Man shot, killed in downtown Bellevue over alleged ‘affair’ BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com

HAS THE SEARCH FOR SKY RUN DRY?
Police say they are no closer to finding missing boy than when he disappeared Nov. 6 BY MATT PHELPS mphelps@kirklandreporter.com
Investigators have received more than 1,100 tips in the disappearance of a 2-year-old Sky Metalwala of Redmond, but remain no closer to finding the boy who has been missing since Nov. 6. “None have led to high priority actionable material,” said Bellevue Police Maj. Mike Johnson. But he re-emphasized that anyone with any information should contact authorities. The boy’s mother, Julia Biryukova, told police she left her son bundled in a blanket in her Acura Integra on Nov. 6 in the 2400 block of 112th Avenue Northeast of Bellevue. She told investigators that the car ran out of gas and took her 4-year-old daughter,
Malie, with her to walk to a gas station. The boy was gone when they returned to the car about an hour later, she told police. Bellevue authorities later found there was gas in the car and could not find any mechanical issues. Despite inconsistencies in Biryukova’s story, police have not publicly named her a suspect or person of interest in the case. Investigators have said Biryukova holds the key to finding Sky. Police still have the option of arresting Biryukova for neglecting her son and leaving him by himself in an
unlocked vehicle. In that scenario, police would have her in custody and could question the mother about her missing son. “At this point, I’m not going to say we are going to rule that out…” Johnson said. “But as we stand here today we are not moving down that road.” Police have not ruled out the possibility that Sky may be with other family or friends of Biryukova, Johnson said. Following the initial search Nov. 6, investigators have undertaken several [ more SKY page 29 ]
A Bellevue man was shot and killed at a downtown apartment building Tuesday morning. Police responded to the Belle Arts apartment complex, located at 111 108th Ave. NE, at 10:07 a.m., where they found Jin Kim. Kim was pronounced dead at the scene from a single gunshot wound. Kim was shot after a 43-year-old Redmond man confronted him about having an affair with his wife. According to court documents, the suspect’s wife said her affair with Kim was “emotional, not physical.” The suspect said he could not work and came to Kim’s apartment, who is employed by his wife, court papers said. The victim and the suspect’s wife were leaving the apartment together when the suspect asked to speak with them. There the suspect confirmed Kim was having an affair with his wife. He pulled a nine millimeter pistol and shot Kim once in the head while he was sitting at a desk, according Bellevue Police respond to a shooting at to court documents. a downtown apartment building. CHAD He then threw the COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter gun out the window and waited for police to arrive. The suspect told police he asked Kim to leave his family alone. Kim began arguing with him and demanded $500,000. Out of anger, the suspect said, he pulled the gun and shot Kim, court documents said. “My life is over, and I’ll never see [my son] again,” he said. The suspect is being held on $2 million bail, and police have recommended charging him with second-degree

Approximately 250 high school science students and their teachers got a close look into some of the world’s leading research labs at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center on Nov. 10. High school students from across the state spent a half day attending an innovative halfday science symposium. Most of the students were 10th graders who might not otherwise have the firsthand opportunity to see inside
the world of biomedical science. Students spent the time isolating and spooling DNA, learned the art of micropipetting and used a germ-revealing black light to test their skills at hand washing. Hutch High also involved tours of working laboratories and presentations from Hutchinson Center scientists about sickle cell disease, human genetics, and how our immune systems function.

Gang solutions not easy The other day I was flipping through the cable channels and came across the movie “Colors” with Robert Duvall and Sean Penn. The movie is about two Los Angeles police officers working in the Gang Unit. They deal with generational, entrenched gang issues in certain neighborhoods, and the overall tone of the movie is how hopeless and difficult reducing gang violence can be. The movie was made in 1988, 23 years ago. My point is that gang issues and the high-profile incidents that sometimes result from it are nothing new. The reasons behind the existence of gangs are complex, and any attempt to reduce or “solve” the gang problem is similarly complex. After some recent high-profile gang incidents, it is attractive to look for an easy answer. Deport all the illegals, put everyone in jail, have more guns, have fewer guns. Of course, the real solutions are not easy and will not have quick results. Also, the problem is not specific to any one area or part of our county. So, let’s discuss it honestly and thoughtfully. Gang issues exist in every region of the country and are often cyclical. Like crime itself, rises in gang violence are not directly linked to any specific trend, like a bad economy or reduced social spending. Law enforcement can have a significant effect on crime, and on gangs, but of course it is not the only answer. Enforcement deals only with the most extreme and advanced parts of the issue. You’ve heard the phrase “we can’t arrest our way out of a problem”, and it is true. However, coordinated intelligence, aggressive and targeted law enforcement, and strategic prosecution can have a significant effect on suppressing violence. It just won’t “solve” long-term gang involvement. Steve Strachen

OPINION
www.bellevuereporter.com
We all know that takes a coordinated commitment to working with at-risk kids, the community making gang involvement unacceptable, and we also need to stop celebrating and promoting the gang culture in movies and entertainment. So where does that leave us right now? The fact is, law enforcement agencies in King County have been doing aggressive and coordinated enforcement related to gangs for some time. The recent events have brought more attention to the issue, and the Sheriff ’s Office is a partner with our municipal police departments to track, identify, arrest and prosecute the worst of the worst offenders. Our challenge is to not allow this enforcement effort, and the recent addition of more resources to the fight against gangs, to become the “flavor
of the month” and to forget about it once something else has our collective attention. The heavy lifting of working with kids, preventing gang involvement and violence, and getting members out of the gang life will continue, and we need to remember that it is important, even when the attention fades. Your sheriff ’s office and our area police departments are working together, but we are only part of the solution. Let’s not overreact, or underestimate the problem. A thoughtful and long-term approach is the best way for us to keep King County a great place to raise your kids and grow your business.
Steve Strachan is the chief deputy at the King County Sheriff ’s Office. He has 25 years of law enforcement experience.

