SJCC to begin new chapter on Island Annual meeting commemorates 45 years on Mercer Island By Katie Metzger
kmetzger@mi-reporter.com
Mercer Island’s Stroum Jewish Community Center is steeped in tradition, but its annual meeting Sept. 18 stressed innovation, diversity and community outreach. The JCC unveiled a new strategic plan that will guide its programs, budget and objectives for the next three years. “There’s a legacy and a history here, yet the ‘J’ has evolved
over the years,” said CEO Judy Neuman. The JCC plans to diversify its board of directors, broaden its donor base and reach out to neighbors, along with focusing on four priorities: long-term financial stability, community engagement, Early Childhood School and facilities. “If the whole community is working toward the same end goal, it means that the planning process was worth it,” Neuman said. The four priorities are things
the JCC has always done, Neuman explained, though honing on in these specific objectives will act as a road map for the board and staff, helping them track their progress both quarterly and annually. The operating budget of the JCC has grown by 50 percent in recent years, and donations have increased by 35 percent, Neuman said. About 1,000 people walk through the doors of the JCC every day, going to the school, fitness center or many other communal spaces and meeting rooms. The JCC’s theJudy Neuman ater underwent a $5 SJCC CEO million renovation and opened earlier this year, as part of an effort to expand the JCC’s cultural arts program.

The City installed its electric vehicle (EV) charging stations about two and a half years ago around the Island. Until now, this service was provided for free under the terms of the federal American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant that funded the original installations. But no more. The City will now charge a fee of $1/hour for use of the charging stations any time of the day or night. Presently the City sees about 2,600 unique charging sessions per year, and over the past 12 months have provided almost 15,000 kilowatt hours of electricity to drivers, valued at approximately

Fee | FROM 1 $1,400. However, now that the ARRA has expired, the city will now levy a user fee for the service. “We are seeking to recover our costs,” explained Ross Freeman, the commu-
nications and sustainability coordinator for the city, “while still providing a convenient service that meets the City’s goals of reducing the overall carbon footprint of the Island and its inhabitants.” Every year, the city spends about $1,000 in maintenance and operation fees.
“Although a fee of $1/ hr seems minimal, it aligns with many other municipalities in the region and with the fee set by the Mercer Island School District for their chargers,” he said. “It should generate about $2,500 after credit card fees are deducted and offset the $2,400 in annual expenses that the City incurs each year.” There have been reports of some drivers leaving cars overnight at EV stations on the Island. “It’s true that at some

SJCC | FROM 1 the French-American School and Youth Theatre Northwest, and other events such as concerts, lectures and the Oct. 6 Seahawks game. According to its new plan, the JCC will stay ahead of the curve in early childhood education trends and establish a capital reserve fund, as well as continue to improve the aesthetic and functional quality of its building. “Facilities are always a challenge,” Neuman said. “We have amazing programs, and a really old building.” Still, Neuman said that many Islanders may have a dated picture of the JCC in their minds, and that people say they have been “blown away” by recent changes. Though it is a Jewish center, anyone can be member. “We are evolving intentionally and we want the community to participate,” Neuman said.
School briefs
One of the most significant shifts in the near future of the JCC involves its overall governance. Instead of members, the board of directors will now govern the agency. The board will elect officers, vote on bylaws and approve the strategic plan, but will still encourage member input. “Even if members aren’t voting, there will still be a desire to be transparent about those plans,” said Sarah Tobis, marketing and communications manager for the JCC. Neuman said the JCC will continue to hold annual events to celebrate with the community. “We might turn it into a volunteer appreciation night,” she said. “I think people walked out feeling proud of the leadership, and proud to be a part of the ‘J.’”

In three days, King County Metro bus service will be severely cut on the Island. To learn more about the specific routes and schedules to be cut or modified and in order to address serious community concerns about future mobility, the City Council is exploring various options to ‘buy back’ certain services. Metro is now preparing to cut bus service beginning Sept. 27, to address its
tional programs and school environments that are nondiscriminatory, inclusive and celebrate the individual gifts that all students bring to their classrooms. “We are gathering a group of parents and asking them to share their experiences and those of their students throughout their educational experience,” said Dr. Plano. “Having a conversation about those experiences is the first step toward improving how our school community engages with families from all backgrounds.” The DAC, which consists of about a dozen parents and volunteers from diverse backgrounds, will meet every four to six weeks during the 2014-15 school year to share experiences, observations and ideas.
Boundary Committee set up for elementary schools on-going budget shortfall. Although the size of the cuts was recently scaled back slightly due to more favorable sales tax revenue projections, the impact on Mercer Island will be severe. Several of the routes identified for elimination are important circulators that loop around the Island, or offer transport between key locations such as the Community Center, City Hall, and the Park and Ride lot. The City may consider using circulator vans, ondemand buses, and other means to make up the difference. Citizens are encouraged to watch City’s homepage

