FORMER COUNTY PROSECUTOR NOW FIGHTS FOR VICTIMS OF BOEING AIRLINE DISASTERS An interview with attorney Mark Lindquist
BY MATT NAGLE matt@tacomaweekly.com
When former Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist moved on from his post after the 2018 election, he pretty much hit the ground running. After interviewing with several law firms and considering offers, he chose the renowned Herrmann Law Group, which handles aviation disasters, automobile accidents, and other personal injury cases. “I planned to take a break for writing, reading, and life maintenance, but this opportunity was too good to refuse,” he told Tacoma Weekly. “So I went straight from one job to the next. No break.” Now, Lindquist is using his experience and savvy to help the families of those who perished in the two deadliest Boeing airline crashes in history. Last week, the Herrmann Law Group filed a federal lawsuit against The Boeing Company on behalf of the families of two victims who died in the March 10 crash
of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Prior to this, the firm filed suit against The Boeing Company on behalf of the families of 17 victims who died in the crash of Lion Air Flight JT 610 on Oct. 29, 2018. In both crashes, the plane was a Boeing 737 Max 8 and everyone on board died. More victim families are continuing to sign with the firm. “When I joined Herrmann Law, I knew Lion Air would be the first case I would work on,” Lindquist said. “I didn’t know how big of a job it would become. It’s the most engaging case of my career so far and I’ve been blessed to work on many engaging cases.” Lindquist said he chose Herrmann Law because the firm embodies his professional and personal values. “When we met to discuss the job, Chuck (Herrmann Law Chairman Charles Herrmann] told me, ‘The purpose of law is to u See LINDQUIST / page 4

ELKS HELP MILITARY KIDS START THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR ON A POSITIVE NOTE
ELKS
Members of Elks Lodges in Tacoma, Olympia, Lakewood and Seattle came together to purchase and distribute the school supplies.
On Wednesday, Elks from Tacoma, Olympia, Lakewood and Seattle lodges worked with Joint Service Support on Camp Murray to distribute backpacks and school supplies to more than 600 children of our active duty and veterans. For the second year, the Washington State Elks Association funded the purchase of 758 high quality backpacks for the school age children of active duty, guard, reserve and veterans. Members of the four Elks Lodges helped with the preparation on Tuesday. According to the coordinator of the project, “If the Elks had not helped with the prep, we would have worked an extra six hours just to get ready.” Wednesday, the Elks manned sever-
al of the stations to distribute the backpacks, pens, pencils, paper, binders and other supplies. Ernie Bodoh, Jim Guthrie and Patty Kennedy, who are members of Tacoma Elks #174, manned the first station where the backpacks were handed out. The children got to pick both the size and color of the backpack they wanted. The smile on their faces made the effort worthwhile. Other resources, such as family assistance, child and youth services, financial assistance, employment assistance, military one-source, American Red Cross and USO, were available for the families. Even free haircuts were provided. The proj- u See ELKS / page 5

CITY LIKELY TO STOP HAULING GLASS BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
Global economic factors are forcing Tacoma to re-examine how best to deal with the garbage and recyclable materials generated by residents. For years, Tacoma residents have thrown their trash in green bins, yard waste and food scraps in brown bins, most recyclable materials in blue bins, and
glass bottles in a small blue box. Much of the recyclable material has been getting shipped to China, which has implemented new standards on what it will accept. Tacoma City Council and city staff have been examining how best to proceed with the recycling program. They held a discussion on the topic during the Aug. 13 study session. The presenters were Lewis Griffith, division

