Some progress, but ongoing vessel and crew issues plague Washington State Ferries
By Carleen Johnson
The Center Square
The Washington State Department of Transportation Ferries Division hosted a recent virtual public meeting to give an update on crew shortages, attempts to restore service, and ongoing efforts to build hybridelectric ferries.
About 200 people listened in on the meeting and asked questions at the end. Many of them are regular or frequent ferry riders who have endured their share of delays, cancellations and other frustrations with Washington State Ferries.
Steve Nevey is the assistant secretary for WSF. He said despite challenges, the ferry service has logged 318,000 service miles already this year, “which is 10 times around the Earth."
“Since Jan. 1 through May 31, we’ve had 6.9 million total riders, 3.6 million total drivers and almost 60,000 total trips," he explained.
WSF has had 29 life-saving events this year, according to Nevey.
“I had no idea that the ferries were involved in so many rescue events out on the Sound,” Nevey said. “It makes sense because we’re out there all the time, but we’re often asked by the Coast Guard if we can help someone who gets into trouble on the water.”
Stumbling blocks remain to improved service.
“We still have some big challenges, shortage of crew and vessels, but cancellations due to crew shortages have gone down significantly,” Nevey pointed out.
He showed a graph that indicated from January through April of 2023, WSF had more than 1,100 cancellations for lack of crew.

approximately $35 million by 2042. Last year, the Seattle Office of Sustainability and Environment appropriated $828,228 in payroll expense tax revenue to implement the building emissions performance standard policy.
The 2024 city budget includes $5.8 million in appropriations
“Same period this year, it’s 493,” Nevey said. “So, as we work our way out of our ferry crisis, we are seeing far fewer canceled sailings.”
John Vezina, WSF’s director of Planning, Customer and Government Relations, said despite ongoing delays with maintenance and crew issues, WSF is making progress.
“There are three routes that are still unrestored,” Vezina said. “FauntleroySouthworth-Vashon, SeattleBremerton and then Port TownsendCoupeville. We have significantly less service there.”
According to Vezina, the Legislature has directed WSF to keep vessels going for 60 years, and that is an increasing challenge.
“A lot of the boats we have you can no longer get parts for, and all credit to our Eagle Harbor maintenance facility colleagues,” Vezina said. “They often make parts to keep the boats running.”
“We’re down to a 20-boat fleet but because past maintenance wasn’t done, we’re down to 15 boats most of the time,” he said.
Vezina went on to say, “We prioritize routes that are absolutely dependent on us, like the San Juans. We probably won’t be able to restore Anacortes-Sidney until 2030.”
Crew shortages for WSF are an ongoing frustration for those who depend on the service every day.
“In 2023 we hired nearly 180 new employees and we’re on track to have another great year in 2024,” said WSF Chief of Staff Nicole McIntosh. “I’m proud to say in the first quarter of this year, 24% of our new employees are people of color.”
Majority Democrats in Olympia passed legislation in 2023, directing WSF to meet diversity hiring goals.
from the payroll expense tax to continue the policy's implementation. This includes $4.5 million for engineering design and capital funding for nonprofit and affordable housing buildings.
Harrell’s office said these new policies will create hundreds of local jobs that cannot be outsourced and will support workers directly in the Seattle area.
'Please no police:' confidential Washington youth hotline draws concerns
By TJ Martinell The Center Square
Recently the Washington Attorney General’s Office launched a 24/7 confidential youth reporting system that allows residents up to 25 years old to contact them regarding a variety of issues, including mental health and physical safety. However, communications between the residents and the hotline may also reveal crimes committed by, or against, the person in question.
While the AGO has developed procedures for when to contact law enforcement, some concerns have been raised as to how the program’s stated purpose and best practices might lead to conflicting priorities.
According to HearMeWa’s Best Practices Toolkit, the intent of the hotline is “to provide a place of support and early intervention for youth who may have concerns about themselves or others. The referral and response framework aims to defer youth from the criminal justice system and into systems of support that are inclusive and respectful of all youths’ needs.”
While youth surveyed for the program identified issues such as social pressures, cyberbullying, and mental well-being that could be helped via a hotline, they also cited sexual abuse/assault and abuse/ neglect as other needs the program could address. For example, one youth surveyed noted that they needed help “when I was in an abusive relationship at the age of 17, with a much older person.”
