Mayor proposes moving transit center to Rainier and Grady Plan would use Sound Transit money to move transportation hub out of downtown core BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

Mayor Denis Law is exploring with regional officials the idea of relocating the Metro Transit Center from downtown Renton in a move he says would enhance the city’s – and region’s – transportation system. His destination is 8.3 acres at a gateway to Renton, the intersection of Rainier Avenue South and Grady Way on the former site of the Sound Ford dealership. The land is currently empty and has been on the market for many years.

But to get from the transit center on Burnett Avenue to the one on Rainier Avenue could take years. Law first must build consensus for the idea – initially the reaction is favorable, he said – and then work with Sound Transit and other government agencies on how to finance buying the land and designing and building a transit center, mostly a 1,500- to 2,000-stall parking garage. There’s already a Metro park-and-ride lot next door that could be expanded. Law has been promoting his idea since October, when the idea came to him one night while he was lying awake.

Law said he is motivated by providing better access to public transportation for his residents and those living on West Hill and in Fairwood and North Kent and for the city’s business community. “We want better access to buses and the transportation system for our citizens and to serve our businesses,” Law said. The new location is on a major transportation corridor at the intersection of two freeways and is close to major employment centers and the Tukwila Sounder Station. It could be served by Metro Transit’s popular F Line and bus rapid transit. Renton has already spent millions of dol-

lars to improve Southwest 27th Street, a key access point to the Sounder Station. “It made sense to make this our hub for the city,” said Law of the Valley floor in south Renton. And the city is moving forward with several initiatives to create more jobs and places to live in a pedestrian-oriented downtown, Law said. While the city will continue with those initiatives if the transit center remains, heavy bus traffic isn’t compatible with them, Law said. Through regulations and ordinances, the city is addressing issues of bad behavior and crime in or near the current transit center. The city is studying returning to two-way traffic on South Third and South [ more TRANSIT page 4 ]

One dead in North Renton house fire BY BRIAN BECKLEY

Renton rallies for the Hawks! Hundreds of fans showed up for a send-off rally Friday at Renton City Hall, hungry for a victory in the Seahawks’ wild-card playoff victory against the Minnesota Vikings. They were well-fed, with the Hawks beating Minnesota 10-9 when the Viking’s kicker missed a last-minute field goal to win the game. Next up, the Carolina Panthers. DEAN A. RADFORD, Renton Reporter

One person died during a two-alarm fire in North Renton this weekend. The fire is still under investigation. According to Renton Fire Department Deputy Chief Erik Wallgren, firefighters were called to a structure fire in the 300 block of Factory Avenue North at about 9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 8. Firefighters arrived at the two-story residence to find the building fully engulfed and upgraded the fire to a second alarm to protect the exposed buildings on either side. Wallgren said the fire proved challenging because structural stability of the home had been compromised because of the amount of fire. As firefighters tried to enter, they noted the stairwell from the first to second floor had burned away, making it too risky to enter. Firefighters had to work off a ladder truck platform to put water on the flames from above and through exterior windows. After the fire was knocked down, firefighters were able to enter the residence and discovered the victim on the second floor. According to police, the victim was a white male in his mid-50s. His name has not yet been released. The fire investigation has been turned over to Renton Police. On a high note, firefighters were able to [ more FIRE page 5 ]

Inauguration Day at the Talbot Hill Microsociety BY LEAH ABRAHAM labraham@rentonreporter.com

The Talbot Hill Elementary MicroSociety conducted its annual inauguration of the student government on Tuesday, Jan. 12. Former King County District Court Judge Robert McBeth swore in the newly elected leaders, including the president, vice president, House members (students representing classrooms) and Senate members (students representing each class grade). Upon election in October, the officers were tasked with learning how to become effective legislators. The newly elected government is scheduled to visit the State Capitol and meet with local legislators later this year. The MicroSociety is a school reform effort that helps students create a real-world mini-society, complete with student-run business ventures, non-profits and agencies. Its purpose is to create a sense of empowerment in students, educate them about democracy and citizenship concepts, as well as help them understand the value of academic skills in the real world.

