OH CHRISTMAS TREE The beginning of an annual holiday tradition

BY KELLY MONTGOMERY KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

From the day after Thanksgiving to Christmas day, it’s very common to see people driving with a tree strapped down on top of their car. For many, it’s an annual tradition. You get the tree, set it up in the corner of your living room, and take in the holiday aroma as you listen to Christmas music, drink hot cocoa and decorate your tree. But wouldn’t it be more satisfying knowing that tree was sawed down with your very own hands? Lucky for you, there are numerous tree farms in the area that can provide you with an annual holiday tradition of cutting down your own Christmas tree. And if you’re just not in the mood, there are also pre-cut tree options. Trinity Tree Farm in Issaquah has been selling trees since the 1980s, but the Dutro family has owned it since 1996. “We have really focused on growing beautiful Christmas trees and providing our customers with an annual holiday tradition to visit our farm,” said

Glenn Dutro, owner of Trinity Tree Farm. Dutro said that Trinity Tree Farm is a festive family-oriented place to select and cut your own Christmas tree, but they also have a healthy selection of precut trees to choose from. They offer assistance loading the tree onto your vehicle, a complimentary tree tie down, complimentary hot beverages, train rides for children at an additional charge, two fire pits where people can relax and warm up, an antique fire engine for a photo opportunity and food stands that serve hot dogs, kettle corn, nachos,

pretzels, snacks and refreshments. “Our farm offers a close in but natural woods-like setting,” Dutro said. “The farm is on top of a hill and offers beautiful views of Squak, Tiger Mountain and Mount Rainier. We pride ourselves on offering the best customer service possible. We will help out in any way to make your tree hunting experience a great time.” Serres Farm in Redmond planted their first Christmas tree in 1987. Bill Serres said the trees grow about a foot a year, so they didn’t start harvesting their trees

“We provide you the saw, and you cut down your perfect tree.” – Bill Serres until 1992. Serres, owner and operator of the family owned 24-acre Serres Farm, said they offer u-cut trees of all sizes, from 4 to 24-feet. “We provide you a saw, and you cut down your perfect tree,” he said. After finding and cutting the perfect tree, Serres said people can help themselves to hot coffee or homemade cookies made by SEE TREES, 13

In a special meeting held Nov. 9, the Issaquah City Council voted 5-1 with council member Josh Schaer voting no, and Tola Marts absent, to hold the Klahanie annexation special election Feb. 11, 2014. The King County council has yet to weigh in on the issue, but will discuss it at its Dec. 16 meeting. If annexed, the Klahanie annexation area would be subject to Issaquah’s zoning regulation, assume a proportionate share of the city’s then outstanding indebtedness and be assessed and taxed at the same rate and upon the same basis as property within the city.

City seeking pro-con views To prepare for the election and educate voters about the issue, the city is seeking community members to serve on pro and con committees. The pro and con committees will consist of members of the public who agree to write a statement in favor of or in opposition to annexation. That information will then be included in the King County Local Voters’ Pamphlet that is mailed to voters before the election. Three people will be needed for each committee. Please submit your name and information by 5 p.m. today, Dec 13.

King County Council encourages awareness of Drowsy Driving dangers The Metropolitan King County Council recognized the importance of increasing awareness of Drowsy Driving Tuesday, Dec. 10. “I heard the statistics on the numbers of people who drive drowsy,” said Councilmember Kathy Lambert. “It is vital as we approach the busy holiday season to remind people of the seriousness of this issue and the number of accidents and deaths caused each year.” Recent statistics state that drowsy drivers cause 1,550 deaths, 71,000 injuries, and more than 100,000 accidents each year in the U.S. This includes 16 deaths and 60 serious injuries in Washington state as recently as 2010. Lambert was joined in this recognition by Bill Shaw, regional publisher of the Bellevue Reporter, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter, Mercer Island Reporter and Snoqualmie Valley Record. Shaw was joined by his wife, Mary Beth. Their daughter, Mora, was severely injured in an accident caused by a drowsy driver in 2006. She survived, but went through many years of treatment. Since this accident, the Shaw’s have embarked on a crusade to make the public more aware of this major impediment to safe

