Market season begins at the Piazza

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

The Renton Farmers Market at the downtown city Piazza officially opened for another season on Tuesday, with an expanded reach and selection.

“What’s new this year is Market West,” said Carrie Olson, city farmers market coordinator. “It’s just on the west side of Logan and we have space for artisans, crafters and addi-

tional educational opportunities.”

Not completely full yet, Market West, located at the former Big 5 site, had just a few vendors on opening day, including kids from the organization CryOut, painting market wheelbarrows.

The city is also working on getting Washington beer and wine vendors to the market for tastings. There will be about [ more MARKET page 15 ]

The parents of 17-year-old Mariah Boehm, Tony and Jody, are bracing to tell her she won’t be able to walk again after she suffered injuries in a car vs. pedestrian accident May 29 in the Renton Highlands.

Since, Mariah has been undergoing multiple surgeries at Harborview Medical Center to repair her severed spinal cord.

Sunday was the first day she could eat or talk and Monday she was to have her legs set internally, nearing the last set of surgeries for a while. As of Monday, she was Mariah Boehm listed in stable condition.

“We are planning to work with Harborview’s Rehab Psych team on Tuesday to tell her,” said Tony Pagliocco, Mariah’s dad, via email. “We were supposed to tell her today, but her surgery got scheduled over it.”

After eight-year career, Officer Boss ready to become ‘full-time family dog’ With just days to go before retirement, many people might have taken it easy and let the clock run down.

But not Officer Boss.

Last week, just two days before his official retirement from the police force, Renton K-9 officer Boss and his handler Officer Jason Trader were

on patrol and attempted to stop a recklessly driven vehicle. But instead of stopping, the driver took off on Southwest Sunset Avenue, eventually coming to a stop after hitting two unoccupied vehicles near the intersection of Southwest Fourth Place.

After the accident, both the driver and passenger abandoned the stolen car and took off on foot.

Boss nabbed the driver immediately and then tracked the passenger, bringing in both suspects to “go out in style,” as Chief Kevin Milosevich put it. [ more BOSS page 10 ]

GRADUATION 2014

The Renton School District will hold graduation for the class of 2014 on June 13, at ShoWare Center, 625 W. James St., Kent: Lindbergh is at 9 a.m.; Hazen is at noon and Renton High School is at 3 p.m.

Hazen student selected as Sea Gal

BY TRACEY COMPTON tcompton@rentonreporter.com

For Hazen High School senior Errin Williams, getting on the school’s drill team was the event she was most looking forward to in high school. Now, she’s surpassed her dream and has been selected for a spot on the Seattle Seahawks’ Sea Gal squad.

“It’s been a dream for me to kind of get out there and do something different,” she said. “And I think that this opportunity was the best way to do that.”

Williams competed against 200 other contestants and veterans from the 2013 Sea Gal team at auditions April 28 to May 4. She was one of only about two dozen women chosen for the squad.

“Errin is an excellent dancer and has great poise and projection, which helped her stand out during the audition process,” said Sherri Thompson, Sea Gals’ director.

Williams reportedly also used her athleticism, knowledge of choreography and passion to win over the judges.

Being on Hazen’s drill team prepared her somewhat for auditions, although, Williams said she’s always been a dancer and drill is slightly different from a cheer squad.

Errin Williams, Hazen High School senior, will be on this year’s Seattle Seahawks’ Sea Gal squad. She was selected from some 200 contestants, including veteran members of the 2013 squad. TRACEY COMPTON, Renton Reporter “I love dancing and I wanted to continue in some way,” she said.

“Drill isn’t really dance; it’s a little different. So I wanted to challenge myself and do drill and see how far

Renton Community Foundation awards 15 scholarships

The Renton Community Foundation recently awarded $37,500 in scholarships to 15 students.

An awards ceremony was held in their honor, with about 50 people in attendance at the foundation’s offices, to hear the stories of the award recipients and the donors.

