State faces money crunch to maintain roads, bridges BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Lynn Peterson
Washington Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson says even if the state Legislature approves a transportation package this session, there won’t be enough money to go around. A “Plan B” needs to be crafted to deal with the worst cases of maintenance and preservation needs to ensure public safety. Peterson met with Reporter staff Wednesday to discuss her reform package presented to the Legislature earlier this year, as well as the status
and issues revolving around Puget Sound transportation projects and funding for aging systems statewide.
Reforms
Acknowledging a design error that has caused cost overruns of more than $170 million for the SR 520 bridge replacement project, Peterson said one reform she’s pushing the Legislature to fund this year would address WSDOT’s contracting methodology for construction projects. “We have a lot of control, but that means if there is a design error, such as 520 pontoons,
Light rail designs at 60 percent
then that error comes back to us,” said Peterson. Peterson also wants funding to create a quality assurance manager position. While all projects are staffed for quality assurance, she said a manager would oversee all of them and report directly to her. She is also exploring options for including contractors in the design process. The transportation secretary defended her decision not to sanction Seattle Tunnel Partners — charged with drilling the downtown Seattle tunnel project — based on the results of a Federal SEE WSDOT, 12

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
City of Bellevue and Sound Transit staff will be on hand Feb. 25 for another East Link public involvement session to discuss the East Main Station area and what impact light rail will have there as the transit agency presents its 60 percent design. Sound Transit has reached 60 percent design completion for all East Link light rail areas within Bellevue and is now sharing its progress with
the public. About 70 residents in the Enatai neighborhood got another peek at what the light rail station and parking garage slated for construction at the South Bellevue Park and Ride will look like Feb. 6. Wendy Jones, president of the Enatai Neighborhood Association, said for a long time the neighborhood was divided in its support for light rail coming in. Now the focus is on making the station and garage fit in with the residential landscape to the
west and Mercer Slough Nature Park to the east. But Jones is not happy with the artist renderings provided at the station area meeting showing what the South Bellevue Station and parking garage are proposed to look like, particularly the industrial look she said doesn’t mesh with the neighborhood. “The people that I talked to that night were in agreement with this,” said Jones, who conveyed her con-

The Bellevue First Congregational Church has purchased a new downtown site following sale of its prime location on 108th Avenue Northeast, but there’s more work to be done before a moving date is set. The church closed on its purchase of the Atrium Building at 111061 N.E. Second St., Wednesday, Feb. 12, after a two-year search process, said the Rev. Kevin Brown. He said a Shaping Our Future team of church members assisted in the search, providing options to the congregation for sites that supported criteria set for a new location. That included staying downtown, being affordable and saving enough money for redevelopment. “We really wanted to lift up our message of tolerance and acceptance,” said Brown. “You don’t always see that in traditional American churches.” The Atrium Building sold for $15 million, which is half what Chinese investment firm Plus Investment USA paid for the church’s current site at 752 108th Ave. N.E. “We are guaranteed here for at least a year,” said Brown of the church’s current location. “That was part of our agreement.” The church has hired an architect to help it realize the new site’s potential, and is also reviewing existing tenant leases in the Atrium Building. While the 25,250-square-foot site is smaller than the church’s current home, Brown said Bellevue First Congregational is committed to continuing its seven core ministries. The church has been on 108th since 1901. “We’ll expand our services in a number of ways, but not necessarily through square footage,” he said.

Ben Lee has made his living in the hightech world working for companies like IBM and Microsoft, but now he’s focused on being his own boss. The Bellevue man is now the sole franchisee in King County for TapSnap, offering clients an interactive photo booth for their social events. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, TapSnap allows users to pose for photos using an interactive kiosk where they can edit pictures and upload them directly to social media accounts or print-outs. “I reached a point where I wanted to do
something different with my family,” said Lee. “Hopefully, through this we can build a thriving business.” Lee has brought on his wife, June, and 22-year-old daughter, Samantha, to help with the business. June said she likes shopping around for physical props, such as funny hats and glasses, but TapSnap allows users to also digitally add effects. For an additional fee, Lee said he has a green screen that allows users to put themselves in interesting backdrops, such as Mount Everest or in front of the New York City skyline. SEE SNAP, 9

Escapee’s girlfriend caught felony theft charges. Court documents state Downs called Hillis prior to his escape from custody and directed her to go inside the courthouse to confirm his transport. Witnesses identified Hillis as the woman who requested information about Downs’ court hearing before his escape. Hillis is believed to have been waiting for Downs inside her vehicle in the courthouse parking lot and picked him up at the driveway after he ran from a Bellevue police support officer. “Every indication was that this was a planned event and he clearly had help,” said Harnden. Harnden added police are not optimistic Hillis will assist law enforcement in locating Downs.

