PIERCE COUNTY LEADERS SUPPORT FLEET WEEK Tacoma City Councilmember CDR Rob Thoms knows how important safety and trade is for the region and nation. A reserve officer in the U.S. Navy serving at least two weeks a year and one weekend a month duty, Thoms is the public affairs officer for the 2019 SeaFair and Navy Fleet week festivities. While on duty, he hosted more than 175 leaders riding aboard the USS Mobile Bay (CG) and USS Spruance (DDG) from Everett to Seattle for SeaFair 2019. Joining him in support were Pierce County Councilmember Marty Campbell and Tacoma City Councilmember Catherine Ushka. “I made an effort this year to get leaders from the South Sound to participate, as Tacoma and Pierce County is such a trade-dependent region,” he said “We are the gateway to the East and more of Washington's tremendous produce goes through
Tacoma/Pierce County than any other port in Washington state.” America is a maritime nation and freedom of navigation on the seas is vital to our state, our nation and, in fact, the entire world. “I am proud that the U.S. Navy is the leader in the world in protecting freedom of navigation. It is vital to our national security, the security of the globe and our state's economy,” Thoms said. On Tacoma City Council, Thoms represents District 2, which encompasses the Port of Tacoma. “I know firsthand how important trade is to our region and our state. That freedom of navigation, just with all freedoms, isn't given – it is fought for by the brave men and women that serve in our U.S. military. I am proud to serve alongside such patriots and do my part to ensure that our community is better and that America is safe and able to prosper.”

JINKINS SELECTED AS SPEAKER OF STATE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
State Representative Laurie Jinkins (D-Tacoma) was elected to serve as the next speaker of the House of
Representatives in Washington when House Democrats gathered in SeaTac on July 31 to hold the election. Jinkins, who will be the first woman and first open lesbian to serve as speaker of the House in Washington, was elected by her peers among four candidates seeking the position. Jinkins will immediately receive the title of “speaker-designate” and assume several House leadership responsibilities associated with the role. According to the Washington state constitution, acting Speaker John Lovick (D-Mill Creek) will continue serving as acting speaker until the start of the next legislative session, which convenes on Jan. 13, 2020. “I first ran for public office because I wanted to make sure all families have the same opportunities for success. Washington continues to rank among the top states to live,
work, and do business in large part due to the forward-thinking policies adopted by the Legislature over the last 20 years,” Jinkins said. “We made sure all kids have access to health care regardless of family income. We have some of the best colleges and universities in the nation. And we support families by embracing marriage equality, paid family leave, equal pay, and many other polices. I want every family to have the same opportunities my family has had, and that vision will be the guiding force during my service as speaker. “I thank my colleagues for their confidence,” she continued. “This will be the most challenging job I will ever have but I am humbled and buoyed by the support of members of this caucus. For 20 years, we have worked together to improve quality of life on behalf of the people of Washington and House Democrats
are committed to continuing that work for communities and families all across the state.” Jinkins succeeds Representative Frank Chopp (D-Seattle), who served as speaker of the House for two decades. Chopp resigned from the position in May. “Congratulations to Representative Jinkins on her election as speaker,” said Chopp. “One of the many things I respect and admire about Laurie is her commitment to people in need. Her efforts to push for a firstin-the-nation Long-Term Care Trust Act, which ensures our aging population are cared for in their later years in life, will help keep more families out of poverty. She will bring that same passion to the speaker’s office while dealing with the variety of challenges and opportunities facing our state.”

