Man charged with vehicular assault in Federal Way accident

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

K

ing County prosecutors charged a Des Moines man on Wednesday with two counts of vehicular assault and reckless endangerment after a five-car accident in Federal Way on Monday.

Justin David Ozbun, 42, is being held on a $400,000 bail based on the belief that

one of the two victims he allegedly injured is not expected to survive, charging documents state. At around 11:15 a.m. on Monday, police were dispatched to a five-vehicle collision on South 320th Street at the intersection of Interstate 5.

Witnesses told police they saw a man recklessly driving a black 2008 Dodge Challenger on South 320th Street westbound but in the

eastbound lanes. As he was driving on the wrong side of the road, he allegedly collided into two vehicles entering the South 320th Street from the I-5 off-ramp.

They were making left turns with a green light.

“The first of the two exiting vehicles, described as a black Honda CRV was forcefully spun off the roadway down an embankment after collapsing a street

sign,” the charging documents state. Police said the driver, a 48-year-old woman from Tacoma, was seriously injured.

The second, a white Nissan Altima, rotated counter clockwise onto the south shoulder of South 320th Street. The female driver, born in 1980, was also seriously injured, but the toddler and an infant on board were not.

As the Challenger struck both cars, it rotated and collided with a third vehicle, a Silver Nissan truck stopped at a red light, which pushed it into a white Honda Accord.

Emergency Medical Services arrived and noted the mother-of-two was unresponsive and bleeding from her head. Charging documents state she was admitted to Harvorview

Medical Center’s ICU where she had surgery to stop brain bleeding. She suffered a skull fracture, a large hematoma in the brain and a fractured neck.

The woman in the Honda CRV also went to Harborview’s ICU. She knew she had been in a collision but couldn’t recall how it occurred. She suffered a broken rib and severe internal [ more ASSAULT, page 5 ]

The Federal Way City Council unanimously voted to authorize the bid for the Performing Arts and Events Center on Tuesday evening.

Pending completion of the project’s design and bid documents, bidding for the project will open Aug. 17 and run through Sept. 9.

“I believe the facility will provide true value for our whole community with its many roles in the community and certainly with providing quality of

life,” said Deputy Mayor Jeanne Burbidge. “With the presentations that happen there, with the celebrations, celebrations of all the wonderful cultures in our community both individually and then having them come together to celebrate each other as different ethnic groups but one community.”

Councilwoman Dini Duclos recalled initial discussions about the center during her first term.

Initially thought to be two buildings, a performing arts center and separate events center, Duclos said it all changed after a trip to McIntyre Hall in Mt. Vernon, as that facility combines [ more CENTER, page 3 ]

Multi-Service Center breaks ground on Federal Way veterans housing project

BY RAECHEL DAWSON rdawson@fedwaymirror.com

Members of Federal Way’s Multi-Service Center, city officials, council members and legislators congregated for the ground breaking of a $13.8 million

veterans housing project on Tuesday morning.

To be located at 29404 Pacific Highway South, the 44, one-to-three bedroom units will serve veterans and their families.

“Service men and women need our help,” said 30th District Sen. Mark Miloscia, R-Federal Way, before the ground breaking.

According to the MultiService Center, 43 percent of King County’s veterans

reside in South King County with a portion of them facing disabilities, poverty and financial emergencies.

Robin Corak, CEO of the Multi-Service Center, said the housing project came together through a community approach following Councilwoman Dini Duclos’s vision five years ago.

As a veteran himself, King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer worked closely with Attor-

ney General Bob Ferguson and was pleased when the King County veterans and human services levy passed by more than 70 percent in 2011. That levy generated $3.5 million for this project, which was the “largest award given to a local project,” he said.

“Our history has been shaped by veterans,” von Reichbauer said, noting public officials who have [ more VETERANS, page 14 ]

Valley Communications 911 call receiver Adrienne Byers on Tuesday.

Because of their immediate actions, they collectively saved a human life under extraordinary circumstances.

“It is my honor and privilege to present the Life Saving Award to these outstanding individuals,” Hwang said during the dedication.

At 12:44 a.m. on April 14, Valley Communications Center received a 911 call from a woman in distress — Byers took the call.

Because the caller used a cell phone, the address of the call did not show at the dispatch center.

Soon after the call con-

nected, the woman ceased speaking.

The phone line remained open and Byers heard the woman’s breathing becoming shallower.

The mobile phone system gave an estimated location of the phone, accurate in this case to within 960 feet.

Federal Way police officers were dispatched to the area in hopes of finding the unknown problem and responding officers Lemmon and Loyd coordinated with the dispatcher.

Officers used their sirens within the defined area. The dispatcher informed the officers when the sirens sounded louder or quieter.

they were at the correct residence. It was dark inside and there was no sign of any activity inside the home.

Officers checked around the house. Finally, using their flashlights through an uncovered corner of a rear window, officers observed a woman on the floor. She was in obvious need of urgent medical care, police officials said. She tried to crawl to the door, but had passed out. Officers breached their way into the locked house, called for medics, and began administering aid. Lt. Ray

Bunk arrived soon after officers entered the home.

Medics arrived on scene and after stabilizing the woman’s condition, they quickly transported her to the hospital. The woman had lost a life-threatening amount of blood but was transported to a local hospital in time to save her life.

With no indication of criminal activity at the scene, the officers’ crime-fighting investigation was complete.

With the patient safely at the hospital, the medical rescue mission was a success.

But the story doesn’t end

both entities.

“It’s amazing what we can do when we put our minds behind it and our efforts behind it,” Duclos said.

Coucilman Martin Moore reflected on how far the center has come.

“It’s a long time coming and as a young person sitting up here, I fully realize the historic aspect of the Performing Arts and Events Center,” Moore said. “… It’s the catalyst that is really going to change Federal Way.” Before the council voted, project manager Will Appleton presented the center’s 85 percent design with updated cost analysis from mid-May. The 41,000-square-foot building will include a 2,400-square-foot full kitchen for the Native American Culinary Arts and Education Program; 8,000 square feet of meeting space, which includes two breakout meeting or educational rooms and a lobby; 500 seats on the ground floor with 200 seats in the balcony. There’s also an additional 9,000 square feet of meeting space on the mezzanine level above the facility’s entrance, a plaza and events area outdoors and 176 parking stalls on-site.

“We’re supporting overall arts education within the community with concert performances and any kind of special events as well,” Appleton said. “But furthermore, this facility is going to become a community focal point. It’s going to bring jobs to our community, it’s really a redevelopment catalyst for this area, for our downtown and I think it’s really going to paint Federal Way as a destination, a place to come.

This is a very important investment our community is making.”

And an investment it will be.

Appleton said the project design and development will cost $5.6 million, with a good portion of that already spent.

there.

Concerned for the psychological impact that family members may experience at the sight of that amount of their loved one’s blood left in the home, officers spent considerable time cleaning up the residence. Once that was done, they placed affected linens in the washing machine and started the wash. On the side of the refrigerator officers located a phone number for the woman’s mother. They called and informed the mother of the situation, including the hospital where her daughter

was taken. Then they set about securing the residence at their breach point. The woman’s father arrived and assumed control of the residence.

