MAKING A STAND IN NORTH RENTON

Levies pass; bond to build middle school was in doubt By DEAN A. RADFORD

To Jerry Lee, the North Renton neighborhood is the center of the universe. It’s home to the world’s best-selling aircraft, early 1900s houses that families have modernized, shopping and entertainment at The Landing and recreation off the shores of Lake Washington at Gene Coulon Park. Lee has lived all over Washington state but says nothing compares to his community that he’s called home for seven years. Now if he could only get Trader Joe’s, the popular grocery-store chain, to see the promise he sees in the community and move into the area, he would be content, Lee said. Different people have their own ideas about how North Renton should be developed.

North Renton
next
The Renton Reporter today continues its special report on efforts by the City of Renton and the residents themselves to improve the quality of life in this venerable neighborhood between downtown and Kennydale. Today, we profile the neighborhood and explore the aspirations that city officials and residents themselves have for North Renton.
The neighborhood has been the backdrop to Boeing’s roll out of record-breaking numbers of 737s and to eating establishments’ run-ins with the police and the Washington state Liquor Control Board. Like any community, North Renton has its pluses and minuses. To hear the people who live there tell it, the community is an up and
coming area. This, they say, despite the fact that there are some dilapidated homes, slumlords and mismanagement of some commercial properties. Resident Cathy Matthew believes there is and can be greater community in the neighborhood. She started a community-building project last fall with her husband Jim that has homeowners flying American Flags from their properties to evoke a sense of patriotism and unity in the neighborhood. “This area particularly has had some issues with some rental houses, where people aren’t really responsible about who they rent to,” Matthew said. The problem was so bad they actually [ more north renton page 7 ]

With a sense of pride, place, North Renton is building a community
Renton school officials were considering their options this week following the likely failure of a $97 million bond measure to build a new middle school. The bond measure needs a 60 percent yes vote for passage. The yes vote climbed slightly after Wednesday’s tally to 57.17 percent. Randy Matheson said Wednesday that overcoming a three-percent deficit was “highly unlikely.” One option for the school board is to place the bond measure on the April 17 special election ballot, the last election until the August primary election. But to do so it would need to act at its Feb. 29 meeting to meet the deadline, Matheson said. Two levies, the replacement maintenance and operations levy and the technology levy, were winning handily with a roughly 60 percent yes vote after Wednesday’s count. “We had a clear message from voters that the two levies are important,” said Matheson, noting they pay for day-to-day operations and for technology. But it was clear from the results, Matheson said, that voters didn’t want to proceed with building or renovating schools. The school board has to balance that with the district’s “great needs,” he said. The total vote for the technology levy initially fell about 1,100 votes short of the total for the other levy and bond, likely because voters didn’t notice it on the back page of the ballot, Matheson said. The district learned of its location after ballots were mailed; volunteers in their calls urged voters to turn over their ballots.

6-point plan drafted to boost aerospace By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com
The King County Aerospace Alliance wants to use loans, streamlined permitting and a strong job-training program to protect and grow the aerospace industry and jobs in the county. The six-point plan was unveiled Tuesday at Boeing Field by county Executive Dow Constantine, who convened the alliance last year when it became apparent that other states and nations were gearing up to compete for Boeing’s production business. “This action plan is our roadmap to supporting our local aerospace industry with an infrastructure that is faster, stronger and better,” said Constantine, who was joined by industry and community leaders, including the mayors of Renton, Kent and Tukwila and Auburn’s deputy mayor. South King County is a hub of many of Boeing’s production plants; a big part of Boeing field, the company’s other hub in the county, is in Tukwila. Renton Mayor Denis Law spoke about the importance of offering companies an efficient permitting process. The city worked closely with Boeing to facilitate what the company needed to ramp up its 737 production to record-breaking levels in Renton. “One area where we can make a difference is making sure that our permitting and land-use processes are seamless across all governmental lines,” Law said. By working across those lines, he said, “we can make our business climate more competitive, while maintaining our region’s high quality of life.” The alliance will work to identify state and federal regulations that impede economic competitiveness, he said. The county report comes three months after Gov. Chris Gregoire released a statewide competitiveness study which showed the economic importance of the aerospace industry to the state. About 89,000 people are employed in aerospace