driving. “The Shaw’s story touched my heart and I am so glad that Mora survived,” said Lambert. “Their commitment to public education and knowledge of this important issue is commendable. I was very glad to help participate with them to increase awareness by sponsoring this recognition.” Some important points to remember about drowsy driving are: Anyone can fall asleep while driving – more than one third of drivers report falling asleep behind the wheel. There are some common sense things one can do to make driving safer: For maximum alertness, get enough sleep before your trip. Take a mid-afternoon break, and avoid driving between 2-6 a.m. Take a passenger to keep you talking, watch for signs of sleepiness, and share the driving. Schedule a break every two hours or 100 miles to take a quick nap or get some exercise. Consume a caffeinated drink or food to boost your short-term alertness. More information on drowsy driving is available at www.drowsydriving.org.

Kathy Huckabay will begin her Sammamish City Council tenure in a couple of weeks, and as a former council member, she couldn’t be more ready. Huckabay was elected to the first Sammamish council in 1999 and served for 10 years, one of which was as mayor. And she already has a couple items on her agenda for January, including discussing the long-debated issue of Sammamish creating its own fire department. Approximately one year ago, Huckabay was invited by the current city council to look at how fire services could best be provided to the community. As one of Sammamish’s founding council members, Huckabay has believed for some time that the city should have its own fire service. And with a Jan. 17 deadline quickly approaching to keep the current arrangement, Huckabay’s first couple weeks should be nothing less than exciting. “It’s been left to the very last minute,” Huckabay said. “There’s an awful lot still on

the table.” Another item on Huckabay’s agenda is increasing city staff. “We have excellent, talented and well-educated staff,” Huckabay said. “But now that we’re going into the comprehensive plan, we need to reach out the community and get a sense of what the community wants. All of that needs to be polled, and we don’t have enough staff right now to do that. Now that we’re growing again, we could definitely use some additional resources.” Huckabay said she is looking forward to working with the other council members.

She explained that on the original council, despite having many political differences, they were able to put their differences aside, work together and focus on putting together a great city. Huckabay said that the current council hasn’t gotten along as well as she would hope. “I don’t see that sort of collaborative effort,” she said. “And I’m very interested in making sure that we have a very collaborative council, that all of the city council members are fully informed, and, more importantly, that we bring the citizens into the process.”

‘TIS THE SEASON That ‘bah humbug’ feeling takes a turn for the better

T

he Christmas season traditionally has been a “bahhumbug” time for me. Maybe it’s the extra “pressure” of trying to find the “right” gift or that I spend more time in the malls for the requisite shopping than I do celebrating the season with friends and family. It also hasn’t helped that putting up outdoor Christmas lights is a battle I always lose with the roof. Whatever the reason, it’s made December a month I wanted to avoid. It hasn’t helped that for the past two decades or so, my wife and I have driven down to the Portland area to deliver gifts to family. Too often the trips have turned into a long slog as we get hammered by the Craig Groshart winter weather that always seems to show up between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We’ve endured heavy rain on many trips, snow on others and even one night of freezing rain as a storm blew through the Columbia Gorge. That resulted in a whiteknuckled, two-hour ordeal just to get from Sandy, Ore., to a few miles north of Vancouver where the weather mercifully released its grip. We still shudder when we tell the tale. So, to say I was surprised by our trip last weekend would be a huge understatement. The weather was cold, of course, but the sun almost made it look like summer and the traffic was unbelievably light. There was nary a raindrop in sight. Without the worry of the weather, the visit became a funfilled trip, including meals at the family farm and later at a restaurant where we treated for dinner. Even our good deed of buying evergreen swags and wreaths on Sunday’s drive home continued the ideal traffic conditions all the way to our garage. The good feelings have continued since our return. My wife and I are limiting our mall foraging to brief excursions and I actually got the outdoor Christmas lights up before it rained and did it with little, if any, screaming. So, are my Grinch-like days over? Maybe so. I recently caught myself saying “ho, ho, ho.” – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter ISSAQUAH | SAMMAMISH

Annexation: What’s best for Klahanie, Issaquah, Sammamish?