[ TRANSIT from page 1] Second streets, making them neighborhood streets and not commuter routes. King County originally wanted to build the transit center in Renton on Grady Way, because it opposed maneuvering buses through the downtown core, Law said. But the city pushed forward with a plan for a transit center that linked transportation with multifamily housing and other development, he said. The transit center opened in 2000. “But the vision has never worked out very well. So it’s been more of a problem than an asset,” Law said of that location. “It’s time to move on.” Locating a new transit

center at Grady Way and Rainier would provide opportunities for what’s known as transit-oriented development, he said. It also would take advantage of the 10s of millions of public transportation dollars spent to improve the Rainier Avenue corridor, he said. Local buses would continue to serve downtown residents and businesses, but no longer would Metro buses use downtown Renton as a transfer point to the Eastside, Southcenter or elsewhere, Law envisions. Where Law suggests getting some of the money speaks to how Renton’s transportation needs and its employment centers have changed over the years.

Right now, there’s about $68 million in the Sound Transit budget for a ramp from Interstate 405 at North Eighth Street, proposed 20 years ago to serve Paccar and Boeing with bus rapid transit But in the intervening two decades, industrial employment has dropped in North Renton, while thousands of new jobs are being added in South Renton, including hundreds of Group Health employees near the Tukwila Sounder Station. Travel to The Landing is more likely by car than bus, Law said, and a “very adequate system” of buses is in place for those who don’t want to drive their vehicles to the Boeing or PACCAR

Inez Peterson

Inez Peterson died December 20, 2015.

She was born in Newcastle, Washington on August 17, 1921, the younger daughter to Joseph and Melanie Fillon. The Fillons were imigrants from France and Italy, and life was very tough for them during the depression years. Born with a birth defect that was corrected by the medical technology of the time, Inez never let it get in her way and lettered at Renton high school in tennis. She was valedictorian of the Renton high school class of 1940. She announced her engagement to Emil R. Peterson on December 5, 1941. They were married in 1944. In 1946, her son David came along, followed by Daniel in 1949. She was a master seamstress who made everything from bridal dresses to bathing suits. Emil and Inez were very social and had many friends. She enjoyed dancing and swimming which she did her entire life. In 1959, the family moved to Kodiak, Alaska where Inez expanded her friendship base. Moving back to Renton, she worked for Market Basket stores in the 60’s as an executive assistant. After Market Basket was sold to Fred Meyer, she ﬁnished her career at Sears as an executive assistant. In 1978, Emil and Inez moved to Pipe Lake. After Emil died in 1989, Inez continued to entertain her classmates and relatives at her beloved lake house. She swam for the last time in the summer of 2015. She was an incredibly kind soul who is missed by everyone she touched. Her favorite saying was “I just keep going one day at a time.” Indeed she did, for 94 well-lived years. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Melani Fillon, her husband, Emil R Peterson, her sister, Marie Myers. She is survived by her sons, David J. Peterson of Lake Oswego, Oregon, Daniel J. Peterson of Renton, grandchildren Scott, Mark and Claire Peterson; great grand children Jayden and Jimmy Peterson. Donations may be made in her name to St Barbara’s Church in Black Diamond.

plants. Plus, if Sound Transit 3 is approved by voters in November, bus rapid transit will provide another way to get to a workplace, he said. “At the end of the day the location doesn’t meet our transportation needs as a city and as a community,” Law said. To build the ramp also would cost millions more than allocated today, he said. Law said he has received positive support to explore his proposal from King County Executive Dow Constantine, members of the Sound Transit Board and Washington State Department of Transportation. Those discussions are continuing, with the support of the Renton City Council. Law doesn’t know now exactly how much it would cost to develop the new transit center, but he figures that if the North Eighth Street ramp project is taken off the drawing board, its $68 million could buy the land for the transit center and build the parking garage. Law is hoping to get some money from Sound Transit 3, a major measure that will go to voters this year to raise billions of dollars for transit and transportation investment, including bus rapid transit. Renton and other cities on the I-405 corridor have indicated that support for ST3 hinges on the measure providing bus rapid transit on the corridor, he said. Law’s proposal is being introduced to the ST3 list of projects, which hasn’t been finalized, he said. “So timing is of the essence,” he said. Reach Dean A. Radford at 425-255-3484 ext, 5150.

