he Eatonville High School girls swim team capped off a season of relentless effort and steady improvement with a standout showing at the West Central District 3 Championships on Friday and Saturday at Curtis High School, finishing 7th overall among 14 teams and putting up some of their best times of the year. The Cruisers scored 104 team points to secure their spot in the top 10, edging out league rivals Fife (100), Clover Park (61), and Washington High School (12). Nearly every swimmer posted a personal record over the two-day meet, a result that left the team’s coaches and fans beaming with pride. Assistant Coach Tira Hancock said the weekend was the culmination of months of dedication, discipline, and teamwork. “The girls went to the blocks with sheer determination to race and do their best, and they did,” Hancock said. “Almost every swimmer earned personal records during prelims and then broke those PRs again in finals!

We are Eatonville Strong! Dear Eatonville Students, Staff, and Community Members,
GRATITUDE FOR OUR STAFF AND COMMUNITY s we enter the month of November, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each of you for your continued support and dedication to promoting student attendance and academic achievement. Thank you to all who attended our school conferences in October. Your presence, insights, and collaboration with staff play a crucial role in helping our students achieve their best academic outcomes and prepare for success beyond Eatonville schools. Each day, I am reminded of how remarkable this community is. When I visit classrooms, I see dedicated staff focused on student learning; when I speak with parents, I hear about their volunteer efforts to enrich the educational experience; and when I attend community events, I meet people eager to support our schools in any way they can. Our athletic events are filled with fans who cheer for our students wholeheartedly, win or lose. The unwavering support of our families, staff, and community members makes a tremendous difference in the lives of our students. I am truly grateful to each of you. It is an honor to serve alongside you.

SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT PLANS Last month, principals from all five of our schools met with our School Board during a
study session to share their schools’ academic progress from the 2024–25 school year and to present their improvement plans for 2025–26. They also outlined strategies for reaching those goals. This transparency was well received by both the Board and our community, and I’m pleased to share that our students showed strong progress overall in English Language Arts and Science. This year, we will continue our focus in those areas while placing additional emphasis on mathematics. I look forward to providing updates on our efforts and achievements throughout the year. It is inspiring to see how every school in our district is taking meaningful steps to recognize and encourage students for their commitment to great attendance and academic success.
TUTORING SUPPORT I’m also happy to report that the $2.3 million Joe Harned Student Support Trust Fund—established to expand tutoring in every school—is making a significant impact. Each building is using this generous resource to identify and assist students who benefit from additional academic support. This investment allows us to provide more personalized help, ensuring every student has access to the tools they need to succeed. If your student would benefit from tutoring, please reach out to your school’s staff to learn more about available opportunities.
STADIUM PROGRESS Our new track, field, and stadium project is taking great shape! Excavation for the track and field is complete, and the construction team is now working on the drainage system, curbing, fencing, and foundations for track-and-field events. Preparations are also underway for the stadium and restrooms. We are deeply grateful to Ohop Mutual Light Company for removing the old lights and poles, to LeMay Pierce County Refuse for hauling debris, and to Land Recovery, Inc. (LRI) for disposal services. A special thank-you also goes to the Greater Eatonville Community Foundation (GECF) for raising more than $100,000 through their Sponsor a Seat campaign, your support is truly remarkable. Many have asked when the project will be completed. Some portions are weather-dependent, but our goal is to finish the field and stadium by the end of 2025, with the remaining elements, including the LED lighting system, the new EHS Class of 2025 flagpole, scoreboard, restrooms, and track, completed by April 2026. We are once again grateful to our voters for approving the capital projects levy that made this new facility possible.
to race a strong, fast finish is inspiring. They poured everything into each stroke to drop their times and earn allocations to the state meet.” Senior captain Annika Howard led the way with two standout swims. In the 500-yard freestyle, she touched the wall at 6:06.16, just six seconds off the Eatonville school record. She also trimmed seven seconds from her personal best in the 100-yard breaststroke, finishing 6th in the district with a time of 1:17.17, earning an alternate position for the state championships. Fellow senior captain Nicole Tomyn also shined under pressure. She cut 0.08 seconds off her previous best in the 50 freestyle for the 7th-fastest time in the district and dropped 3.5 seconds in the 100 freestyle to finish 6th with a 1:00.16, another state alternate performance. Senior captain Charlotte Stumph turned in strong relay splits throughout the meet, posting new personal records in every event and helping propel Eatonville to a new best in the 200 freestyle relay.

experiences with members of the Washington State House of Representatives Education Committee. The visit, organized and led by former Eatonville School Board member Representative Matt Marshall, showcased how the GRITS program builds leadership, communication, and practical skills through real-world applications in science, natural resources, and farm management. This event was a powerful reminder of how experiential learning at GRITS continues to shape confident, capable, and communityminded leaders. A SEASON OF GRATITUDE As Thanksgiving approaches, I wish each of you a season filled with joy and gratitude. Together, let’s continue our shared focus on attendance, academic success, and preparing every student for a bright and successful future. Our collective vision bears repeating: Together with our families and community, Eatonville Schools will empower students to achieve excellence in education and future success.

