Student planned shooting at International School

A judge ordered a 17-year-old Bellevue student remain in juvenile detention Tuesday following his arrest last week for allegedly threatening to go on a mass shooting at the International School he attends.

Police responded to multiple 911 calls around 10 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12, from people reporting a high school senior made threats to shoot

up the school. One student interviewed by police said he overheard the high school senior tell another student earlier that week there would be a school shooting and he would post the time when it was supposed to happen on Facebook the day before. According to the Bellevue police report, no such threats were found on the student's Facebook page.

That same student told police he received a text from the suspect on

Thursday, Feb. 12, stating, "24 hours from now we'll be dead." The International School was closed Feb. 13 due to the threat, and the 17-yearold student was arrested for felony harassment outside his Bellevue home that morning, presumably as he prepared to go to school.

The Bellevue Reporter is not publishing the name of the student, as he is a minor and has not yet been formally charged with a crime.

Bellevue Youth Theatre Foundation raised $1 million for the project.

Structural highlights include 14 geothermal wells — going 300 feet deep — that keep the theater at 69 degrees. The city is aiming for a gold Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Standards designation.

"We're using that moderate temperature," said project manager Pam Fehrman, "that controlled, steady temperature of the earth."

"I feel like it's time for some new leadership at the regional JANE level," said HAGUE Balducci, who is currently serving her second year as mayor. "I feel like I bring a lot of experience."

Balducci said she wants to work within the county CLAUDIA BALDUCCI council to support several issues important to her, such as public transportation and public safety; she is the former director of the King County Adult and Juvenile Detention.

"It's an important value to residents who live here, but you have to do so in a way that is fair and efficient," Balducci said, adding she resigned earlier this month as strategy section manager for criminal justice in the King County Office of Performance, Strategy and Budget to focus on the election.

Another student interviewed by police said the high school senior told him he planned on "shooting up the school," and was selling his belongings to raise the cash to buy firearms, according to the police report. The suspect is alleged to have told his classmate he had raised $2,000 to buy body armor and a high-capacity gun magazine, with the goal of acquiring a handgun.

After a two-year construction cycle that included the engineering challenges of building a round performance venue into a hillside and harnessing natural light and geothermal heat, the Bellevue Youth Theatre will open to the public on March 14.

Theater director James McClain expects the $8.8 million, 12,000-square-foot facility to be the pride of Bellevue's Crossroads neighborhood, where children can attend programs and flex their creative muscles to make 30 weekend shows a reality every year.

The theater's construction was funded by a $2 million match from the city through a voter-approved parks levy in 2008 and an additional $2.5 million from King County Green Building and 4Culture grants. The

Crossroads police substation changing location to mall

SCHOOL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Current site slated to become a Jamba Juice

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Police Department will move out of the Crossroads substation it has operated out of since the mid-'90s into a new space at the mall this spring.

"It's going to be the same layout, almost, and then an additional meeting room," said Bellevue Police Ofc. Craig Hanaumi, who handles community outreach from the Crossroads substation, "which is my personal favorite."

The substation will move into a larger

space next to Crunch Fitness. The current station space is set to be remodeled for a new Jamba Juice bar, said Crossroads Mall property manager Susan Benton. Hanaumi said the new substation location will benefit Crunch and Stone Gardens at the mall, with a police presence closer to areas of reported vehicle prowls.

It also positions the station closer to the Crossroads Community Center, where the BPD offers self-defense classes and takes calls related to incidences at nearby parks, Hanaumi said.

The Crossroads substation is partly

operated using 10 volunteers, working 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday. The substation had 2,200 walk-ins in 2014.

"Different days more people come in. Their questions are not always police-related," Hanaumi said, adding a number of residents come in for information about conceal carry and other permits. "We're going to be open the whole time someplace."

Benton said the plan is for the new substation to open in April.

Meeting set with second-round police chief finalists Public reception Thursday at City Hall

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The city of Bellevue will host a reception for the public to meet several finalists for police chief while they're here for in-person interviews next week.

The names of the unspecified number of finalists in this second-round search will not be released until early next week, according to a city news release. The reception is to be

held 5-7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 26, at Bellevue City Hall.