Where is the bullet going to end up? | Police blotter BY DEAN A. RADFORD dradford@rentonreporter.com

The following was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports. Saying he wasn’t going to spend Christmas in jail, a man fled empty handed after he tried to steal mail from mailboxes Dec. 23 in the 12500 block of Southeast 168th Street. A husband and wife, who was driving, spotted him acting suspiciously, next to mailboxes, holding mail in his hand. The couple stopped and the husband asked whether he owned the mail, which he dropped, then picked up and placed back in a mailbox and walked off. But the husband brandished his .45 caliber Glock and told him to say put, the police were coming. He said something like, he’d get shot if he moved or ran. Since he didn’t want to spend Christmas in jail, he ran. Gun in hand, the 48-year-old Renton man, who has a concealed weapons- permits, chased him and almost tripped him. But he was outrun. He remembered a friend’s similar situation from 20 years ago. He fired a warning shot into the air. The suspect still fled and neighbors called 911. The officer educated him about gun safety and why shooting his gun verged on recklessness. Where would the bullet end up? And he couldn’t fire a warning shot on the possibility someone might break into a neighbor’s house. The man seemed almost jovial in describing what happened. He was cited for unlawfully aiming and discharging a weapon. LAPTOP STOLEN, RETRIEVED: A 15-year-old homeless boy chased a male from the Renton Library and toward Liberty Park on Dec. 28 who had just stolen his laptop. According to a press release from the hospital, Killer was weaned off of oxygen by 2 a.m. A friend of the family came forward to claim ownership of the animal, though he stayed at the hospital for 24 hours for observation. BluePearl is treating him say no charge, though anyone interested in making a donation should contact Frankie’s Friends, an organization that provides financial assistance to pets who need lifesaving care in the Seattle Area.

Firefighters spray water on a house fire in North Renton Jan. 8.

The thief hit the victim twice on the cheek in front of the library but he continued the chase, with the help of others. The victim followed the thief and two others into an alley, where he grabbed the laptop. Two males were questioned but neither was the thief. The boy and his mother are staying at a shelter in Renton. TRANSIENT ROBBED: A 20-year-old transient in a sleeping bag in front of Gamestop on Rainier Avenue at about 10:30 p.m. Dec. 28 was told by two youths with skinny builds it was dangerous to sleep outside. They then told him to get out of his sleeping bag and struck him in the face and stole his cellphone. They threatened to shoot him, but he didn’t see a gun. Blood and pizza crumbs were on the ground. The two youths were visible on security footage from a nearby store. A K9 track failed to find the suspects. IT’S NOT YOUR TITLE: The man insisted that the van two men just exited Dec. 26 belonged to his father, which the two denied. The two insisted they had the van’s title but the argument continued. One of them grabbed a cigarette lighter from his back pocket. The suspect pulled out a knife and can of pepper spray and asked “Are you going to give me the van now?” The answer was no and he sprayed the other man with the pepper spray. Go ahead, call police, the suspect said, then walked off. But he threatened to come back with his pistol. A passerby helped the victim wash off the pepper spray. The man who was pepper sprayed has seen the man before, arguing with Jesus on the bus. The van’s plates were clear but records didn’t show a notice of sale. I NEED THE MONEY: A 28-year-old Omak woman was told by her brother that his friend would give her money for computer if she stole one. So, on Dec. 23 at about 3:30 p.m., she walked into WalMart on Rainier Avenue, placed a computer in her cart and walked out. She was redirected to the loss prevention office. She was cited and ordered not to come back to Wal-Mart for a year.