If you die without a will, your estate will be settled in accordance with state law. Details vary by state, but assets typically are distributed using a hierarchy of survivors. Assets go first to a spouse, then to children, then your siblings, and so on. You also need to be aware that certain accounts take precedence over a will. If you jointly own a home or a bank account, for example, the house, and the funds in the account, will go to the joint holder, even if your will directs otherwise. Similarly, retirement accounts and life insurance policies are distributed to the beneficiaries you designate, so it is important to keep them up to date too. ONLINE WILL MAKERS If you have a simple, straightforward estate and an uncomplicated family situation, writing your own will – with the help of a good online will making program – is a viable alternative to hiring an attorney and much cheaper. Like tax software, these online tools will guide you through a series of questions and will insert your answers into a will for you, and it usually takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. Some of the highest-rated do-it-yourself options include the Quicken WillMaker & Trust 2025 downloadable software (WillMaker.com) that starts at $109 and is valid in every state except Louisiana; Trust & Will (TrustandWill.com) which charges $199 for an individual will-based estate plan; and LegalZoom (LegalZoom.com), which offers will-based estate plans for $129 or $149 if you’d like assistance from an independent attorney. Or, if that’s more than you’re able or willing to pay, two good options that will let you make your will for free are FreeWill.com or DoYourOwnWill.com.

WHEN TO HIRE A LAWYER If you have considerable financial assets or a complex family situation, like a blended family or a child with special needs, it would be smart for you to seek professional advice. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (NAELA.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners & Councils (NAEPC.org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you find someone in your area. Costs will vary depending on your location and the complexity of your situation, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,000 to get your will made. To help you save, shop around and get price quotes from several different firms. And before you meet with an attorney, make a detailed list
of your assets and accounts to help make your visit more efficient. WHERE TO STORE IT? Once your will is written, the best place to keep it is either in a fireproof safe or file cabinet at home, in a safe deposit box in your bank or online. But make sure your executor knows where it is and has access to it. Or, if a professional prepares your will, keep the original document at your lawyer’s office. Also, be sure to update your will if your family or financial circumstances change, or if you move to another state.

Eatonville Girls Place 12th at State Cross Country Meet, Seniors Cap Strong Season in Pasco By Skip Smith
T
he Eatonville High School cross country team wrapped up a memorable 2025 season Saturday at the WIAA State Cross Country Championships, where the Cruiser girls placed 12th out of 16 teams in the Class 1A field at Sun Willows Golf Course. Senior Grace Coonrod led the way for Eatonville, finishing 26th out of 163 runners with a time of 20
minutes, 7.5 seconds. Fellow senior Bridget Stumph followed in 86th at 21:33.3, and junior Hannah Bieker came through close behind in 94th with a time of 21:44.8. Sophomore Audrey Mullins posted a personal best, clocking 22:53.8 for 130th place, while freshman Jenny Lowe crossed the line in 23:05.4 for 136th. Seniors Alice Alexander (32:41.9) and Savanna Price (35:24.8) rounded out Eatonville’s scoring seven.
“The team had a great season,” said head coach Geoff Olson. “I am very proud of all of them. The girl’s team had an amazing season finishing second at districts and then
12th at state out of 16 teams. The state course is very tough, and we competed very well.” On the boy’s side, senior Colton Rush represented Eatonville in the 1A state race, placing 114th out of 160 runners in 18:10.1. Olson said he was especially reflective as his five seniors wrapped up their final high school races. “To the seniors — Grace, Bridget, Savanna, Alice and Colton — they will be missed dearly, and I wish
them nothing but the best as they become young, thriving adults,” Olson said. “Keep putting the back foot in front and keep running.” With a strong showing at districts and a competitive finish on one of the state’s most challenging courses, the Eatonville cross country program closed out 2025 on a high note — one built on teamwork, steady progress and senior leadership.
Major Earthquake Rattles Seafloor Near Underwater Volcano Off the West Coast Staff Report
TREMOR NEAR AXIAL SEAMOUNT The quake occurred off the Oregon coast near Axial Seamount, an undersea volcano about 300 miles west of Cannon Beach and roughly a mile beneath the surface. Early readings placed the quake’s magnitude in the upper-5 range, strong enough to be recorded by seismographs across the Pacific Northwest. Scientists at Oregon State University’s College of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences - who have studied Axial for years confirmed the location falls within a cluster of tremors that began in late October. More than a thousand micro-earthquakes have been detected in the area within a single 24hour period, suggesting magma movement beneath the seafloor. A VOLCANO UNDER PRESSURE Axial Seamount isn’t new to scientists or
COULD THIS QUAKE TRIGGER AN ERUPTION? At this point, scientists are cautious. The earthquake may have been caused by normal tectonic movement along the Juan de Fuca Ridge - where the Pacific and North American Plates pull apart - or it may be related to magma movement within the volcano itself. Either way, experts say the risk to people on land is minimal. Because Axial lies deep beneath the ocean and far offshore, even

the sea floor. It last erupted in 2015, and previous activity was recorded in 1998 and 2011. Instruments anchored to the ocean floor show that the volcano’s surface is “inflating like a balloon,” expanding several inches each month as magma accumulates below. That gradual swelling usually precedes an eruption - though in this case, any eruption would likely stay underwater, with lava solidifying long before reaching the surface. “It’s one of the most predictable volcanoes on the planet,” said marine geologist Bill Chadwick, who has monitored Axial for decades. “We’re watching it breathe - deflating when it erupts, and slowly reinflating afterward.”