The public reception is part of a two-day interview schedule that will also include meetings with the City Council, community members and city staff, according to the news release. City Manager Brad Miyake expects to make a final hiring decision in March.

Miyake passed up on five candidates for the position in November, electing to do a more targeted search using the Police Executive Research Firm. The city paid the Mercer Group more than $21,000 to conduct the first search for a new police chief, following Linda Pillo's retirement last April.

The student told police the 17-year-old suspect approached him the next day to see if he would join in shooting up the school, but he declined. He told police he was later told when the shooting would occur.

According to the police report, the suspect does not have a criminal history and his parents do not own any registered firearms at the Bellevue home in which they all reside.

Police interviewed the 17-year-old student following his arrest, where the honor roll student told a detective he does not get along with many students, has few friends and had been considering suicide for the past five years, according to the police report. The student also reported having anger management issues due to being bullied and unpopular at school.

The student admitted he did not have body armor, but had been selling his belongings to raise money, having about $1,000 in his bedroom, according to the Bellevue Police report, adding he researched past school shootings — like Columbine — and firearms online, which calmed him. He also admitted to openly talking about wanting to shoot up the school while he was there.

He told police he convinced his mother to take him to a Bellevue shooting range last year, where he planned to kill himself in front of his mother, but then changed his mind, according to the report.

The King County Prosecutor's Office has until Thursday to issue a decision whether to pursue charges against the International School senior. Police objected to the student's release from custody in the report due to his threats of suicide and to harm others.

hang out," said McClain of the grassy roof.

The main black-box theater (in the round) is equipped with cameras that can be used to broadcast plays on flatscreen televisions hanging around the BYT, for patrons arriving late and also for actors and staff to know at what point a performance is at from nearly every part of the facility.

McClain said he's excited about the 360-degree catwalk, accessible by only one location in the theater, adding equipment can be lowered for those youth and volunteers with disabilities — about 12 percent of volunteers — that prevent them from ascending a staircase.

"It's a great acting space," he said. "We're going to use it for a show."

Behind the main theater space is a large rollup door that turns the acting space into an amphitheater — the first in Bellevue — the audience now able to sit outside, McClain said. He

added outdoor shows can quickly be moved indoors during periods of inclement weather. The first amphitheater production will be "10 Ways to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse," starting in August.

Twenty staff will work out of office space that doubles as the theater's box office, not including BYT's 200 annual volunteers. One room will be used by the Bellevue Youth Theatre Foundation for fundraising, the organization bringing in $15,000-$75,000 annually. The old performance space at the former Ivanhoe Elementary School

will continue to be used for rehearsals and set design, McClain said.

A ribbon cutting will be held 11 a.m. Saturday, March 14, followed by tours and demonstrations until 1 p.m. The first performance, "Oblio and the Pointless Forest," runs March 20-29, and is suitable for all ages. It is based on "The Point," by musician Harry Nilsson.

"The show is about diversity and acceptance," McClain said, "and that's what this theater is all about."

EDITORIAL

Keep minimum wage the same across the state

T

he $15 an hour minimum wage got another twist this week with a bill introduced in the state Senate. Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, would take away local authority to raise the minimum wage while pegging the statewide minimum wage to new standards.

It’s an idea that has merit and deserves attention.

Seattle voters last year approved a $15 an hour minimum wage, which will be phased in over several years depending on such things as company size. Under Miloscia’s plan, the state’s minimum wage instead would rise based on urban inflation and personal income growth. Miloscia says those factors would boost the minimum wage about 45 cents each year. It would take longer to reach $15, but it would get there faster than under the state formula now.

That likely won’t sit well with backers of the $15 an hour wage, but a statewide system makes sense.

The problem with local options is they can produce confusion and sometimes unintended consequences when one city bumps up against another. That was the case some years back regarding blood-alcohol levels that would trigger a DUI in Bellevue and Redmond. A motorist having some drinks in a restaurant in the Overlake area could drive legally on the Bellevue side of 148th Avenue Northeast. Yet, just across the street in Redmond, the same amount of alcohol in the blood could trigger a DUI. Likewise, a business in Seattle, having to pay a higherthan-elsewhere minimum wage, would be at a competitive disadvantage with a similar company operating a few short feet away in a city without the higher wage.