Clothing sought for homeless “Bellevue is filled with charitable people who pride themselves on improving their community,” Simply Clean representative Jim Allen said. “Unfortunately, unless an issue is right in front of your eyes, you don’t give it much attention.” The company is asking for new or only lightly used winter-specific clothing such as jackets, sweatshirts, raincoats, boots, gloves and beanies delivered prewashed in garbage bags. Clothes donated to Simply Clean will be sorted before being given to area charities and nonprofit organizations. To donate, contact donations@seattlesimplyclean.com. The collection period will end Feb. 28.

There’s one more week to donate clothes to a Bellevue cleaning company’s winter clothing collection campaign. Simply Clean, based in Eastgate, has taken collections since late December to benefit King County’s homeless population while raising awareness of the ongoing homeless problem.

EDITORIAL
Thumbs up for Humane Society, Seahawks fans
For the Seattle Humane Society for saving 6,937 animals and making 6,403 pet adoptions in 2013. Both set records for the Bellevue-based organization. The difference in the numbers were animals returned to their people. Other good news: the number of animals that had to be euthanized went down. Those looking for a new best friend, wet nose and all, can find lots of choices at the society’s facility at 13212 S.E. Eastgate Way.
For people celebrating the Seahawks Super Bowl victory in a responsible way. When the Seattle Pioneer Square pergola was damaged by the crowds, an online effort, called crowdfunding, began to raise money to make repairs. Many people contributed $12 (for the 12th man) and Western Washington Honda Dealers contributed the final $10,000 to make the repairs, estimated at $25,000.
For Charlie White and Meryl Davis for winning the gold medal in ice dancing in the Winter Olympics. Watching them made you forget that they were wearing skates and performing on slippery ice. Their final routine was pure art.
For Boeing for making the economic future of the region even stronger by picking Everett as the site to build wings for its new 777X aircraft. A new contract by the Machinists Union secured a Boeing promise to assemble the jetliner in Everett. Adding the wing component means even more workers can look forward to years of good earnings. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Falling in love with ‘macarons’
V
isitors to Paris might fall in love with the Mona Lisa, the houseboats on the Seine, the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Champs-Elysées. I fell in love with the "macaron," which is not to be confused with the mound of baked coconut and egg white that in this country we call a macaroon. When we returned home in October I started a search for a supplier. My research took me to two French bakeries, one in Bellevue and one in West Seattle, which produce the real thing. But these wonderful cookie sandwiches — if an Oreo comes to mind, dismiss the Ann Oxrieder thought immediately — of almond flour, egg whites and powdered sugar with a buttercream filling, don’t come cheap here. (Macarons could have been pricey in Paris, too, but the aromas from bakeries made mentally converting euros to dollars impossible.) Recently, I thought I’d found the solution to having an unending supply of these desserts at a reasonable price. I signed up to take a class. We worked in teams so everyone had a chance to take part. I volunteered to start by beating the egg whites, a task I knew well from years of making lemon meringue pies. “I think you’d better stop now,” said the instructor a few minutes later. “Let me look. Yes. Those are too stiff,
?
Question of the week: “Have you been watching the winter Olympics?”
more like a meringue.” No worries. I would make up for this when my turn came to squeeze the mixture onto the baking tray template. Wait. Why was the mixture oozing outside the top of the pastry bag instead of on the circles marked below? You say I was squeezing from the wrong place? No problem. I’d have other chances to prove my prowess in the kitchen. While the macarons hardened before baking, we moved on to making buttercream and chocolate ganache fillings. Our last step was to choose our preferred flavors of cookie and fillings and stuff the sandwiches. We could even add pizazz by drizzling chocolate over our creations. I learned that the drizzle effect you see on restaurant desserts comes from sticking a fork in a liquid topping and passing the fork artfully back and forth across the plate. Even this takes practice. I brought home 13 macarons. They tasted wonderful. But average cost? $5 apiece. The local bakery, which sells them for $1.50, looks like a great bargain and would never lead to further embarrassment. Ann Oxrieder has lived in Bellevue for 35 years. She retired after 25 years as an administrator in the Bellevue School District and now blogs about retirement at http:// stillalife.wordpress.com/.