In the coming days, surveys will be distributed on the Island’s bus routes, or residents can visit http:// www.mercergov.org/Page. asp?NavID=3042. Of the 16 routes that circulate on or traverse across the North-end of the Island, 13 will be reduced or elimi-

M
ore than 200,000 voting-age adults in Washington state, including 74,773 in King County, are getting a special request to sign up for this year’s election. None of them are registered to vote right now. All of them have, or will soon receive, a postcard with instructions on how they can do so as part of a focused outreach effort by state and county election officials. The Secretary of State’s Office is using a federal grant to cover the estimated $48,300 cost of mailing the postcards. They have been sent to men and women who are at least 18 years old, have a valid driver’s license or identification card and are not yet a registered voter. According to figures from the state, more than half of the targeted recipients, 109,391, are between the ages of 18 and 25. Another 44,052 are going to those aged 26-35. Just 58 postcards went people who are 96 and older. The postcard contains the requirements to be an eligible voter and the web address for registering online. There also is a toll-free phone number for those who want to obtain a paper registration form to fill out or have questions about their voting status. This is the third year it’s been done. Last year just 10 percent of those who received postcards, actually registered. The state wants to make it as simple as possible. In a story in the Everett Herald, Secretary of State Kim Wyman said she is hoping that potential voters will take heed. “We are hoping citizens who are eligible and want to participate will go online and register by Oct. 6 so they can participate in November,” she said. Let’s also hope that those who are already registered will use their right to vote in November as well.

I-591 vs. I-594 Regarding I-594 and I-591, do not be misled by the wording on the I-591 signs saying, “Stop Gun Confiscation.” It is a total red herring, designed to confuse the unthinking and the uneducated. First, no one is now confiscating weapons without due process. Second, we already have stringent laws against search and seizure without due process including weapons. I-594 is not a panacea; there will still be unlawful sales of guns but many less, as proven by the 16 states which now have similar statutes. I-591 would continue the status quo and ban the state from instituting more background checks, while I-594 will save lives. Shall we save lives or sell guns to felons and other irresponsible people? It’s our choice. Mark Jensen
What do you think of King County Metro announcing it found enough savings to limit some of its service hour cuts?
“The 550 is the only line I take, so I’m not too worried about the other cuts.”
“I use the bus a lot, but I think you can find a way around the cuts.”

A Mercer Island resident has been found trespassing at local schools several times in recent months. The suspect, a 56-yearold white male, was arrested on suspicion of trespassing at West Mercer Elementary on Sept. 11 at 4:53 p.m. He later booked into Issaquah City Jail. “The principal stated that there was a man sitting shirtless at an outdoor table on the school’s blacktop between the main building and the portables,” according to the police report filed by detective Mike Seifert. The same man had been charged with trespassing at Country Village Day School on Aug. 11. The suspect claimed he didn’t know that he had been banned from all Mercer Island School District properties, said police detective Pete Erickson. “He thought he was only restricted from being on

the North Mercer campus,” according to the police report. The suspect was observed trespassing three separate times, on Aug. 6, 7 and 11, at Country Village. He was served with written notice of trespass on Aug. 13, which stated that he was not permitted to be on any school district property until Aug. 12, 2015. School staff said that the suspect loitered around the parking lot and walkway by the Country Village Day Care, and that he ran off when confronted. According to a report filed by Erickson on Aug. 13, the suspect acknowledged that his behavior was suspicious and said that he had gone to the old North Mercer Junior High School, which has been the location until recently of Youth Theatre Northwest, to look at it. He said he would not go there again, and signed the written notice. Erickson also wrote that he conducted a criminal history investigation regarding the suspect. It returned with an arrest for DUI and domestic violence out of Alabama.