COUNCIL HEARS UPDATE ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY JOHN LARSON jlarson@tacomaweekly.com
City staff has been busy working on the Affordable Housing Action Plan. Tacoma City Council received a presentation on the topic during the July 30 study session. It was made by Housing Division Manager Daniel Murillo and Strategic Manager Jacques Colon. Colon told the council they have three upcoming opportunities to delve deeper into the topic during upcoming meetings of the Committee of the Whole. On Aug. 13 they will examine the multi-family property tax exemption. On Aug. 27 the housing trust fund will be discussed. Inclusionary zoning will be examined on Sept. 10. Colon mentioned progress that has been made on the topic over the past 12 months. This includes seeding the trust fund with $1.2 million, passing tenant protection laws and requiring inclusionary zoning as part of the Tacoma Mall Subarea Plan. While he noted many staff members have been doing great work on this effort, the city needs to continue to collaborate with real estate developers and non-profit organizations. “Housing is not something we have direct control over.” In June staff met with developers of market-rate housing. The tax exemption is for 12 years for projects that include affordable units, or eight years without. A majority of developers have opted for the eight-year option. There has been discussion of requiring impact fees for the eight-year option. Height bonuses are available in some situations. Colon said the city is not seeing that used as much as hoped for. Murillo said two new employees have been hired to implement the housing trust fund. One angle they are examining is what source of revenue would the public like to see used to maintain the fund. Murillo said a program that helps homeowners pay for repairs has been adjusted in response to rising

construction costs. Loans used to be capped at $30,000. That figure has been increased to $50,000. “It is clear we need more housing across the board at all levels,” said Councilmember Lillian Hunter. She has reservations about inclusionary zoning in the Tacoma Mall area. “My concern is that we may have killed any meaningful development in some of those neighborhoods as a result of this requirement.” She asked for data on this for the September meeting. Councilmember Catherine Ushka expressed concern that the tax exemption is unlikely to be utilized in census tracts where most residents have low incomes, as no one will want to develop there. Developers considering the 12-year option will look to build in higher-income neighborhoods, as the rents they would get for affordable units will be higher. She said what many people are spending on rent in small apartments available under the 12-year option is more than what she spends on her mortgage payment. Councilmember Anders Ibsen, who works as a real estate agent, noted that some of the lower-income areas of the city are seeing the largest increases in the cost of living, be it rent or home sale prices. He mentioned a one-bedroom house on the East Side, about 400 square feet,that sold for $220,000 after being on the market for five days. Councilmember Keith Blocker said he does not see how the current housing trust fund will be enough to reach the city’s goals of creating 1,000 units of affordable housing each year. Mayor Victoria Woodards pointed out that during her childhood, her family lived in neighborhoods around the city. She said that was because there was something affordable in every part of Tacoma. She hopes affordable housing units are not all created in census tracts with low-incomes. “I do not think the burden should be put on one particular area but it should be everywhere in our city.”

POLICE SHOOT SUSPECT AT TRAFFIC SHOP On July 21 at approximately 10:45 a.m., a Tacoma police officer made a traffic stop in the 500 block of South 40th St. The male driver and sole occupant of vehicle stopped and exited the vehicle with a rifle, pointing it at the officer. The officer ordered the subject to drop the weapon, but he refused to do so. The officer, fearing for his safety and the safety of others, shot the subject. Medical aid responded and the subject was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital for treatment of his life-threatening injury. The subject is de-
scribed as a black male in his mid-twenties. The department’s Investigations Bureau, to include detectives and forensic personnel, responded to the scene for processing and to interview potential witnesses. The officer, who was not injured in the incident, is a white male, 39 years old, who has been a Tacoma officer for 10 years and nine months. He has been placed on paid administrative leave, per department policy. This investigation is ongoing and further information will be provided when appropriate.
HARMON BREWING CLOSES STADIUM DISTRICT LOCATION the closure. The company is seeking a contract brewing partner to continue production of its craft beers while searching for an opportunity to re-establish the brewery. Harmon Brewing was purchased from the original owners, Pat Nagle and Carole Ford, by a private equity group in June 2018. At that time the company faced significant and mounting debt and unprofitable business operations at each of its locations. New management has stabilized the company’s finances and several of the pubs are now on a path to profitability. The Stadium District taproom and brewing
Tacoma Harmon Brewing Company discontinued brewing operations and closed one pub and restaurant location, The Hub and Tap Room, on July 27. Both are located in Tacoma’s Stadium District at 203 Tacoma Ave. and 204 St. Helens Ave. The closures will allow for further reinvestment in the company’s other operations, including the original location downtown on Pacific Avenue as well as Hub locations in Gig Harbor and Puyallup’s South Hill. Harmon Brewing cited declining revenues and high labor costs in recent years at the Stadium District location as the primary factor for