Sure, most businesses further within the Seattle city limits won’t face that situation. But the $15 an hour minimum wage already has caused one Seattle company to say it’s transferring some manufacturing jobs to Nevada.

Given the Democratic control of the state House, Miloscia’s bill probably will have tough sledding there. But the fact remains we have a statewide minimum wage now.

If it needs to be raised higher and faster, then it should be statewide as well.

Energize Eastside about local system

A recent letter to the editor suggested that Puget Sound Energy’s (PSE) Energize Eastside project was conceived to help balance treaty requirements between the United States and Canada. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Energize Eastside — a project to build a new electric substation and higher capacity transmission lines — has always been about improving the local electric delivery system for PSE’s Eastside-area customers in the face of more than 50 years of unprecedented growth. Responsible agencies such as the Puget Sound Regional Council project this dramatic growth to continue. Energize Eastside is needed to maintain reliable and affordable electricity for nearly 400,000 current and untold future PSE electric customers on the Eastside.

Because the electric system is interconnected for the benefit of all, it is a federal requirement to study all electric transmission projects to ensure there are no adverse impacts to the reliability or operating characteristics of PSE’s or any surrounding utilities’ electric systems. Energize Eastside has been studied to ensure it passes that test, and it does.

Since the inception of the Energize Eastside project, PSE has publicly discussed these studies and how the Energize Eastside project fits into the interconnected system. Details can be found in the published studies available on the Energize Eastside project website: PSE. com/energizeeastside.

The studies also clearly demonstrate that Energize

?

Question of the week:

“Should the state redo its tax system to include an income tax?”

Eastside is about local Eastside electricity delivery needs.

This local need isn’t diminished by the project’s ability to safely integrate into the interconnected electric system.

Obama college plan sounds good; is it?

President Obama’s free community college proposal may sound good on the surface, but is it?

1. Some people are more adapt at the trades vs. college.

Therefore, why leave out trade schools from being free?

2. School is mandatory up through high school — community college is not. Should two years of community college or a trade school be mandatory and funded by the taxpayers’?

3. If a person has no skin in the game (e.g. it is free), they typically are less motivated to put forth their best effort.

4. We could provide cheap loans, e.g. 1/4 or 1/2 percent interest that must be paid back in a 5-15 years after completion of their education, Or give scholarships requiring effort to attain e.g. tell why I want to succeed, my goals etc. Setup mentoring and measurable progress towards completion.

5. Do something that is not just another step towards an entitlement, which is one of the problems with our country now. Let’s stop that mindset and figure out how to help people succeed. As the saying goes — give a person fish, and they will eat for a day, teach them how to fish and they will eat for a lifetime. Let’s teach people how to succeed in life so they can provide for themselves, and not rely on Uncle Sam who is already in debit over his head.

BY MIKE BRENNAN SPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Three years ago, when Jeff Scherpelz and his wife, Erika Rice Scherpelz, decided to build a super-energy efficient home in Bellevue’s Monthaven neighborhood in south Bellevue, they did so for a variety of reasons.

“I guess partly it’s our philosophy of wanting to conserve resources and make our home as efficient as possible,” said Scherpelz, a software engineer. “But practically, we’ll have lower energy bills.”

The result of their philosophical-yet-practical decision is a comfortable three-bedroom, 2,750-square-foot home.

The house captured a five-star rating from Built Green, a nonprofit, residential building program developed by the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish counties.

Green features include LED lighting, triple-paned windows, a ductless heating and cooling system, a green roof, the use of pervious surfaces on part of the property and the preservation of trees and natural vegetation. The house is also pre-wired to accommodate rooftop solar panels in the future.

Building highly energy efficient homes in Bellevue is catching on, but slowly. Since 2005 there have been 89 Built Green homes constructed in Bellevue, according to the Master Builders Association, but only eight of those got a five-star rating.

The city of Bellevue wants to encourage more green building techniques like those at Scherpelz’s home and

we’re taking steps to make that happen. We have several staff in our Development Services group who are knowledgeable about these techniques and standards. Permitting a green building project takes no longer than a conventional project and we’re ready to assist anyone interested in doing so.