Born in Seattle to John D. Hickox and Carolyn Harrington Hickox. Carolyn grew up in Laurelhurst and attended Laurelhurst Grade School before graduating from Roosevelt High School in 1947. She went on to attend the University of Washington where she was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and Mortar Board, as well as the Totem Club and Phi Alpha Sigma. Additionally, she was the art editor for the University of Washington campus magazine, Columns. Carolyn was a gifted and talented artist and after graduating from the UW went to work for the advertising firm of Cole and Weber. She later worked for United Theaters and Safeco Insurance. She remained active in Kappa and Mortar Board alumni activities throughout her life. In 1954, she married Mackenzie Smith, a student in his last year of medical school. For the next five years they lived in Baltimore, MD, Cincinnati, OH, and Vallejo, CA, while Mackenzie finished his medical training and served in the military. They then settled on Mercer Island where she lived for the next 58 years. Carolyn is survived by her husband of nearly 60 years, Dr. Mackenzie Smith, her children, David Smith, John Smith, Carolyn Day (John), Mackenzie Smith (Kristin), Douglas Smith (Christy) and 10 grandchildren. In addition to her artistic talents, Carolyn was well known for her sharp wit and playful sense of humor, which lives on through her descendants. She will be very much missed by her family and friends. A private celebration of her life will occur at a later date. The family would like to thank Drs. Walter Smith and Kathryn Crossland and the nurses and staff of Overlake Medical Oncology for their competent and compassionate care. 1139831

Teen named ‘Outstanding Philanthropist’ By Katie Metzger kmetzger@mi-reporter.com
Kat Tiscornia is a horseback rider, a public speaker and a cancer survivor. She’s also 15 years old. The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Washington Chapter named Tiscornia the 2014 Outstanding Youth Philanthropist last week, and will honor her and other philanthropic leaders on Nov. 5 at The Westin Hotel in downtown Seattle. “I’m honored to receive this award. It means a lot to me,” she said. Diagnosed in the spring of 2013, the Mercer Island High School sophomore has become not only a survivor, but also an inspiration to others. Tiscornia, with her growing band of “Kat's Crew” supporters, has raised more than $180,000 for pediatric cancer research. Through her speaking engagements – in support of Seattle Children’s Hospital, where she battled through nine months of chemotherapy and surgery to remove a
tumor in her right thigh – she hopes to help people see childhood cancer through a new lens. But her first speaking engagement wasn’t at a hospital. It was her eighth grade graduation. Though she said she feared public speaking before, she gained confidence when a teacher told her that she could be a voice for kids who are sick. “I can’t put into words the challenge of having five inches of your femur removed and going through intense chemotherapy,” said her father, Tim Tiscornia. “The fact that she has the strength to speak at these events and raise money for the next teen that has to go through this… It’s pretty amazing.” There are about 225 diagnosed cases of Ewing’s sarcoma a year in North America. Tiscornia hopes to get involved in the drive for a cure and better treatments. “I’m doing very well now,” she said, saying she is back at high school and is able to ride her horse, Scooter, again. “I’m one of the fortunate kids.” To learn more about Tiscornia’s fundraising efforts and speaking events, visit kats-crew.tumblr.com.

Young entrepreneur brings product to market ‘BrainBands’ are sold on Amazon.com By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
Mercer Island High School sophomore Marcus Schiller knew he was born to be an entrepreneur. Growing up with an entrepreneurial father, he was bound to catch the business bug. So when the 15-year-old’s latest entrepreneurial venture showed up for purchase
Zhang to attend medical leadership event in D.C. Islander junior Gordon Zhang has been selected to attend the Future Medical Leaders event in Washington, D.C. Zhang, will hear from Nobel laureates and National Medal of Science winners, get advice from medical school deans and spend time with teen prodigies and other highly-motivated high school students. “I offer my congratulations to Gordon on this exceptional achievement,”
on Amazon.com a couple weeks ago, it should’ve come with little surprise. Marcus is the brainchild of BrainBands, multicolored neon bands that serve as “a homework list for the wrist” to help students remember to do their homework. The package includes five silicone bands, a carabineer clip and a customizable chart to assign colors to specific tasks. When homework is assigned in a specific subject, students remove that band and put it on their said MIHS Principal Vicki Puckett. “This once-in-alifetime event is an opportunity to connect with experts and share experiences with other talented students while exploring innovative ideas about the future.” Confirmed speakers include Francis Collins, M.D., Ph.D., the director of the National Institutes of Health, Fred Murad, M.D., Ph.D., winner of the 1998 Nobel Prize in physiologymedicine and prodigies like 20-year-old Shree Bose and 19-year-old Brittany Wenger, the grand prize winners of the 2011 and 2012 Google Science Fairs.
wrist. When homework is done, they attach that band back to the clip. Distributed through Sunrise Identity, BrainBands will also be available online at Kmart. com by the end of the month. Since creating his homework reminder tool, Marcus has pitched BrainBands to Amazon, Office Max and Costco, while also showing them off on KOMO news. While BrainBands don’t have a huge advertising budget, Marcus believes his product has seen progress
since hitting the market. “It’s all really new to me, so it’s hard to get a gauge on the direct sales aspect of it,” Marcus said. “That being said, I’d say the marketing aspect and growth aspect and building the brand name has been beyond what we’d imagined and it’s going just as we’d hoped.” Marcus’ father, Michael, who has over 20 years experience with product development, worked with his

