Sammamish buys Mars Hill property for $6 M Council authorizes the purchase for 30,762 square-foot property for higher education purposes BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Legislature missed an opportunity with vaccine exemptions Page 4
FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 2015
Sammamish City Council unanimously approved a $6.1 million purchase of the abandoned Mars Hill Church at the Tuesday meeting, after spending more than an hour in executive session. The council authorized the purchase stipu-
lating it be used for higher education. The city already has a letter of interest from Cascadia College, Bellevue College and the Lake Washington Institute of Technology. The 22.4-acre property is located at 120 228th Ave. NE, surrounded by Eastlake High School, Eastside Catholic School and Skyline High School. The property was originally valued at $8.75 million and allows for 330 parking stalls. It also features a two-story building of 30,762 square feet that includes a full-sized basketball court. City manager Ben Yazici entered into property negotiations a month ago. “We have the resources,” Yazici said. “These
opportunities do not come very often.” Funds will come from the city’s reserves. No new taxes will be required. Per the agreement, the city will pay $150,000 in earnest money by March 20. There will be a 45-day feasibility period and an appraisal process before the Mars Hill purchase moves forward. The letter of interest from the colleges are non binding. Should they decide not to lease space from the city, Yazici is confident other educational entities would be interested in the space. SEE MARS HILL, 5

Tent City 4 sets base on Tiger Mountain BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
@IssReporter
A roving homeless encampment has once again found itself at the center of controversy after a permitting dispute over a county-owned campground prompted residents to relocate, unpermitted, to state lands on the north side of Tiger Mountain, east of Issaquah. Tent City 4’s resident camp adviser and leadership for governing organiza-
tion SHARE/WHEEL, in statements to the Reporter and letters to state and county officials, have painted a picture of a county government that is wantonly deaf to the plight of its homeless. County officials and a contracted homelessness consultant tell a different story: One where SHARE/WHEEL is ignorant of government process at best and openly combative at worst. Tent City 4 is a nomadic commu-
nity that sets up on lands volunteered by their owners for 90 days at a time. Typically these lands belong to religious organizations but occasionally Tent City makes other arrangements, such as when its residents stayed in Lake Sammamish State Park last year. Tent City had most recently been camped on a private citizen’s property in unincorporated Bryn SEE TENT CITY, 5
Sammamish City Council agreed that residents should have the option for bearresistant garbage cans in its next solid waste contract. Now it’s a question of how much customers will have to pay for them. In a survey examining city service providers, one-third of Sammamish residents report animals get into their garbage. But the majority of those surveyed are unwilling to pay more for bearresistant cans, according to Elway Research Inc. The research company surveyed 458 residents by phone and online earlier this year to assess the public’s satisfaction with service providers. Bear-resistant bins are more expensive than normal ones. It takes longer to service bear-resistant bins because haulers must stop and individually unlock them. SEE BEAR BINS, 7

KCSO seeks help Truck collides with I-90 overpass catching Klahanie bank robber BY DANIEL NASH
ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The King County Sheriff ’s Office asks citizens to help nab the suspect in the March 12 Klahanie bank robbery. A 5-foot-7-inch male entered the Wells Fargo Bank off of Klahanie Drive, approached the teller and passed a note asking for money at about 6 p.m. The entire incident lasted only a few minutes. This was the first bank robbery at this particular Wells Fargo, dating back almost 10 years. Bank tellers are trained to comply with bank robbers, as to not escalate the incident. It’s unknown how much money was taken or if the note indicated the suspect had a weapon. The male appears to white with dark hair and a full beard in the images captured during the robbery. The Klahanie Shopping Center was very busy during the hour Wells Fargo was robbed and investigators were able to speak with several citizen witnesses, according to a King County Sheriff ’s Office press release. Investigators are pursuing leads and hope to identify the suspect soon.