Bellevue annexation a ‘no brainer’ The petition to have Eastgate annexed into the City of Bellevue is underway and I have signed the petition. Having one home in Eastgate and one in an adjoining Bellevue neighborhood, this decision was a “no brainer” for me. We heard about the lower taxes and fees, $467 for the average home, if incorporated into the city. But it’s the little things that count, too. For example take Allied Waste. In Eastgate they charge us $16.37 per month for the 20-gallon trash bin we provide and their 96-gallon recycling tote, plus another $10.80 for their 96- gallon yard waste tote. That’s $81.51 every quarter in Eastgate. In Bellevue we get all three Allied totes for $32.13 per quarter because the city has looked out for us and negotiated a better contract. Also, Eastgate is like an island adrift from the rest of King County. When you need to get something done with the county you either have to drive down to Renton or downtown Seattle. Isn’t
it much more logical for us to be driving to Bellevue for our community services? In our dealings with the City of Bellevue, city officials have been friendly and responsive to all of our needs. I wish I could say the same for King County.

This vaccination important for teens With school back in session, Washington school nurses have an important message for parents: if you haven’t had your preteens and teens vaccinated against meningococcal disease yet, the time to do so is now. We want parents to know that vaccination can help protect teens from this serious disease, and it is especially important during the school year. For preteens and teens, many activities that go hand-in-hand with school can increase their risk of meningococcal disease, which can cause meningitis and take a child’s life in one day. Sharing water bottles or eating utensils at lunch, kissing and even staying up
late make them more vulnerable. A recent survey found that nearly 82 percent of preteens and teens participate in these activities, increasing their risk for meningococcal disease. Parents can help protect their children by getting them vaccinated. Meningococcal vaccination is recommended beginning at age 11, with a booster dose by age 18; however, in Washington, roughly a third of adolescents have not yet been vaccinated. We urge parents to schedule a vaccination appointment as soon as possible.

Health coverage for everyone is best Countries that have health care coverage for all their citizens not only do it at a far reduced cost to their economy but also their citizens over all are in much better health than Americans. What prompted this is that I received my dental health insurance dated Oct. 15 stating that my Federal Dental/Blue plan was
being dropped as of Jan. 1. People are reluctant to commit to paying for health coverage because they can be dropped at the will of the company. Those who question why Occupy Wall Street has so much support are not willing to see just how the system is rigged for the benefits of business and, I might add, governments. There are also those who are profiting from the current system and will fight tooth and nail not to have it changed.

Learn to be nice I recently read that the mayoral race in Darrington was run respectfully, without criticizing the opponent. I would encourage them to start a course that every politician, from the president on down, should be required to take and pass before they are allowed to file for an office. Maybe the speeches and ads on TV, radio etc. would be worthy of listening to instead of being relegated to the mute button.

Interlake picked up a fifth place finish in the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:56.68

NEWPORT VOLLEYBALL SEVENTH IN STATE Newport was swept 3-0 (25-20, 25-14, 25-15) by eventual state cham Olympia in its first match at the 4A volleyball state championships in Lacey, but rebounded to win three straight matches to finish the tournament in seventh place. The Knights swept Tahoma 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-21) in the second match on day one before coming back to outlast Central Valley 3-1 (25-21, 16-25, 25-13, 25-22) and then Bellarmine Prep 3-1 (25-17, 23-25, 25-21, 25-16) in the seventh-place match. Olympia defeated Kentwood 3-2 to win the 4A title. Interlake was also swept in the first round of the 2A state tournament, 3-0 (25-18, 25-13, 25-20) at the hands of Selah. The Saints faced Centralia in the second match of the day and fell in another 3-0 (25-16, 25-22, 25-12) decision. Burlington-Edison defeated Tumwater 3-1 for the tournament title.
WOLVERINE WATER POLO TAKES ALL-BELLEVUE FINAL Bellevue has been to the water polo state title game six times in the past 12 years. The first five ended in a runnerup finish. Not in 2011. Without Mercer Island, winners of 11 straight state titles, in the field, the Wolverines were able to march through the tournament and to a 15-8 championship match victory over cross-town rival Newport behind eight goals from senior Jake VanWolvelaere. The offensive MVP scored 24 goals in five tournament games. “He is a phenomenal player and an even better teammate and captain,� assistant coach Evan Kaseguma said of VanWolvelaere. “He’s one of the best leaders we’ve ever had.

For much of the season, the Interlake goal-scoring attack has been the center of attention. But since the playoffs began, it’s been all about defense. The Saints picked up a third straight shutout win to begin the playoffs on Saturday at Sunset Chevrolet Stadium in Sumner, 2-0 over Fife to move into the 2A state semi-final round tonight against Archbishop Murphy. Goalkeeper Catie Getzendaner, along with defenders Desiree Domini, Courtney Fedor, Tara Ghassemikia and Sarah Williams set the tone throughout for coach Kirk Tavener’s squad in the win over Fife. “They are just playing like a tight knit group right now,� Tavener said of his defense. “It’s just a part of the bigger Interlake family.� Conference scoring leader Emma Bergstrom broke a scoreless tie only eight minutes into the game on an assist from Cate Mueller and added an insurance tally on a penalty kick in the 32nd minute. “I am excited that we have made it this far,� Tavener said. “I believe it is partly because of the bond these young ladies have developed.� The Wildcats, which finished in third place in the Northwest Conference, fell to Sehome 1-0 before defeating North Kitsap (4-1) and Sumner (1-0) to advance to tonight’s 6 pm semi-final showdown at Shoreline Stadium, 18560 1st Ave NE.

Sampson, who graduated from Skyline high school before starring for the Bulldogs this past season, was drafted in the 16th round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft and pitched for the Bellingham Bells during the summer. Baumgartner, a 2010 graduate of Central Kitsap High School, was named 2011 NWAACC tournament MVP after driving in six runs on seven hits (including one home run).