Lemmon, Loyd and Byers distinguished themselves with exceptional performance to save a human life, police said. Without the quick actions of these three individuals, the woman would not be alive today.

Federal Way police received a thank you letter from the victim’s mother and she also sent a note to the Seattle Times to thank these

Current construction cost estimates are around $25.6 million, an increase from the November 2014 estimates but still within the budget, and construction management and inspections come out at $826,000, which was pre-negotiated.

But construction contingency is only slated for $550,000 or closer to $600,000, Appleton said.

The total cost is $32,683,000 with an approved June 2014 budget of $32,750,000.

“The good news is we will remain within that target, however, we will not know exactly what the cost is to construct this facility until we receive the bids,” Appleton said. “It’s important to keep that in mind. We may very well be under, we could be over. We won’t know until we actually get the bids.”

Duclos said she would feel more comfortable with a larger contingency, as she has experience in construction projects.

Councilwoman Lydia Assefa-Dawson also asked why this project didn’t have 10 percent contingency when that’s the norm for projects the Land Use and Transportation Committee, of which she is a member, sees.

Appleton said the best approach would be to look at the bids and understand how much it will take to construct the project and then consider contingency. If there’s not enough, city staff may request additional funding from the council.

And depending on that final dollar figure, Appleton said there are features that could be implemented into the project design if they are under budget: a $150,000-$250,000 water feature at the southwest corner and/or an orchestra lift, which ranges from $250,000-$300,000.

A hot construction market could also influence final cost of the project as there are more than 30 cranes in Seattle’s greater Puget Sound area right now.

Appleton estimates the construction market to affect the cost by plus or minus 5 percent, as well as the possibility of the number of change orders.

Police chief presents certificate to animal hospital FROM STAFF REPORTS

Police Chief Andy Hwang presented the Police Chief’s Citation to Crestwood Animal Hospital and others in the community for their financial contribution to support the department’s K-9 Program on Tuesday.

The Crestwood Ani-

mal Hospital staff began a fundraising event to raise enough money to purchase a custom-fitted ballistic vest for officer Kyle Buchannan’s K-9 partner “Kaiser.” With the assistance of several area businesses and private citizens, a total of $2,625 was raised.

Hwang recognized Dr. Randall Norstrem and his staff from the Crestwood Animal Hospital for their leadership to make this happen. In addition, Jim and Ruth Jensen were recognized for individually donating $800 to the cause.

However, he said there’s more control over the change orders, as there have been weekly meetings to ensure those are minimized.

Appleton said he’s had three direct inquiries about the project but expects five to six bidders.

After the bidding period is over, the city will seek the council’s authorization to award the bid on Sept. 15 and will issue building permits that same month. The contract will then be awarded with an anticipated ground breaking at the end of September.

Appleton said if all goes according to plan, construction on the Performing Arts and Events Center will be complete by winter 2017, with a goal of December 2016/ January 2017.

Formerly known as the Performing Arts and Conference Center, the city changed the facility’s name during their quest for New Markets Tax Credits to increase their chances of receiving federal funding for the $32.7 million project, said Economic Development Director Tim Johnson.

He pointed out the name is likely to change again when the naming rights for the center are awarded.

According to Johnson, the community development entities who finance projects such as the Performing Arts and Events Center have less interest in conference and convention centers and prefer events centers.

“However, if it’s burned in your mind, just call it the center,” Johnson said.

The New Markets Tax Credits are expected to be awarded by the end of this week by the U.S. Department of Treasury. However, Johnson said it will be between 30-60 days before the city will know exactly how much money community development entities around the country will invest in the Performing Arts and Events Center.

here’s nothing quite like the threat of a government shutdown July 1 to infuse urgency into negotiations on a new state budget.

Party leaders in the House and Senate and Gov. Jay Inslee have met every morning since Monday to assess progress on reaching agreement in time to prevent an unprecedented halt to services throughout Washington.

On Tuesday, Senate Republican leaders said talks are on a “trajectory” to achieve a breakthrough this week.

And Tuesday night, the lead Democrat and Republican budget writers in the House announced they were having productive and “meaningful discussions that we believe will get us to a budget deal soon.”

So if you channel lawmakers’ optimism, it would seem a deal could be struck at literally any moment, though probably not before House Democrats drop their call for a capital gains tax.

But even if lawmakers avert a shutdown with passage of a new two-year spending plan, they might be unable to avoid punishment from the state Supreme Court over the budget’s contents.

Remember, the justices found that the 147 members of the Legislature were in contempt last September for not turning in a written plan of how they would ensure public elementary and secondary schools will receive ample state funding by a 2018 deadline.

The court requested the plan more than a year ago because it wanted to know specifically what legislators were intending to do and when they were going to do it.

There’s no sign yet such a manuscript is getting drafted. Lawmakers are still wrangling with the toughest elements in the court’s so-called McCleary mandate.

One part is pretty much done. The House and Senate are generally in accord on spending roughly $1.4 billion in the next budget to pay for all-day kindergarten, smaller classes in grades K-3 and student transportation and an increased portion of materials, supplies and operating costs of schools.

Centerstage breakup and makeup with city As Neil Sedaka once crooned, “Breaking Up is Hard to Do.” But as Mayor Jim Ferrell has learned this past week, getting back together again isn’t always a picnic either.

Ferrell’s staff was in the initial stages of negotiating a new management contract when they decided that the love affair with Centerstage just wasn’t as exciting as it used to be and thought maybe a new relationship would be better. After just two sessions, the city halted the discussion and gave a letter to Centerstage saying they would seek new management and Centerstage should vacate the building by the end of June. The letter was signed by the city attorney. It’s never a good sign when one side of a former romantic duo brings in a lawyer and says “get out by the end of the month.”

Like most relationships, this one started with so much promise. A few years ago, thencouncilman Ferrell was among those leading the charge to move the city relationship with Centerstage from dating to a marriage with a written prenuptial agreement. But that was when a Tacoma group of “outsiders” tried to steal Federal Way’s affections. The Tacoma competition had a very good proposal but Centerstage was “local” and tying the knot with local participants had a much more desirable outcome for Ferrell and other politicians. If they went with the

new, tempting, slinky and worldly outsider they would alienate many Centerstage supporters. For clarity, read “supporters” as “voters.” Sex appeal lost out to pure politics, and Centerstage got the contract.

Arts and cultural programs are rarely profitable, and the current contract specifically says the city won’t make any money. Government supports organizations such as Centerstage to provide local talent a way to bring different cultural opportunities to the community. Centerstage was retained because they are a significant community asset.

But with time, like many relationships, sizzle turned to fizzle and the city expectations seemingly changed overnight. The Parks and Recreation director convinced the mayor and the chief of staff that the city could make $150,000 if they took over the management themselves. And with that, the Performing Arts and Events Center entered the picture. Cue the femme fatale!

Centerstage supporters had long suspected that there was another, more attractive, new relationship developing.

Then the “he said, she said” political phase started as the mayor and his staff tried to appeal to public opinion for support, and the regretful words and recriminations started on both sides.

