City seeks Chiropractor pleads guilty to sexual contact with patients to attract college F downtown Doherty will no longer lead department

ederal Way chiropractor and massage therapist Gregory Summers pleaded guilty to four counts of indecent liberties during his plea and sentencing hearing on Thursday at the Maleng Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Judge Mary Roberts sentenced Summers to 14 days of community service, revocation of his credentials and required him to register as a sex offender within 30 days. The King County Sheriff ’s Office will determine his sex offender level.

Between January 2010 and September 2012, Summers caused at least six female patients to have sexual contact with him at his office while

he provided chiropractic treatment, according to court documents.

The standard sentence for indecent liberties is zero to 12 months in jail, based on the defendant’s criminal history. Summers received 78 days in prison, but the court accepted the 64 days he already spent in custody and allowed the remaining [ more PATIENTS page 3]

The Federal Way City Council unanimously approved bringing a college to the city’s downtown as an official initiative on Tuesday.

Spearheaded by Councilwoman Kelly Maloney, the University/ College Initiative and/ or Intellectual Innovation Zone is part of city leaders’ continuing effort to revitalize the city’s downtown core.

Maloney explained some of the reasoning for having the Council adopt this idea as an “official initiative.”

“The concept is to attract and partner with colleges and universities, to locate satellite campuses in our downtown core,” Maloney said during the Council meeting on Tuesday. “These institutions will offer undergraduate and graduate degrees and they will have a focus on research and development across a broad spectrum of sectors … By locating these institutions in the downtown core, we will attract and hopefully retain businesses that want to work in concert with the colleges and universities for research and development, and then hopefully hire graduates [ more COLLEGE page 3 ]

Federal Way’s longtime Community Development Director Patrick Doherty will no longer manage the department, Mayor Jim Ferrell announced to city staff in an email on Monday.

Ferrell wrote he is currently restructuring the Economic Development and Community Development departments, which will include hiring a new Economic Development Patrick Doherty director in the coming weeks.

“As part of this restructure, Patrick Doherty will be assigned special projects involving the assessment of the Community Development Department, review of Section 108 loan requirements and an assessment of New Markets Tax Credit financing requirements, which he will be performing remotely,” Ferrell wrote, noting Chief of Staff Brian Wilson will oversee Doherty’s work.

Isaac Conlen is leading the Community Development Department in the meantime. It is likely the city will pursue a contract for an interim Community Development director during this time, Ferrell wrote in his email.

Doherty remains a city of Federal Way employee and will work on

Wednesday Farmers Market set to open at Town Square Park on the weekends for the Saturday market,” said Rose Ehl, the events director for the Federal Way Farmers Market organization. “So, we’re hoping for that goal of having the business people come and have lunch there and shop the market, take flowers back with them, fruits and vegetables back with them. We’re hoping that we catch the business crowd during the week.”

Ehl said farmers who do other markets during the week said that the lunch hour can often get really busy as people take their lunch break, she added.

Federal Way’s second farmers market of the summer is set to open next Wednesday, July 23 at the new Town Square Park in downtown.

of Federal Way said he’s also looking forward to the potentially different customer base in comparison to the Saturday Federal Way Farmers Market, which he currently participates in.

“The crowd will be more stay-at-home moms or the elderly who are retired,” he said. “On a Wednesday, people who are eager to go out will have something to do and be able to go out and enjoy some fresh air, enjoy the sunshine.”

Mirzoyan will likely have the same set-up as his booth at the Saturday market but he’s not sure if the products will be exactly the same.

He does hope to bring in bakers and other staff for the community to meet during the market so that he can continue to incorporate his business into the Federal Way community.

“Farmers markets are fun,” he said. “It’s a really nice way to get to know the local people and the community. We love to make friends and since we’re new

in the community, we love to introduce ourselves.”

Ma Boulange Bakery opened in Federal Way on Feb. 15.

Ehl said the Wednesday market will be smaller than the Saturday market at first, which has between 70-100 vendors on any given Saturday. But she hopes it will grow throughout time and have many of the same features the Saturday market has, such as fresh produce, food trucks, live entertainment and crafters with jewelry and other items.

Yoga classes, shaved ice and mini doughnuts may also make an appearance — more information to come at a later date.

Ehl said the market will have a service that allows patrons who only have a debit or credit card to pay for tokens that can then be used as cash with each farmers market vendor. The Saturday market currently has this service, she noted.

“Vendors love us to have that service for them,” Ehl said. “Often times people

Town Square Park opened on July 12 and Ehl said she’s looking forward to having that space for the market.

“There is a lot of room for vendors, for us, to expand,” she said. “It’s a wonderful atmosphere and the fact is they have permanent picnic tables, a nice

grass area and it’s near the Clarion Hotel. The manager was very excited - they’ll be able to share the market with their hotel guests who can walk across the street, have lunch and shop.”

in the plan were too high because they included an unduly high rate of return for Puget Sound Energy.”

Attorney General Bob Ferguson characterized Murphy’s decision as an “important win” for Puget Sound Energy’s ratepayers.

“The court’s ruling will ensure that customers’ rates under the multi-year plan will be fairly calculated,” Ferguson said. “Our Public Counsel believes this ruling could potentially save residential and industrial customers as much as $10

million per year.”

The Public Counsel Unit, along with Industrial Customers of Northwest Utilities, “presented evidence that given declining costs in the capital markets, and the reduced financial risk for PSE resulting from the plan, rates should be approximately $10 million lower annually.” The rates the Utilities and Transportation Commission approved last year were “based on the rate of return approved for Puget Sound Energy in its last rate case in 2011.”

In her ruling, Murphy indicated the case would be returned to the commission “for further legal proceedings to determine the rate.”

The Attorney General’s Office notes that the Public Counsel Unit “also challenged the rate plan’s automatic annual increases over several years, but the court denied that portion of the appeal.”

Summers offered an apology to his patients who were harmed, including one present who gave courtroom testimony.

“S.L.,” one of Summers’s patients, said he touched her inappropriately between January 2010 and December 2011 and though it made her uncomfortable, Summers’s treatments gave her relief from back pain.

“I assumed that he was just very thorough,” S.L said in her testimony.

Her visits to Summers’s office upset her significant other and was the source of stress and tension, she said.

When accusations against Summers surfaced, S.L. was first panicked, then embarrassed and humiliated, she said.

“I’ll never forget the look on my dad’s face,” she said.

“I felt ashamed and stupid.

I blamed myself for being so naive.”

Her experience left her questioning every relationship she has with a male and makes her reluctant to seek help for her remaining back pain, she said.