a sizable eruption would not be expected to generate a damaging tsunami or visible surface disturbance. Still, researchers are paying close attention to whether this quake signals the volcano’s next eruption cycle. “Every event adds to our understanding of how magma interacts with the crust,” Chadwick said. “It’s like listening to a volcano’s heartbeat.” WHY THIS MATTERS TO THE NORTHWEST While the undersea eruption itself is unlikely to threaten coastal communities, it’s a reminder that the Cascadia Subduction Zone - the offshore fault running from Northern California to British Columbia
- remains one of North America’s most active and least predictable seismic systems. Events like this show how interconnected the region’s geology is: the same plate movements that feed Axial Seamount’s magma also store the stress that can one day unleash a major coastal earthquake. For residents of Washington and Oregon, it’s a good time to revisit emergency plans, refresh earthquake kits, and make sure communication lines are ready in the event of stronger seismic activity closer to shore. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT The undersea monitoring network known as the Regional Cabled Array will continue watching Axial Seamount for pressure changes, seismic swarms, and deformation of the seafloor - all potential signs that magma is rising. If an eruption does occur, it will most likely create new lava flows across the seafloor, expanding the oceanic crust by a few square miles. Scientists say that while such eruptions reshape the ocean floor, they also expand our understanding of the dynamic forces shaping the Pacific Northwest from below.

First There Were Two, Then There Was One By Bill Baarsma (Note from the author: On Nov. 12, 1875, the Washington Territorial Legislature officially incorporated the City of Tacoma. Thus, this year marks the city’s Sesquicentennial. On Nov. 12 this year, Tacoma Historical Society will be joining the Asia Pacific Cultural Center in holding Tacoma’s 150th birthday at the new APCC building. Tickets can be purchased through the Tacoma Historical Society’s website – www.tacomahistory.org.)
T
hrough its 150 years, Tacoma has experienced high hopes and deep disappointments. Perhaps the most telling example of this was through the election of consolidated Tacoma’s first two mayors: Civil War hero General John Wilson Sprague and the seething racist Jacob Robert Weisbach. The events leading up to their fateful elections and the aftermath are described in the following article. FIRST THERE WERE TWO AND THEN THERE WAS ONE When Morton Matthew McCarver talked Job Carr into trading his most lucrative Tacoma waterfront property for land in Oregon, McCarver was convinced he could then entice the Northern Pacific Railroad to choose his land as its transcontinental terminus. McCarver would then finally secure his long-sought fortune. On July 14, 1873, McCarver received the railroad’s telegram that announced Commencement Bay as the terminus site, and he was ecstatic. McCarver soon became as disappointed as Seattle Mayor Arthur A. Denny because the railroad had no intention of selecting Tacoma or Seattle, for that matter, as the end of the transcontinental line. The railroad decided instead on creating their own company town, adjacent to Tacoma, to be organized by Charles B. Wright and his brother-in-law, Theodore Hosmer. They named the company town New Tacoma. The people living in Tacoma refused to call the company town New Tacoma. Instead, they referred to it as the Town of New. There were no roads connecting the two communities and each had their own mayor and council. Also, each had their own notable Episcopal Church: Saint Peter’s and Saint Luke’s. Tacoma and New Tacoma were both officially incorporated by the Territorial Legislature. There was much confusion all around. (Abbott and Costello’s comedy routine “Who’s on First?” comes to mind.) For reasons not entirely clear, the legislature in 1883 decided to end the confusion. The two Tacomas would once again be incorporated, this time into one consolidated city. Finally, on Jan. 1, 1884, there would be one Tacoma mayor and one city council. TACOMA ELECTS ITS ‘GEORGE WASHINGTON’ AS MAYOR The consolidated city needed leadership to serve until the regularly scheduled election on May 5, 1884. A reluctant but highly respected John Wilson Sprague stepped forward to serve as mayor if chosen in the special election of December 1883. Sprague was a Civil War hero who joined the Ohio Infantry, was captured and imprisoned by Southern forces, released and rejoined his unit and then rose to the rank of Brigadier General. (He received a Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously for bravery in crucial battles near Decatur, Georgia.) General Sprague had been a former Northern Pacific superintendent and a leader of Tacoma’s business community. The General ran unopposed and was one of the first candidates for a territorial mayor to receive votes from women who were briefly granted the suffrage. (That right to vote was taken away three years later and not returned until 1910.) One of the General’s most notable achievements was to convince the Northern Pacific, through its subsidiary the Tacoma Land Company, to build in 1883 the grand Tacoma Hotel. Sprague worked with Charles
Wright in convincing the notable architect Stanford White to design the most elegant hotel north of San Francisco. Sprague hosted the hotel’s grand opening in 1884. (The hotel burned down in October 1935. It should not be confused with Stadium High School which arose from the burned-out ruins of the second grand hotel – never finished.) As the regular election in May fast approached, many of Tacoma’s most notable citizens pleaded with the General to run for a full term. This was not to be – sadly for Tacoma. TACOMA ELECTS A TRUE SCOUNDREL TO REPLACE THE GENERAL Jacob Robert Weisbach was a German immigrant and failed revolutionary, anarchist and convicted felon. After spending time in a German prison, he was expelled from his home country and spent time in China. Much like McCarver with Blacks while he
