Bank merger voted down Coastal wanted to join with Prime Pacific so it could expand, offering shares of stock to Prime shareholders. By Jim Davis The Herald Business Journal Editor
A proposed merger between Coastal Community Bank in Everett and Prime Pacific Bank in Lynnwood failed Wednesday
night when Prime Pacific’s shareholders voted it down. Coastal is the largest bank headquartered in Snohomish County and wanted to expand to south Snohomish County by merging with Prime Pacific.
“We knew it was going to be a close vote, but we were surprised and disappointed it didn’t go in our favor,” said Eric Sprink, Coastal’s president and CEO. Prime Pacific can’t yet disclose the vote tally as part of the merger agreement, said Glenn Deutsch, Prime Pacific’s president and CEO. Deutsch said he was
somewhat surprised, adding that “you never know how shareholders will ultimately vote.” Under the merger agreement, Prime Pacific shareholders would have received 0.8047 shares of Coastal Community Bank’s stock for each of theirs. See MERGER, Page A8
Tough past for teen mom
Mischievous McMenamins

Brothers’ newest project transforms Bothell school into adult playground
By Eric Stevick
The Historic Anderson School project at 18607 Bothell Way NE, Bothell is the newest project for their company, which is based in Portland, Oregon. The project cost $26 million and is the first McMenamins hotel in the Puget Sound area. On opening day, scores of people wandered through the halls, taking a look at the art, reading stories of local people gathered by McMenamins historian Tim Hills and sampling the beer and wine and food. Ed Yusen lives in Bothell, five minutes away from Anderson School. He dropped by after work and came away impressed.
EVERETT — The teen reportedly left her fractured home more than a year before detectives made a public plea for help finding her. By October, they believed she might have delivered a baby while on heroin and without any medical attention. The Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office caught up with her earlier this week, but have found no sign of the baby, believed to be a girl. Leah Lund, 16, was listed in court records as “a long-term missing/runaway” until she was arrested along Casino Road on a warrant Monday. Deputies have not been able to obtain information that would help locate the child believed to have been born in September. “We’re still investigating,” sheriff ’s office spokeswoman Shari Ireton said Thursday. In 2013, when Lund was 14, a court granted a protection order prohibiting her father from having contact. Police reports indicate he disciplined her with a belt. He later faced allegations of violating the court order for showing up at the south Everett home. Even though the girl wasn’t there at the time, the home was considered her residence. Deputies received two reports of her father at the home in September 2014. “I believe Leah has run away because of (her father’s) presence,” a deputy wrote at the time. In one instance, a police dog bit the man on the hip when he hid in a boarded-up carport, records show. At the time, the girl’s mother told a deputy that the father had been threatening and that she wanted him removed, records show. The father was found at the home again Tuesday. He was arrested for investigation of violating the protection order. He told a deputy that Leah had not been at the home in more than a year so he didn’t believe he was violating the order, records show.

BOTHELL — So it takes a certain amount of mischievousness to make a principal’s office into a bar. That’s what brothers Mike and Brian McMenamin did in their newest project. They rebuilt the Historic Anderson School in downtown Bothell into a hotel with bars and restaurants hidden around the campus. The project, which opened Thursday, includes a brewery, a 134-seat movie theater and a 112-foot-long saltwater pool. The Principal’s Office was where Karen McDonald was headed Thursday afternoon. The