Voters send message with levy approvals, likely loss for bond
S
etting aside a bond measure, voters in the Renton School District again demonstrated their support for their schools with the overwhelming approval of two key levies critical to the day-today operation of Renton’s schools. The $97 million bond measure was a different matter, although it is needed to help meet “great needs” in the district. We would encourage the School Board to seriously consider placing the measure on the April 17 ballot, if it fails, as expected, but by only a small margin. That small margin seems to indicate a real base of support for the building and renovating of schools, even in continuing tough economic times. What’s disturbing about this special election is that the potential existed for an even steeper uphill battle for the bond measure, especially since it needs a 60 percent yes vote for approval. Many voters – hundreds – didn’t notice that they had to turn over their ballot to vote on a third measure, the technology levy, which needed a simple majority for passage. Luckily, the bond was on the front page, thus hard to miss. Voters are told to continue voting on the back page, but that’s easy to miss. The school district didn’t learn there was a two-sided ballot until after it was mailed. In the future, the county’s Elections Division needs to communicate better with jurisdictions about the layout of ballots, especially when there are so few issues on which to vote. Such notice would have allowed volunteers early on to include a reminder about the two-sided ballot in their calls to voters.

hy our education system is so vitally important to our economic future was on full display Tuesday at Boeing Field. There, regional leaders announced a six-point plan to strengthen the infrastructure that supports our aerospace industry. A key piece of that infrastructure is an educated workforce. Building that infrastructure, which also includes transportation improvements and environmentally responsible permitting processes, is a commitment all our local governments must make. Renton has already made that commitment in its efforts to help Boeing expand its 737 plant to meet a record backlog of orders and to build the new 737 MAX. This is a countywide effort, following on the heels of an already-announced statewide effort to keep Washington at the forefront of airplane production. These efforts simply can’t be allowed to fail.

Former hospital district parliamentarian explains why he resigned over alliance Last summer, the Board of Commissioners of Valley Medical Center took a huge step in advancing medical services to the residents of South King County by entering into an alliance with UW Medicine. The Strategic Alliance Agreement was designed to enhance access to specialty care, increase the availability of specialty medical services locally, and continue the mission of both institutions of improving the overall health of the community. This was a huge win for healthcare coverage for our citizens. The voting for this Alliance was not unanimous, despite its lofty and honorable goals. Commissioners Anthony Hemstad and Dr. Aaron Heide voted against this proposal, objecting to the loss of personal power that resulted in the transfer of management responsibility for Valley Medical Center to a new 13-member board, which they continue to be a part of. Few people agree with their position that the community somehow lost its voice in the process. The public widely participated in the process leading up to the alliance and the community was overwhelmingly in support of it. In this past election, the majority power of the VMC Board of Commissioners has shifted. In the two meetings that have been held thus far, the new majority has signaled its intention to undo the Alliance with a series of resolutions that have replaced the Board’s legal counsel with representatives from another law firm, proposed amendments to the Bylaws that would undo all of the changes that were made to comply with the terms of the Alliance, and have hired [former Senator and Supreme Court Justice] Phil Talmadge as independent counsel to examine the legality of the Alliance. While I have the greatest respect for Phil Talmadge, it seems to me that these moves have only one purpose – to find a way to undo the Alliance Robert McBeth

altogether. It is unfortunate that three members of the Board of Commissioners, Hemstad, Heide and newly elected commissioner Paul Joos, have clear sights on dismantling the Strategic Alliance Agreement. They show their willingness to ignore all of the medical benefits this alliance provides to local residents in order to fulfill their personal goals of attacking the hospital administration. The Alliance with the University of Washington has tremendous promise for future healthcare to South County residents and will greatly enhance the quality of patient care in our community. The three commissioners are much more concerned over their perceived loss of personal power, and their attempts to undermine the Alliance and all it has to offer to our residents are absolutely the wrong move. Long before the alliance was formed, Hemstad and Heidi have shown absolutely no interest in exploring ways to improve healthcare services for the public and have concentrated all of their efforts on criticizing the hospital administration. I have no interest in assisting these three commissioners in their personal crusade. The notion that Valley Medical Center’s relationship with UW Medicine does not represent the “will of the people” is nonsense and purely political. Commissioners Hemstad, Heidi and Joos need to remember that they were elected by the residents to make decisions that protect and improve healthcare for our residents. I cannot participate with these three commissioners in their efforts to undo the Alliance that provides access for specialized care for our citizens, and have resigned as Parlimentarian to the Board of Commissioners, effective immediately.

