Bothell police detective found not guilty Former BHS resource officer acquitted of sexual misconduct, will return to work

BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

A

King County jury took just two hours of deliberation to acquit a Bothell police detective on Tuesday on all three counts that she engaged in sexual misconduct with an underage female Bothell

High School student.

Dione E. Thompson, 46, was the acting school resource officer at the time of the incidents that allegedly took place in 2010 when the girl was 17 years old. Thompson was charged with three counts of first degree sexual misconduct in February.

Thompson has been cleared to return to work on Monday as a patrol officer.

“I’m obviously very very pleased that the jury acquitted her so quickly, I believe that justice was done,” said David Allen, Thompson’s defense attorney.

Thompson took the stand

in her own defense during the three-week trial.

“She was on the stand for a day and a half and she didn’t have anything to hide, she wanted to tell the truth that she was innocent,” Allen said.

“She didn’t want to hide behind the council table,” [ more BOTHELL page 17 ]

Kenmore initiative aims to get residents to the water

BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

The city of Kenmore is trying to obtain more access to Lake Washington for residents through its “Get Me to the Water” initiative. AARON KUNKLER, Kenmore Reporter “Squire’s Landing is a great place, because the river is protected and we can teach beginners,” he said.

The Sammamish River is a slow-moving river originating from the Lake Sammamish near Redmond. Its lazy pace lets rowers paddle up and down the river and into

Lake Washington with ease, Ritchie said. He is also happy to see Kenmore encourage waterbased sports “It’s a really low cost way of doing things for people,” he said. “It really helps the city identify itself as a type of place that’s trying to work on quality of life for fami-

lies.”

Squire’s Landing also has a man-made lagoon where Karlinsey said the city wants to eventually construct a boardwalk around the perimeter to let people enjoy the natural wetlands.

A little more than a quarter-mile downstream across the river is Rho-

dodendron Park, which includes waterfront access, two play areas, a basketball court and other development.

Contiguous to the park is the boat landing owned by the Department of Fish and Wildlife where Karlinsey said the city worked with the department to resurface the parking lot, revegetate surrounding areas and install a bathroom, on top of adding an additional boat-input lane.

Log Boom Park lies around a mile west of Rhododendron Park along the banks of Lake Washington and features an undeveloped beach, a play set, a walkway with plaques featuring images and stories about Kenmore’s history and a long dock protruding into the lake.

“Log Boom Park has so much potential,” Karlinsey said.

The city is looking at developing a beach at the site, possibly similar to Kirkland’s beach in [ more WATER page 9 ]

ity officials in Kenmore continue to look at ways of developing a more vibrant and accessible waterfront along the banks of Lake Washington under an initiative known as “Get Me to the Water.”

Kenmore City Manager Rob Karlinsey said access to the lake has long been an area of interest for residents, since most waterfront property is privately owned.

“Very little of it’s accessible by the public,” he said.

The city owns three plots of waterfront land along Lake Washington and the Sammamish River, which includes Squire’s Landing, Rhododendron Park and Log Boom Park.

A Department of Fish and Wildlife boat launch also borders Rhododendron Park and shoreline in Saint Edward State Park is also accessible from hiking trails to the water.

Squire’s Landing is

a large plot of wetland owned by the city and encompasses the mouth and partial length of Swamp Creek where it connects with the Sammamish River.

A mobile home and garage sit on the property in front of a dock. The dock came with the purchase of the land, which Karlinsey said was important due to the difficulty and red-tape associated with permitting the structures.

Eventually, the city will remove the house to open up the park.

“It’s a work in progress.

Acquiring the property is step one,” he said.

“We definitely want the public to know they can come and be comfortable there.”

While the house generally is unused, the dock holds equipment for the Kenmore Waterfront Activities Center, a rowing group which organizes canoe, kayak, dragonboat and stand-up paddle board events.

Doug Ritchie is the director of the group.

Bothell citizens worry about potential development in Shelton View Woods

BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

M

iles of footpath winds through thickets of blackberries and groves of cedars and pine, up steep inclines and over ridges. The clamor of traffic is quickly weeded out by old growth vegetation and steep hills filled with the sounds of bird calls and creaking wood inside Bothell’s Shelton View Woods.

However, change may be in the future as one forest property owner is seeking to have their plot rezoned, prompting concerns of future development among neighbors. The Bothell Parks and Recreation department is also looking at turning a portion of the land into a park.

The forest sits on more than 100 acres, and is composed of multiple plots owned by various private interests, as well as plots owned by the Department of Natural Resources, the Federal Emergence Management Agency and the United States Army. Some plots already have commercial or residential development on them.

Shelton View Woods is one of the last open spaces in Bothell and Kenmore aside from Saint Edward State Park, and has attracted a small but dedicated group of citizens calling for its preservation.

Long-time forest advocate Janet DeGrave bristles at the thought of development on the land she’s fought tooth and nail to protect during the past 23 years.

“For some reason, I have a very strong connection to the trees, and water and animals.

So for me, it’s something that I think about every day,” she said.

DeGrave moved into a house next to the woods 33 years ago after she said her real estate agent told her the ‘green belt’ behind her house was permanent. She later found out it wasn’t.

During the past two decades, she has appeared before the Bothell City Council multiple times, written countless editorial letters, attended meetings, started petitions and protested to save the woodland.

DeGrave isn’t alone in her desire to keep the forest an open space.

An online petition by a group called Save Shelton View Woods has gathered more than 700 signatures calling for the city to keep the woods as they are, or develop it into a park.

Bothell’s Parks Advisory Board was also interested, and voted last Thursday to draw up a proposal to look into purchasing a 26-acre plot from the Department of Natural Resources.

“At this point, I’m just waiting to see if there’s any interest,” said city Parks and Recreation Director John Keates. “It’s a pretty neat piece of property.”