“Weisbach cast blame on the Chinese laboring poor for their poverty.” lived in the South, Weisbach cast blame on the Chinese laboring poor for their poverty. In 1859, he left China for America. When in this country, Weisbach helped establish the largely Germanic community of Frankfort, Kansas, and was elected its
Jacob Robert Weisbach mayor. Frustrated by the city’s slow growth and lack of economic opportunity, he decided at the age 49 to seek his fortune in the Pacific Northwest – where else, but the City of Destiny. In 1883 he was elected to the interim Tacoma City Council. In 1884 he announced his intention to run for mayor of the consolidated Tacoma. Weisbach secured the nomination of the Citizens Ticket (the national parties didn’t come into play until statehood) and faced E.S. “Skookum” Smith, a civil engineer who had worked for the Northern Pacific, in the May general election. Weisbach, with the support of Tacoma’s large German community, won by 39 votes. At the time of Weisbach’s election, there were an estimated 500 plus Chinese living in Tacoma – about 9 percent of the population. They had come to this country from Kwantung Province (Canton) to work for the Northern Pacific and to lay the rails that followed the Prairie Line to the salt water in 1873. Once settled, they picked up the garbage, disposed of the sewerage, and carried off the slop from restaurants and hotels. They did the laundry and cleaned the homes of the well-to-do. Several of them owned businesses in downtown. There were two Chinese settlements built along and over
the water – one just north of downtown and one near to Old Tacoma. The Chinese, in the words of historian Murray Morgann, were just tolerated as a work force by the general population. Weisbach seethed with hatred of the Chinese. At a public meeting in downtown organized to discuss the “Chinese problem,” the mayor was to say: “They came here to steal your cream and on their return to China to laugh at your folly… If the people are of earnest, if they are free Americans in fact, they will not yield up their homes and businesses to the filthy horde.” ETHNIC CLEANSING THROUGH THE TACOMA METHOD Weisbach and his cohorts hatched a plan to rid the community of what he termed, “the filthy horde.” It became known as the Tacoma Method, and its slogan was, “The Chinese Must Go.” The mayor appointed himself police chief and set out to act. The first step was to convince the Chinese to leave of their own accord by pressuring them through intimidation and coercion. Many did leave for Vancouver and Victoria. The second step was far more drastic and led Tacoma to be defined nationally as a city of barbarians and lawbreakers. By the end of the year, Tacoma citizens were worked up in an anti-Chinese frenzy primarily through the pages of the city’s leading newspaper, the Daily Ledger, and its racist editor Jack Comerford. In one editorial he wrote: “Why permit an army of leprous, prosperity-sucking, progress blasting Asiatics to befoul our throughfares, degrade the city…take employment from our countrymen, corrupt the morals of our youth, or slave and taint with their brothels the lives of our young men.” Comerford advocated the forceful removal of the Chinese or even their murder as an option. He got his wish. THE FINAL ACT Weisbach and his followers in the Tacoma Anti-Chinese League had carefully organized the final steps that would drive out of the city the last of the Chinese – around 200. Those remaining included businessmen with fully stocked stores and warehouses. They were assured by General Sprague and others that they were in Tacoma, and their rights would be protected. Sun Chong, a prosperous merchant, reached out to Mayor Weisbach to ask if those remaining would be compensated if they willingly left. Weisbach said he would see what could be done. The mayor decided nothing could be done. At exactly 9:30 on the rainy morning of Nov. 3, 1885, Weisbach’s secretive army of 500 vigilantes gathered on Pacific Avenue to spring into action wearing raincoats and carrying long guns and pistols. Groups of five to six men approached Chinese homes, pounded on the front doors and yelled, “You’ve been warned, now get out.” The mob worked its way to the Chinese communities along and over the water, rounded up the Chinese there and marched them to the center of town. The vigilantes herded all the remaining 200 Chinese and forced them to walk the nine miles to the railway station at Lakeview. Those with money were forced to buy passenger tickets to Portland. The rest were loaded on southbound boxcars. The following day, the largest Chinese dwellings burned to the water’s edge. The Ledger blamed the departing Chinese. As noted in a Nov. 2, 2008, article in the News Tribune: “After the 27 leaders of the mob were given a symbolic scolding at the U.S. District Court in Vancouver, Washington (charges were dropped), they were welcomed home as heroes. A parade was held in their honor, complete with marching bands and booming canons.” THERE WERE HEROES A few in Tacoma did speak out and attempt to resist the expulsion. The most notable was the Reverent W. D. McFarland, the