“Several people became teary-eyed,” said Lynn Bohart, Executive Director. “Especially when Brad Carlson talked about his step-mother, Sue Carlson, who worked for the City for many years in business

development.”

A scholarship set up in Sue Carlson’s name was given to young women pursuing a career in business or marketing. The Sue Carlson Memorial Scholarship was given to Nicole Cowan for her entrepreneurial spirit, a press release stated.

Cowan is the current Lindbergh High School Associated Student Body president, a Distributive Education Careers of America (DECA) and Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) student.

This year’s winners were Kelvin Ruffer, Jada Rogers, and Nikolaus Bautista.

has kept her fit physically and mentally prepared for other challenges like this opportunity, she said.

To prepare for auditions, she said she turned on different types of music to see what she could do with it.

“Auditions were hectic,” Williams said. “They were fun; they were crazy; they were exciting. There was a lot of waiting to get called back.”

The thought of taking to the field and experiencing all of the Seahawks’ screaming fans is what motivated Williams to tryout for the squad this year. Although football is her favorite sport to watch, she said, she’s not the go-to person when it comes to football-specific questions, but she understands the basics pretty well. She’s excited about meeting new people on the squad and the team’s players.

As a Sea Gal, she will attend the squad’s many community and fan appearances, participate in parades and marketing shoots for the team.

“I am excited, but I’m nervous, but I think it will be fun,” she said. “I think it will be a great experience.”

Williams will attend Bellevue College in the fall as a full-time student, with plans to pursue a transfer degree to Washington State University to study organizational communication.

“If they understand how to sew a tent together or a parachute together, it’s not a hard transition to move into sewing apparel together,” he said.

Even if the job is transitional, Matsumoto said, there is a growing need for such workers in the United States and veterans would do well to jump on this opportunity. He’s looked at research that says there are about 200,000 apparel manufacturing jobs that are coming back to the U.S. in the next five years.

“Because people want shorter supply chains; they don’t want to pay the shipping,” he said. “They want higher quality than they’re getting in Asia in a lot of respects and ‘made in the U.S.A.’ is a huge trend, not just in the U.S., but Europe and Southeast Asia.”

Veterans could make between $24,000 to $27,000 a year sewing, which doesn’t sound like a lot Matsumoto said, but is more than most active duty soldiers make.

“In 2009, the direct revenue from the apparel industry cluster alone was $8.4 billion,” he said. “Manufacturing and wholesale was 40 percent of that or about $3.3 billion. So what the incubator is trying to do is to grow that $3.3 billion and get a piece of that $3.3 billion.”

The Seattle Fashion Incubator also seeks to get immigrants employed in the fashion industry, much like veterans.

Matsumoto sees them as an untapped resource as well. The organization is working out a partnership with the group Muses that works with the immigrant population to get the ball rolling.

And perhaps the biggest opportunity and incentive to Matsumoto for locating in Renton, is that the city has no city business tax.

“So any competitive advantage we can give these companies to help them succeed because most companies fail in the first three to five years,” Matsumoto said.

“We’re going to try and educate them on why downtown Renton makes more sense than Georgetown or SODO or Columbia City or downtown Bellevue.”

Steven Paul Matsumoto is a man with a vision. What he sees is Renton becoming the fashion resource capital of the Northwest in the next five to 10 years, with the help of some veterans.

Matsumoto is the founder of the Seattle Fashion Incubator, which moved to Renton in 2013 from SODO. The incubator is designed to propel fashion businesses forward, with a host of support resources and services such as office space, capital, training and industry connections, according to its founder.

“Because there’s a lot of opportunity for growth down here,” Matsumoto said of downtown Renton in a recent interview. “And it’s just getting the fashion community, one, and other economic development stakeholders and investors, two, to see what I see when I look at downtown Renton.”

He sees Renton as Brooklyn in 1986, on the verge of big economic, cultural and art development opportunities, and becoming a hotspot like Brooklyn is today in New York.

