Army Capt. W.W. DeLacy began surveying the unsettled wilderness accompanied by a crew of six Native Americans and three settlers; the area was so densely wooded that pack animals could not be used.

Carved out of the wilderness more than 150 years ago, Military Road encouraged settlement and commerce and enabled the movement of people and supplies throughout South King County, a legacy that continues today.

Seattle in October 1860. In South King County, Army troops camped at the three lakes the road connects: Five Mile Lake, Star Lake and Angle Lake. Five Mile Lake derives its name from the fact it is five miles from Carson’s Ferry Crossing on the Puyallup River — the same location as the modern Puyallup River Bridge.

The gravel footpath along the lake is a remnant of the original wagon road.

Tukwila’s schools target student success Crossing the finish line

BY DEAN A. RADFORD DRADFORD@TUKWILAREPORTER.COM

The Tukwila School District has a road map that will set its course for three years, based on what it values the most: its students.

For months, the Tukwila education community, from teachers and administrators to students to parents to the school board to the community, worked on a district Strategic Plan before it was adopted by the school board.

“This document is really how we will do business over the next three years,” said Supt. Nancy Coogan, and aligns with the district’s already-established core values.

At the heart of the plan is a personalized education plan for every student intended to “nurture the potential in each student,” as the plan states.

“I think that students will feel a sense, and not that they don’t now but it will be more apparent, a sense of belonging and knowing that there are caring adults with wraparound services to support them along their journey,” said Coogan.

Benchmarks or targets will mark that journey, with frequent “dipsticks” or “temperature checks,” as Coogan calls them, to check just how well students are progressing toward those targets. Students not meeting the goals may get extra help before or after school; teachers will find new ways to challenge students who exceed the goals.

“If we are not on target when we do that temperature check, that means we do a course correction,” she said. “It’s OK if we are not making progress. It’s not OK if we don’t do something about not making progress.”

Here are the plan’s six benchmarks: • Each student will make as least one year’s academic growth each year, based on multiple assessments.

• Each student in lower performing student-groups will show at least 1.5 years growth each year in Literacy/English Language Arts and Mathematics.

• At least 15 out of every 20 students transitioning between levels (i.e. Grade 5 to 6, Grade 8 to 9, Grade 12 and

beyond) will meet or exceed standards in all subjects by the end of each grade level.

• Reduce by 30 percent each year the number of students who trigger early-warning indicators of concern (i.e. attendance, discipline and grades).

• Each student in Grades 3-12 will monitor an individualized growth plan developed collaboratively with all relevant stakeholders.

• Each student will achieve the state level technology standards and will graduate as a tech-savvy, tech-literate citizen connected to the real world.

Now that the strategic plan has been adopted, the next step is implementation, “where the rubber meets the road,” Coogan said.

This summer the district’s leadership and educators are developing methods to measure those benchmarks, followed by teacher training and time for strategic planning.

“This ongoing data support and data analysis is going to be critical to the success of this plan,” said Coogan.

Coogan calls the Strategic Plan an “ongoing evolutionary document” that’s about the educational journey of each student.

“It’s how do we make sure that we get each and every student across that finish line that I call graduation,” she said.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn doesn’t want to use the word “failing” when talking about Washington’s public schools.

So he’s figured out how school district leaders in Washington can exclude it from letters they must send parents at schools deemed as failing to make the grade on a federal curve known as adequate yearly progress.

At the same time, Dorn is trying to convince the U.S. Department of Education to drop its demand that such letters be sent as required under the federal No Child Left Behind Act. That’s because the rules are such that letters will wind up going to parents of children at pretty much every school in Washington.

Avoiding an ‘F’ requires students to perform at grade level in math and reading. So when standardized test time rolls around, if a student doesn’t pass in grades 3-8 and 10, their school likely won’t show enough progress to quash the need to notify parents.

It’s a dilemma faced in just about every state.

But Washington is the only state facing the letter requirement because the others snagged waivers from the U.S. Department of Education.

This state had such a waiver but lost it this year following a legislative deadlock on including student test scores in the evaluation of teacher performance.

Dorn last month asked federal education officials to again waive the requirement to send letters. He also pledged to make sure parents are well aware of their school’s progress, and their options, which include transferring their child to another campus or receive tutoring.