Brain | FROM 8 s on de veloping BrainBands. Relying primarily on word-of-mouth marketing, Marcus said he’s been elated watching BrainBands build legs on its own. Schools are ordering BrainBands directly for entire classes, or in one instance, for an entire middle school. They’ve also gotten calls from senior centers, using BrainBands to serve as helpful reminders for medication. A byproduct has been consumers using
BrainBands as a helpful reminder tool for more than just homework. “We knew it was a great reminder tool for anyone to use and that there were more uses than being a typical homework reminder for students from a student,” said Marcus. “Without even pushing other ways to use BrainBands, people are finding themselves there are other uses. We saw the other uses, but we didn’t think it’d be at the forefront as it is currently.” While excited about his son’s business venture, Michael stresses his son’s primary focus is school, and that his son won’t be giving up his academic career to focus on BrainBands. But he adds that Marcus’ role as a partner with Sunrise Identity is very real, with Marcus meeting with the Sunrise Identity
owner to discuss strategy and next steps. In pitch meetings, it is Marcus who takes the lead. While Marcus admits he hasn’t really seen BrainBands in the hallways of MIHS, pretty soon he will be presenting to the school and hopes to make BrainBands available in the student store. When he’s not giving presentations, Marcus keeps busy working on other projects. He’s currently working on expanding the BrainBands package to include a type of binder or backpack. But for now, Marcus remains focused on the growth of his current project. “I know it’s my job to make [BrainBands] succeed. I can’t hope and then money will appear in my hand,” he said. “The launch is exciting, but it’s really about what will come [later on in the future].” BrainBands can be purchased online at Amazon. com, 4knowledge-4fun.com and BrainBands.com

After big first half, Islanders can’t keep up with Bellevue | Prep football Wolverines use three thirdquarter touchdowns to pull away from Islanders By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
After a strong first half that saw Mercer Island leading the six-time defending 3A state champion Bellevue Wolverines on two separate occasions, Bellevue used three third-quarter touchdowns to pull away from the Islanders 42-21 Friday, Sept. 19 at Bellevue High School.
Few would’ve expected a contest deadlocked 21-21 at halftime, but the Islanders had the Wolverines on their heels at times in the first half of Friday’s matchup. Bellevue running back Yofeil Wyle gave the Wolverines their first lead with a five-yard touchdown run, his first of four rushing touchdowns of the night. Alfonso Gonzalez responded for Mercer Island with a 77-yard touchdown pass to Jack Counihan to tie the game 7-7 in the first quarter. The Islanders took the lead in the second after Gonzalez found Steven Duchaine in the end zone with an 11-yard touchdown pass. After the Wolverines responded with a 15-yard touchdown run by Isaiah Gilchrist,
a one-yard touchdown run by Gonzalez gave Mercer Island a 21-14 lead with just over four minutes left in the half. The Wolverines evened the score with another rushing touchdown from Wyle from two yards out just before the half. But the Wolverines held the Islanders scoreless in the second half. Bellevue scored the go-ahead touchdown after an unsuccessful onside kick by Mercer Island to open the second half, with Ercle Terrell running it in from 20 yards out. The Wolverines extended their lead after recovering a fumble on the Islanders’ ensuing possession inside Mercer Island’s own 5-yard line. Yofeil Wyle extended Bellevue’s
lead with a four-yard touchdown run to give the Wolverines a two-touchdown advantage. Wyle scored his second touchdown of the quarter on Bellevue’s next possesion, running it in from two yards out for the game’s final score. Gonzalez finished the night throwing for 308 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions while also rushing for a touchdown. Jack Counihan had six receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown. Mercer Island will take on Juanita at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26 at Islander Stadium. The Rebels are 3-0 this season and are coming off a 45-19 win over Lake Washington.
Mercer Island volleyball falls in rematch with Holy Names Islanders dealt first loss in 3A title rematch By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
Last season’s top two 3A state volleyball teams were in town Friday night, squaring off for a rematch of last year’s title game. And while Friday’s game saw some similarities to last November’s contest, the ending ultimately played out differently this time around. Fighting back after dropping the opening two sets against the team it beat for the 3A state title, Mercer Island volleyball fell in the deciding fifth set of its rematch with Holy Names Academy, losing 3-2 Friday night at Mercer Island High School. The loss was Mercer Island’s first of the season. Just like the last time