Last February my three friends and I were buzzing around the kitchen trying to make dinner. We are all tired from a day of sledding at Mount Baker and I was still dizzy and on cloud 9 from seeing Britney Spears in concert the night before. My childhood dream of seeing Britney Spears had finally come true thanks to my amazing friends. In the midst of all of the excitement, I had that tiny feeling that I was forgetting something. You know the feeling, the one that just won’t go away until you remember what you were missing. And I finally remembered… I had one hour to sign up for health insurance. Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, everyone has to have health insurance or there will be a penalty. In 2014, I qualified for free health insurance so I didn’t have to pick a plan; it was done for me, thanks to the nice lady on the other end of the phone. It was a different story in 2015 . I actually had to pick a plan with zero knowledge on how health insurance works. I looked at the clock and I had 30 minutes to figure it out. It was not an easy task. I had to look up what some terms meant and I was even more confused by the end of it all. With 10 minutes to go, I picked the cheapest plan and called it a day. While I chose a plan in time to not get penalized, I still did not understand exactly what I was paying for. The deadline for coverage starting on Jan. 1, 2016, was Dec. 23 but coverage starting in February or later isn’t until the end of the month, or later, depending on your coverage. I got a lot of calls and emails weeks before the Dec. 23 deadline (even though my coverage doesn’t need to start until March). But, it was a nice reminder that I have a month or so to pick a good plan. I decided to really look into figuring out how all of this health insurance stuff works instead of blindly picking a plan again. I wanted to completely understand what every term meant. After looking through dozens of webpages and documents, here are a few terms and tips you should know to help you in your search. DEDUCTIBLE: The amount you are responsible for paying for medical expenses each year, before your health insurance takes over and pays the rest. For example, if your deductible is $1,000 and you have a medical bill of $6,000, you pay $1,000 and your health insurance pays the rest. CO-INSURANCE: The amount you have to pay for medical services after you’ve satisfied any co-payment or deductible required by your health insurance plan. Co-insurance is typically expressed as a percentage of the charge. For example, if your bill is $10,000, co-insurance is 20 percent and deductible is $1,000; you will have to pay the $1,000 deductible then $2,000 for the co-insurance [ more INSURANCE page 7 ]

Properly preparing kids for learning starts in the cafeteria The following column originally appeared in the Jan. 12 issue of The Hill and on thehill.com: The classroom. The computer lab. The cafeteria. When it comes to inspiring learning and preparing kids for the future, which one doesn’t seem to quite belong? At first glance, the easy answer may appear to be the cafeteria. Then again, consider how critically important nutrition and health are to students’ success and growth and it’s clear that the cafeteria really does belong in that group. In 2010, Congress passed the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, a law that ushered in the first updates to nutrition standards for school meals in 15 years. The standards took effect in 2012. More fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are in; excess saturated fat, added sugar, and sodium are out. A growing body of research shows that the standards are working and students are eating healthier at school. The latest evidence can be found in my home state of Washington. From January 2011 to January 2014, researchers from the Center for Public Health Nutrition at the University of Washington analyzed school meal selections made by students at three middle and three high schools in the Renton School District. Covering 7,200 students and 1.7 million meals over nearly three years, this is one of the largest and most comprehensive studies to date to examine the impact of the updated standards. The results were an unqualified success. After the updated standards were implemented, the nutritional quality of foods chosen by students in our schools dramatically improved—students took lunches that provided more Vitamin A, more Vitamin C, and fewer calories per Heather Mann

