Orca Bay Seafoods will move headquarters to Federal Way Details of proposed new facility emerge BY RAECHEL DAWSON
rdawson@fedwaymirror.com
Documents filed with the city of Federal Way appear to show the Renton-based Orca Bay Seafoods, Inc., will move its headquarters to Federal Way. That is, if the citizens let it. The city of Federal Way
has been flooded with letters, 30 of which were obtained by the Mirror, where writers protested the development of a 314,424-squarefoot warehousing, distribution and processing center located on a forested portion of the former Weyerhaeuser campus. “The whole thing stinks,” wrote Federal Way resident Ann Hardwicke. “By the way, has anyone asked if this
The former Weyerhaeuser campus. File photo kind of facility does give off a stink?” The applicant, Chill Build Seattle, is proposing
the 19-acre site, which will hold Preferred Freezer’s 239,000-square-foot freezer warehouse with offices and docks. An additional 75,000 square feet of seafood processing, offices and dock space will be for Orca Bay Seafoods. The proposed site is located on two parcels, with the addresses 33700 32nd Ave. S. and 3120 S. 344th St., in Federal Way. In a joint announcement
from the two seafood companies, Orca Bay Seafoods CEO Ryan Mackey said “the move to Federal Way and partnership with Preferred Freezer Services provides us an ideal opportunity to improve our operational efficiency and flexibility by consolidating our Bellevue and Renton locations.” Preferred Freezer is headquartered in New Jersey and already operates in 37
locations nationwide. It’s estimated the two seafood facilities will provide 300 new jobs. The proposal includes plans to relocate four of eight small wetlands on or near the property for a total of 8,000-square-feet of land. Developers are working with the Army Corps of Engineers, which is in the [ more ORCA, page 3 ]
Marine Hills a part of Mitch Stewart’s dominant tennis legacy BY JEROD YOUNG jyoung@fedwaymirror.com
It’s good to be the king. After claiming state championships in 2012 and 2013 for Federal Way High School and being the tennis prodigy all Eagles players aspire to be, Mitch Stewart is creating a whole new legacy at the University of Washington. In just his first two seasons with the Huskies, Stewart has expanded his trophy case and his legend in Seattle with notable wins, including winning the singles title at the Jack Kramer Invite. His skills on the court are unquestioned, but it’s his spirit, attitude and drive that make him the leader Washington will need to compete for a championship in 2016.
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
Even though he now makes his home in Seattle, when Stewart closes his eyes he can still describe every distinct detail of the Marine Hills Swim and Tennis Club. It’s where the student learned to become
the master. “It’s two very small tennis courts that are pretty rundown,” Stewart said. “It’s old, it’s dirty, the nets are all messed up.” Lisa and Jerry Stewart have lived in Federal Way for upwards of 23 years now. Stewart said he didn’t have the luxury of growing up with private coaches and lessons, but it turns out he didn’t actually need any of that. His older brother Jake, who’s four years older than Mitch, was all Stewart needed. Mitch grew up watching Jake, who also enjoyed the game, and watching his older brother inspired him to try his own hand at tennis. “When I got old enough, I just wanted to do whatever he did,” Stewart said. “I followed him into it, and he took me out to this scarylooking place, but he’d hit with me, and I kind of owe all of this to him. I give it all to my brother, that’s for sure.” Stewart graduated from the courts at Marine Hills to those at Federal Way High School. He says top athletes in the sport typically won’t play for their high school team because of a lack of quality competition, but
Stewart decided to play for the Eagles because he knew the coach through family friends and knew he’d receive quality coaching. The pre-existing relationship allowed Stewart to play loose and have fun, which resulted in two state championships and one doubles championship. He peaked during his sophomore season, catching the eye of University of Washington tennis coach Matt Anger in the process. “I first saw him at 14,” Anger said. “But it wasn’t until he was 16 that I watched and learned that he really had some physical tools that were just incredible. I knew if we could get him, help him improve his shots, the sky’s the limit for Mitch.” By the end of his senior season at Federal Way, Stewart ranked as high as third in the national Rating Percentage Index, and the college offers came screaming in.