If approved by the City Council, the Parks Advisory Board would begin drawing up plans to secure funding for the purchase. Since the Department of Natural Resources land is held in trust, it must be bought at an appraised fair market value, Keates said.

According to the DNR, an appraisal is a long and costly process, and is not started until later in negotiations.

Trust land, like the Shelton View Woods DNR plot, are owned by the state and used to generate revenue for capi-

Bothell citizens are concerned that the Shelton View Woods could be developed. AARON KUNKLER, Bothell Reporter tal improvements through logging or other means.

MC Coast LLC owns a 16.5 acre plot of land directly north of the DNR plot, and according to blueprints from study sessions held last month, may be looking to rezone them for medium- to high-density development, including apartments.

It could also house neighborhood convenience stores, in line with the city’s comprehensive growth plan.

City planners began updating their comprehensive growth plan in 2013, a process which is on an eight-year cycle. Senior planner Bruce

The latest advancement in Hip Replacement Orthopedic surgeons at EvergreenHealth are among the few physicians on the Eastside who perform Direct Anterior Approach Hip Replacement surgery, an option that significantly reduces recovery time and minimizes pain.

Blackburn said MC Coast LLC requested a rezoning of their property this cycle.

The city is discussing the proposed rezoning with the community and gathering information. No development plans for the MC Coast LLC plot have been submitted.

“We identified that was just too complex a discussion to be held at that time,” Blackburn said.

Three plans were presented, with plots owned by the DNR and Fruhling Sand and Topsoil remaining unchanged. Property owned by Canyon Ridge Condos to the

north of the MC Coast LLC property could be rezoned to more closely match their current use.

As the Northshore area continues to grow, developers are looking at unused plots of land to build on. Bothell’s Parks and Recreation Open Space Plan adopted in 2012 states there should be 3 acres of neighborhood park, 2.5 acres for community parks and 2.5 acres for regional parks per 1,000 residents.

DeGrave believes the entirety of the forest, aside from the Canyon Creek condos property, would satisfy these guidelines, but it’s more than regulations to her.

“I’ve gone from being able to see the joy and the beauty that (place) would bring me, to actually feeling it,” she said.”I hope that would be something that people could experience at some point.”

A Planning Commission and community hearing was held Oct. 16, where more than 40 people showed up to voice their opinion where city officials said resident input was appreciated.

Another meeting is scheduled for Nov. 18.

City Hall story overlooked important fact Your article on Bothell’s new City Hall overlooked an important fact. The city will pay 24 years of lease payments, which will start at $3.1 million a year and end at $3.3 million a year in 2039.

That means the new City Hall, when all is said and done, will cost in excess of $75 million. That is $1,460 per square foot, $1,786 per Bothell resident and $630,252 for each member of staff that will be working there.

Bet most of the staff could figure out a better way to spend that kind of money. I sure could. Things like training for the first responders, sidewalks and safe pedestrian crossings, more parks, safer roads, more open space, revitalization of Main Street and a transportation system that buffers neighborhoods.

Pat Pierce, Bothell

SR 522 is not as safe as it needs to be Recently, on the afternoon of Oct. 15, a driver crossed the center line and collided head on with an oncoming truck on the SR 522 bend between 61st Street Northeast and Ballinger Way. He suffered lifethreatening injuries after rolling his vehicle.

I commute to and from Kenmore on SR 522 five times a week. As I’m sure other commuters would agree, there seem to be numerous times when traffic is backed up due to a serious or fatal accident.

But I’m not writing as a disgruntled commuter who’s occasionally late getting home from work. I’m writing as a concerned citizen, father, and husband who doesn’t believe SR 522 is nearly as safe as it needs to be.

I know major, lengthy construction is currently underway alongside SR 522 on 61st Street Northeast, one of the reasons being to put in much needed sidewalks. But I also think simpler, quicker, and less costly improvements should be considered.

I also know it’s easy to criticize problems and much harder to think of viable solutions, but I’ll try nonetheless: Install precast concrete barriers in the center of the SR 522 curve between 61st Street Northeast and Ballinger Way. Wouldn’t this be a cheap, quick, and effective measure to prevent high speed collisions?

I applaud Kenmore government for the traffic and pedestrian safety improvements that are being funded now and have been put in place recently.

I think the current construction will make one of Kenmore’s busiest intersections a safer place, and last year’s speed limit reduction on SR 522 was a giant step forward. But I also hope we continue to act, especially for minor improvements that can have a major preventative impact.

Tom Watson, Kenmore

Editor’s note: Here is an official description of the accident that took place on SR 522 on Oct. 15 “The vehicle was driving erratically, westbound on Bothell Way; swerving into curbing, and traffic cones. The driver eventually drove the vehicle into a ditch. His jeep rolled and came back, upright on the roadway. The driver then applied the accelerator. His wheels turned to the left and he drove straight into a westbound vehicle. The driver was diagnosed with a medical condition and transported to Harborview Medical Center.

The westbound motorist and his passengers were not injured.”

Retirement in Reverse: Better read this if you are 62 or older and still making mortgage payments.

More than 1 million seniors have taken advantage of this “retirement secret.”

Americans are living longer. Home values are up. And for many senior citizens, their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their net worth.

With the cost of basic necessities such as food on the rise, it’s no wonder why more and more seniors are using HECM reverse mortgages to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement.

However, there are still millions of homeowners who could benefit from this FHA-insured loan but may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret,” notes Former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson.

“You know, some people have told me that reverse mortgages sound too good to be true. You get cash out of your home, no monthly payments, and you still own your home,” says Senator Thompson.

NO MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENTS?* EXTRA CASH? It’s true, no monthly mortgage payments are required with a reverse mortgage; the homeowners only have to pay for maintenance, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

In fact, reverse mortgages took hold when president Ronald Reagan signed the FHA mortgage bill into law over 25 years ago to help senior citizens remain

in their homes. “They’re simply an effective way for folks 62 and older to get the cash they need to enjoy their retirement,” notes Thompson.