A passion for the what and the why BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
Students at St. Louise School show their appreciation for help given to their pet, Marbles, shown in the back row. COURTESY PHOTO
Students almost lose their Marbles Second-graders at St. Louise School in Bellevue are assisting the Seattle Humane Society by adopting a bunny as part of a year-long service project by the class. The idea is that “Marbles,” the bunny, will help teach the students about the many duties inherent in caring for animals properly and to demonstrate the joys animals can bring. However, Marbles’ stay with the class hasn’t been all carrots and lettuce. He accompanies students to their homes over the weekend, and on a recent outing, he injured himself chewing on an electrical cord. To the rescue came parent Liz Anne Bowman, who
works with Access Animal Critical Care and Emergency Services in Renton. With this injury and other small mishaps, Bowman not only donated time, but also more than $1,500 in care for Marbles. To give thanks, the students surprised her when she came to the class to check up on Marbles. Bowman received a certificate of appreciation signed by all the students, a photo book and lots of smiles and hugs. St. Louise School is a Catholic school located in the Crossroads area of Bellevue.

The Mercer Slough Environmental Education Center is offering a new after-school program for middle school students interested in learning about environmental science and the role of “clean technology” in solving natural crises. The eight-week Environmental Science Pathways program begins March 6 and will be open to students in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades. students will learn about the science behind renewable energy, watersheds and the natural environment, and conduct field experiments in the Bellevue wetlands. Sessions will take place 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursdays. The session fee is $250, plus $25 for student transportation from designated pick-up locations, if desired. Registration is currently open for a limited number of spaces. The Center, a partnership of the Pacific Science Center and the city of Bellevue, is built on a 320-acre wetland and includes its own wet lab.
sessions and outings weekly. On Feb. 15, four of them visited the Microsoft campus to sit in on a seminar regarding science and engineering projects, presented by engineer Suresh Chunduru and his children. “It was basically about the science fair and the International Science Fair,” Nagvekar said. “But we’re here to keep in touch with other aspects of the sciences, even if
science fair isn’t the same as Science Bowl,” Kollipara said. Infinity, and other Science Bowl competitors, are tasked with memorizing the trivia and minutiae of the wide world of the sciences and training themselves for rapid recall. The format of Science Bowl is much like a buzzer-based quiz show: teams compete to answer questions in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, energy, and earth and space sciences faster than their competitors. The four Infinity teammates at Microsoft confirmed unanimously that they had begun competing under the urging of their parents, but each said they have developed a passion for the subject matter. “Science is a really big part of the future,” Chaliparambal said. “And as you learn more about it…,” Kollipara began. “It’s like this: Once you start learning about the cell, you might memorize the different parts of the cell first, but then you learn how they interact with each other.

Painting a collage of leadership BY DANIEL NASH
Council funds 11 arts groups
Bellevue city councilmembers voted Tuesday to allocate funds to 25 special projects and 11 organizations supporting the arts. The council approved $110,000 in all for 2014, sending $83,000 to arts organizations and $27,000 to projects. Individual funding amounts ranged from $500 to $18,000. Among the special projects to receive funding were the Seattle International Film Festival, which will show 50 screenings in Bellevue, with appearances from filmmakers. The films will be shown at Lincoln Square Cinemas. A complete listing can be found on the City Council page of the city of Bellevue website, in the Feb. 18, 2014 study session packet.
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Creative Children for Charity, a Sammamish-based student arts program, is seeking artists to help create a collage displaying qualities of leadership. The project, which the arts and social improvement group is calling “40 Story’s” [sic], is asking young artists to complete 40 oil paintings, each showcasing a different leadership quality. The paintings will come together to create a collage when finished. An unveiling ceremony is planned for April. “We’re … hoping to inspire more leadership in youth,” marketing lead and Bellevue student Catalina Raggi said. “Also, a lot of people think today’s youth doesn’t have leadership ability and we want to show that we do.” The group, also known as 3C, distributed canvases and paints to interested artists at Daniel Smith Art Supplies of Bellevue on Feb. 16. However, the group still needs more artists, Raggi said. The goal of 3C is to “inspire one million kids and teens to donate their time and talent for a social cause,”

