylvania. He’d reached the maximum number of hours in a day he’s allowed to be on duty. Francois couldn’t leave the truck unattended. So he parked and climbed into the sleeper berth in the back of the cab. Ten hours would have to pass before he could start driving again. “You don’t want even a oneminute violation,” said Francois, a 39-year-old Haitian immigrant, recalling his dilemma during a break at a truck stop in this small crossroads town southwest of Washington. The Transportation Department is moving to relax the federal regulations that required Francois to pull over, a long sought goal of the trucking industry and a move that would highlight its influence with the Trump administration. Interest groups that represent motor carriers and truck drivers have lobbied for revisions they say would make the rigid “hours of service” rules more flexible. But highway safety advocates are warning the contemplated changes

Joseph A. Gogal, of Edward Jones in Everett, has won the firm’s Jack Phelan Award for exceptional achievement in building client relationships. The designated accredited asset management specialist is a resident of Mill Creek and has been an Edward Jones financial adviser since 2008. His office is located at 8115 Broadway, Ste. 201, Everett. The Snohomish County Chapter of the American Red Cross has named three new board members. Rob Muszkiewicz of Boeing is the new board chair. Molly Ringo of the Everett School District is the first vice chair. Gloria Hirashima of the City of Marysville is the second vice chair. They assumed their roles for one year beginning July 1.

By Peter Robison It remains the mystery at the heart of Boeing Co.’s 737 Max crisis: how a company renowned for meticulous design made seemingly basic software mistakes leading to a pair of deadly crashes. Longtime Boeing engineers say the effort was complicated by a push to outsource work to lower-paid contractors. The Max software — plagued by issues that could keep the planes grounded months longer after U.S. regulators this week revealed a new flaw — was developed at a time Boeing was laying off experienced engineers and pressing suppliers to cut costs. Increasingly, the iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace — notably India. In offices across from Seattle’s Boeing Field, recent college graduates employed by the Indian software developer HCL Technologies occupied several rows of desks, said Mark Rabin, a former Boeing software engineer who worked in a flight-test group that supported the Max. The coders from HCL were typically designing to specifications set by Boeing. Still, “it was controversial because it was far less efficient than Boeing engineers just writing the code,” Rabin said. Frequently, he recalled, “it took many rounds going back and forth because the code was not done correctly.” Boeing’s cultivation of Indian companies appeared to pay other dividends. In recent years, it has won several orders for Indian military and commercial aircraft, such as a $22 billion one in January 2017 to supply SpiceJet Ltd. That order included 100 737-Max 8 jets and represented Boeing’s largest order ever from an Indian airline, a coup in a country dominated by Airbus. Based on resumes posted on social media, HCL engineers helped develop and test the Max’s flight-display software, while employees from another Indian company, Cyient Ltd., handled software for flight-test equipment. In one post, an HCL employee summarized his duties with a reference to the now-infamous model, which started flight tests in January

would dangerously weaken the regulations, resulting in truckers putting in even longer days at a time when they say driver fatigue is such a serious problem. They point to new government data that shows fatal crashes involving trucks weighing as much as 80,000 pounds have increased. “I think flexibility is a code word for deregulation,” said Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, an alliance of insurance companies and consumer, public health and safety groups. She said the hours of service requirements, which permit truckers to drive up to 11 hours each day, are already “exceedingly liberal in our estimation.” There were 4,657 large trucks involved in fatal crashes in 2017, a 10% increase from the year before, according to a May report issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, an agency of the Transportation Department. Sixty of the truckers in these accidents were identified as “asleep or fatigued,” although the National Transportation Safety Board has said this type of driver impairment is likely underreported on police crash forms. The NTSB has declared fatigue a “pervasive problem” in all forms of transportation and added reducing

Spending on U.S. construction projects fell in May, the first drop in six months, as home building fell for a fifth straight month. The Commerce Department says spending fell 0.8% in May, the first decline since a 1.3% drop in November, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.29 trillion.

Manufacturing growth slows for 3rd straight month U.S. factory activity grew at a slower pace in June for the third straight month as measures of new orders and inventories fell. The Institute for Supply Management, an association of purchasing managers, says that its manufacturing index slipped to 51.7 last month from 52.1 in May.

OPEC weighs more output cuts amid slackening demand VIENNA — OPEC is extending its deal to cut production for another nine months in a bid to keep oil prices from sagging as the oil cartel faces a weakening outlook for demand. The decision among the members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries at a meeting Monday at OPEC’s headquarters in Vienna was widely expected. The cuts are aimed to put upward pressure on the price of oil and reduce oversupply.

A groundbreaking study by the Transportation Department more than a decade ago reported 13% of truck drivers involved in crashes that resulted in fatalities or injuries were fatigued at the time of the accidents. The trucking industry has developed a strong relationship with President Donald Trump, who has made rolling back layers of regulatory oversight a top priority. At least a dozen transportation safety rules

under development or already adopted were repealed, withdrawn, delayed or put on the back burner during Trump’s first year in office. “First of all, this administration is not as aggressive as the prior,” said Bill Sullivan, the top lobbyist for the powerful American Trucking Associations, whose members include the nation’s largest motor carriers and truck manufacturing companies. “Most importantly, the partnership with them has not been See TRUCKS, Page A8

testing software there for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa-based company. By 2010, HCL employed more than 400 people at design, development and verification centers for Rockwell Collins in Chennai and Bangalore. That same year, Boeing opened what it called a “center of excellence” with HCL in Chennai, saying the companies would partner “to create software critical for flight test.” In 2011, Boeing named Cyient, then known as Infotech, to a list of its “suppliers of the year” for design, stress analysis and software engineering on the 787 and the 747-8 at another center in Hyderabad. The Boeing rival also relies in part on offshore engineers. In addition to supporting sales, the planemakers say global design teams add efficiency as they work around the clock. But outsourcing has long been a sore point for some Boeing engineers, who, in addition to fearing job losses say it has led to communications issues and mistakes. Boeing has also expanded a design center in Moscow. At a

as suspicious of industry as in the past.” Trucking interests had pressed the administration and Congress for the rule changes and last year secured support from 30 senators, mostly Republicans. The lawmakers wrote in a May 2018 letter to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration chief Ray Martinez that the rules “do not provide the appropriate level of flexibility” and asked him to explore improvements. Independent truckers in particular have chafed at what they see as a one-size-fits-all directive written by Washington bureaucrats who don’t understand what they face on the highways. “How can you judge me and what I do by sitting in a cubicle in an office?” said Terry Button, a burly hay farmer from upstate New York who owns his truck.

meeting with a chief 787 engineer in 2008, one staffer complained about sending drawings back to a team in Russia 18 times before they understood that the smoke detectors needed to be connected to the electrical system, said Cynthia Cole, a former Boeing engineer who headed the engineers’ union from 2006 to 2010. “Engineering started becoming a commodity,” said Vance Hilderman, who co-founded a company called TekSci that supplied aerospace contract engineers and began losing work to overseas competitors in the early 2000s. U.S.-based avionics companies in particular moved aggressively, shifting more than 30% of their software engineering offshore versus 10% for European-based firms in recent years, said Hilderman, an avionics safety consultant with three decades of experience whose recent clients include most of the major Boeing suppliers. With a strong dollar, a big part of the attraction was price. Engineers in India made around $5 an hour; it’s now $9 or $10, compared with $35 to $40 for those in the U.S. on an H1B visa, he said. But he’d tell clients the cheaper hourly wage equated to more like $80 because of the need for supervision, and he said his firm won back some

business to fix mistakes. HCL, once known as Hindustan Computers, was founded in 1976 by billionaire Shiv Nadar and now has more than $8.6 billion in annual sales. With 18,000 employees in the U.S. and 15,000 in Europe, HCL is a global company and has deep expertise in computing, said Sukamal Banerjee, a vice president. It has won business from Boeing on that basis, not on price, he said: “We came from a strong R&D background.” Still, for the 787, HCL gave Boeing a remarkable price — free, according to Sam Swaro, an associate vice president who pitched HCL’s services at a San Diego conference sponsored by Avionics International magazine in June. He said the company took no up-front payments on the 787 and only started collecting payments based on sales years later, an “innovative business model” he offered to extend to others in the industry. The 787 entered service three years late and billions of dollars over budget in 2011, in part because of confusion introduced by the outsourcing strategy. Under Dennis Muilenburg, a longtime Boeing engineer who became chief executive in 2015, the company has said that it planned

to bring more work back in-house for its newest planes. The Max became Boeing’s top seller soon after it was offered in 2011. But for ambitious engineers, it was something of a “backwater,” said Peter Lemme, who designed the 767’s automated flight controls and is now a consultant. The Max was an update of a 50-year-old design, and the changes needed to be limited enough that Boeing could produce the new planes like cookie cutters, with few changes for either the assembly line or airlines. “As an engineer, that’s not the greatest job,” he said. Rockwell Collins, now a unit of United Technologies Corp., won the Max contract for cockpit displays, and it has relied in part on HCL engineers in India, Iowa and the Seattle area. A United Technologies spokeswoman didn’t respond to a request for comment. Contract engineers from Cyient helped test flight test equipment. Charles LoveJoy, a former flight-test instrumentation design engineer at the company, said engineers in the U.S. would review drawings done overnight in India every morning at 7:30 a.m. “We did have our challenges with the India team,” he said. “They met the requirements, per se, but you

could do it better.” Multiple investigations — including a Justice Department criminal probe — are trying to unravel how and when critical decisions were made about the Max’s software. During the crashes of Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines planes that killed 346 people, investigators suspect, the MCAS system pushed the planes into uncontrollable dives because of bad data from a single sensor. That design violated basic principles of redundancy for generations of Boeing engineers, and the company apparently never tested to see how the software would respond, Lemme said. “It was a stunning fail,” he said. “A lot of people should have thought of this problem — not one person — and asked about it.” Boeing also has disclosed that it learned soon after Max deliveries began in 2017 that a warning light that might have alerted crews to the issue with the sensor wasn’t installed correctly in the flight-display software. A Boeing statement in May, explaining why the company didn’t inform regulators at the time, said engineers had determined it wasn’t a safety issue. “Senior company leadership,” the statement added, “was not involved in the review.”