Not tipping is a win for customer, server Soon to be 65, I plan to retire in the next few years.

To afford this, I will stop tipping now. I have been a waitress, so I know the value of tipping. It is just

that back then, we did not have Obamacare to provide us with health care, and minimum wage was paid to high school kids working at McDonald’s, wait staff who earned tips, or as an entry level job to get your foot in the door.

Now the minimum wage is to be a “living wage.” So I no longer feel the need to tip as you will be earning a living wage and have medical care. As your employer will pass on the increase to me the consumer, I will use the money I save by not tipping to be able to afford to go out to dinner after I retire and am living on a

fixed income. My eating out will provide you with a living wage. Thus, my not tipping is a win for the both of us.

Make pot shops legal I did not want to write concerning the issue of marijuana because I feel there are more important issues to deal with. But, I am tired of reading week after week that the pot shop ban should remain in place in our great city. Yes, marijuana is unhealthy. But the line of reasoning leading to

a ban on pot shops would lead us also to ban alcohol, tobacco, sodas, guns, TVs, etc. and no driving before the age of 21.

Neither my kids nor myself are going to lose our freedoms just because some are stupid enough to destroy their lives with marijuana and alcohol.

Potheads always did, and always will, put their lives to waste whether marijuana is legal or not. I want my kids to be free to make their own choices. I hope they will always choose to do what is right over what is wrong and follow the path my wife and I have showed

them. They are the masters of their own destinies and freedom comes with risk.

Teach good values to your kids and let them choose between an honorable life and the life of a miserable pothead. And let us make pot shops legal in Federal Way, so that each could freely choose whichever path they want to take. Let freedom ring!

That’s only a third of the challenge, however.

Lawmakers also need to find a way to end school districts’ use of local property tax levies to help pay teachers, staff and administrators by having the state pick up the full tab. Accomplishing this will take time and money — how long and how much isn’t clear — and require school districts to trust they won’t be shortchanged in the process.

A handful of House and Senate members are persevering to craft a scheme that is financially feasible, politically palatable and legally acceptable with justices.

The third large piece is to figure out what to do about the voter mandate in Initiative 1351, which called for a reduction in the size of classes in all grades. Both chambers only endorse smaller classes through third grade and want to suspend the requirements for the remaining grades.

Senate Republicans want to ask voters this fall to embrace this approach. House Democrats say that’s too risky, because if voters say no, the price for shrinking class sizes in the upper grades is $2 billion.

House Democrats prefer that the Legislature suspend the measure, a move which requires support from at least a two-thirds majority in both chambers. And Democrats would create a panel to find the answer to how long it would take to carry out the initiative.

“This is a puzzle that is hard to put together,” said Rep. Ross Hunter of Medina, the Democrats’ chief budget writer. “If we make people unhappy on that vote, they’re not voting for the budget.”

That’s where the prospect of a shutdown might inspire pragmatic acts over principled stands.

Neither political party nor the governor wants to be blamed for what would be the first-ever state-government stoppage in Washington.

bleeding. As police were investigating, court documents state they noted Ozbun “showed no compassion for persons hurt while driving his vehicle recklessly.”

He allegedly cursed at Emergency Medical Services who treated his injuries and said they had no idea what happened or what caused the accident.

Federal Way police officers noticed his speech was slurred and his eyes were “red and glassy.” His blood was taken for a toxicology test of which the results are pending.

At the hospital, he agreed to speak to police after he was advised of his Miranda rights. He said he hadn’t been consuming alcoholic beverages before the collision but that he had smoked marijuana about 15 hours before the collision, the charging documents state. He then asked for a lawyer as police asked more questions.

As of Thursday afternoon, there are no known fatalities, however, there were also two other victims who did not sustain injuries — a 49-year-old Puyallup man with a 35-year-old female passenger and a 75-year-old woman from Federal Way. Ozbun has a prior DUI from 2007 in Texas, he’s been charged with obstructing in 2009, failure to comply in 1992 and burglary (he committed as a juvenile) in 1989.

Ozbun’s arraignment is set for June 15 at the Regional Justice Center in Kent.

Today, at 84 years old, Smith celebrates the publication of his only book, “Preventative Maintenance for Living a Life of Health and Wellness,” which dives into what it takes to lead a healthy life.

A cigarette smoker for 50 years, the Federal Way resident remembers waking up middle-aged, overweight by 45 pounds, with high blood pressure and at risk for sudden cardiac arrest.

“My wife was a tremendous cook, bless her heart,” Smith said. “When it came to a second piece, I just didn’t have any willpower at all.”

But his doctor suggested he find some.

Smith signed up for a health and exercise program called CPRI, or Cardio Pulmonary Rehabilitation Institute. Out of the 20 participants, Smith and another were the only members who hadn’t already had a heart

attack or heart surgery.

“It was an eye opener for me to see what these people were going through after heart surgery and some of them, boy, very obese,” he said. “We were on the verge of something very bad happening but it hadn’t yet.”

Through the program, Smith lost 45 pounds but the key to his health was keeping the weight off and quitting smoking.

“That was the big move that got me to finally quit cigarettes and one time I made it nine months and my wife and I went through this big party but the next day, I was smoking,” he said.

Then the tragedy.

“She was a smoker but she quit several years before I did and she didn’t smoke nearly as much as I did but unfortunately she had asthma and that took its toll, apparently, on her heart,” Smith said.

Another eye opener came when he was suddenly forced to do his own grocery shopping, as the result of his wife’s passing.

He described his shock at the people who had to rely on motorized shopping carts because of incapacitating weight. What was worse, he noticed the same people had junk food in their shopping baskets.

“To see all these people at the grocery store, that really prompted me to want to put this down in writing so that’s what I did,” he said of his 50-page book.

Gathering his notes throughout the years on what made him successful, hiring a publishing company — Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. — page proofing and corrections all took about five years.

“Really, I would like everyone to take some motivation to do something for themselves,” Smith said about his goals for the book.

“Like, make their health and wellness their No. 1 priority.”

Smith said it’s easier to lose the weight than keep it off, as many will end up reverting to old lifestyle habits and gaining more weight than when they had started.

He said finding a fitness program that keeps a person active for three days a week “really works” as well as incorporating nutritious foods and supplements. Smith eats apples, garlic and apple cider vinegar regularly.

“I watch sugar intake and salt,” he said. “There’s a lot of products now that have low salt and stuff, I go for that stuff. All the canned goods have a lot of salt in them and there’s just no way of staying away from it.”

Another tip, log everything, he said.

Smith journaled his calories in and out when he was striving for weight loss.

“Every day, I think this is really important because I’ve done it the other way,” he said. “Once you are on a nutrition and exercise program that you have confidence in, you will see that

Smith has lived in Federal Way for 40 years. During that time, he sold his main business, which was a heavy haul division, in the early 70s. When he’s not keeping track of his health, Smith operates a small transportation broker consultant

Q&A with Mr. FW: The new Performing Arts and Piquette Center Q

: Mr. Federal Way, what do you think about the name of the Performing Arts and Conference Center being changed to the Performing Arts and Events Center?