gram. Students’ healthier choices were driven primarily by the increased amount and variety of fruits and vegetables we offered. And student participation in the school meals program held steady post-implementation. Why is this so important? Many students consume up to half of their daily calories at school. In our district especially—where more than half of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals—nutritious foods truly make a difference for students’ health. Encouraging and empowering kids to eat well not only helps them be better prepared to learn, it also helps them establish healthy habits that can last a lifetime. At Renton, we’ve incorporated our healthier meals into a broader nutrition education focus. We partner with farmers across the state to bring fresh, local products into the cafeteria; our nutrition service team even visits the farms, learning about the local crops and potential ways to incorporate them into menus. We transformed our cafeteria walls and menu boards with bright pictures of fresh produce and fun facts about the food on the menu to get kids excited about the new offerings. We run taste tests so the kids can tell us what they’d prefer to see on the menu—this lets them be a part of the process and gives them a voice and sense of ownership over the menu. As Congress prepares to renew the standards and increase critical funding to help schools update and modernize their kitchens, we need to remain committed to the progress that has been made to strengthen the nutritional integrity of our meal programs and be resolute in encouraging, educating and modeling healthful eating habits for our students. Our goal is to meet the demands of an everincreasing food savvy student customer base [ more NUTRITION page 7 ]

services. Once I would need those services without insurance, I will have wished I had insurance because of how expensive health services are without insurance. Even a normal medical visit can be expensive. I have been very lucky in the sense that I do not need medical services and it is frustrating sometimes to see money taken out of my account every month for some-

(20 percent of $10,000), so all together you’re paying $3,000 for a $10,000 bill. COPAYMENT: Usually a fixed dollar amount such as $15, every time you visit the doctor or fill a prescription. Not all plans have copayments and they do not usually accumulate toward the deductible. OUT-OF-POCKET MAXIMUM: The most you will have to pay for covered medical expenses in a plan year through deductible and coinsurance before your insurance plan begins to pay 100 percent of covered medical expenses. The next thing you need to know before choosing a plan, is deciding on your needs. You may need a lot of medical services or you may not. This might be one of the most important pieces to the health insurance puzzle. You shouldn’t have to pay for services you don’t think you will use. Yes, accidents happen unexpectedly and that’s the reason for deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums, but will you really need to pay for an insurance that provides acupuncture? Or chiropractor visits? Or massages? If you answered yes to any of these, then go for the plan that covers those things. If you answered no, you shouldn’t have to pay for a plan that provides them. Most insurance websites ask you questions about your health and habits to help you choose what coverage you need. While it may seem like a tedious task, it is important that you do. Based off

your answers, you will get the right coverage. Some provide discounts based on your answers. Such as, if you’re a nonsmoker, you could get a small discount. The more medical services you will need, the more expensive your monthly payment will be. You also have to decide how much out-of-pocket you can pay if a big medical bill came along. If you can pay more, your monthly bill will be cheaper. If you could not pay much, your bill will be higher every month. The insurance companies are trying to cover their bases. If you can pay a higher deductible and out-of-pocket expenses, they know during a big emergency they won’t have to pay as much because you can. So, your monthly bill will be cheaper to make up for that. There have been a lot of disagreements over the years about our health care system and some people don’t think it’s fair to force health insurance upon us. But the whole goal of everyone having health insurance is prevention. I’ve read countless stories about people going to the doctor because of the insurance they have and they were able to catch an illness early enough to where it wasn’t life threatening. Some will also argue that it is cheaper to pay the penalty at the end of the year than for health insurance. While that may be completely accurate (I pay more than three times as much for health insurance in one year than the penalty would be), I would need to never get sick or need medical

Tips to get your garden ready for spring

Finding the Connection

The second week of January may feel like the dark days of winter but the days are getting longer and spring is on the way. Study seed and plant catalogs either online or from your mailbox so you can place your order early. Don’t walk on your lawn if the ground is frozen or try to use a dormant spray or do winter pruning unless the weather is mild. If evergreen boughs fall from trees during a winter storm, lie them on top of tender perennial plants for added protection from the wind and cold. I enjoyed my wonderful, potted succulents this past summer and because I know that these are the tender Echeveria succulents they will not survive our cold winters. Following your advice in the newspaper, I moved my pot of mixed Echeverias indoors. Now they seem to be stretching for the light with long stems. I have them in the brightest light. Anything else I should be doing? J., Puyallup Force them to go to sleep. Overwintering tender plants indoors works best if they are