THE ONLY CHOICE THAT MADE SENSE
When Stewart’s time at Federal Way came to an end, he said the next step in his playing career was clear: He was going to be a Husky, and he committed at his first opportunity.
Mitch Stewart celebrates after the Huskies defeat Cal-Poly. Photo courtesy Scott Eklund, Red Box Pictures He was also recruited by Alabama, UCLA and Oregon. Looking back on it now, Stewart wishes he could have gone through his own version of “The Decision,” but he said everything turned out the way he’d hoped. Washington, to him, was the perfect fit. “They were the perfect option for everything I was looking for,” Stewart said. “Now that I’ve been here for two years, It’s been clear I made the right decision.”
THE PEST IS PUT TO
REST
Once Stewart completed the task of becoming a Husky, a lightbulb came on: The swag is free now. Stewart said he began blowing up Anger’s phone with calls and texts about when he could get his hands on the free merchandise. “He just would not quit until he got answers on when he would get some gear,” Anger recalled. “He wasn’t even on campus yet and he was constantly asking about the gear.” Anger decided to have a little fun with the incoming

freshman: He told Stewart he would receive his gear the first day of practice. The day arrived, and Stewart showed up expecting to be showered in purple and gold attire. But when he arrived in the locker room, Stewart was met with some bad news. “Coach called me over and was like, ‘Stew, your stuff had to be placed on back order,’” Stewart recalled. “He said it would be a couple days until it could get here. I was shocked, and [ more STEWART, page 2 ]

Since arriving to the Huskies program in 2014, Stewart picked up where he left off – atop the mountain. In two seasons, Stewart’s list of accomplishments is a mile long. As a freshman, Stewart reached the Round of 16 in singles at the Intercollegiate Tennis Association regional championships, and was named to positions one and two in singles play. There was no sophomore slump for Stewart, either. He finished that season as a singles finalist at the 2015 National Collegiate Tennis Classic, was ranked every week by the ITA, finished second on the team with 21 singles victories, was an All-Academic Pac-12 Honorable Mention and was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team. But despite the accolades, Anger said Stewart’s game needed some work upon his arrival in Seattle. “Usually the guys that go from juniors to college can serve really well,” Anger said. “And his serve, if you were to list his top five strengths, his serve was not one of them. “He exceeded expectations because we’d hit balls with him and he’d just keep going and going until we got it where we wanted it.” The work Stewart put in earned him the No. 62 ranking in the nation in the preseason poll his sophomore year. He finished the season inside the top 100 at No. 78. Through his first two seasons, Stewart is 38-20 in singles play and 11-14 in doubles play. He’s faced a wide variety of opponents, including current professional player and former UCLA Bruin Mackenzie McDonald. But Stewart insists he works each and every day with the toughest opponent he’s every played. “Coach Anger, for sure,” Stewart said. “He can hit the ball pretty well. He’ll run the s—-
Anger’s favorite Stewart moment thus far came during the closing moments of the Huskies’ upset over No. 8-ranked USC. Stewart’s match was still going, and in the middle of the set he learned the Huskies had clinched the win. Anger said he’ll remember Stewart’s reaction for as long as he can. “He stopped and threw his racket in the air,” Anger said. “He ran over, he’s hugging me, hugging the next guy, and he’s still in the middle of his match. “Mitch is somebody that has really grown from being around this team,” Anger said. “He’s just a loyal person, and my heart goes to him because you don’t get to see how he pores his heart out for everyone else.”
DEDICATED – WITH AN EYE ON THE FUTURE
The road for a pro tennis player is a bumpy one. Unless you have superior talent, breaking in to the Association of Tennis Professionals can be tough – “a brutal life,” as Stewart describes it. Players, Stewart said, make very little money until they’re able to crack the top 100 rankings. “They might set you up with a hotel,” Stewart said. “But that’s about it. You basically have to pay for everything else, and that can be really hard when you first start out because you have no sponsors, either.” This is the road Stewart looks forward to once his two final seasons at Washington end. But if pro tennis doesn’t work out, he’s got a plan for that, too. It all goes back to the gear it took so long to get his hands on. Stewart can’t stay away from tennis fashion, and if playing doesn’t work out, he might just reign in the kingdom of the next generation of tennis apparel for Nike. “The dream would be to go to Portland and work for Nike if playing didn’t work out,” Stewart said. “Getting to watch the game and help it evolve through Nike would be the dream job.”