Button estimates he’s logged about 4 million miles since he started driving a truck in 1976. He said he’s never caused an accident, although he’s been hit twice by passenger vehicles. The regulations have existed since the 1930s and are enforced by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The proposed revisions are being reviewed by the White House’s Office of Management and Budget and have not yet been released, according to a spokesman for the motor carrier safety office. The regulations limit long-haul truckers to 11 hours of driving time within a 14-hour on-duty window. They must have had 10 consecutive hours off duty before the on-duty clock starts anew. And a driver who is going to be driving for more than eight hours must take a 30-minute break before hitting the eight-hour mark. Breaking the rules can be costly. A trucker might be declared “out of service” for a day or longer for going beyond the time limits. Many

are paid by the mile, so if they’re not driving they’re not making money. Francois, who was hauling 45,000 pounds of drinking water to a Walmart warehouse in Woodland, Pennsylvania, said he gets 50 cents a mile and earns, after taxes, around $900 a week. Off-duty and on-duty time for most truckers is recorded automatically and precisely by electronic logging devices, or ELDs. Responding to a congressional directive, the Obama administration set in motion the mandated use of ELDs as of December 2017 — a regulatory requirement that Trump has not overturned. Paper logs could be fudged pretty easily, but not the ELD, which is wired to the truck’s engine and has a display screen visible to the driver. Chase’s organization says an accurate accounting of a trucker’s hours is one of the most effective ways to help prevent drowsy driving. But for many truckers, the logging devices have only highlighted the inflexibility and complexity of the regulations.

“If you run out of time in the middle of the George Washington Bridge, are you just going to pull over and park?” said Button, referring to the world’s busiest span connecting New Jersey and New York. The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, which represents small business truckers like Button, said the schedule dictated by the rules is out of step with the daily realties confronting most of their members. Heavy traffic, foul weather and long waits for cargo to be loaded or unloaded keep them idle. All the while, the 14-hour clock keeps on ticking, pushing them to go faster to make up lost time. Especially vexing is the mandatory break requirement, according to organization president, Todd Spencer. The pause forces drivers to pull over when they don’t really need to rest, he said. And parking for a big rig is often hard to find and they may end up stopping in unsafe places, such as highway shoulders.

Spencer’s organization, which says it has more than 160,000 members, has been pushing for the 30-minute break to be eliminated. In comments filed with the Transportation Department, the group recommended that truckers instead be allowed to effectively stop the 14-hour clock for up to three consecutive hours. During this off-duty period, drivers could rest or simply wait out heavy traffic. “This is not rocket science stuff,” Spencer said. “Rest when it makes sense to rest. Drive when it makes sense to drive.” But critics of the stop-the-clock idea said that would result in a 17-hour work window, heightening the risk of drowsy driving and accidents. There’s no guarantee a trucker can or will sleep during that three-hour stop and a number of them would be driving at the end of a long period of being awake, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a professional society of doctors and scientists.

IN OUR VIEW | Robocalls and phone scams

Good calls to fight robocalls Recent actions should help, but there are steps you can take to limit your exposure to scams. If you’ve noticed an increase recently in … (phone ringing) Do you want to check and see who that is? We’ll wait. No problem. Robocall? Did you answer? You let it go to voice mail? Good call. As we were saying, if you’ve noticed an increase recently in robocalls — those automated calls to your cellphone or landline with come-ons to lower your credit card debt or ploys to wheedle your Social Security number and other information from you — you’re hardly alone. An estimated 4.7 billion robocalls were made to cellphones and other mobile devices this May alone, according to YouMail, a service that offers a free phone app that can block such calls. That figure was more than double the number of robocalls from the same period two years ago. Those calls have resulted in about 10,000 complaints each day to the Federal Trade Commission, The Washington Post recently reported. Other figures show the

robocalls, mostly dubious sales calls and scams, have grown from 29 billion in 2016 to more than 48 billion in 2018, while about 1 in 10 adults have been defrauded by a scam that started with a robocall. Of the nearly 3 million fraud complaints that the FTC’s Consumer Sentinel Network collected last year, nearly 7 in 10 where initiated over the phone, resulting in a total loss of $429 million to consumers. One surprise in the Sentinel data book, younger people reported losing money to fraud more often that older people; 43 percent of the reports were from those between 20 and 29, compared to 15 percent of those 70 to 79. But older Americans reported greater median losses, $750 for those in their 70s and $1,700 for those 80 and older. Federal agencies and members of Congress must be getting the same calls, too, because both have announced recent action that should help people block those calls and avoid annoyances at the least and financially damaging scams at the worst. The Federal Communications Commission announced a ruling last month that will allow phone companies to block robocalls to your number without your having to request

it. Previously, you could ask your provider to block robocalls, but you had to request it. However, the FCC made no requirement that carriers offer the service for free. Companies, according to a National Public Radio report, are expected to ramp up its blocking over time, starting with the worst offenders. At the same time, Congress has moved forward on separate bills meant to help block robocalls. The Senate has already passed its bill, and the House recently advanced stronger legislation, the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act, that would require phone carriers to offer screening that would identify and block spam and robocalls, and offer the service without charge. Both of the region’s House members, Reps. Suzan DelBene, D-1st District, and Rick Larsen, D-2nd District, have signed on as sponsors to the bill. In the meantime, there are steps consumers can take, recommendations from state and federal agencies and consumer groups, including the AARP: ■ Register your phone number with the National Do Not Call list at www.donotcall. gov/ or by calling 800-382-1222. You’ll need an email address to

register. If you receive an automated call after registering, you can go to the same website to report it to the FTC. ■ Use a blocking app, such as YouMail. ■ When you get a call from a number you don’t recognize, let it go to voice mail. ■ Be aware that many robocalls spoof numbers to make the calls look like they’re coming from a local phone number. ■ Verify callers. If a caller claims to be from the Social Security office, a bank or other authority, hang up and look up the agency or company’s number and ask if they tried to contact you. ■ Don’t press keys or say anything to a recorded call or follow prompts to a live operator. Responding could lead the spammer — who dial numbers at random — to try your number again. ■ If you talk with telemarketer, don’t be pressured into an immediate sale; ask for time to consider the offer or ask for information to be mailed to you. Finally, if you fall victim to a scam, don’t be embarrassed; take action and report it to the Washington state Attorney General’s office at www.atg. wa.gov/file-complaint or the National Consumer League.

Credit Trump for re-engaging Kim Caution is warranted, but that shouldn’t diminsh the significance of Trump’s visit to the Korean DMZ.

n dealing with North Korea’s Chairman Kim Jong Un, President Trump should remember that he is a snake handler, not a snake charmer. (The same advice applies to Kim, but we’ll leave that to pundits in Pyongyang.) The baseline: Kim is a modernizing autocrat who believes his survival will be enhanced by the economic development he wants, in addition to the nuclear weapons he has. If he has decided to resume negotiations, it’s to remove sanctions, put his economy in overdrive and, maybe, keep some of his nuclear arsenal. It’s not because he has a “great relationship” with Trump, as the president’s comments have suggested, but because he’s a rational, if cocky, dictator. This caution doesn’t diminish the importance of what Trump achieved Sunday in stage-managing his realitydiplomacy show at the Korean Demilitarized Zone. This was a high-risk photo opportunity, but when Trump became the first U.S. president to step into North Korea, he reopened a path to denuclearization and normalization of relations. Trump’s many bad qualities shouldn’t blind us to this good achievement. He successfully played a hunch that Kim wanted to resume talks. The fact that this achievement comes wrapped in Trump’s gaudy, dictator-friendly bunting doesn’t diminish its value. The question is whether this is a real turn toward peace and stability in Asia, as opposed to a survival gambit for Kim and a reelection campaign stunt for Trump. “The idea of a Trump meeting with Kim in the DMZ has been kicking around for some time,” noted Robert Carlin, a longtime CIA analyst on North Korea, in an email message Sunday. Carlin had feared that it was “a diving catch, a Hail Mary pass, betting the farm,” but Trump made the gamble work. What were the precursors of this reopening? First, Kim apparently concluded he had erred at the Hanoi summit in

DAVID IGNATIUS February in expecting that he could get sanctions relief without making any real concessions on denuclearization. He began walking back this mistake in May, “signaling the window was again open for engaging the U.S.,” said Carlin, a careful reader of the North Korean press. A clear public sign that Kim wanted to play ball again came in a June 4 Foreign Ministry statement reaffirming North Korea’s “will to cherish and implement in good faith” the denuclearization pledge Kim made at the Singapore summit in June 2018. The statement urged that “both sides give up their unilateral demands and find a constructive solution.” A shadow play commenced: Kim sent Trump what the president called a “beautiful letter” last month, and Trump responded in kind. Stephen Biegun, the State Department’s special representative for North Korea, said June 19 at the Atlantic Council that the “door is wide open” for renewed negotiations and that the only big obstacle was the

lack of an “agreed definition of what denuclearization is.” The State Department quietly announced June 24 that Biegun was traveling to Seoul. And then, on Saturday, came Trump’s seemingly offthe-wall tweet: “If Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/ DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!” A day later, they were shaking hands and Trump was walking across the border. Here’s what to watch carefully in the weeks ahead. Since this diplomatic dance began, the question has been what specific, verifiable steps North Korea will take toward the declared goal of denuclearization. Kim tried to sidestep that in Hanoi by offering to dismantle one big nuclear facility at Yongbyon, which Trump rightly rejected because the U.S. knows there are other facilities outside the boundary of this compound. Are those other facilities now on the table? Is the U.S. willing to consider a transitional “freeze” of Pyongyang’s activities? We’ll see. Trump, wisely, seems to have accepted that denuclearization won’t be an immediate disarmament but a gradual, monitored process. He said Sunday that “speed is not the object. … We want to see if we can do a really comprehensive, good deal.” That’s the right goal.

