We must be alert to drowsy driving Page 5

All Washington branches of fast food restaurant Chipotle voluntarily closed their doors last week as health officials investigated recent E. coli

cases, including six in King County, linked to the Mexican chain.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the number of people infected has risen from 19 to 29 in Washington, according to the Washington State

Department of Health.

Additionally, there are 10 more cases linked to the restaurant in Oregon, according to the Oregon Health Authority.

Several are hospitalized; no deaths have been reported.

Though only eight restaurants in Washington and Oregon are linked to the outbreak, Chipotle Communications Director Chris Arnold said

Tuesday, the company closed all Washington locations and all restaurants in the greater Portland, Oregon area.

Of the five Washington locations associated with the outbreak, the two closest are the Seattle locations at 1404 Broadway Ave. and 4229 University Way N.E. There are also locations in Vancouver, SEE CHIPOTLE, 7

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.

Issaquah City Council President Paul Winterstein and council candidate Bill Ramos were ahead in initial election results Tuesday night, with Ramos taking a commanding lead and Winterstein facing a tighter squeeze.

Ramos, a self-employed traffic consultant and longtime human services commissioner — he currently serves as chair — kissed his wife and handed out a long series of hugs as he heard the results at a joint election party Tuesday night for himself, Winterstein and Jennifer Sutton, who ran unopposed for council.

Mayor Vance behind in Sammamish Council race

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The three candidates who raised the most money in this year’s Sammamish City Council election are leading in their respective council races, according to election results released Wednesday.

The three, Tom Hornish, Position 6; incumbent councilor Ramiro Valderrama-Aramayo, Position 4; and

Christie Malchow, Position 2, formed a tight alliance during the race and collectively, raised more than $39,000, according to the Public Disclosure Commission.

After King County released initial election results Tuesday evening, Sammamish Mayor Tom Vance was holding out “faint hope” that he could pull ahead against Hornish, a firsttime council candidate.

As of Wednesday evening, Vance

was up less than a full percentage from Tuesday’s results but still trails 45.66 percent to Hornish’s 54.97 percent, with 6,047 votes counted so far.

“It would take a huge change to make a dent in this,” Vance said before Wednesday’s results were in. “This has been a really strange election.”

He said he knows many people who voted within the last week, even up until the Nov. 3 deadline.

After those votes are tallied, “we’ll

have to live with the results,” he said.

Hornish raised more than $4,300, more than five times more than opponent Vance.

Vance has been the Sammamish mayor for almost two years; this was his first term on the City Council.

In Position 2, Malchow raised $5,500 more than her opponent, former Councilmember Mark Cross.

Fedigan gets six years Drunk driver sentenced for deaths and injuries to family; enhancements for release violations

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

On Friday, a King County judge sentenced a Sammamish woman who drove through her lakefront home and killed two family members in 2014 to more than six years in prison.

Carol Fedigan, 69, was sentenced to six years and one month for two counts of vehicular homicide, and one count each of vehicular assault, driving under the influence and reckless endangerment.

A car containing two 17-year-old girls rolled over and landed in East Fork Issaquah Creek near Sunset Way on Monday.

She pleaded guilty to each charge July 30, according to Dan Donahoe of the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office.

Judge John Chun also gave Fedigan more than a year of supervised community custody for violating her July release terms when Fedigan consumed alcohol in early October.

In May 2014, Fedigan mixed wine and the sleep aid Ambien before moving her SUV back into the driveway of her Lake Sammamish home, according to court documents.

With her 3-year-old grandson in her lap, Fedigan mistook the accelerator for the brake and drove through her home, killing her husband and son-in-law and seriously injuring her daughter, according to court documents.

Fedigan and her grandson were not harmed.

Two 17-year-old girls sustained minor injuries in a one-car rollover accident at Interstate 90 and Sunset Way Monday afternoon.

The car was traveling westbound on I-90 when it left the roadway, rolling over and landing in East Fork Issaquah Creek.

A trooper with Washington State Patrol responded to the scene of the accident.

Patrol spokesman Chris Webb initially reported the driver was critically injured.

No power, no cell, kids in school — now what? Best Starts faces

close finish

Sammamish participates in citywide emergency preparedness drill Oct. 31

BY MEGAN CAMPBELL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Picture this: The power’s out, cell phone towers are down, the kids are still in school and it’s dangerous to drive on the roads.

Now what?