“I want Dr. Summers to own up to what he has done,” she said. “I want him to admit that what he did was not OK.” Though Summers pleaded guilty to take responsibility for the harm he caused his victims, he

She added that a combination of factors in Federal Way’s downtown “means jobs for Federal Way residents,” and would “provide higher education opportunities for Federal Way residents.”

Part of the initiative would help lowincome students with tuition costs.

whether any institutions would be interested in placing a satellite campus in Federal Way. Other Council members said the initiative will move the city another step in the right direction.

“I grew up in Tacoma, and when I look at what’s happened in downtown, I don’t believe it would have happened without the University of Washington coming in,” Councilwoman Susan Honda said. “Tacoma had a plan for their downtown, but without the University of Washington coming in,

“I concur very much,” said Councilwoman Dini Duclos. “I think having a university or college downtown would be great.”

This initiative joins other major projects the Council recently approved for the city’s downtown core, among them Town Square Park and the Performing Arts and Conference Center.

thought the contact was a normal part of chiropractic treatment, said Steve Adams, Summers’s attorney. There was no force involved, nor was Summers sexually gratified by the encounters, Adams said.

“My purpose was only to use all my medical knowledge for all my patients every day,” Summers said during his hearing.

In addition to no contact orders for each victim, Summers will be required to make monetary payments and restitution. He will also be in community custody for 12 months.

Summers attended chiropractic school in Portland before settling down to open his practice in Federal Way. Since charges were filed against him, Summers has sold his chiropractic business and has separated from his wife, Adams said.

However, the circumstances surrounding Doherty’s position is unclear, including what his new title is, why he’s performing his duties remotely and how long he will be working on these special projects.

Doherty, in the meantime, is one of two finalists for a Community Services and Economic Development director position with the city of Edmonds.

He and the second finalist, Jackie Maclean former Community and Human Services director for King County, were interviewed by the Edmonds City Council on Monday, according to an article on myedmondsnews.com.

Doherty, who has been with the city since 2001 in various roles, could not be reached for comment.

Return Adam Smith to Congress

I

n the Aug. 5 primary election, Federal Way voters will elect a representative to the U.S. House of Representatives for District 9.

Voters should base their decision on someone who knows the district, which stretches from Tacoma to Bellevue.

That person is incumbent U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, D-Bellevue. Now in his ninth term, the former prosecutor has a firm understanding of Federal Way and has shown leadership in Congress for years. Smith deserves re-election to continue his work serving District 9.

He makes customer service his No. 1 priority and is committed to working with people to solve problems, striving to overcome gridlock in Washington, D.C. Smith serves as ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee and has advocated for military personnel and their families. He has worked to ensure the Pentagon spends taxpayer dollars efficiently.

Regarding global climate change, Smith believes the U.S. should lead by example and help develop efficient energy, such as clean coal, and sell these technologies to other countries. He also sees income inequality as a huge economic problem and believes the nation is losing consumers by shrinking the middle class.

Three other candidates are on the ballot, all with some potential.

Donovan “Don” Rivers, a Democrat who lives in Seattle, is a minister and founder of the Board for All Clergy, All Community, Advisory Council. Through this organization, Rivers has been hailed a champion in finding solutions and settling differences between the criminal justice system and diverse community members by providing mediation with the help of local clergy. His motto is that money doesn’t rule him; success does.

Republican candidate Doug Basler, of Kent, is running to unseat Smith, who he believes is a career politician. Basler said the No. 1 issue facing the country is fiscal responsibility and he is committed to working to protect jobs by protecting the strong local and regional economy.

Independent candidate Mark Greene is founder of the so-called Revived Citizens Party and appeals to some Democrats. A writer and legal assistant, Greene touts that he stands for the “common” man and woman and is “not a water-carrier for big business special interests.”

But District 9 needs a seasoned veteran who knows the system and can best serve our area. Smith is a solid choice for District 9 and the Mirror endorses re-electing him.

Traffic photo enforcement unconstitutional This is a response to the Federal Way Forum article in your July 4 edition regarding the city’s traffic cameras. The article was titled “Benefits of Federal Way’s traffic photo enforcement,” written by Police Chief Andy Hwang.

The writer makes some great points but he is missing one very important point: Is the law constitutional? In my opinion, traffic photo enforcement is unconstitutional based on my interpretation of the fifth, sixth and 14th amendments.

The Fifth Amendment states you do not have to be a witness against yourself, hence the phrase “I plead the

The rise and fall of Patrick Doherty Patrick Doherty’s career in Federal Way City Hall started about 15 years ago. However, it has been in the last four years that he has become the most visible face of city government.

First, he was head of Economic Development, then Community Development was added and finally he completed his portfolio by leading the effort to pass the Performing Arts and Conference Center. He held sway over so much of the civilian influence in city government that he seemed to have his own political constituency in Performing Arts and Conference Center supporters, senior Council members and some development interests.

But while the rise of Doherty’s career took 15 years, its decline has taken less than six months as Mayor Jim Ferrell seeks to reshape his administration and the community. Doherty has been assigned to special projects and will work remotely. It is unlikely he will return.

As director of Economic Development, he worked with the business community and development interests to bring jobs to the city. It is not an easy assignment and is frequently subject to being second guessed.

During the 2010 mayoral election, both Skip Priest and Jim Ferrell promised more action on

producing jobs for the community. After Priest’s victory, some City Hall followers felt certain that Doherty would be gone within the first month.

Not only wasn’t he fired, he convinced the frugal Priest to combine his job with the Community Development director, since incumbent Greg Fewins was retiring. That would save the city a director’s salary, but it also worried some who were concerned about having both the development and regulatory authority controlled by the same person. They are frequently kept separate to ensure a check and balance on how much “deal making” can occur.

Ethical worries aside, Doherty’s time for these two major responsibilities would become minimal, as Priest elevated his interest in the Performing Arts and Conference Center, which became Doherty’s prime public vehicle.

Doherty is smart and articulate and seemed tailor-made for the project. However, he received a significant amount of criticism as the public challenged the cost and the priority of the Performing Arts and Conference Center compared to other city needs. At the same time, Doherty was also getting pointed comments from business leaders who were dissatisfied with [ more ROEGNER, page 5 ] Bob Roegner

Fifth.” The camera can only take a picture of the back of the car and the back of the driver’s head. The camera and city have no idea who is driving the car, only that this vehicle ran the light and was registered to a person. If the judge asks you who was driving the car, you cannot commit perjury but you are also innocent until proven guilty. By pleading the Fifth, all you are saying to the court is that it is the city’s responsibility to prove who was driving the car. The only way to prove that is to have law enforcement stop the car after the infraction.