W

e know the level of service the county provides Klahanie and can only expect it to not improve and likely decline. We know that the level of service Issaquah is planning by the Nesbitt Study is pretty minimal. The council went out of its way to make it very clear that any transportation projects for Klahanie were going to the David Kappler bottom of the list that includes the Providence Point signal from 2002 and safety improvements to NW Sammamish for the Greenwood Point annexation from 2005, which in both cases are now shown in the “Beyond 2019” column. Klahanie would only be a suburb for Issaquah and will only be neutral in cost with the limited service levels in the Nesbitt study, essentially no transportation improvements and an uncertain state subsidy.

?

Question of the week: “Are you prepared for winter weather emergencies?”

For Sammamish, Klahanie is an important part of their city to make it as efficient and sustainable as possible. Sammamish has over three miles of important roads adjoining Klahanie and their residents in the northeast part of their city have a great need for Issaquah-Fall City Road improvements. Sammamish has essentially no bonded indebtedness and a huge amount in the bank. I heard a couple Sammamish council members say they would annex Klahanie without the state sales tax subsidy. I couldn’t figure out why they would leave that money on the table. I suggested that money would be great for park improvements and helping Eastside Fire and Rescue with the big loss to District 10 revenue with present Klahanie revenue only being replaced by about 40 percent by Issaquah. After further investigation I find out that Sammamish can so efficiently and sustainably serve Klahanie that it does not even qualify for the state money SEE KAPPLER, 5

You check to see when it will become available, but the next time it will become available is the next month. This happens because there are only two of these books in circulation.

Chef John Howie receives Hunger Warrior Award Chef John Howie, owner of Seastar and John Howie Steak restaurants, recently received the first Washington state Hunger Warrior Award at the 22nd annual Lawyers Helping Hungry Children luncheon at the Grand Hyatt in Seattle. Howie was recognized for his ongoing efforts to end hunger. Since 2002, Howie has raised more than $4.5 million through charitable donations, time, products and gift certificates.

The Hunger Warrior Award was given by Lawyers Helping Hungry Children, a Washington nonprofit dedicated to ending hunger in the local community and around the world. Howie was the keynote speaker for the event and was then surprised by being presented with the Hunger Warrior Award Howie has always vowed to never say no to charitable giving, each year providing goods and services to more than 750 nonprofits.

y son recently received a unicycle for his birthday. The circus arts are encouraged at his school so he’s been practicing in the gym for months. The driveway is already filled with ramps for skateboards, scooters and bicycles and he wanted one more conveyance to ride off a jump. The daredevil gene runs a mile wide in my family as is evident by the monthly bills from Swedish. The kids did not inherit this from me. Darcy Brixey After only a few tries, my husband also has mastered the unicycle. My daughter smartly declined the offer to try as she was in a corner practicing her karate. I failed miserably on the first attempt, but I’ll try again, most likely when nobody is looking. Life is short and there is still so much to learn. In order to spare my limbs, I’ve decided to hone other skills to keep current in technology and business. In other words, I’d rather strain my eyes in front of a computer screen than strain my neck in a spectacular unicycle crash. Due to a generous partnership between the Washington State Library and Microsoft, and support from the Legislature, 427 public, college and tribal libraries in the state are able to provide courses to people in the state of Washington from the Mi-