His office sits in an almost-empty, two-story building at 212 Wells Ave. S., across from Old Renton Book Exchange and Valley Cities. Matsumoto would like to purchase the building and turn the space into co-working space for independent designers, onsite sample and pattern making, presentation space, a sewing room where designers can rent time for industrial grade equipment, and a wholesale fabric and trim library.

“We want to purchase this building so that we can completely renovate it and Steven Matsumoto make it basically a garment district in a box,” he said.

Currently the building has other tenants, including Custom Pressed Tee’s, which is a fashion retail business located on the first floor.

“We’re just trying to find those corporate partners or an angel investor that would have an interest in being a part of this multibillion-dollar industry in the state of Washington,” he said.

For now, Matsumoto has sunk every spare cent of his own money into the business, he said.

Part of his idea taking off has to do with seizing upon an opportunity to train and place out-of-work veterans in the fashion industry, specifically to sew.

As an ex-Marine, Matsumoto knows the difficulty of finding a career once out of the service. The reintegration programs that exist today are nothing like what he was given when he got out of the service in 2000. He sees an opportunity to train the logistics and support military staff to be

Renton woman charged in bank robberies

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Twice in two days last week, a Renton woman robbed the same bank in downtown Renton, according to prosecutors, and was in custody mid-week on charges of firstdegree robbery.

Nela Mekelda Thomas, 26, was arrested at about 10:30 a.m. May 30 after botched attempts to rob Chase Bank inside Fred Meyer on Rainier Avenue and the Alaska USA Federal Credit Union Bank in the Safeway store on South Third Street a short distance away.

The robberies drew a large police presence to downtown Renton both days.

Thomas was being held on $50,000 bail mid-week in the King County Jail in downtown Seattle. She was also charged Wednesday with first-degree attempted robbery.

About 24 hours earlier on May 29, according to prosecutors, Renton Police released she robbed the same bank inside this image of a bank-robbery Safeway of $1,210, which as of suspect last week. Renton mid-week hadn’t been recovered.

Police Department She entered and left the store three times before approaching the teller, apparently waiting for the line to shorten, according to charging documents.

She handed the teller a note reading, “Big faces only, don’t scream and hurry.” After receiving the cash, she fled in her Nissan Sentra.

The next morning, at about 10:10 a.m., she went into the Chase Bank in the Fred Meyer store, with a note that read, “Big Face, give me all the money.” On the side of the note was written $100s, 50s and 20s.

At first the teller thought the woman was a vendor but realized she was attempting to rob the bank.

Not letting on, the teller asked her to swipe her debit card. The suspect looked at her and asked, “What?”

The teller asked her from which account she wanted the money withdrawn. The woman replied “$1,000.”

The teller again asked for an account number. The woman said, “just forget it.” She asked for her note back, but she didn’t get any money.

A bank manager was alerted. The suspect was still in the bank. The manager followed her as she left the bank and walked toward a silver SUV but didn’t get in.

As officers searched for her, an officer received a 911 call from the nearby Alaska Federal Credit Union inside the Safeway store about a woman who appeared similar (including a bandaid on her lip) to the one who attempted to rob the bank the day before. She was acting oddly.

Officers found in her a silver SUV in the parking lot. She managed to twist away from an officer as he was taking her into custody. She ran but slipped and fell. She got up and ran across South Third Street into the parking lot at Freddie’s Casino. An officer attempted to taze her but missed.

She was taken into custody after an officer used his Tazer as a “dry stun.”

Retracing the suspect’s steps, a detective found the discarded handwritten note used in the bank robbery.

Renton Police Detective Robert Onishi said the suspect has no fixed address, so there was no place for investigators to search for the money stolen in the first robbery.

Investigators are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the robberies, Onishi said.

For most folks, this time of year brings happy flowers and joyful thoughts of warm days to come.

Not me.

For me it means my personal tyrant will return to rule over my roost.