The Sixth Amendment to the Constitution says we, as citizens, have the right to

face our accuser. The accuser in this case is a camera. The individual who looks at the picture cannot tell by the photo who is driving the car, so they cannot be a credible witness.

The 14th Amendment basically protects the individual against any state or city from breaking the Constitution.

Many scholars call this our second bill of rights.

A few years ago, my wife and I received a cameraenforced traffic violation on our car. Neither one of us were driving the car at that time. I took the citation to court. The judge asked if I was the driver and I said no.

The second question was if I knew who the driver was

and I said yes. If the judge was going to ask who was the driver I was going to plead the Fifth based on my constitutional rights. But the judge did not ask the question; she dismissed the citation. This proved to me that the courts do not believe the enforcement cameras are constitutional, unless the picture taken can prove who the driver was.

If our only goal as a society was protection first, Constitution second, then what is the use of having a court or Constitution? Arguments for and against certain laws are great and need to be continued. But ultimately, a decision needs to be made based on the Constitution.

My belief is courts should rule against traffic photo enforcement.

Ashamed city used gimmick to fund performing arts center The Mirror’s July 11 edition did not state the reason for the congressional rejection of the city’s request for federal New Markets Tax Credits funds for the Performing Arts and Conference Center.

Future denials of federal funds are also a certainty, in my opinion.

The Performing Arts and Conference Center project [ more LETTERS, page 6 ]

the city’s economic development efforts. They noted that several businesses left town or sparred with city government over regulations. Some business leaders were shocked to learn that City Hall was unaware a local, high profile business had actually relocated to another town.

The Performing Arts and Conference Center and the city’s economic development efforts also took center stage in the 2013 mayoral rematch between Priest and Ferrell. Priest, as the incumbent, defended the Performing Arts and Conference Center and economic development, and by extension Doherty’s efforts, while Ferrell attacked the same issues and suggested more could be done.

Again, many City Hall watchers expected Doherty to be among the first to leave city government after Ferrell’s win. As he had before, Doherty confounded parties who wanted him gone and survived.

Ferrell switched sides on the Performing Arts and Conference Center issue and needed Doherty to help push the project through to passage by the City Council.

Doherty’s credibility with some Council members and key Performing Arts and Conference Center supporters was crucial.

But, while the city administration pushed for approval of the Performing Arts and Conference Center, changes that would end Doherty’s career in Federal Way were already underway. First, Ferrell separated the Economic Development directorship from Doherty and started looking for someone who could concentrate on that agenda full-time. Interviews are currently in progress.

Secondly, after the Council passed the Performing Arts and Conference Center and it moved from conceptual planning to the pre-construction phase, a different leadership team would be needed. Doherty would not be part of that effort.

Doherty was trying to fill the jobs of three people and that is an unfair expectation. It is also a recipe for failure. But Doherty didn’t fail so much as he focused his efforts on getting the Performing Arts and Conference Center approved, which is what both Priest and Ferrell wanted. In doing that he left a lot of ground uncovered and ripe for dissent.

When the tax credit plan to help pay for the project wasn’t funded by the federal government in this cycle, that may have been the last straw, as local expectations were high. It may or may not be funded in the future but the lack of federal support made it feel like a failure and it was Doherty’s issue. Spin control efforts by the city to downplay the issue seemed weak. It is likely Doherty knew his support in city government was slipping as he is a finalist for a job in Edmonds.

If the Performing Arts and Conference Center is eventually built, Doherty should get a significant amount of credit. If the financial plan, which now appears fragile, continues to have problems, he should get some of the blame as well. Although, in either event many others will share the outcome.

The surprise isn’t that Doherty is leaving, but that he survived this long with so much on his plate.

Motorists: Fix leaks so you ‘Don’t Drip and Drive’ FROM STAFF REPORTS

Puget Sound Starts Here is offering a coupon for free visual leak inspections and a repair discount so that motorists in King County can find an affordable fix and keep pollutants out of the Puget Sound.

The “Don’t Drip and Drive” campaign from the team at Puget Sound Starts Here helps inform people throughout Puget Sound on how to check for vehicle leaks so they can keep their cars running great while protecting local waters.

Studies show that two-thirds of drivers will fix a leak within three months of when they find it.

Every year, more than 7 million quarts of motor oil drips out of vehicles and onto streets and parking lots, much of it ending up in streams, lakes and the Puget Sound, according to King County officials.

The campaign, along with participating repair shops across western Washington, is offering car owners a free visual leak inspection – a diagnostic service valued at up to $80 – available now through September. If the inspection reveals a problem, the car owner will receive a coupon for 10 percent off service to fix the problem (up to $50). Repair coupons expire Sept. 30.

does not remotely qualify as a blight remedy for an impoverished area. The criteria does not pertain to the federal program’s intended purpose, just as a request for Community Development Block Grant funds did not when former Mayor Skip Priest pursued that source to fund the center.

Both efforts are a perversion of those programs’ intent.

I’m ashamed our city tried that gimmick.

The average Federal Way household income is well above the national poverty level. Conversely, even if not yet a blighted community, the inevitable new taxation will promote that eventual condition, not remedy it.

Vacant commercial property is not blight.

Economic development is not a likely consequence of building the Performing Arts and Conference Center, nor is revenue guaranteed, both as demonstrated by our history.

A tax increase is highly likely. Also per our history, Federal Way’s utility tax was first imposed in 1996.

The promise of economic development was also made in 1996 to beg the city’s effort to construct the Knutzen Theatre and Dumas Bay Centre. Those projects were pitched as sure-fire magnets for commerce and prosperity. Ha, that didn’t happen.

The local arts that used Knutzen, as friends of city leaders, felt no need

After 13 years of drain on the city’s budget, the deadbeat Centerstage Theatre art group inherited the operation of the theater just so the city would be relieved of the budget drain from Knutzen’s huge management and operation costs.

Federal Way’s history with theater business is a failure. Future money for that again is a proven bad investment.

Federal funding is totally inappropriate. I applaud Congress for realizing that by not approving the city’s request for funds. Public money on any level is wrong. Private money is stupid.

Business friendly city policy — not imprudent obligations — attracts new business.

It’s unlikely that any source will relieve Federal Way taxpayers of the burden to pay for this project that pleases city leaders but not the average citizen. We’ll be saddled with this debt for many years.

Even if a real dumb venture capitalist put up the capital, the biggest expense will come later (maintenance and operation).

As we did with the Knutzen Theatre, we’ll pay forever or until the facility is unloaded onto another needy arts group as the Knutzen was.

