EFFORTS RENEWED FOR WARHOL FLOWER ATOP THE TACOMA DOME BATTLE BETWEEN LOVE AND JOHNSON HEADED TO RECOUNT BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
BY MATT NAGLE matt@tacomaweekly.com
The campaign to paint an Andy Warhol flower on the roof of the Tacoma Dome is back in the news again, with a newly launched GoFundMe effort currently underway. This comes after staff at the Tacoma Dome recently issued another Requests for Proposal (RFP) for a company who could clean the Dome roof – “again,” says
longtime Tacoma resident and community supporter Dan Voelpel, who is organizing the fundraising efforts. “The Dome’s original covering can’t stay clean,” Voelpel said. “Just look at it. All the seams are gritty and grimy. Within months of the Dome opening in 1983, its roof already appeared faded due to dirt having accumulated on it. Dome leaders have explored a lot of cleaning ideas – a giant wand, similar to a windshield wiper; a riding mower with its blades replaced
by scrubbers; paint engineered to mimic the ultra-slick lotus leaf so the dirt would simply rinse away. Enough. Let’s recapture our prime directives.” Also a columnist for South Sound Business Magazine, Voelpel has a unique platform there to publicize all aspects of what is more than a nice decoration for the Dome. It would be the only art installation of its kind in the world, which is quite significant, and up u See DOME / page 4
It appears that the race for one seat on Tacoma City Council will be need a recount to determine who will advance to the general election in November. Results of the primary election were certified on Aug. 20. In the race for atlarge position 7, currently held by Councilmember Connor McCarthy, he came in first place with 14,039 votes, or 53.35 percent. Courtney Love is sitting in a distant second place with 6,101 votes, or 23.18 percent, with Brett Johnson having received 6,089 votes, or 23.14 percent. The threshold to trigger a manual hand recount is when the difference is less than one-quarter of one percent. This would fall within the threshold of a machine recount, which is one half of 1 percent. McCarthy leads in the fundraising category, having raised more than $65,000

CITY EXAMINING EFFORTS TO IMPROVE WORKFORCE SAFETY BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
In an effort to improve the safety of the workforce, as well as control costs of treating on-the-job injuries, the cCty of Tacoma has embarked on a citywide safety initiative. Tacoma City Council heard an update on the topic during the
Aug. 20 study session. The presenters were Cheryl Bidleman, assistant human resources director of Tacoma Public Utilities; John Lawrence, utility technology services director for TPU; and Matthew Janzow, a management analyst for the city. They shared information that reveals City of Tacoma workers are injured at a

higher rate than their peers in all local governments in the United States and Washington, as well as the private sectors. The injury incident rate per 100 fulltime employees in Tacoma is 7.2, compared to five for all local governments in the nation, 6.2 for local governments in the state and four in the private sector. The average Tacoma worker injured on the job misses 2.4 days of work, just about 2.3 for other local governments. On average, two injured Tacoma workers require a job transfer or a restriction on duties he or she can perform, a rate that is under one for the other employer categories. From 2014 to 2018, the city spent $26.5 million on worker compensation claims, which “is nothing to sneeze at,” said Lawrence. On average, the city spends $9,000 on an injury claim, with the average time loss claim being $23,000. To reduce the number of injuries, and the cost to taxpayers to treat those injuries, the TPU director and city manager and their staff are overseeing collaboration and engagement at all levels of general government as well as TPU. The executive leadership has prioritized eight safety objectives. The focus right now is on three of the goals. The first is to research, design and recommend a framework for safety, including reporting and governance
structure, roles, goals and expectations. The second is to create and implement a recruiting and hiring strategy for a senior level safety professional who will lead the city-wide safety effort. The third is to identity strengths and recommend improvements and/or additions to the existing safety program. Bidleman explained the concept of a Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis. The city conducted five of these, collecting feedback from employees across the city government. This feedback was compared to safety and health guidelines of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Bidleman said the findings were, unfortunately, not surprising. Lawrence explained the next step of recruiting for a person to serve as safety director for the city, along with plans for additional education and outreach. Staff will identify a funding source during upcoming budget adjustments. Code revisions are also being developed. Councilmember Lillian Hunter said she would like more information about how many injuries occur, their severity and how long any employees spend being treated in a hospital. Councilmember Keith Blocker asked what is the most common type of injuries. Lawrence said they are soft tissue injuries and sprains and strains.