LIBRARY LOCATIONS COUNTYWIDE NOW HOME TO WORKSOURCE SERVICES Pierce County residents will soon have an additional 18 locations around our region where they can get access to jobseeker and worker services under the WorkSource brand. The Pierce County Library System’s 18 locations have been awarded certification as WorkSource Connection Satellite sites. That means they will provide computers where jobseekers can access online workforce development services, as well as offering free Microsoft technology certifications, WorkSource workshops and programs and more. “This certification and our partnership with WorkSource Pierce will play out with more and better services for people who turn to Pierce County Library for help getting a job or landing a better job,” said Pierce County Library’s Customer Experience Director Jaime Prothro. “Our libraries are all over the county – outside of the major population areas. We help people conveniently where they live, and are committed to helping jobseekers find success in each of our communities.” Certification is a stamp of approval that shows the Pierce County Library has undergone rigorous training and is committed to a high level of service and performance. When a job seeker or worker walks into a certified WorkSource site seeking help to find a job or advance in their career, or when an employer walks in looking to recruit
new hires, they’ll know they’re walking into a site that provides services that exceed customer expectations, meeting high standards established by the Pierce County Workforce Development Council (WDC). Partnering with the Pierce County Library will help bring workforce development services to rural reaches of the county where they may not currently exist, which is one of the chief goals of the WDC’s strategic plan. “On behalf of the workforce development system, I want to thank the Pierce County Library System for their continued partnership,” said WorkForce Central CEO Linda Nguyen. “We are thrilled that we will be able to make services available in communities where our residents reside.” Meeting residents where they are and reaching into historically underserved areas are crucial components to meeting the WDC’s two bold goals: •By 2025, the workforce system will reduce the number of disconnected young adults, ages 16 to 24, by half – from 15,300 to 7,650. “Disconnected” means they’re not working or enrolled in school. •By 2025, the workforce system will reduce the number of residents between the ages of 25 to 64 without a high school diploma or equivalent by half – from 38,475 to 19,237. Check out these additional workforce development services offered by
the Pierce County Library at its newly certified sites. You can find a listing of those sites at www.piercecountylibrary.org/branches/branch-listing. htm. •The Library System offers six Job and Business Centers, located at Gig Harbor, Lakewood, Parkland/ Spanaway, South Hill, Sumner and University Place Pierce County Libraries. Individuals can spend extended time on computers and get assistance in their job search process. •Workshops and programs that will be offered by WorkSource partners will allow those on unemployment insurance (UI) to earn UI credits, including a co-facilitated Job Club that meets twice a month at South Hill Library. •Book a Librarian appointments where individuals can receive assistance from a librarian for up to one hour to work on their individual questions and informational needs. Even without an appointment, customers find friendly, helpful, and supportive staff who offer an array of assistance for job seekers. •JobNow, an online service where individuals can receive online resume feedback and interview prep with a trained professional. •Study room and conference room spaces. •Connection to WorkSource Pierce partners through the Common Referral System, powered by United

AUGUST 2019
Golfers Invade Tacoma Elks For Kids Last Saturday, over 90 golfers from around the state came to Tacoma Elks #174’s Allenmore Golf Course to play in the 11th Annual Garland Family Memorial Fundraiser. This fundraiser is the major fund-raising project for the Washington State Elks major project, and it all revolves around kids! The Washington Elks Therapy Program for Children was started in 1954 when the Elks of Washington realized the greatest need was in the area of therapy for children with special needs. What this resulted in was providing therapy services for children, in their homes – FOR FREE ! ! ! Pediatric therapy is provided by licensed occupational and physical therapists to those who have no other source of therapy service readily available to them. The Washington State Elks Therapy Program for Children provides this service to children ages birth to 21 years. Preference is given to to infants and young children, those who are medically fragile or who would otherwise go without services because of health status. At the present time, each therapist has an average caseload of 25. Among the people at the golf fundraiser were players from all the Lodges across the state. 29 Elks Lodges, companies and individuals sponsored a hole on the course. Even the Washington State Elks Association President Greg Heimgartner sponsored hole 17. After the golf was complete, everyone met in the Tacoma Elks #174 Lodge Room for lunch and companionship. Several items that were donated were used in a raffle and prizes were given out. At the end of a wonderful day that everyone enjoyed, the real winners are the children in