This week’s…
Police Blotter
Three security officers took down one disorderly Snoqualmie man on Feb. 4 at a local casino. When police arrived to Freddie’s Club in Renton, they found three security officers out of breath and holding down the 34-year-old man. The suspect was described as over 6-feet tall and weighing in excess of 350 pounds. He appeared to be intoxicated and caused a disturbance after challenging other club patrons to fight and not leaving the premises when asked. The 34-year-old began to fight with security and had to be detained until police arrived. Before he was taken to jail, he kicked a police officer, used profanity toward police and another patron and refused to sit in the patrol car. The man was arrested for investigation of assault, breach of peace and issued a criminal citation.
Man tazed for hitting woman Police tazed a suspect into submission after he repeatedly assaulted a Renton woman on Feb. 7. Police were called to a residence in the 600 block of South 17th Street at about 10:30 p.m. An officer observed a 40-year-old intoxicated man punching and kicking a 50-year-old woman in the middle of the street next to a vehicle. The man continued to assault the woman, despite police demands for him to stop. Apparently, the woman explained that she had two men over to her residence to help with yard work and then invited them to stay for dinner. The men had been drinking, so the woman was going to drive them home individually. She started to leave with one man and the 40-year-old
degree assault.
Man confronts girlfriend over meth A 25-year-old man was arrested after violently confronting his girlfriend about her meth use on Feb. 2. Police were called to Index Place Northeast just after 8 a.m. A 29-year-old woman reported that her boyfriend screamed at her, backed her into a corner and slapped her with his open hand. He then dragged her to the front door, telling her to get out. The argument was supposedly in response to the woman having smoked meth. She said that her boyfriend has never hit her before. They have been dating for six years and have two children together. The man was arrested for investigation of fourth-degree assault.

Property-tax bills reflect declining values By DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Ask Your Lawyer by Dan Kellogg
NAMING A PERSONAL GUARDIAN Among the many gut-wrenching prospects that people face when drawing up their wills is the matter of who will care for their minor children in the event that one or both parents die before the children reach adulthood. As a general matter, if both parents are willing and able to care for the children, and one of them were to die, the remaining parent would take over physical custody and assume responsibility for the children’s care. If a single parent or both parents were to die, there must be a plan in place that addresses the care of the children. This involves naming a personal guardian for minor children in the will after consulting with potential candidates. If you have children, you need to have a will naming a guardian in case the worst happens. I can help you with this imperative task. I have more than three decades of experience dealing with all aspects of estate planning, including naming guardians for minor children, and I can provide the legal expertise you want as well as the compassionate insights you deserve.

over 2011 – 1.71 perProperty-tax distribution cent, some property owners will see a drop in their property-tax bill because of a drop in their property’s value, according to the King County Assessor’s Office. For example, the assessor’s office points to rural southeast King County, where the tax bill dropped $470 because the median assessed value declined from $304,000 for the 2011 tax roll to $259,000 for the 2012 tax roll. However, property values are one factor in determining a property-tax bill. The assessor sets a tax rate to equitably spread out the tax burden from a number of government agencies among all property owners. Using the Renton School District as an example, the assessor’s office reported that the median-priced property was $261,000 in 2011 in the school district, while in 2012 it is $238,000, a decline of $23,000 or 8.8 percent. That median-priced home in the school district will pay $3,148 in taxes in 2012, compared to $3,186 in 2011, a decline of 1.2 percent. The tax rate in 2012 had increased by 8.3 percent over 2011. Property values declined in almost every area in King County for the 2012 tax roll, although the drop is slightly less than the previous year, according to the assessor’s office. “Bank foreclosures and other distressed sales continue to be a drag on property values overall in King County,” said King County Assessor Lloyd Hara in a press release.
“This is driving property values down through most of King County, and is resulting in property tax reductions for some.” The total assessed value of property in King County was down 3.32 percent in 2011, a slightly smaller decrease than in 2010 when total assessed values declined 3.38 percent, according to the assessor’s office. In 2009, total assessed values dropped 11.61 percent. The total assessed value of property in King County is $319.5 billion for 2012 taxing purposes (2011 assessment), down from $330.4 billion for 2011 taxing purposes (2010 assessment), and $342 billion for 2010 taxing purposes (2009 assessment). King County collects and then redistributes the tax dollars to different governments in the county. Slightly more than half of the overall dollars collected – 53 percent – go to the county’s school districts. Twentyseven percent goes to local governments, 18 percent to King County and 2 percent to the port district. Total property tax collections for all purposes in King County will total $3.6 billion in 2012, up 1.71 percent from $3.54 billion in 2011. Voter-approved property tax collections – primarily school district levies – were down by 0.72 percent in 2012 over 2011, $1.485 billion in 2012 compared to $1.495 Billion in 2011.