My daughter Katy is going on a vacation, which means I get the joy of taking care of Yodie the Yorkie despot.

Yodie has never grasped the concept that she is the dog and I am higher on the evolutionary scale from dopey to smarty pants.

When I read Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species,” I distinctly remember a chapter that said I get to be the boss of Yodie because I am supposed to be smarter.

Every time Yodie comes to terrorize me for a week or two, the first thing I do is show her Darwin’s book, multiple times. She apparently doesn’t read very well.

Normally after I show her the book, I have to pick her up and place her on the bed, get her a treat and tell her she is the princess of the house and boss of me.

Beginning next week the morning routine starts with Yodie jumping up and down on my chest, giving me the “Wake up.

I am the cutest thing in the universe. Worship me” look. If I don’t get up immediately, she stands on my chest and gives me the Yorkie death stare.

Taking Yodie for a walk is a real treat. We will get about halfway around the block and she flops onto the sidewalk, rolls onto her back and plays dead with her limp paws.

I have to pick her up and carry her home, which is a trial for me since that is almost like exercise.

When she was a puppy, I had her all trained to shake hands and do normal dog stuff.

Since she has been living with Katy, the dopey little she-devil thinks she is in charge of my life when Katy isn’t available to boss me around.

I was talking to a woman in Safeway the other day and she pointed out daughters get to do these things. They are in charge.

It’s nice how no one ever tells me anything.

I am not rolling over for this terrier. I have a plan of action.

This time before Yodie invades my life, I am going to search the web for an illustrated copy of Darwin’s book. Big pictures I can show her, with a graph showing me at the top and Yodie way, way down on the bottom, almost off the page.

That’ll show Katy and her little dog, too.

I get to win. Darwin said.

How to preserve Billy Frank’s legacy “Being Frank” is the monthly opinion column that was written for many years by the late Billy Frank Jr., chairman of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. To honor him, the treaty Indian tribes in western Washington will continue to share their perspectives on natural resources management through this column.

OLYMPIA – So much has been written and said about the passing of Billy Frank Jr., our great leader and good friend. Many people are asking how to honor Billy’s memory. Who will take his place?

One way we can honor Billy’s legacy is to carry on his work: • We must recover wild salmon to levels that can once again support harvest. That is the only true measure of salmon recovery. To do that, we must do more to protect and then to restore salmon habitat. Right now we are losing habitat faster than it can be fixed. That must change or we will continue to lose the battle for salmon recovery.

• We must maintain strong salmon hatchery programs.

Most hatcheries were built to mitigate for lost natural wild salmon production caused by damaged and destroyed habitat.

Tribal, state and federal hatcheries are operated safely, responsibly and using the best science to minimize impacts on wild salmon. Some hatcheries produce salmon for harvest. Others aid recovery of weak wild stocks. Every hatchery is essential to meeting the tribal treaty right by contributing salmon that are available for harvest. Without hatcheries there would be no fishing at all in most areas of Western Washington.

We must have hatcheries as long as wild salmon habitat continues to be degraded and disappear.

• We must achieve a more protective fish consumption rate and maintain the current cancer risk rate to improve water quality and protect the health of everyone who lives in Washington.

• We must really, truly clean up Puget Sound.

RENTON

OPINION

www.rentonreporter.com

Every few years state government creates a new agency or cooperative effort to make that cleanup a reality. Year after year, decade after decade, we have all been working toward that goal, but we are not making sufficient progress. The main reason is lack of political will to develop and enforce regulations that could make cleanup a reality. Until that changes, the cleanup of Puget Sound will not happen.

• We must stop plans to expand the transport and export of coal and oil through our state’s land and waters. Increased oil train and tanker ship traffic and more export terminals offer nothing but problems. The likelihood of oil train explosions and derailments, along with the potential for devastating spills from tanker ships, threaten tribal treaty rights, the environment, our natural resources, our health and even our very lives. The few, mostly short-term jobs that they might provide are just not worth the cost.