Our new face is a fish warehouse? The Weyerhaeuser property has been the face of Federal Way for decades; a regional image that many cities envied. A place that lived its legend and embodied the best in Northwest culture. It proved business, jobs and the environment could live as one. But times change, and Weyerhaeuser went to the big city. We felt jilted by the business, but the land was still here and our sense of ownership rivaled any actual title holder. As stewards of our land and our future, we trusted our leaders to share that affection and see the potential for the property that we saw – that any proud parent would see. The reflection of our community when viewed through regional eyes has not been kind. Our sports teams achieved success, but shootings and assaults gave us new nicknames that we despise. We hoped and prayed for months that whomever replaced Weyerhaeuser would become our new signature business. With such a spectacular gem of forest, ponds, gardens and views, the Weyerhaeuser property could be our savior. A brand new front yard was on the horizon and would provide the beacon we needed to attract new corporate interest and restore our tarnished image. Mayor Jim Ferrell and City Council members talked of grandness. A college campus was imagined, and visions of Hollywood stardom danced through our heads as the city’s Economic Development Director whetted our appetites with the notion of movie studios moving in and making motion pictures. The new owners hinted at a hightech complex that we saw as enhancing the natural setting. Take that Seattle! Take that Tacoma! Take that Redmond! We will be stars! No more second-Bob Roegner

Mirror readers respond to Orca Bay Seafood’s proposed move to former Weyerhaeuser campus How ironic that the Federal Way Mirror’s Aug. 12 “Green Edition” would headline the application of Orca Bay Seafood as the first proposal to occupy the former Weyerhaeuser corporate site. Fish processing in our city is neither “green” nor what the city and Weyerhaeuser agreed to for use in Corporate Park Zoning in the 1994 annexation agreement. Additionally, traffic, noise and air pollution (fish smells) are not compatible with the health and well-being of our citizens. Write the Federal Way Director of Community Development at 33325 8th Ave. S., Federal Way, WA 98003, by Aug. 22 and let them know you do not support manufacturing facilities in the “green” Corporate Park Zoning the Weyer-
class for us! We waited with bated breath to see what our leaders would bring us. As our self-induced moment of theatrics continued, we heard the drumroll in the background as our anticipation grew. Then the announcement was made! The first parcel to be developed that would define the NEW FEDERAL WAY would be… A fish warehouse? Oh, we had heard the rumors and shouldn’t have gotten our hopes up. But it was still unbelievable. Almost shocking in its humiliation. Is this the “branding” of our community that our city government spent thousands of dollars to achieve? Clear-cutting our forests and filling in almost sacred wetlands, to be replaced with a sevenstory manufacturing plant accompanied by parking for over 300 cars and 35 trucks! Federal Way isn’t the Tacoma tide flats, and this isn’t a
previously zoned industrial area similar to the Auburn-Kent valley where this type of enterprise is expected and planned for. Surely our Mayor and City Council wouldn’t allow this travesty! But Ferrell said the proposed development falls under current zoning. If so, that likely means the acting director of the Planning Department, whose background is building code enforcement and not planning and environmental review, may be stretching the interpretation of “light industrial” zoning to allow it to fit. Our future regional business image should be more important than a quick, hollow deal that fits a political timetable instead of our needs. In our musing moments of anticipation, did anyone really wish for a fish plant? Beyond leaving our desires for a game-chang[ more ROEGNER page 6 ]

Richard Pierson, Federal Way
Recently in the Federal Way Mirror was an article about the notice of master land use application for the Orca Bay Seafood project. The comments were disturbing and typical in today’s political climate – If you scream and yell loud enough, you get your way because the majority remains silent because they don’t want to be criticized for their opinion. I believe this project will be a great benefit to our city, and that the taxes collected will help fund current and future community-based projects. Our city needs jobs locally, not just a transit system to transport everyone to Seattle or Tacoma. Our city will never prosper as a bedroom community alone. Most businesses help build a better community.