John Wilson Sprague newly appointed pastor of First Presbyterian Church. Described by Murray Morgan as a “gaunt, red-haired Scot,” the pastor became outraged when he found out that his wife and family were threatened by members of the Anti-Chinese League for employing Chinese – which they did not. He announced he would be giving a sermon on the “Chinese Question” the following Sunday. Before a packed church, McFarland sermonized on the importance of the rule of law and good citizenship. He described the visit to his home and the threats from the representatives of the Anti-Chinese League and said that if he had been home, he would have kicked them into the street. As members of the congregation stood up to walk out, McFarland said: “That’s right, if you can’t take the truth about yourselves, get out. Go! Go! I will preach until the benches are empty.” As threats to him and his family intensified, McFarland strapped holstered pistols to his waist. But he didn’t back down. Seeing the vigilantes preparing to round up the remaining Chinese, he attempted to intercede. Standing next to Albert Whyte, captain of the Home Guard, he said: “Good God, captain, is this America? Why do we stand and do nothing? I must do something.” Whyte restrained the pastor, saying: “Every man out there would love to have you start something. Don’t matter what you do, you can’t stop this thing. You can only make it worse.” Realizing he would likely be killed, McFarland sagged against the window frame, “Perhaps you’re right.” (The above vivid descriptions come from historian Murray Morgan’s wonderful book: “Puget’s Sound: A Narrative of Early Tacoma and the Sothern Sound,” University of Washington Press, 1979.) Other notable heroes were General Sprague, pioneer Ezra Meeker and Chinese resident Lum May. They joined with McFarland in sending affidavits to the U.S. District Court regarding the infamous 27. To this day, Tacoma remains one of the few port cities on the West Coast without a Chinatown. A postscript: On Nov. 30, 1993, the Tacoma City Council passed a resolution sponsored by council member Robert Evans acknowledging that the 1885 expulsion was “a most reprehensible occurrence.” The resolution went on to call for a “living memorial which will be an educational tool to prevent the recurrence of a similar event.” Through the leadership of Theresa Pan Hosley, among others, that memorial became the Tacoma Chinese Reconciliation Park. The author in 2006, while as Tacoma mayor and while visiting China, hand delivered a copy of that resolution to Chinese government officials in Sichuan Province (Washinton State’s Chinese sister province).

Youth Justice Transformed in Pierce County
Remann Hall is being reimagined to align better with community values.
T
he National Association of Counties (NaCo) has commended Pierce County’s approach to youth justice in the most recent edition of “County News.” As NaCo reports, Pierce County leaders decided in 2000 to focus on alternatives to detention using evidence-based practices and community engagement.
Since then, the county achieved an 88 percent reduction in youth detention despite the county’s overall population growing by approximately 30 percent over the same period. Diversion accounted for 54 percent of all case outcomes in 2024. Of those cases, 80 percent of youth did not reoffend. Pierce County Executive Ryan N. Mello
formed a multidisciplinary task force of community leaders earlier this year to advise on the eventual replacement of Remann Hall, the county’s existing juvenile justice facility. Remann Hall originally opened in 1948 and was replaced with a new facility in 1971. The aging facility faces significant operational limitations and no longer meets the needs of a modern justice system. The task force knows that this work goes far beyond replacing the aging Remann Hall facility. Its shared goal is to create a space that truly reflects our community’s values, a place designed to support restoration, growth, and connection for young people and their families. “We are grateful to NaCo for recognizing Pierce County’s approach to youth justice, including alternatives to detention that lead to better long-term outcomes for our young people,” Mello said. “As we continue this work, we are also committed to designing and building a new juvenile justice facility that provides the modern infrastructure Pierce County needs to support our youth. I look forward to receiving recommendations from our Juvenile Justice Task Force early next year to help inform our next steps.” According to the story at naco.org/ news, 25 years ago, Pierce County faced a choice: build a new juvenile jail or reform its justice system. Guided by Juvenile Court Administrator TJ Bohl and supported by
county leaders, the county chose reform, joining the Annie E. Casey Foundation’s Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI). By 2003, part of Remann Hall was closed and funding shifted toward community-based alternatives. Diversion now accounts for more than half of all youth cases. Opportunity-Based Probation, developed with the University
“The aging facility faces significant operational limitations” of Washington, rewards positive behavior through a point system that can lead to early release. Partnerships with 31 community organizations under the Youth Serving Agencies Network (YSAN) connect youth to programs from glassblowing to skateboarding. Tacoma Creates – a 0.1 percent sales-tax initiative – has provided $5.8 million to expand access for underserved youth. A new 15-member task force is exploring future funding and facility options. Pierce County’s experience shows how collaboration, evidence-based innovation, and community investment can turn a punitive system into one rooted in opportunity – changing not only outcomes but lives.
Local Lifelines: Eatonville Agencies Step Up as Food Need Grows During Shutdown Staff Report
A
s the federal shutdown stretches on, the impact is reaching deep into small towns like Eatonville where families who once volunteered at food drives are now standing in line for groceries themselves. With paychecks on hold for federal workers and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits delayed or frozen, food banks across Pierce County are experiencing record demand. In Eatonville, the need is immediate and visible. The town’s central food hub, the Eatonville Family Agency (EFA), has become a lifeline for hundreds of households suddenly unsure where their next meal will come from. “We’re seeing families we’ve never seen before,” said one
NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE IS GIVEN in accordance with EMC-18.09.030, the town of Eatonville has received an application for a Conditional Use Permit for a new quick service drive thru and walk-up restaurant located at 106 Center St W.