FACT: In 1988 Pres- Although today’s HECM ident Reagan signed reverse mortgages have the FHA Reversebeen greatly improved Mortgage Bill. to provide greater protection for homeowners, there are still a lot of misconceptions. For example, many people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a reverse mortgage, which is not the case. One key benefit of a reverse mortgage is that it automatically pays off your existing mortgage, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for those on a fixed income.

Unfortunately, many homeowners who could benefit from a reverse mortgage don’t even bother to get more

information due to rumors they’ve heard. That’s a shame because reverse mortgages are helping many seniors live a better life.

A recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one reverse mortgage lender, found that 97% of their clients were satisfied with their reverse mortgages.

othell’s new city hall opened for business Oct. 26 with city officials planning the imposing 133,350 square foot structure, including a parking garage, with the future in mind.

Inside the general lobby are desks for nearly all the city’s services other than the police and fire departments. A section of wall lined with live vegetation rises to the second floor, filled with regional plants.

The new city council chamber is more than two times larger than the old chambers, and staff offices are lined on one side with floor to ceiling windows.

Planning for the new city hall began in 2006 to replace the old city hall which was constructed in 1938. The new build-

was an important consideration.

“Now they don’t have to go to multiple buildings to get service,” he said.

The building also houses an underground parking garage which will be available for public use from around 6 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. weekdays, and opening at 6:30 a.m. weekends.

With city officials saying that Bothell is projected to continue growing through regional development and annexation the building has space for around 200 employees even though only around 120 employees work there currently. It is anticipated to serve as city hall well

into the future.

“We view this building as something that will be around for at least the next 75 years,” Stowe said.

In total, the project was anticipated to cost $46.7 million and city officials said they are around $1.5 million under budget.

The new city hall will have a grand opening on Nov. 7 from 10 a.m. to noon and is located at 18415 101st Avenue Northeast.

positions on various city departments including the planning and library departments. To date, only the library position has been filled.

“We can’t get the first step done, which is the planning commission,” Baker said.

Commonly cited concerns from parents include the workload, which high school students already have, and the scheduling of city meetings, which are often held at night during the school week, Baker said.

Auburn has had a Junior City Council for the past few years, in which time Executive Assistant to the Mayor Tammie Bothell said they’ve been a great help.

“They have so many great ideas,” she said. “They just bring a new youth perspective to things, and it just keeps us connected to the youth of the community.”

The Auburn Junior City Council recently started their own community-wide anti-bullying initiative after deciding as a group to try and tackle the problem, Bothell said.

This student-driven design is essential to Auburn’s model, which allows students to have a voice in city governance.

“Seeing where they want to grow this I think is number one,” said Bothell.

Students must live in Auburn to be eligible for the council, with the majority of seats going to public school students since the

program is funded by the city, with at least one reserved for home schoolers or private school students.

Pfeil hopes Kenmore will create a program, viewing a lack of interest as something which can be addressed.

“I think the problem is an idea, a specific task list and then pulling in the right resources,” she said.

Her vision for a council would involve students working on park improvements, bike safety education and other jobs which she said adults may not be as interested in volunteering for but which she says look great on college and professional resumes.

“There’s opportunities for these kids to pay their way toward better college opportunity by being involved in the local community,” she said.

Baker said he still believes a Junior City Council would be an asset to the city, and is still open to setting one up if there is enough public interest.

There are currently two interns from Inglemoor High School working as event and organizing assistants for city events in Kenmore as volunteers as opposed to city councilappointed positions.

Beyond giving students more skills for future success, Pfeil also thinks there’s a simpler reason to include younger voices in city government.

“Community isn’t just about adults or seniors,” she said. “It’s also about youth.”

Bothell business hopes to put a dent in modern slavery

BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

S

ince she was 12-years-old, Kristina Valiani knew she wanted to work with skin and body care products, so last Saturday after eight months of planning, she opened her own store in Bothell’s Country Village.

Beauty of Hope is the 25-year-old Bellevue resident’s first independent venture, though she’s worked for big-name skincare businesses for years.

What makes her business unique is its mission and profit structure.

Ten percent of all purchases at her store go directly to the Seattle-based Real Escape from the Sex Trade, or REST, a non-

profit dedicated to ending human trafficking and the sex trade in Seattle.

“The giving back is in the DNA,” she said of her business model.

Sexual slavery has been an issue on Valiani’s mind for years.

“My church actually did a big campaign when I was 17 bringing awareness to human trafficking,” she said.

According to REST, between 300 to 500 minors are sexually exploited in Seattle every night, a number which the organization is actively trying to stop.

With her business, she hopes to bring even greater awareness to the problem, a strategy which she hopes other small businesses follow.

Kristina Valiani, 25, opened up shop in Country Village last Saturday after eight months developing her hand-crafted brand of skin and body care products. AARON KUNKLER, Bothell Reporter All her products are hand-crafted and made in her store, including soy candles, body butter, body

scrub, solid perfume, bath soaks and other products.

Beauty of Hope is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday

through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays and is located in Suite B.

Kenmore man creates app to help people make new friends

BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-repoter.com

One of the Seattle area’s less appealing qualities goes by many names, be it the ‘Northwest Nice,’ ‘Seattle Freeze,’ or simply standoffish. It’s the idea that transplants to the region have a difficult time making friends in the frigid Northwest, and it’s an issue Kenmore’s Antoine El Daher hopes to tackle with the release of his brand-new app.

Patook is the 32-yearold’s brainchild, which he’s developed over the past two years and released last week. The app is designed to facilitate friendships and commu-

nity involvement instead of dating or business networking.

It combines social-networking sensibilities with real-time localized discussion feeds, and a rating system which allows users to share their interests and connect with other like-minded users.

“The ultimate goal is for you to connect to other people in a meaningful way,” Daher said. “When you’re an adult, it’s not very easy to just make friends out of thin air.”