• We must continue to work together on the problems we all share. We have shown that great things can be accomplished through cooperation, such as the Timber/Fish/Wildlife Agreement and the U.S./Canada Pacific Salmon Treaty. If we work together we can achieve both a healthy environment and a healthy economy. If we continue the conflict we will achieve neither outcome. A healthy environment is necessary to support a healthy economy in this region and the people who live here demand it.

Billy worked his entire life to make Western Washington a better place for all of us to live.

Tribal treaty rights that protect natural resources help make that possible, and benefit everyone who lives here, not just Indian tribes.

As for the question of who will pick up where Billy left off, the answer is all of us. No single person will ever be able to replace him. That’s a job for everyone. There is only one direction we can go: Forward – together – on the path Billy showed us with the teachings he shared.

New RapidRide F-Line begins service from The Landing to Burien

Council, persuaded Metro to extend the route through downtown’s transit center and up to the Boeing Plant and the Landing.

Palmer said her hope is that the route will have a “positive effect” on downtown by giving Boeing employees an easy, reliable way to head downtown for lunch.

She also called the route and “important connector” because of new connections it brings to the Sounder and Light Rail stations.

“I’m just thrilled we hung in there,” she said. “I am very excited about it.”

Along with the new RapidRide route, additional changes have been made in Renton’s Metro routes.

First, Routes 140 and 110 will be discontinued. Route 155 was converted to DART service this past September and Route 909 will be rerouted to operate further east on Northeast Seventh Street.

The signs and stops have been changing for several months, but this weekend the big day arrives: the longheralded RapidRide F-Line begins running on Saturday.

The line, which will replace Route 140, runs from The Landing to the Burien Transit Center with stops in downtown Renton, the Renton Park and Ride, on Oakesdale Avenue Southcenter Boulevard in Tukwila, the Tukwila Sounder Station and the Link Tukwila International Boulevard Station.

RapidRide buses leave every 10 minutes during the commute hours and every 15 minutes during off-peak times.

In total, there are about 26 stations and stops along the

F Line, spaced an average of 2,250 feet apart.

“This is wonderful,” said Renton councilwoman and Transportation Committee Chair Marcie Palmer. “It’s a much, much needed east-west corridor.”

Palmer also thanked former King County Councilwoman Julia Patterson for going to bat for the F Line.

Originally, the route was planned to end at Grady Way, Palmer said, but additional work by the city’s representatives, including Palmer on the Puget Sound Regional Reach

“Beneficiary Deeds” (or “Transfer on Death Deeds”) will soon be available. They will be helpful to clients with small estates that hold real estate as the only asset that will require probate. With a Beneficiary Deed, the parent can deed real estate to their children (or other beneficiary) during their lifetime. The deed can be revoked until the death of the parent.

If not revoked, the deed becomes effective at the death of the parent to vest ownership in the children - - - thus avoiding the need for probate for the real estate. Please contact our office to check out this new strategy. I have more than 40 years of experience providing thoughtful and comprehensive counsel for clients.

“I think this was a proud moment for Officer Trader, but at the same time a sad moment for the Trader family as Jason just sold the family pet,” Milosevich joked.

Titan and his new handler, Christopher Greenwade, have completed 400 hours of training and are ready to go into action.

“Great performance all these years,” said Mayor Denis Law, apologizing for not having a retirement gift, though Boss didn’t seem to mind. “What a great ending to catch those two auto thieves.”

Just another night on the job for Boss and Trader.

Nicknamed “Hollywood” for his tendency to pose for a camera, Boss has been working with Trader for eight years. In that time, he has had 155 successful tracks, including several homicide suspects.

Boss has helped track suspects all over the region, including a successful 2008 track of a murder suspect in Puyallup and a 2009 track of a homicide suspect following a shooting at the Federal Way Transit Center.

At Monday’s City Council meeting, a special ceremony was held honoring Boss and Trader for his time on the beat and welcoming his replacement and former family member, Titan, to his new role on the force.