Council race too close to call Bellevue unanimous in Council election results passage of light-rail accord BY NAT LEVY
nlevy@bellevuereporter.com
As more votes pour in, the council race between candidates Aaron Laing and John Stokes has gotten even closer. A 127-vote election night lead for Stokes has fluctuated from a high of 169 votes, down to his lowest of 64 after more votes were counted Wednesday. The continued low margins suggest that this race could be headed for a recount. Votes could be recounted by machine if the final result when the election is certified Nov. 29 is less than 2,000 votes John Stokes and a difference of less than one half of one percent. A recount by hand would occur with a quarter percent margin and 150-vote difference. Currently, Stokes leads by .22 percent. “There’s not much else you can do,� said Stokes. “We’re not in control at this Aaron Laing point, so we have to take it day-by-day.� Laing was not able to reached for comment, but he said on election night that he expected the race to be a very close one. He predicted that the margin wouldn’t exceed a 52-48 type of result. Kim Van Ekstrom, communications director for King County Elections, said recounts in King County happen fairly regularly. The last one occurred happened in February in a race for the North Bend School District. Recounts happen more often in small towns where a couple votes can sway an election. These
POSITION 1 Aaron Laing - 14,426 votes, 49.75 percent John Stokes - 14,490 votes, 49.97 percent
BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com
POSITION 3 John Chelminiak - 19,744 votes, 68 percent Michelle Hilhorst - 9,225 votes, 31.77 percent POSITION 5 Claudia Balducci - 19,210 votes, 65.51 percent Patti Mann - 10,048 votes, 34.26 percent POSITION 7 Jennifer Robertson - 21,439 votes, 97.53 percent Write-in - 542 votes, 2.47 percent
recounts are usually swift and conclusive. In a market the size of Bellevue, Van Ekstrom said a recount could take about an extra week. If the race were to be recounted, it would likely by the closest race in Bellevue’s recent history. Since 1999, the closest race in Bellevue came in 2009 when Kevin Wallace defeated Patsi Bonincontri by nearly 1,100 votes, and a 3 percent margin. Previous elections saw many candidates running unopposed or garnering a huge majority of the vote, in excess of 60 percent. But with issues such as light-rail and further development that affect the entire region, Bellevue’s races have become high-profile. Thus far in the race, more than 50 percent of Bellevue’s 66,425 registered voter ballots have been counted. The county is still counting ballots, and reconciling incomplete ballots that either don’t have a signature, or a signed ballot that doesn’t match previous signatures. These ballots regularly represent approximately 2 to 3 percent of all returns, Van Ekstrom said, more than enough to swing the Stokes-Laing race.
It took months of negotiations, countless meetings and days of private sessions, but the Bellevue City Council on Monday gave unanimous support to a light-rail agreement to fund a tunnel through downtown. The 7-0 vote was a proud moment for the council, which has been marred with struggle over placement and cost of East Link light-rail for the last few years. “We’ve had a few frayed nerves and a few loud voices but we’ve kept our eyes on the prize,� said Bellevue Council member Grant Degginger. The prize is a tunnel that could cost in excess of $300 million and keep the train from disrupting downtown activity. Bellevue is on the hook for as much as $160 million, but the city plans to work with Sound Transit to cut costs, and its contribution as well. Bellevue will contribute $100 million to the tunnel in 2014, primarily in donation of land and projects that will help Sound Transit. The city will likely have to shave funds off other projects, or take a look at property tax increases to pay any remainder of the $100 million. The balance of the $160
million is a contingency cost that only will be spent at the end of the project, and could be eliminated if it comes in under budget. Councilmembers Degginger, Kevin Wallace and Jennifer Robertson and Bellevue staff have negotiated extensively with Sound Transit over the past few months to get a more favorable deal, after Sound Transit chose a route the majority of the Bellevue council did not favor. Through this negotiating period, which has lasted since July when Sound Transit chose to run the rail on Bellevue Way and 112th Avenue, the two sides agreed on a raised flyover that eliminates all street-level crossings from Seattle to the Bel-Red corridor. Bellevue also pledged that nearby residents won’t see a train a few feet from their doorsteps. King County Executive Dow Constantine, an outspoken proponent of lightrail, applauded the council’s decision. “Bellevue voters have consistently supported the expansion of light rail as a way to link businesses, residential neighborhoods, and cities throughout our region,� Constantine said. “Tonight’s vote reflects the negotiated outcome between Bellevue and Sound Transit that brings us one step closer
to construction.� While the agreement constitutes an important step forward, there are still numerous unanswered questions, surrounding Bellevue’s method of payment and the final cost that left some council members skeptical. The agreement features several “off ramps� wherein both parties can back out. The city has an out if Sound Transit refuses to adopt the city’s requested design changes. Sound Transit can drop the agreement if Bellevue does not grant a number of permitting changes by the end of 2012, according to the agreement. But that would likely mean an outcome no one wants, trains running through downtown streets, Deputy City Attorney Kate Berens said. Sound Transit and Bellevue now will work closely to make sure this scenario never becomes a threat. After contentious discussions in the council, and between Bellevue and Sound Transit, representatives were very complimentary of fellow council members, as well as Sound Transit staff. Council members hoped this would mean the beginning of a strong relationship between the two sides to create an alignment that will make everyone happy.

Cool Dish, No Ice Cream Maker Required How to make peppermint ice cream using only 3 ingredients – and no machinery by MATTHEW M. F. MILLER
G
EASY PEPPERMINT ICE CREAM Recipe created by Matthew M. F. Miller Serves 12 28 candy canes 2 cups halfand-half
4 cups heavy whipping cream
1. Unwrap candy canes and place in a freezer bag. Seal bag and use a rolling pin to beat candy canes into tiny pieces. Pour candy cane bits into the bottom of an eight-quart freezer-safe container. 2. Pour whipping cream and half and half on top of candy cane bits. Stir until well mixed. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, stirring occasionally. 3. Remove from fridge and stir until blended. Pour mixture into the bowl of an electric mixer. Whip until soft peaks begin to form. 4. Place cream back into freezer safe container and freeze until setup, about 8 to 12 hours.
rowing up in the Midwest, there wasn’t a holiday that didn’t get a little merrier courtesy of a scoop of homemade ice cream. Aside from the Cool Whip-topped pumpkin variety, there wasn’t a pie baked in the twelvemonth cycle that didn’t receive the hand-cranked a la mode treatment. Christmas was no exception. Sure, 12 inches of snow blanketing the Iowa cornfields was enough to freeze your outsides, but has your tongue ever really been too cold for ice cream? Really? On top of pecan pie? Nonsense. Now that I have my own children, I try not to make ice cream the household staple it was in my
youth. Since it’s not a regular occurrence (I prefer to see my feet when I look down) there’s really no way to justify buying and storing an ice cream maker to produce two to three batches a year. At least that’s what my wife tells me. Thus came my inspiration for Easy Peppermint Ice Cream, a three-ingredient recipe for the creamiest, fluffiest, richest and – frankly – cheapest ice cream around. If peppermint isn’t your flavor, feel free to use any hard sugar candy in its place.