His chances of succeeding are far south of slim. It relies on the feds giving up what is arguably their most punitive tool against states which fall off the NCLB waiver wagon, as Washington did.

The letters publicly shame individual schools and entire districts.

Many parents will be quick studies on what’s really going on behind the scenes. Dorn is worried about consequences in the community if these bureaucratic badges of dishonor are sent out.

“The letters’ misrepresentation that our schools are failing will erode public support for local funding — and, we think, will needlessly and dangerously distract Washington’s voters and lawmakers at a time when transparent, truthful information about our schools is most critical,” Dorn wrote to Assistant Secretary of Education Deborah Delisle.

In the meantime, Dorn drafted a model letter for districts that doesn’t specifically say schools are failing.

Rather, it explains in some detail the process of how the school did not meet one or more measurements for progress and are considered to be in “Step 1 of Improvement” — a term ripped from the federal law itself.

And it closes by pointing out the fault is not with the school but with the federal law.

multicultural and multigenerational communities.

They have experience and vision – not to mention the federal tax credits SHAG offers to investors that help pay for construction.

Another key player in Tukwila Village is the King County Library System, which is building a new 10,000-square-foot Foster Library that almost doubles the size of the current one.

So what Tukwila Village brings to Tukwila is a new gathering place, where the generations can mingle, neighbors can talk over a cup of coffee and students from nearby schools (there are four) will have access to a state-of-the art library.

Deservedly so, there will be plenty of congratulations to spread around at the Tukwila Village groundbreaking on Aug. 1. But look at it as a community celebration of persistence. Other cities may have just given up, ignoring a troubled neighborhood.

That’s not what Tukwila did.

COMMENTARY

Tukwila Village, which will jumpstart further revitalization of Tukwila International Boulevard, is 15 years in the making, fulfilling a vision by city leaders that’s even older.

While that may seem like a long time, it’s really testament to the City of Tukwila’s commitment to a neighborhood that’s been blighted by crime, seedy motels and a quality of life that no one deserves.

It’s safe to say that many have tried but no one has succeeded in building Tukwila Village – until now. The city couldn’t ask for better developers for this vibrant neighborhood center.

The Senior Housing Assistance Group has been housing senior citizens with affordable rents for years and providing them with valuable services. It has teamed many times with Pacific Northern Construction Co. to build these

EDITOR’S NOTE

4 h JULY 2014

Who are you going to call? The police, of course Why have a law if it is not going to be enforced? It’s a common question. After July 4, one usually hears about illegal fireworks. Other times, it is illegal parking, exceeding the speed limit, talking on cell phones. The list is long.

Most people want to do the right thing and we all benefit when we do. We know intuitively that to feel safe and live comfortably amidst others, we need to follow some basic rules. Sure there are viola-

tions and, irritatingly, the violators will generally go unchallenged because police cannot be everywhere. Sometimes I am thankful for that because the violator is me in a moment of inattention.

There is a way to help. Simply call the police if you have the opportunity. Someone using dangerous fireworks? Find out who and where and call it in. Confronting someone about what they are doing is a bad idea and likely to evoke a negative re-

sponse. There is the classic “Who do you think you are? The street police?” Then we have the ever popular “Mind your own (expletive) business!” Ever heard this? I have. Let’s do ourselves a favor and make a call when possible.

Foster sheds old turf

BY DEAN A. RADFORD DRADFORD@TUKWILAREPORTER.COM

Work is under way to replace the synthetic field turf at Foster High School’s Werner Neudorf Stadium.

The current turf was placed 11 years ago; because of the amount of use, it was necessary to replace it for safety reasons, said Martin Turney, executive director of finance and operations for the Tukwila School District.

“Over time, wear and tear on the field increases the chance of serious injury as the protective layer is eroded,” he said.

The track surface at the stadium is not being replaced.

Once the old turf is removed, crews will begin laying nearly 80,000 square feet of FieldTurf Revolution 2.0.

The work should be completed by early August; the field will be ready for use for the fall sports season, including football, he said.

The field may take several months to settle completely, but this will not prevent use after installation is complete, he said.

The work started July 7, with the removal of strips of synthetic turf, including the ones with “Foster” and “Bulldogs” near each end zone of the football field.

Cost to replace the turf is $489,538, including sales tax.

“Stadium rental revenue is used to offset the cost and will be held in reserve for the acquisition of the next field turf replacement,” Turney said.