game, coach Susan McKay said playing Holy Names
served as the Islanders’ first big test of the young season. “We really wanted to play them again this year, not just for the rematch aspect but because we know they’re a really good team and we know they’d be great competition for us,” she said. “They are an excellent team. They play really good defense and it was tough.” Mercer Island played from behind throughout the first two sets, falling 25-17 and 25-15. Its only lead, a 2-0 advantage to open the second match, became a 7-2 deficit after a Holy Names side out, with server Maeva Osemene leading the charge. But the Islanders managed to turned things around, winning the next two sets 25-17 and 25-18. McKay said after falling

volleyball | FROM 12 down 2-0, she told her team she was ready for a five-set match, something the Islanders hadn’t seen yet this year. “I was disappointed in how long it took for them to really get started and play our game,” she said. “We were on our heels, playing timid and making a lot of stupid mental errors for the first two games. Once we finally got it together in the third and fourth, I was really proud of how they played.” Mercer Island carried its momentum into the fifth set, claiming an early 4-0 advantage and extended its lead to 7-2. But behind the serving of Jackie Labonite, the Cougars fought back to claim an 8-7 lead. Ahead 10-9 with Angelou Dunton at the serving line, the Cougars scored the game’s final five points. Brooke Behrbaum had 11 kills and five blocks for Mercer Island. Caroline Hamilton had
nine kills and six aces, Olivia Hughes and Kelly Behrbaum each posted eight kills and two blocks, and Natalie Robinson had 11 digs, 40 assists and four aces. McKay said afterward she saw some of the Islanders’ inexperience show at the end of the fifth set. While the Islanders came out intense and excited, the team struggled to finish executing the little things to close out the game. She said going forward, the Islanders would have to improve their poise and mental focus. “We came out really strong at the beginning of the fifth game and we had all the momentum, and then we started making mental mistakes and giving away points and we just completely collapsed. It was hard to watch,” she said. “We’ll learn a lot from it. You can learn a lot from losses.”

Water polo second at West Metro tourney by Carol Gullstad
Special to the Reporter
The Mercer Island boys water polo team traveled to Beaverton, Ore. to play against Oregon’s best in the annual West Metro Water Polo Tournament. The Islanders won five straight games to make it to the championship game, but fell just short in the tournament final, losing in sudden death overtime. The Islanders began the tournament by rolling through pool play dispatching Westview, Lincoln and Sunset by a combined score of 48-3. Advancing to the winner’s bracket, the Islanders beat Lake Oswego 13-6. In the tournament semifinal, the Islanders faced the Newberg Tigers, last year’s Oregon State runners-up. The Islanders held a slim 3-2 lead at the end of the first half but pulled away in the second half, outscoring the Tigers 6-1 to end the game with a 9-3 victory. The tournament final pitted Mercer Island against Oregon’s three-time reigning state water polo champions, Southridge. The Skyhawks jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first quarter before Jack Larkin connected with Trevor Gullstad for a score at 2:06. The quarter closed with the Islanders down 4-3. At the end of the half, the