City Council adopts nuisance ordinance [ north renton from page 1] considered moving at one point. “But, I grew up in North Renton and I actually got kind of ownership mad,” she said, chuckling. “And (I) said, ‘No this is my home, this is my neighborhood and there are a lot of good people here’.” It’s a priority for Mayor Denis Law to make the residents of North Renton feel safe and secure in their homes. “You find a lot of real pride of ownership throughout North Renton,” said Law, who has met with residents to talk about what the city plans for their neighborhood. “They deserve to have peace and harmony.” Crime can happen in any neighborhood, he said in an interview. But he said he “shifted into another gear” when he heard the story of a North Renton family who moved a child to another bedroom to avoid getting hit by stray bullets fired in an alley. Police officers are walking the neighborhood, handing out business cards, and letting residents know that if they need anything to
call the police, he said. “We are making a huge presence in that neighborhood,” he said. But, some residents feel a big police presence isn’t the answer to North Renton’s problems. “I’m truly not a believer that more cops make it more safe,” said Lee. “I think that’s just a scare tactic.” It’s more effective to get buy-in from the community on the importance of security and from that assist the police to do their job, he said. The media and others promote the idea that having a lot of cops on every corner promotes security, Lee said, but he feels that’s not accurate. “It’s just not possible,” he said. “I think that the community needs to support the police and police need to support the community.” Toward that idea, the Renton City Council adopted a nuisance ordinance in October 2011. This ordinance (No. 5629) seeks to hold “nuisance” property owners criminally and
financially responsible for the financial burden they put on the City of Renton. Spelled out, that burden means repeat calls for service, complaints, or requests for investigations and, or inspections of the nuisance properties that require the time and resources of city staff, the police department, the city attorney’s department and the court. That is the official language of the ordinance. Though it is a citywide ordinance, it “will help address the chronic concerns in North Renton if there are unlawful, unkept, unsafe and improperly maintained premises that impact properties and cause burden to residents and the city,” said Preeti Shridhar, Renton’s communications director in an email. “However, the ordinance requires a certain amount of calls in a defined period of time in order to take effect. Currently, the city is still gathering that information.” Alex Pietsch, the City of Renton’s community and economic development administrator, [ more north renton page 8]

City offers neighborhood grants What’s next for North Renton?
The City of Renton is offering the Neighborhood Project Grant Program for 2012, part of its efforts to build strong neighborhoods. The grants are available to organized neighborhood associations with defined boundaries in Renton that have been officially recognized by the city. The grants stimulate community projects that help build stronger neighborhoods and strengthen partnerships between the city and its neighborhoods, according to the city. Eligible projects include physical improvements that build or enhance a feature of the neighborhood or benefit the general public. The grants range from $3,000 to
$5,000 per project, although the actual amount is based on a project’s merit as determined by the Renton City Council based on the recommendation of a stafflevel interdepartmental team. Grant applications are due by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 9. Applications may be accessed on the city’s website at www. rentonwa.gov. When submitting an application, applicants must include neighborhood bylaws and a list of board members. Awards will be announced in early May. For more information or to schedule an appointment, contact Neighborhood Program Coordinator Norma McQuiller at 425-430-6595 or nmcquiller@ rentonwa.gov.
Deadline looms for arts commission grants The Renton Municipal Arts Commission has extended the deadline for the “Art Matters!” arts and culture funding. The commission will accept proposals for the 2012 Arts Grant Program until Friday (Feb. 17). Funding is for arts and culture community projects that help forward the arts commission’s goal to facilitate the implementation of Renton’s Arts and Culture Master Plan. The arts commission anticipates
awarding grants ranging from $500 to $6,000 for the 2012 Art Grant Program. Artists and organizations promoting art for the greater Renton community can apply for funding. Grant awards will be announced by March 12 and projects must be completed by Nov. 30. For more information and an application, visit ArtsCommission.rentonwa. gov or contact 425-430-6589 or arts@ rentonwa.gov.