How to be a courteous, responsible and interesting guest at this year’s holiday party | by LISA IANNUCCI
P
ut down the smartphone, close the laptop and bid adieu to that stream of Facebook updates for a few hours. When heading out to a holiday party, it’s time to focus on being a good guest – face-to-face. First, being a great guest and having a wonderful party experience starts well before the day of the celebration. “No matter how you were invited, whether by regular invitation or by email, RSVP to it even if it isn’t requested,” says Daniel Post Senning, of the Emily Post Institute, great-greatgreat grandson of Emily Post and co-author of the upcoming 18th edition of “Emily Post’s Etiquette” (William Morrow, 2011). “Even if you were invited to a party or to see a holiday movie with friends through an event invitation on Facebook, make sure they know you plan on attending.” Once a commitment to attend has been made, Post says to make sure to arrive on time. “It’s a small, but important courtesy,” he says. Also, never arrive at an event empty-handed. “Guests should always arrive with a gift for their host, even something small like a bag of coffee, and then send a thank you note after the fact,” says Leah Ingram, author of “The Everything Etiquette Book” (Adams, 2005). “You can send a thank-you gift if you’d like, too.” Now that you’ve arrived, it’s time to mingle. If you’re a bundle of nerves and don’t know how to “work” a party, do not rush in and head straight to the food or bar area, says Dorothea Johnson, founder of The Protocol School of Washington and the author of “Tea & Etiquette: Taking Tea for Business & Pleasure” (Benjamin Press, 2009). Instead, Johnson says that a good guest greets the host first but doesn’t take up much of their time. “You have to be considerate that the host has other guests,” she says. “Then it’s your duty to mingle with the other guests and make your presence known.” Once you’ve greeted your host, it’s time to turn your attention to the other guests. Johnson says she learned a lot from watching former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at parties. “Kissinger would come in, move to the right and look into the crowd,” says Johnson. “I always thought he was looking for someone, but he was making sure everyone saw him. He would greet people and move his way around the room until everyone was in the center with him. He made eye contact and never walked away without saying ’excuse me.’ It was brilliant, and everyone should do that.” If you’re great at online chat, but talking face-to-face leaves you tongue-tied, Johnson suggests going straight to someone you know. “But don’t spend all evening with them,” she says Johnson. “You should expand yourself and your knowledge by talking to people you don’t know.” While you’re enjoying the party, Ingram reminds you that you’re still a guest no matter how comfortable you are. “Understand that you are a guest in their house and don’t make demands of the host as if you were staying in a hotel – make my bed, turn down your music, et cetera,” she says. If you’re the one hosting the party, Ingram suggests finding out ahead of time what food your guests like so you don’t find yourself in uncomfortable situations where the guests aren’t eating or complaining about the food (a no-no) because there isn’t anything they like. Together, a great host and great guests are guaranteed to create a great party.

One Gourmet Meal, All the Fixin’s, Straight From the Box A stress-free holiday meal? Can it be true? Buying dinner in a box from the local supermarket could save money, deliver great taste and lessen the cooking load. Here’s how to ‘prepare’ the meal of their dreams | by BEV BENNETT
A
s you plan your holiday gathering with family and friends, you’re recalling the wonderful experiences of previous years. But cooking the festive meal, which some consider the highlight of the celebration, may not be your fondest memory. Maybe spending a day in the kitchen is as stressful for you as a root canal. There is an alternative, and it’s not making a dinner reservation for 24. Instead, you can order a precooked dinner from your local supermarket. Imagine a roast turkey or baked ham. Mashed potatoes with gravy. Stuffing. Cranberry sauce. Sweet potatoes. Rolls. Dessert. All you have to do warm the courses before serving. You’ll have a traditional menu on the table in a fraction of the time it takes to make it from scratch. However, you may feel a twinge of guilt – aren’t you supposed to work your culinary magic?
Maybe you’re like Missy Chase Lapine, who’s not comfortable unless she puts her own stamp on dinner. That’s why “it’s fantastic to add your personal touch,” says Lapine, author of “The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals” (Running Press, 2007). Decide what you want to leave to the supermarket’s culinary team and what you’d prefer to either prepare or embellish.
For example, maybe you’d like to free yourself from babysitting a turkey for 6 hours. Many cooks consider the main protein intimidating and time-consuming, says Lapine. Let a supermarket assume the turkey-roasting task while you exercise your ingenuity with the side dishes. [ more GOURMET next page ]

MAKE WAY FOR TURKEY “For some people it’s all about the bird. I think people need to be mindful of the things that come along the sides of the plate,� says Julie Jones, Ph.D., professor emeritus of foods and nutrition at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minn. If you’re only seeing white – stuffing, mashed potatoes, rolls – ask for colorful enhancements or add your own. Add the supermarket’s green beans, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and carrots to the order. Switch from white to whole-wheat rolls if you have the choice. Always add your own fresh salad. It’s easy to do and will be a welcome addition for those who don’t want to fill up on starches. “Buy a bag salad; add feta cheese, spinach and walnuts for crunch,� says
The day before your festive meal your refrigerator is about to get very full. Make sure you have room for the food. If the dishes you bring home are still hot from the supermarket, divide the items into smaller amounts and pack in separate covered containers for faster chilling in the refrigerator. If the food was cooked and chilled at the store, place it in covered containers and refrigerate. Your supermarket may offer the option of a cooked, stuffed turkey. If that’s your choice you should buy it hot to eat immediately, according to the food safety experts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Otherwise, purchase a cooked, unstuffed bird to reduce the risk food-borne illness. To reheat a turkey, preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the bird in a shallow roasting pan. Add a small amount of chicken broth to keep the meat moist and lightly cover the bird with heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent it from drying.
Dee Sandquist, a registered dietitian spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association. Pick up raw prepared vegetables in bags; add a yogurt dip and you’re adding nutritional value to the meal, she adds. Although packaged meals usually include a dessert classic, such as pumpkin pie or fruit cobbler, your guests will appreciate a fresh and
light alternative. Offer sliced pears, drizzled with honey and walnuts, or vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt with thawed frozen blueberries.
Insert a meat thermometer into the thigh, not touching bone. When heated through the bird’s internal temperature should reach 165 F. To reheat a spiral-sliced baked ham, preheat the oven to 325 F. Place the meat in a shallow roasting pan, cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and heat for about 10 minutes per pound of ham. A meat thermometer should read 165 F. Heat vegetables and stuffing in covered containers either in a microwave or a conventional oven, using appropriate cookware. Soup and gravy can be heated in a microwave oven or on top of the stove over low heat.