DON’T FORGET: PROCTOR ARTS FEST HAPPENS AUG. 3 If you’re out and about on Saturday, Aug. 3, be sure and stop by the Proctor Arts Fest, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This very family-friendly street fair offers all kinds of attractions – from a big sidewalk sale courtesy of Proctor merchants and more than 160 arts and crafts vendors, to extended hours at the Proctor Farmers Market (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and a special area for children with balloon artists, face painters and chalk art. There will be live entertainment on three stages as well, featuring some of the best bands and performers around. The 2019 Proctor Arts Fest poster features artwork by this year’s Proctor Arts Fest poster contest winner: “Mind Games” by Richard Jahn. In his artist statement at www.RichardJahn.com, Jahn gives insight into his creative process. “I want my paintings to be entertaining to look at as well as an expression
of who I am as a person. I see being an artist as more of a state of being than just a skill of making nice looking things. I want people to feel a sense of connectedness with me as the artist both from the subject matter and from the energy I put into each brush stroke and the thoughts that go into them. I try to keep my theme relevant to who I am and the places I see – the Pacific Northwest. My art is constantly changing, always evolving, always trying new things, never staying the same.” Over the past nearly 20 years, Proctor Arts Fest has become one of Tacoma’s favorite summertime events.

in her new state role. The City of Tacoma looks forward to continuing to partner with Speaker-Elect Jinkins in her new role to identify policy solutions for Tacoma and Washington state.” Jinkins began her career protecting Washington’s children from abuse and neglect and has spent the last 20 years advancing public health. Before her election, Jinkins’ community involvement focused on higher education, improving city government, advancing Washington’s anti-discrimination laws and serving Tacoma’s non-profit sector.

Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards sent her congratulation as well. “Tacoma is proud to be home to the first-ever female Speaker of the House,” she said. “Speaker-Elect Jinkins has been a strong advocate for Tacoma since she was elected to the House of Representatives’ 27th Legislative District in 2011. Her expertise, passion and leadership have been of immeasurable benefit to our community, and I know they will serve her equally well
from Seattle University School of Law (then the University of Puget Sound School Of Law). Jinkins, who began her first term as a state representative in 2011, is currently the chair of the House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee, and sits on the House Appropriations and Health Care & Wellness Committees. Jinkins has championed several legislative proposals that were signed into law in recent years, including bills to reduce medical debt bankruptcies, expand access to life-saving drugs to chronically ill patients, and a first-inthe-nation Long-Term Care Trust Act. Jinkins has devoted much of her legislative career to improving Washington’s behavioral health system.

The corresponding Annual Percentage Yield (APY) for this offer is 2.00%. The Special Rate will be applied to the enrolled savings account for a period of 12 months, starting on the date the account is enrolled in the offer. However, for any day during that 12 month period that the daily account balance is less than the $25,000, the enrolled account will not be eligible for the Special Rate and will instead earn the applicable Standard Interest Rate for a Platinum Savings account. As of 05/31/2019, the Standard Interest Rate and APY for a Platinum Savings account in OR and WA with an account balance of $0.01 and above is 0.05% (0.05% APY). Each tier shown reflects the current minimum daily collected balance required to obtain the applicable APY. Interest is compounded daily and paid monthly.