A: Mr. Federal Way is somewhat disappointed only because “PACC” was so easy to say. “PAEC” may still be as easy to spell, but how is it pronounced? Can it still be said just like PACC? Mr. Federal Way is willing to write PAEC, but will still be pronouncing it PACC because everyone will know what he’s talking about. Plus, it involves much less thought and Mr. Federal Way is feeling a bit lazy currently.

Beyond the pronunciation, Mr. Federal Way has no problem with the name change. When was the last time anyone wanted to go to anything involving the word “conference” without the word finals or championship following it? Parent-teacher

conference? Yawn. Conference call? Snore. Press conference where whomever is being interviewed won’t answer the tough questions?

Pass.

Events are a different story. “We’re going to an event” sounds so much better than “we’re going to a conference,” even if the event is a conference.

You at least get to experience some joy before it’s ripped away from you by the word “conference.”

It just sounds like the door is opening for even more exciting things to happen there, even if there aren’t. It’s a step in the right direction while they’re in the planning stages for the Performing Arts and Events Center.

There are also economic reasons for the change,

which Mr. Federal Way can understand. The name change is part of an effort to secure federal funding for the center via New Markets Tax Credits. If it can take a little bit of the burden off the citizens of Federal Way, it can be worth it.

In the end, none of these name changes may matter in the grand scheme of things. Naming rights have not yet been finalized and the Performing Arts and Events Center is likely not going to be the final name, though Mr. Federal Way would not be too upset if it were. If there is money to be made through the name, it’s pretty much guaranteed we will all be calling it something else by the time it’s finally finished.

Mr. Federal Way’s guess?

The Performing Arts and Piquette Center.

Maybe the city should let the people vote on the name once it’s finished so they at least had some type of vote on it.

So what Mr. Federal Way is really trying to say about the current name change is, big whoop.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, what are your thoughts on the local Albertsons becoming a Haggen?

A: First off, let Mr. Federal Way say that hopefully no one is losing their job in the switch. Mr. Federal Way has heard that some longtime employees are worried about their job security as the store changes. They are basically being treated as new employees despite being established at their positions for some time. Hopefully the company doesn’t treat those employees who have been hard working as expendable.

Now as far as Mr. Federal

Way’s opinion on Haggen itself? Well, it’s not been pretty. Mr. Federal Way has been to Albertsons and Safeways out of town (yes, Mr. Federal Way does leave this city and Mr. Federal Way knows that’s a scary thought) that have made the switch and things were just not the same.

Haggen is usually portrayed as fancier than its counterparts and with that comes higher prices and less deals. Gone were the buy one, get one free deals on meat you find at Albertsons.

Gone were the club member deals at Safeway.

Instead, Mr. Federal Way had to spend more than double the price on meat.

All this being said, there are some positives to Haggen. They do tend to get their stock from local farmers, which is always a positive. They also will be partnering with local nonprofits and making a donation of

$1,000 to one organization the first day it opens.

If they really want to be a big part of the community, even with their sometimes outrageous prices, this is a good start.

Maybe this Haggen in Federal Way will be different.

Maybe it will finally sweeten the bad taste other Haggen’s have left in Mr. Federal Way’s mouth. Then again, maybe it just means Mr. Federal Way will spend more time in other grocery stores from now on.

Until we find out for sure, Mr. Federal way will lament the end of Cheap Chicken Mondays.

Q: Mr. Federal Way, did you work on your tan with the sunshine we got over the weekend?

A: None of your business.

...obituaries Kathryn Marie Lobdell Blaha

July 15th, 1945 – April 7th, 2015.

Our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Kathryn Marie Lobdell Blaha died on Tuesday, April 7th, in Federal Way, Washington at the age of 69. She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 15th, 1945 to George Ulysses and Norma Eileen Lobdell. She was the first born of three children to George and Norma. She was the sister to Robert Martin (Marty) Lobdell and Dianna Lynn Lobdell Tucker. George, Norma and Kathy returned to Washington after the war efforts and made their home in Burien. Kathy attended Sunnydale and Chelsea Park Elementary and Highline High School.

She met and married Johnny Raymond Blaha on March 13, 1966 at Highline Christian Church in Burien. They celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary in 2015. They are the parents of two daughters, Kimberly Anne Blaha Barnett and Susan Eileen Blaha.

Kathy and Johnny made their lifelong home in Federal Way. Her employment included working at Seattle Hardware, as a postal deliverer for the city of Auburn, the Boeing Company and for Lovers Package as an outside vendor.

She later became the local care giver to many children in the neighborhood. Realizing the future of the video industry, Johnny and Kathy opened three award winning video stores called Video Showcase, the first stores of their kind in the area. In retirement, Kathy enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren.

Kathy, as well as her sister Dianna, daughters Kimmie and Susan bravely struggled through life with the affliction of Muscular Dystrophy. This led Kathy to spend her life helping to search for a cure. Her endless efforts and contributions to the cause will long be remembered and carried on in her name.

Kathy was preceded in death by her parents, her sister Dianna, her daughter Susan and Johnny’s parents John and Addy Sue Blaha of Klamath Falls, and step brother Larry Parks of Renton. She is survived by her husband Johnny, her daughter Kimmie and husband Brian Barnett of Enumclaw, grandchildren MacGyver Raymond Smith, Benjamin Isaac Barnett and Brandon Ray Barnett of Enumclaw, her brother Marty and wife Liz of Lakewood, brother in law Bill Blaha and wife Ann of Klamath Falls, step mother Winifred Parks-Lobdell of Burien, step sister Tina Phipps of Kent, step brother Richard Parks and wife Liz, nieces and nephews Tami Tucker and Josh Tucker of Marydel, DE, Beth Edwards and husband CJ of University Place, Kris Lobdell and wife Emily of Gig Harbor, Joelle Phipps and Daniel Phipps of Renton, and many grand nieces and nephews.

Following Kathy’s wishes, a wake in Kathy’s honor will be held at the home of Brian and Kimmie Barnett on Saturday, June 6th. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to The Muscular Dystrophy Association.

body of Highline College, where I serve as the student body president and primary community relations officer representing our 17,000 students. This letter is in regard to the Sound Transit light rail proposal that is currently under deliberation within your governance body. As our school serves over 3,300 students that live in Federal Way, including myself, we feel obligated as constituents to seek your support as our representatives.

You are facing a very important decision that will provide infrastructure to southwest King County and Federal Way. The decisions we make on this issue will impact the residents, businesses and institutions along the route for many generations. As students, this is an issue of access and equity. A station designated at a college allows riders transit access to higher education and social mobility.

Highline serves a population that is traditionally under-

represented, marginalized and disconnected with local, regional and state policy-makers. For many of our students, this letter may be their only feasible voice to be added to this important decision.

We advocate strongly and ask your support for the station at Highline College, adjacent to the college on the west side of State Route 99. We need your support. Your community college needs your support.

In short, we: • Desire the station to be adjacent to the college on Highway 99 where it can serve riders who will use the college station as their destination.

• We desire that station be named the “Highline College” station, keeping in the tradition of naming stations after landmarks and destinations.