Daher is no stranger to the Freeze. Since moving to the area ten years ago, he’s dealt with the phenomena as well.

He stressed the app

isn’t for hooking up, like Tinder, but for finding platonic friends, and he hopes to keep cultivating a warm and inviting environment where people feel at ease.

While doing market research for Patook, Daher surveyed about 2,000 people on their experiences meeting new people in cities. He found 35 percent of people said it was very hard, and 50 percent of transplants within a five-year window said it was very difficult to make friends.

Though it only launched last week, Daher said the feedback he’s received is promising, particularly from expatri-

ates, students and people over 50.

“For these people, sometimes it takes a long time to make new connections,” he said. “I like for people to make great friends wherever they go.”

“The people who log onto it like it,” he said.

“It’s a pretty friendly atmosphere.”

The app is available online for iPhones and Android and is free for all users.

Suspects vandalize houses, set fire to garage

BY AARON KUNKLER akunkler@bothell-reporter.com

Four teenagers are facing felony charges after being arrested early Oct. 8 after deputies say they broke into two separate houses and set fire to a garage in Kenmore.

The suspects are three men and a woman, ranging in age from 14 to 19, with two of the men and the woman living in Kenmore, and the fourth man being from Woodinville, according to a release from the King County Sheriff ’s Office.

According to the report, police were called to a new home under construction in the 7400 block of Northeast 166th Street around 2 a.m. after receiv-

“That’s a thing I hear quite often: ‘When can we have our own beach,’” he said.

The current beach is what Karlinsey describes as a ‘critical area,’ which makes the shoreline wetlands incredibly hard for which to get permits.

He said the city is looking at moving a developed beach to the west and offsetting the development impact by improving the wetlands in Squire’s Landing.

Set in the middle of these parks is a large plot of undeveloped land called Lakepointe.

“Lakepointe is our holy grail, our Big Kahuna,” Karlinsey said.

The city has been in

ing a report of vandalism. When they arrived, deputies saw rocks inside the house and broken windows.

While checking out the house, the deputies smelled smoke and saw another new house’s garage was fully engulfed in flames, the report said.

Firefighters arrived and extinguished the fire.

Around 10 minutes later, deputies received a report of people running through their yard in the 16300 block of Juanita Drive Northeast.

Deputies arrived and saw the suspects running through a wooded area near a church, the report said.

They set up a K-9 unit and found the four hiding

discussion with the owners for more than three decades with a goal of establishing a park at Lakepointe by 2023.

Companies building the State Route 520 bridge have been renting buildings on-site for the past few years, but with construction wrapping up, city officials are optimistic about securing a portion of Lakepointe property, which is the last undeveloped property along Lake Washington of its kind.

Estimates for the whole plot including structures is more than $6 million, according to King County, but city officials hope the owners may donate portions of the waterfront to the city.

Homeschooling College Fair set for tomorrow

in the woods.

All four are being charged with residential burglary, with the 16-yearold Kenmore man facing an additional malicious mischief charge, and the 14-year-old woman and the 17-year-old man facing arson charges as well.

The juveniles were booked into the a juvenile detention facility, and the 19-year-old into King County Jail.

For nearly a decade, the Pacific Northwest Homeschool College Fair has introduced students to high-quality post-secondary options. This event has connected college admissions counselors to a demographic of empowered students who are challenging the paradigm of what is

Boeing in Puget Sound:

A Century of Partnership

B

oeing is coming up on a special year. In July, the company will be 100 years old. It’s a great success story, but Boeing didn’t do it alone.

They’ve had incredible support from the community. It’s this special relationship between Boeing and its Puget Sound neighbors that will make its second century even better for the company and the communities where its employees live and work.

Boeing and Puget Sound have come far in their journey together. Today, they’re major partners in international trade – with aerospace accounting for over half the state’s exports last year. Boeing is the largest single exporter in the U.S. – an important engine of the economy and a creator of jobs in the Puget Sound area.

Although Puget Sound is home to a number of major companies, Boeing remains the state’s largest private employer, with over 80,000 employees based here in Washington. In the past five years, Boeing and Amazon together accounted, directly or indirectly, for more than 40 percent of the jobs created in the Puget Sound region.

Commercial aviation is growing around the world, and Boeing’s success in global markets supports rising production rates in Boeing factories around Puget Sound. At the same time, as Boeing increases its international growth, it is also providing support in Puget Sound communities where the majority of its employees live.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations.

Boeing support for Puget Sound communities Boeing is an important presence in Washington state and in the lives of its residents, and has become a catalyst for positive change in millions of lives.

In 2014, Boeing, its employees and retirees gave more than $50 million to Washington state charities and nonprofit organizations. The continued growth in aviation means the Puget Sound region stands to receive continued strong community support for health and human services, arts, environmental, culture and civic engagement.

Boeing is working to significantly expand Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) educational opportunities for Puget Sound youth.

Boeing employees are also playing a leadership role in supporting their communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund of Boeing Puget Sound, more than $9 million in financial assistance was provided to local nonprofits to boost education, human services and veterans support.

The company is also inspiring the next generation of Puget Sound leaders. More than 650 Everett middle school students have participated in Boeing programs focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Students are also learning about clean energy and energy conservation due in part to a Boeing-funded science curriculum within the Everett School District.

Boeing partners with Everett Community College to train aviation mechanics, and has contributed more than $9 million to the United Way of Snohomish County and other organizations dedicated to service.

For the past five years, Boeing employees have volunteered to encourage recycling, employee engagement and community volunteering companywide.

The Sustainables, a Green Team based in the Puget Sound, has completed about 80 site-based projects since 2010, contributing to a 74 percent increase in recycling and environmental education initiatives at the local sites.

Boeing also supports military personnel and families. The Employees Community Fund awarded a grant to USO Northwest to support the construction on a new USO Welcome Center at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, which will serve more than 10,000 military personnel and their families each month.