RWB SEATTLE NO. 5
Come and witness history in the making, as legendary auto artist Akira Nakai creates a custom built 1996 Porsche Targa 1996 Porsche Targa that Nakai will be working on at ACM belongs to Brian Martin, owner of Phantasy Kolors custom auto painting in Snohomish. He will also be the designated painter for his Nakai Porsche, but the color is being kept under wraps until the day the paint is applied. Once finished, the car will remain at the ACM for about six months in a special exhibit space. Accompanying it will be a time-lapse video showing the car being built from start to finish. The timing for the RWB Porsche Build is spot-on to highlight the ending of the “Tuners @ ACM” exhibit launched last November. Tuner cars, just like the hot rods that preceded them in the ’40s and ’50s, have a history steeped in customization of engines, chassis modification, suspension and structure, interiors, paint and body. Changes range from mild to wild depending on their owners, who use their vehicles to express their own creativity and uniqueness. Be sure to check this exhibit out while you’re at ACM. As Nakai works at ACM, the museum will be open during regular business hours so that the public can come in and witness the creation. One-day ticket passes for Sunday, Aug. 11 or Monday, Aug. 12 are available. All tickets holders are free to come and go as they please throughout the day(s) for which the tickets were purchased. Learn more at www.americascarmuseum.org/event/rwb-seattle-no-5-super-street-show/2019-08-11. And learn more about Nakai at https://rauhwelt-usa.com.
One of the leading automotive icons in the world, Nakai is founder of Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB). He is considered a master of his craft, a true artist who creates one-off originals for his many customers around the world. A major event of international interest is coming to LeMay-America’s Car Museum (ACM), Aug. 11-12: the RWB Porsche Build. Over these two days, world-renowned Japanese designer Akira Nakai will build a customized 1996 Porsche Targa, and the public is invited to come and witness this making of a work of art. In addition, Super Street will be hosting a one-of-a-kind outdoor car show on the Haub Family Field on Aug. 11. See sidebar for details. One of the leading automotive icons in the world, Nakai is founder of Rauh Welt Begriff (RWB). He is considered a master of his craft, a true artist who creates one-off originals for his many customers around the world. Originating in Japan from the popular custom drift scene, Nakai is known as a man of vision and insight who not only develops individual works of art based on the legendary Porsche 911, but who has transformed the culture of car customizers. He enjoys a global family of devoted fans, followers, and curators of his distinctive creations. At ACM, Nakai’s skills will be on full display, as will the skills of others from a host of trades: welders, mechanics, upholsterers, body technicians, and talented painters, all working harmoniously. As day turns to night and day again, the build will continue and the recognizable silhouette of his creation will gradually morph into something that awakens wonder and excitement in car enthusiasts and interested onlookers alike. While some Porsche owners frown upon what Nakai is doing, “The art divides the audience,” the man himself observes. In other words, it is a personal preference. Custom cars are about freedom and expression, an extension of ourselves using the automobile as a canvas to express passion, culture, personality, and individual identity. Nakai’s work also prevents older or wrecked Porsches from being stored away somewhere and forgotten. For the ACM staff, Nakai’s upcoming visit is a huge deal and they are joyful over securing this event at the museum. It was eight months in the making, after all. It was ACM’s Annual Giving and Membership Development Manager Kristen Wells who planted the seed for Nakai to bring his RWB Porsche Build to the museum. Last October, she was invited to Lake Washington Cars and Coffee, and there she overheard a conversation about the Porsche build. “The question was raised about doing it at LeMay, and that’s how it all began,” she explained. “At first I was like, ‘No way!’ – we’re a museum with valuable collector cars – but they sold me. Then I talked to our upper leadership and after a few months going back and forth, we said, ‘Okay, we’re in.’” Ever since then, anticipation has been growing. In addition to hosting Nakai, there is also excitement over bringing a younger demographic into the museum. “We don’t want younger folks to think that we’re just a car museum – we’re a destination, a place where cool things happen,” Wells said. “We speak to all makes and models of cars and all are welcome. It’s a car culture thing, so we believe that there are many different car cultures out there and we need to show that we love them all.” To see Nakai work is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity being offered to all guests of the museum, so the more the merrier, especially the youth. “He is, in their eyes, a true legend. These builds are usually done privately, so when it becomes open it’s an opportunity for us to welcome everyone. We all get to see him in action,” Wells observed. Another highlight is that there are just 81 Nakai originals in the U.S., and the one built at ACM will be the fifth such Porshe in the Seattle area. Nakai’s Porsches are very popular in Malaysia and Indonesia, to name just two examples. “The only other live build that we know of was in Australia,” Wells said, making Tacoma’s one for the history books. Owners of the Porches invest a good amount of money to receive a Nakai creation – $30,000 for the body kit alone, and investing at least $100,000 when all is said and done. The
SUPER STREET MEET Sunday, Aug. 11 on the Haub Family Field
In conjunction with the fifth Seattle-based RWB Porsche being assembled live by Akira Nakai at the LeMay-America’s Car Museum, Super Street will be hosting a one-of-a-kind outdoor car show on the lawn next to the museum on Sunday, Aug. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Born in 1996, Super Street is a magazine that’s been on the forefront of aftermarket tuning. With a focus on Japanese sports cars, the brand has broadened its scope to a wide range of import performance cars over the years. Super Street remains one of the longest standing enthusiast brands in print, while also having one of the largest social media platforms in the automotive world with 3.3 million followers on Instagram and 3.7 million fans on Facebook. Super Street at LeMay will be the brand’s first time hosting an event in the Northwest featuring a curated display of the finest Japanese and European cars the local scene has to offer. The top 12 cars will receive special recognition from Meguiar’s and Super Street and, best of all, admission into the outdoor event is free of charge