Stress-Free Tips For Holiday Entertaining
Party planning expert, Karen Bussen, offers these easy tips to put any hostess in the driver’s seat of her holiday celebration. 1 Stock a ’Holiday Party Pantry’ Find a place in your home (a cupboard, closet, or a few shelves) where you can collect basic elements to help you pull together a great celebration, even at the last minute. Think platters and large serving bowls for a start, and buy them on sale before the season for the best prices. Then add colorful table accents in your favorite holiday palette – place mats, a table runner, and napkins, along with seasonal touches like a box or two of ornaments you can use as napkin rings or to create a quick centerpiece. I recommend keeping non-perishable food items on hand too,
like spiced nuts, olives, dips, flatbreads and crackers, holiday cookies, even a great pancake mix or Panettone (fluffy Italian holiday fruitcake, available at good grocery stores) for an impromptu holiday brunch. 2 Buy Wines In Bulk Instead of running out at the last minute for Champagne and wine, stock up early. Visit a local wine shop or look online for deals. Most retailers will offer a discount on a case of wine (sometimes even a mixed case) so consider buying in bulk at the beginning of the season and you’ll be ready to toast on a moment’s notice. If you’re looking for a bargain, choose Prosecco or Cava over fancier Champagnes – they are party-friendly wines at a great price point. 3 Raise the Bar I also recommend keeping other bar basics on hand – one good vodka and a single malt scotch, plus a seasonal microbrew, and maybe a fun mixer or two (think Pomegranate martinis) are all you need to host a great holiday get-together.
4 Limit Menu and Drink Offerings You don’t have to serve eight hors d’oeuvres and a fourcourse meal. Focus on quality ingredients and a few delicious dishes. For drinks, serve a white and a red, a sparkling wine, and a signature cocktail that matches your color scheme. I suggest mixing up two pitchers of your chosen libation, setting one out in a pretty pitcher, then keeping the other in the refrigerator for instant replenishment. This way, you’re not playing bartender during the party. 5 Clear the Clutter Look at your space with an eye for mingling and flow. Reposition any chairs or tables that might create a bottleneck during the gathering. Get delicate objects out of the way before your guests arrive. And place food and drinks in several places to avoid crowding.
‘Twas the night before Christmas, When all through the house not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that St. Nicholas
soon would be there!
6 Glow For It Tis the season of light, and candles add instant magic to any holiday party – no flowers required! I recommend keeping unscented white votives and pillars on hand as they coordinate with any kind of dÊcor and make a room feel warm and welcoming. Also, pick up a few holiday-scented candles – pine or pumpkin, for example, to use as accents in a foyer or powder room.

Soda Time! Add a bit of fizz to your holiday party with a homemade soda bar | by LINDSEY ROMAIN 1 DARK CHOCOLATE EGG CREAM SYRUP Makes 3 servings ž cup sugar ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup water 1 cup milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Combine the sugar, cocoa powder and water in a small saucepan, and whisk together until smooth. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat and stir in the milk and vanilla. Let cool to room temperature, then chill. This syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To mix with seltzer: ½ cup ice-cold chocolate egg cream syrup Ÿ cup crushed
ice ž cup seltzer, preferably from a siphon
Combine the syrup and crushed ice in a tall glass. Add the seltzer, aiming it toward the side of the glass to encourage a large white head of foam to rise to the top. Makes 1 serving.
ocializing is one of the joys of the holiday party, but to one likes to leave the conversation to fetch another drink from the kitchen. So bring the conversation to the drinks by setting up a homemade soda bar. It livens up the party and gives guests an opportunity to create their own fresh-flavored drinks. “You can go as high-tech or as low-tech as you want,� says Jeremy Butler, the selfprofessed Homemade Soda Expert who writes a blog of the same name. “It all depends on how you’re making and carbonating your soda, the amount of space you have and how much money you want to put into it.� More expensive routes involve converting chest freezers into chilled keg draft systems or bottling homemade club sodas, but for an easy party set-up, all that’s needed is a carbonated water source and pre-made syrups for guests to mix and experiment as they please.

[ SODA from previous page ] easiest, but be warned: addiICE CREAM SANDWICHES 4 Pop sticks 1. Preheat oven to 300 F. Line baking sheet with Cookies: 2 eggs 1 cup light brown sugar 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted ž cup sugar butter, softened 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon baking powextract der 1 cup chocolate chips 1 teaspoon baking soda 4 cups vanilla ice 1 teaspoon salt cream, slightly softened parchment paper 2. Make the cookies: Combine sugars, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat eggs until light and fluffy; add butter and vanilla and continue beating until combined. A little at a time, add dry mixture to egg mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon. Continue stirring until ingredients are fully incorporated. 3. Drop dough by heaping spoonful (about 2 ½ tablespoons each) onto prepared baking sheet and bake 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and let cool to room temperature. 4. Top the underside of 1 cookie with 1 cup of ice cream and press a second cookie on top. Repeat with remaining cookies and ice cream. Tightly wrap each ice cream sandwich individually in plastic wrap and freeze at least 30 minutes, or until ready to serve.
The volume of flavors depends on the party, but Butler advises stocking up and being prepared. “I always go through more than I think I will,� he says, “so be sure to have extra syrup and carbonated water on hand.� Butler also says to allow plenty of space and to keep a checklist of other necessary items: syrups in easy-to-use dispensing bottles, clean glasses, adequate amounts of carbonated water and lots of ice. Keep cleaning materials nearby, because syrups can create a sticky mess. Purchasing premade syrups from the store may be
tives and artificial sweetening can muddle the ingredients list. Try making a simple syrup by boiling equal parts sugar and water. Or try other natural flavoring products, like agave syrup or honey. “Start with flavors that are nostalgic but basic,� says Butler. “If you can tap into what the main flavor components are in traditional holiday foods, you can probably adapt them into a soda: rum flavor and nutmeg for eggnog, peppermint for candy cane, molasses and ginger and cinnamon for gingerbread.� And don’t be afraid to experiment with more complex concoctions. Add milk to make a frothier, heartier drink, like an egg cream soda. Despite the name, egg cream sodas don’t actually contain egg; they get their name from the foam generated when the milk and carbonated water are combined. Try this recipe for a dark chocolate egg cream soda, excerpted from “Homemade Soda� by Andrew Schloss (Storey Publishing, 2011), or stick to Jeremy Butler’s recipes for candy cane and gingerbread sodas. 1