The personal factor in diplomacy is ephemeral but real. China may have been ready for an opening to America in 1972, but it took President Richard Nixon to go to Beijing. Egypt may have been primed for peace with Israel in 1978, but it took President Jimmy Carter to negotiate the Camp David Accords with Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin. Kim and Trump make an unattractive pair, in many respects. But if for their own reasons they’re ready to begin a serious denuclearization discussion, so much the better.

Trump foes in GOP will have choice to make

ever-Trump Republicans and independents may be shocked to hear this, but the Democratic Party is likely to nominate a Democrat for president. That means they’re not going to nominate someone who thinks exactly like a Never-Trump Republican. Break out the smelling salts. I think several refugees from the GOP, pontificating on Twitter and the nation’s leading op-ed pages, just fainted dead away. I have had it with the chorus of centerright voices braying that the Democrats are heading for certain doom — and the nation for four more years of PresEUGENE ROBINSON ident Trump — if the party picks a nominee who actually embraces the party’s ideals. Elections are choices. These Never Trumpers will have to make one. Anyone who watched last week’s two-night candidates debate should be confident that the eventual Democratic nominee is virtually certain to support universal health care, comprehensive and compassionate immigration reform, reasonable gun control, measures to address climate change and bold steps to address income inequality. No, this is not a Republican agenda. Outcasts from the GOP will have to decide whether to accept it, in the interest of ending our long national nightmare, or reject it and stick with a president who kowtows to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. But don’t blame Democrats for supposedly driving moderate voters into the arms of Trump. For one thing, if Never-Trump Republicans were such brilliant political analysts, they’d never have lost control of their party to Trump in the first place. For another, polls show that the Democratic agenda has broad public support. Yes, Trump is going to yell “socialism.” But Democrats could nominate the ghost of Ronald Reagan and Trump would still try his best to paint the apparition red. That’s his only play, whether the nominee is comfy-slipper Joe Biden, firebrand Bernie Sanders or any of the others in between. It should surprise no one that the rhetoric in the debate was aimed at the Democratic base because, duh, that’s who decides the outcome of Democratic primaries. Nor should anyone be surprised when the eventual nominee tacks toward the center for the general election. Which brings me to another reason those demanding a super-cautious, mealymouthed Democratic nominee should spend some time in silent reflection. I believe Trump’s improbable election was possible because the nation is undergoing a political realignment in which the traditional left-to-right spectrum is shifting in ways not yet fully understood. I don’t claim to have accurately charted the new landscape, but I seriously doubt that aiming for the center point of the old, obsolete spectrum will get you anywhere. It is true that the Democrats who won House seats in Trump-leaning districts last fall emphasized some elements of the party’s program and deemphasized others. I assume they’ll do the same thing when they seek reelection in 2020. But it is also true that Hillary Clinton would be president today if the Democratic base had turned out in bigger numbers in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. And, for the record, she did win the popular tally by nearly 3 million votes. It’s a given Trump’s hard-core base will show up to vote. The Democratic base had better be at least equally motivated, especially in blue bastions like Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia. Which means the party had better give those Democrats something, and someone, to vote for. I hope the ancien regime Republicans — or, I guess, former Republicans — are serious when they talk about what a danger Trump is, both foreign and domestic, and how urgent it is to get him out of the White House. Do they think it would really be such an awful thing for more people to get health care? For migrant children to be treated like children, not taken from their families and caged in squalor? For universal background checks for gun purchases, supported by four-fifths of Americans, to be made law? For the United States to rejoin the Paris climate accord and stop artificially boosting the coal industry? For some effort to be made to address levels of inequality that would make Gilded Age titans blush? That’s what the Democratic nominee is going to stand for, because that’s what loyal Democratic voters stand for. The party should welcome refugee Never Trumpers with open arms. But they can’t be Never Democrats, too. Eugene Robinson’s email address is eugenerobinson@washpost.com.

Snohomish County is a vacation hotspot — for Seattleites They are seeking relative peace and quiet, and that’s boosting the county’s third-biggest industry By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

EVERETT — More guests at the Silver Cloud Inn on Mukilteo’s waterfront are urbanites seeking a respite from the hustle and bustle of the big city. But this isn’t about harried visitors from New York or Los Angeles. Seattle residents are seeking ”peace and quiet,” said Maia Kalehua, the hotel’s general manager . “I think more people are discovering Snohomish County,” Kalehua said. “It’s beautiful here and it’s an hour from downtown Seattle.” New data suggest that more than 80% of visitors to Snohomish County live right down the road, so to speak. From September to March, the majority of visitors to Snohomish County hail from the Seattle-Tacoma area, said C.J. Jones of the Snohomish County department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism. Jones’ information comes from a study by Arrivalist, a marketing consulting firm that uses location data from mobile devices to track visitors. After aerospace and agriculture, tourism is Snohomish County’s third-largest industry, according to a study by Dean Runyon Associates, a tourism research firm. Last year, visitors to Snohomish County spent an estimated $1.2 billion, the Dean Runyon study said. The Portland-based company uses traveler surveys, county and city hotel lodging tax receipts, U.S. Census Bureau data and other public sources to estimate visitor spending in each category. Spending increased yearover-year in the seven categories measured, including food, hotel stays, retail and entertainment. Restaurants and eateries reaped the lion’s share. Visitors spent an estimated $367 million on food and drink in 2018, up from $358 million the previous

year. Spending on lodging rose to $158 million from $154 million in 2017. Tourism and related fields employ 11,000 people and generate $24 million in local taxes and $60 million in state taxes — a significant economic driver. “People are surprised when they learn tourism is one of our leading industries,” said Snohomish County Councilman Terry Ryan, who chairs the county lodging tax advisory committee. “It’s a really big deal for us.” Said Kalehua: “People are coming here to hike, kayak, stand-up paddle, to get away.” Visitors spent another $1 billion on outdoor recreation in 2017, according to another study. Kalehua gives the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau’s new marketing slogan, “Seattle

NorthCountry,” a big thumbs-up. “Seattle NorthCountry” is intended to conjure the county’s wide-open spaces, pristine rivers and lakes, hiking trails, along with the urban corridor that stretches from Edmonds to Everett, said Amy Spain, executive director of the tourism bureau, a nonprofit marketing agency contracted by the county. Visitor spending is forecast to be even stronger this year, due in part to the start of commercial passenger service at Everett’s new two-gate air terminal this spring and a related upswing in hotel occupancy. Everett-based Propeller Airports, the terminal developer and manager, reported at the end of May that it had served 100,000 arriving customers and 100,000 departing ones since

opening March 4. Alaska Airlines and United Airlines operate 24 daily departures from Everett. United serves San Francisco and Denver. Alaska serves Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orange County, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose. In November, Alaska will change the schedule to accommodate service to Palm Springs. Propeller CEO Brett Smith believes that only 40% of the Puget Sound region is aware of Everett’s new passenger terminal. The Snohomish County Airport Commission, a twoyear-old voluntary advisory board, is planning community outreach this year to highlight the airport’s economic impact, seek comment on the airport’s master plan and get the word

on hotel and motel rooms. By law, the money can only be spent on tourismrelated activity. The lodging tax committee makes recommendations on where the money should go, Ryan said. “We’re being much more aggressive in attracting tourists than ever before,” Ryan said. The big goal is to increase the number of overnight visitors. In 2018, visitors who added a hotel stay spent more than $772 million in the county, compared to day-trippers who shelled out $294 million, the Dean Runyon study estimated. “We’re being much more aggressive in attracting tourists than ever before,” Ryan said. At the Courtyard by Marriott in Lynnwood, which is marketed as the chain’s “Seattle North/ Lynnwood Everett” location, general manager Mark Lee said that bookings are up a bit this year. Visitors who might have

spent “their last night” in a Seattle-area hotel to ensure they arrived at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on time are instead bunking locally and flying out of Paine Field, Lee said. “A few more travelers are staying up this way,” Lee said. That’s a good sign if the trend holds, said Spain, who directs the tourism bureau. “Our hotels, particularly those in south county, are influenced by the occupancy levels in the Seattle area,” said Spain. “When the Seattle hotels are full, people are pushed into the outlying areas, such as Mountlake Terrace and Lynnwood.” Competition has heated up. In the past 12 months, Seattle has added 2,000 new hotel rooms, Spain said. “The fact that our hotels are not seeing declines is showing pretty good strength,” she said. Still, there’s a troubling note. Lee said he’s seeing a noticeable decline in aerospace business travelers staying at the hotel, a

dropoff that began with the Boeing 737 crisis this spring. “The Max is made in Renton, but Boeing is here,” Lee said, referring to Boeing’s massive Everett assembly plant at Paine Field. It’s not clear if that could indicate a broader trend. In Mukilteo, Kalehua, Silver Clouds’s general manager, said there’s been no change in the number of aerospace business travelers — the hotel’s bread-and-butter. Nor has the launch of commercial airline service from Paine Field sparked an appreciable uptick in occupancy. But that nearer airline service has produced happy faces at the front desk, Kalehua said. “We have a lot more happy guests,” Kalehua said. “They’re happy they can fly into Paine Field — 15 minutes away — instead of the hour-and-a half from Sea-Tac.” Janice Podsada; jpodsada@heraldnet.com; 425-339-3097; Twitter: JanicePods

New waterfront hotel with a saltwater pool opens next month With a restaurant, bar and spacious meeting rooms, Hotel Indigo is expected to attract events By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

EVERETT — The 142-room Hotel Indigo, which overlooks Port Gardner and the Port of Everett’s Waterfront Place, opens next month. “We’re on track to open the first week of August,” said Patty Davis, the hotel’s general manager. “We’ve begun taking reservations.” The hotel’s opening will more than double the number of waterfront hotel rooms in Snohomish County. Mukilteo’s Silver Cloud Inn and the Inn at Port Gardner at the port’s Marina Village offer 103 rooms. Hotel Indigo adds 142 rooms — 119 with water views, said Amy Spain, executive director of the Snohomish County Tourism Bureau, a non-profit marketing agency contracted by the county. Waterfront hotel properties are a big draw for business travelers, and meeting and event planners, Spain said. “We get a lot of requests from event planners for this kind of setting … and Hotel Indigo has some significant meeting space and private dining rooms,” Spain said. Last week, general manager Davis led a hard-hat tour of the four-story hotel, which has 8,000 square feet of meeting space, 153 parking spaces and an indoor saltwater pool. Construction crews were busy hanging drywall, installing light fixtures and framing an outdoor courtyard that overlooks the waterfront. On the main floor inside the new restaurant and bar, workers were putting the finishing touches on a bank of floor-toceiling windows. The Jetty Grille & Bar on the building’s southeast side overlooks the port’s new Pacific Rim Park and splash fountain. “We plan to open the restaurant at the same time as the hotel,” Davis said.