RAINIERS FANS GIVE KING FELIX A ROYAL WELCOME Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez made a Major League rehab start with the Tacoma Rainiers on Monday night at Cheney Stadium. The Rainiers hosted the Salt Lake Bees, Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels, in what was Hernandez’s second appearance with the club this season. Hernandez, recovering from a Grade 1 lat strain suffered in May, went three innings of one-run ball with five punchouts, getting removed in the fourth after walking consecutive hitters to start the frame. The 33-year-old threw 69 pitches, including 41 strikes, and allowed four hits and three walks in his outing. On Wednesday, the Rainiers and Bees were tied, 2-2, with one out in the top of the fifth inning when home plate umpire Nick Mahrley signaled for the tarp, and the rubber match of the three-game series was officially cancelled 43 minutes later. Statistics for the game are unofficial, although Tacoma (58-69) first baseman Ryan Court obliterated an opposite field home run off the scoreboard in the third inning, evening the score at 2 apiece.

the city’s “curb appeal” like nothing else could. “Make no mistake about it, this is a business, tourism and economic development initiative,” he told the Tacoma Weekly. “Think about the international interest and tourism that would be generated by placing the Warhol flower on the Dome.” In addition to reenergizing the community around the Warhol concept and building momentum, the GoFundMe campaign seeks to raise $10,000 as the seed money necessary for arts organizations in Tacoma to take on the much more robust $5 million fundraising campaign, Voelpel explained. The City of Tacoma has said in the past that it supports the Warhol concept but doesn’t want to INE HOME BABY fund it with tax dollars. “While I would support a modest investment by the City for reasons to include further protection of the roof of the Dome (which needs to be improved and
ME
protected any way) and for economic development/marketing Tacoma reasons, I would require the vast majority of the funding be from private foundations (such as the Warhol Foundation), non-profits, individuals and businesses,” said Tacoma City Council member Ryan Mello. Mello does think that the Warhol flower initiative is worth working on, saying that it would contribute to the synergy that the city is creating to reinvest in downtown, with the Arts District, Theater District and University of Washington-Tacoma, to name a few. “We have spent a considerable amount of public and private dollars to use the arts to be the underpinning of reinvestment and renewal of downtown Tacoma – this would contribute to that longstanding initiative. Furthermore, Tacoma Dome is probably the most iconic structure in Tacoma and one that hundreds of thousands of people drive by each day.” WINE BABY Mello said that impressions are everything and Tacoma continues to need to work to improve the city’s impression for people who do not know Tacoma yet.
WINE
“This is a great city with great neighborhoods, an amazing waterfront, great schools and other assets. So many outsiders still relate Tacoma with the ‘Aroma of Tacoma.’ Initiatives like this can help reframe interest in Tacoma to one of a safe, interesting and attractive place to visit, live and work.” If the roof redo effort fails to happen after two years, funds would go to Tacoma Creates, the voter-approved initiative to make the arts more accessible to underserved youth. Voelpel pointed to last year’s boon for local arts when Tacoma voters supported the Tacoma Creates arts initiative on the November ballot with more than 67 percent of the vote in favor
of a sales tax increase. “That’s an undeniably clear indication of how the people of Tacoma feel about their support of the arts and access to arts for underserved communities in this city,” he said. “That speaks volumes. With that kind of community support, the arts institutions in town – if they choose to – could easily raise the funds to make the Warhol flower on the Tacoma Dome campaign a reality. We just need to give a little push.” To make your donation, visit www. gofundme.com/redo-tacoma-domeroof-with-warhol-flower.

ELECTRONIC POWER TRIO YAK ATTACK PLAYS MCMENAMINS
YAKATTACKMUSIC.COM
Yak Attack uses live loops, tight chops, and raw improvisation to build high-energy dance music that's rooted in breakbeat, electro-funk and trip-hop.
Live electronic power trio Yak Attack, hailing from Portland, is on the rise thanks to exuberant performances across the country that convert the most casual fans into followers. Their live show is musically sophisticated but widely accessible, and they're supported by a growing army of engaged fans willing to make long drives for their next musical fix. Best described as "organic electronica,” Yak Attack uses live loops, tight chops, and raw improvisation to build high-energy dance music that's rooted in breakbeat, electro-funk and trip-hop from scratch, where every uplifting note is played and recorded live. Yak Attack was founded when Dave Dernovsek (keys), a Colorado/New York transplant with a competitive classical piano background, met Row-
an Cobb (bass), who was building a name for himself in the Portland live music scene as a founding member of numerous successful touring bands. The two shared an interest in creating a livetronica project – Dave had been experimenting with various loop-based setups for years, and Rowan's prior electronic band, Alpaca!, had just broken up. The two met Nick Werth (drums) at one of the group's early shows. Nick had quickly built his musical reputation from his stellar abilities at the drum set, as well as his family connection to the band Snarky Puppy (his brother Nate plays percussion in that group, and Nick currently plays in Ghost Note, featuring Nate and Sput among other Snarky members). Initially a fan of the band, Nick was touring full time with local legend Scott Pemberton's band,
but found time to guest on percussion and xylosynth at various Yak Attack shows, laying down some tracks on the band's first album, “Real World Conditions,” which was released in 2015. With the departure of the group's original drummer in early 2016, Rowan and Dave asked Nick to take the drum set full time, and the current Yak Attack lineup was born. Yak Attack's 2018 album, “Safety Third,” was released via Philadelphia's storied label, Ropeadope Records, founded by John Medeski. It embodies what they have become known for – a continuous DJstyle dance party played with all real instruments. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, and the mix of electro-funk, pop, and house is augmented by a world-class roster of guest musicians. The result is the band's warmest and fullest-sounding record yet, with horns, strings, and winds complimenting signature pulsing synth-driven grooves. From the gritty opening riff of "Pump and Dump" to the infectious synth-pop vocals on "Hear the Sound,” to the full Yakestra wall of sound on "Eighth Wonder," “Safety Third” is crafted to be an album you'll want to listen to over and over again. The band has performed at festivals like Treefort Fest, Joshua Tree Music Festival, WaveSpell, Summer Meltdown and Northwest String Summit, while also establishing itself as leaders of the after party following acts like Phish. They have shared the stage with STS9, Snarky Puppy, Fruition, Lotus, Sunsquabi, TAUK, Turkuaz as well as members of String Cheese Incident & Thievery Corporation, among many others. Yak Attack plays the Spanish Ballroom at McMenamins Elks Tempe on Friday, Aug. 30. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the all-ages show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 advance, $15 day of show and available at https://tinyurl.com/y4uuutq4.