manager of Solid Waste Management in the city’s Environmental Services Department; Preston Peck, a project specialist in the department; and Mike Slevin, director of the department. They explained how a global shift in the recycling market that began last year has increased the city’s costs to process co-mingled recycling by $1.9 million a year. The costs have increased to meet lower contamination limits. Shipping costs have increased, and the recycled commodities market is poor due to decreased demand for the end product. Other jurisdictions have increased the rates they charge to customers. The average increase for Pierce County is $3.56 a month, while in Kitsap County the average increase is $3.26 a month, and $3.61 a month for King County. Staff is recommending that the city maintain the co-mingled recycling, while adding a surcharge to cover increased costs. The details of how much the increase would be are still being worked out. One recommendation is to increase costs by $1 per month per customer, which would raise $1.2 million over two years. Some of the money would be allocated toward public education efforts, which could include paid advertising in local media outlets
and having city staff at information tables at public events. The main change customers will experience is that no one will come to their homes or businesses to haul away glass bottles. The city plans to have several locations around the city where people could take their bottles. “This will be the biggest impact on citizens,” Councilmember Conor McCarthy observed. He said some residents might haul their bottles to such a location while out running errands, but he noted some would likely go back to throwing empty bottles in the green garbage bin. The staff was asked about the environmental impact of bottles ending up in the landfill. Slevin said the city had to do this for a while a few years ago, when the market for glass was flat. Griffith said that glass in a landfill does not pose any significant problem. He estimated that currently, about 1 or 2 percent of material that goes to the landfill is glass. Griffith noted the staff has done considerable outreach to the public, including surveys. He said the staff recommendation “seems to be what the community wants.” The council is expected to make a decision on the topic in October.

t Lindquist From page 1 do good and avoid evil.’ Simple and true. That resonated with me. I also admire his daughter, Lara [Herrmann Law CEO], and I like everyone in the firm.” Chairman Herrmann has worked on many aviation disasters in his career, starting with Korean Airlines Flight 007 in 1983, a famous case where Russians shot down the Korean jet after it traveled into Soviet prohibited airspace. Since then, Herrmann and the firm have litigated some of the biggest aviation cases in history. Immediately after Lindquist joined Herrmann Law, he and Herrmann flew to Indonesia for a five-week trip. They signed up clients, got to know them on a personal level, and made it a point to learn about Indonesian culture. “To represent somebody well, you need to know them. You need to know their world,” Lindquist said. He noted in this case that he would be telling the stories of their Indonesian clients to Boeing attorneys, to the public, and maybe to a jury if the case goes that far. Before Lindquist was a high-profile prosecutor, he was a bestselling novelist. Four of his books have been published by major publishing houses in New York. “The ability to understand people and tell their story has been a useful skill in every career I’ve had,” he said. “As a novelist, of course, but also as a deputy prosecutor, as an elected official, and now as a trial lawyer. In the courtroom, the best story usually wins.” Lindquist and Herrmann returned to Indonesia shortly after the second Boeing 373 Max 8 went down on March 10 (Lindquist’s birthday). The attorneys held