This time the debt will be on an exponentially larger scale and, ultimately, we likely may qualify for impoverished community federal funds

Tips to improve the traffic camera system I read your factual article on the red light camera system and there were several glowing omissions, which I brought up when I had a private meeting with the city mayor and police chief.

Those omissions include the following: 1. There should be a minimum five second interval between yellow and red lights at the three intersections so it doesn’t go red while cars are still going through the intersection (as is happening now).

2. They shouldn’t be ticketing motorists for right turns as it is too controversial (as is happening now).

3. They should have fixed the traffic light system at these intersections BEFORE they installed the red light cameras (case in point — traffic going north to south at 348th and 16th Avenue South; lights need to be visually monitored and controlled manually by a qualified individual based on traffic patterns/time of day).

AT VillAge green SUMMER FREEdoM MEANS

SUMMER FUN!

4. School speed zone traffic cameras on 21st Avenue South are illegal as they are too far from Saghalie Middle School.

They should be installed on 348th pedestrian crossing instead.

5. And finally, if the city is going to have a red light camera system, infractions should be processed by city personnel (like the city of Auburn does) — not contracted out.

Thank you, Rep. Kochmar A special thank you goes out to Rep. Linda Kochmar for providing more than 500 U.S. pocket Constitutions for distribution to our local high school civics classes in September, which is Constitution Month.

Kochmar has proven to be a dedicated and hardworking leader in our 30th Legislative District community.

School district should expand military service programs I hope the Federal Way Mirror will continue to be a vehicle for communicating issues expressed by concerned members of the community to generate thoughts from the community at large.

Thank you very much for publishing my recent letter to you. Comments

Summertime and the living is easy at Village Green.

When Village Green is your home you can count on having a great group of staff members to lead you down a path of pure enjoyment. It is our joy to be sure you experience a creative and stimulating program of activities. Our annual summer camp is no exception.

and concerns may become indicative of broadly supported views.

It seems opportune at this time following the Fourth of July holiday weekend to cite one point of interest expressed at recent public school board meetings. It is that the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) program is not offered at all our high schools. We have very successful programs with the Air Force JROTC at Todd Beamer and Federal Way High School.

McChord Air Force Base being so close makes this a logical connection, however, we also have a strong regional connection to the Army at Fort Lewis and the Navy at Bremerton and Whidbey Island.

When we returned to Federal Way in 2012, the city had just been cited as an All American City under a regional award with Seattle. It seems appropriate for the Federal Way Public School District to expand their support to all the services through JROTC programs. JROTC offers one more set of ropes and ladders for students to latch onto and find a way up to success.

The programs offer leadership training, structure, self-discipline, and proven positive results on academic achievement and graduation rates.

The proximity of Joint Base Lewis McChord and our current connection to the Air Force ROTC makes for an easy choice to seek an Army ROTC regiment for either Thomas Jefferson or Decatur High School. The other could seek a Navy ROTC regiment. There is also a Marine Corps JROTC program.

If the community would be in support of such an initiative, the board could move quickly to get the

schools in the queue with an application. Many costs are covered by the military, but there is some cost to run the program that must be supported in the budget.

There is a waiting list, but if we are not on it, then we will never get it.

If we are on it, then our members in Congress might help move us up that list because the bases we have in the State of Washington support major military operations.

Some university campuses prohibit the military from recruiting on their campuses. I would be extremely surprised if the Federal Way community had an aversion to having a military JROTC presence in the other high schools, but I could also be wrong.

Expansion of the JROTC program has been raised at a number of public board meetings, but for reasons unknown to me, Federal Way Public Schools has not supported these requests.

It seems an easy step to take to help the success rate for our students by offering one more way to find their place in the world.

I have to believe there are plenty of community organizations, military families and veterans in Federal Way that would gladly help push the school district in the all American city of Federal Way to expand support to all the JROTC services.

Thank you for offering the opportunity to reach out to the community at large.

I hope the Federal Way Mirror proves to be a great forum for gauging where the community stands on areas for improvement across the school district.

MARINE HILLS SWIM TEAM STARTS SUMMER STRONG FROM STAFF REPORTS

The Marine Hills Swim Team “is working on another dominant season in the Seattle Summer Swim League,” according to team officials.

The season started on June 26th, when Marine Hills hosted Lakeridge. The Lakeridge team came “ready to spoil the three year unbeaten streak,” and looked poised to do so, when they opened up a 30-point lead early on. Marine Hills battled back, retaking the lead with approximately 10 of the 72 events left, eventually holding on to win 360-338.

Team officials noted that Jack Springer broke a 43-year-old record in the 9-10 year old 100-yard individual medley, recording a time of 1:13:07.

The team followed up with wins over Arbor Heights and OlympicView on July 1 and July 8.

Against Arbor Heights, the Marine Hills swimmers won 425-310. The meet against OlympicView was for the “Ye Old Tin Cup”, and marked the 51st meet between the two teams.

In that particular competition, OlympicView has the lifetime edge with 30 wins, but Marine Hills extended their 4-year win streak to a fifth year, winning 436-303.

This week, the Fish and Tree swimmers, as they’re known, headed to the Kent Swim and Tennis Club, in a David vs Goliath showdown, with Marine Hills as David and Kent as Goliath, because Kent has a team twice as large as Marine Hills.

The meet had the teams within one point of each other with five freestyle events left to go. The results were still being determined as of Wednesday, with the initial results having Marine Hills as the winner and the second go-round putting Kent as the winner.

Marine Hills has two meets left this summer — in Normandy Park and and with cross-town rivals Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club.

Pro golfer with MS to play in tournament

BY ALISA GRAMANN agramann@fedwaymirror.com

S

ince she was a child, Heather Drew knew she wanted to compete in the Ladies Professional Golf Association.

She graduated from University of Arizona in 1981 and just a few months later turned pro.

“It was something I really wanted to do,” she said.

For the next 18 years, Drew competed in tournaments, taking second place several times as well as making the top 10 often, she said.

Drew will be one of as many as 60 women to participate in the 2014 Pepsi Northwest Women’s Open at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club in Federal Way. Drew describes golf as a sport that needs singleminded focus to overcome the challenges — and her own golfing career has included many adversities.

In 1996 she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, an incurable, chronic disease that attacks the Central Nervous System.

When she was diagnosed, Drew was afraid of the unknown, she said.

“I just thought everything was over,” she said.

Drew didn’t know much about MS before her diagnosis, and when she received it her misconceptions painted a picture of

a life much different than her golfing career, she said.

She thought she might need a walker or a wheelchair.

But each case of MS can manifest itself differently, and Drew’s manifestation is numbness, she said.

People often think multiple sclerosis is always debilitating ­­— and Drew thought so too, at first. “[But] if you have MS, it doesn’t mean your life is over,” Drew said.