Sammamish Citizen Corps’ leaders want residents to start thinking about “what if ” circumstances like this one, in order to prepare for emergency situations.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

“Then you’re more comfortable or familiar going forward,” Sammamish Citizen Corps information hub coordinator Barb Clayton said.

On Saturday, Clayton led an information hub exercise from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. throughout the city to practice emergency operations.

By dividing the city into 11 zones, information hubs are central locations within those zones. In case of a disaster, citizens can go to their zone’s

site for information, resources and to communicate with the city.

“People in a disaster typically don’t have a lot of information,” Sammamish Deputy City Manager Lyman Howard said.

The city partners with the citizen corps, a nonprofit organization, to provide outreach activities and education about emergency preparedness for residents.

“The community needs to have places to go (in a disaster),” Sammamish Citizen Corps President Kent T. Kierman said.

Currently, the local citizen corps has established eight information hubs in the city.

The citizen corps established the information hubs system in 2013, which is based on West Seattle’s Emergency Communications Hubs. Organizers began hub practices in 2014.

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.

King County’s Best Starts For Kids levy — a proposition seeking property tax funding for early intervention youth health programs — opened election night Tuesday with approval.

However, that approval was decidedly slim, with only 52.57 percent of voters giving their support — by 4:21 p.m. Wednesday, that share had risen to 53.34 percent. King County Elections will continue to count ballots until results are certified Nov. 24.

Best Starts For Kids proposed a six-year levy at $0.14 per $1,000 of assessed valuation on King County properties. That money would be appropriated for use in health programs focusing on youth, with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention.

Fifty percent of the revenue would be used for children younger than five; 35 percent would be used on children and young adults aged 5 to 24, with emphasis on depression and substance abuse programs; 10 percent would be invested in community programs and 5 percent would be invested in evaluating programs’ efficacy through data benchmarks.

The Issaquah City Council endorsed Best Starts for Kids by a divisive 4-3 vote in October.

Issaquah utility rates to rise

established a new “large user” category of customer for customers with capacity to use 200 ccf — 1 ccf being a measurement of water volume equivalent to 748 gallons — or more in a fiscal year.

Most of Issaquah’s water is supplied through city-owned wells, but the city purchases water from Cascade Water Alliance to serve the Issaquah Highlands and Talus neighborhoods.

Councilor Nina Milligan, a Highlands resident, noted that failing to increase water rates could become problematic if Cascade raised its prices over the next five years.

“If we don’t increase our rates to our ratepayers, we suffer from a deficit,” she said.

Sewer rates are set to see an increase of 6 percent in both 2016 and 2017, and increases of 5.5 percent each of the three subsequent years.

Stormwater rates are set to see a 5 percent increase in 2016, a 4 percent increase in 2017, 3.5 percent increases in 2018 and 2019 and a 3 percent increase in 2020.

The rate changes arrive after the city adopted a policy to evaluate utility rate revenue every five years. The recommendations for the rate increases from 2016 to 2020 came from an evaluation by HDR Inc.

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Issaquah residents can expect their utility rates to increase in 2016 — and each year through 2020.

The Issaquah City Council was asked to consider increases to the city’s water, sewer and stormwater rates Monday night and authorized increases to each in separate 6-1 votes.

Issaquah Councilmember Joshua Schaer voted against each increase, citing added cost burdens to utility customers.

“Whatever you want to call it … it’s taking money out of people’s pockets,” Schaer said.

It’s been several years since any of the three utilities have seen an increase, with sewer rates going the longest period of time without an increase. Sewer rates were last increased in 2002; stormwater and water rates were last increased in 2008 and 2012, respectively. The ordinances for sewer and stormwater rates noted double-digit increases to the Consumer Price Index since they were last raised.

Water rates are set to see a general increase of 6 percent in 2016, an increase of 5.5 percent each of the three years following and an increase of 3.5 percent in 2020. The ordinance passed Monday also

Elevator conversations help teachers, kids

A

n elevator conversation can be a great way to help your kids succeed in school. It’s a simple way to focus on your kids rather than the shiny new ideas about testing and teacher accountability.

Few of this season’s shiny new educational ideas are likely to benefit kids who are in school right now.

Some, like the ill-conceived WASL, will go down in flames, some will quietly disappear and a few might actually help.

Meanwhile, your kids will march off to school to be taught in a classroom by a teacher. That hasn’t changed, and probably won’t in the near future. A few elevator conversations can make an end-run around all the shiny new ideas that may or may not work.