A truck bearing the Recology CleanScapes logo crashed into the Interstate 90 overpass on Front Street Friday morning.
A semi-truck collided with the Interstate 90 overpass on Front Street at approximately 9:30 a.m. March 13, injuring its driver and temporarily backing up traffic at the interchange. Shortly after noon while Issaquah police directed traffic, Washington State Department of Transportation crewmen removed the truck, which bore the logo of "green" materials recovery company Recology CleanScapes, from the overpass. Its hydraulic bed was deployed and had punched a hole in the side of the concrete overpass. The truck cab had collapsed forward and was facing downward into the street. The driver of the truck had been transported to the hospital for medical treatment and was in stable condition, said Kevin Kelly, the government and community affairs manager for Recology CleanScapes. Kelly refused to comment further. "Right now we're focused on clearing the site and then we'll worry about figuring out what happened here," he said. The damage to the overpass prompted WSDOT to close the rightmost eastbound lane of I-90 while bridge preservation crews assessed its extent. The lane was reopened later that evening, WSDOT spokesperson Travis Phelps said. Recology CleanScapes is a Seattle-based company contracted with the city of Issaquah to collect its solid waste. It operates a reusable goods retailer in Gilman Village. Megan Campbell contributed reporting to this story. Daniel Nash: 425-391-0363 ext. 5052; dnash@issaquahreporter.com

To the editor Praise for positive stories in the Reporter The March 6, 2015 edition of the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter demonstrates professional layout and news reporting. Not only is the use of color throughout the issue well positioned and attractive the news articles are inspiring and positive. Each reporter has done an exceptional job in using their journalistic skill reporting on sports and local events. However, what really stands out is that there are so many positive articles. These include but are not limited to stories about; a positive survey for Issaquah, passage of a transportation package by the State Senate, a Youth of the Year Awardee for the Redmond/Sammamish Boys and Girls Club, a 30 hour fast by local youth to highlight child poverty and very positive spins on local government actions. It is great to see the news staff reporting the news and not creating the news. Again this feel good attitude is what makes and keeps the Issaquah/Sammamish area one of the best places to live in the nation.

Poor choice of letter to the editor
Your letters policy states you do not accept letters that are part of a letter writing campaign. Yet the screed from one Charles Hughes sounded suspiciously generic when I read it so I did a little research. Charles Hughes of Washington D.C. is em-
ployed by the Cato Institute, a libertarianconservative lobbying organization heavily funded by the Koch brothers. I'm sure Mr. Hughes is a wonderful young man regardless of his politics, but he is not from the Seattle area, has never lived here, and cannot possibly know local sentiment on any particular issue, including the minimum wage. But he can repeat the same non-factual nonsense about the minimum wage that his benefactors spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually trying to put down. In his work Mr. Hughes quotes studies from the very official sounding National Bureau of Economic Research which in turn is totally funded by conservative foundations, and whose publications are anything but the objective research their name implies. So, what is the issue? Simply put the issue is that at every level -- including the local weekly newspaper -- disinformation is intentionally being spread. It would help the credibility of the Reporter tremendously by requiring reporters and fans alike identify themselves and the political entities they are representing.

partment of Transportation (WSDOT) is broke. According to their website, WSDOT was spending 56% of its fuel tax revenue on debt service, and that percentage is projected to increase. WSDOT is broke because they are not spending tax dollars wisely. Rather than funding much needed repair, maintenance and design improvements of our roads, WSDOT is spending billions of dollars on unnecessary freeway projects, which place them further into debt. For example, they are planning to spend $2 billion on the Puget Sound Gateway Project which plans to connect existing SR 509, and SR 167 to I-5. This project won’t benefit trade or traffic enough to justify its price tag, and it also contains plans for more tolling. Meanwhile, we have 382 structurally

The WSMA applauded state lawmakers in 2011 after passing a bill requiring those seeking exemptions for their children to consult a licensed physician. By failing to pass this legislation, lawmakers have missed an opportunity to take the next step to bring our state’s vaccinations in line with national target vaccination rates and protect our children. WSMA members overwhelmingly supported the elimination of personal and philosophical vaccine exemptions for school, child care and preschool immunization requirements at the association’s 2014 annual meeting. This
bill had the support of the WSMA, Gov. Inslee, the state Department of Health and other public health agencies and experts. As the state medical association, our mission is centered on making Washington the best place to practice medicine and receive care. The WSMA will continue to encourage patients to get their recommended vaccinations and will look to next year’s session to push this issue forward on behalf of our patients and our state’s communities.