In 1999 Drew retired from professional golf. But golfing had been a part of her whole life, so she couldn’t stay away. In 2000 she returned to the course as a caddy and carried gear for other competitors until 2010, when she decided to once again golf professionally, she said.

She had golfed intermittently when she was a caddy, but she made her reentrance into the sport in 2011.

“Golfers are optimists,” she said.

In May 2013, her dedication paid off and Drew won her first tournament — the LPGA Teaching and Club Professionals western division tournament.

Though Drew is in it to win it for every tournament, more precious to her are the relationships she has developed with her peers, she said.

Since her diagnosis, Drew takes a medical injection three times a week. MS

doesn’t affect her game or her body.

“Physically, everything is A-OK,” she said.

The focus Drew used to attack and overcome her diagnosis was the same focus she used to attack each golf match.

“What I’m trying to do is hopefully be an inspiration,” she said.

Her own misconceptions about multiple sclerosis were, in part, due to not knowing a person could continue to be active despite it, she said. Now, Drew uses her story to encourage other MS patients through patient programs. Though her story is supposed to inspire others, she often leaves feeling inspired herself and she uses her golfing career to carry on the cycle of inspiration.

“You don’t have to give up on what you love just because you have a disease,” she said.

The Women’s Open will be July 22 and 23, with preevent activities on July 21, including pro-am and kids clinics.

The Kusak Cup will kick off the three-day event at 7:30 a.m. July 21. Eight professionals and two amateurs will compete in five individual matches. Professionals and sponsors will play in the Nike Pro-Am at 12:30.

Following the conclusion of the pro-am, a banquet will be held for all tournament participants.

Two from Federal Way head to national track meet

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

Kayla Johnson and Brett Ellingson will be representing Federal Way at the Hershey’s national track meet, which is set for July 31-Aug. 3 in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

They will both be competing in the softball throw and their parents say the duo is eager to make the trip and compete.

“He’s so excited,” said Trish Ellingson, Brett Ellingson’s mom.

“It’s really, really exciting,” said his father Jim Ellingson.

Kayla Johnson’s dad, Mike Johnson, said his daughter’s success seemed like it’s something she was destined to experience.

“She actually qualified last year for nationals as a 9-year-old, she is in the 9/10 division and last year she won the Western

region for the 9/10 division,” he said. “When we went last year, she was the only 9-year-old there; she placed sixth out of ten.”

According to Mike Johnson, last year the winning throw at nationals was approximately 120 feet. She eclipsed that twice already this year, with a throw of 124-9 at the district meet and a state-record throw of 128-9 at the state meet.

“We’re hoping that we can sneak in a national championship here in a couple of weeks,” her dad added.

For both studentathletes, baseball ties them together outside of their track and field participation. Kayla Johnson is the only girl on the Little League baseball team that Brett Ellingson is also on.

“She’s been playing baseball, she plays on the Knights right now,” Mike

Johnson said. “She’s the only girl in the league, she catches and bats third.”

For the Ellingsons, the national meet comes among “a lot of baseball,” according to Jim Ellingson.

“We’ve got four kids … and everybody’s going a lot of different directions right now,” he said, noting that other members of the family are also heavily active in sports.

Participants in the Hershey’s national track meet had to have the best marks out of regional areas. For the Pacific Northwest, that includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska, Alberta, British Columbia, Yukon and the Northwest territories.

Heather Drew began golfing as a young girl but retired in 1999 after she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease that attacks the Central Nervous System. In 2011 she returned to her professional career. Drew will compete at the 2014 Pepsi Northwest Women’s Open in Federal Way July 21 - 23. Contributed photo The tournament begins at 9 a.m. on Tuesday for the first 18 holes. Players will be re-matched for Wednesday’s 18 holes based on scores from the first day.

Wednesday’s matches begin

at 7:30 a.m. with an awards ceremony following the final round.

Fight breaks out after singing: At 1:10 a.m. July 12 in the 1600 block of S. 308th St., a fight ensued after a woman walked through an apartment complex singing loudly.

Woman reports assault, gets angry at responding officer: At 2:15 p.m. July 12 in the 33400 block of 24th Ave. SW, a woman reported that a male assaulted her son four days prior and threatened to “shoot up her house” and “burn down the neighborhood.” When the officer asked why the woman waited four days to report the incident, she became upset and began cursing and yelling and slammed the door in the officer’s face.

Woman admits herself for med use, reports assault: At 8:06 p.m. July 12 in the 2200 block of S. 312th St., a woman admitted herself to St. Francis hospital for overuse of a prescription medicine.

The ex-boyfriend violated a no contact order and has eight previous order violation convictions. The suspect fled before police arrived.

Toddlers found wandering alone at night: At 11:27 p.m.

July 11 in the 2100 block of S. 300th St., police found toddlers

outside alone at night. The children were found shoeless and scantily dressed huddled in blankets next to a chain link fence. Both children said they were on a walk with their father and got lost. The girl gave police officers her name and her brother’s name, but neither child knew where they lived. The boy had a red scrape above his eyebrow and a red scratch down his face, which his sister said came from running into the grill. Police identified a possible relative’s house and were able to wake up a man who identified himself as the children’s grandfather. The man said the children lived with him since their parents split up, but he is not the legal guardian. The man did not know where either parent was and told police he had put the children to bed and went to sleep himself. Police referred the case to Child Protective Services because the children were found 420 feet from the home and had crossed a busy residential intersection alone at night without the man realizing they were gone.

A Federal Way police officer is on administrative leave after he struck a masked, armed suspect with his patrol vehicle on July 14.

The 18-year-old suspect was booked into jail for first-degree robbery after recently getting out of the hospital for minor, non-lifethreatening injuries. He’s suspected of robbing a drug dealer selling marijuana.

The patrol officer stopped the drug-deal-gone-bad at 1 p.m. that day when he

saw the man dart from the Dumas Bay Centre toward him, carrying a handgun.

According to Federal Way police, the uniformed patrol officer was driving a fully marked police car on Dash Point Road in the 3200 block.

Believing an armed robbery had just occurred, the officer hit the suspect with his car. Another 18-yearold joined the suspect but fled on foot when he saw the officer. The second man was located nearby by other police officers and taken into custody for questioning. He has since

been arrested, according to Deputy Chief Kyle Sumpter.

No shots were fired and the officer was uninjured, although two handguns were recovered at the scene. The suspect who was hit was transported to a local hospital. Sumpter said there was no broken bones and nothing severe.

Police are no longer searching for the drug dealer the suspect allegedly stole from.