Boeing is lead supporter for Rally Point 6, a nonprofit that helps veterans seeking employment, educational opportunities, assistance with benefits, housing or transition advice. Since the center opened in March 2014, more than 1,750 military, veterans and their families have found support.

With Boeing winning in growing the aerospace marketplace, Puget Sound residents will see a win of their own. As the state’s largest employer, Boeing has shown a commitment to giving time, talent and resources to build up the communities its employees call home.

TRUE. Guinness World Records list the Boeing Everett factory as the largest manufacturing building in the world by volume at 472 million cubic feet (13.3 million cubic meters).

Is Boeing a city?

TRUE. The Everett factory is like a small city, requiring its own fire department, security force, fully equipped medical clinic, electrical substations and water treatment plant.

FALSE. There are about 35,000 employees working at the Everett facility, and they work in three shifts around the clock.

The Boeing Factory is so big that it rains in the factory.

FALSE. Although the factory is the world’s largest building, it does not rain nor does it create any cloud/rain inside the factory building. However, when the factory was first built, clouds actually formed near the ceiling.

Is there a maze of walkways running below the factory?

TRUE. There are 2.33 miles or 3.7 kilometers of pedestrian tunnels running below the factory. The tunnels are also utilized for operating the utilities and comes in handy during winter when getting around in the cold and snow can be a challenge.

China becoming powerful catalyst for Puget Sound economic growth

C

hina is projected to become the world’s largest commercial airplane market by 2030, creating opportunities worth billions for the Puget Sound region.

The country is already Washington’s largest trading partner, with nearly a quarter of all the state’s exports headed for Chinese markets. In 2014, more than $20.7 billion in goods were exported, including apples, cherries, hops and wine.

Topping the export list is the aerospace industry and Boeing.

China’s rapidly growing aviation market plays a crucial role in Boeing’s current and future success, said Boeing Chairman Jim McNerney in a news release.

Boeing projects Chinese markets will need 6,330 new planes worth $950 billion by 2034, making them the company’s largest potential customer.

While Boeing makes up more than 50 percent of the Chinese commercial airplane market, the company is in a stiff competition to win Chinese orders against European plane-maker Airbus.

The European company opened an airplane completion facility in Tianjin, near Beijing, in 2008 for the A320, and announced plans this summer to open a facility to finish interiors of the twin-aisle A330 in China. Boeing is leveling the

competition with its Sept. 23 announcement to open a similar facility in China.

The company’s 40-year business relationship with China, which helped develop its aviation industry, could give the Puget Sound region an added advantage to come out on top.

An investment treaty between China and the U.S. could provide a framework

Boeing Mechanics giving President Xi an airplane tour in the Everett factory.

for broader investment in U.S. and Chinese economies, according to previous reports.

Supporters say, if signed, an agreement with China would create “a powerful catalyst for more economic growth,” according to The Daily Herald. The agreement would open up more of its market to American companies, provide clearer rules for Chinese investment in the U.S. and create jobs on both sides. Nonetheless, both sides have a long way to go in negotiating any investment agreement.

With Boeing’s announcement to build a China-based delivery center – the first of its kind outside the U.S. – job creation will be on the rise and employment on the 737 line in Washington will not be reduced, according to a memo from Ray Conner, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The deal announced Sept. 23 also involves delivering 300 Boeing jets worth $38 billion, nearly double last year’s record delivery of 155 airplanes to China.

Despite the competition and obstacles before them, Randy Tinseth, Boeing Commercial Airplanes’ vice president for marketing, said in a Sept. 16 Daily Herald report, that selling in the Chinese market depends on the same fundamentals as in others: relationships, patience and investment.

For Boeing, all three are covered.

Q&A on

Boeing and China

Airplane sales to China are vital to Boeing, its workforce and the region’s prosperity. Boeing has worked with Chinese aviation industry stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, government agencies and others - in mutually beneficial ways for more than 40 years.

Q:

What is the most important thing people need to know about China and Boeing?

A:

Boeing is a key driver of strong employment growth in the Seattle region over the past five years, according to a new economic study.

Seattle-area heavyweights Boeing and Amazon generate 43% of new Puget Sound Jobs

T

he Seattle metro area has experienced an impressive 15.5 percent growth in employment since 2010, with 43 percent of jobs generated by two of the area’s largest employers: Boeing and Amazon, according to a September report by the Seattle City Budget Office. In comparison, Washington State has seen 12.5 percent job growth and the U.S. overall 9.7 percent growth during that same time period.

Boeing and Amazon, both of which have had a long-established presence in the Puget Sound area (founded in 1916 and 1994 respectively), are re-

sponsible for the creation of high-skill, high-wage jobs with an average annual salary of $100,000 in Seattle and the surrounding areas. The economic robustness of these two major employers over the past five years has been directly linked to the addition of thousands of other secondary and tertiary jobs, such as in construction, retail and service sectors, that, when combined, account for a substantial amount of job growth in the region. In light of this, ensuring Boeing and Amazon’s continued success will be a key factor in maintaining a healthy regional economy.

You keep innovating.

We’ll keep caring for you.

Boeing is competing hard to win sales in China because China will become the world’s largest airplane market in the coming years, and our success there is vital to Boeing production and employment in the United States and Puget Sound. This year, Boeing will deliver about 25 percent of all the airplanes we produce, including about one in three 737s built in Renton, to China. And, over the next 20 years, Boeing has forecast demand there for more than 6,300 new airplanes valued at nearly $1 trillion. One reason why China’s airlines are growing so rapidly is that its middle class is as large as the entire U.S. population yet, on average, people in China travel on airplanes a tenth as often as Americans.

Q:

The Chinese economy seems to be struggling. Could this hurt Chinese demand for orders from Boeing?

A:

Our forecast for airplane demand accounts for fluctuation in markets over a 20-year period. We’re confident that China’s economy and aviation sector will continue to see strong growth over the long term.