Further, youth surveyed made recommendations for the program that emphasized confidentiality and not involving the police “when not necessary.” One youth who participated in an online survey conducted for the program wrote “Please no police. Having the police leads to LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and other marginalized communities to use these resources less, and they might need it the most.”
According to the best practices toolkit, “the AGO expects tip responder agencies will follow youth's recommendations when practicable within their agency or organization’s existing policies and procedures, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of those contacting the program.”
Allowing the AGO to accept reports of criminal activity as part of the program has proved controversial. The concept of the hotline was first introduced via Senate Bill 5835 during the 2019. Last year, the concept was again reconsidered under Senate Bill 5327. Neither bill cleared the Legislature,
but Senate Bill 5327’s language was inserted in the operating budget as a $2.5 million funding provision.
Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Executive Director Steve Strachan wrote in a statement to The Center Square that “WASPC believes every effort should be made to support the provision of services to those who need services, particularly victims of crime.
“However, reports of criminal activity should be made to law enforcement, not the Attorney General’s Office. To our knowledge, this [HearMeWa] program was never intended to defer youth from the criminal justice system, serve as an alternative to the criminal justice system, or to not involve the police. We have every confidence that the Attorney General will alert law enforcement immediately when immediate emergency response to a tip is warranted, and refer and follow up with law enforcement –just as the law requires.”
When The Center Square reached out to the AGO for comment, Communications Manager Brionna Aho wrote that under the program “all reports of imminent threats, actions in progress and/or that require immediate intervention should be sent to 911, and secondary resources as appropriate.”
Examples of that include:
• Actions, past, present and future that can put someone in danger
• When the person is reporting a missing person or a runaway child, or a matter that requires more indepth investigation due to potential criminal activity.
• When the person is reporting an ongoing crime and call center staff has enough evidence to believe that a dispatch team is required.
Examples of when they do not contact law enforcement are calls/ tips regarding anxiety, bullying, depression, hazing, homelessness, and substance abuse.
“Our program has clear guidance for our contractor, which was created in consultation with our law enforcement partners and the advisory group,” Aho wrote.
A sauce with fish
By Lynda Balslev
It's tempting to focus solely on the sauce in this recipe, since you may want to eat it with a spoon. I won't discourage you from that, but I will suggest you make a large batch so you can enjoy it as a versatile and year-round condiment.
This recipe looks to the Italian puttanesca sauce for inspiration. It's packed with juicy summer tomatoes, sweet peppers, briny olives and capers, and subtly infused with anchovy. Anchovy, you may wince? You bet. Don't be intimidated by these little fishies. When they are of high quality, their flavor is mild and buttery, reinforced by sea salt and a touch of briny flavor that melts into the sauce. When used with restraint, they disappear, even while providing discreet, savory, umami notes. The olives and capers step in and wake the sauce up (not that it's a snoozer to begin with) and provide sharp, juicy pops of flavor.
This sauce is a sum of its many parts, all of which bond like kindred spirits and create a bright, balanced compote with myriad uses. Spoon it over roasted and grilled fish and chicken, ladle it over pasta, or spread it on toast and flatbreads and melt a blob of mozzarella on top. In addition to its versatility, this sauce is a smart do-ahead recipe, because the flavors develop with time. Make a jar and stash it in the fridge for use throughout the week, or freeze it for longer storage.
Take advantage of summer's fresh tomatoes and sweet peppers; roast them in the oven or on the grill. If not in season, you can adapt to your pantry and use canned fire-roasted tomatoes and jarred roasted red peppers. (Substitute one (28-ounce) can whole fire-roasted tomatoes, crushed by hand, and two large jars roasted red peppers, finely chopped.)