According to Milosevich, Boss is an “extremely balanced dog” who is very social, as well as being an excellent tracker.

Police dogs live with the handlers, as part of the family. With his retirement official June 1, Boss will now be able to make the transition to “full-time family dog,” as the chief put it.

But though he will no longer be active with the force, Boss’s influence will continue through his replacement, Titan.

According to Milosevich, Trader’s commitment to the K9 program led him to seek out and begin training on Boss’s replacement. Knowing Boss’s time with the force was waning, Trader purchased Titan himself and began training the pup to be a police dog.

When the time came, Titan was surveyed by an independent reviewer and passed easily, prompting the city to pur-

Mugger does not care Thief steals iPhone and buys catfood about woman’s religion wallet, A Seattle man wandered back to find a The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.

BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Fearing she was about to get robbed, the Renton woman said, “Quit following me. I’m married to a Hispanic, and I’m a Christian.”

The woman replied, “I don’t care,” then she punched her multiple times in the face, knocking her to the ground.

The suspect grabbed her cell phone May 19 and ran through the Metro Park and Ride lot on South Seventh Street.

The victim followed but lost her. She called 911 from a nearby store.

She described her attacker as about 16 years old, skinny with dyed yellow-blond hair cut shot with spikes. Officers stopped

He lingered while a woman working on the store renovation left for a moment.

When she returned, she found her wallet and iPhone missing.

She gave officers the man’s description – and tracked the location of her phone to near the Renton Village Shopping Center.

A short time later the suspect turned up going through a garbage can about 10 feet from an officer’s car. Compliant, the suspect started pulling the stolen items from a cup he had hidden in the can.

After his arrest, he was searched. An officer found a syringe and a black-tar substance that a field test showed was heroin.

Officers also determined he had used the victim’s debit cards to shop at a nearby store.

Among other items, he bought 44 cans of fancy cat food.

He was arrested for investigation of drug possession, third-degree theft and forgery for using the debit and credit cards. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail.

Man warned for leaving dog in hot car The air outside was 78 degrees on May 19, but inside the older Oldsmobile sedan, a laser thermometer showed it was 116 degrees.

The officer was concerned for the pitbull-type dog inside the car, which appeared to be abandoned. A water bowl inside was bone dry.

Soon, the vehicle’s owner, a 52-year-old Seattle man, showed up, swearing at the officers and yelling “the dog is fine.” The officer asked him to calm down and watch his language.

He didn’t have anyplace to leave the dog; it wasn’t allowed inside the building where he was visiting family. He was warned for cruelty to animals.

He collapsed and was treated for chest pains by medics, who determined he was having an anxiety attack. He was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of third-degree theft.

Renton man falls victim to utility bill scam A Renton businessman got a call May 20 while out of town from a Miguel claiming to be a Puget Sound Energy representative who indicated he was late on his utility bill.

If he didn’t pay the bill right away, his utilities would be turned off. Miguel had correct billing information for the account, so he wasn’t concerned.

The businessman wasn’t totally surprised because he hadn’t seen a bill in a while. So he wired $500 via Green Dot MoneyPak. Then he got another call about his past-due account. This time he asked for a supervisor and was given a phone number to call.

He also called Puget Sound Energy. He was told the utility doesn’t collect bills in this manner and he should call police.

Magic the Gathering community helps raise nearly $30,000 for expenses [ INJURY from page 1] Mariah and her father, who works at Renton’s Wizards of the Coast, are both big Magic the Gathering enthusiasts. Her dad played on a competitive circuit for 15 years and Mariah started playing competitively when she got older. She’s been coast to coast, her dad said, playing in tournaments and building a network of friends in the Magic community.

Now that network is paying her back out of concern, helping to raise almost $30,000 for her medical expenses. Apparently the money was raised in about 24 hours.

Friends of the family created a page on giveforward.com in support of the effort.