In addition to our experienced staff, we now have an online permitting system that makes the permit process in general easier and more efficient for customers. More specifically, we’ve streamlined permitting for small-scale, solar photovoltaic projects, making it simpler and more cost effective for residents to install rooftop solar panels on their homes.

Third pot shop now open on Auto Row BelMar manager says store only sells products he, staff would smoke

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue’s third recreational marijuana shop, BelMar, began its soft opening Feb. 12, relying mostly on word-ofmouth and curious drivers along 116th Avenue Northeast to draw in customers.

General manager Khang Nguyen said the former Pawn Pros — and Bellevue Auto Performance before that — site is an ideal location for drawing in a fraction of 116th’s heavy weekday vehicle traffic, either interested in making a purchase or to explore BelMar’s product selection.

BelMar’s opening makes it the third recreational marijuana store to open in Bellevue since licenses were issued by the Washington State Liquor Control Board. Green Theory was first to open last October east of Old Bellevue on Main, followed by Novel Tree in early November.

Nguyen said BelMar receives its marijuana from four indoor grow vendors in Washington, having whittled its options down from about 50. Employees selected them through blind sample testing, Nguyen said, adding not all strains from each of BelMar’s vendors are carried; that would have been more than 40.

“We all unanimously picked the four,” he said. “We’re not going to carry anything that we wouldn’t smoke.”

Bellevue Tech Center nails down big leases

Brandon Macz, Bellevue Reporter

Bellevue’s third recreational marijuana shop, BelMar, began its soft opening Feb. 12 at 614 116th Ave. N.E.

Nguyen said he hopes to expand its number of suppliers, but the vetting process would be long to do them all.

When possible, he added, he likes to see a vendor’s facility first.

“I had time to go through 50,” he said of the vendor selection. “There are 500.”

Opening day items of popularity included edibles and marijuana supplier Evergreen’s vaporizer pens, of which BelMar is the flagship retailer, Nguyen said.

BelMar is located at 614 116th Ave. N.E., and its soft hours of operation are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays.

MOD Super Fast Pizza and information technology solutions company Intergen North America are moving bases to the Bellevue Technology Center, according to KBS Strategic Opportunity REIT. Intergen North America, a leader in Microsoft solutions providers, will move from Redmond into a 7,330-square-foot space at the Bellevue Technology Center at Northeast 24th Street and 156th Avenue Northeast, according to the real estate investment trust.

MOD is nearly tripling the size of its corporate office space, with 15,772 square feet being leased at the Bellevue business park, which lines up with the pizza company’s expansion into the East Coast market,

starting with Philadelphia next month.

“It’s our first East Coast store, and then we’ll be following with North Carolina, Chicago ...,” said MOD spokeswoman Charlotte Wayte, adding MOD plans to jump from 31 stores to 90 by the end of 2015. “Last year was a big year of openings, and well-received in every market.”

MOD also plans to open two more locations in Portland, and one in Lynnwood, Lacey and Bellevue’s Overlake area in the next couple months. Eastern Washington locations include Spokane and Yakima.

Wayte said MOD was attracted to the Bellevue Technology Center for its workout facilities, cafe, easy access to State Route 520 and Interstate 405 and office space that allows for an open floor plan.

Changes coming to Crossroads Mall New businesses opening; old ones expanding space

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Big changes are coming at the Crossroads Mall, with new tenants coming in and others shuffling and expanding spaces.

“It’s all a work of dominos, trying to fit everyone in here that wants to be here, but also meeting all the demands our customers have,” said Susan Benton, property manager at Crossroads Mall. “We are getting a lot

of questions. There’s a lot of feedback from the customers and public in general.”

Salvatore Lembo’s Pizzeria Guido has closed at the mall, but a number of its menu items are moving to Firenze Ristorante, Lembo’s other business at the mall. Pizzeria Guido will be replaced by another restaurant.

“We have a new Asian grill concept coming in that will open in late summer from the same owners who own Flying Fish in Seattle, but it won’t be Flying Fish,” Benton said.