There is a new art gallery on Mercer Island. It is located on the campus of Covenant Shores Retirement Community. The gallery is a dream come true for Owen Hall, resident artist and former chairman of the Covenant Shores arts commission. “Owen had a vision that the corridor that connects Building 6 with the campus Health Center could become an art gallery,” explains Nancy Axell, current chair of the commission. “The arts commission members voted to proceed with this project to bring original art to the residents of our campus.” The commission decided to name it “The Lighthouse Gallery” since the official name of Building 6 is “The Lighthouse.” The gallery opened last spring with a trial run featuring works by members of the Covenant Shores art commission. According to Axell, “Covenant Shores Executive Director, Bruce Erickson, was very supportive of our plan and helped us secure a sign at the Entrance to the gallery. He overcame his fear of the walls being riddled with hundred of nail holes. I convinced him that art was more important and nail holes could be filled.” Earlier in the summer, the art commission invited members of the Mercer Island Visual Arts League

wine | FROM 15 Almost all these “kids” have parents who still live on Mercer Island. Other grads to still be contacted are Bill Owen formerly of OS Winery and Paige Stevens of Stevens Winery. Craig and Vicki worked in Spokane. Craig sold plastic raw materials for 10 years; Vicki sold coffee for her family’s business. They joined the North Idaho Enological Society in 1988. Craig served as president while Vicki was program director, meeting with winemakers and distributors across the country. Many wineries have baby steps. They start out in a garage. Maybe they piggyback on another winery’s storefront. Craig and Vicki created a destination winery as soon as their doors opened. Visitors were greeted with a 3,000 square foot tasting room, picnic grounds and
a 4,000 seat amphitheater which hosts summer concerts. Productions has grown from 4,300 cases to 80,000 cases today. It is the 10th largest winery in Washington State. There are now over 700 wineries. “We bottled 51 different wines this year from 33 different varietals sourced from 15 different growers and 26 different vineyards,” commented Leuthold. “We launched our vineyard series of wines which are vineyard-designated from some very prestigious vineyards in Walla Walla, Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain Rattle Snake Hills and Wahluke Slope.” Wineries are usually picturesque, but Maryhill’s scenery is breathtaking. Overlooking the Columbia River, guests can see across the river at Mt. Hood. In the tasting room, the Leutholds found and rescued a 20-foot bar quartersawn from tiger oak in the late 1800s. It is embellished with carvings and inset

mirrors. The tasting room welcomes 75,000 guests each year, making it the fifth most visited winery in the state. Craig and Vicki’s journey into wine resembles many winery principals. “We started Maryhill based on our intense love of wine. Recognizing the Washington wines were on the cusp of greatness,” said Leuthold, “we wanted to be involved. The Washington Wine Commission had it right with their motto: ‘The Perfect Climate for Wine.’” “We truly have the best raw materials to work with,” Leuthold continued. “Year after year the quality of the grapes is outstanding.”
Azose Commercial Properties moves to Mercer Island By Joseph Livarchik
jlivarchik@mi-reporter.com
Azose Commercial Properties, formerly Morris Piha Real Estate Services, Inc., recently moved headquarters from its Bellevue office to Mercer Island. Its new office is at 8451 S.E. 68th St. in the South-end Shopping Center. Azose Commercial Properties CEO David Azose said the company changed names to better reflect ownership. Azose partnered with the company’s founder and former owner Morris Piha in 1984. Piha died in 2013 after battling cancer, with Azose taking over as CEO.
Maryhill Winery is located at 9774 Highway 14 in Goldendale. It is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Call 886-627-9445 or email info@maryhillwinery.com. It is dog and family-friendly. Dee Hitch can be reached at rockypointlane@aol.com.
Azose and Piha were cousins through marriage. “The rebrand reflects who we are. It makes sense to rebrand so people know who we are and kind of move into the next generation,” said Azose, whose son Michael and brothe Jay serve as the company’s vice presidents. Based out of Bellevue for the David Azose last 15 years, Azose, a Mercer Island resident of 26 years, said clientele ties helped drive the real estate company's move to the Island. “When we were looking for locations, Mercer Island was high on my list,"”he
said. “Mercer Island is a fairly affluent community with lots of local business owners. We have a lot of investors who are doctors, attorneys and accountants who reside here.” Locally owned and operated since Piha opened the company's doors in 1965, the family-owned business offers leasing and brokerage services, with its primary focus being property management. Azose Commercial Properties manages more than 3.5 million square feet of property throughout the greater Puget Sound region, with properties in Bellingham, Olympia and Bainbridge Island. On Mercer Island, Azose Commercial Properties has managed the leasing for the Rite Aid shopping center, Mercer Island Veterinary Clinic and the True Value move to keep them on Mercer Island.

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves
NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx agr.wa.gov/inspection/WeightsMeasures/Firewoodinformation.aspx