Great education comes out of relationships. You are busy. You probably have a demanding job, or maybe a couple of them. Teachers are busy, too. A high school teacher with a hundred English students will have a hard time getting to know every student. Yet that teacher shares your deepest concern. She wants your kid

to get the best, most empowering education possible.

If you were to meet that teacher in an elevator you could say, “Hi, I’m Joe Smith’s dad. He says you are an interesting teacher.”

The teacher will be encouraged and will probably respond with STEFAN ULSTEIN something like, “He’s an interesting guy. I’m looking forward to working with him.”

The elevator door opens and you step out. But in those few seconds you have made a connection. You have shown the teacher that Joe has a dad who cares. You have demonstrated your support. She now sees Joe as a member of a family rather than a face among many.

Now, think of the e-mail elevator conversation. I once wrote, “Ji-won wrote a great essay on Kohlberg’s stages of moral reasoning in Huck Finn. You might enjoy reading it. I sure did.” That took me eight seconds to write. Her mom replied,

“Thanks. I will check it out.” Four seconds. Neither of us had invested much time or energy but Ji-won came to school the next day knowing that we were all on her side.

I get scores of e-mails every day and many of them are what my Microsoft friend calls TLDNR: “Too long, did not read.” I can kiss away an hour of my day by composing equally detailed replies.

A short, civil note is a breath of fresh air. If we have had a couple of friendly interchanges I am ready for a polite question like, “Liam is having a hard time understanding why his essay is considered plagiarized.

Any suggestions?” Now we can tackle a difficult issue as friends.

We all do our best, most creative work when we feel supported and safe. When we are off-balance, or afraid of somebody attacking us, the orbitofrontal cortex is compromised.

We go into the fight, flight or freeze mode.

A few elevator conversations can put us on the same side. Suspicion and fear diminish. We spend our

numerous times, provided our input through public process with the same result: citizen input is ignored.

When the table is not controlled by developers, businesses or local governments that advocate for “customers” over “citizens,” we might achieve dialogue on how to preserve the

dynamic culture we have and grow in a way that is inclusive of the diversity and people that will be living here long after developers, businesses and part-time leaders move on to their next conquest.

Nationwide, drowsy drivers have caused 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries and more than 100,000 accidents each year.

A reasonable person would never drive a car when drunk. But many

people will drive when they are too tired. There is no difference between being drunk or tired when you are behind the wheel.

A study by researchers in Australia showed that being awake for 18 hours produced an impairment equal to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.05, and 0.10 after 24 hours; 0.08 is considered legally drunk in Washington state.

We tend to ignore statistics of drowsy driving injuries and deaths. We think ‘That will never happen to me’. Sadly, my daughter, Mora Shaw, was one of

DIA seeks volunteers for downtown holiday lights

Oct. 27

The Downtown Issaquah Association is seeking volunteers to string seasonal holiday lights along the Front Street downtown core of Olde Town on Nov. 21.

The lights will decorate Front Street’s streetlights and businesses to reflect the winter holidays.

The work party will take place 10 a.m. to noon.

Volunteers will meet 9 a.m. at the historic Shell Station on 232 Front Street.

Flying Pie Pizza will donate pizzas for refreshment after the work party.

STRUCK: An officer contacted a woman who reported that, at 12:23 p.m. near the intersection of Newport Way Northwest and Northwest Maple Street, a car entered her lane, struck and damaged the left rear of her vehicle.

She said the car did not stop after the collision.

HIP, HOP, YOU DON’T STOP: An officer contacted a man who reported that, at 3:59 p.m. on the 1000 block of Northwest Gilman Boulevard, an unknown person jumped up and down on his bumper, causing the vehicle to rock. The man said he thought the person was asked by his ex to harass him.

ASSAULT: At 6:26 p.m. on the 800 block of Front Street South, a 46-year-old Everett man was arrested for assault in the fourth degree.

NOT A VAULT, PEOPLE: At 7:17 p.m. on the 5700 block of East Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast, $1,746 of items were reported stolen from a Honda Civic. They included a computer, backpack and its contents.

She and my family know first-hand the pain and suffering caused by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel of a car after being awake for over 20 hours. Nine years ago, Mora, then a 17-year-old Issaquah high graduate, was nearly killed as a result of driver who fell asleep at the wheel while driving over Blewett Pass.