Our community has added an abundance of new housing units in the last few years. Some of those people are just starting out. Some are trying to establish a consistent work record to be able to move up to a higherpaying job. Whatever the reason, we need jobs in this community so people can have pride in accomplishment instead of just receiving resources to take care of their families. I look at this as a building block to eventually entice other businesses to invest in our community. If we continue to tell businesses we are not willing to work with them for a common goal, they’ll take the hint and continue to invest elsewhere. Some of the comments in this article talk about cutting down the trees and relocating wetlands and traffic. The new property owner will have to abide by the same codes as you would. The land use review will address every concern you have. Access to Highway 18 and Interstate 5 at this site will keep the ma-
jority of the impact on side streets to a minimum. They will have to keep some trees, and there is a percentage of landscape required to have parking on their property. The surface water management codes will help protect Hylebos Creek. The law is the law, and the city will hold them to it – same as you. If you don’t like the codes, feel free to run for public office and help shape our community’s future. Another option is to buy land yourself, and as the landowner, do as you choose to the letter of the law. Voice your concerns, but don’t just complain about a company bringing jobs to our city because you’re afraid of change. Change is going to happen. My family moved here in 1967. Some of the changes in Federal Way have been good, some bad, but this is my home and I thought this might be the time to share my opinion. Feel free to attack an opposing view now.
Lance Boe, Federal Way
What are you thinking, Federal Way?! A fish factory is not the answer to the many problems we already have! With all these apartments, the horrible crime, over-crowded schools, food businesses everywhere and no roads available for these kinds of additions to our community, where are you going to start to fix these issues? I believe that you are trying too hard to make this city something that most of us don’t want. Please think about the roads, access, etc., that could become a problem if this “fish factory” comes to our beautiful Weyerhaeuser property.
Leona Colbeth, Federal Way Last Friday, the Mirror reported that Orca Bay Seafood of Renton filed a notice of master land use application for the former Weyerhaeuser property. Although the article said 275 jobs would be coming to Federal Way, how many of those will actually be current jobs that are being relocated to this operation?

minimum wage, their wages are not considered livable and sustainable for someone who lives in Federal Way for the majority of jobs they provide. What about traffic impact this type of operation will bring? Hundreds more semi trucks daily into our city, not to mention employee traffic. This will further add to congestion issues that are plaguing Federal Way and South King County. Not to mention the North Lake neighborhood. If we’re going to sacrifice historical trees in our city for growth, let’s make sure the payoff is worth it and make sure it fits into our city’s branding and character, as well as makes logistical sense. I think we need to throw this fish back and do a little more fishing.

tecturally significant office building that should not be denigrated by the construction of what is sure to be an ugly and ordinary rectangular warehouse built by a cookie-cutter New Jerseybased builder of freezer warehouses all over the world. With clear-cutting, wetland-filling and parking for 310 cars and 35 tractor trailers, the entire development and the adjacent North Lake neighborhood will be adversely affected. This is the type of development that should take place in an industrial location, like the Tacoma flatlands, not one that – along with the office buildings across the street on Weyerhaeuser Way – is best describe as an office park/ campus. As usual, our spineless politicians from the Mayor on down will justify this travesty by rationalizing that it will create a few low-end warehouse jobs and not the middle- to upper-income jobs that Federal Way professes it wants to attract.