Highline College has been serving our students for 50 years. The college will likely be here in this location for the

www.federalwaymirror.com [ ROEGNER from page 4] The city used six years of financial data totaling “a half a million dollars” to make the numbers sound really big rather than the current contract, which at $76,000, is pretty small and by comparison represents only a little more than half what the Performing Arts and Events Center director gets paid. According to the mayor, the Parks director and the facility manager said they did not believe the family theatre was being run in the best interests of

the city.

Centerstage countered, with indignation suggesting the city was “disingenuous” and, unsurprisingly, dramatic, saying, “This will be the death of Centerstage.” Some Centerstage supporters accused the new, younger and more exciting performing arts center of turning the young mayor’s head. The marriage appeared headed for dissolution.

But then, politics once again took over. And after 800 friends of the jilted

Centerstage showed whose side they were on in the court of public opinion, suddenly the city set a new negotiating meeting and to allow for additional sessions, a three-month extension was agreed to.

Actually, the city wanted this issue off the public radar fast.

Now both sides are pledging devotion and trying to work things out. There is no marriage counselor but they will try dating again to reinvigorate the relationship. As one

city insider said, “We put the toothpaste back in the tube.” At best, that is wishful thinking. This was an unforced political error in judgment that did not have to happen. And potential candidates for mayor in two years took note of the weakness.

While the comparison to a romantic relationship was done with my tongue planted firmly in my cheek, it also may be accurate.

The contract will likely be signed and the relationship will continue, but the

trust has been irrevocability compromised. We don’t know for sure what was said in the meetings because both sides interpret the dialogue differently, but we do know that the city administration completely misjudged, and mishandled, a sensitive negotiating process. Did the city really overreact and just throw up its hands and terminate the contract? Or are the conspiracy theorists correct? Was there a plan to give management of the Knutson Theatre to the performing arts center director all along?

If it is the former, then city staff led their boss, the mayor, into another political trap and have tarnished his standing with an important voting block. You may recall the mayor had to step in and fire a “rogue” parks consultant over an allegation of proposed expenditures outside budget guidelines. In neither case should the mayor have been put in such an unwinnable and embarrassing public position. The chief of staff and department directors are supposed to keep the mayor out of trouble, not create it for him.

Ferrell came out looking bad on two counts. First, that his staff let the situation get out of control, and second, it appears all you have to do to get your way is send City Hall 800 emails.

You may not have noticed, but the City Council was nowhere to be seen. They kept a very low profile and let the mayor get out of his own mess without any support from them. My guess

is, most of them would have sided with Centerstage had the issue gone to the council. They will gladly support the 90-day extension.

If, however, it is the latter, and Ferrell agreed to or directed his staff to try and replace Centerstage as managers with the new performing arts center director, then it was a bungled job that backfired. Changing the management may not be a bad idea, as that is probably not the strength of the Centerstages’s leadership anyway. But changing management shouldn’t also mean reducing Centerstage’s role to building tenant.

To finesse the issue into “an everybody wins” agreement, the city could simply provide a modest increase in the amount of money to Centerstage and redefine that the money will be allocated for the costs of community productions, including staff costs, and retain the theatre’s storage needs. In exchange, the city handles some or all of the management. Everybody walks away a winner and the relationship can have time to heal.

Ferrell and city staff did not look good in this latest episode and they need to ask themselves, “how did this happen, what did we learn and what needs to change in our management style to avoid this happening again?”

ROYALS WIN FEDERAL WAY NATIONAL LITTLE LEAGUE MAJORS CHAMPIONSHIP IN THRILLER

The game lasted three and a half hours and had a little of everything as the Royals beat the Giants in the Federal Way National Little League Majors Championship on Saturday.

There were 308 pitches thrown in the game. Eighty-five of those pitches came from Royals pitcher Ryan Elgar and 88 came from Giants pitcher Tyler Harries, both in relief. Elgar recorded 20 outs in his 85 pitches, while Harries escaped from bases loaded, no-out situations twice without allowing a run.

The Giants took a 4-0 lead in the first, only for the Royals to tie it up in the second. Elijah Morales tied the game on a home run.

The Giants took a 5-4 lead in the third, only for the Royals to tie it in the sixth on a Scott MacClaren lead-off home run.

The Giants’ Prince Faamelle and Isaiah Erickson hit back-to-back two-out doubles to take a 6-5 lead.

Down to their final out with no one on base, MacClaren hit a grounder up the middle to keep the Royals alive. TJ Hurn fouled off an 0-2 pitch, then lined the next one over the right-center fence for a walk-off, home run, giving the Royals a 7-6 victory and the championship. The Royals play the Auburn Pirates in the Tournament of Champions at 9 a.m. on Saturday, June 6 at the South King County Fields.

Baseball state championship: Decatur finishes fourth

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

T

he Golden Gators began the season with dreams of just being in the playoff hunt after losing a lot of talent and moving up to 4A. They ended the year with dreams of a state championship, though they came up just short in that endeavor.

Decatur faced South Kitsap in the semi-finals at Joe Martin Stadium in Bellingham. The Wolves had been in this position the last two seasons.

The Gators had not been this far in almost three decades.

Earlier on in the season, Decatur had bested South Kitsap 6-2. It was not to be this time as the Wolves shut out the Gators 5-0.

South Kitsap got to Decatur pitcher Garrett Westberg in the third inning for three runs. In the 5.2 innings he pitched, Westberg only allowed five

Decatur baseball team poses for a team photo after their games at the Yamia regional. Contributed photo hits and four walks and struck out six batters. Only two of the four runs scored on him were earned.

The Wolves added two more runs in the sixth to give their pitcher, Mac McCarty, a little more insurance.

Decatur was able to get to McCarty a bit, but was never able to finish the job. They managed five

hits and five base-on-balls, but McCarty always found a way to get the final out before a run could cross the plate. The low-scoring games finally caught up to Decatur.

“We left runners on base in both games,” Decatur head coach Korey Sites said. “Sometimes baseball is just like that. We just couldn’t get a hit at the

right time and that’s just how the entire weekend went.”

South Kitsap went on to win the state championship against Newport after beating the Gators.

Decatur played Gig Harbor in the third/fourth place game and fell 3-1 to the Tides.

“I’m really proud of what we achieved this

year,” Sites said. “We tied the best the school has ever done in its 40-year history and that’s just a huge achievement.”

The fourth place finish is tied with the 1988 team for the best in school history.

The team will once again see a lot of established talent move on before next season. Pitching will take a huge hit much like it did coming into this year.

“I’m happy with the foundation we have built for the future,” Sites said.

“We’ve never had a team practice as hard as this year’s team and it showed on the field. All that being said, our league is tough and we’re going to lose a lot of pitching. Young guys will need to step it up, especially the young pitchers. We’ve got to go back out there and prove ourselves again next year.”

Decatur finishes the year with a league record of 7-5 and an overall record of 15-16.

Golf state tournaments: Siblings lead the way for Federal Way golfers

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

T

homas Jefferson’s siblings, Sean and Hanna Yi, are known to be two of the best golfers in the state. Last year, they both finished in the top 15 of the their state tournaments. This year they both finished in the top 10.