GRILLED SWORDFISH WITH ROASTED TOMATO, PEPPER AND OLIVE SAUCE
Active time: 30 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes, plus oven roasting time
Yield: Serves 4
▶ 6 to 8 plum (Roma) tomatoes, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds, halved
▶ Olive oil
▶ Kosher salt
▶ 1 large or 2 medium red bell peppers, halved, seeds and membranes removed
▶ 4 garlic cloves, minced
▶ 2 to 3 anchovies, finely chopped
▶ 2 tablespoons drained capers
▶ 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano)
▶ 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
▶ 2 tablespoons tomato paste
▶ 1/3 cup halved and pitted Kalamata olives
▶ 1/3 cup halved and pitted Castelvetrano olives
▶ 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
▶ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
▶ Freshly ground black pepper
▶ 4 swordfish steaks (or other firm-fleshed whitefish fillets), each 6 to 8 ounces
▶ Chopped Italian parsley, for garnish
▶ Lemon wedges
If using a grill, lightly brush the tomatoes with oil and season with salt. Grill the tomatoes, cut side down first, until the
skins char and wrinkle, turning occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the skins and chop the tomatoes. Transfer to a bowl with any collected juices. Grill the peppers over direct heat until charred and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the peppers to a bowl. Cover the bowl and let steam for 15 minutes. Peel and discard the skins and chop the peppers. If using an oven, heat to 450 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Arrange the tomatoes, cut side up, on the baking sheet. Arrange the peppers, cut side down, on the same baking sheet. Lightly drizzle the vegetables with oil and season with a pinch of salt. Transfer to the oven and roast until the vegetables are charred in spots and softened, and their skin shrivels, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove and cool to the touch, then peel away the skins and chop the vegetables.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, 15 to 30 seconds. Add the anchovies, capers, oregano and red pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and stir to toast and make a slurry, about 30 seconds more. Add the tomatoes and juices, red peppers and olives and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Taste for seasoning and season with salt and black pepper.
Prepare the grill for direct cooking over high heat. Lightly brush the swordfish with oil and season with salt and black pepper. Grill the fish over direct heat until just cooked through the center, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness. Serve the fish with the sauce spooned over and around the fish. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing.

Public Health director proclaims Seattle’s sugary drink tax a success
By Spencer Pauley The Center Square
Six years since Seattle’s sweetened beverage tax has been implemented, the region’s public health lead has declared it a success.
Public Health – Seattle & King County Public Director Faisal Khan briefed the King County Public Health Board on various announcements in the region on Thursday. Khan spoke on recent findings on the city’s sweetened beverage tax.
“The sweetened beverage tax is now scientifically proven and statistically proven to be associated with a decrease in body mass index amongst children,” Khan said in the board meeting.
Khan is referring to a recent study from the American Medical Association regarding Seattle’s sweetened beverage tax and the change associated with body mass index amongst children.
The results of the study suggested that the sweetened beverage tax in Seattle may be associated with a small but reasonable reduction in body mass index [BMI] among children living within the Seattle city limits. But, the authors caution that few studies have assessed the association between sweetened beverage taxes and health outcomes.
The study looked at 6,313 children living in the Seattle area and a nearby non-taxed area. Results found that the tax was associated with a modest decrease in BMI among children living in Seattle compared with children living in the nearby non-taxed areas who were receiving care within the same health care systems.
“It goes without saying that this is a major public health success,” said Khan.
Seattle’s sweetened beverage tax revenues were approximately $21 million in 2022. That is a 11% increase [$2 million] from collected revenue from the tax in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic caused the tax revenue to drop to a low of $17.3 million in 2020.
In 2019, the tax generated $22 million and about $23 million in 2018.
The city's 2024 endorsed budget assumes that the sweetened beverage tax revenues would total $20.4 million in 2023 and $20.7 million in 2024, which is less than the $21 million the tax generated in 2022.
Sweetened beverage taxes have been implemented in seven U.S. cities including Seattle, Philadelphia, Oakland and San Francisco. Seattle implemented the tax in 2018 to improve the health of residents by reducing the consumption of sugary drinks. Revenue raised by the tax also goes toward programs intended to increase access to healthy food and support child health and early learning.
The standard tax rate for the sweetened beverage tax is about 18 cents per ounce. There is a reduced tax rate for certified manufacturers of one cent per ounce.

Haley. “He is always a friendly and responsible patroller!”
It all started when Wolf stumbled into the end of the year party for last year’s Safety Patrol and it turned into a great leadership opportunity.
“I love helping other people in my community all the time,” said Wolf. He reported that there is a schedule for which days to come in early and he gets his hat, vest, and flag, then heads out to help kids get safely across the street.
“One time, it was complete chaos
with cars everywhere and drivers I have dealt with before. I just had to make sure that the kids got across the street safe!” Wolf said.