Property tax notices arrive
For 2014, property taxes in King County have increased 5.64 percent overall, from $3.72 billion to $3.93 billion. However, a person’s property tax increase will vary depending on where the property is located and what voter-approved levies were passed. Countywide, voters approved a six-year temporary lid lift for the renewal of the Parks levy at a rate of $0.18 cents per $1,000 of all taxable assessed value that would generate $63 million in revenue and a six-year renewal of the Emergency Medical Services levy at a rate of $0.335 cents or less per $1,000 of all taxable assessed value.

SNAP CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2
His friends have had a lot of fun helping him grow his portfolio of TapSnap photos. Using his Bellevue home as a startup office, Lee held an open house on Feb. 15 and is already adding clients. This weekend he’ll bring his TapSnap kiosk to a 65th birthday party and is scheduled for another party in March. He said TapSnap is great for weddings, corporate events, nonprofits and bar mitzvahs. Lee invested in three kiosks, but hopes to expand as word spreads.
“I think what I find is there’s a degree of freedom, as well as agility that you have with your own business,” Lee said. Clients don’t need to worry about mastering the kiosks, he said, because he’s there to help along the way. Being able to send out photos from an event using Twitter and Facebook directly through the kiosk allows clients to generate buzz about their events and the people and businesses behind them. Photos can also be generated throughout an event and emailed through the kiosk to a number of clients and participants. To learn more about TapSnap, go to www. tapsnap.net or contact Lee at 425-449-2499 or at benl@tapsnap.net.

Bellevue boys, girls set for 3A Regional round, district semis BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
The past three seasons, Bellevue has been unable to put together a prolonged postseason run. Tuesday night, as music blared and players and coaches exulted from inside the locker room at Bellevue College, it was obvious this year was different. Coach Chris O’Connor’s Wolverines used an 11-4 run in the second quarter and 10 point advantage in the period to take control against Seattle Prep, and exploded with a barrage of three-pointers to win 71-47 in the quarterfinals of the Sea-King district boys basketball tournament. “I think we played the right way for most of the game,” O’Connor said, crediting his team’s effort on the glass. “Defensively, we were engaged, we knew where their shooters were.” Sophomore guard Sharif Khan and junior Kyle Foreman each scored a team high 15 points to pace a Bellevue offense that found its rhythm midway through a first
quarter that featured four lead changes and saw the Panthers leading 17-15. But Prep was unable to withstand the defensive pressure from the KingCo regular season and tournament champions in the second quarter, and saw the lead change for good on three straight three-pointers that keyed the decisive Wolverine surge in a 14-game winning streak that dates to December. “It’s something we always go to, it is a constant,” O’Connor said of his team’s defense. “It is something that is just in your heart and something we count on all the time.” Bellevue forced 21 turnovers on the game, and made nine shots from beyond the three point arc to advance to Thursday’s district semi-final game and more importantly, take one of 16 spots in the 3A State Regional round. After reaching the 3A state title game during the 2010-2011 season, the Wolverines have been unable to get back to the final 16, something Khan said was not lost on this year’s group.

“It’s just good to stamp our ticket,” he said. “We’re just really pumped up right now.” Junior Jordan Kitchen scored a game high 16 points to keep Prep within reach, getting as close as 11 points with just more than two minutes left in the third quarter. But Bellevue proved too much inside and on the glass, and held on for the win and a date with Eastside Catholic Thursday at Bellevue College with a district title game spot on the line. O’Connor said his team, which includes a host of sophomore and junior contributors who have yet to taste postseason success, seems to be on the right track headed in to that matchup. “We are finally putting it all together,” he said.
Bellevue is at it again. The Wolverines’ girls basketball team, looking to make a second straight run deep into the postseason, ensured itself a spot in the 3A Regional round with a 62-53 over Lakeside in Sea-King district tournament Tuesday at Bellevue College. “I think the girls are pumped up about it,” head coach Leah Krautter said. “It’s a little bit different, because we’ve been there before.” Bellevue stretched its lead to 23 points in the third quarter after a bucket from junior Dejah Rogers, and never let the Lions back within nine points, using a frustrating mix of defenses that kept Lakeside at bay. “Once one person picks it up, we all know how to pick it up,” junior Mandy Steward said. The Wolverines led by six after the first quarter, before stretching the advantage in the second with 21 points, including 11 from Rogers and sophomore Shelby Cansler. “I was really pleased,” Krautter said. “The effort was there. We talked about how we SEE HOOPS, 11