The Jetty Grille & Bar on the building’s southeast side overlooks the port’s new Pacific Rim Park and splash fountain. The menu focuses on Pacific Northwest cuisine, including smoked salmon chowder and beer-battered halibut and chips, Davis said. The restaurant seats 120, the bar 50. A take-out window, Jetty Grille Express, will offer to-go items such as fish and chips when the weather permits, Davis said. Room rates during the peak and summer season start at about

$230 per night. Fall and winter prices are expected to be in the $189 to $209 range, Davis said. The nautical-themed hotel will also offer a 79-foot private yacht, the Aqua Villa, for events and excursions, Davis said. Hotel indigo is also pet-friendly. “We are excited to welcome everyone in soon and become See HOTEL, Page B7

part of the growing community of Everett,” she said. Seattle-based Columbia Hospitality will operate the hotel. Columbia operates more than a dozen hotels in Washington, including the Salish Lodge & Spa at Snoqualmie Falls and Semiahmoo Resort in Blaine. In 2018, the company and port agreed to a lease that will pay the Port of Everett $15,000 a month for up to 80 years. The lease will be reviewed every 10 years for market value and inflation adjustments. Hotel Indigo is a key feature of the port district’s Waterfront Place development, a multimillion-dollar makeover. Fisherman’s Harbor District, a 12-acre piece, is the first stage of the 65-acre development near 13th Street and West Marine View Drive. The opening of the port’s Pacific Rim Park and splash fountain, a stone’s throw from the new hotel, “will dovetail with the hotel opening,” port spokeswoman Catherine Soper said. The park celebrates the port’s global trade mission and is the centerpiece of the Fisherman’s Harbor. By fall, hotel guests and visitors should be able to walk from the waterfront to Grand Avenue Park. A pedestrian bridge destined to span West Marine View Driver near 16th Street is now scheduled to be installed in mid- to late-August, said Kathleen Baxter, public works spokeswoman for the City of Everett. “That’s the target,” Baxter said. The 257-foot long Grand Avenue pedestrian bridge will link the park in Everett’s northwest neighborhood to the port. The complex project, which will cross over five railroad lines and under power transmission lines, requires coordination with BNSF Railway and the Snohomish County Public Utility District, Baxter said. Work on the project will require the closure of a portion of West Marine View Drive for about 10 days. Janice Podsada; jpodsada@ heraldnet.com; 425-339-3097; Twitter: JanicePods

Where’s the next Sea-Tac? Aviation here is expected to soar A new study predicts demand for airline service in the Puget Sound region will double by 2050 By Janice Podsada Herald Writer

SEATTLE — Demand for passenger air service and air cargo capacity in the Puget Sound region is expected to soar over the next three decades, an ongoing aviation study says. Passenger enplanements — the number of people departing on a scheduled flight — is expected to more than double, from 24 million in 2018 to more than 50 million in 2050. The Regional Aviation

Baseline Study, expected to be completed in fall 2020, will be used to inform aviation planning. Its authors are anticipating future needs for airline service, air cargo and general aviation at airports in Snohomish, King, Pierce and Kitsap counties through 2050, said Josh Brown, executive director of the Puget Sound Regional Council, the four-county planning agency that is developing the study. “Aviation plays a critical See AVIATION, Page B10

role in the region’s economy and quality of life,” Brown said. “Our airports support the largest aerospace manufacturing center in the world.” The study assumes “unconstrained” growth. Factors such as “not enough room in the skies and not enough terminal gates could constrain demand for air service,” he said. On a global scale, demand for airline services is on pace to dramatically rise in coming decades. It’s anticipated to fuel aircraft production and airport and airline expansion. According to market studies by Boeing and Airbus, the airline industry will need about 40,000 new passenger jets and

freighters valued at more than $6 trillion over the next two decades. Locally, Puget Sound’s projected population growth and concurrent job growth will be among the key drivers , the study said. The metropolitan area’s population, which was 4.1 million in 2018, is expected to rise to 5.8 million. The Puget Sound region has 29 airports in all. One of them, of course, is an international hub, SeattleTacoma International Airport. Of eleven smaller airports, two have scheduled passenger service: Paine Field in Everett, which launched commercial flights March 4, and, starting this week, Boeing Field in Seattle. On Monday, JetSuiteX began passenger service to California’s Bay Area from King County International Airport, as Boeing Field is formally

known. The carrier operates three daily flights between Seattle and Oakland International Airport, using Embraer 135 jets that seat 30. Also on that airport list are Arlington Municipal Airport, Harvey Field in Snohomish, Renton Municipal Airport and Boeing Field in Seattle. The list also includes military airports, the biggest of which is Joint Base Lewis-McChord Field in Pierce County.

Another 15 airports, including Darrington Municipal, Skykomish State Airport and Sky Harbor in Snohomish County, aren’t part of a national plan of airports eligible for federal money to make improvements to runways and taxiways. Arlington Municipal received $1.1 million this spring. Regional air passenger traffic and cargo volume have already reached record levels and are expected to increase, the latest chapter of the study said. This spring the Legislature authorized the formation of a committee to identify six possible locations for a second Sea-Tac-caliber airport. The committee must also develop a timeline to ensure the facility is functional by 2040. The aviation baseline study could be a useful tool in the process. Other key findings of

the study: ■ Commercial service, defined as regularly scheduled passenger service, is closely tied to economic and demographic trends. As the region becomes a more important hub for connections to Asia, demand for fights will increase. ■ The number of takeoffs and landings is expected to grow from 438,000 in 2018 to between 810,000 and 914,00 in 2050, up 85% to 109%. ■ Cargo service includes freight and mail carried in the lower hold of passenger aircraft as well as on air freighters. Globalization and e-commerce are driving dramatic air cargo growth, the study said. And strong Washington exports and a surge in international flights are fueling regional air cargo growth. ■ Demand for regional air cargo capacity is expected to grow from

552,000 metric tons in 2018 to 1.3 million tons by 2050, a 136% increase. ■ Regional demand for general aviation operations — such as aviation activities for business, flight instruction, medical services, law enforcement, recreation and tourism — is expected to grow at a far-slower pace. Nationally, there have been gradual declines in recreational flying due to rising costs, competition from other activities and lower commercial airfares. ■ However, business and and for-profit general aviation, such as sightseeing and skydiving, are expected to increase. As a result, regional demand for general aviation operations is predicted to increase from 1.35 million in 2017 to 1.8 million by 2050, up 34%.

Is your fish stick more bread than fish? Inspectors can tell NSF International, an industry group that checks for fish fraud, has relocated to Everett from Seattle

Recipe: Black Cod By NSF senior seafood inspector Scott Albrecht After filleting the cod, put it in a pan and cover it with ¼-inch to ½-inch of miso paste. Cover and put it in the refrigerator for two days. When you’re ready to grill, take it out of the fridge and scrape off the miso. Grill. Fish should be grilled to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Black cod typically cooks in 10 minutes or less, but use a food thermometer.

EVERETT — If the tuna sushi you had for dinner feels like it’s still swimming, it might not be tuna but escolar — an eel-like fish. While escolar can taste rich and buttery, its unique properties have helped it clinch a title: the Ex-Lax of fish. Substituting lower-cost escolar for higher-quality, higher-cost tuna is one way unscrupulous seafood suppliers profit from your misery, says experts at NSF International Everett. NSF International, an independent organization, tests food products, including seafood products, on behalf of retailers and distributors, among other services. Clients want to be sure that their suppliers’ products meet their specifications, said Scott Albrecht, a senior seafood inspector. Those checks include looking for seafood fraud. “We’re the CSI of fish,” joked Albrecht. The organization also provides third-party certification, testing food and equipment to ensure they meet industry health and safety standards. NSF is a nonprofit whose operations span the globe. It recently relocated its regional seafood services program from Seattle’s Fisherman’s Terminal to the Port of Everett. Its new office and lab are at the port’s Marina Village, near Anthony’s Homeport restaurant. The Everett location “allows us to partner with the Washington State University/Idaho Center for Advanced Food Technology

program” and is closer to Canadian clients, said Tom White, the seafood program’s global manager for certification and audits. The port is pleased to have NSF and its seafood sleuths aboard. “Given our strategy to support and grow the maritime and seafood industry, it’s a perfect fit,” said Terrie Battuello, the port’s chief of business development, in a prepared statement. NSF, formerly National Sanitation Foundation, was established by the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health in 1944 to develop health and safety standards. One of the first assignments was developing sanitation rules for soda fountains and luncheonettes. Now NSF operates in 175 countries, including Mexico, Peru, Spain, South Africa, India, Japan and Korea. By law, seafood suppliers are required to label what and where the species comes from. If the label says wild-caught sockeye salmon, it better not be

farm-raised salmon. An estimated 20 percent of seafood products in the U.S. are mislabeled, according to a recent study by Oceana, a nonprofit conservation group. “Seafood fraud ultimately deceives consumers who fall victim to a bait-and-switch, disguises conservation and health risks, and hurts honest fishermen and seafood businesses,” said Beth Lowell, deputy vice president of U.S. campaigns. “Seafood traceability — from boat to plate — is critical to

ensure that all seafood sold in the U.S. is safe, legally caught and honestly labeled,” said Lowell in a prepared statement. In 2017, Americans consumed about 16 pounds of seafood per person — the highest per-capita consumption in nearly a decade, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries report. By comparison, Americans consumed 217 pounds of red meat and chicken per person that same year, a Department of Agriculture source said.