The district financed the work over three years at a “favorable” interest rate, Turney said, allowing the district to keep more cash in reserve for unanticipated costs, including emergencies.

How long new turf will last varies, but it’s based on the product, care and amount of use, he said. With proper maintenance, the district expects to get 12 to 15 years of use from the field.

Foster all-class reunion is Sunday, July 20 The annual Foster High School All-Class Reunion and Picnic is Sunday, July 20, in Maple Valley.

The reunion is noon to 5 p.m. at the Royal Arch Park, 20821 Maple Valley Highway.

Do you shop for groceries in Tukwila? Your voice matters!

Recently, the City of Tukwila initiated the Grocery Store Project, with the purpose of ensuring that a quality, full-service grocery store would be able to sustainably operate near the intersection of Tukwila International Boulevard and S. 144th Street.

The City is currently partnering with Saar’s Super Saver Foods in Tukwila to better understand the grocery needs of Tukwila residents and shoppers at Saar’s. To accomplish our goal, we have designed a survey to better understand the City’s residents’ demand for groceries and expectations of Saar’s, as well as other major grocery stores that serve the community. Here’s the link to the survey: www.SurveyMonkey.com/s/GroceryStoreProject The City is committed to bringing more healthy food options to all of our residents. Please take this quick survey; your voice will be highly valued in our ongoing efforts. For more information or if staff can answer any questions, please contact the City of Tukwila Economic Development Intern at Junpei.Guo@TukwilaWA.gov. We look forward to hearing from you!

Regional Animal Services of King County reminds you that

The City of Tukwila is currently engaged in an assessment of its facilities. The process includes determining the facility needs for now and the future; evaluating the suitability and condition of the current facilities; examining plan alternatives and identifying the preferred plan; and figuring out how the plan can be accomplished.

In the past 40 years, the make-up of Tukwila has changed dramatically. Through general population growth, flourishing new communities, expansion through annexations, and ongoing development in the City’s urban center, the level of critical services required by the City has risen substantially.

Over the years more employees have been hired and equipment added, providing the needed support to keep Tukwila operating.

The facilities – buildings, workshops, and fire stations – which house the expanding service functions are often straining to accommodate the growing number of resources. Several City facilities are nearing the end of their useful lives in terms of their physical condition and the space available for City functions.

Until now, an all-inclusive assessment of the City’s facilities has never been conducted to determine what could improve the efficiencies of work processes, and how we could most efficiently plan our long-term facility investments and actions in an appropriate and cost-effective manner. In keeping with the City’s adopted Strategic Plan, this study will help the Council make decisions regarding the City’s future.

Tukwila’s Human Services Offices continues to have funding available for small housing repairs that don’t disturb old painted surfaces. Funded by Housing and Urban Development Community Block Grant funds, the Tukwila Minor Home Repair program is perfect for low- and moderate-income homeowners who are having a difficult time keeping up with small repairs and preventive maintenance.

Last year, seventeen Tukwila homeowners received assistance with jobs related to heating and hot water, small electrical, small carpentry, and plumbing. Funds are provided in the form of grants, with no financial contribution needed from the homeowner. There is a limitation as to the type of jobs and the cost; typically the homeowner can receive up to $2,000 annually (as funds are available) for work, with a maximum lifetime limit of $5,000.

To apply for the program or to be screened, contact Evie at 206-433-7180. An online application is also available at the City’s website – TukwilaWA.gov – under Human Services information.

TUKWILA VILLAGE

A new neighborhood center for Tukwila where neighbors gather, sip coffee, read a good book – and for some a new home

T Tukwila Village groundbreaking is Friday, Aug. 1 The groundbreaking for Tukwila Village is 2 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1, at Tukwila International Boulevard and South 144th Street.

Taking part in the public groundbreaking are the City of Tukwila, SHAG, King County Library System, the Tukwila Village Development Associates LLC and members of the community.

ukwila Village will break ground on Aug. 1, fulfilling a 20-year-old vision to turn a stretch of Tukwila International Boulevard into a vibrant neighborhood center.

Tukwila Village is a place to read books, get a cup of coffee, gather with neighbors, and, for many, live in affordable senior housing with services and stores nearby.