Q:

What are the factors that determine whether Boeing or your competitor sells more airplanes in China?

A:

First and foremost, Boeing has to deliver the best and most fuelefficient airplanes and services to support our customers’ business

plans. In addition, we must continue to grow our 40-year presence and collaboration with China’s aviation industry because this supports our sales opportunities, market access and long-term growth. This is not surprising: Just as Americans like to buy products made in the USA, China and other countries expect Boeing to partner with their industry and contribute to their economies.

Q:

Why has Boeing decided to establish a 737 finishing and delivery center in China?

A:

China is the key international market for the 737: This year, Chinese carriers will take delivery of one out of every three 737s that our employees build in Renton. With this in mind, a 737 completion and delivery center makes sense for several reasons: it serves Chinese customers by bringing the 737 closer to home, it adds capacity that will enable our planned production-rate increases in Boeing’s 737 factory in Renton, and it allows us to collaborate with Chinese industry in a way that supports our access to the China market.

Q: Will this new facility in China cause layoffs in the Puget Sound?

A:

No. This facility in China increases Boeing’s 737 production capacity and will not result in layoffs or reduce employment for the 737 program. In addition, significant 737 sales to Chinese customers combined with this new China-based facility will enable higher 737 production rates on the 737 program in coming years.

The people of Snohomish County have been fishing, farming, teaching, protecting our nation and building amazing things for over a century.

For most of that time, The Everett Clinic has been here too, providing innovative healthcare to our friends and neighbors. Thank you for your support. We’re proud to be part of your extended family.

Boeing recruiters also have accelerated their efforts at Puget Sound schools with strong aerospace programs. In addition to career fairs, information sessions and factory tours, job offers are now presented more quickly to qualified individuals. Once hired, employees participate in a five-day enhanced orientation focused on quality and safety followed by hands-on training with Airplane Programs or Boeing Fabrication. The second wave of more than 30 new hires from high schools and skills centers start the program this month.

“The goal of the Pierce County Skills Center is to prepare students for high-wage, high-demand careers,” said Michelle Ledbetter, director, Pierce County Skills Center in Washington state. “Our aerospace manufacturing students are excited about the opportunity to start their careers in manufacturing at Boeing. These are viable, well-paying jobs with great opportunities for professional development and advancement.”

Shevchuk echoed that sentiment. “I’m looking forward to starting my Boeing career and taking on some new challenges. And, at some point, pursue a college degree on the company.”

Boeing makes $15 million investment in STEM learning

B

oeing Commercial Airplanes President and CEO Ray Conner announced that Boeing is providing $15 million to create the Boeing Academy for STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) Learning at the Museum of Flight . An additional $15 million match was announced by the family of the late Bill Boeing Jr., son of the company founder, bringing the total investment in the museum to $30 million.

The academy being created with the company’s investment represents a vigorous, new STEM-focused education initiative that aims to double the number of students served by the museum’s immersive programs over the next two years — particularly from communities under-represented in STEM fields — and connect them to fulfilling, in-demand careers.

Washington state leads the United States in creating STEM-related jobs, but, by 2017, an estimated 45,000 jobs requiring STEM education in Washington will go unfilled because of a lack

of qualified candidates, according to Washington STEM, a nonprofit organization advocating for increased investment in STEM education.

“This academy will help close that gap, and we are confident the Museum of Flight is the perfect partner to help us expand the pipeline of diverse, talented young STEM professionals in Washington and beyond,” Conner said. “Whether they choose aerospace or not, we’re happy to provide the opportunity, access and education that will enable them to develop their talents and grow their skills.”

The Boeing Academy for STEM Learning at the Museum of Flight will significantly expand STEM opportunities for Washington’s youths, company and museum officials said. The number of students served by the museum’s educational program is expected to double by 2017 and double again by 2019. Additionally, at least half of those students will be young women, students of color or economically disadvantaged, which makes it possible for

young people across the spectrum of the community to develop their talents and share in the promise of a better future, officials said.

“It allows us to reach more kids, allows a lot more kids to be involved in programs that we’ve already done and allows us to expand the program dramatically to reach underserved audiences,” said Doug King, CEO of the Museum of Flight, about Boeing’s investment. “What we find in our immer-

sive programs at the high-school level is that two-thirds of those kids end up going into STEM careers, and more than half of those are aerospace related.”

Meanwhile, June Boeing represented her late husband, Bill Boeing Jr., in announcing the $15 million match.

“He cared so deeply about the educational mission of the museum,” she said of her husband. “He would smile most brightly when in the midst of our eager young learners.”

“Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing is really a special way for us to recognize local students like you who are committed to school, demonstrating leadership, are active in your local communities and are setting a great example for your peers,” Conner said in the video. “That’s why we’re so excited to let you know that the youth-focused organization you are part of has been selected as one of our 2015 Legion of Youth recipients.”

Giving Back...

Boeing employees are making a significant difference in communities where they live and work. Through the Employees Community Fund (ECF) of Boeing Puget Sound, employees contribute funding for training for veterans, food for seniors, early learning for low-income children – and much more. Last year, more than $9 million in grants were awarded to community non-profits throughout the Puget Sound region. Here are some recent grant recipients.

Mary’s Place increases its reach

The Greater Trinity Academy’s new bus purchased with grant money from ECF funds. The bus will be used to transport students who are a part of the GTA Before and After School Program to local schools.

$40,000 grant for Greater Trinity

EVERETT — The Greater Trinity Academy (GTA) in Everett received a $40,000 grant to purchase a new bus to transport students who are a part of their Before and After School Program to local schools. The bus will also be used to transport GTA students to field trips and other educational opportunities in the community.

GTA serves underprivileged kids and families that cannot meet the financial demand of providing quality early childhood education.