longtime volunteer at the agency. “Some are federal employees. Others are working parents who just didn’t get their SNAP benefits this month. Nobody should have to choose between gas and groceries.” A LOCAL SAFETY NET THAT WORKS LIKE A GROCERY STORE Located at 305 Center Street W, the Eatonville Family Agency runs a “Market”-style food pantry twice a week - on Tuesdays and Thursdays - allowing residents to choose their own items in an environment that feels more like a neighborhood grocery than a charity line. The market offers fresh produce, eggs, bread, canned goods, meat, and hygiene supplies. For residents who can’t make it in person, EFA provides drive-through service and home delivery to seniors, people with disabilities, and families without transportation. Every Friday, the agency also runs a Grocery-Rescue program, distributing recovered food from local stores to anyone in the community, no registration or income screening required. “That Friday rescue event is for everyone,” said the volunteer. “If you need a little help this week, you can come by. We don’t ask questions.” During the first weeks of the shutdown, EFA reported a surge in visits - some days serving twice the number of families as usual. A COUNTYWIDE NETWORK UNDER PRESSURE Beyond Eatonville, the broader Nourish Pierce County network operates a web of more than 20 food banks and mobile delivery sites across the region. Its Mobile Nourish program brings groceries directly to communities such as Spanaway, Graham, and Parkland, offering access to rural residents and those who can’t travel far. “We want to make it as simple as possible,” said Nourish Pierce County Executive Director Sue Potter in a recent statement. “There’s no ID, no proof of income, no complicated paperwork. If you need food, you can come.” For many families in the Eatonville area, those mobile trucks serve as an important backup when the local market runs low. Each truck carries enough food for hundreds of households - but even those supplies are being tested by the sudden spike in need. Meanwhile, the Emergency Food Network (EFN), based in Lakewood, provides the logistical backbone for the entire county’s food-relief system. EFN warehouses and distributes millions of pounds of food each year to local partners,
including EFA and Nourish. Their “Find Food” map helps residents locate the closest open pantry by ZIP code. EFN staff say that while donations remain steady, demand has outpaced expectations. “We’re trying to keep every shelf full,” said one coordinator, “but the lines are longer, and they’re filled with people who’ve never asked for help before.” THE NEW FACE OF FOOD INSECURITY What sets this crisis apart, local advocates say, is who’s being affected. During previous shutdowns, food banks mostly served low-income households. This time, federal employees themselves - including park rangers, postal workers, and TSA agents - are joining those lines. “These are our neighbors,” said an EFN volunteer. “They’ve spent their lives serving the public. Now they’re relying on the same food programs that keep others afloat. It’s heartbreaking, but it shows how fragile our system really is.” That fragility is being felt throughout Pierce County, where grocery prices have risen nearly 25 percent since 2020, and even a short interruption in income can mean an empty refrigerator. WHERE TO TURN - AND HOW TO HELP Eatonville Family Agency 305 Center St W, Eatonville • (360) 832-6805 Tues & Thu 9 a.m.–12 p.m. and 12:45–3 p.m. Friday Grocery-Rescue 10 a.m.–1 p.m. eatonvillefamilyagency.org Nourish Pierce County Countywide network with mobile sites in Spanaway, Graham, and Tacoma. nourishpc.org Emergency Food Network Pantry map and food-bank directory across Pierce County. efoodnet.org Those able to help are encouraged to donate shelf-stable foods, hygiene items, or funds directly to local programs. Monetary donations go the farthest, allowing agencies to buy bulk supplies to meet immediate shortages. Volunteers are also needed for grocery pickup, sorting, and Friday distribution at the Eatonville site. NEIGHBORS HELPING NEIGHBORS Eatonville’s small-town character has long been defined by community support, and that spirit is showing up once again in the face of uncertainty. As federal gridlock continues, local leaders say the strength of Pierce County’s food-bank network will depend on that same sense of shared responsibility. “We’re all in this together,” the volunteer said. “If you’ve got a little extra, share it. If you need help, come get it. That’s how a community survives.”

Notes from Eatonville Town Council Meeting Staff Report
T
he Eatonville Town Council met on Monday, November 10, to review a full agenda of town business, including updates to several ordinances, routine budget adjustments, and departmental reports. Councilmembers discussed upcoming projects, reviewed funding for utilities and infrastructure, and considered measures aimed at keeping town operations running smoothly as the community heads into the rainy season. DEPARTMENT REPORT: SMOOTH OPERATIONS IN OCTOBER The Police Department, Water Department, and the Wastewater Treatment Plant reported steady progress and reliable service throughout October, according to the latest monthly reports presented to the Eatonville Town Council. MORE OFF-STREET SPACES FOR LOWINCOME SENIOR DEVELOPMENTS The Eatonville Town Council approved Ordinance 2025-7, updating parking requirements for future low-income senior housing projects. The new rule increases the number of parking spaces developers must provide, raising the requirement from one space per five units to one per four. Town officials said the update is meant to reduce overflow parking on nearby streets. When senior housing projects don’t include enough off-street parking, residents or visitors often park along public roads, creating congestion in surrounding neighborhoods. By requiring more on-site parking, the town hopes to balance housing needs with neighborhood livability and maintain safer, less-crowded streets. COUNCIL APPROVES NEW BODY-CAMERA CONTRACT WITH AXON ENTERPRISE The Eatonville Town Council voted to approve a new five-year contract with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for police body-worn cameras and video storage. The agreement replaces the town’s current system and is expected to save taxpayers nearly $19,500 over the life of the contract. The Eatonville Police Department has been using equipment through a 2021 contract with SecuraMax, but the system hasn’t met expectations. Town staff reviewed options and found that Axon, a widely used law-enforcement technology company,

Clara Forsman continued her upward momentum, trimming three seconds from her 100 freestyle for a 1:08.16, finishing 13th overall. Jane Morrish made one of the most dramatic drops of the meet, slicing 4 seconds from her 200 Individual Medley time for a new personal record of 3:09.61, good for 15th place in the district. Eatonville’s relays showcased the team’s depth and cohesion. The 200 Medley Relay squad of Lily Hays (backstroke), Grace King (breaststroke), Riley Frey (butterfly), and Forsman (freestyle) posted a solid 2:39.60, finishing 11th overall. The 200 Freestyle Relay of Forsman, Stumph, Howard, and Tomyn surged to a 1:59.62, setting a new team record and finishing 7th in the district. In the 400 Freestyle Relay, Hays, Stumph, Tomyn, and Howard combined for another team best, clocking 4:31.37 to finish 6th and earn an alternate berth to the state championships. Hancock said the meet wasn’t just about times; it was about heart, unity, and pride in representing Eatonville. “The Cruiser swim team family is amazing,” Hancock said. “The strength the athletes and families bring to practice and competitions is inspiring. Cruiser Swim is family.”