NSF International is one of many non-governmental industry groups that aims to protect seafood buyers. “Most of what we do is quality checks,” said White. On a recent visit to the Everett laboratory, seafood inspector Albrecht was opening packages of frozen pink salmon fillets. A grocery chain wanted to know if its supplier’s salmon fillets were up to spec. For the next hour, he measured, weighed and visually inspected one sample after another for too many bones, bruises or dimples —a tell-tale sign of parasites. Does each fillet weigh 3 to 5 ounces and measure about 3 inches by 4 inches? Does its pink hue match samples on a color reference card? “We report what we find,” said Albrecht, working his way through the grocer’s quality checklist. An unscrupulous supplier also might mislabel the country of origin and substitute a lowerpriced fish such as pollack for higher-priced Walleyed pike, or escolar for albacore. Even fish sticks can be scammed if the breading exceeds a set percentage, Albrecht said. Too much ice on Alaskan crab See FISH, Page B13

legs or too much breading on butterfly shrimp can tip the scale and cheat the buyer. Still, distinguishing one fish from another isn’t easy — even for experts. “When you take the skin off a fish and fillet it, it loses its identity,” said White. When it’s too close to call, NSF collects samples for DNA analysis and sends them to a lab in Ferndale, Washington. The results are compared to the Food and Drug Administration’s growing DNA database of seafood and other foods. To help educate buyers, NSF plans to launch new education programs, including “Fish School” for restaurant and grocery store buyers who want to

boost their seafood expertise, White said. “In our former location, we were limited to less than a dozen per class,” said White. “Here we can expand our enrollment to as many as 60 per class.” Eventually NSF will offer a similar program for consumers “who want to become smarter seafood shoppers,” White said. Albrecht’s job hasn’t curbed his appetite for seafood. After spending the morning inspecting a shipping box filled with pink salmon fillets, Albrecht was looking forward to a salmon salad he’d packed for lunch. “It’s hard to find bad seafood, especially here,” he said, referring to the Northwest.

PORTREPORT Creating Economic Opportunities

JULY EVENTS • Fridays: Food Truck Friday • Sundays: Everett Farmers Market • July 4: Classic Rock 4th of July Concert • July 5: Jetty Island Days Kicks-off • July 9: Port Commission Meeting • July 11: EASC Port Report & Harbor Cruise • July 13: ESPS Vessel Safety Checks • July 19: Sail-in Cinema Kicks-off • July 25, Aug. 8/15/22: Harbor Tours

EXECUTIVE

The Port is a proud recipient of two industry awards for its environmental and communication efforts. Washington Public Ports Association honored the Port with the 2019 Environmental Stewardship Award and American Association of Port Authorities recognized the Port with a Communications Award of Excellence (1st place) for its 2018 centennial campaign — Port of Everett: The First 100 Years.

SEAPORT

On June 11, the Port's two gantry cranes arrived to the Seaport after an 11-day journey from Port of Los Angeles EverPort Terminal. The cranes are a key component of the Port's $57M South Terminal Modernization.

MARINA

The Port's recent marina and upland investments have caught the eye of the yacht brokerage community. The Northwest Yacht Brokers Association has inked a deal with the Port to relocate the Boats Afloat show from South Lake Union to the Port's Central Marina in September 2020.

REAL ESTATE

Hotel Indigo® Everett is nearly complete with opening planned for August 2019. Reservations are now being accepted. SeaLevel Properties is expected to begin construction on its 266 apartment homes at Fisherman's Harbor this summer. The work is expected to take 18 - 24 months.

Innovative Partnership Funds Port of Everett’s Blue Heron Slough Conservation Bank; Key Project for Salmon Habitat The Port of Everett has reached a momentous and comprehensive agreement with the Port Gardner Bay Trustees to invest in and restore 338 acres of salmon habitat on a 353-acre site north of Everett. The Port’s agreement, memorialized under a formal Consent Decree with the U.S. Department of Justice, is out for a 30-day public review. The Port Gardner Bay Trustees is comprised of the Tulalip Tribes, Suquamish Tribe, U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife and the Washington State Department of Ecology. The agreement represents a comprehensive settlement for natural resources damage liability from the years of historic industry on Everett’s waterfront. “The Port, together with our restoration partner Wildlands, pursued an innovative and groundbreaking approach to settling natural resource damages on Port Gardner Bay in a way that provides immediate and significant environmental benefits by ensuring funding for the construction of the Port’s Blue Heron Slough Conservation Bank project,” said Erik Gerking, the Port of Everett’s Director of Environmental Programs. “The Blue Heron Slough project will benefit various threatened species, including the Chinook salmon, which is the primary food source of the Southern Resident Killer Whale (Orca).” The Blue Heron Slough project is located in the lower Snohomish River Estuary, near the mouth of the Snohomish River, immediately north of the City of Everett on the east side of I-5. The 353-acre site is located on land that historically was part of an extensive estuary complex that was supported by daily tidal flooding from Possession Sound and intermittent flooding from the Snohomish River. In the 1800s, the area was cleared, diked, and drained for agriculture. “This groundbreaking achievement is a win-win for the environment and local communities,” said Jim Pendowski, Toxics Cleanup Program Manager for the Washington Department of Ecology. “Restoring and protecting 353 acres of critical tidal habitats will help salmon thrive and help the communities that rely on healthy fisheries.” The ecological goal for Blue Heron Slough is to restore this 353-acre complex by creating a mosaic of channels, marsh, mud flat, and riparian habitats, which will be reconnected to riverine and tidal influences by breaching the existing dike in four locations. The project’s restored habitats, including marsh, mud flat, riparian, and channel habitats, will assist in the recovery of the Puget Sound Chinook salmon and bull trout. The site was identified as one of the key locations for salmon recovery in the 2005 Snohomish River Basin Salmon Conservation Plan. The Port and its restoration partner Wildlands, one of the top restoration providers in

the nation, are currently in the process of entitling wetland mitigation credits on the site. “The project demonstrates that environmental mitigation projects are a key tool in restoring habitat for fish and wildlife in Puget Sound.” said Mark Heintz COO of Wildlands. The settlement with the Trustees will include approximately 70 acres which will be debited from the 338-acres of restored habitat on the project. The remaining portions of the conservation bank will be used for off-setting environmental impacts of Port and other third-party projects, such as economic development, transportation, maintenance and other types of projects. Conservation banks are a model for creating large-scale restoration projects that can move the needle on environmental restoration and the recovery of threatened species.

MILLS TO MARITIME: Acquisition of former Kimberly-Clark Site On June 4, the Port Commission unanimously approved a resolution authorizing the Port to utilize its eminent domain authority to acquire up to 67-acres of the vacant KimberlyClark mill site in Everett. The Commission believed it was in the best public interest to retain this deep-water resource in public ownership to support maritime commerce, economic development, international trade and support to the Department of Defense and other branches of the U.S. government. According to an independent economic impact study, the Port’s ownership will support more than 950 direct jobs, and an additional 700 indirect and induced jobs.

The urban deep-water maritime complex (Port & Naval Base) supports 42K jobs & $383M in state & local taxes.

NWAC doesn’t draw a lot of attention from D-I scouts. So he started contacting schools himself. One he chose was Long Island University because his friend, former Edmonds-Woodway High School girls soccer star Gabby Clark, played for the women’s team. “During my high school days (playing for an NCAA Division I college) was all I wanted to do,” Abad said. “One of the things about being a CC athlete, you don’t get the looks that you would coming out of high school. So you really have to put yourself out there and try to make things happen for yourself.” Abad corresponded with the Sharks coaching staff and Abad went for a visit. The two sides decided they were a match, with Abad also being enamored with

EVERETT — After the Mariners went heavy on pitching in the 2019 MLB draft, it wouldn’t have been unreasonable to think heading into the season that the AquaSox would struggle to hit in the Northwest League, which is comprised mostly of freshly-drafted college players. The AquaSox, especially of late, have proven that belief to be true. After being no-hit by Tri-City on Saturday and held to just two hits on Sunday, Everett boasts the second worst batting average in the league at .202 and has the the third worst clip in on-base plus slugging. “Hitting is one of the toughest things to do, but of course we have to do a better job at it,” Everett manager Jose Moreno said. “Our kids are working, trying to swing at better pitches and not chase any one out of the strike zone and try and be aggressive with fastballs.” It hasn’t been all doom and gloom for Everett’s offense this year. In fact, the AquaSox are one of the better power-hitting clubs in the Northwest League with 12 home runs, which is second in the league. They are also third in the league with 77 walks. It’s also possible this collection of hitters is more susceptible to peaks and valleys, at least according to the small sample size available. After getting out to a slow start to the season by scoring 2.8 runs per game over the first five games, the AquaSox offense produced 7.3 runs per game over their next nine

Most nights this summer, Julio Abad finds himself fighting through the final remnants of evening rush-hour traffic as he drives from his home in Lynnwood all the way to Sumner to take part in Seattle Sounders FC under-23 training. He’s making this almost daily trek so he can best prepare for joining the Long Island University men’s soccer team in August, being the rare player to go directly from Edmonds Community College to an NCAA Division I school. The opportunity with the Sounders came about because of Abad’s involvement with the Special Olympics USA unified men’s soccer team that competed at the 2019 Special Olympics

EXTRA >> WEB www. heraldnet.com/sports ✔ Julio Abad had what he described as “call to action” moments during his time at the 2019 Special Olympics World Games in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. For his account of those stories, visit the companion story on The Herald’s website. World Games in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. All of this coalesced over a twoweek period in March, and all of it is down to Abad taking the initiative to make things happen. It’s been a crazy few months for Abad, and the Meadowdale High School graduate is doing everything within his power to make the most of the soccer opportunities he’s created.