Sean Yi tied for second place at last year’s boys state championship at Camas Meadows Golf Course. He actually had the lead on day one, but struggled the second day.

This year he finished sixth, but was more consistent with his scores at The Creek at Qualchan

in Spokane. He had a score of 72 on the first day and a 2-under-par 70 on the second for a total of 142. He finished just three strokes behind the three leaders who went to a playoff.

Hanna Yi improved on her 14th place finish this year as she tied for 10th. She finished with a score of 76 on the first day of play at Indian Canyon Golf Course in Spokane. Her second day didn’t go quite as well as she finished with a score of 83 for a total of 159.

Hanna Yi’s teammate Jenna Muller failed to make the cut as she finished with a day one score of 90, three strokes over the cutoff mark of 87.

Decatur also sent three golfers to the state playoffs.

Alex Chan was only the fourth seed out of the West Central District in November. He finished higher in the state tournament as he earned a third place finish.

It is the highest finish ever of any singles player from Jefferson.

Chan’s only loss resulted

in the only set he dropped at the state tournament as well.

Issaquah’s Jackson Suh handed him a 2-0 loss (6-1, 7-5) in the semifinals.

Suh did not drop a set in the tournament enroute to a state championship win.

Chan defeated both the fifth and sixth place finish-

Cameron Martin and Donavon Gomez lost their first match in the doubles tournament, but responded with two wins, which guaranteed they would place in the tournament.

They fell 2-0 (6-1, 6-3) in their final match, resulting in an eighth place finish.

The boys team finished third in state overall.

Rileigh Qualls and Crystal Lee were the lone competitors in the girls tournament for the Raiders. They dropped their first match 2-1 (0-6, 6-1, 6-4) to the duo that eventually finished in sixth place.

Qualls and Lee won their next three matches

and dropped only one set in the process. They earned a fifth place finish in the end. The girls finished in eighth as a team.

Jefferson had eight wins total in the tournament, which is two more than any other year.

Todd Beamer’s Avery Liening was the only girls singles competitor from the area to make the state tournament. Much like the participants from Jefferson, Liening found her own success.

After dropping the first match to state runner-up, Vivian Gozman of Newport, Liening won her next two matches. She lost the final match, but still ended the tournament with an eighth place finish.

Track and field state championships: Federal Way’s Sallee wins triple jump title

BY TERRENCE HILL thill@fedwaymirror.com

T

he Eagles have been knocked from their perch as the top track and field program in the South Puget Sound League 4A. Both the girls and boys teams found themselves unable to win the state championship for the third consecutive year.

Despite not taking home the team state championship, there was still plenty of success to go around at Mount Tahoma Stadium in Tacoma during the weekend as at least one athlete from each Federal Way school medaled in an event.

The biggest winner was Federal Way’s Mason Sallee who claimed the 4A state championship in the triple jump event. Sallee jumped a distance of 47-7 on his final jump, which was good enough for the title.

It is the third consecutive triple jump championship an Eagle has won. Keenan Curran won in 2013 and Tyson Penn, who won the 3A triple jump and high jump this year in Bellevue, won in 2014.

D’Jimon Jones came close to being the state champion in the high jump

event as he finished second behind University’s Noah Martin. Martin and Jones both cleared 6-08 but were unable to clear 6-10. Jones needed three attempts to clear 6-08 to Martin’s one attempt, thus giving Martin the top place.

Khristian Pickens also picked up two points in the high jump for the Eagles as he finished in seventh and cleared 6-04.

Chico McClatcher was the last member of the boys team to medal in an event as he finished second in the long jump with a distance of 22-05 1/2. Kentwood’s Brandon Stribling earned the top place with a distance of 23 3/4.

Karis Cameron was the big winner for the girls team. Cameron medaled in the long jump, 100-meter, 200-meter and 4x200-meter events. Her best finish was in the long jump, where she finished fourth with a distance of 17-10 1/2. She finished sixth in both the 100 and 200. The 4x200 team finished in fifth.

Mariyah Vongsaveng also medaled in multiple events.

While she was unable to win a state championship for the fourth straight year, she was also a part of the

4x200 team and finished in third in the 100 hurdles.

Her leg injury caught up to her again in her final event, the 300 hurdles. She managed to finish the race in eighth and had to be carried to the trainer’s room. She was able to make it to the awards podium.

Ariya Kendrick and Kemi Akinlosotu were the other two members of the 4x200 team, rounding out the medalists from Federal Way. Todd Beamer’s highest placing athlete was Reed Copeland, who finished sixth in the girls triple jump event. She jumped a distance of 36-11 1/2.

Reeve Normandia medaled for the Titans as he finished seventh in the 300 hurdles.

Thomas Jefferson saw their lone medal come from Taylor Sterling in the girls high jump event. Sterling finished eighth in the high jump event. Her jump of 5-02 was actually tied for the fifth-highest total, but the number of jumps needed to clear the height bumped her down in a tightly contested event.

Decatur’s top performer was Parris Watson, who finished third in both the [ more TRACK, page 12 ]

shot put and discus events. Watson had a distance of 42-1 1/4 in the shot put event. In the discus event, she was one of the four girls to break the 130 foot mark. Her best throw was 133-3.

Three of the four members of the Gators 4x100 team rebounded after a near-miss at qualifying for that event by placing in the the 4x400 relay. Kemuel Santana, Isaiah Diggs and Maksim Afichuk were joined by Daniel Calderon and managed an eighth place finish.

Two meet records set by Decatur’s Franky Siliga in 2013 fell over the weekend. His records in the wheelchair shot put and discus events were broken by Pasco’s Brandon Stroh.

Stroh surpassed his record in the shot put by three feet with a throw of 28-03 3/4 and in the discus by 19 feet with a throw of 86-09.

Siliga still holds the record in the javelin throw as Stroh fell short of the 79-01 mark by two-and-a-half feet.

In the 1B state championships at Eastern Washington University, Christian Faith School’s Katrice Pond won both the girls discus and shot put events. Ciera Zimmerman finished second in the girls high jump and Denise Williams finished seventh in the 300 hurdles event. The girls finished in tenth overallwith 30 points.

The boys 4x400 team of Rhett Bryson, CJ Cabiles, Noah Wells and Ignatius Medani placed third. Medani also finished seventh in the 100. Austin Johnson also medaled, finishing eighth in the javelin throw event. The 4x100 team made it to the finals, but was disqualified.

In all, Federal Way schools sent 45 athletes to the state championships. Twenty-two of those athletes went home with medals. Sallee and Pond were the only state champions.

A successful season did not end quite how the Titans wanted or expected. After going 22-4 prior to the state playoffs, Beamer still found themselves matched up against one of the tournament favorites in Woodinville.

Woodinville went into the tournament with a 21-1 record.

Above, Decatur senior Isaiah Diggs finishes the final leg of the boys 4x100-meter relay. Below, Federal Way junior Ariya Kendrick runs the third leg of the girls 4x200 relay. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror

Beamer was shutout 10-0 in six innings by the Falcons. This was the second year in a row Woodinville ended their hopes of a championship.

The Titans were still alive in the consolation bracket after the loss and could still finish in third.