Sticky On the Inside

Stuffing the bird with sticky rice, a traditional Asian dish, is a glutenfree alternative to bread-based stuffing | by BETTINA CHANG
S
ticky rice. Hot pot. Long-life noodles. They might not sound like holiday dishes, but these are the types of entrees that graced my family’s holiday table when I grew up, both out of necessity and as a tribute to my parents’ home country. Our problem was that of many immigrant families – while we want to celebrate this ultimate American holiday as Americans do, we have our own traditions and (especially before the Internet and Food Network) didn’t know how to make the American foods we saw in the movies. That’s why my family settled on sticky rice instead of stuffing – that glob of cubed bread that my mom couldn’t figure out how to make, nor find appetizing. Years later, I ask my mom to explain the tradition behind sticky rice. In Taiwan, she says, it is customary for a family to give sticky rice with a hard-boiled egg that is dyed red (for good luck) as an announcement of a new child’s 1-month birthday. When the receiving family finishes the food, they return the plate filled with uncooked rice as a symbol of plenty. Nowadays, sticky rice is considered a comfort food that is often served at
celebrations and family gatherings. Caroline Tsao, owner of 527 Café, a Taiwanese restaurant in Evanston, Ill., says that the dish is a symbol of togetherness. “The rice itself is sticky, and there are many ingredients that all combine together for a flavor that everyone loves,” she says. “It means that everyone can stay together and enjoy each other’s company.” The Taiwanese dish is unique from Chinese iterations because of the use of fried shallots, Tsao says. The rest of the ingredients, which typically include dried shrimp, shiitake mushrooms and pork, can vary based on taste and preference. Jen Che, the Boston-based author of the award-winning food blog Tiny Urban Kitchen, says that the recipe is particularly forgiving and open to experimentation. “There’s a lot of room for mistakes and flexibility,” she says. “The sticky rice itself, the texture is so good. You can add more soy sauce or pork, or Chinese sausage if you want.” Although the traditional recipe may call for ingredients that are only available at Asian grocery stores, substitutions are easy to make. Che recommends shortcuts for people afraid of the multi-step process. “The easiest way is to just make the sticky rice separately [in a rice cooker], then sauté the other ingredients and mix it all together,” she says As with all types of comfort food, the best recipe is always the one you’re used to. “I’m sure hers tastes great!” Che says to me as we compare recipes. My mom maximizes the shallots and dried shrimp so she can cut down on salt and soy sauce. Her mom goes for the low-fat option, using less oil and cutting off the fatty parts of the pork. “At the end of the day, we like our moms’ food the best,” Che says.

It started with a darkroom. Images of black and white photography hung from the ceiling, clipped to strings with clothespins, igniting creative minds and inquisitive eyes. Then came weekend trips to nearby islands, and searches for picturesque nature and wildlife. Next: Italy, Japan, Peru, Nepal, Mexico, Kenya. For Lisa and John Merrill of Bellevue, it became an extensive journey around the world, capturing images of people and growing to know cultures of many kinds. And, when they returned home, it opened yet another door of opportunity — a large, diverse portfolio of photographs ready to be shared with the public. Their hobby became a business. Now providing art for galleries, guide books, magazines, textbooks, newspapers and travel books worldwide (including National Geographic Traveler, Smithsonian, Outside Magazine and Geo), the pair are surprised by the progress Merrill MORE they have Images made.

Continuing travels to far and remote places — they now bring along their two children — they pay special attention to the life around them.
culture of the Seattle area, with its mix of ethnicities, backgrounds and traditions. Plus, there is always some kind of festival or event to attend. The Merrills hold contracts with Getty Images, Corbis Stock Images and other well-known photo-stock agencies, and they are proud to have relationships with local clients, businesses and nonprofits. While they continue to strive for artistic perspective and improvement in their photography, they also remember to enjoy their work. “Photography is about experimenting. Photograph what you love and just have fun with it,� said John. Beyond photography, Lisa spends much of her time volunteering for KidsQuest Children’s Museum and Open Window School, and she teaches private workshops. She also is on the board of Seattle Social Venture Partners. John is on the board of directors for Northwest Energy Angels, and works as the vice president of development of utility-scale solar-energy projects at OneEnergy Renewables. During October and November, a selection of their images is on display on the art wall at the South Bellevue Community Center. “This is a great place for local artists who otherwise would not be able to find a venue to hang their art and be easily accessible to their friends and family,� said Dot Long, Bellevue Community Services program coordinator. “It is an inspiration to the beginning artist who after seeing an exhibit thinks, ‘Hey, my work could hang here!’ �

New name, style for Top Foods Crossroads store first of 15 to take on Haggen name
Businesses and business people making news
62 Asian, Hispanic graduates honored at EDI dinner
BY NAT LEVY nlevy@bellevuereporter.com
Haggen Owner Rick Haggen (left) and President C.J. Gabriel watch the final preparations for the rebranding of Crossroads Top Foods to the first King County Haggen grocery store. CHAD COLEMAN, Bellevue Reporter robust wine selection. If the customer does decide to head to the right, a brand new convenience store enclave has been carved out in the front of the store. There customers will find beverages, snacks and other items without having to navigate the rest of the store. “The idea is they won’t have to go through the whole store to get the few items they need,� said Rick Haggen, cochair of the company. Customers told store owners they want bigger, brighter signs and better organization of departments. Haggen officials say they listened. Gabriel said the entirety of the store is laid out in zones, so that people shopping for certain types of goods won’t have to dart from end to end. Produce naturally leads into spices and meat, which leads into dairy, and so forth. This way it keeps shoppers from feeling frustration and skipping over crucial items they can’t find. Shorter shelves and open aisles were built in
response to customer complaints they felt trapped in the store, to a degree. The look of the store has been improved to make the customer feel more at ease, Gabriel said. Murals full of warm colors populate the walls of the deli, produce and meat sections, while new floors and structures encourage customers to take a load off and enjoy a wine tasting or local guitarist. The center of the new attractions is the Discovery Bay, an area in the center of the store that will feature everything from wine and cheese tastings to lessons from local chefs. This spot, as well as benches throughout the store are designed to make the store more cheer than chore. “I’d say the store before was sterile and boring,� Haggen said. “And we want to make it fun and interesting. We want to make grocery shopping fun again.� The Haggen store is located at 156th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 15th Street in the Crossroads area.
The Executive Development Institute (EDI) held a gala dinner honoring 62 graduates with more than 250 sponsors, mentors, friends and family in attendance at the Hilton Bellevue on Nov. 3. The graduates represented emerging leaders and managers from leading Pacific Northwest companies. Karen Narasaki, president and executive director of the Asian American Justice Center, gave the keynote address. Narasaki stressed the importance of diversity in an institution, and having it be a central component of strategic planning. “If your employees and management teams aren’t able to work across cultures and languages, your institution will reach a point, in the not too distant future, where you will not be able to grow, to compete, to maximize your profits or serve your mission,� she said. EDI is the only Pacific Northwest nonprofit organization focusing on leadership training for multiethnic professionals.
Bellevue launches Green Business Challenge Bellevue kicked off a new green business competition last week. The Eastside Green Business Challenge is a friendly competition among Eastside businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and city governments to see who can save the most money and natural resources in one year. The program officially opens registration on Wednesday, during the launch event. To achieve their goals, program participants will have access to tools, services and training offered by program partners. In addition to free services, participants will receive recognition and awards for their efforts. Businesses that participate in the alliance’s voluntary program will be evaluated through a “scorecard� based on key areas such as energy conservation, water conservation, waste diversion, and community engagement. The challenge period will run through 2012.
Airbag Service honored Airbag Service, an automotive safety and electronics services company, has received the Patriot Award acknowledging the small business’ sacrifice that made it possible for 2nd Lt. Dan Pierce, a father of three, to pursue his dream of military service. Airbag Service’s Bellevue service center is located at 1968 130th Ave. NE.

Construction crews perched 30 feet off the ground have taken down the recognized Crossroads Top Foods sign. In its place is the name Haggen, an iconic moniker in the northern part of the state. It’s not just the name that’s changing at Crossroads’ Top Foods, it’s the product, the prices and the style. As of Wednesday, shoppers now experience the airy, colorful signature of King County’s first Haggen Food and Pharmacy. The changeover is philosophical, not in ownership. It is meant to create a more personal, Northwest-friendly shopping experience for the customer. “We’re very much trying to build a store that if you pick it up and put it anywhere else in the nation, it wouldn’t make sense,� said C.J. Gabriel Jr., Haggen’s president and CEO. Bellevue’s Top is the first of 15 stores in the area that will be rebranded as Haggen’s locations. Customers and employees preferred the look and philosophy of the Haggen stores, which were more successful financially, as well. Gabriel said the rebranding has been powered by a three-month-long survey of customers, and studies of competition throughout the country and the region. Gabriel and his colleagues made numerous changes to the store based on these findings. The new ideas hit the customers right when they walk in the door. Many said they didn’t like being forced to the right upon entrance, so the center of the store is more open, featuring a

Rose Dennis writes about events in Bellevue and the Greater Seattle area. She lives in Bellevue. In Bellevue, the number of students participating in AP courses has increased 14 percent; from 2,553 students in 2009 to 2,916 students in 2011. The College Board also looks for an increase in the percentage of exams taken by minority students. Another factor for inclusion on the Honor Roll is maintaining or improving performance levels on the AP exam. In 2011, 72 percent of Bellevue students earned scores of 3 or higher on an AP exam, the same as in 2009.
She didn’t know the family, but being a mother, she sympathized. “It’s said. It’s just really sad,” she said. “I just felt I had to come out and do something.” Johnson said investigators’ highest priority right now is narrowing down the twoweek window between the last time that anyone saw Sky and when he went missing. Johnson said investigators are making some progress on the gathering the details during that two-week window. “We are getting some answers, which is encouraging,” Johnson said Saturday. Anyone with information on the case is encouraged to contact police using the tip line at (425) 452-2564 or email Pdtipline@bellevuewa. gov.

The Bellevue School District has been placed on the AP Honor Roll by the College Board. The award comes as a result of having more students take the Advance Placement tests while maintaining the percentage of students earning high scores on AP exams. Only 367 school districts nationwide received the honor this year.
partner with the University of Washington Medical Center, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance and Seattle Children’s. Many of the patients receive a new liver, lung, heart or kidney; others may receive a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. After the transplant, the patient needs to be close to the hospital, in a very sterile environment, because they have no immune system following their surgery. The average stay can be up to three months and patients come from Washington, Montana, Alaska, Wyoming and Oregon. Many transplant patients were in attendance at the event and one could see in their faces how pleased they are to have survived their health challenges. The fundraising goal was to raise $85,000 so that four new furnished apartments could be added to the current inventory of 18. This ensures that fewer patients will be turned away. With the efforts of auctioneer Patti Payne, they came very close to obtaining their goal. Transplant House also relies on a dedicated team of over 20 volunteers who contribute more than 26,000 hours annually for this great cause. www.tranplanthouse.org
Island and Medina asked people if they remembered anything about the day the boy disappeared. However, nothing materialized from the efforts, said Johnson. Solomon Metalwala, the boy’s father who lives in Kirkland with his younger brother, Sam, has embarked on his own search. He and approximately 30 others gathered at the Bellevue Hyatt Regency Saturday to hand out fliers. He made the trek to Issaquah Wednesday, where Biryukova lived with her mother in 2010. A handful of volunteers sat at the Costco Food Court Wednesday, stuffing fliers into plastic liners, while the rain poured outside. The group planned to hit five different areas in Issaquah and Sammamish, posting photos and descriptions of the boy around town. Beverly Satarelli, a mother of two, came out to Bellevue to help support the father.

other searches or the boy. Johnson said that the search of the 640-acre Marymoor Park in Redmond last weekend, along with a doubling back over Julia Biryukova’s home yielded no leads in the case. Police also used a search-and-rescue dog on Biryukova’s downtown Redmond apartment that didn’t uncover any “powerful investigative leads,” said Johnson. Marymoor Park is close to the Redmond apartment, where the boy lived with his sister and Biryukova. Johnson also confirmed that police have been talking to transients in the area who may have seen something. “Our canvassing is not limited to those under a roof,” said Johnson. There were many media reports of Bellevue police being seen in Belltown in Seattle, where Biryukova’s brother lives. But Johnson said that it is untrue. Authorities also set up a command post on Sunday morning in the area where the car was abandoned, a week after the boy went missing. Along with the FBI, about 20 officers from Bellevue, Redmond, Mercer

