The settled lawsuit accused a police officer of acting recklessly when he pursued a felon in a high-speed chase. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
BOTHELL — The family of an Everett nurse killed by a fugitive trying to outrun Bothell police officers has settled a wrongful death lawsuit for $3 million. The case was scheduled to go

to trial in King County in March. A settlement with the city of Bothell was reached Thursday morning, the family’s attorney Robert Gellatly said. “We’re gratified the police department has made changes to its pursuit policies,” he said. “They’ve given training
to officers so hopefully this type of tragedy won’t happen again.” Rachael Kamin, 40, was driving home along Pacific Avenue on Mother’s Day 2013 after her shift at Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. Bothell police officer Mark Atterbury was chasing a convicted felon down Evergreen Way at speeds reaching 90 mph. The fugitive, Joseph
Strange, ran a red light and plowed into Kamin’s Honda CRV. She suffered fatal head injuries and died two days after the wreck. She left behind a husband and two teenage sons. The lawsuit alleged that Atterbury was reckless and negligent when he chased the truck for miles. See DEATH, Page A2

$3 million in nurse’s death
Herald Writer
EVERETT — Bonuses for Boeing’s white-collar workers are down for the second year in a row. The company said Thursday that more than 42,000 Boeing employees in Washington are splitting $140.9 million for their annual bonus. Losses worth more than $1.6 billion from the 747 and KC-46 tanker programs dragged down the amount. The payout is based on the company’s 2015 performance through the Employee Incentive Plan, which covers nonexecutive employees who are not Machinists. People in those jobs work as engineers, drafters, office support and others. Individual workers will get from 8.25 to 9.75 days of additional pay depending on which business unit they worked in the past year. The pay will show up in paychecks Feb. 25. “While 2015 was a solid year for the company and our employees, the economic profit scores were not as high as those for 2014,” the company said in a news release announcing the bonuses. Boeing paid out $191 million, equivalent to about 12 days extra pay, through the Employee Incentive Plan last February. Two years ago, workers collected the maximum bonuses, which was 16 or 17 days of additional pay. Economic profit scores are used to determine bonuses for employees at all levels in Boeing, including executives. The scores were hurt by two write offs taken by the company last year. Boeing wrote off $885 million in the fourth quarter due to lower projected 747 sales. That amounted to a $569 million charge against earnings for shareholders after taxes. In July, Boeing wrote off $835 million due to development cost overruns on the KC-46 tanker program. That amounted to a $536 million charge against second-quarter earnings after taxes. The company news release said Boeing plans to announce how much Machinists union members will get through the Aerospace Machinists Performance Program in “the coming days.” Last year, about 34,000 Machinists split $77.9 million.

EVERETT — In drenching rain, volunteers set out Thursday with clipboards and questions. Across Snohomish County, they visited shelters and parking lots, walked down alleys, and took to the streets in search of people without homes. They were seeking more than a tally of homeless people on a single day in late January. As helpers with the Snohomish County 2016 Point in Time count, they carried surveys asking about circumstances that caused people to be without permanent places

to stay. There were questions about domestic violence, job loss, drug use, military service and more. “Where did you stay last night?” was only the first thing asked during the 12-hour count, conducted from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday from sites in Everett, Lynnwood, Arlington and east Snohomish County. The count is required for communities getting state and federal money for programs to alleviate homelessness. Last year, there were 966 people found to be without stable housing. That was down from 1,272 in 2014, and 1,966 in 2013. See COUNT, Page A5