"This is one of the things that has always intrigued me from the beginning is that sort of nexus of housing and health care and community and bringing it all together in one spot," said Jay Woolford, CEO of the Senior Housing Assistance Group, one of Tukwila Village's development partners.

The cost to develop and build the three phases of Tukwila Village has been placed at more than $60 million.

The King County library System is building a new Foster Library on the Tukwila Village campus, at a cost of about $6.9 million.

So far, the city has spent about $9.6 million on Tukwila Village, mostly to purchase the project's six acres and any buildings on the land. It expects to get about half of that back when it sells the land to the village's development partners, according to Derek Speck, the city's economic development director.

Vacant land is less costly than land with buildings, which then must be demolished.

KCLS will pay the city about $500,000 for the land under its new library.

The six-acre, mixed-use Tukwila Village is about half the size of the original concept, which included about six acres just north of the

Tukwila Village ‘perfect setting’ for new KCLS library

A

centerpiece of Tukwila Village is the new Foster Library, part of the King County Library System.

“With libraries being at the heart of communities, it is the perfect setting,” said Julie Brand Acteson, KCLS interim director, said of the new library at Tukwila Village.

Construction of the new 10,000-square-foot library could begin as early as September or October, depending on when a final development agreement is signed, according to Gregory Smith, the KCLS facilities director.

current site.

For Tukwila as a whole, Tukwila Village will create a revitalized neighborhood, a gathering place, much-needed senior housing and development that will act as a catalyst for even more on the Boulevard, Speck said.

Speck has been Tukwila's economic development director for nearly 10 years, starting when Tukwila Vilage was getting back on track.

Construction will take about a year.

The new library will replace the 5,250-squarefoot library built in 1995. The total cost is about $6.9 million, with about $4 million of that going toward construction costs.

Money for the new library will come from a capital improvement bond measure that voters (including in Tukwila) in the King County Library System approved in 2004. The bond measure included money for an 8,000-square-foot library, but the KCLS Foundation is raising the extra $1 million needed to build a larger library.

But the City of Tukwila's vision for Tukwila International Boulevard (when it was known as Pacific Highway South or Pac Highway) goes back to 1998, when the City Council adopted the Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan after years of work.

The plan talked about encouraging investment along the highway by buying properties and "actively brokering development." In 2000 the city started to focus on the

neighborhood around South 144th Street and Tukwila International Boulevard.

The first or one of the first references to a Tukwila Village is in an ordinance the City Council adopted in November 2000 in which the city made the case for its right in an Urban Renewal District to condemn land to redevelop a blighted area.

Tukwila realizing dream of revitalized Tukwila International Boulevard

E

ven though it has been many years coming to fruition, I still recall the early planning that went into our vision of the Tukwila Village project and the entire Tukwila International Boulevard corridor.

In August 1998 our City Council approved a planning document titled “Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan.” In January 2000 that plan was updated to “Tukwila International Boulevard Plan,” which has remained our focus in all the city activity along this important corridor.

I like to remember the first paragraph from that planning document: “The community of Tukwila spent a number of years discussing and reviewing their options for revitalizing the Pacific Mayor Jim Haggerton Highway corridor. The City issued a draft plan in 1997 and then adopted a final plan in August 1998. The Plan is a multi-faceted, broad-spectrum approach. In the category

of real estate investment is the strategy of encouraging property acquisition and redevelopment.”

With the events of Aug. 27, 2013, in seizing the motel properties that accounted for much of the police and fire activity along this corridor and the extraordinary effort of Derek Speck, our economic development manager, we are realizing our dream.

It is ironic the original Pacific Highway Revitalization Plan was finalized in August 1998 and we are planning the groundbreaking for Tukwila Village Aug. 1, 2014,

16 years later.

The City has an excellent developer in Tukwila Village Development Associates, LLC, and I feel confident everyone will be very proud of this project when completed.

Three words come to mind over this past 16 years: patience, persistence, and determination. I sincerely appreciate everyone who stayed the course and never gave up on our original vision for this important corridor in Tukwila.

Village to offer marketrate, low-income rents [ VILLAGE from page 8] designing a vision for Tukwila Village, starting in the late 1990s when Fred McConkey started buying land near South 144th Street and Pacific Highway, which he later sold to the city.

Sabey Corp. and Tarragon designed concepts for Tukwila Village but never signed a development agreement with the city.