On Friday, King County officials denied Tent City 4 a permit — submitted “only three days” prior to their move-out day from Skyway, according to an email circulated within the County’s communications department — to set up camp at the Issaquah Highlands Recreational Club on the south end of Squak Mountain. The county had acquired the 200-acre site from The Trust for Public Land in December and it has remained closed to the public as county workers repair and install infrastructure. The denial letter from the county’s Real Estate Services Section to Tent City operator SHARE/WHEEL cited liability concerns from the site’s poor infrastructure, including lack of potable water, lack of access to public transit and issues with electric facilities. Even without those issues, the use of Conservation Futures program dollars to buy the land precludes such use, according to the letter signed by county Real Property Agent Aaron Halley. Officials at the Department of Natural Resources and Parks learned from a Tent City 4 resident that the group would try to move on the land anyway, department spokesperson Logan Harris said. On Saturday, the department moved additional equipment onto the campground, posted a warning against trespassers as well as emergency housing information, and called in county sheriff ’s deputies to guard the camp entrance. After learning the south Squak campground was barred to them, Tent City 4 rerouted to their current location: a gated-off section of Southeast 79th Street just off exit 20 on I-90. Residents set up camp over the weekend and into Monday afternoon, sticking to the north side of the road to keep a path open for hikers. Work was hampered on Sunday by freezing rains. Shelley, a resident who asked not to be identified by her last name due to safety concerns, said the tarp around her tent was blown off by Sunday night’s winds. As she administered ear medicine to her pet dog Max, she recounted how she and her husband Richard woke up to find Max soaked. “He’s like our baby,” she said. The couple moved to the area from
Casper, Wyo. just a few weeks prior with their friend Jeremy Cantleberry. Cantleberry said he and Richard had been gainfully employed in the kitchen of a Casper tavern, but had been priced out of housing by the influx of high income tenants brought by the local oil drilling industry. Homeless resources in the area were poor, he said. “There’s no help at all,” he said. “All the homeless shelters are beyond capacity.” Roberson, who said he’s volunteered for SHARE/WHEEL for several years, bristled at what he called the short notice of the county’s permit denial. “Basically all we want is for [King County Executive] Dow Constantine to give us a public piece of county land,” he said. “We’ll pay for it. We even volunteered to clean it up.” Instead of referring to SHARE/ WHEEL’s formal permit application from March 10, Roberson referred to a Feb. 5 informal letter requesting the lands which he said was hand-delivered to Constantine’s office. SHARE Consultant Scott Morrow provided a copy of the Feb. 5 letter, signed by 18 Tent City 4 residents, to the Reporter. According to that letter, restrictive encampment regulations in Eastside cities — Sammamish and Mercer Island were specifically mentioned for background check requirements the letter called discriminatory — and competition from a second Eastside homeless camp as reasons Tent City 4 needed public land. Morrow and Tent City 4 residents met with Department of Community and Human Services officials about occupying county lands soon thereafter. In a March 6 response letter to Morrow from DCHS Director Adrienne Quinn, Quinn wrote that the county was not prepared to offer publicly owned property as a location for Tent City. Quinn urged Morrow to reach out to the Rev. Bill Kirlin-Hackett of the Interfaith Taskforce on Homelessness to find a hosting church. The Taskforce was hired by the county Dec. 1, 2014 to facilitate locations for encampments, county spokesperson Jason Argo said. But Kirlin-Hackett is “persona non grata” in the SHARE/WHEEL community, according to the organization’s correspondence with Constantine. “I know him and that’s all I’m going to say,” Roberson said, though he elab-