The goal is to raise $75,000.

The family had just been approved to move to a new rental property the day Mariah got hit by the car, but now they need to find a new one-story property to accommodate Mariah’s injuries.

She suffered two broken legs, a broken shin, two broken vertebrae and internal bleeding in the incident that happened in the 800 block of Duvall Avenue Northeast.

Witnesses stated that a northbound driver in a maroon sedan drifted onto the right shoulder of the road, striking Mariah, who was walking northbound.

She was just coming back from Bellevue on the bus, from taking end of the year testing at her online high school, Insight School of Washington. Mariah was sup-

City plans pedestrian safety improvements on Duvall Avenue including HAWK signal

BY BRIAN BECKLEY bbeckley@rentonreporter.com

Plans are under way to improve road quality and pedestrian safety on Duvall Avenue, south of Sunset Avenue, near where 17-year-old Mariah Boehm was injured in a car vs. pedestrian accident May 29.

Public Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman on Monday gave a special report to the City Council highlighting some of the plans for that roadway.

Of primary concern to pedestrians is the planned installation of a “HAWK” signal at the crosswalk at Northeast 12th Street. posed to meet her dad at the Renton Transit Center, but instead got off at an earlier stop, he said, so she could just walk home.

Mariah’s father said that he is numb after everything that’s transpired.

“I was numb when I heard about the accident; I was numb when I saw her at the scene going in the ambulance; I was numb when they said she’d never walk again; then I was numb when I saw how

Now Mariah is looking at one to two months of rehabilitation at Seattle Children’s Hospital before she can go home, her father said.

The case is still open and under investigation by the Renton Police Department.

the entire country has rallied in under 24 hours to show how much they love my little panda (her nickname),” he said. “Going on Facebook and seeing all the support and all the people changing their profile pics to pandas to support her keeps me going. I’m also angry, I want to ask this lady why she hit my girl, why she took away a big part of her life, what was so important that she couldn’t pay attention?”

[ MARKET from page 1] 63 vendors at the Renton Farmers Market this season, with about 80 percent returning from years past, including Trevani Truffles, handmade chocolate truffles, bon bons and bars

by Anne Boyington of Renton.

“It’s my hometown,” she said. “I have a lot of regular customers here. Once you start getting customers, you kind of have the responsibility to show up.”

Boyington has been coming to the market for eight years with her chocolate treats. She tries to use ingredients from local farms, including some of the vendors present. She even uses mint from the Cedar River banks.

“So we try and keep it kind of local if we can,” said Boyington.

This year’s market features produce from local farms, baked goods, flowers, furniture, accessories, prepared foods, ice cream, kettle corn and all the wonders one would expect from a community farmers market.

For a complete list of vendors and to check out the harvest season, visit the website at www.rentonfarmersmarket.com.

Boehm was injured in the 800 block of Duvall Street.

The HAWK light, an acronym for “High-intensity Activated crossWalK,” features a pair of red lights that can be triggered to red to warn drivers of a pedestrian.

Zimmerman said that area has had several accidents and near-misses in recent years and is heavily trafficked by students walking to and from Hazen High School.

Because of that, it has been targeted for the new signal.

“We think that crossing needs a higher level of safety because of its history,” he said.

The new signal will be paid for as part

of a $240,000 state safety grant. Along with the HAWK signal, the city plans to use the money to install pedestrian countdown signals at 20 intersections throughout the city.

Zimmerman said the project design is nearly completed and the city plans to send it to bid in July with installation expected by December.

Zimmerman said the hope is that the red lights on the signal will get drivers’ attention better than flashing yellow lights.

“When they see the red, which the HAWK Signals have, there’s a lower likelihood they’ll drive right through it,” Zimmerman said of drivers.

Zimmerman said the city also hopes to replace the pavement on Duvall Avenue between Northeast Fourth and Northeast 12th, but the project did not rank highly in the most recent round of grant applications and may have to wait.