Projects wouldn't pencil out financially and the Great Recession stalled the realestate market.

After Tarragon withdrew from the project in June 2010, the City Council stepped back to consider the city's options. In November, the King County Library System hired an architect for its new library. And, in spring 2011, the city went looking for a new developer for Tukwila Village.

The breakthrough came in June 2011 when the city signed a development agreement with Tukwila Village Development Associates, LLC, whose two players have a long history working together to build mixed-use developments with senior housing as a centerpiece.

City officials were already familiar with the Senior Housing Assistance Group, or SHAG, which has developed low-income, senior housing throughout Western Washington financed with federal tax credits.

"Without those tax credits, this project would not pencil out," said Speck.

A developer of nonprofit housing told Speck she couldn't do Tukwila Village but she suggested that the city get ahold of Bryan Park, president of Pacific Northern Construction Co. of Puyallup, which has developed senior housing with SHAG. SHAG and Park seemed a good fit for Tukwila, with their good track record of

building such projects, Speck said. And, Tukwila needed senior housing, Speck said.

While Pacific Northern will oversee construction, SHAG will help "steer the direction that the community is going to take," said SHAG's Woolford.

"It's not restricted to seniors either," he said. "It's intended to create an intergenerational blend in the community, which is going to make Tukwila unique in that regard."

Some of SHAG's 27 communities have residents as young as 18, but generally its communities are for people 55 and older with disabilities or those 62 and older. Residents must fall below a maximum income in order to live in a SHAG community, typically about 50 or 60 percent of the median income.

The rents for the oneand two-bedroom apartJay Woolford ments are geared toward that income.

The first housing phase of Tukwila Village will offer income-qualified apartments, market-rate apartments and livework spaces, Woolford said.

For SHAG, Tukwila Village advances its mission because at its foundation is providing affordable housing to seniors, Woolford said.

SHAG has worked in diverse communities, such as Tukwila, where there is a significant unmet need for senior housing, he said. Tukwila Village "also fits into our focus around multicultural communities as well as intergenerational communities,” he said.

"We saw opportunities in Tukwila," Woolford said.

Housing communities such as Tukwila Village typically draw heavily from the local community for residents, he said,

Spokes for Folks Bike riders will pedal – some as far as 40 miles – on Sept. 13 to raise money for SHAG’s Community Life Foundation.

Spokes for Folks begins and ends at the Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Ave. S., going all the way to Pacific on the Interurban Trail.

There are three distances, each with a start time.

Start time for the fun loop is between 11 a.m. and noon, between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. for the 8-mile round trip and 9 a.m. for the 40-mile round trip.

“We are working with the city to introduce the community to SHAG in a meaningful way,” said Jay Woolford, SHAG’s executive director.

This is the event’s second year and the first time in Tukwila.

Last year Spokes for Folks raised $50,000 for the foundation, whose mission is connecting seniors living in affordable housing to the resources that support their independence.

Riders can sign up for the event online at https:// www.housing4seniors.com/spokes-for-folks. Donations are also accepted at the website. although SHAG projects also draw regionally because of their reputation.

The development team is also at work talking with potential retailers who will anchor the bottom floors of the buildings, he said. Of interest are such basic services as convenience stores, barbershops and beauty salons.

Village's second phase. However, that's not enough space to meet its needs.

But, HealthPoint has been talking with the City of Tukwila about developing the land just north of Tukwila Village on the Boulevard where there are now three motels, including two that were seized last August, according to Speck.

The city will choose the developer in a competitive process. The timeline is tight, but Speck hopes to present the developer selection process to the City Council by year's end.

The first phase of Tukwila Village is housing, the community center, the plaza and the new library, with completion expected in late 2015.

Quickly, work will begin on more housing, commercial space, parking and a police resource center on the south side of South 144th Street. SHAG and Pacific Northern Construction will move their headquarters to Tukwila Village.

The project is expected to finish in 2017.

For 20 years, residents and business owners along the Boulevard pushed city officials to breathe new life into the neighborhood, including a new neighborhood center such as Tukwila Village.

Leading the citizen effort is the Tukwila International Boulevard Action Committee; its past chairman, Mike West, will represent the committee at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Tukwila Village is "going to mean an upgrading of life for citizens along Boulevard.

I think citizens will take more pride in the Boulevard," says West.