orated that Kirlin-Hackett was only interested in helping Camp Unity. “To this day he has not approached us.” But that’s simply not true, according to the reverend. “We reached out to them at least a half-dozen times and they refused our assistance — unceremoniously, I might add,” Kirlin-Hackett said. “They’ve pretty much declined, thinking everyone is just interfering with their process.” Morrow did not answer a question from the Reporter regarding the reasons SHARE/WHEEL did not wish to work with Kirlin-Hackett. But the reason may lay in his association with Camp Unity. In Nov. 2012, Kirkland police arrested a childrape suspect who had been staying in Tent City 4 while it was located at St. John Vianney Parish. Residents subsequently agreed to weekly random sex offender checks. But SHARE/WHEEL leadership objected to the checks, creating a rift in the organization. As a result, nearly 60 Tent City residents broke off to form Camp Unity. Tent City 4 remains at its current location for the time being, but it’s in a bit of a no man’s land. Literally — at press time, no one was sure of the ownership of the particular stretch of road, including state agencies. Morrow said he assumes it’s owned by the state Department of Transportation after studying parcel maps. He sent a letter to Secretary of Transportation Lynn Peterson Monday requesting continued use of the roadway. The state Department of Natural Resources is also examining ownership of the road due to its location outside a state forest and inside a Discover Pass gate. The land’s ownership was still undetermined as of press time Wednesday, DNR spokesperson Carrie McCausland said. “It’s difficult because that location’s at a confluence of different lands,” McCausland said. “Right by that location, there’s a single family residence and county lands as well as state lands.” A Reporter examination of King County’s maps found no parcel number associated with Tent City 4’s current location.

The rare opportunity to establish a higher education hub between the three Sammamish high schools was a dream come true, council member Kathleen Huckabay said. Creating an opportunity to provide a space for Sammamish graduates, adults or teachers to further their education was something the council had been looking at for a while. Ideally, community colleges would rent space within the existing building to host classes. The city will have to renovate some of the office spaces to classrooms. They expect to get 15, 1,000-square-foot classrooms out of the building. While many of the council members rejoiced Tuesday night and congratulated each other’s efforts, council member Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo named some concerns. He tried to amend the purchase to include a clause that stipulated, if the city was unsuccessful in establishing the higher education hub after a year, the property should be put back on the market. The motion failed. The major concern for Valderrama-Aramayo comes back to the money. “There are a ton of major projects we’re committed to. … No one has a real grasp of that long-term debt,” he said. The city has taken on many financial obligations, but Mayor Tom Vance said the city still has very little debt. The city is practically paying for this in cash, he said. Vance was unsure as to what debt ValderramaAramayo is concerned about. The Mars Hill Church is a disbanded religious organization that rapidly expanded across the Pacific Northwest. The organization moved into Sammamish in 2012 taking ownership of a building originally built by the Evergreen Christian Fellowship in 2009.

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright visited the Bellevue Arts Museum Wednesday and Thursday for the opening week of “Read My Pins,” an exhibit displaying 200 of her famous brooches. The exhibit will remain at BAM through June 7.
How to brooch any subject BY JOSH STILTS BELLEVUE REPORTER
The first female Secretary of State was well known for her political displays through jewelry, many of which are on display now through June 7, at the Bellevue Arts Museum. It all started in 1994 when Madeleine Albright, serving as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, criticized Saddam Hussein and he responded through the press by calling her “an unparalleled serpent.” Albright said she took the opportunity to make a “diplomatic statement,” by wearing a snake pin, despite her distaste for the slithering creatures. The message was clear, resonating back to the American Revolution’s “Don’t Tread on Me!” From that day forward, Albright said pins became a major part of her diplomatic signature. Years later, Russian President Vladimir Putin confided to then-president Bill Clinton that his country’s diplomats routinely checked to see which brooch Albright was wearing. On day one of nuclear arms discussions, Igor Ivanov, Russia’s Foreign Minister, looked at the arrow-like pin sitting atop Albright’s jacket. “Is that one of your interceptor missiles?”
he asked her. She replied, “Yes, and as you can see, we know how to make them very small. So you’d better be ready to negotiate.” With that same magnetism, Albright walked through the new exhibit sharing the stories of some of her favorite pins. Pointing to a large red, white and blue broach, Albright said she chose to wear it while meeting with North Korea’s then-leader, Kim Jong-il during a negotiation trip. “I was told he was crazy and a pervert,” she said. “He wasn’t crazy.” Her diplomatic diffusion gave her the ability to succeed where other’s couldn’t and through her political fashion, garnered the respect of nearly everyone she met. Stefano Catalani, art director for the Bellevue Arts Museum, said the exhibit represents so much more than pins. “It speaks to the power of jewelry, not just the political statements, but a powerful tool for communication,” he said of the collection. On Thursday, Albright met with dozens of students from Bellevue’s six high schools to discuss the significance of her pins, something she’s done at each of the exhibits stops.