Suffering serious multiple fractures and a two-week coma, Mora barely survived. She spent years in recovery.

penalties. Every Washington driver, every legislator and every judge need to understand the widespread seriousness of drowsy driving. Their attitudes and our laws about it need to change.

Drowsy driving kills, injures and shatters lives just the same as drunk drivers do. Ask the family and friends of those lost or injured this year.

Just ask my daughter.

Just ask me.

Gov. Jay Inslee has proclaimed Nov. 1-8 as Washington State’s Drowsy Driving Prevention Week.

During the busy holiday season, we urge all drivers to be aware of their fatigue before getting behind the wheel of a car. Get some rest and save a life.

North Bend man brandishes Man dies in Little Si fall Airsoft gun on Interstate 90

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

State troopers booked a 47-year-old North Bend man into King County Jail for unlawful display of a firearm after he allegedly brandished a handgun while driving on westbound Interstate 90 near Issaquah.

The incident occurred during an unspecified road rage dispute between the suspect and another motorist. The suspect allegedly showed the other motorist what appeared to be a black revolver.

The incident was reported and Washington State Patrol stopped the suspect’s 1993 Dodge van on I-90 near Bellevue Way.

Consumer packaged goods marketing and sales agency Acosta has named a new president to its Costco division.

Frank Cohenour was announced as president of Issaquah-based ADWIAcosta on Tuesday.

The King County Sheriff ’s office is reporting that a 63-year-old Renton man was killed Monday night, Nov. 2, after falling during a hike on Little Si. At about 7:55 p.m. Monday, the office received a call from a man who told the dispatcher that he fell off of a trail and was injured. He was disoriented and not sure where he was.

The dispatcher was able to determine his location as the Little Si area. King County Search and Rescue members responded and found the man about 2 miles up the mountain and off the trail

about 300 feet. The area was described as very steep requiring technical rescuers to get to his location.

When rescuers contacted him he was unresponsive. They performed CPR until Eastside Fire and King County Medics arrived.

Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful.

The King County Sheriff ’s Office Search and Rescue Duty officer said 33 volunteer search and rescue members from Seattle Mountain Rescue and King County Explorer Search and Rescue responded to find the man and eventually bring him off the mountain.

CHIPOTLE

Out of the 25 reported in Washington, 23 reported eating at Chipotle in the last couple of weeks, leading officials to believe the outbreak is connected to the food chain.

“This is the early stages of the investigation,” Karasz said. “If you ate at Chipotle in the last couple weeks and you feel ill you should call us or your doctor.”

The type of E. coli strain in this outbreak has not been confirmed, but it is a Shiga toxin-producing strain similar to E. coli O157:H7, according to Karasz. Symptoms include bloody diarrhea, abdominal cramps, fever and vomiting.

“It can sometimes result in severe, life-threatening illness and death,” Karasz wrote in a Public Health statement. “In general, anyone with bloody diarrhea should see a health care provider.”

Local and state health officials in Washington and Oregon are working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Washington State Department of Agriculture and U.S. Centers for Disease Control ortheconstipated? and Prevention to investigate the outbreak.

Investigating troopers discovered the gun was an Airsoft pellet replica of a Smith and Wesson gun. Such guns shoot plastic pellets via compressed air.

Laliberte overtakes Pendergrass

BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Preliminary results in the Lake Washington School District board race are showing that challenger Eric Laliberte has overtaken 20-year incumbent Jackie Pendergrass.

Laliberte was leading with 58.17 percent of the vote in a race that has seen 21,293 votes counted so far.

But two-term incumbent Chris Carlson was leading with 67.79 percent of the vote over challenger Rob Tepper in a race that has seen 20,505 votes counted so far.

Incumbent Siri Bliesner ran unopposed

and took 98.97 percent of the vote against write-in ballots.

Meanwhile, in the Issaquah School District board race, three unopposed candidates handily took their seats with each receiving more than 99 percent of the vote.

Harlan Gallison, previously of the Peninsula school board, won the seat vacated by Brian Deagle and incumbents Anne Moore and Suzanne Weaver each will retake their seats on the board.

ISS COUNCIL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

of the vote in a race that’s seen 3,953 votes counted so far. Flood ran on a cautious development campaign that sought to take care of infrastructure projects in Issaquah’s outlying neighborhoods before building up the Central Issaquah core.