They defeated Eisenhower 4-3 in their

next game. A thunderstorm halted the final games of the first day, forcing them to wait until the following morning to play their final scheduled game against Snohomish on Saturday.

Beamer fell to the Panthers 7-5 and was eliminated from the tournament. They end the year with a 23-6 record.

Bill Block, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development regional administrator, stated King County has joined the challenge to end veterans’ homelessness, which has a goal of “no unsheltered veterans” in participating cities, counties and possibly states in the future. “[The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development] is very pleased to be putting 33 vouchers toward this project,” Block said.

Mediterranean Gyro Grill: Let your taste buds travel

Denny’s serves up grand celebration on June 5 FROM STAFF REPORTS

Denny’s in Federal Way will celebrate its recent remodeling by serving up an all-day grand celebration on Friday, June 5, beginning at 8 a.m.

Located at 34726 S. 16th St., the newlyrenovated restaurant will offer diners a first look at its all-new, locally-inspired design and updated features.

Denny’s underwent an extensive topto-bottom interior renovation, complete with a hint of Federal Way flavor. The recently-reopened diner will feature an exclusive Federal Way mural, in addition to updated booths, chairs and tables.

Modern wall accents, hardwood floor tiles, a fresh coat of paint and landscaping ensure guests will enjoy an all-new Denny’s from every angle.

homemade; the small zaatar, mixed Middle Eastern spices, herbs and sesame sprinkled with olive oil and baked on a homemade pita; or a spring composition of tabouli — cut parsley, tomato, cucumber and onion slices mixed with cracked wheat, olive oil and lemon. And, of course, that strongly spiced yet amazingly balanced shish kabob of beef and lamb, which is the chef ’s secret weapon.

Some customers can’t get enough of the specialty of the house, the gyro, served simply as a sandwich, in a salad or even on a pizza. Others love the maoussaka — layers of eggplant, potatoes and ground meats all lovingly topped with house made béchamel sauce.

On my last visit, I was captivated by the pillowy (and of other worldly delicate appearance) spanakopita with its crunchy filo-crust, stuffed with fresh organic spinach, pomegranate juice, feta cheese, onions and minced herbs.

I enjoyed this classic dish with a new classic wine called ksara, a beautifully balanced white wine from (I can’t believe this) the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon. This indicative blend of chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and semillon was crisp, bright and a great surprise!

And then comes the baklava (you can get either pistachio or walnut), with its complex layers of flavors, topped in local honey, of course, and made in-house each morning.

This casual dining mecca is a solid piece in the tapestry of the flourishing Federal Way food scene. All the Mediterranean Gyro Grill asks from you is an open mind and a willingness to let your taste buds travel to an area of the world where your feet might dare to tread.

In exchange, you will spend an hour or so in an elevated state of being.

Mediterranean Gyro Grill is located at 34024 Hoyt Road, SW. For information, call 253-874-1144.

A TASTE AND A SIP

I

f you want to understand the Mediterranean Gyro Grill —the urbane Middle Eastern restaurant located in a nondescript strip mall — you could do worse than to look at the plate of Chicken Shawarma there, the culinary anchor to the long, multi-faceted menu that are this restaurant’s reason for being.

You will find curled grape leaves, sweetly austere rice and vegetables stuffed in imported leaves sided with homemade tzatziki, and some briny, lightly breaded and fried Kibbehground bulgur, stuffed with meat and nuts.

Mini-balls of falafel are strewn next to baba ganouj, almost there as much for their crunch as for their bright flavor. The baba ganouj itself, half an inch thick, is impossibly smooth and served just to the point when it is maximally luscious.

You will eat these in a few bites without pausing to reflect on the thousands of air miles, centuries of technique and precise timing that have come together in this incredible food set in front of you. And you are not meant to reflect — I don’t think.

Mediterranean Gyro Grill has become locally famous for being the authentic locale for true Mid-East flavors. A Mediterranean palace (such as it is) that refuses to do anything on the cheap, much to its customers fervent delight.

From the time the doors opened, this mandate towards the authentic was seen as a true necessity for success. Mediterranean Gyro Grill’s founder, Chef Jay Barbour, has been in the restaurant business for nearly 25 years and this life of experience shines through in the style and passion he has for his food and his clientele.

“Our clientele is everything to us,” Barbour said. “Everything we do is to satisfy our guests. We believe in what we do. We believe in our food, our service and our passion for getting it right.”

So at Mediterranean Gyro Grill, that baba ganouj may be followed by a small plate of hummus, organic and

Federal Way resident Robert Colbert is a food and wine enthusiast.

To kick off the grand re-opening festivities, Denny’s will offer select diner classics at a reduced price for 24 hours on June 5.

Hundreds of additional prizes, including complimentary cups of Denny’s new signature coffee blends for one month with the purchase of a limited-edition Denny’s mug, will be given away during the celebration. “[The] reopening is not only an exciting day for the residents of Federal Way, but for all of us at Denny’s, as well,” said Davinder Chawla, Denny’s franchisee.

“We’ve been a key part of this community for many years, and we couldn’t think of a better way to thank our friends and neighbors for their continued support than with a grand celebration.”

Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, the Federal Way Denny’s will continue to serve great food at affordable prices for breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night in a relaxed, friendly environment.

CRIME

This week’s…

ALERT

Police Blotter The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log: Forcible fondling: At 6:54 a.m. on May 31 at an unknown address, a teenage girl reported that a teenage male who she had a prior relationship with held her down by sitting on her belly. She told police the suspect held one of her arms down and proceeded to fondle and physically assault her. The investigation is ongoing.

Man shot near restaurant: At 1:13 a.m. on May 31 at 2002 SW Campus Drive, police officers responded to the Puerto Vallarta restaurant for a report of a shooting that occurred in the parking lot.

Dispatch advised police that a black SUV that was occupied by two black males was in the parking lot and that the passenger of the SUV was the shooter. The SUV fled the scene in an unknown direction. Dispatch also said that a male was shot in the leg but was conscious. His injury was not serious, police said. The investigation is ongoing.

Male punches woman who refused sex: At 9:02 a.m. on May 31 at an unknown address, police responded to an assault report. A female disclosed a male solicited her for sex and when she refused, the male punched her and stole her phone.

Police investigate suspicious fire: At 11:53 a.m. on May 31 in the 33000 block of 25th Ave. SW, police were dispatched to assist South King Fire and Rescue with an investigation of a suspicious fire. A resident found a smoldering planter and doused it with water earlier that morning.

The fire did not cause damage to any of the housing structures and was isolated to a planter near the playground. The witness saw four juveniles around the fire when he or she extinguished it. Police did not know how the fire started but noted it was likely caused by fireworks that someone set off the night before.

Neighbor upset over ‘spying’ drone: At 3:36 p.m. on May 31 in

the 2400 block of S. 298th St., police responded to a report of a harassment. The resident said his neighbor was flying his drone around his home. He stated the drone hovered outside of his windows and he believed his neighbor was spying on him.