Sumpter said the drug dealer was not arrested, however, prosecution for illegally dealing marijuana

is still a viable option for police, which would equate to a misdemeanor criminal offense.

It’s unclear whether the suspect pointed the gun at the officer before he was hit, as Federal Way police have yet to interview the patrol officer, however, Sumpter said, “it would not matter, we train our officers not to wait for the pointing because then it would be too late.”

Both suspects’ last known address is in Federal Way and are known to police in the area, Sumpter said.

Church daycare bus driver pleads not guilty to molesting girl

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

The bus driver of a Federal Way church daycare pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to molesting a 6-yearold girl as she rode the bus one morning to school.

Oscar Raul Lopez, 57, is being held in jail on a $250,000 bail, despite recent failed efforts to reduce the amount, be released on recognizance or attain a referral for less restrictive

custody.

Lopez was charged with first-degree child molestation on June 23 for allegedly inappropriately touching the girl as he drove her from Bethel Christian Church’s daycare to her school, charging documents state.

The girl reported the alleged abuse to her mother the day after she said it occurred. During a forensic interview with the girl, she told police that in late

Q&A with Mr. Federal Way: Flower beards, fireworks and Facebook Q

: Mr. Federal Way, what’s your take on all these lawsuits against the school district regarding discrimination, etc.? Is the district really that corrupt or is this a case of people smelling blood in the water and joining the fray?

A: Mr. Federal Way thinks it is unfortunate Federal Way school district officials continue to decline to comment on these matters, as there are probably some legitimate reasons why things were handled the way they were.

The school districts’ overall intentions are good, so no, Mr. Federal Way doesn’t believe there’s a set agenda for corruption.

Stuff happens, but

readers have to admit this “stuff ” hasn’t always generated the best headlines.

For those of you who aren’t regular readers, the school district is currently involved in a discrimination lawsuit against a TAF Academy humanities teacher, who is African American and was asked to read a poem titled “Nigger Lips” as the only African American at the school.

And there’s also the case where the school board was recently berated by an anti-racism advocate for allegedly discriminating against an African American student at Sacajawea Middle School.

The incident allegedly caused a Native American security guard to be terminated when he spoke

up.

Read the Mirror’s version for more details.

These are only the two most recent cases.

Mr. Federal Way thinks the first one is legit, the second — there may be more to the story, which is being kept under wraps.

But whether the district has good reasons for not talking or not, their actions in keeping mum and the mere fact that public records requests take a minute (or several thousand) to fulfill, have caused the Federal Way Mirror staff to work with what they’ve got.

Opening Early 2015

And often they only have the people’s word, the records that are available and the knowledge that the school district — the largest employer in Federal Way — is an entity directly involved in our children’s future and should be held to the highest degree possible.

Federal Way is a diverse community with a lot of people in power. Some ethnic groups are represented, some aren’t. Some people who work for the school district may be racist, some aren’t.

Racism and discrimination are sensitive topics but Mr. Federal Way believes there needs to be an active discussion when cases such as these are brought forward so that it is no longer swept under the rug.

Racism exists, discrimination exists. Federal Way Public Schools officials are not perfect individuals and mistakes happen but it is up to them whether a huge public matter will be something they learn from or continue to repeat.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, fireworks are banned in the city of Federal Way but for three hours the night of July 4 I felt like I was living in a war zone out here in Twin Lakes.

I never once saw a police unit come by. Yes, they were likely busy with the Red, White and Blues celebration and I know they are spread thin. So anyhow, just how many

citations did the Federal Way Police Department write this year for violating the fireworks ban?

Seems to me it is not effective at all. What do you think?

Signed, Still Shaking in Twin Lakes.

A: Dear Still Shaking in Twin Lakes, according to South King Fire and Rescue, firefighters responded to 32 fireworks-related incidents between June 28 to July 5.

Just outside of that timeframe was an incident that involved exploded mortar that cost a 37-year-old man part of his hand and a $15,000 garage fire.

Fireworks damaged $100,000 worth of roofs and decks and two residents required hospitalizations.

So to answer your question, yes there were more pressing matters than basic fireworks citations on the Fourth of July.

Nonetheless, police were still called 118 times for fireworks-related complaints, which accounted for more than half of their total calls for service count.

The city’s Fourth of July 2014 After-Action Report states police charged 17 people, issued 91 warnings and confiscated approximately 250 pounds of fireworks.

My question to you, Still Shaking in Twin Lakes, is did you call 911 during the three hours of your misery or did you do just that — sit in your misery? Why not be proactive in your happiness, which to Mr. Federal Way seems quite the opposite of happy. Federal Way-

ans break the laws with real crime every day, in what way did you think it would be any different on Fourth of July?

Q: Mr. Federal Way, what is this ridiculous hipster trend of men taking photos with flowers in their beards?

A: Well, you caught Mr. Federal Way in an, ahem, awkward moment.

Mr. Federal Way typically doesn’t let the man scruff get past a certain length but not this week.

Flower beards have certainly been around for some time with photos dating back to 1977, according to DeMilked, a design milking magazine, but hipsters have just flocked to the idea with many believing it’s a mockery of women’s obsession with flower crowns, a symptom of summer, music festivals and beautiful youth, of course.

Federal Way Mirror reporter Greg Allmain refused to join the trend with Mr. Federal Way, citing allergies as a deterrent, however, Mr. Federal Way thinks it adds a bit of fancy, don’t you think?

Don’t mind the bugs that will likely get caught in my face, it’s all about how many likes under Mr. Federal Way’s profile picture will collect.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, do you have a Facebook or will you be getting one anytime soon?

A: None of your business.

License Pending

BY ALISA GRAMANN

Federal Way police are searching for a man accused of masturbating in front of a woman at a gas station and fleeing the scene after he frightened her on Sunday morning.

The man allegedly parked his car next to the victim’s vehicle, blocking her in the parking lot at the AM/PM at 27202 Pacific Highway South, according to the police report.

The man allegedly waved to get her attention and when she looked at

him she could see he was masturbating, the report continues.

The woman told police she was “shocked” and “grossed out” by the man and motioned for him to leave.

He moved his car and as he drove away in front of her, she took a photo of his license plate, which she gave to police.

She later identified the suspect in a photo montage police compiled.

The man she identified matched the car’s registered owner.

Police also obtained

video footage of the incident from the gas station that shows the driver leaving the scene in a hurry, according to the police report.

Officers checked both of the man’s recent documented addresses in Kent and Federal Way — both near the gas station — but were unable to locate him.

There is probable cause to charge the suspect with indecent exposure, according to the police report.

The Mirror does not name suspects who have not been charged with a crime.