Lake Jeane: Status quo or action by the city? During the July 19 Federal Way City Council meeting, Brian Wilson, Federal Way’s Chief of Staff, indicated that the Twin Lakes Golf & Country Club, the owner of Lake Jeane, had a new plan and permit to treat Lake Jeane in 2016. Phil Matonti, the club’s VP, referenced the permit in a letter that appeared in the Aug. 5 Mirror. The following information clarifies pertinent perspectives, the proposed plan and applicable questions. First, the 2016 water samples were taken at significant the Port of Seattle during rush periods? And if they think Highway 18 to I-90 will be faster than from Renton? What will the State Department of Transportation have to say? What will be the environmental impact? Will the plant operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Will there be food service on-site? If so, their workers are not likely to leave work to eat in our restaurants and do a little shopping while they’re out. And what about those family-wage jobs the public has been so insistent about? What will any of these jobs pay? But residents have a bigger worry. This parcel is only a small portion of the full 430 acres. This is the first domino and will set the tone for future development of the property. Already we hear of another warehouse
algae on the lake. Fifth, the effort to seek resolution to the lack of action by the club’s leadership for the toxic conditions began in April 2015. The quest of the residents’ designated representatives to meet and discuss with the club board was rejected — a missed opportunity to actually communicate! Sixth, in recent years, the club has not demonstrated the actions of a good shepherd for Lake Jeane or a good neighbor in Twin Lakes. As the “owner” of the lake, the club has not used its existing permit to protect its closest neighbors from exposure to hazardous circumstances. Lastly, the proposed permitted action requested by the club in 2016 is faulty. The proposal calls for a one-time limited treatment to only a small portion of the lake (5 percent of the 10-acre lake). The intent is to experimentally demonstrate a reduction of the scum’s odor. Such an experiment is not adequate after three years of delayed reaction because 95 percent of the lake will remain untreated and subject to toxic condi-
tions for the remainder of the 2016 summer season. The club seems to consider the limited experiment to be the only path forward. The demonstrated research can actually be proven if conducted on the club’s No. 3 pond, which is also plagued by the same toxic conditions as Lake Jeane. Questions remain: Is it to be expected that the Lake Jeane residents must continue to abide by the club’s and the city’s decisions to allow health-hazard conditions to exist at each lakeside back door? How is the city going to address this unnecessary residential blight versus tolerating the current status quo? What is the specific advice offered by the city’s elected officials to the Lake Jeane lakeside residents if no action is taken by the City during this 2016 summer season? This matter has been before the City Council since February. Lake Jeane residents are awaiting specific answers from city officials! When will they be provided?
whose footprint could rival Husky Stadium. How many first-class medical, business or corporate headquarters want to follow this lead? These developers were said to be well-connected in their home state, California. They couldn’t sell companies on trading smog, high prices and traffic jams worse than ours and moving to the great Northwest? Or is this what they think of us? Over the last several months, the Mayor and City Council have scheduled two emergency meetings of the City Council for politically advantageous reasons, even though neither was needed to obtain public input. But Ferrell’s comments suggest the city will try and make the property fit into current zoning to avoid a public hearing, even though the websites and coffeehouses are already burning up
with angry comments and questions from citizens who don’t agree with Ferrell’s “positive development for our city” viewpoint. The city only gave residents until Aug. 22 to present written comments. But since the public just found out about the proposed land use, the city should extend the deadline and call for a formal Council Public Hearing to gather input to be used by the city planning staff in its review. Even though that could open the door for a wider appeal process, which the city clearly has no interest in hearing. Ferrell needed some type of construction on the property prior to next year’s election season as a political defense against criticisms of Weyerhaeuser leaving on his watch. But rather than reduce potential candidates for office, this announcement, and how the city responds, might attract them. Some Council
members may support the Mayor’s viewpoint, but others are said to be exploring options. Councilman Mark Koppang seemed to sum up the opposing view, saying, “We don’t want Weyerhaeuser Way to become Warehouse Way.” The new, big issue could be a candidate’s vision of the future of Federal Way that’s much different than where the city is currently headed. Which candidates want to run on the platform that their vision of our city’s new dynamic future starts with a fish warehouse?

scum sites by the residents, as were the photos. Several photos were provided via email by Don Smith in July to Matonti to be shared with the club’s leadership. Second, the validity of the sampling was challenged because of previous permit activity sponsored by me. The Twin Lakes HOA board assumed I’d indicated that I was a member of the Board, but I’d only indicated I was a member of the HOA and that the lakeside residents were a subset (40 of 1,356) of the total members of the HOA. Third, the signage explanation mentioned by Matonti was misleading. The posting is required by state guidelines to be posted by local health officials or the owner of the lake. It is a required action, not a voluntary action, when measurable toxic conditions exist. Fourth, the garbage analogy was presented as an example of a current public nuisance ordinance provision. The intent was to demonstrate that no action for a garbage pile was similar to no action being taken to control hazardous blue-green

Not only did I finally begin enjoying the piano, I was also able to do lots of cool things: Like playing in parties or jamming with friends. Before this, it used to take a long time to learn just one music piece. With chords, learning lots of new tunes became easy. And these were songs that I loved and always wanted to play!