Winterstein faced a tighter squeeze, with 54.58 percent of the votes in his race against Christopher Reh in a race that has seen 3,854 votes counted so far. Reh joined Flood in urging slower development and, at the first council candidate forum of the election season, asserted that Issaquah needed a change.

The morning after election night, Reh said he was happy with the results.

“I’m quite honestly ecstatic,” he said. “I got into this race late, running against the sitting council president. To get those numbers under those circumstances, I’m very happy and I got out the message I wanted to get out. And I think voters responded to it.”

Reh added that, while he viewed a chance for the race to turn as more ballots are turned in as “a long shot,” he still had some optimism.

Speaking in front of a crowd of supporters — and a who’s who of incumbents, including Mayor Fred Butler and councilors Tola

“it’s too close to me right now to have any kind of perspective.”

Vance said he received many phone calls in the last week or so from citizens looking for some clarity about the candidate’s various platforms and who was supporting what issues.

“There’s a lot of confusion out there,” he said. “I blame myself to some degree.”

Hornish was still grappling Wednesday morning with the reality of potentially winning Vance’s seat. “Oh gosh, here we go,” he said.

His main priority will be improving communication between the city and its residents.

“That’s what I want to bring to the council more than anything else,” he said.

“There’s a big difference between just talking and actually communicating.”

In Position 4, Valderrama-

Marts, Nina Milligan, Eileen Barber and Stacy Goodman — inside the Issaquah Rogue Brewhouse before results were posted, Winterstein thanked all the volunteers who contributed to his campaign, including Essie Hicks, Goodman, Marts — “a real thinker,” Winterstein said — his wife and voters.

“There is a real majority of people who enjoy and make Issaquah a part of their identity,” Winterstein said. “... I’ll either be disappointed or a lot relieved that election season is over.”

In addition to thanking his campaign volunteers, Ramos thanked firefighters union Local 2878 for their support in his campaign. Ramos said he relied on doorbelling to get out the vote, including “strange hills where people lived behind 100-yard driveways.”

“I remember when it was 90 degrees out and I was knocking on doors, coming home tired but exhilarated,” Ramos said in pre-result remarks. “All the way until it was 50 degrees out and I was knocking on doors, coming home tired and wet, but still exhilarated.”

These results reflect ballots counted as of 4:21 p.m. Wednesday. King County Elections will continue to be updated until they are certified Nov. 24.

Aramayo, who was essentially running unopposed, earned 83.24 percent of the vote, with 5,886 votes tallied as of Wednesday. His opponent, Hank Klein, received 16.32 percent.

Valderrama-Aramayo was surprised by Klein’s low vote total, considering some people were leading a threeweek doorbelling campaign for Klein, he said.

Klein dropped out of the race several months ago and has reportedly not collected any contributions, according the PDC. Valderrama-Aramayo raised the most out of the five running candidates, more than $13,500, during the campaign season.

However, he was not surprised to see Malchow and Hornish ahead in their races.

zens to be heard,” he said.

These candidates ran on the issues of improved communications and transparency.

With the three of them, Valderrama-Aramayo suspects the council will slow down on policy changes and will spend more time in review and in gathering citizen input.

“All the council members will have to be more receptive now,” he said. “We’re not here to rubber stamp what the city wants done. We will take our time and deliberate.”

Hard-hitting linebacker plays fast on the gridiron

BY SHAUN SCOTT

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastlake Wolves senior inside linebacker John Monahan may not be the biggest player on the field, but he packs a powerful punch.

Monahan, in his second season as the Wolves starting inside linebacker, weighs just 165 pounds.

But his size doesn’t stop him from unleashing bone-rattling hits on opposing teams’ offensive players. Monahan said size isn’t a prerequisite in order to be a proficient player on defense.

“Speed kills, man. I feel like a lot of guys on our team are undersized. Most of us are only 5 feet, 9 [inches] or 5 feet, 10 [inches] and only weigh about 170 but we are running around making hits and are stopping teams,” Monahan said. “Our speed of play in practice leads to big hits. We just run through people.”

The Wolves put together an overall record of 5-4 during the 2015 regular season. Monahan said Eastlake head coach Don Bartel has cultivated a culture of camaraderie that permeates the school’s football program.

“Bartel is a leadership teacher at Eastlake,” Monahan said. “He really emphasizes family. We have a great senior class who brings our entire team together and really includes the young guys.”

Recently the Issaquah/Sammamish Reporter had an opportunity to ask Monahan a few ques-

tions about his life away from the football field.