“I’ve really been kind of lost for words about the whole thing,” Abad said. “All of it has been absolutely life changing.” “It’s just amazing,” Ozzy Erkut, Abad’s coach at Edmonds CC, said. “He’s a local guy who came to a community college and just loves the game. The past year it’s been amazing what he’s achieved, and I’m super happy for him.” The intersection point for all these events came in early March. It began with Abad committing to Long Island University. Abad was a Northwest Athletic Conference All-North Region selection as a sophomore defensive midfielder for Edmonds last fall, and he eventually was named the Tritons’ Male Athlete of the Year for 2018-19 among all sports. But playing for an NCAA Division I school was always his dream, and

‘Ruthless’ U.S. takes on England in semifinal By Anne M. Peterson Associated Press

LYON, France — England coach Phil Neville says the United States has a ruthless streak. It’s one of the reasons the U.S. has never missed the semifinals at the Women’s World Cup, and why the team has three overall titles, more than any other nation. “America has got that ruthless streak of wanting to win,” Neville said. “You saw the last five minutes of the (quarterfinal) game against France. The game management was fantastic. They took the ball into the corner, they knew what it took to win, and they celebrated like winners. That’s what I admire, and that’s what my team has now. It’s about winning.” The third-ranked Lionesses play the defending champions Tuesday in Lyon.

The Lionesses fell to Japan four years ago in the semis in Canada before going on to defeat Germany in the third-place match for the team’s best tournament finish.

The Seattle Mariners passed the midpoint of their season last week, and with the organization being open about rebuilding this season, it seems midseason evaluations should be based not on the team’s win-loss record, but rather on whether it’s making progress in its attempt to build for future contention.

Former QB Rypien pleads not guilty to domestic assault Associated Press SPOKANE — Former Super Bowl hero Mark Rypien, who announced last year that he believes he suffered brain damage while playing in the NFL that caused him to behave violently at times, pleaded not guilty Monday to a charge of domestic violence against his wife. Rypien was taken to the Spokane County Jail on Sunday afternoon after his arrest near a bank on the north side of the city. A witness who saw the couple called police and said Rypien’s wife alleged he had struck her. She was evaluated and did not need medical treatment, police said. Rypien, 56, was released without bail. His next court appearance was scheduled for July 31. Prosecutors initially asked for a no-contact order between Rypien and his wife at the brief hearing, but she argued against that. There was no answer at the Spokane offices of the Rypien Foundation, which battles childhood cancer. Rypien’s attorney, Chris Bugbee, did not immediately return a telephone message. Rypien announced last year he believes he has CTE, caused by repeated concussions while playing in the NFL. He said he believes this condition caused him to have erratic and violent behavior.

WIMBLEDON

Gauff, 15, shocks Venus Williams Second-seeded Naomi Osaka is also ousted in the first round in London. By Howard Fendrich Associated Press

WIMBLEDON, England — Coco Gauff grew up admiring the Williams sisters. Picked up a tennis racket as a little girl because of them. And on Monday at Wimbledon, still just 15, Gauff beat one of them. Gauff, already the youngest competitor ever to qualify at the All England Club in the professional era, showed the poise and power of a much older, much more experienced player, pulling off a 6-4, 6-4 victory in the first round over Venus Williams, who at 39 was the oldest woman in the field. When it ended, Gauff dropped her racket and put her hands on her head. After a handshake and exchange of words at the net with Williams, Gauff knelt by her sideline chair and tears welled in her eyes. Up in the stands, her father leaped out of his seat. “Honestly, I don’t really know how to feel. This is the first time I ever cried after a match. Or winning, obviously; I’ve cried after a loss before,” said Gauff, who is based in Florida. “I don’t even know how to explain how I feel.” This was her third tour-level match; Williams has played more than 1,000. This was Gauff’s first at Wimbledon, where Williams

has played more than 100 and won five titles. By the time Gauff was born in 2004, Williams already had spent time at No. 1 in the ranking and owned four of her seven Grand Slam singles trophies. It was by far the most anticipated match of Day 1 at the grasscourt tournament, but hardly the only upset. Two-time major champion Naomi Osaka, who was No. 1 until a week ago, lost 7-6 (4), 6-2 to Yulia Putinseva, joining two young members of the men’s top-10, No. 6 seed Alexander Zverev and No. 7 seed Stefanos Tsitsipas, on the way out. Gauff came into the week outside the top 300 but was granted a wild card by the All England Club for qualifying. She

rolled through those rounds at a nearby site, knocking off the event’s top seed. But this was a whole other task: a main-draw match against an idol on No. 1 Court, with its seating capacity of more than 12,000. Gauff was sensational and showed zero signs of the moment or the matchup being too daunting for her. It’s the sort of unusual calm and steady way she has progressed through the various levels of youth tennis, including reaching the U.S. Open junior final at 13 and winning the French Open junior title at 14. The first set was remarkable: Gauff had 10 winners to only two unforced errors, all the while trading powerful groundstrokes at the baseline with Williams,

LIU’s business program. Abad won’t be on athletic scholarship with the Sharks, but he is receiving some academic scholarships. Abad committed to LIU in early March, and within two weeks he was headed to Abu Dhabi for the Special Olympics World Games, which took place March 14-21. Abad was a unified partner on the U.S. 11-a-side men’s team — unified teams consist of both special athletes and non-special athletes like Abad. Abad got involved with the team through his longtime friend, Brandon Primm. Primm’s older brother, Danny, is a Special Olympian, and Primm has long been involved. Last summer Primm invited Abad to try out for the Special Olympics Washington unified team, which ended up being the one that represented the U.S. at the World Games. But Abad, much to his disappointment, was unable to attend because of a prior commitment. However, months later a spot opened up on the team. Abad was given a solo tryout and he was accepted onto the team for Abu Dhabi. “Being at the Special Olympics

World Games and meeting so many amazing athletes, hearing their stories about everything they’ve gone through in life and been able to do, it really puts into perspective how our lives are and what we may think of as important, or what we may thing of as a challenge,” Abad said. “Sometimes it’s absolutely nothing compared to what other people have gone through. The whole experience really opened my eyes to the world.” The U.S. went 1-1-1 in pool against Kenya, Denmark and India, lost to eventual gold medalist South Africa in the semifinals, then beat India to win the bronze medal.

“It was good,” Abad said about the level of play. “They’re all good players out there. When we were playing soccer everything else went away, they were soccer players and they were good. We had one player on our team I’d say easily could have made a CC team, he’s a phenomenal player.” It was during the trip to Abu Dhabi that the door to the Sounders opened. Abad, in anticipation of playing at a four-year school, had been trying to contact the Sounders U-23s about training with them during the summer, but to no avail. Unbeknownst to Abad, the reason he received

and never facing a break point. “The sky’s the limit,” Williams said. “It really is.” Gauff, who is black, long looked up to Williams and her younger sister, Serena, the first African American women since Althea Gibson in the 1950s to win a Grand Slam singles championship. Asked about Gauff over the weekend, Serena said she reminds her of Venus. When they spoke after Monday’s match, Gauff said she thanked Venus “for everything she did.” “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for her,” said Gauff, who joined the crowd in applauding for Venus as she walked off the court. “And I was just telling her that she’s so inspiring. Like, I always wanted to tell her that. And even though I met her before, I guess now I have the guts to.” She showed plenty of grit in this match, particularly after getting broken to make it 4-all in the second set. Gauff steadied herself right there, though, breaking right back with a pair of forehand passing shots that drew errant volleys. And then in the final game, Gauff needed to erase the disappointment of wasting her initial three match points. She did just that, converting her fourth when Venus put a forehand into the net. “I never thought this would happen,” Gauff said. “I’m literally living my dream right now. And not many people get to say that.”

no response from the Sounders U-23s is because they had undergone a coaching change. The new coach, Jason Prenovost, just happened to be part of the U.S. contingent for the Special Olympics World Games. Abad was able to talk to Prenovost about the possibility of training with the team over the summer, a tryout was set up for early May, and Abad earned a spot as a practice player. Abad is one of several practice players, attending all the team’s sessions and filling in wherever needed. “The guys I’m playing with are some of the best players around,” Abad said. “Training with these high-caliber players, there’s something to learn from everyone. The community college level is a little slower paced, but going to the D-I level is a big jump. Now I get to train with a bunch of D-I players, and I’m exposed to playing against competing with that caliber of player.” Abad will spend the rest of the summer practicing with the Sounders U-23s, and since returning from Abu Dhabi he’s remained involved with Special Olympics — he’s looking into opportunities in New York once he arrives at LIU. That means Abad’s whirlwind soccer journey will only continue. If you have an idea for a community sports story, email Nick Patterson at npatterson@ heraldnet.com.

NBA FREE AGENCY

NHL FREE AGENCY

Blue Jackets’ core splits Thompson stays put; Columbus signs Heat finalize Butler deal former Silvertip Many moves were made on a frantic first day of NHL free agency.

Kawhi Leonard remains the biggest star still on the market.