an international press conference in Jakarta with more than 40 reporters in attendance from across the globe. “I likened MCAS (the new computer software that Boeing fatefully installed on the 737 Max 8), to HAL, the sinister computer from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey.’ Fortunately, many reporters nodded. They were familiar with American pop culture. They got it.” It was the MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System) in both of the jets that took control WINE HOME BABY WINE of the planes and, in both cases, drove the planes’ noses into fatal dives. Lindquist said that typically a case like this would take around three years, but Herrmann Law is already in mediation with Boeing attorneys from the Seattle
NATIVE
firm of Perkins Coie. “So far, I find the attorneys for Boeing to be professional, civil and strategic,” Lindquist said. “I’m optimistic they will advise their client to do the right thing. In this case, the right thing is full, fair and fast compensation for the victim families along with fixing the aircraft. Boeing needs to do this so everyone can move forward.” A SMOOTH TRANSITION Lindquist said that the transition from prosecutor to personal injury attorney was a natural one. The Herrmann Law website slogan is, “Championing your rights.” Just as he did for 22 years as a career prosecutor, Lindquist continues to pursue justice, hold bad actors accountable and help people. “Steve Jobs said the best thing that ever happened to him was being voted out of Apple. I love how he put it: ‘The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again.’ Jobs believed he entered the most creative, constructive period of his life at this point. I feel the same way. The sense of starting something new is liberating and it frees your creativity.” Lindquist has many friends who are writers, musicians, and filmmakers. Artists, he said, understand the importance of change and growth. He quoted playwright Tom Stoppard. “Every exit is an entrance somewhere else.” Lindquist’s stint as the elected Pierce County prosecutor began in 2009 when the Pierce County Council, in an unusually bipartisan vote, unanimously appointed him to the position. Voters kept him there. He was elected in 2010 and re-elected in 2014 with 96 percent of the vote against a write-in candidate. In the almost 10 years that Lindquist served as county prosecutor, it was reported that felony crimes in Pierce County went down 18 percent and misdemeanor crimes went down 29 percent. Asked about his top successes, Lindquist cited the Elder Abuse Unit. Pierce County was one of nine U.S. counties to win $400,000 from the U.S. Department of Justice for a comprehensive approach to reducing elder abuse. “I want to give a shout out to (former deputy prosecutor) Erika Nohavec. She was the first supervisor of the Elder Abuse Unit and turned it into a leader in the state,” Lindquist said. “Sven Nelson, who followed her, also did great work.” Lindquist’s accomplishments as county prosecutor are still felt to this day. His legacy, in addition to protecting elders, includes a federal lawsuit against Big Pharma for their role in the opioid epidemic; being the first in the state to form a High Priority Offender Unit and use data to focus resources on repeat offenders; a Gang Unit; an Identity Theft Team, and much more. Before he was the elected prosecutor, Lindquist was one of the prosecutors who convicted the Tacoma Mall shooter. His co-counsel was Phil Sorensen, who is now a Pierce County Superior Court judge. Former Tacoma Police Detective Gene Miller, the lead officer on the case, was later hired by Lindquist to organize the High Priority Offender program. As the elected, Lindquist continued to prosecute major crimes, including the conviction of Tyler Savage BABY for the rape and murder of Special Olympian Kimmie Daily. On top of this, he brought bipartisanship, civility and integrity to the job – qualities, he noted, that do not seem as popular today as they were 10 years ago. Sometimes described as “central casting’s idea of

a prosecutor,” Lindquist is a tall, recognizable figure. People approach him to thank him for his work. He said he still receives Christmas cards and e-mails from victim family members he worked with as prosecutor. His time as county prosecutor was not without controversy, however, which comes with the territory. He never publicly engaged with his naysayers, preferring to stay above the fray. “One of the many things you learn in public service is to focus on the things that actually matter. That’s a good rule in private practice as well. Life, too.”

FAMILY MATTERS When he’s not helping clients, Lindquist remains the dedicated family man he’s always been. His wife, Chelsea, and their 9-year-old daughter, Sloane, are the loves of his life. His proudest moments are when he’s with Sloane, who clearly enjoys hanging out with her dad. She may be the most visible and charming 9-yearold in the city. “She’s the star of the family,” Lindquist said. “Chelsea and I are raising her to be confident and comfortable around people. From what I hear, we’re succeeding.” Does he have any political aspirations for the future? In response, Lindquist didn’t say yes, but he didn’t exactly say no either. He said he’s too focused on the new trails he’s blazing to think about other options. A self-described “student of the Stoics,” (an ancient Greek philosophy that teaches self-control and fortitude), Lindquist shared a quote from Marcus Aurelius. “Begin each day by telling yourself, ‘Today I will encounter meddlers, ingrates, egomaniacs, the jealous and the dishonest. They act this way because they do not know the difference between good and evil.’” Summarizing the rest of the passage, Lindquist said, “Aurelius tells us not be bothered by human shortcomings and just remember we are all in this together to do good.” Lindquist advises anyone who is in a public position to read Aurelius’ “Meditations” in general, and this passage in particular. In the end, Lindquist said he feels like he has always been blessed to be in the right place at the right time. “I love my work and I love our clients. Right now it’s difficult to imagine doing anything else.”