Council approves two controversial traffic circles

BY ALISA GRAMANN agramann@fedwaymirror.com

The Federal Way City Council approved the installation of two controversial traffic circles located at Southwest 330th Street and Third Avenue Southwest and Southwest 330th Street and Sixth Avenue Southwest at a regular meeting on Tuesday.

The Council also approved $90,000 to fund the project.

Though there is no start date yet, the city hopes to have Bob Celski the project completed by the end of October, said Erik Preston, senior traffic engineer.

City officials conducted studies that show drivers around Sixth Avenue Southwest go an average of 37 mph, despite the posted speed of 25 mph and Third Avenue Southwest has a sight distance issue. Due in part to these issues, the two intersections earned nine points on the city’s ranking scale, the highest received, Preston said.

“This is a pretty testy issue on both sides, but an important issue, and I don’t think we can water that down,” said Councilman Bob Celski, chairman of the Land Use and Trans-

portation Committee.

Many community members also attended the meeting to offer public comments both in support and opposition to the proposal of two traffic circles.

While most citizens recognized a speeding issue, many had concerns about the traffic circles and offered alternatives, including speed tables and widening the road.

Concerns included traffic backups due to congestion from the circles and the ability to quickly receive emergency responses.

Rob Graf, president of the Ridge Homeowners Association, noted that of the seven accidents on the stretch of road in question, one was at the Third Avenue Southwest intersection where the average speed is 26 mph, whereas six accidents occured at the Sixth Avenue Southwest intersection, where the average speed is 37 mph.

Scott Chase and Pat Simmons, president and vice president of the West Campus II Homeowners Association, asked the Council to approve the traffic circles.

“We need traffic calming measures,” Simmons said.

“This is a pretty testy issue on both sides, but an important issue and I don’t think we can water that down.”

Other citizens expressed doubt that the circles would effectively control the safety issues and could create more risks, as drivers try to take the right-of-way in the circle.

Councilwoman Dini Duclos shared that concern, saying she has experienced that in a circle near Fred Meyer, were drivers on the main road take the right-of-way from drivers entering the circle from side roads.

Other community members, including Kevin Burns, expressed concern that money may be wasted by forgoing cheaper, but asefficient, traffic controls.

“I rather doubt anything I’ll say will change anyone’s mind, but I’ll say it anyhow,” Burns said.

Ann Woolman, president of the Latitude Condominiums Homeowners Association, said Federal Way already has too many traffic obstacles and the circles will be overkill.

After some discussion on alternatives, the Council approved funding and construction of the traffic circles in a 6-1 vote, with Duclos opposing the measure.

“The traffic circles won’t be put in and then forgotten,” said Councilwoman Susan Honda, who has lived in both the Ridge and West Campus II neighborhoods. “They will go back and do another traffic study. If they’re not working, something else will have to be done.”

Family Funland play structure becomes more inclusive

BY GREG ALLMAIN gallmain@fedwaymirror.com

A

fter a couple years of planning, fundraising and hard work, the Family Funland play structure at Steel Lake park was officially re-opened on Wednesday.

The occasion was marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell and the Federal Way City Council, along with Miss Wheelchair America, Jennifer Adams.

“This is truly a historic moment in our city’s history and it’s a great day in Federal Way,” Ferrell said in a short speech before a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the revamped structure.

“This is a great event, it’s been years in the making … I’ve been bringing my boy here for the last couple of years and had been thinking It sure will be nice when this gets renovated and redone, and today is that day. It’s absolutely a fantastic day.”

Pet of the week Nico is 4 months old and looking for a loving home. Nico, who has a black patch on his chin, will sit at the background and observe the other kittens in his litter before joining in to play.

He enjoys meal time and will sit at the top of the stairs with his tail straight up, quivering with excitement before he leads his foster mom to the room where they are fed.

Nico is affectionate and is used to being around

other cats, dogs and teenagers as well. He and his siblings are in a Federal Way foster home. Nico is neutered, vaccinated, is Feline Immunodeficiency Virus negative and microchipped.

Ferrell thanked many of the community members responsible for the Funland’s renovation, including the Federal Way Rotary Club, which helped raise $54,700 for the project.

He also applauded many private donors, such as H. David Kaplan, who helped provide the funds to make the restored play structure a reality.

Ferrell noted the addition of the AbilityWhirl — a first-of-its-kind toy nationwide that allows children in wheelchairs to enjoy a merry-go-round experience — shows the community’s commitment to inclusion.

“The rebuilt and extended Family Funland underscores Federal Way’s strong commitment to ensure that recreational facilities are available to people of all abilities,” he noted. “This is the first of its kind in this country to allow people who are confined to a wheelchair to enjoy that playground feel.”

Federal Way joins a small number of other South King County cities that have demonstrated inclusion, including the city of Auburn, which has Discovery Playground. The Auburn playground that opened in 2010 includes accessible pathways and surfacing, sensory-rich surfaces and activities and play structures configured to support all levels of development.

Kiwanis Club to host 58th annual salmon bake FROM STAFF REPORTS

Adams, who has been confined to a wheelchair her whole life because she was born with partial limbs, said the inclusion of the AbilityWhirl in Federal Way is an act that shows Federal Way, as a community, has an open and welcoming heart for all of its citizens.

“One of the first stories I have is when I went off to kindergarten, the playground was not inclusive,” she said. “I remember coming home and being really discouraged that I couldn’t play on the playground.”

Her mom decided to take her to the playground

on a weekend and they figured out how she would be able to play on the structures available to her.

“We figured out how I could get on the Big Toy, and we figured out how I could slide down the fireman’s pole, so she took that time to make sure I had a good play experience,” she said.

On top of that, Adams’s dad built her a playground structure at their home, one which became the place for all the neighborhood kids to come and play at with her.

“Those are some of the inclusive play experiences I had as a kid, and I know

that changed my life,” she said. “I know the power of rejection and the power of acceptance. Rejection is something that is powerful and can cause a lot of hurt and pain, but acceptance and inclusion has the power of healing in it. By creating this play structure today that’s inclusive of all children, you are opening the door to the power of inclusion and the power of healing in this community.

So, I commend you for that, and I thank you for doing this for this community.”

Girl raises funds to represent northwest in Junior Olympics track relays

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@federalwaymirror.com

A

t just 11 years old, Anisha Greene has dreams of running in the Summer Olympics.

But before she can accomplish that goal, the Federal Way resident will first focus on the upcoming USA Track and Field Junior Olympics, of which she’ll represent Region 13 Pacific Northwest, comprised of Alaska, Oregon, Idaho and Washington.

From July 21-27, Greene will run two relays, the 200 meter and the 4x100 meter in Humble, Texas at the Turner Stadium.