Associated Press

Associated Press Klay Thompson is staying home with Golden State. Jimmy Butler finally has a new home in Miami. And the wait continues for Kawhi Leonard. Thompson announced his decision to stay with the Golden State Warriors for $190 million over the next five years, meaning the five-time reigning Western Conference champions have their ‘Splash Brothers’ backcourt of Thompson and Stephen Curry locked up long-term. Thompson made the announcement on social media, using the hashtag “Warrior4life.” He added, “there was never a doubt.” There’s still plenty of doubt about Leonard’s next stop. The first 24 hours of free agency have come and gone without a peep from the NBA Finals MVP, who is expected to meet with the Toronto Raptors — the team he led to this past season’s NBA title — as early as Tuesday. The Los Angeles Lakers also appear to remain squarely in the race to land him to play alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis. But there is no more doubt about Butler’s future. The Heat completed agreements on what will become a four-team trade Monday to land Butler from the Philadelphia 76ers, with the Los Angeles Clippers and Portland Trail Blazers also involved. Miami gets Butler and Meyers Leonard, the Blazers get Hassan Whiteside, the Clippers get Maurice Harkless and a future first-round pick and the 76ers get Josh Richardson. Miami had agreed to send Whiteside to Portland for Harkless and Meyers Leonard earlier in the day, and then essentially got absorbed into the deal to get Butler — who will be under contract for $142 million over the next four seasons. The Heat had the framework of a three-team deal with the 76ers and Dallas nearly in place Sunday before the Mavericks went a different way. Kyrie Irving made his move to the Brooklyn Nets on a four-year deal believed to be worth $141 million official, with the New York native saying the lure of going home was too strong to ignore. “Home is where my family is,” Irving said in

a video posted by his new representation, Roc Sports. “Home is where I want my legacy to continue. And I’m happy to be in Brooklyn.” Irving had been with the Boston Celtics. His replacement in next season’s Celtics lineup will be Kemba Walker, who explained his decision to leave Charlotte for Boston in an essay published Monday by The Players Tribune. “I feel like it’s a match made in heaven,” Walker wrote. “I want to win here, badly — and I’m excited to prove myself as that type of player in this league. I want to elevate myself into that Boston winning tradition. I want to get this team back on top.” Hornets Chairman Michael Jordan released a statement lauding Walker. “He always represented the Hornets, the NBA and the city of Charlotte with class — both on the court and in the community — and we are disappointed he is leaving,” Jordan said. “He’s a special player, with a tremendous heart and tireless work ethic. Kemba is truly one of the best to ever play for our team. We wish him and his family all the best in the future.” The New York Knicks missed out on players like Irving and Kevin Durant — who is also headed to Brooklyn — but continued the retooling of their roster by adding guards Elfrid Payton and Wayne Ellington. New York will become Ellington’s ninth team in 11 seasons. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski tweeted that former University of Washington star Isaiah Thomas has agreed to a one-year deal with the Washington Wizards. And Seth Curry, Stephen’s brother, is returning to Dallas . The Mavericks agreed to a $32 million, four-year contract with Seth, who spent last season with Portland.

The much-anticipated breakup of the Columbus Blue Jackets’ star-laden core came quickly. Once Artemi Panarin completed the exodus of talent, leaving Columbus to sign with the New York Rangers a little over an hour into the NHL’s free agent signing period Monday, the real intrigue began. The Montreal Canadiens made the boldest move of the day by signing Carolina restricted free agent Sebastien Aho to a five-year, $42.27 million offer sheet. That leaves the Hurricanes seven days to match the offer or elect to receive Montreal’s first-, second- and thirdround picks as compensation. “We want to win. That’s the risk we’re taking. That’s the business we’re in,” Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin said. Carolina GM Don Waddell last week said the team would match any offer, but Monday would only say the team will review its options. Panarin is headed to the Big Apple after signing a seven-year, $81.5 million contract with the Rangers. Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky left Columbus for South Beach after signing a seven-year, $70 million contract with the Florida Panthers, and center Matt Duchene acknowledged he considered re-signing with the Blue Jackets before choosing Music City by signing a seven-year, $56 million contract with the Nashville Predators. “I had a ton of respect for everybody there,” Duchene said of Columbus. “At the end of the day, though, Nashville seemed like a perfect fit.” The Blue Jackets began restocking their lineup by signing winger Gustav Nyquist to a four-year deal with an average salary of $5.5 million. There was plenty of movement elsewhere. n Joe Pavelski, the longtime San Jose captain, left to sign a three-year, $21 million contract with Dallas. He was joined by Corey Perry, who signed with the Stars after having his contract bought out by Anaheim. The Sharks also lost winger Joonas Donskoi, who signed a four-year $15.6 million with Colorado. They were able to re-sign restricted free agent forward Timo Meier. n Dallas lost veteran forward Jason Spezza, who is heading to play in his hometown of Toronto after signing a one-year, $700,000 deal. n The Maple Leafs began the day acquiring defenseman Cody Ceci, a 2020

COLUMBUS — The Columbus Blue Jackets re-signed former Everett Silvertip Ryan Murray to a two-year, $9.2 million contract Monday. Murray, a 25-year-old defenseman, was a restricted free agent and a key blue liner for Columbus this past season despite missing the last 24 games with an injury. He set career highs for assists (28), points (29) and plus-minus rating. Murray has registered 13 goals and 88 assists in 320 career NHL games, all with the Blue Jackets. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2012 entry draft, Murray made his NHL debut in the 2013-14 season. He played with the Silvertips from 2010-2013. Associated Press

third-round pick and minor leaguers Ben Harpur and Aaron Luchuk from the Ottawa Senators for defenseman Nikita Zaitsev, forward Connor Brown and minor leaguer Michael Carcone. Some 10 hours later, the Leafs made another blockbuster deal by acquiring defenseman Tyson Barrie, forward Alex Kerfoot, a restricted free agent, and a 2020 sixth-round pick from Colorado. The Avalanche got back forward Nazem Kadri, prospect defenseman Calle Rosen and a 2020 third-round pick. n Numerous goalies switched teams, including a free-agent swap in Alberta: Cam Talbot left Edmonton to sign a one-year, $2.75 million with Calgary. And Mike Smith left the Flames to sign a one-year, $2 million contract with the Oilers. The New York Islanders let Vezina Trophy finalist Robin Lehner walk and replaced him by signing goaltender Semyon Varlamov to a four-year contract. The Islanders did retain forward Anders Lee with a seven-year, $49 million contract. Lehner then signed a oneyear, $5 million contract with Chicago. n In Pittsburgh, the Penguins signed Winnipeg forward Brandon Tanev to a sixyear deal with an average annual value of $3.5 million. n In Minnesota, the Wild signed free agent right wing Mats Zuccarello to a five-year, $30 million contract, and right wing Ryan Hartman on a two-year, $3.8 million contract. n In Detroit, the Red Wings signed center Valtteri Filppula to a two-year $6 million contract.

Aquasox end 2-game skid

SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

By Josh Horton Herald writer

EVERETT — Damon CasettaStubbs picked up his first Northwest League win, allowing one run over five innings, and the AquaSox stalled a two-game skid by topping the Boise Hawks, 6-2, to begin a threegame series at Funko Field at Everett Memorial Stadium on Monday. Utah Jones, playing in his first game with the AquaSox after being reassigned from Single-A West Virginia, launched a leadoff homer in the bottom of the first to knot the score at 1-1 after Michael Toglia, the Rockies’ first-round pick in the 2019 MLB draft, uncorked a solo homer over the netting past the right-field fence in the top of the inning. Everett hung three runs in the second to take a 4-1 lead on Cesar Izturis Jr.’s RBI single, Miguel Perez’s RBI triple and DeAires Moses’ sacrifice fly. Perez went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored, Patrick Frick recorded two hits and a RBI and Jones crossed home twice to lead the AquaSox offense. Casetta-Stubbs settled down after serving up the homer to Toglia, allowing three hits and striking out five with two walks over his five-inning outing. Nate Fisher was solid in three innings of relief for Everett, allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts and no walks.

Merchants fall in tournament semis Herald Staff GRAND FORKS, British Columbia — The Everett Merchants lost to the Alaska Goldpanners 1-0 Monday in the semifinals of the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament. The loss eliminated the Merchants from the eight-team tournament. Everett went 4-2 in tourney play. Four Alaska pitchers combined on the four-hit shutout. Cameron Walker pitched the first seven innings to earn the win. Everett’s starting pitcher, righthander Koby Blunt, took the loss despite allowing just one run and striking out five in his five innings of work. Trevor Quinn and Mickey Coyne combined to shut out the Goldpanners over the final four innings. Alaska scored the game’s lone run in the second on an RBI single by Tony Riley. The Merchants nearly tied the game in the sixth, but Austin Hauck was thrown out in a close play at the plate. Hauck had three of the Merchants’ four hits in the game.

Roster moves Utah Jones, the Mariners 26th-round pick in June’s MLB draft, and right-handed pitcher Deivy Florido were assigned to the AquaSox on Monday from SingleA West Virginia. Jones, a North Greenville University standout, posted a .159/.229/.456 slash line in 12 games with West Virginia and Florido posted a 4.95 ERA in 10 games, six starts.

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs throws against the Oakland Athletics during the first inning of a game Saturday in Anaheim, Calif.