YOUTH HONE THEIR ACTING SKILLS IN DRAMA CAMP BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
A group of aspiring thespians has been busy the past two weeks honing their craft in an August acting camp. The program is operated by Tacoma Arts Live, formerly known as Broadway Center for the Performing Arts. The youth practice their drama skills in rehearsal spaces in the organization’s downtown complex. Katie Lappier is director of education at Tacoma Arts Live. She took a few moments to speak about the program and its participants while sewing buttons onto costumes, one of many extra tasks Lappier has taken on to make sure everything runs smoothly. The program began on Aug. 5, with the classes and dress rehearsals wrapping up on Aug. 16. The youth range in age from 8 to 18. Many live in Tacoma, with others coming from Spanaway
and Puyallup. Earlier this summer, 38 youth were enrolled in a similar drama camp. There are 38 participants in the current session, with some of them having also having completed the program held in July. The youth are split into two groups that will stage two plays: “Alice in Wonderland” and “A Wrinkle in Time.” A panel of youth chose these two plays to perform. Some of the youth have prior drama experience, while for others this is their first taste of acting. She said the program is useful for experience performers, “but it is also meant for first-time performers.” The classes begin at 9 a.m. and run until 4 p.m., giving the youth considerable time to hone their craft. “They live at the theater,” Lappier said. “It is a really intensive process.” She thinks the experience is good for the youth as it helps them learn skills they can utilize later in life.
The performances will take place on Aug. 17 at Theatre on the Square, located on Broadway between South 9th and 11th streets. They will be held at 2 p.m. and again at 6 p.m. The cost
to attend is $12, with children under 5 admitted for free. Lappier said this venue works well for aspiring actors. “The acoustics are great for projecting,” she remarked.

FERGUSON SEEKS TO JOIN LAWSUIT TO DEFEND INTEGRITY OF THE CENSUS COUNT Federal judge has called Trump Administration’s defense ‘halfhearted’
Attorney General Bob Ferguson on Aug. 12 asked an Alabama federal judge to allow him to join an ongoing lawsuit to ensure that the 2020 Census includes all residents in its count, seeking to bolster what the court has called the Trump Administration’s “halfhearted” defense of the constitutionally required count. The lawsuit, filed by the State of Alabama and Alabama Congressman Morris Brooks Jr. last year, seeks to force the federal government to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census count, claiming that including them in the count would potentially result in the state losing congressional representation and federal funds to other states. “Our Constitution is clear: the census must be an ‘actual enumeration’ of the ‘whole number of persons’ in the United States,” Ferguson said. “The Trump Administration won’t do its job to defend the census and has already tried to undermine the count for its own political advantage. Once again, Washington state will step in to protect the integrity of the census.” “With so much at stake in the cen-
sus, we cannot allow anyone to denigrate efforts to ensure that everyone is counted,” Gov. Jay Inslee said. “This effort has profound political and fiscal implications for states for decades to come. I support the efforts of Attorney General Ferguson and others as they continue to stand up for a complete count in Washington, and in every other state.” In December, U.S. District Court Judge R. David Proctor criticized the federal government’s defense in the case as “rather halfhearted.” The court wrote that it was “concerned that (the federal government has) overlooked” key arguments against Alabama’s lawsuit. Ferguson and 15 other attorneys general, in addition to nine cities and counties, including Seattle, and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, are seeking to join the case to ensure that the census is adequately defended. This is not one of Ferguson’s 44 lawsuits against the Trump Administration. In those cases, Ferguson is 21-0 against the Trump Administration. In his motion to intervene in the case, Ferguson cites U.S. Attorney Gen-

eral William Barr’s comments in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling blocking the Trump Administration from adding a citizenship question to the census as further evidence that the administration may not offer an adequate defense of the census in the Alabama case. During a press conference after the ruling, Barr specifically cited the Alabama lawsuit, noting that the federal government was still “studying the issue” of “whether illegal aliens can be included for apportionment purposes.” Earlier this year, Ferguson successfully blocked the Trump Administration’s attempts to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, which the Census Bureau’s own research found would depress participation in the census. The administration had argued that the question was intended to help enforce the Voting Rights Act. However, evidence was later uncovered that detailed a Republican strategist’s alleged role in developing the justification for adding the question. The strategist, who has since died, determined that the effects of adding a citizenship
question would aid redistricting efforts that would be “advantageous to Republicans and non-Hispanic whites.” In its ruling, the Supreme Court called the government’s justifications for adding the question “contrived.” Assistant Attorneys General Laura Clinton and Andrew Hughes are handling the case for Washington. This is not the first time Ferguson has sought to intervene in a lawsuit on the side of the federal government. Ferguson has joined several cases to fend off attacks on the Affordable Care Act (ACA), including an attempt to eliminate key cost-sharing subsidies. He has also intervened in an attempt by a coalition of Republican attorneys general to invalidate the entire ACA, which, if successful, could leave hundreds of thousands of Washingtonians without access to affordable health care. In that case, the Trump Administration bluntly declared to the court that it would not defend the ACA. Ferguson also joined 25 states, cities and counties around the nation to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the Obama Administration’s Clean Power Plan.