Issaquah Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

John Monahan: “Interstellar.” I love Matthew McConaughey. He is one of my favorite actors.

IR: What is your biggest pet peeve?

JM: Two-faced people.

IR: How many text messages do you send per day?

JM: I probably send like 20. I’m calling people all the time.

IR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

JM: I like to do yoga. They have an elective class at Eastlake called walking and yoga. My teacher Mrs. Agnew really got me hooked on it.

IR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2016?

JM: The New England Patriots. They are looking too good right now.

IR: What is your favorite eatery in Sammamish?

JM: I got to say I like to go to Jack in The Box. They got breakfast all day. I like the burgers and curly fries. It is pretty filling.

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.

Is Boeing the largest building on earth?

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.

The Boeing Factory employees 100,000 people.

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.

The weather cleared when an aircirculation system was installed.

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.

Boeing employs more than 165,000 people worldwide.

TRUE. Their workforce is a combined total from within the United States and in more than 65 countries.

The have the largest mural in the world.

TRUE. According to Guinness World Records, the mural on the six factory doors is the largest digital graphic in the world.

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.

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 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.”

mercial Airplanes president and CEO. Empowering local young people is part of Boeing’s long-standing commitment to giving back to the communities where employees live and work.

“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.”

During each of the eight regular season games at CenturyLink Field in Se-

attle, 25 young people each will receive four game tickets and the opportunity to meet a former Seahawks player. They also are given concession vouchers and a Legion of Youth Powered by Boeing sweatshirt while at the game.

“Legion of Youth is an outstanding program that recognizes students who make positive contributions in the classroom and in the community,” Seahawks President Peter McLoughlin said. “We are pleased to partner with Boeing to provide tickets for deserving youth to be among the 12s on game day at CenturyLink Field.”

The Seahawks and Boeing select the community groups that receive the tickets.

This year’s recipients are: ■ Athletes for Kids ■ Boys and Girls Clubs of Bellevue ■ Boys and Girls Clubs of Snohomish County ■ Girl Scouts of Western Washington ■ Seattle Youth Violence Prevention Initiative ■ Washington Aerospace Scholars ■ WA National Guard Child & Youth Program ■ YMCA of Greater Seattle

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

SEATTLE — Mary’s Place Seattle was provided $15,000 by Boeing employees for new refrigerators and freezers at their Day Center for homeless women. Mary’s Place empowers homeless women and children to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope. The new freezers and refrigerators replace inadequate equipment and will help Mary’s Place continue to serve its patrons at the Day Shelter and the Night Shelters, and increase their reach to potentially support additional night shelters.

$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.

Skyline conquers Eastlake

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

An opportunistic defense unveiled by the Skyline Spartans in the second half made all the difference against the Eastlake Wolves Oct. 30 on Eastlake’s home turf.

It was the final regular season game of the 2015 football season for two schools separated by a mere 1.5 miles.

Skyline scored 21 points off of three Eastlake turnovers in the second half, turning a two-point lead at halftime (1614) into a convincing 37-21 win.

Skyline improved to 8-1 with the win while Eastlake dropped to 5-4 overall.

The loss eliminated Eastlake from playoff contention.

Skyline defensive stalwart PJ Cox stripped an Eastlake ballcarrier of the ball before rumbling for an 86-yard fumble return for a touchdown, extending Skyline’s lead to 37-14 with 6:39 left in regulation.

Skyline’s “never say die� mantra was evident not only against Eastlake but throughout the season thus far. “It really comes down to not quitting on any plays and doing your job on every play,� Cox said. “I can’t give enough credit to our D-line. They stepped up in the second half. We brought it in the second half and that is what it came down to.�

Skyline head coach Mat Taylor was awestruck by Cox’s signature play. “I don’t think I have ever seen anything like that where someone rips the ball away from somebody out of a pile and just goes,� Taylor said with a smile. “You see it on TV sometimes, but I had never saw it on a team I have coached before.

That was fun.�

In the second half, Skyline’s Matt Cindric and Colin Huber recovered two Eastlake fumbles.

On each ensuing offensive possession, the Spartans found paydirt on two Blake Gregory touchdown strikes to Huber extending the lead to 30-14.

Gregory finished the game with four touchdown passes and no interceptions.

The senior signal caller connected with Jake Pendergast and Danny Sinatro on touchdown tosses in the first half of play.