crosoft IT Academy. These courses are free through June 2015. Information and access to the IT Academy can be found on our database page, kcls.org/databases. As a first time user, you will need to enter your library card and create a free Microsoft Live ID. You can also use an existing account if you already have one. The courses cover things from digital literacy foundation skills to advanced networking and business skills. You will not need to purchase a text book or other resources. There is a free digital textbook, a test bank, as well as e-learning and lesson plans. These are helpful, but not required. There are many benefits to taking advantage of this training. The free training will help guide you toward industry recognized certifications. The job market in the 21st century is rapidly evolving and extra training will prepare job seekers to adapt in this changing environment. The library is at the forefront of this endeavor to ensure free and equal access to all. There may even be an office out there that requires unicycle skills. I’ve signed up for a few courses and look forward to learning new skills. The classes might cut in to my unicycle practice, but I’ll bring a helmet just in case.

Klahanie people need to start talking about loving Klahanie and what is in its best interest long term. Sammamish has suggested it can do great things for the residents of Klahanie and the residents of their city by annexing Klahanie. I think it is time to have Sammamish put their commitment through a public process.

at total buildout the campus will include 427,000 square feet. White said the college will start with one or two buildings, but this is a 20 to 30-year plan. At total buildout, 4,000 students could be accommodated. "If we have a strong reason to get bulldozers in there, it would still be about three years before we'd open the doors," White said. One thing that could jump start it is to have a partner, White said, such as a professional-technical program that has immediate training needs. Bellevue College is building a new health building on its main campus in Bellevue. But with the population growth Issaquah and the Eastside are experiencing, White said that could spur them on to move dirt. "We have some potential candidates for the site, some early programs," White said. Some of those include continuing education, retreat facilities, and very targeted high school programs such as STEM. White said that given the location of the campus, environmental sciences would be a good fit. The 20-acres the college owns includes a wetland and abundant forested area. "We're going to use as little as we can – maybe 10 acres," he said. The city is reviewing the site plan, which will more than likely come before the City Council sometime in January.

Swedish Issaquah named ‘Top Hospital’

Swedish Issaquah has been named as one of the “Top Hospitals” in the nation at providing the highest quality of patient care, according to The Leapfrog Group’s annual survey of more than 1,300 hospitals. The survey compares hospitals performance on the national standards of safety, quality and efficiency. In its first year of eligibility Swedish Medical Center’s Issaquah campus earned the distinction, one of only two hospitals in Washington state. Virginia Mason in Seattle was the other recipient. The organization surveyed 1,300 hospitals nationally. Swedish Issaquah, which opened in 2012, is one of only 55 urban hospitals named as a Top Hospital by Leapfrog, which also recognized 22 top rural hospitals and 13 to top children’s hospitals. “It is an honor for Swedish/Issaquah to be named by The Leapfrog Group as one of the Top Hospitals. Swedish/ Issaquah takes pride in representing a culture of the highest standard of care,” said Chuck Salmon, chief executive of Issaquah and Swedish Ambulatory Care Centers.

“There was a lot of potential, but there were a lot of problems.”

Issaquah dermatologist Dr. Arlo Miller and his wife, Johanna Miller, are teaming up with local icon Santa Al to deliver Christmas gifts to children with cancer and their families. Johanna Miller, a former oncology nurse, said she understands the terrible strain that cancer can cause, not only for patients but also for their loved ones. “I’m a mom to two little girls and I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to try to make Christmas special when you’re dealing with the financial and emotional toll of a serious illness,” she said. “When we heard about Santa Al and the work he is doing, Arlo and I decided that this would be the perfect way for us to give back.”

Between Dec. 1-20, all profits from cosmetic treatments and product sales will be donated to Santa Al to provide holiday gifts and assistance for local children and family members.