When it comes to cannabis, safety is essential. It can be hard even for adults to see when edible treats include THC. That’s why cannabis-infused products can be dangerous for those who may think it’s regular food. Some teens may even search for cannabis products at home. But you can keep everyone—from kids to pets—out of risk by storing your cannabis safely. So, keep your cannabis where kids can’t reach, in original packaging, and with “Not for Kids” labels intact.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PROTECTING RENTERS create more affordable housing and reform the system where we can.
BY REP. JAKE FEY Housing is a fundamental, kitchen-table issue that affects all of our families. The rapid changes in our housing market are also causing ripple effects throughout Tacoma, Pierce County and the entire state of Washington. Half of the working population of Pierce County now commutes north every day to work in King County due to the skyrocketing cost of housing there. While rising home prices here in Tacoma are good for current homeowners who want to sell, the price surge in our market is causing other side effects. People priced out of the Tacoma housing market are being forced to move to rural parts of the county or to Thurston County, putting more pressure on our schools, roads and highways. The high price of housing has also resulted in more people becoming homeless after they can’t afford rising rents or mortgages. This is a particular problem for people on fixed incomes: seniors, the disabled and veterans. This session, I voted for legislation to give more rights to renters,
More protections for renters The House and Senate passed two major reforms to help protect renters this year. The experiences of people in Tacoma at the Tiki Apartments helped inspire these new laws. More notice before rent increases (House Bill 1440): This law ensures renters have more time to either find new housing or rearrange their finances before a landlord increases rent. Requires property owners to give a minimum of 60 days written notice to tenants before increasing their rent. More time to pay or vacate (Senate Bill 5600): Evictions are a leading cause of homelessness. This extends the current three-day eviction notice period to pay or vacate to 14 days. The notice given to tenants will feature information about civil legal aid and the resources available to them. In addition, it requires the Attorney General to provide information about the 14-day notice on its website in 10 languages commonly used in the state. Giving renters the infor-

mation needed to avoid homelessness, and more time to access those resources, is a big win for Washington families. Encouraging investments in affordable and supportive housing (House Bill 1406): This new law lets counties or cities to use a portion of the state sales tax for affordable housing or to back local bonds dedicated to affordable housing. Such bonds would come at no cost to homeowners, renters, property owners, or developers – an all-around win. We all know that the need is great. According to the City of Tacoma, nearly 33,000 households in Tacoma pay at least 30 percent of their income on housing. Housing values have doubled since 1990 and the cost to rent a house has jumped by nearly 40 percent. The City of Tacoma is already using this legislation to take action and boost affordable housing, adopting a new resolution and ordinance using this stream of funding to build affordable housing – all without a local tax increase. Helping cities and counties fund housing projects (House Bill 1219): Extends the current law allowing
cities and counties to use REET II revenue for affordable housing and homelessness projects to January 1, 2026. Funding in the construction budget (House Bill 1102): $175 million in funding to develop affordable housing. What do you think? I hope you find this information helpful, and I know we have more work to do next session. That’s why I’m interested in your stories, comments and ideas. It’s important that we have a conversation about housing because these issues are all related. You can’t separate housing from the trouble young people are having in buying their first home and skyrocketing rent. And the high price of housing directly relate to longer commutes, more traffic congestion and the homeless problem. Please take a moment to get in touch by the toll-free Hotline or my email address. Thank you for taking the time to read this – I hope to hear from you soon! State Rep. Jake Fey (D-27) can be reached at info@jakefey.com.

Enroll in a branch by August 30, 2019. 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. For bonus interest rates on time accounts, this change will occur upon renewal. If the Portfolio by Wells Fargo relationship is terminated, the remaining unlinked Wells Fargo Portfolio Checking or Wells Fargo Prime Checking account will be converted to another checking product or closed. © 2019 Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.
