The King County Council solved a quorum problem for the King County Fire District No. 28 board by appointing Larry Jensen to fill one of two vacant seats. The three-member board was reduced to one after Commissioner Ryan Terhune was injured July 10 in an off-road motorcycle accident in Idaho. Chris Ingham resigned his commission seat June 10. Terhune resigned his position shortly after the accident and is continuing to recuperate. Jensen was appointed to fill Terhune’s seat, No. 2, which is up for election in November. Terhune had decided not to run again prior to his accident. Elbert Reed and Angela Stubblefield are running for the seat.

Enumclaw will be hopping for the next few days, as thousands of people descend upon the Expo Center grounds for Creation 2013.
Creation’s four-day run begins today, Wednesday, and concludes Saturday. Annually billed as the largest Christian music festival in the nation, Creation treats guests to dozens of musical acts – covering all genres – during its run. Sprinkled throughout are seminars, movies, crafts for kids and exhibits. Believers will also find a prayer tent and water baptism. Music is a near-constant feature

of Creation, which boasts headline acts on the Main Stage, featuring some of the top performers in the world of contemporary Christian music. Additionally, there’s a Fringe Stage with its up-and-coming acts; fun and games on the Kids Stage, Late-Night Stage with dance parties, comedy acts and acoustic performers; and a talent search on the Indie Stage.

access for Interstate 5 travelers, plus closer proximity to city amenities. Creation attendees pay $49 for a single day, $77 for a two-day ticket or $120 for a full-event pass. But those who want to make the most of the experience can write a much bigger check: a Gold Star ticket runs $900 and offers a bundle of benefits; or, for $1,500, a guest gets all the Gold Star benefits, plus VIP camping. There are a variety of other upgrades available involving access to music, tent camping and RV sites.