“So nice to be able to find a piano at a friend’s house and be able to sit down and play full sounding popular songs. Thank you for giving me the gift of music!” ---Gord Hopkins, 61

‘Election Season’ here through Nov. 11 There are generally two types of people who talk about politics around times like these. The first are those who say things like, “I can’t wait for the election season to be over. The signs everywhere and it never ends in the news and in every online discussion. It’s awful.” The other types rebuff the first, saying something akin to, “Election seasons are important, how politicians campaign is fascinating, and everyone should get involved. It’s great.” The two camps both make compelling arguments, and I can see merit in the views of the first camp despite acknowledging my place in the second. To honor both of those views, the Mirror is introducing a new — and temporary — section called, fittingly, “Election Season.” The introduction of this section serves a few purposes. For the first camp, it will help keep political and election-related news out of other sections of the paper and away from the local news and announcements that gets them to read in the first place. But for the latter group, the section will consolidate the details and updates that paint pictures of how candidates are running, why they’re running, and what’s needed for them to win. It’s here to cater to you, not necessarily those in the first camp who have no interest in such things, so it will let us look at policy positions, campaign finance, engagement opportunities and candidate spotlights with a touch more depth than might be relevant to a different reader. We’re starting it this year, it’s worth nothing, for somewhat selfish reasons: While 2016 offers a packed local ballot — check out the handy ballot preview in this section — with both House seats up for grabs and a couple statewide offices being pursued by Federal Wayans, it’s not going to hold a candle to the number of local races coming up next year. In 2017, three of the seven City Council seats will open up, the State Senate seat representing us will be in play, and the biggest prize in the city, the relatively new Federal Way Mayor’s office, will head into its third-ever election. And so, in advance of next year’s free-for-all, we can use this year’s election season to try out Election Season. Let us know if it works and we can again consolidate election coverage next year; let us know if it doesn’t and we can go back to sprinkling it throughout the rest of the Mirror. I’m open, at editor@fedwaymirror.com, to hear your thoughts. Jason Ludwig is the editor of the Federal Way Mirror. He can be reached at 253-292-2309 or editor@fedwaymirror.com. Jason Ludwig

R O TA R Y C L U B O F F E D E R A L WAY Could This Be YOU? It could be if you are part of “an organization of business and professional people united worldwide which provides humanitarian service, encourages high ethical standards in all vocations and helps build goodwill and peace in the world.” Is this “ideal of service” appealing to you? This opportunity is available to you if you put “Service Above Self” and desire to join a group where every member is a positive role model for young people. Where everyone is involved in Community Service, from helping to house and feed the homeless to providing a Christmas shopping trip so kids who are without can have a happy holiday. A local team that awards over 25 college scholarships annually, supports local community gardens, and has sponsored the playground at Steel Lake Park and the new Splash Park at City Center. Our worldwide organization took the lead in the effort to eradicate Polio and has partnered with the Gates Foundation and World Vision to wipe out Malaria and undertake other similarly-ambitious World Community Service projects. If you desire an opportunity to add value to the lives of others, consider membership in the Rotary Club of Federal Way as a vehicle to achieve your goals. And yes, that picture could just be you! “He Profits Most Who Serves Best” Rotary is 1.2 million neighbors, friends, and community leaders who come together to create positive, lasting change in our communities and around the world. If you want to share the fun and fellowship in Federal Way and help improve the lives of everyone around us, contact Layne Barndt at (206) 571-8470.