offered a more reliable platform at a lower cost. The new contract totals about $28,822 spread over five years and includes cameras, storage, maintenance, and technical support. The updated system will give officers better tools for recording and managing video evidence, improving accountability and transparency. It’s also designed to be easier to maintain and more dependable than the current setup. The new cameras are expected to arrive by mid-December, with full implementation expected January 15, 2026.
The resolution states that the Town’s Water Capital Fund has sufficient funds to cover this update. With the amendment signed by Mayor David Baublits and attested by Town Clerk Miranda Doll, the contract with RH2 Engineering is now authorized.
WATER SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE MOVES FORWARD The Eatonville Town Council passed Resolution 2025-VV, approving an amendment to the contract with RH2 Engineering, Inc. to continue updates to the town’s Water System Plan. The council voted to authorize an increase from the previously approved amount of $79,810 to a maximum of $129,795 and extended the deadline to April 25, 2026. The additional funds will come from the water capital fund. The Town’s Water Department is required by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) to update its Water System
COUNCIL WEIGHS DECREASE TO PROPERTY TAX LEVY The council held a first reading of Ordinance 2025-8, which would reduce the town’s regular property tax levy by about $11,472, or roughly 1.4 percent compared to last year. The ordinance will come up for a second reading at the council’s next meeting on November 24. The measure would lower the town’s levy from about $794,322 in 2025 to $782,850 for 2026. The reduction would apply only to the town’s portion of the property tax bill and would not affect taxes collected by other entities such as the school district, county, or state. If approved, the change would result in a small savings for property owners within Eatonville. The exact amount will vary depending on property value, but the decrease would be modest — a few dollars on the average annual tax bill. Town officials said the proposal reflects an effort to limit increases in local taxes while still maintaining basic services.
Plan every ten years. Originally, the update had been extended four years under a prior resolution (2021-H) approved Feb. 22, 2021. But with recent developments, the scope and budget of the work needed to be revised. The expanded scope includes project management, updates to the watershed and water-use programs, a multi-year financial analysis, and additional coordination with state and county agencies. For the residents, this means that Eatonville’s water system planning and management are getting a deeper, more comprehensive review and update. The expanded budget signals a recognition that the town’s infrastructure, regulatory compliance, watershed protections, and financial sustainability deserve closer attention.
COUNCIL REVIEWS MID-YEAR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS The Eatonville Town Council reviewed Ordinance 2025-9, a mid-year amendment to the town’s 2025 budget. The changes align several town funds with current project costs and revenues to keep the budget balanced, as required by state law. The amendment includes adjustments to the Tourism Fund for Local Tourism and Arts (LTAC)-supported events and the installation of a new reader board at Nevitt Park. The Storm Drain Capital Fund was also revised to reflect work on the Associated Petroleum Storm Piping Replacement Project. A major portion of the adjustment involves the Water Capital Fund, which was increased in a separate action the same night. Through Resolution 2025-VV, the council raised the water system plan budget from $79,810 to $129,795 to cover additional administrative and engineering costs. The budget ordinance formally incorporates that increase into the town’s financial plan for 2025.
That sense of family was reflected in how the team supported each other throughout the weekend, from the deck to the stands. Seniors cheered on underclassmen, and every race was followed by hugs, high-fives, and encouragement. The Cruisers also carried the memory of their fallen classmate and son of Head Coach Andrea Stammen, Axel Stammen, honoring him throughout the meet.