BEAR BINS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Council members met Monday evening to discuss the parameters for the 2017 solid waste collection service contract, which will include bear-resistant bins. The council discussed subsidizing the cost of the bins, as other cities have. Subsidized prices vary from city to city. For example, Bellevue customers pay an additional $5 per month, whereas Issaquah customers pay an additional $1.50 per month.

Sammamish native wins student composition competition Fifth-grader Nathan Paek, of Sammamish, won a national elementary student composition competition. His winning composition “Australian Suite: The Land and Ocean Down Under” will be performed on March 21 during a winner’s concert at the Music Teachers National Association National Conference in Las Vegas. Paek began composing it two years ago on his own. He wanted to capture the majestic beauty of the manta ray gliding around the Great Barrier Reef, according to a MTNA press release. He was inspired by impressionist composers like Claude Debussy and Camille Saint-Saens. Paek has studied music composition and piano with Sharon Van Valin. He’s been playing the piano for three years and won Best of Piano Division award at the Performing Arts Festival of the Eastside competition in 2013. MTNA competitions begin at the state level. State winners must make it through a division competition before moving on to the national competition.

Give them some There’s no excitement! such thing as “there’s nothing to do”
Kids love activities that give them an adrenaline rush. • Amusement parks: a classic summer activity. A day trying out all the rides is great fun for children of all ages.
The best solution for constant complaining from your children this summer is to keep them busy. Here are a few suggestions for some enjoyable summer outings that they won’t soon forget.
• Go-karting: many centers welcome families on exciting circuits that are sometimes open in the evening. This is a great activity for thrill seekers.
the Get them moving! Discover kingdom of animals! There’s nothing better than a day of climbing up and down, sliding, and running around for working off excess energy. • Forest adventure course: enjoy some fresh air and play games in the treetops. This challenging experience will be both unique and stimulating.
Nature and animals are sure to fascinate any child. • Zoo: the discovery and observation of exotic animals is like going on safari with your children. Many zoos offer educational and interactive activities that will appeal to all ages. • Riding center: even little kids can discover the pleasures of horse riding. A safe excursion with an experienced guide could be the start of a lifelong passion.
• Water park: a perfect summer outing. Water parks are good for hours of pleasure for the entire family. • Climbing: many centers offer introductory indoor climbing courses for children. Experienced professionals are there to supervise, so parents don’t need to worry about their kids’ safety.
The best solution for complaining kids is to keep them busy.
Don’t forget about throwing some relaxation into the mix: an outing to the movies, the drive-in, a museum, or a round of mini-golf are great for lowenergy days. Even the most active of children need a bit of rest! Thinking about tutoring? There’s a longer-lasting alternative.