Business owner? Ask about our business savings rates. Offers available in OR and WA. Portfolio by Wells Fargo® customers are eligible to receive an additional bonus interest rate on these accounts.3 1. To qualify for the advertised APY, you must enroll your new or existing Platinum Savings account in this offer between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 by speaking to a banker and requesting the special rate. Offer is subject to change at any time, without notice, and is available only to Platinum Savings customers in the following states: OR and WA. In order to earn the Special Interest Rate of 1.98% (Special Rate), you must deposit $25,000 in new money to the enrolled savings account and maintain a minimum daily account balance of $25,000 throughout the promotional interest rate period. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes all deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account. As of 05/31/2019, the Standard Interest Rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in OR and WA with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly. The amount of interest earned is based on the daily collected balances in the account. Upon the expiration of the 12 month promotional period, then-current Standard Interest Rates apply. Minimum to open a Platinum Savings account is $25. A monthly service fee of $12 applies in any month the account falls below a $3,500 minimum daily balance. Fees may reduce earnings. Interest rates are variable and subject to change without notice. Wells Fargo may limit the amount you deposit to a Platinum Savings account to an aggregate of $1 million. 2. Available in-branch only; you must speak with a banker to request the special rate. Annual Percentage Yield (APY) is effective for accounts opened between 07/08/2019 and 08/30/2019 and requires a minimum of $25,000 in new money brought to Wells Fargo. “New money” is money from sources outside of the customer’s current relationship with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates (which includes deposit, brokerage and loan/credit accounts). Public Funds and Wholesale accounts are not eligible for this offer. APY assumes interest remains on deposit until maturity. Interest is compounded daily. Payment of interest on CDs is based on term: For terms less than 12 months (365 days), interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or at maturity (the end of the term). For terms of 12 months or more, interest may be paid monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. A penalty for early withdrawal will be imposed and could reduce earnings on this account. Special Rates are applicable to the initial term of the CD only. At maturity, the special rate CD will automatically renew for a term of 6 months, at the interest rate and APY in effect for CDs on renewal date not subject to a Special Rate, unless the Bank has notified you otherwise. 1., 2. Due to the new money requirement, new accounts may only be opened at your local branch and you must speak to a banker to request the special rate offers for both new and existing accounts. Wells Fargo reserves the right to modify or discontinue the offer at any time without notice. Minimum new money deposit requirement of at least $25,000 is for this offer only and cannot be transferred to another account to qualify for any other consumer deposit offer. If you wish to take advantage of another consumer deposit offer requiring a minimum new money deposit, you will be required to do so with another new money deposit as stated in the offer requirements and qualifications. Offer cannot be: • Combined with any other consumer deposit offer. • Reproduced, purchased, sold, transferred, or traded. 3. The Portfolio by Wells Fargo program has a $30 monthly service fee, which can be avoided when you have one of the following qualifying balances: $25,000 or more in qualifying linked bank deposit accounts (checking, savings, CDs, FDIC-insured IRAs) or $50,000 or more in any combination of qualifying linked banking, brokerage (available through Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC) and credit balances (including 10% of mortgage balances, certain mortgages not eligible). If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the bonus interest rate on all eligible savings accounts, and discounts or fee waivers on other products and services, will discontinue and revert to the Bank’s then-current applicable standard interest rate or fee.