Benton said Hand & Stone — a massage, facials and waxing franchise — will take over the exterior side of Platters. Paula’s and Hand & Stone are both anticipated to open in late June or early July.

Dress Barn has taken over its sister space at Dress Barn Woman, allowing two new tenants to open up at its old location, Benton said, adding those businesses won’t be announced until the leases are fully executed.

District 6 includes Bellevue, Medina, Clyde Hill, Hunts Point, Beaux Arts, Yarrow Point, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Redmond and Woodinville.

The county councilwoman said she wants to continue focusing on strengthening economic development on the Eastside, improving government ef-

"I think we've got an opportunity with Tateuchi to not only do great performances but also provide another economic engine on the Eastside," she said.

Balducci said she has assembled a campaign team and raised $15,000 in the first few days since quietly announcing her bid. She reports endorsements from U.S. Rep. Adam Smith, 48th District Sen.

As president of Leadership Eastside, James Whitfield led a panel discussion on Feb. 13 at the Meydenbauer Center, with Greg Johnson, president of Wright Runstad; Kimberly Harris, CEO of Puget Sound Energy; and Lauren Thomas, CEO of Hopelink, focused on how those in attendance can do their part to ensure a thriving, healthy community.

"Everyone deserves to thrive in this area," Whitfield told the Reporter. "We can't create a greater future by ourselves, we need everyone in this room."

The luncheon, a "Future-Raiser" not a fundraiser, also served as the kick-off to the group's year-long 10th anniversary celebration.

Those in attendance spent the majority of the time listening and talking to each other about the keys to a healthy community, which

Bulldogs winning streak continues BC guard Jalen Ward pours in a game-high 33 points

BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue Bulldogs men's basketball team kept its winning streak alive despite an off-kilter performance against the Olympic Rangers.

Sophomore guard Jalen Ward scored a game-high 33 points, catapulting the Bulldogs to a 92-85 victory against the Rangers on Feb. 11 in Bellevue. The Bulldogs have won 13 consecutive games and improved their overall record to 22-2. Olympic dropped to 5-16 and are winless in Northwest Athletic Conference play.

The Bulldogs, who are in first place in the NWAC North Division, didn't have their best game against the lastplace Rangers, but still found a way to win. Bulldogs guard Dom Holub, who scored 14 points off the bench, said he wasn't surprised the Rangers brought their "A" game.

"They were hungry and were ready to get after it. They played like they had something to prove and their game spoke for itself," Holub said.

Bellevue Bulldogs point guard Dom Holub scored 14 points off the bench in his team's 92-85 victory against the Olympic College Rangers on Feb. 11 in Bellevue.

Bellevue head coach Jeremy Eggers was shocked his team wasn't clicking on all cylinders against Olympic.

"I hope it was an eye-opener for us.

Overall we didn't do our part," Eggers said. "We have to realize when you are at the top (first place) you are a marked man and teams are coming

after you. If you don't bring it, you're going to lose regardless of who you are playing."

Ward, Holub and Dominique Jordan made key buckets down the stretch to preserve the victory. Bellevue fell behind Olympic twice early in the second half but made the plays down the stretch when they needed to. Jordan finished with 20 points in the win.

"Fortunately we hit some shots when we needed to and they missed a couple of shots when it was a tight ballgame," Eggers said. "We didn't match their intensity. Luckily it wasn't detrimental to us, but it was a big factor in the game."

Holub said the Bulldogs are focused on making the 2014-15 season a memorable one.

"Our goal from Day 1 was to play in the NWAC tournament. All of these games have been stepping stones to get there. Tonight's performance didn't really show how much work and effort we show every single day at practice," Holub said. "We squeezed by today and live to fight another day."

BC will partner with WSU or develop hybrid program on own Bellevue College will not serve as a satellite campus for Washington State University, according to the college's board of trustees.

Working groups for each of the universities had only met once before Wednesday's meeting, but talks will continue every other week until they decide if a partnership is mutually beneficial, according to board chairman Steve Miller.

cational institution," Miller said of the Bellevue College campus. "We have a density of students, growing industry, supportive community for education, the possibility of big donors in the region, all of which makes this very attractive. The question from our point of view is, given what we're trying to achieve, is this the best way to do it?"