Grant allows EFP’s food storage capability to expand

$17,000 grant for homeless KING COUNTY — The Emergency Feeding Program (EFP), located in Renton, was granted $40,000 to purchase new warehouse equipment that will expand its ability to store more food, stock inventory of packaging materials and stage food drives. EFP packs and distributes distinct, ethnically sensitive and nutritionally focused bags of non-perishable foods for those in immediate hunger by collaborating with over 200 distributor partners throughout King County. Last year, EFP and their partners packed and delivered over 20,000 bags of food serving over 45,000 people in the Puget Sound region.

SKAGIT — A special funding grant of $17,000 was granted to Community Action Agency of Skagit County, the fiscal agent for Skagit Project Homeless Connect (PHC). PHC is an annual, oneday event that brings together, in a single location, a wide variety of volunteers and free services for homeless people. Direct services provided on site include: hot meals; medical and dental care; vision screening and eyeglass vouchers; haircuts; mental health assessments; substance abuse screening and housing referrals. The funds from ECF will cover the costs of the medical screenings, volunteer t-shirts with the ECF logo, intake forms and tent rentals for the service providers.

schools.

Between Jan. 1, 2014 and Oct. 10, 2015, there were 15 pedestrianinvolved traffic incidents in the city of Bothell. Of those, Woolverton said two were severe with many of the others being relatively minor accidents.

In Kenmore during the same period, there were more than ten pedestrian-involved crashes. After multiple pedestrian deaths in early 2014, the Kenmore City Council voted to enact a pedestrian version of the state-wide Target Zero initiative, focusing on eliminating pedestrian deaths in the city.

“As a community, we helped create a program.

Some policies and projects that we could do to increase safety,” Kenmore community relations manager Leslie Harris said.

So far in 2015, there has been only one death in Kenmore, after a bicyclist turned in front of a cement truck along the Burke-Gilman Trail in September. City manager Rob Karlinsey said he doesn’t know why the cyclist turned in front of the truck and the incident is still under investigation by the King County Sheriff ’s Office.

Similar to the Washington State Patrol’s Target Zero program, which focuses on traffic deaths in the state, Kenmore’s initiative focuses education, enforcement and engineering to tackle their problem. Bothell city officials said they also focus on these aspects to improve safety in their city.

City officials from both municipalities are also looking at future public transportation expansion by way of future Sound Transit development in the area, which could help reduce congestion by bringing more parkand-ride busses and infrastructure that would connect to the proposed light transit rail.

Even as officials are working to create safer roads for drivers and pedestrians, Bothell City Councilwoman Tris Samberg said the key is in changing people’s behavior.

“It lies in all of us to be aware of how our driving habits effect the quality of life in our neighborhoods,” she said.

Imagine walking down the street in broad daylight and having a constant fear that someone is going to stop you and do horrific things to you just because of your gender. Or that just because of your gender, you are thought of a lesser being and told to know your place in society.

This is a constant thing I struggle with just because I am a woman. Does being a woman make me less then everyone else? Does it make me incapable? Or is it simply being born a woman that makes it’s ok to be discriminated against?

Growing up, I was always told that I could be

ever they want to be when they grow up, however when they do gr ow up all that is taken from them. So please understand that if we want to make this world a better place we need to make serious changes that better this generation and the next.

Before I end I want to remind us all of a quote by Mahatma Gandhi, “You have to be the change you wish to see in the world.”

So let’s be that change and show the younger generation of females that this world isn’t as scary as it use to be, let’s be the generation that fights for people’s rights, let’s be the generation that makes things right and finally let’s all be the change in this world so no one is discriminated against. We can make this right, we can be the small pebble that causes a big ripple of change. We can do this.

said Allen.

The jury took two votes, with the first yielding only one juror voting ‘guilty,’ the second vote unanimously acquitted Thompson.

Allen told the press after the verdict that his client looks forward to going back to work at the Bothell Police Department.

An internal investigation was launched by the Bothell Police Department, but Thompson was cleared and will return to work on Nov. 9.

Thompson was accused of having sex with the girl, who is now a male, multiple times in a marked police car, which was allegedly an abuse of power court documents said.

people who do fight for women’s rights out there and for that I thank you.

But what I am trying to say is that women everywhere need help, our rights have been taken from us and we would like them back.

I want the next generation of girls to have better opportunities than I have.

I want them to be able to accomplish whatever they have their hearts and minds set on. So I need you to give every person no matter what gender, race, sexual orientation, religion they come from a chance to accomplish their dreams.

Overlook your automatic assumptions about what a woman is capable of vs. a man. Next time you instinctively presume, “she’s a woman, so she’s probably better off trying to be a nurse rather than a doctor.”

Or anything along those lines, rethink the common gender bias and think how you can help everyone. We tell kids they can be what-

I would be reminded that you have already heard this before. So that leaves me in this spot of frustration, if you tell me that you want women to be equal why leave these things out?

Why not make a change and help women out all over the world? I could talk about this fear that almost all women have of being alone. I don’t mean ending up alone what I mean is walking down the street alone or even with another person and being taken advantage of. This fear has been with most women all their life and constantly drilled into our heads, why? The answer is simple, because we are women. I among other women fear of being sexualy harrased because we have breasts.

Women shouldn’t have to be worried that if th ey have lack of clothing, people will sexualize them, and we shouldn’t be told that the way we dress is more important than our education. Let me say that again, women should not be told that their bodies and clothing are more important than their education. I really want to stress this to you, my education matters more to me than how I dress. I hate how women are constantly told that we need to go put on makeup, lose some weight, show some skin but also don’t show skin and pretty much be a whole different person.

To be completely honest I know there are some

According to the Department of Transportation, 11 teen drivers die everyday due to distracted driving. Distracted driving is the cause of 21 percent of accidents involving teen drivers. At any given time, approximately 660,000 drivers are attempting to use their cell phones while driving. Distracted driving is six times more likely to cause an accident than drunk driving, while teens are already four times more likely to get in an accident.