When it comes to cannabis, safety is essential. It can be hard even for adults to see when edible treats include THC. That’s why cannabis-infused products can be dangerous for those who may think it’s regular food. Some teens may even search for cannabis products at home. But you can keep everyone—from kids to pets—out of risk by storing your cannabis safely. So, keep your cannabis where kids can’t reach, in original packaging, and with “Not for Kids” labels intact.

Judge finds Eyman in contempt over new discovery violations A Thurston County Superior Court judge on July 26 found initiative promoter Tim Eyman in contempt a second time in Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s campaign finance lawsuit. Eyman and/or his company, Watchdog for Taxpayers, have been in contempt on separate discovery violations for 525 days, racking up sanctions of $211,750. Judge James Dixon found Eyman in contempt because of Eyman’s refusal to disclose complete information related to hundreds of thousands of dollars of payments he solicited from individual donors, despite an order compelling him to provide the information. This information was originally due Jan. 24, 2019, and the special discovery master ordered him to produce the information by May 31. The contempt finding is separate from and in addition to Eyman’s contempt find-
Legislative, Executive, and Judicial advocacy
ing for other discovery violations. The court originally ordered $250 per day in sanctions starting Feb. 16, 2018 while Eyman failed to provide the required information to the state. When Eyman continued his refusal to comply, the court doubled the daily penalty to $500 as of Sept. 7, 2018. In the ruling, Judge Dixon found Eyman in contempt a second time for violating the special master’s discovery order. Eyman remains in contempt until he complies with both court orders. “Our campaign finance laws demand transparency,” Ferguson said. “Ignoring multiple court orders and refusing to turn over documents in order to avoid accountability is unacceptable.” As a result of the order, Eyman will remain in contempt until he provides the information related to the Feb. 16 contempt order,

as well as the donor information related to the order. In September of 2015, the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) referred the Tim Eyman case to Attorney General Ferguson for enforcement. The chair of the PDC Commission described the case as “one of the most egregious the PDC has seen.” In March 2017, Ferguson filed the campaign finance lawsuit against Eyman, alleging improper personal use of more than $300,000 in contributions made to political committees, concealment of more than $490,000 in contributions and misleading reporting. The lawsuit also accuses Citizen Solutions of participating in a scheme to conceal campaign money the company funneled to Eyman. Assistant Attorneys General Eric Newman, Todd Sipe and Paul Crisalli are handling the case.