While Gregory said the Spartans are pleased with capturing the Class 4A KingCo regular season title (clinched with win against Inglemoor on Oct. 23), they are looking forward to the challeng-

es awaiting them in the postseason.

The Spartans will host the Beamer Titans in a winner-to-state, loser-out playoff game at Skyline High School in Sammamish Nov. 6 at 7 p.m. “This season has been great so far,�

Gregory said. “Every week we just talk about going 1-0. That is the goal for next week too. It feels great right now being KingCo champs but there is so much more to build on and so much more we want to accomplish.�

Eastlake head coach Don Bartel remained upbeat despite the loss to the Spartans which dashed his team’s playoff aspirations. “The reality is we wanted to see our kids play together, wanted to see them play hard and wanted to see them respond to the challenge,� Bartel said. “That was the big thing this week and they did it. I loved everything about that.

We showed an evolution and we showed progress. We superseded any sort of expectations that we had at the beginning of the year. We got a great group of guys.

That is a brotherhood right there. We’re 5-3 [in league] and looking at it from the outside right now, but I will tell you being on the inside of it with this team feels better than seasons where we had better records and different results.�

Eastlake quarterback Mark Whitley accounted for all three of his team’s touchdowns against Skyline.

Whitley had two scores on the ground (27-yard run, 24-yard touchdown run) and had a 30-yard touchdown to Parker Lester in the second quarter.

Bartel got emotional when asked about how much he will miss Whitley running the show under center for the Wolves. “There are kids that come along once in a while that make your jaw drop because they just earn everything. I walked up to Mark Whitley when he was a sophomore and I first got here (Bartel took the Eastlake job in 2013) and said to him, ‘We might need you to play some quarterback. It won’t last long but we might need you to fill in.’ Now here we are three years later and there was a point in the season where we thought Mark might be the best quarterback (in the KingCo League) because nobody can run and throw like he can, nobody.�

Bryant, of Bellevue, coordinates the Eastside branch and is the education chair on the Central Puget Sound board of directors.

Previously, Eastside members, who are clumped into the Central Puget Sound WA Native Plant Society chapter, only had the option of meeting in Seattle.

The Central Puget Sound chapter, established in 1976, is the largest chapter, with more than 900 members, according to the organization’s website.

About two years ago Bryant began organizing the Eastside branch.

“We kind of rotated between libraries (for meeting spaces),” Jan Bird, of Sammamish, said.

Bird, a WA Native Plant Society member, has been part of the Eastside group trying to establish the branch.

Recently, the group began partnering with the Bellevue Botanical Garden located off Main Street in

difficult-to-recycle packaging and products to repurpose the material into affordable products.

Cascade Ridge participates in two of 30 programs TerraCycle offers, according to the elementary school’s Dean of Students Jennifer Sehlin.

Since signing up last year, the school has recycled 2,862 apple sauce pouches through the GoGo squeeZ Brigade, she said.

“The school is among the top GoGo squeeZ collectors of 2015, having collected 1,257 this year,” according to a TerraCycle press release.

Through the company’s Drink Pouch Brigade, the school has also recycled more than 18,000 aluminum and plastic drink pouches, Sehlin said.

“Just getting those pouches out of the landfill is amazing,” Sehlin said.

“TerraCycle specifically has been a good way to support our sustainable practices.”

Cascade Ridge, along with the other 24 schools in the Issaquah School District, participate in King County’s Green Schools Program.

The four-level program provides schools in King County with the knowledge and support necessary to initiate and expand green practices, like waste reduction and recycling.

The Cascade Ridge green team,

Bellevue.

In exchange for using the garden’s Aaron Education Center, members volunteer in the garden.

The Eastside branch meets about three times a year.

The WA Native Plant Society’s members have all levels of botanical knowledge, from professionals to experienced amateur botanists and beginners.

For more than 35 years, the society, a nonprofit organization, has educated members and the public on the value of native plants in Washington.

Through the society’s Native Plant Stewardship program, a free 10-week educational course, many Eastside cities have benefitted from the program’s graduates.

As a way to repay that training, stewards commit time to specific projects.

For example, in February, stewards were on-site in Sammamish helping volunteers identify invasive plants to remove and provided additional information on native shrubs and

trees.

The Eastside branch last met Oct. 22 to hear from mushroom expert Daniel Winkler.