Officials offer tips on holiday safety The State Fire Marshal’s Office is offering residents a number of tips to be fire safe with their holiday decorations, especially Christmas trees. ■ Needles on freshly cut trees should be green and hard to pull back from the branches, and the needle should not break. A dried out tree can be identified by bouncing the tree trunk on the ground, if many needles fall off, it has dried out and is a fire hazard. ■ Cut your tree at 45-degree angle. Keep the tree stand filled with water at all times and at least three feet away from heat sources. ■ Use only lighting that has been listed by a nationally recognized laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Inspect holiday lights each year for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets.

Eastside Catholic falls to Bellevue in 3A state title game

Crusaders state runner-up for second straight year, second time in school history after falling 52-20 BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Eastside Catholic knew to beat the five-time defending state champions from Bellevue, they would need a nearflawless effort. Instead they were left lamenting missed opportunities after the Wolverines forced four turnovers in a 52-20 win for the 3A state title. “We needed to play better,” Eastside Catholic head coach Jeremy Thielbahr said. “That’s a great ballclub over there.” The Crusaders drove inside the Bellevue 20-yard line on the game’s first drive. But an interception in the end zone from senior Tim Haehl set the tone and led to a score from the Wolverines’ senior tight end Ross Conners six plays later for a 7-0 lead. Sophomore quarterback Harley Kirsch pulled his team within seven in the second quarter with a one-yard quarterback sneak to cap an eight play drive that covered 57 yards. But three Bellevue touchdowns in the final four minutes SEE CRUSADERS, 9

Returning starters abound for EC heading into 2014

CRUSADERS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8

BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

Eastside Catholic will once again be a favorite to get back to the Tacoma Dome and 3A state title game in 2014, bolstered by a host of returning starters. Quarterback Harley Kirsch will spearhead the effort once again on offense, and will enter his junior season as a potential first team All-Metro selection after throwing 35 touchdowns and only three interceptions this season. Only one player with more than 20 carries graduates in running back Henry Jarvis, who returned from an injury to start the title game. His 1,085 yards and 14 scores (in only 10 games) will be certainly missed. But with Jarvis and short-yardage specialist Elisha Pa’aga as the only losses, EC will welcome back a host of backs that combined for more than 1,000 yards and 20 touchdowns. While Colin MacIlvennie and Colin Boit graduate from the receiving corps, dynamic playmakers will once again stretch opposing defenses as Devon Arbis-Jackson (72 catches, 1,113 yards, 15 scores), Brandon Wellington (17.8 yards per catch average) and Matt Laris (30 catches, 431 yards, 4 scores) return with another year of seasoning. Pa’aga will be missed on both sides of the ball for the Crusaders after finishing the year as the second leading tackler. But only four of the top 15 players in that category were seniors this season. Wellington ended the year with four interceptions, and three other players with two come back in Jimmie Jolliffe, Jonathon Webster and Jake Jackson.

Kirsch (10) and two-way threat Brandon Wellington will be back for junior seasons in 2014, when EC will again be a threat to reach Tacoma. JAMES KIRKISH, The Shuttered Image

of the half, bolstered by a fumble recovery deep in Crusaders’ territory, put things out of reach and ended EC’s hopes of the program’s first state title. “We’ve just got to compete at a higher level, more consistently,” Thielbahr said. Senior running back Henry Jarvis returned from injury and finished with four carries, but a stingy Bellevue defense held the Crusaders to just 24 yards on the ground for the game. Kirsch finished with 27 completions on his 37 attempts, with two interceptions and a touchdown pass to senior Colin MacIlvennie on the game’s final play. Thielbahr praised his team’s growth throughout the year, and Goncharoff said there was little doubt EC would again find itself in prime position to challenge for more titles in coming years, with a bevy of talented underclassmen led by Kirsch. “I believe in this team,” Thielbahr said. “I believe in our kids.”