Technicians work with prescribed drugs, sometimes without binding agents because of patient allergies, and many are often put into trans-dermal gels, suspensions, “chewies,” lollipops, lotions and more. Because the practice is unique, Park hopes she can spread her passion to others to keep it alive. In fact, she has plans with the University of Washington’s School of Pharmacy to host a resident program by July of next year. She’d also like to partner with other organizations, as well as the Federal Way school district, to foster attraction in the field. Although Park is looking toward the future, she runs her business with guiding principles so her team is always working toward a positive environment. Using the tips in Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,” Park encourages her employees to recognize principles in action. Some of these include being proactive, having a purpose, maintaining a positive attitude, and showing integrity, loyalty and teamwork. “You’re in it for something,” she said. “You’ve

Q&A with Mr. FW: Fish plants and Seahawks Q
: Mr. Federal Way, I live not far from the former Weyerhaeuser campus and am opposed to the seafood processing plant on 19 acres of that property. I have a neighbor, not far from me, who’s also expressed their thoughts with a sign in their yard that says “NO SEAFOOD PLANT.” But I want your thoughts on this, and I’m wondering if there are other locals that feel the way my neighbor and I do. A: Mr. Federal Way suspects you’ve never appreciated a quality salmon-skin roll. But in seriousness, this one’s a tough nut to crack. Federal Wayans really have two ways to respond to it: with the practical approach and with the emotional approach. The practical side of Mr. Federal Way, which is not Mr. Federal Way’s best side,
says the fish plant isn’t an entirely terrible thing. The fact is, any type of plant, be it scaly or lumbery or computer-chip-y, can put some of the down-ontheir-luck residents of our fair city back to work. It looks like the new, perhapspungent business will create around 275 new jobs. So Mr. Federal Way gets it. A bunch of folks were hoping for a college campus or some business that would provide middle- to upperincome jobs, but a job, for may folks, is a job. And so, proving that even Mr. Federal Way can occasionally appreciate the songs coming up from below his mountaintop cave and have his withered heart grow three times its normal size, he’ll say that he actually agrees with Mayor Jim Ferrell when hizzoner sings about the fishy firm’s movein being a positive development. There are certain
Victim hit in face with Playstation CRIME
This week’s…
ALERT
Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Suspects assault, rob Jack in the Box customer: At 10:08 p.m. on Aug. 8 at 32100 21st Ave. SW, a victim was going to Jack in the Box when he was cut off by a black sedan. Four males got out of the sedan and “ripped” the victim from his vehicle, assaulted him, and took his wallet and cell phone. The victim told police he was unable to provide a description of the suspects or their vehicle. Police deemed the case inactive after they exhausted all leads. Couple arrested for drugs: At 11:54 a.m. on Aug. 9 in the 28800 block of Military Road South, a man and woman were arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia. After their arrest, police searched them and found the man had 3.7 grams of heroin, baggies, and a scale used for weighing drugs. The woman was cited and released and the man was transported to the police station where he was processed and released. Strange delivery: At 11:49 a.m. on Aug. 9 in the 2300 block of Southwest 339th St., a person reported an unknown man made a peculiar delivery. He delivered a manila envelope with an old microwave popcorn bag inside. He presented himself as a delivery person and asked the person to sign for the package. The package had the reporting party’s name and address written on it and said it was from a fake company, Globalgift. The person
had never seen the man before and doesn’t know why he got this “suspicious package.”There were no suspicious substances inside the package, but police booked it into evidence and deemed the case inactive. Voyeur gets away: At 4:36 p.m. on Aug. 10 at 2100 SW 356th St., police contacted a man who was believed to be watching female baristas from a distance and masturbating. The officer who spoke to him saw towels and rags next to him but noted he was not “actively masturbating.”The suspect told police he was “people watching,” which is not considered a crime. Police documented the case for informational purposes only. Identifications dropped off at church: At 9:20 p.m. on Aug. 10 in the 1600 block of South 320th Street, the wife of a pastor at Nine Lakes Baptist Church called to report finding five expired driver’s licenses, a certified copy of a birth certificate and seven random business cards on the church’s porch. She tried to contact the Department of Licensing to find a phone directory and attempted an internet search but couldn’t locate a phone number. Police booked the cards and documents into evidence. Gang tags graffitied on fence: At 12:18 p.m. on Aug. 11 in the 2300 block of South 278th Court, a resident discovered spray-painted gang tags along the length of her cedar fence facing the street. The tags were spray-painted in blue and black and referenced “South 13” and “west hill.” Police contacted a neighbor across the street who informed officers that her boyfriend has a camera facing the street that recorded a group of juveniles painting the fence at about 11 p.m. the