That makes every teen four times more likely to get in an accident if distracted than an adult. Being a teen driver, I get scared for my own life and others lives when I see people driving distracted be it on the highway, back roads, or in town.

Distracted driving is not limited to just your cell phone. It also includes putting on makeup, eating, drinking, talking to passengers, reading and adjusting your GPS, adjusting the radio station, changing the volume, and so many more. Distracted driving is as dangerous as being blindfolded while walking across a narrow log. Distracted driving is a problem because it is now the leading cause of teen deaths in the United States at more than 3,000 fatalities a year.

Among the 3,000 deaths, there are 300,000 injuries due to distracted driving.

Don’t text anyone while

anything I set my mind to, but that was a lie. I was constantly told to know my place, to let the boys take care of it, and most of all I was told that what I wanted to do was a man’s job. One example happened to me in grade school. I was a fifth grader at the time, barely even eleven and about the same height as I am now. I wanted to play flag football with all the guys at recess. There was maybe five of us girls and around fifteen scrawny boys on the grassy field that sat behind the school. We got put on teams and I clearly remember being the only girl on my team and thinking to myself, “I’m going to show these boys that I’m just as capable as they are.” Well, the first game came around and the team immediately benched me and had me stand on the sideline of the makeshift football field. I’m not going to lie, I was hurt but I had to keep a straight face so I could show them I was capable. They complained to the teachers that they didn’t want me on their team because I was a girl and I was going to slow them down. They didn’t want me on their team because I was a girl.

I could go on and on about how unfair some things are for women, but that wouldn’t do anything. I could talk about how unfair it is that women have to pay extra for skin care, hair products, or anything of that sort. I could talk about our pay is lower, but

Distracted driving kills 11 teen drivers a day

driving, don’t call anyone while driving, don’t use your phone while driving, don’t put makeup on while driving. I want us to be the generation that ends distracted driving. When you are in your car, put your cell phone down, get the volume on your music at the right level before you put your car in drive, keep your eyes on the road. If you get a text and it’s just that important, pull over and respond, don’t respond while you’re driving. This subject is important for teens in the United States because at some point in their lives, they will all drive. As a teen driver, I see people driving distracted every day and I can’t help but wonder what is more important than your own or another humans life.

said. “We work well together.”

And all that work may be paying off this year.

The Cougars are 6-1, with their eyes on post-season games beginning on Oct. 31.

“This is probably the best team we’ve had all four years,” said Quackenbush.

Both Quackenbush and Cornell have been playing football since they were kids, and said they’re happy to be back on the green.

The six work various jobs ranging from construction to staff at Harborview during the day, and coaching affords them a way to keep in touch with each other and their home town.

Quackenbush has a few reasons why he keeps coming back to coach.

“Being around with a great group of kids and just the coaching staff,” he said. “Throwing the balls around and being with my friends five days a week.”

But coaching isn’t only drills and practice, Haberkamp said.

It involves scheduling, organizing, dealing with and managing people and bureaucracies.

“I think they do a really good job of balancing those responsibilities,” he said.

Haberkamp also believes football is also

more than just a game to the junior athletes.

“It’s also the fact that you have to learn to work with 11 people on the field simultaneously, and everyone has to do their little job to get the big job done,” he said.

As the Cougars head into this year’s post season, both coaches and players seem optimistic for what the future holds, and soon both the players and coaches may be moving up to higher turf.

he said.

While the environmental impact of fiberglass may not be toxic or hazardous like other landfill-bound products, there are compelling reasons to look into recycling.

“What it really amounts to is just the sheer volume of it,” Englund said. “You start putting that kind of stuff into your landfills, and your landfill life starts going down faster and faster.”

Lilly’s reapplication process was patented in May, and he’s moving fast.

Once his processing plant is completed, it’s expected to create up to 250 jobs in the Bothell area.

Already, he said he’s talking with the federal Department of Energy about a contract, the Environmental Protection Agency about recycling credits and developers all across the world who want to use his materials, as well as sell their fiberglass to him.

Where his business really shines is in how Global Fiberglass Solutions acquires

their raw material, Lilly said.

When wind turbine blades are decommissioned, they are usually transported to a landfill as ‘oversized loads,’ where they are subject to transportation and dumping fees. Lilly buys these blades directly from the wind farms, where workers saw down the blades into easily-movable segments and moves them himself.

He only charges the company what their normal costs would be for disposing of the blades themselves, but there’s icing on the cake, too.

Global Fiberglass Solutions was certified as a WasteWise company by the

Environmental Protection Agency, so companies which sell their fiberglass to him receive recycling credits from the Environmental Protection Agency.

According to Washington Waste Management, large items like windmill blades take up valuable space in state landfills, many of which are projected to fill within the century.

Cost and environmental savings are two reasons Lilly believes clients were so interested in doing business with him, including many European corporations.

“We were not only surprised at how much interest they had, but they

started to jump on board right away,” he said.

Global Fiberglass composites may eventually help push other industry staples from their throne. In particular, steel and wood have been used as essential building materials, but Lilly says as companies utilize more and more fiberglass, the need for a recycling process becomes even more important.

He said some of his repurposed fiberglass composites are nearly as strong as steel at 19,000 poundsper-square-inch pressure ratings.

Finally, Lilly said he’s developed a mobile production platform, which can be driven anywhere in the country and can break down and process fiberglass, and then turn it into usable products, like subway ties, on the spot. Once processed and poured in a mold, the new products can be used within two hours.

“This is more than anyone has done anywhere,” he said.

Lilly’s business partner Weyant passed away earlier this year, and Lilly said their chemistry laid the foundation for their business’s success.

“We could get in a room and by the time we got out of there, we would have a pretty good idea of what the next steps would be,” he said.

As for teaching himself chemistry and engineering while launching an industry revolution, he had some thoughts on that as well: “We live in the day of the internet. There really isn’t anything you can’t learn if you put your mind to it.”