Claire Wright places in top 10 at National Miss America pageant BY KELLY MONTGOMERY

KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

After winning Miss Washington Junior Teen in August, 16-year-old Claire Wright recently represented Washington state as she competed in the national pageant competition, finishing in the top 10. Wright said she started doing pageants in seventh grade after being bullied in some of her regular activities. In her very

first pageant, she finished in the top 15. It was a perfect fit. "The pageant system I'm in works closely with USA and Miss America, so this is the biggest pageant system for girls my age," said Wright, who lives in Sammamish and is a sophomore at Eastside Catholic School. The National America Miss Pageant was held in Anaheim, Calif. Wright said it was an amazing experience, and she enjoyed meeting so many girls from all over the nation. Pageant participants are judged based on categories, including a personal introduction, an interview and formal wear. In place of a talent, participants are able to choose from five different options, ranging from modeling to acting. Wright chose to compete in the spokesmodel competition, where she talked about the dangers of texting while driving. With that speech, Wright ended up placing fifth in her category. And while public speaking may be horrifying to some, Wright loves it. "I want to be a broadcast journalist," she said. "So it's pretty easy for me to get up and talk to people." The interview, on the other hand, is a different story. Wright said she has a harder time talking one on one with a judge, especially without knowing what to expect. "I never know what they're going to ask me, so I can't prepare," she said. As far as future plans? It sounds like Wright knows what she wants. "I'm very interested in Pepperdine University," she said. "Hopefully one day I will be on a national news show like Good Morning America or The Today Show."

Wright said her family is her biggest support system, with her mom coming to all of her pageants to help her prepare. "She's totally there, the entire time supporting me," she said. "I wouldn't be able to do it without her." Only a sophomore in high school, Wright has some time to prepare for whatever lies ahead. For now, she is thankful for the opportunities she has been given and said she wants to enjoy her reign as Miss Washington Junior Teen. Wright will continue to make appearances, deliver speeches and volunteer in the community until August when she travels back to the Miss Washington Junior Teen competition to crown her successor. She is also the president of the National Charity League's Sammamish chapter, a member of her school's leadership program and will be starting lacrosse for the first time in February.

And if you want your tree to last, Serres said it’s important to follow certain instructions. “The main thing on a tree is that as soon as it’s cut and as soon as you can, get it in water. It will start pulling water up right away, and it will stay green and fresh. Make sure you have it in a stand with water. If you leave it out even for a short period of time, it won’t pull water up. If you have a good tree and you handle it well, it will last from Thanksgiving to Christmas – just don’t let it run out of water,” Serres said. Dutro and Serres explained that many families attend the farms year after year because it becomes a family tradition. They

Wilhelm selected as drug-grant coordinator Liz Wilhelm has been selected as the project coordinator for the federal Drug Free Community grant awarded to the Issaquah Coalition and city of Issaquah in September. The grant, which will bring $125,000 per year for up to 10 years to the Issaquah School District service area, is aimed at reducing teen alcohol, marijuana and prescription drug abuse. Hiring a local project coordinator to oversee a coalition work plan and funding expenditures is a requirement of the grant. Wilhelm, an instructor at both the University of Washington and Seattle Central Community College, previously served as project coordinator for a Drug Free Community grant in Kitsap County. She authored Seattle Central’s prevention curriculum. She is a past-president and current board member of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Violence Prevention, and a former board co-chair of the King County Community Organizing Program. She has professional and personal ties to the greater Issaquah area. “We are so excited to have someone of Liz’s caliber joining our team,” said Katie Moeller, chair of the Drug Free Community Coalition. “We think Liz is a good match for our community and will bring a highly professional level

Overlake Alumnae Association raises funds for scholarships BY KELLY MONTGOMERY KMONTGOMERY@ISSAQUAHREPORTER.COM