Angels pitcher Skaggs found dead at age 27 Police said they are investigating, but no foul play is suspected at this time. Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — Los Angeles Angels pitcher Tyler Skaggs died Monday at the age of 27, stunning Major League Baseball and leading to the postponement of the team’s game against the Texas Rangers. Skaggs was with the team in Texas when he was found unresponsive in his hotel room. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said they are investigating, but no foul play is suspected. Skaggs was “an important part of the Angels Family,” the team said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Carli and his entire family during this devastating time.” Skaggs, who would have turned 28 on July 13 and was married just seven months ago, had been a regular in the Angels’ starting rotation since late 2016, when he returned from Tommy John surgery. He struggled with injuries repeatedly over the past three seasons but persevered to become a valuable starter in Los Angeles’ injuryplagued rotation. A photo of Angels players wearing cowboy hats by their plane was posted on Skaggs’ Instagram account Sunday, with the pitcher writing “Howdy y’all” and making a reference to the team’s road trip to Texas. The Angels are scheduled to go to Houston for a threegame series this weekend after playing the Rangers. The left-hander last pitched Saturday, allowing two runs in 41⁄3 innings in a 4-0 loss to Oakland. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he was “deeply saddened” by Skaggs’ death. “We will support the Angels’ organization through this most difficult period, and we will make a variety of resources available to Tyler’s teammates and other members of the baseball family,” Manfred said in a statement. Angels players and coaches who had arrived at the Rangers’ ballpark

that’s just our expectations, and our belief and our confidence and our mindset.” There were questions when Neville was appointed to lead the team early in 2018 because he’d never coached a women’s team. But the former Manchester United and Everton star has answered all the critics by building a team that believes it can win. “I think we’ve shown throughout this tournament that we can go toeto-toe with anybody,” captain Steph Houghton said. The Lionesses head into the U.S. game with four straight shutouts in France, including a 3-0 quarterfinal victory over Norway. Jill Scott, Ellen White and Lucy Bronze each scored, with Bronze’s goal sealing it. White, Alex Morgan and Megan Rapinoe have five goals each in the tournament to lead the field for the Golden Boot. Australia’s Sam Kerr also scored five, but the Matildas were eliminated in the round of 16. Rapinoe has been particularly dangerous in the past two games, scoring twice in a 2-1 victory over Spain in the round of 16 before another brace in the 2-1 quarterfinal victory over France. The performance in Paris on Friday night came as Rapinoe was embroiled in controversy over a video that surfaced of her saying she wouldn’t visit the White House if the Americans win the World Cup. President Donald Trump subsequently called her out on Twitter. The French peppered goalkeeper

for Monday night’s series opener left about three hours before the scheduled start of the game to return to their hotel. The clubhouse was never opened to the media. The Rangers’ clubhouse also was closed when general manager Jon Daniels and manager Chris Woodward told their players what had happened and dismissed them. “Real life takes precedence here,” Daniels said. “Some things are a lot bigger than baseball.” Skaggs was born in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Woodland Hills, in the far western part of the sprawling San Fernando Valley. He graduated from Santa Monica High School in 2009, when the Angels drafted him in the first round. The Angels traded Skaggs to Arizona in 2010, and he started his big-league career with 13 appearances over two seasons foin Arizona. The Angels reacquired him in December 2013.

MLB keeps up record home run pace, breaks monthly mark again NEW YORK — A month after setting a record for most home runs in a month, big league batters did it again and are on pace to shatter the season mark. The Elias Sports Bureau said Monday that batters hit 1,142 home runs in June, seven more than in May. Five of the top six home run months have been in the past three years. August 2017 is third at 1,119, followed by June 2017 (1,101), May 2000 (1,069) and May 2017 (1,060). A total of 3,421 home runs were hit in 1,255 games through Sunday, an average of 2.73 per game. That is up 19% from the 2.28 average through June last year, when 2,822 home runs were hit in 1,236 games. Batters are on pace to hit 6,624 home runs — well above the record 6,105 set in 2017 and up from 5,585 last year. A year after strikeouts surpassed hits for the first time, whiffs remain ahead: 21,871 to 21,554. While there were more strikeouts than hits in March (949 to 848) and April (6,799 to 6,371), hitting has picked up in the warmer months. There were 7,170 hits to 7,137 strikeouts in May and 7,165 hits to 6,986 strikeouts in June. The major league batting average was .251 through June. That is up three points from last year’s average, the lowest since 1972.

Alyssa Naeher with shots and the United States settled into a five-man backfield, something French coach Corinne Diacre said she’d never seen the top-ranked Americans do before. The U.S. held firm. Christen Press said being able to shift from the team’s normally aggressive attack to a more defensive stand is part of what makes the team ruthless. “I would characterize it as optimism that we’re going to win. But there is a ruthlessness to this team. And that’s win at all costs,” Press said. “That means tactically adapt in a way that we never have in four years. And you have to do that to win. … It’s incredible that we could change and still be so solid.” The United States and England have met just once before in the World Cup, a 3-0 U.S. win in the 2007 quarterfinals. But earlier this year the teams played to a 2-all tie in the SheBelieves Cup. The Americans have been called brash and confident at this World Cup, from a resounding 13-0 victory over Thailand in the opener, to a shutout of nemesis Sweden to close the group stage, and finally to Rapinoe’s raised arms in the victory over France. Neville added ruthless to the list. Naeher explained that it’s just a part of the team’s DNA. “That’s the root of the U.S. women’s national team, from back to the teams from 20 years ago,” she said. “And that’s always been the U.S. mentality and that’s something that every veteran player has instilled in all the new players as we’ve come in. It’s now our job to carry that through.”

‘Spider-Man’ good enough but suffers from ‘Avengers’ hangover By Robert Horton Herald movie critic

nybody got a cure for a hangover? Because it’s still the morning after in the new Spider-Man movie. The decade-long Marvel storyline, allegedly wrapped up in “Avengers: Endgame,” continues as a presence in “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” The events of “the Blip,” the “Avengers” concept that wiped out half the population (something I was hoping never to have to think about again), continue to be felt. And for Peter Parker (Tom Holland), the loss of his mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr., glimpsed in various ways) is a major issue. Tony willed Peter a pair of magical eyeglasses, which will play a role in Peter’s expansion of his SpiderMan powers. Ready for a break from superheroing, Peter is off to Europe with his high-school chums. But cranky Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) keeps pulling him back in. Seems there’s a global threat in the form of monsters who take the shape of the basic elements. A water fiend threatens Venice, and a fire demon puts the torch to Prague—all while Peter happens to be on tour. Fury introduces Peter to a new potential father figure, Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal, enjoying himself), a visitor from a parallel reality who wants to join what remains of the superhero squad. In the delightful “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” director Jon Watts made the big battle scenes come to life. Here they go back to being generally boring, in the manner of most Marvel battle scenes, although I liked Mysterio’s goldfish-bowl headgear and the glowing green dome he uses as a protective device.

New stuff from Lil Nas X, Prince, Buddy and Julie Miller Lil Nas: “X 7”

For those living under a rock, invincible cowboy-rap phenomenon “Old Town Road” is currently the biggest hit since “Macarena” and five weeks away from being the longest-running number-one song of all time. That’s way too much pressure. By all rights, the 20-year-old who sings it should be spared the indignity of people even listening to this hasty, futile grab for lightning in a bottle twice, when no one (especially not him) pretends to know what he’s doing. Because Lil Nas X was a private citizen five months ago, it’s instructive to think about his very first release in terms of, well, what one of us would’ve done. No one else could’ve come up with “Old Town Road,” of course. The six other productions are neither hits nor filler, but they’re enticing and — eventually — hooky. Smart to venture into guitar-rock and off-kilter sax when the priority is resisting pigeonholes, and smart to interpolate Nirvana and include Cardi to convince people these tunes have historical weight. But chances are you could’ve written better lyrics. — Dan Weiss, The Philadelphia Inquirer

This album is a gift, and a collection of gifts. Prince gave many songs to other performers — often to women — and these are the demos in the form of fully realized recordings, most of them produced between 1982 and 1984, when Prince released 1999 and Purple Rain. Many became hits: “The Glamorous Life” (for Sheila E.), “Manic Monday” (for the Bangles), “Jungle Love” (for the Time), “Nothing Compares 2 U” (originally for the Family, but then covered by Sinead O’Connor). On a historical level, it’s fascinating to hear how closely most artists hewed to Prince’s original vision — it would be foolish to try to improve a Prince song, or even to try to equal his performance. The most striking exception is “You’re My Love” (for Kenny Rogers): Prince’s version is full of soul and humor. —Steve Klinge, The Philadelphia Inquirer

Buddy and Julie Miller: “Breakdown on 20th Ave. South” Buddy and Julie Miller last made an album together in 2009. Since then, Buddy has continued to flourish as an Americana producer, sideman and solo artist, while Julie has been confined to home by chronic illness. That put a strain on the couple’s relationship, which is chronicled with unsparing candor on “Breakdown on 20th Ave. South” — the title, in fact, refers to the Nashville street on which they live. On the surface this may seem like a Julie solo record — she wrote all 12 songs and sings lead on all but one. But with his spare, unvarnished arrangements, a mix of acoustic and electric, and complementary vocal harmonies, Buddy again shows an unerring knack for ensuring that Julie is at her transfixing best, heightening the raw emotion and vivid, cut-to-the-bone nature of her lyrics: “I feel the fingers of the night/ Wrap around me tight/ Then it whispers in my ear/ Then screams out, there’s no one here,” she sings on the haunting “Unused Heart. —Nick Cristiano, The Philadelphia Inquirer

TODAY IN HISTORY Today is Tuesday, July 2, the 183rd day of 2019. There are 182 days left in the year. Today’s highlight: On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law a sweeping civil rights bill passed by Congress. On this date: In 1776, the Continental Congress passed a resolution saying that “these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” In 1881, President James A. Garfield was shot by Charles J. Guiteau at the Washington railroad station; Garfield died the following September. (Guiteau was hanged in June 1882.) In 1892, the Populist Party (also known as the People’s Party) opened its first national convention in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1917, rioting erupted in East St. Louis, Illinois, as white mobs attacked black residents; nearly 50 people, mostly blacks, are believed to have died in the violence. In 1937, aviator Amelia Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to make the first round-the-world flight along the equator. In 1961, author Ernest Hemingway shot himself to death at his home in Ketchum, Idaho. Today’s birthdays: Former Philippine first lady Imelda Marcos is 90. Jazz musician Ahmad Jamal is 89. Actor Robert Ito is 88. Actress Polly Holliday is 82. Racing Hall of Famer Richard Petty is 82. Former White House chief of staff John H. Sununu is 80. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox is 77. Writer-director-comedian Larry David is 72. Thought for today: “The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.” — Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961). — Associated Press