Last fall officials from WSU approached BC president David Rule with the idea of a partnership and after the board of trustees approved its exploration in December, a working group was formed.

Russell Beard, Bellevue College's VP of information technology services and its working group spokesperson, told faculty, students and community members the two groups are trying to determine what BC would look like as a hybrid university offering both four-year bachelor's degrees and associates degrees.

"The overarching theme is that if we can't come up with something unique, then the conversation isn't worth having," Beard said. "It's not really hard trying to figure out why they want to be in Bellevue. So we hold all the cards … The goal right now is trying to figure out if we should continue having this conversation.

Bellevue College is going to do something extraordinary with or without WSU." Miller said a partnership with WSU currently offers a lot of positives, especially financially, but ironing out the details will take time and compromise.

"We probably can't get everything we want, so the question is what are the absolutes? What are our highest priorities?" he said.

If an agreement and deal can get struck, the earliest anything could happen is five years, Beard said, adding it would take roughly two years for it to get approved by the Legislature and the governor and another three to align the school's curriculum transitioning from BC's quarter system to WSU's semester system.

Both working groups are slated to meet again next week to identify the outline for a memorandum of understanding.

Although it's another step toward a partnership, Miller said there's still miles to go and there's still a chance nothing comes of it. As the largest transfer facility to the University of Washington, a partnership with WSU could put that accessibility for students in jeopardy, which could be a deal breaker.

Miller began the meeting stating any partnership would only be agreed to if it benefited the students, both current and future, and the surrounding community. Fellow board member Lisa Chin expanded on Miller's sentiment saying the underlying motive for any changes has to be enrichment of the students and community.

She and the other board members agreed that, "there's enough potential" in a partnership to continue the discussion.

If a deal can be worked out however, Bellevue College will not keep doing the same song and dance.

"I don't think there's any going back for us," Miller said. "We either go forward with WSU or go it alone. The status quo is no longer acceptable."

Bellevue City Council approves bike lanes on 116th

which require city staff to maintain a monitoring plan to measure vehicle and bike volumes along that portion of 116th before and after bicycle lanes are added, as well as adding up accident reports and taking public comments.

Mark Poch, manager for the overlay project, said the "unique" corridor is a long stretch without signalized intersections — where congestion occurs most — that should keep traffic flowing normally, even with a northbound lane removed. The 2013-24 transportation facilities

plan also forecasts volumes there to remain steady into 2024.

"At this point I've heard the word unique used about a half a dozen times, so far, and I agree," said Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace, who objected in September to adding bike lanes on 116th. He added he now believes it makes sense, but worried staff could come back with more proposals like this. "To me this is concerning from the precedent-setting standpoint that it does have."

Wallace said he wants to see standards for removing vehicle lanes for bike lanes

We’ve Got You Covered

put in writing, adding motor vehicles continue to make up the majority of 116th traffic.

"Obviously the road portion is important, and more important than the bike lane," he said.

A cycling group representative later thanked the city council for approving

The Bellevue City Council on Monday approved removing a northbound lane on 116th Avenue Northeast to add bike lanes north and south between Northeast 12th Street and Northup Way following an overlay project later this year.

City staff approached the council about revising this section of 116th in September, stressing again Monday the "unique opportunity" to restripe a portion of the road for bike lanes when an overlay project occurs there, likely in late summer or early fall.

Reviews of traffic volumes were studied ahead of the proposal, and about 11,000 vehicles travel that stretch of 116th daily, split nearly evenly north and south, said Bellevue Transportation Commissioner Vic Bishop, adding no congestion problems are anticipated by removing one of two northbound lanes. The two lanes would

merge into one about 600 feet north of the Northeast 12th Street traffic signal.

"We have very sketchy information about how many bicycles are on our streets," Bishop said, adding the city estimates about 160 bicyclists ride in Bellevue daily. The transportation commission will look more closely at pedestrian and bike improvements through an initiative approved in December. "This is a good project and we think it works."

The transportation commission did add stipulations to its recommendation for council's approval,