The Overlake Alumnae Association fundraising luncheon at the Sahalee Country Club on Dec. 5 raised about $2,500 for high school scholarships. “Money raised at the luncheon funds OAPH scholarships for qualified high school senior women who plan to attend colleges or universities with National Panhellenic Conference chapters. It’s always a fun event where you can enjoy good friends, good food and a good cause,” said Jean Cerar, an Overlake Alumnae member and past president. A community-based group affiliated with the National Panhellenic Conference, the Overlake Alumnae Association is composed of alumnae from group sororities and focuses on the development of young women from the Eastside. Their purpose is to inform sorority women of current trends, to promote the sorority system, to improve the Panhellenic image and to stimulate a continuing interest in Panhellenic affairs. This was their first year hosting the luncheon fundraiser at Sahalee. “We had 91 reservations which in-

cluded Overlake Panhellenic members, other sorority alumnae and guests,” said Ellyn Sewell, Overlake Alumnae Panhellenic president. Sewell said the event was a wonderful holiday and panhellenic sisterhood event, and Sahalee went the extra mile to make them feel welcome and provide a first class lunch. “All in all, it was a very successful day,” Cerar said. In May, the 2013 scholarship recipients were announced in an award ceremony at a local school. Nellie Hoehl from Issaquah High School, Stacey Hurwitz from Liberty High School and Katrina LaTurner from Eastlake High School were three of the recipients. Hoel is attending Samford University in Birmingham, Ala., while Hurtwitz and LaTurner attend the University of Washington. The application deadline for 2014 scholarships is April 2. Sewell said that high school senior girls who are considering membership in a college sorority are encouraged to apply. Overlake Alumnae Association will also sponsor a College Sorority Information Forum during the first week of March at the Bellevue Regional Library.

Issaquah gets a ‘best city’ designation Issaquah is No. 1 on real estate web site Movoto’s survey of the top 10 cities in the state, not only for having one of the “cooler” names on its list, but also for scoring well in almost all of the website’s criteria. Movoto looks at the “lighter side of real estate,” directed by self-proclaimed data nerd Chris Kolmar. The website states “Issaquah is one of the best cities in Washington when it comes to hiking — it’s just over two miles away from some of the best trails in the area. It also has a ton of seafood restaurants and coffee shops per capita, making its overall rank in amenities pretty good. Of course, quantity doesn’t always mean quality,

of expertise to our planning and outreach processes.” The Drug Free Community Coalition was initiated in 2011 as a standing sub-committee of the Issaquah Community Network. The coalition is composed of 12 sector representatives, including youths, parents, schools, business, media, civic organizations, faith-based organizations, the medical profession, law enforcement, organizations serving youth and local and government agencies involved in reducing drug abuse. The coalition has about 40 members representing all geographical areas of the Issaquah School District. In recent months, the coalition supported a King County board of health proposal to implement a countywide prescription drug take-back program, mobilized community support for re-location of the Issaquah Skate Park (a frequent site for drug activity) and sponsored a forum about the impacts of marijuana legalization on teens. “I believe strongly that the community coalition process brings lasting, beneficial change, Wilhelm said. “The Drug Free Community Coalition is an energetic, inviting group committed to generating healthier neighborhoods for the families living, working, and visiting in the Issaquah School District. I am thrilled to be an active part of this momentum and to lend whatever expertise I can.”

but it looks like Issaquah enjoys a lot of both, if seafood places like Jak’s Grill are any indication. “Folks in Issaquah also win when it comes to education, with a high school diploma attainment rate of 96 percent.” Rounding out the top 10, in order, are Bellevue at No. 2, followed by Kirkland at No. 3, Mercer Island and Olympia tied at No. 4, Redmond at No. 6, Mukilteo at No. 7, Bellingham at No. 8, Seattle at No. 9 and Richland at No. 10.

Residents warned about mail box thieves

On Dec. 1, four incidents of mailbox theft were reported just north of Sammamish city limits. In all cases, the thieves targeted locations with multiple mailboxes. With similar targets scattered throughout Sammamish, local police are asking residents to help them fight back. “These incidents seem to increase as the holidays approach,” Sammamish Det. Bill Albright said. A call to 911 is the quickest way to reach Sammamish Police and get them on the case. In a non-urgent situation, though, residents may also call the police station at 425-295-0770.