[NORTH RENTON from page 7] defines the neighborhood’s boundaries as north of the Cedar River, east of Logan Avenue, south of North Sixth Street and west of Interstate 405. Renton’s City Center Plan, which will be implemented during the next 20 years, is concerned with preserving and strengthening established neighborhoods like North Renton, said Pietsch. North Renton is diverse in age and race with slightly more females than males. One of the many reasons Lee chose the area is because of the diversity. As an African American he said he even wished it was more diverse. But, he enjoys the fact that it is centrally located and he can quickly get to the airport, downtown Seattle for events during the week, Bellevue and Southcenter. Lee is an attorney, but works as the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer for the City of Tacoma and likes his reverse commute to work. “Everything is centered here,” he said. “This is almost perfect for me, except I would prefer to be on the hill.” Lee likes the view from the higher elevations in the city. This is why he said he would speak out to protect the property across from him if Boeing ever vacated the two parking lots across from his home. Right now, Lee has easy access to the Cedar River and the Liberty Park trail that terminates at Lake Washington.
He doesn’t want to see a high-density senior living center go up in front of his house. Lee isn’t the only resident who wonders about the future of the neighborhood and its makeup. George and Sally Daniels also live in the neighborhood and enjoy walking to many of its amenities and the downtown Renton core. George Daniels is the president of the neighborhood association and he and his wife Sally are self-employed. “We’d like to see the whole Park Avenue area turned into nice little shops or fixed up houses or developed rather than things being left abandoned,” said Sally Daniels. She thinks the new ordinance will help get after landlords with defunct properties. The Daniels moved into their home in the area in 1989 when there were many single-family homes, but also mixed-use properties. George Daniels believes the residential character of the neighborhood has been maintained the whole time they have lived in the community. The core issue for the area is what’s next, he said. “In other words, are we going to become downtown Bellevue or are we going to become a nice residential community,” George Daniels said.

Study reveals allergies are increasing If it seems like you are sneezing more this year than in the past, you may already have guessed the results of a recent study. Allergies are on the rise in America, found the study, and most of the increase is due to two allergens found in the environment: ragweed and mold. The findings are important because these two allergens have been linked to a warming climate.

The Quest Diagnostics Health Trends report, “Allergies Across America,” is from Quest Diagnostics, the nation’s leading diagnostic testing company. The study analyzed test results of patients tested for 11 common allergens, including peanuts, house dust and pet dander. It is the largest study ever conducted on allergy testing, based on results of nearly 14 million tests.

In the study, sensitization to common ragweed (the most prevalent form of ragweed) grew 15 percent while mold grew 12 percent nationally. Sensitization indicates the likelihood that a person is allergic to a certain allergen. By comparison, sensitization to the 11 allergens combined increased less than 6 percent. As many as two in 10 Americans have an allergy to ragweed. Increased exposure to ragweed has been shown to increase an individual’s risk of developing more severe allergy symptoms or asthma. Research by other scientists has shown that a warming climate may increase the abundance of some allergens in the environment. For example, a warmer climate may lengthen the blooming season for ragweed, so people are exposed to it more often. “Allergies, if untreated, can lead to worsening symptoms and, for some people, asthma,” said Dr. Stanley J. Naides, medical director, Immunology, for Quest Diagnostics. “Allergy symptoms depend on the type of allergy, and can range from a runny nose to wheezing. People who believe they have an allergy should consult their doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.” The study also found that: • Children with food allergies may be at risk for the “allergy march,” a pattern of disease that can lead to asthma. • Children in Medicaid may be tested for allergies at later ages than children in private health plans. Later testing means treatment that could prevent the allergy march doesn’t start as early. • Peanut allergies are the most common food allergies in school-age kids. • Men may be at greater risk for allergies than women. The “Allergies Across America” report also describes allergy symptoms, treatments and tests, including ImmunoCAP, the gold standard of allergy blood tests. Visit www.

The Lindbergh gymnastics team finished sixth at the West Central District III meet Saturday. "It went really well," said Lindbergh coach Raquel Murray.