I attended the second annual Transplant House auction at the beautiful Chihuly Boathouse and was intrigued to learn more about this organization. It also provided a rare opportunity to again visit glass artist Dale Chilhuly’s facility and Hot Shop. Chihuly is a master artist and master marketer, and his works can be seen in over 200 museums worldwide. Guests enjoyed seeing a glass-blowing demonstration and seeing firsthand where all of his glass collections have been created over the years. We also enjoyed viewing his vast collections of great treasures that he collects: handmade woven Native American baskets and wool blankets; children’s story books from the 1940s; swimsuits from the 1950s to wear in the Chihuly glass pool; and his signature chandeliers hanging everywhere. Transplant House is an independent, not-for-profit organization created by Larry Winn, who received his own a liver transplant a few years ago. The goal of Transplant House is to provide transplant patients and their care givers affordable housing in a safe, supportive, high quality, homelike environment during their pre-and post-operative stay while in Seattle.

“NaNoWriMo� is taking over my life. No, you do not pronounce this strange acronym like I imagined when I first heard it, as “nano-rhino,� conjuring images of a tiny version of the horned African behemoth. It stands for National Novel Writing Month. Celebrated in November, it shares the calendar with Sleep Comfort, Native American Heritage, Peanut Butter Lovers, Model Railroads, Aviation History, International Drums and Child Safety Protection months. An organization called The Office of Letters and Light sponsors the
NaNoWriMo main event, which it calls “thirty days and nights of literary abandon.� This translates to: “write a 50,000-word (or longer) novel between Nov. 1 and Nov. 30; start from scratch; be the sole author; and write more than one word repeated 50,000 times.� The final rule requires you to upload your novel to check the accuracy of your word count. I’m taking the popular fiction writing course this school year through the University of Washington’s Writers’ Certificate Program. Two of my classmates convinced me to engage not only in “literary abandon,� but also to abandon my sanity, free time, social life, and friends for 30 days so that I would begin December with the first-draft of a novel.

ful that first draft turned out, the reasoning went, I would have taken a great leap forward toward a creditable manuscript by the last day of class in June. So far I’ve enjoyed the process of letting my imagination take me where it will, but I expect to have a bigger celebration Nov. 30 than on Thanksgiving Day. Note to friends who live nearby: November could also be National Take a Meal to a Friend’s Spouse Month, or Stop By to Remind a Friend to Take a Shower Month.

More Rainn returns – for fun, good cause
‘Annie Get Your Gun’ hits the target BY GABRIELLE NOMURA gnomura@vellevuereporter.com
Gabrielle Nomura
I love Wilson. First of all, he’s from our neck of the woods, born in Seattle. Second, if you watch the American version of “The Office� you realize there is no one funnier. Third, this evening of entertainment, which will include music, comedy and special guests, is all to benefit the Mona Foundation, which helps women and girls worldwide – that, I REALLY love. Rainn Wilson and Friends at Paramount Theatre, at 8 p.m., Nov. 19, 911 Pine St., Seattle, 1-877784-4849, http://stgpresents.org/.
GIRL ABOUT TOWN
I am on a mission to be a cowgirl ever since seeing Village Theatre’s new musical “Annie Get Your Gun.� Or at least, to look like one. Costume designer Karen Ann Ledger did a fantastic job bringing out the old-timey beauty in female actors, from bandanna sashes and widebrimmed hats to frilly petticoats and lace-up booties. Similarly, the male performers were transformed into boot-clickin’ buckaroos. The costumes and custom-designed sets helped paint a picture of late 1800s Cincinnati, along with the dynamite cast, who pulled off a danceheavy, theatrical Wild West-style show. There were stage tricks, circus acts and numerous sacrificial balloons to help with the sharpshootin’ effect. Audience members who have never seen the musical will be excited to see the origin of such songs as “There’s No Business Like Show Business� and “Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better� composed by Irving Berlin (1888 – 1989), arguably one of the greatest American song writers. What’s more, it still has a pretty kick-ass female lead – Vicki Noon, who plays Annie Oakley, starring opposite Dane Stokinger as Frank Butler. It’s hard to imagine any other actress playing the title role of the sharpshooter Oakley, who in real life
FAMILY
Dane Stokinger (Frank Butler), Vicki Noon (Annie Oakley). Photo by Jay Koh was inducted into the cowgirl hall of fame. Noon, fresh from Broadway musical “Wicked,â€? brought more than simply her famous, powerhouse voice to the mix, which never broke from its rural, Middle America drawl. She simply was Oakley. But the cast member who blew me away was Taylor Niemeyer in the role of the ingĂŠnue, Winnie Tate. While nowhere near as experienced as Noon, Niemeyer, fresh from the KIDSTAGE program, was another force who helped carry the show. From her near-perfect ponche split at the end of the song, “Who Do You
Love, I Hope� it’s clear that this young woman is a triple-threat ready to take the regional, or even New York, musical theater world by storm. These women, and other standout actors, plus the entire spectacle that is the show, make “Annie Get Your Gun� a welcome relief in winter entertainment from all the holiday offerings. For more information and tickets, go to www.villagetheatre.org/, 303 Front St. N, Issaquah, 425-392-2202.

The effort is a partnership by Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission, The Sophia Way, Congregations for the Homeless and the cities of Bellevue, Issaquah, Kirkland and Redmond, King County and many local congregations and individuals. “We want to first ensure the safety and health of all individuals and families in Bellevue and on the Eastside,� said Emily Leslie, human services manager for the City of
Bellevue. “By providing shelter to homeless individuals and families, we’re offering a lifeline and helping them take a critical step on their journey out of homelessness.� The Eastside Winter Shelter for Homeless Men will sleep up to 50 men while The Eastside Shelter for Homeless Women and Families with children will sleep up to 15. The hours of operation are 8:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. The men’s shelter will be at St. Peter’s United Methodist Church, 17222 NE Eighth St., Bellevue.