tax benefits, after all, and Mr. Federal Way needs as many of those as he can get. It’ll help finance his future charitable acts, like maybe giving Christmas back to those insufferable squirts in Whoville. On the other hand, Mr. Federal Way knows that this is a decision that will set our fair city back. The area surrounding the Weyerhaeuser compound is pretty. Real pretty. And it’s looking like it’ll soon stink like a two-day-old fish in the sun. Also, if something like a fish plant was not originally in the plan as far as aesthetics go for the city, why didn’t city officials fight harder to prevent this from happening? And what does
the warehouse part of the plant mean when it comes to traffic, with all the trucks and service personnel going to and fro? Mr. Federal Way already considers driving around town to be barely more convenient than getting around by hitching a ride in the back of a flatbed hauling decayed fish heads. He’ll think about putting up his own allcaps yard sign. This whole thing sounds good on a very thin surface. New business and new opportunity means new attention on the city. However, like Ma Federal Way always used to say: If it raises more questions than answers, it’s probably not the best idea. Q: Mr. Federal Way, what was your impres-
previous night. Burglars hit victim in face with Playstation: At 8:58 p.m. on Aug. 11 in the 400 block of South 321st Place, unknown burglars entered a victim’s residence while the victim was gone. The victim returned home to see the suspects were inside. A male suspect displayed a knife and threatened the victim. The victim was hit in the face with a Playstation 4 and the suspects fled the scene. Homeless man stabs drinking partner: At 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 12 in the 34700 block of 1st Avenue South, a victim walked into St. Francis Hospital to report he had been a victim of a stabbing that occurred in a wooded area north of Winco. While drinking with the suspect, the victim said he got into an argument and the suspect punched him before stabbing him three times on the left leg. The victim said he only knows the suspect by his nickname and doesn’t know where the suspect lives because he is homeless. Fraudulent check sent through mail: At 11:51 a.m. on Aug. 13 in the 3000 block of South 288th Street, a resident reported receiving an envelope from a postal employee. Inside the envelope was a check from a company called Association of Corporate Travel Executives in the amount of $2,350 that was made out to the resident. A note inside the envelope told the victim to text a phone number for further instructions. The victim texted the number but didn’t receive a return text. She called the company, but they told her to report the incident to police because there is an ongoing investigation for fraud. Police booked the envelope and check into evidence. Woman committed after McDonald’s ruckus: At 4:54 p.m. on Aug. 13 in the 2000 block of South 320th Street, a woman was involuntarily committed after she was observed yelling at her boyfriend at McDonald’s. Police found her to be “extremely intoxicated” and intervened, telling the two to go their separate ways. The woman
walked into traffic twice, causing cars to stop suddenly to avoid hitting her, then attempted to run after her boyfriend by running into traffic once more. During this, she yelled at him aggressively.
sion of the Seahawks after their first preseason game? A: It’s too early for Mr. Federal Way to offer his expert, six-figure opinion, but from his palatial mountaintop cave, Mr. Federal Way saw an offensive line that’s going to make him burn right through his best — and worst — beer at a record pace. Also, it looks like that Trevone Boykin kid is onto something, so kudos to the Osprey for picking him up. The Google says Boykin is also a fan of the demon rum and likes to play tag with police officers. If he can just find a nice couch to sit on, get a quality Netflix queue booted up, and stick to throwing footballs at receivers instead of throwing punches at badges, Seattle might have found itself a diamond in the rough. And, Mr. Federal Way wants to know why the ageless Steven Hauschka never gets attention. The man is older than Mr. Federal Way
and kicks the football like no other. I get that there’s next to no physical contact at the kicker position, but the man converted 93 percent of his chances and gave the Seahawks 127 of their points last season. He converted 18 points from 50 yards or more last year! The guy’s foot is golden. It deserves a locker room of its own. What the man needs is a pop star singer to find him attractive: If that’s what it’s going to take to get you all to start talking about him as a leader of the ‘Hawks, then Mr. Federal Way would like to offer his services as the first member of the search committee. #GetHauschkaAPopStar Q: Mr. Federal Way, are you doing anything for Labor Day? A: None of your business.
Couple does drugs behind restaurant: At 5:59 p.m. on Aug. 14 at 1928 S. Commons, Red Robin management called police to report a male and female who were using drugs behind the restaurant. One
suspect was arrested for trespassing on mall property. During a search, police found the suspect to be in possession of drug paraphernalia associated with smoking and injecting heroin.