The neighbor told police he flies his drone over his neighbor’s house when it takes off, but he did not intentionally cause the aircraft to hover around his neighbor’s house. The responding police officer watched the drone owner’s video footage and it did not show the drone hovering around the resident’s house. Police advised the neighbor to avoid flying the drone near his neighbor’s house, or it could be construed as harassment.

Man runs head-on into oncoming traffic: At 4:25 p.m. on May 31 at 32000 Pacific Highway S., a police officer observed a man walking in the intersection of South 312th Street and Pacific Highway South, with no regard for oncoming traffic.

The man told police he was being followed and continually looked over his shoulder.

He said he was going to get shot and stabbed, and kept asking police to arrest him or put him into a patrol car. He then ran head-on into oncoming traffic in both lanes with no regard to traffic. He asked police to shoot him. Police found suspected crystal meth on the man. Five police officers restrained the man and strapped him to a medical bed.

Police seized the drugs and the man was involuntarily committed.

Robbers point gun at grandmother and infant: At 6:56 p.m. on May 31 in the 32000 block of 19th Lane SW, police were dispatched to the Retreat at Maple Hill Apartments for a report of a male seen running out of an apartment with a gun in his hand. Dispatch advised police that witnesses saw and heard five or six subjects in their early 20s yelling and screaming.

Dispatched also advised that several reporting parties could still hear the yelling, so police requested additional officers and a K-9 officer to respond to the scene to conduct a track for the suspects. However, the K-9 was later canceled when police learned the suspects left in a beige Marine Power

colored SUV. The victim who lives in one of the apartment units told police he was packing his belongings and preparing to move out, when he observed a male at his front door, another male standing on the staircase outside of his unit and a third male on the landing at the top of the stairs. The victim said the males asked him if he had drugs to sell. He told them he does not sell drugs and they slowly left. The victim described one of the males as a black male between 15 to 18 years old, 5 feet 4 inches with a “chunky” build. The other male at the door was described as a black male between 15 to 18 years old, 6-feet 1-inch tall with a muscular build.

At approximately 6 p.m., the suspect with the chunky build returned with two different males. One of the other males was described as a black male with a large afro hairstyle, approximately 17 years old. The third male was described as a black male, about 6-feet 3-inches tall. The victim met the males at the bottom of the staircase outside his apartment unit and asked the group what they wanted.

One of the males asked him, “Are you on that?”The victim believes they were referring to narcotics. He advised the suspects he was not on drugs and told the males to leave.

The chunky male, who was wearing gloves and a hooded sweatshirt, had a handgun in his sweatshirt pocket, according to the victim. The tall suspect, who appeared to get upset with the chunky suspect, took the gun from him and pointed the gun at the victim and said, “Where’s the weed?”

The victim told the suspect he did not have any drugs. The tall suspect “shoulder checked” the victim and the three suspects ran up the stairs into his apartment unit. The victim followed the suspects because he was concerned for his grandmother and his 5-month-old infant. Inside the apartment, the suspects searched the victim’s property. The tall suspect was upset and yelled, “Where’s it at?” He pointed the gun at the victim twice and also pointed the handgun at the victim’s grandmother and infant, the victim told police. He was scared the suspect would shoot him and his family. The grandmother yelled “police” and the suspects ran out of the apartment.

at 27600 Pacific Highway S., officers stopped a driver for driving with dark tinted windows. Police used a tint meter to determine the windows were dark past the legal limit. Records indicated that the suspect was driving with a suspended license and was a potential armed career criminal. Police searched the vehicle and located a pistol under the passenger seat and found that it was stolen out of Tennessee. The suspect was booked into SCORE jail.

Man with knives arrested for imprisoning his wife: At 8:03 p.m. on May 29 at 1400 S. 320th St., police officers were at the Extended Stay America on an unrelated call, when they were advised that an in-progress order violation between a husband and wife was occurring at the same location on the third floor. Police went to the room and a woman who appeared distraught answered the door and said her husband was locked inside the bathroom. Police noted she had swelling around her mouth and that she repeated that her face and head hurt from her hair being pulled.

The woman told police that she and her husband dropped off their kids at a friend’s house and came back to the hotel where they’d been staying for a few days. An argument ensued when she told her husband she didn’t want to be with him anymore and that he needs mental health help. She said her husband became irate, cornered her in the room, pushed her up against a wall, covered her mouth and nose with his hand and restricted her breathing.

He kept her cornered for about an hour-and-a-half. During this time, she continuously yelled for help and said her husband continued to assault her by pulling her hair.

She eventually convinced him to let her sit on the bed, at which point he pulled out a knife, put it to his wrist and said, “You are the reason our children are going to grow up without a father.” She tried to get up multiple times, but he pushed her back onto the bed and said, “You are going to watch me die.” She was able to retrieve her cell phone near the bed and texted her friend to call 911.

Police told the man he was under arrest and that he needed to exit the room with his hands up, however he did not respond to the commands until approximately 41 minutes later, when he was booked into SCORE jail.

Police found eight knives belonging to the husband in the hotel room.

Teen reports men raped her in the woods

The victim then left to check on his girlfriend, who was in the parking lot packing their belongings.

The girlfriend later told police that the suspects had come by the residence that morning and knocked on the front door. One of the males asked for the girlfriend’s friend’s boyfriend. The friend and boyfriend recently had trouble with a gang calling themselves “TNL.” The problems have been mainly over social media drama, the girlfriend told police. Her friend and the friend’s boyfriend recently lived at the apartment.

Police noted there is probable cause to believe the suspects committed attempted robbery and first-degree assault. Police are still investigating this case.

Teen arrested for threatening to shoot store employees: At 10:05 p.m. on May 31 at 34520 16th Ave. S., a 14-year-old juvenile from Seattle entered Walmart and a Loss Prevention officer observed him walking fast. He walked to the women’s area, grabbed a backpack, then walked to the men’s section and selected several clothing items worth over $82 that he placed in the backpack. The suspect walked out of the store less than five minutes later.

Two Loss Prevention officers identified themselves to the suspect, who ran away from them through the parking lot southbound. The juvenile appeared to get tired about half way through the parking lot and he put his hand down the front of his waist band and told the officers, “I’ll shoot!

I’ll shoot!”The officers stopped and started to back away. The officers believed the suspect had a gun and feared for their safety.

The juvenile continued to jog through the parking lot and the Loss Prevention officers last observed him running toward Jack in the Box.

ALL MEN’S DRESS SLACKS

Shadow

is a 4-year-old male cat, black, domestic short hair (ID No. A459150). Shadow is very sweet and affectionate, and loves to explore his home.

He is also playful and energetic, jumping up and down off his kitty tower at the shelter.

While he can get over stimulated at times, his foster mom said he does well with kids. Shadow is FIV-positive, but that doesn’t mean he can’t live as long and normal a life as other kitties. He needs to be indoor only and either an only kitty, or live with other FIV-plus kitties. He would probably like a nice window perch where he can watch the world outside.

Shadow is litter box trained, neutered, current on vaccinations and microchipped. You can find out more about Shadow on his Pet Finder profile at www.petfinder.com/ petdetail/31866676/. His name is listed as Tao, but his foster family changed it to Shadow because he followed them everywhere.