State qualifiers: Jenna Louie (vault, bars), Karli Louie (vault, bars, beam, floor), Williams (vault). Murray said Williams, a junior, started gymnastics as a freshman with no experience. "She didn't know anything about it," Murray said. "But she's just picked up the sport very easily and gone to state all three years." Lindbergh finished the season 6-1 as co-Seamount

Communities in Schools Renton (CISR) has recognized four major Renton car dealers for outstanding commitment to the welfare and success of Renton students through their support of CISR. Last year four Renton-based dealerships, including Walker Subaru, Walker Mazda, Bob Bridge Toyota and Scion and Sound Ford, donated nearly $25,000 to CISR programs which support more than 6,000 students and families in the Renton School District. “Renton auto dealers have provided incredible support to CISR for several years,” said Sue Paro, CISR’s executive director. “They care about the kids of this community and they understand the importance of every student having the opportunity to succeed in school.” CISR established the Renton Auto Dealers for Kids Award to publicly recognize the auto dealers “for their exceptional support which has empowered hundreds of Renton kids to stay in school,” she said. “Nothing opens as many doors as education.

IAM, Boeing honored for contract accord Boeing finalizes biggest order The International Association of Machinists & Aerospace Workers and the Boeing Co. were honored recently for the landmark deal that ensured the 737 MAX will be built in Renton. The Pacific Northwest Aerospace Alliance presented its Chairman’s Award to the union and Boeing at the organization’s annual conference earlier this month. The award commends the IAM and the company for “reaching an accelerated and unprecedented managementlabor agreement.” In December, members of
Machinists Union District Lodge 751 ratified a four-year contract extension with Boeing that included a commitment to keep final assembly of Boeing’s newest 737 model in Renton. District 751 President Tom Wroblewski accepted the award on behalf of the union, while Boeing’s vice president in charge of marketing, Randy Tinseth, accepted for Boeing. “We are all proud of what we accomplished in December,” said Wroblewski. He called the contract extension “a turning point for the relationship between Boeing and the Machin-
ists Union.” But more than that, Wroblewski added, the agreement “shows the need for labor, business, elected officials, education and the chamber of commerce to work together for a common goal of good jobs.” Beverly Holland, a Boeing spokeswoman, said the company is “pleased with this award – it recognizes the hard work and dedication of Boeing and the IAM to reach an early agreement last November. That agreement reflects a new era of working together between the company and its IAM-represented employees.”
Boeing and Jakarta-based Lion Air Monday finalized a firm order for 201 737 MAXs and 29 NextGeneration 737-900ERs, according to the Boeing Co. The agreement announced last November also includes purchase rights for 150 more airplanes. “The 737 MAX is the best choice for Lion Air and the best airplane to serve our passengers,” said Rusdi Kirana, Lion Air founder and president. “We’re excited to be the first airline in Asia to fly the 737 MAX and to be the global launch customer of the 737 MAX 9.” With orders for 230 airplanes valued at $22.4 billion at list prices, this deal is the largest commercial
airplane order ever in Boeing’s history by both dollar value and total number of airplanes. Lion Air will also acquire purchase rights for an additional 150 airplanes. “Lion Air has been a leader in Indonesia from the very beginning,” said Dinesh Keskar, vice president of Asia-Pacific and India Sales for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. “Today more people are flying in Asia at lower fares because of the 737 and this historic 737 MAX order will help connect more people in the future.” Lion Air, Indonesia’s largest private airline, operates or has on order a total of 178 Next-Generation 737s.

Another Top Ranking for Joint Replacement With more than 8000 joint replacement surgeries performed, Washington’s first joint center is also the state’s best, according to HealthGrades® for 2010, 2011 and 2012—and has received its Five-Star Rating in Joint Replacement for nine consecutive years.
2010 2011
2012
An acclaimed model for best practices and recently celebrating our 11th anniversary, The Joint Center is led by nationally recognized surgeons in procedures, implant design and research, along with our team of specialized joint replacement nurses and therapists. State-of-the-art surgical techniques and implant selection, brand new facilities on a dedicated floor in our South Tower, attentive care and personalized therapy, private rooms and the success of nearly 1300 surgeries performed just last year, make The Joint Center your top choice for joint replacement. For more information, to obtain a physician referral or to attend a FREE joint replacement seminar, please visit us at valleymed.org/joint or call us at 425.656.4636. valleymed.org/joint