Swimmers wrote “#18 LLA” — short for “Long Live Axel” — on the back of their shoulders in tribute to the Eatonville football player, whose number 18 symbolized the strength and unity the team swam with all weekend. The meet was also a celebration of how far the program has come. Eatonville’s swimmers demonstrated sharper technique, stronger finishes, and a competitive spirit that kept them in contention with larger schools from around the region. With the release of state wildcard selections Sunday evening, all of Eatonville’s alternates have officially advanced and will compete at the WIAA State Championships, held November 14–15 at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way. That includes Howard in the 100 breaststroke, Tomyn in both the 50 and 100 freestyle, the 200 freestyle relay team of Forsman, Stumph, Howard, and Tomyn, and the 400 freestyle relay team of Hays, Stumph, Howard, and Tomyn. For the Cruisers, the state qualification marks the reward of a season filled with hard work, personal records, and unshakable team spirit. “They swam with everything they had,” Hancock said. “Every finish, every cheer, every personal record, they earned it all. That’s what being a Cruiser is about.”
These updates ensure that funding matches current expenses and that each department remains properly budgeted through the end of the year. The ordinance received its first reading on November 10 and is scheduled for possible adoption on November 24. COUNCIL CONSIDERS NEW TAX ON PROPERTY SALES TO FUND LONG-TERM PROJECTS The council held the first reading of Ordinance 2025-10, which would add a 0.25 percent real-estate excise tax on the sale of property within town limits. That works out to $2.50 for every $1,000 of a property’s sale price. This new tax would apply only when a property is sold and would be collected at closing along with existing state and local excise taxes. It wouldn’t affect homeowners unless they sell their property. Town officials say the extra funding is needed to keep up with costs for things like streets, water and sewer upgrades, and building maintenance. Over the past several years, some projects have been delayed due to budgeting constraints. If approved, the added 0.25 percent tax is expected to bring in about $70,000 each year, and by law those funds can only be used for capital projects — not for day-today operations or staff salaries. Ordinance 2025-10 will come up for a second reading and possible vote on November 24. If passed, the new tax would take effect early next year after formal publication. COUNCIL UPDATES APPEAL RULES FOR LAND-USE DECISIONS The Town Council approved Ordinance 2025-11, updating the development code to clarify how residents or applicants can appeal decisions made by the Board of Adjustment. Appeals must now be filed with the Town Clerk within ten days of a board decision and include the appellant’s name, reasons, and requested changes. The ordinance also sets a $275 filing fee and requires the Town Council to review and decide appeals at its next regular meeting when possible. Town leaders said the goal is to make the appeal process more transparent and ensure everyone understands the timeline and requirements.

All services are to be performed or supervised by persons appropriately licensed or registered under state laws governing the practice of engineering and surveying. Consultant should also have a minimum of 5 years of design experience. Consultants must be experienced in the preparation of construction drawings, bid specifications, construction cost estimates, and developing preliminary right of way acquisition plans (if needed) for federally funded public works projects utilizing WSDOT Standard Specifications as well as familiarization with WSDOT LAG Manual and FHWA requirements. Interested firms must submit one (1) electronic copy (PDF) of their Statements of Qualifications in an email titled “Consultant Name - Valley Ave NW Overlay Phase 3 Project SOQ.” Consultants are encouraged to submit concise and clear responses to the Request for Qualifications. Responses of excessive length or complexity are discouraged. Statements of Qualifications should be limited to ten (10) 8 ½” x 11” single-sided pages, including cover letter and resumes, with font size no smaller than 10-point Times New Roman. Please include a statement to the effect that the consultant’s project lead and key members, as well as sub-consultants, will not be replaced without prior approval of the City. The selected consultant shall anticipate entering into a standard City of Puyallup Professional Services Contract. Financing of the project has been provided and payment to the Consultant by regular monthly payments for time and materials furnished will be by City check. The city reserves the right to award other applicable phases of the project to the selected consultant. BACKGROUND: The City of Puyallup tracks its pavement conditions and at the time of this Federal Grant application process (for construction), the Overall Condition Index (OCI), for Valley Ave NW, was 71.77. The City is proposing a grind and overlay of this pavement section of Valley Ave NW, between the main entrance of the Valley Ave Business Park and to the approach to the overpass, just west of 27th Ave Ct NW. This would extend the pavement life beyond the current 3-year useful life projection. Any sidewalks and curb ramps deemed to be ADA deficient during design will be improved as part of the project. Determination of ROW and easements shall also be included in the project. The consultant tasks are expected to include: preliminary survey, geotechnical investigations, NEPA environmental planning and permitting, cultural resources review and permitting, preparation of preliminary and final engineering plans and specifications including bid documents, construction cost estimates, preliminary ROW plan preparation and estimating, utility accommodation and planning, stormwater mitigation design meeting 2019 Dept of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington, and other related project tasks. The Preliminary Engineering (PE) phase is anticipated to begin January 2026 and is desired to be completed no later than December 2026. No federal funding is involved in the design phase; however, the construction phase is partially federally funded, so the project must follow the WSDOT LAG Manual. The Consultant will be held to the ADA and Civil Rights language of the City of Puyallup. All work shall comply with current City Standards, as well as State and Federal Regulations. Current City Standards are available for review on the City of Puyallup website at: http://www.cityofpuyallup.org/464/PublicWorks-Engineering-Construction-St ANTICIPATED SELECTION SCHEDULE: The anticipated schedule for consultant selection, contract execution, and work is shown below: November 5, 2025-Advertise RFQ (1st Ad Date) November 12, 2025-Advertise RFQ (2nd Ad Date) November 25, 2025-Statements of Qualifications Due December 8, 2025-City Review of SOQ Sub-