He spoke to more than 60 people about mushrooms’ favorite hideouts, their fruiting time and the best ways to enjoy them.

Of those 60, nearly all said they lived on the Eastside.

Winkler included photos and stories from his time researching the fungi in Tibet, the Amazon, Colombia and the European Alps.

The next Eastside branch meeting at the Bellevue Botanical Garden is Jan. 13, 2016 at 7:30 p.m.

The botanical garden is located at 12001 Main St., Bellevue.

Refreshments will be available at 7 p.m.

For more information on the Eastside WA Native Plant Society branch, visit www.wnps.org/cps/ or call 206-527-3210.

Upcoming meeting: The Eastside Washington Native Plant Society next meets at the Bellevue Botanical Garden Jan. 13, 2016 at 7:30. Ethnobotanist Heidi Bohan will give a presentation on the relationship between humans and plants, specifically how cultures use plants for things like food, shelter, clothing, transportation, medicine and spirituality.

The botanical garden is located at 12001 Main St., Bellevue.

Refreshments will be available at 7 p.m.

made up of third-, fourth- and fifthgrade students, help other students implement such practices on campus.

These same students also help man the bins during the lunch hour, helping their peers sort trash from recyclable materials.

“It’s been a cool program,” Sehlin said. “The kids are really into it.”

This year, there are around 100 children who signed up for the green team and to volunteer during lunch.

For every piece of waste recycled and delivered to TerraCycle, the school earns redeemable points, which can be donated to a charity of its choice or the school.

Nationally, participants recycled 1.4 million squeezable drink pouches and caps and raised more than $30,000 for schools and nonprofit organizations, according to a TerraCycle press release.

So far, Cascade Ridge’s account shows a $300 balance, Sehlin said.

Sehlin said the school hasn’t decided what to do with it yet.

Last year, the school used some of the money to buy pencil pouches for the green team volunteers.

resources and can send messages via the radio to the city’s emergency operations center.

Typically, the city’s operations center is based in the executive briefing room, just to the left when using the main entrance to the Sammamish City Hall.

It’s “hardened” to withstand a major earthquake, fitted with several television screens, large, wallsized maps of Sammamish — and in the event of a major disaster, it’s where a Sammamish administrative staff would run a base of operations.

The city manager or deputy city manager would take command during the operation, which would be active 24 hours a day during a disaster.

It’s not activated often.

Howard said the city has had the most practice with it during power outages.

The city would coordinate with Sammamish Police and Eastside Fire & Rescue and the city’s two water and sewer districts.

For example, during a significant storm, the city would have public work crews out working on transportation-related issues, like redirecting traffic due to a downed tree.

During a more significant disaster, the city would coordinate with King County’s Emergency Operations Center, and the county would communicate with the state, which

skills their neighbors have, which might come in handy in an emergency, and to create a log of resources the community might already have, like a generator.

Kierman and Clayton define a disaster as “anything that overwhelms a 911 dispatch.”

And when one hits, it can save lives and reduce property damage if people are prepared.

The city has seen several storms in the past decade that have shut down normal operations.

In 2006, a November snowstorm knocked out power for several days and “crippled” the city, Kierman said.

In 2008, a milder storm, according to past news reports, still left stores stripped of products like cable chains, windshield wiper fluid, propane tanks and antifreeze. Even the gas stations ran dry.

“Those kind of things are what you practice for,” he said. “If you’ve ever been in a grocery store in a disaster there are certain shelves that are gone pretty quick.”

Items like water and batteries were among the first to disappear, he said.

Information hubs, manned by a HAM radio operator and hub host, help community members get information on available

Sammamish Citizen Corp information hub coordinator Barb Clayton hands out candy during the Oct. 31 emergency preparedness exercise to Diva Kannan, 4, in a Baby Bop costume and her brother Ashwin Kannan, 8, while their mother, Uma Subramanian, and their father, not pictured, look on at Sammamish City Hall.

make sure their generators were running and they had necessary supplies, like fuel and water. This “blew their minds,” Howard said.

And if City Hall failed, staff would base its operations in the city’s maintenance and operation center off 244th Avenue.

In June 2016, along with the city, the citizen corps will participate in the Cascadia Rising exercise. The organization, joining what is expected to be a national-level exercise, will run a 12-hour test of emergency operations and information hubs.

The exercise helps prepare organizations and improve their joint operational readiness in the case of a 9.0 earthquake along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which runs from southern British Columbia to northern California.