kept in a cold location with no food and no water. An unheated garage or frost free shed is often better for desert type plant than a sunny window. The longer stems you notice is a sign that the sedums are not dormant and reaching for more light. It is not too late to move your Echeverias to a colder location and let the soil dry out. In late spring you can shorten the sedum plants by taking cuttings off the top. New leaves will sprout from the stump left behind and new roots will form on the long stem you cut from the mother plant. My poinsettia plant still looks lovely. I have heard I can place this potted plant in a dark closet and it will bloom again next Christmas. Is this true? S.C., North Pole It is possible to keep a poinsettia alive as a blooming houseplant but only if you love a challenge. Using the closet treatment it may be possible to force a poinsettia into blooming next Christmas. You must provide total night darkness for a specific number of hours for six to eight weeks. Even a reading light or street light can keep poinsettias from creating colorful new growth next Christmas. The best place for an old poinsettia is outdoors. One night of cold or freezing temperatures will kill the plant quickly and then you won’t feel

Q. A.

so guilty about dumping it all into the compost pile where poinsettias past their prime belong. I am going to start my own seeds this spring and have been doing some research on this topic. What is your opinion of using heating mats to get the seedlings started? Is bottom heat that important? T.R., Tacoma Your seedlings will love any heat that comes from below. Heating mats or heating cables are used by professional growers because they really do encourage more roots and quicker seed germination. A dirt cheap alternative is to place your seed flats on top of the fridge or dryer if you have an appliance that gives off heat. When starting seeds in Western Washington, it is more important to have a good source of light, a quick draining seed starting medium and the right planting date. Most gardeners in our area make the mistake of starting seeds indoors too soon. Then the seedlings grow tall and leggy waiting for the weather to warm up so they can go outdoors. Read the planting instructions for each seed type. Many say to wait until 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. In our climate the last frost can arrive as late as mid May. Gather your seeds and supplies now but be patient.

Through the second, the two teams battled evenly with the Eagles winning the third quarter 15-13 and then holding on to win 58-53 despite a late push by the Pirate offense. Jordan Flye led the Eagles with 16 points in the win. Lindbergh is now 7-4 on the year and 5-2 in the Seamount.

to 9-3 on the year and 6-1 in the Seamount. They were scheduled to take on second-place Lindbergh Wednesday at Lindbergh.

LINDBERGH It was an up and down week in what has been an up-anddown season for the Lindbergh Eagles girls, beating Tyee 46-36 on Jan. 6 and then falling at Highline 54-52 on Jan. 8. Serena Sims led the way against the Totems, dropping in 15 points as the Eagles jumped out to a 20-2 lead in the first quarter and then held on as Tyee tried to battle back. Alani Sinclair had the hot hand against Highline, leading all scorers with 17, but it was not enough to top the Pirates, despite going out to a 13-11 lead in the first quarter. By halftime, however, Highline had battled back to take a 28-26 lead. The

Pirates continued to out pace the Eagles in the third, but in the fourth quarter, Lindbergh mounted a comeback, outscoring Highline 18-14 but falling just short of the win. Lindbergh sits at 6-7 overall and 3-4 in the league. They played at Hazen on Wednesday and host Renton tonight, Friday. LIBERTY The Liberty girls basketball team fell to 4-6 overall and 2-4 in the KingCo this week with a pair of losses to Lake Washington and Bellevue. The Lady Patriots went into Lake Washington Jan. 6, but were unable to come away with a win, falling 57-53. Liberty started out strong, out pacing the Kangaroos 14-9 in the first quarter. But the Roos battled back, bringing the score to within two points as the teams went to halftime. Liberty again opened the third strong, but the Patriots could not hold on as the Roos dropped 20 points in the fourth quarter to win the game 57-53. On Jan. 8 the girls headed to Bellevue where they took on the unbeaten Wolverines. Bellevue came out hot, outscoring the Patriots 25-4 in the first and never looking back en route to an 85-27.