“We are very proud of her work ethic,” said Anisha’s mom, Keshini Greene. “She has done an excellent job in school as well as become one of the most improved athletes on her team.”

However, to showcase that improvement, Anisha’s family had to set up a gofundme. com to raise funds for her trip to Texas.

Keshini Greene got the idea after talking to some other moms from the track club Anisha is a part of.

She was drawn to the idea since the website can reach anyone around the world.

“That helped since I have I could use that toward the a lot of family in Sri Lanka, cost,” Anisha said, adding Australia and in different she simply went online to parts of the U.S. It was easy look for the opportunities. for them to contribute to Anisha became interested a common cause,” Keshini in running track about twoGreene said. and-a-half years ago when The Greenes were able to her Green Gable Elementary raise $1,250, which was $250 school P.E. teacher introover their goal. duced it to her class.

Keshini describes her daughter as humble and shy at times with the ability to be goofy yet serious when needed.

And, of course, determined with a hard work ethic.

“She has an awesome work ethic to balance such a demanding schoolwork load as well as practice a couple of times a week, [which] was very challenging, but she amazed everyone and did well in school,” Keshini Greene said.

Keshini Greene recalls a time when some of Anisha’s competitors at a couple of the invitational events told her she was slow and that she wouldn’t beat them.

Her mother said she had a hard time dealing with this at first and wanted everyone to be nice and encouraging, but it got to the point that she didn’t want to compete.

But after some conversations with the team member, Anisha “was courageous enough to compete again and then be goofy with the kids and actually make friends with the same group of girls,” her mother said.

Throughout this past track season, Anisha competed in a series of meets, which determiend a matchup of the best times.

From there, Anisha ran several heats in the semifinals. The top eight fastest teams were then chosen to compete in the regional championship, comprised of Oregon, Alaska and Idaho’s fastest qualifiers.

If she wins, Keshini Greene said the recognition and exposure would be the reward, as well as give her a chance to better her talents.

toward that Olympic athlete goal.

“I want to be a lawyer or a politician but I also want to be an Olympic gold medalist,” Anisha said, who will turn 12 in August and start seventh grade in September.

Keshini Greene said her drive to be great in whatever she does has been the most rewarding thing to see as a parent.

What fuels that drive?

Anisha can’t pin-point it.

“I think I’ve just been like that my whole life,” she said.

Well, whatever it is, Anisha’s family is sure to support her all the way to the Olympics.

“We are very proud of Anisha,” Keshini Greene said. “She is such a blessing to our family.”

Multi-Service Center sees lack of affordable housing, other trends

A

help families with small children, from birth to 2 years old, and that the city funds have helped the organization serve 1,100 children in the city so far in 2014.

These funds are especially important, Santo noted, because those early child items tend to be costly, and the help the center provides can help the families “pay other necessary expenses, such as rent or utilities.”

The trend in food distribution, Santo said, is a desire on the part of residents using the MultiService Center for more protein items, such as meat. Santo said that with the rising costs of many meat products, donations have been down, but that

they’d “love to be able to distribute meat and other proteins on a more regular basis.”

Finally, the center’s employment education services help “support adults and youth prepare for a brighter future in today’s job market,” according to Santo. With the help of city funds, the center has been able to help 10 individuals so far this year, six of whom have gained meaningful employment as a result of the organization’s programs.

Last year, the center, with the help of those city funds, served 151 youth and young adults. The trends in this category are perhaps the most distressing, with Santo noting that those looking for jobs

their Federal Way and Kent locations last year through their employment and education services programs. She also noted that the number may be underrepresenting the true figure, because many of the youth they served didn’t self-identify as homeless, even though they had no fixed address, but were instead “sleeping on friends couches,” and things of that nature. She also reiterated that a significant number of those youth and young adults they helped were still in need of some sort of assistance with housing and housing-related issues.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

A consolidated appeal hearing of the Determination of Nonsignificance and Process III land-use decision for the proposed High Point mixed-use development is scheduled for 1 p.m. Monday, July 28 in City Hall Council Chambers.

The applicant has proposed a mixed-use development located at 1066 S. 320th St. that includes 300 multi-family dwelling units, 26,095 square feet of ground floor commercial/amenity space, street and stormwater improvements and landscaping.

A number of people have appealed the decision, prompting the consolidated hearing. The scope of the appeal is limited to the specific items disputed in the appeal document filed by the appellants.

While the public may attend the July 28 hearing, testimony for the appeal hearing is open to only those with legal standing in the case. The hearing examiner will hear testimony from the appellants, project applicant and city staff. The hearing examiner’s decision on the appeal will be issued within 10 working days following the close of the hearing.

City Hall is located at 33325 Eighth Ave. S., Federal Way. Council Chambers is located on the second floor of the building.

For information related to the city’s decision, or questions about the hearing process, contact Matt Herrera, senior planner, at 253-835-2638 or Matt.Herrera@cityoffederalway.com.

and who are age 16-24, are facing “complex barriers” to gaining meaningful employment.

Those complex barriers include “housing instability, a lack of a high school credential, lack of work experience, mental health issues and learning disabilities,” Santo said. “Housing instability continues to be a trend for youth and young adults in our community, with 10 percent identifying as homeless, and many more experiencing housing instability or needing housing resources.”

In a post-meeting phone interview, Santo clarified that 10 percent number, saying it was derived from the 151 youth the center served at both

Tacoma mayor speaks about local issues King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer hosted Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland at his monthly Good Eggs Breakfast on Wednesday in Federal Way. “We can strengthen our region by working together through collaboration and keeping the dialogue open,” said von Reichbauer.

“Mayor Strickland’s vision promoting economic development includes collabora-

tion between state and city agencies finding a solution to help ease traffic congestion in the South Sound and recognizing the importance of transporting freight in a timely manner throughout our region.”

Strickland answered questions from the attendees and highlighted her thoughts on a solution involving extending Highway 167 and adding an HOV

lane further south on I-5.

“The transportation issue is not only about traffic congestion, it is also a jobs issue and creating quality jobs in the South Sound region,” Strickland said.

She discussed being a strong advocate for education reform. She understands the importance of providing a stable, vibrant education for students and the challenges the school

system currently faces. The partnership with the Gates Foundation and McCarver elementary school is a model for helping students increase their reading scores and school attendance. She knows a quality education system, along with quality jobs leads to growth and a stronger community.

Von Reichbauer hosts a breakfast each month for local political, business, and education leaders as a way to promote regional dialogue.

King County Councilman von Reichbauer welcomed Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland to Federal Way to discuss Tacoma’s challenges.