Pack your bags; it’s time for summer camp Every summer camp has its own list of what children need to bring for the duration of their stay, and some extra attention should be given to the requirements for specialty camps. However, some things are standard, whether your child will be riding horses or building circuit boards. Here are some of the must-haves you’ll need to include in your children’s luggage. Be sure to start packing well ahead of departure day so you have enough time to purchase any items they don’t yet have.
1258133
Apart from a daily change of weatherappropriate clothing, underwear, and socks, the following items are recommended: • sun hat or baseball cap • bathing suit • warm sweater and pants, in case of cold weather • running shoes, plus a pair of backup shoes • raincoat or poncho • plastic bags for dirty or wet clothes Make sure their toiletries kit includes these: • sunscreen • lip balm, ideally with sun protection
• medications, if any • insect repellent Most summer camps will require you to provide these: • flashlight • water bottle • sleeping bag and pillow • backpack Not every minute of the day is going to be filled with organized activities, so pack some entertainment for free time: • book • deck of cards or small board game • drawing pad and pencils Be sure to pack a few things that will offer comfort during any moments of homesickness: • a stuffed toy • stamped and self-addressed envelopes and writing paper so they can write home Your children are going to come home with lasting memories of summer camp. Why not throw in a disposable camera so they can capture some of them in color?

As shocking as it may seem, it’s already time to enroll the kids in summer camp. What sort of adventure will they experience this year? A traditional camp? A sports camp? Why not an arts camp? If your kids have imagination to spare and boundless creativity, a summer camp specializing in the arts will give them the opportunity to express themselves to their heart’s content. Many different art forms can be found in summer camp programs: visual art, film making, photography, cooking, sewing, cartoon art, theatre, music, song, dance, and the circus arts. If your kids love expressing themselves with words, colors, sound, and movement, they will love art camp. Some programs specialize
in one art form, while others allow young people to experiment with a variety of disciplines. Discuss this with your children to find out what they would prefer. In addition to developing creativity and imagination, art teaches children to better understand themselves and to be independent. Immersing oneself in the arts is also a great way to open the mind. The arts promote tolerance and respect for others, as well as openness and curiosity. Above all, art makes you want to excel and to take up challenges. In other words, it cultivates in children a positive image of their abilities and it boosts their self-confidence. Going to a day camp or sleep-away camp that specializes in the arts can only be beneficial for your budding artists. They’ll come home with their heads full of great ideas and a box full of wonderful memories.

A dynamic duo on the gridiron Twins to play football for Air Force Academy BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The twins attained their goal, committing to the United States Air Force Academy football program in February.

You asked for even more world-class services delivered by expert UW Medicine physicians. We listened. We’ve added more specialties for a growing Eastside community, including urgent care. Listening is also at the core of the care we provide, leading to a better understanding of individual patients’ needs and better outcomes for patients throughout the UW Medicine system.
“Growing up we’ve always wanted to go to the same place. We realized this was a great opportunity,” Deion said. Deion will play nose guard for the Air Force Academy. The 305-pounder said the key to success in the trenches is all about leverage. “The lower man always wins,” Deion said. The younger brother, Dominique, said he looks up to Deion on and off the field. “I feel like it’s really competitive between us. I look
up to Deion and I try to be better than him. He sets a good example so I have to try my best every time we do anything to try to beat him,” Dominique said. “We would wrestle a lot growing up and would always go at it. He was a lot stronger than me and Deion won a lot of those battles.” The 235-pounder enjoys the physical aspect of football just like his older brother. He will play running back or fullback for the Air Force Academy. “I like contact a lot. I love getting lower than somebody and just running them over. It’s a good feeling,” Dominique said.

High school baseball teams kicked off their first practices of the 2015 season on March 2. The majority of squads played their first games this past week. Even though spring didn’t officially arrive until today, the weather these past three weeks has been spectacular which is conducive to not only baseball games, but practices. Oftentimes teams are forced to practice indoors due to inclement weather conditions.

I’m excited to see how the Eastside Catholic Crusaders, Issaquah Eagles, Eastlake Wolves and Skyline Spartans baseball squads perform on the diamond this spring. In 2014, Eastlake advanced the furthest of the four teams in our publication’s coverage area.

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question. The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm. And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line. Sound Publishing is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) and strongly supports diversity in the workplace. Check out our website to find out more about us!www.soundpublishing.com