had to come out in the first half.” Rogers finished with a game high 18 points, while Cansler put in 15 and Steward added 14 of her own.Krautter said the balanced scoring effort is evidence of a team reaching its potential at the right time. “The girls are coming together at the right time,” Krautter said. “We’ve been focusing on team play all year, and it is finally starting to click. Cristina Cheledinas led the way for Lakeside with 14, while Lauren Estell scored 13 for the Lions in the loss. Bellevue used its district success to reach the state semi-finals last year before losing to eventual champion Cleveland, and will have another chance to get to the Tacoma Dome when the Regional round begins next week. But first is the district semifinals Thursday back at Bellevue College, where the Wolverines will face Blanchet for a spot in the Sea-King title game. Krautter said while her team was able to hold its quarterfinal foe at arm’s length, she hopes to see a cleaner effort Thursday. “We had the lead, and we didn’t quite keep control like I’d hoped,” she said.
The win sends Bellevue back to the round of 16 for the second straight year and also to the district tournament semi-finals Thursday at Bellevue College.
Newport girls set for title game tonight at Juanita
After finishing its season one game shy of the 4A Regional round last year, the Newport girls made sure 2014 would be no repeat, beating Eastlake 35-30 in the semi-finals of the 4A KingCo basketball tournament last week to earn a spot in the state’s final 16. Newport, which has not been to the state basketball tournament since the 1989-90 season, has won six of seven and will have a chance to get to the Tacoma Dome and 4A state tournament when the Regional round takes place next week. The Knights will play Inglemoor for the conference tournament title 6:30 p.m. tonight at Juanita High School. The Regional round takes place Feb. 28 and March 1 at various sites around the state, with spots in the state basketball tournament at the Tacoma Dome on the line the following week.

Funding If the Legislature can’t reach an agreement on a transportation package, WSDOT expects a 52-percent budget decrease over the next four years. Even if a transportation package passes, most of the revenue is already bonded for capital projects and won’t cover the cost for maintaining and preserving Washington’s deteriorating infrastructure. A proposed 10-cent increase per gallon to the gas tax also wouldn’t fully fund all capital improvements for transportation, said Peterson, as only 8 cents per gallon captured from the tax currently goes back for state operations, which also relies heavily on
Maintaining the system Peterson said her department will need to prioritize what projects get addressed through its maintenance and preservation budget, including finding funding to repair or replace 180 culverts on recreational land by 2017 as ordered under the “culvert case.” The federal ruling was made more than a decade after Washington tribes sought an injunction, claiming the poorly constructed culverts were blocking migrating salmon. “It’s the McCleary (case) of transportation,” said Peterson, referencing a Washington education funding mandate.
Big Bertha Washington taxpayers are off the hook for costs associated with the breakdown of Bertha, the tunnel digging machine meant to be boring a road replacement for the Alaskan Way Viaduct, said Peterson. Hitachi Zosen, Bertha’s Japanese builder, still owns the machine, said Peterson, meaning costs for repairs will fall on the manufacturer. A plan for repairs is expected to be presented by the end of the month. Brandon Macz: 425-453-4602; bmacz@bellevuereporter.com

Highway Administration investigation that determined the contractor committed a civil rights violation by not subcontracting a portion of work under the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program. The first step would have been withholding payment, she said, which would only further hurt subcontractors attached to the project. After 10 years of research data collection, Peterson also said WSDOT can go leaner in its project design goals. Projects are currently over-designed by 20 percent to ensure adequate safety measures. Now there is a better understanding of simpler and cheaper ways to enhance transportation goals, she said, referring to an increased focus on roundabouts rather than traffic signals at intersections.
federal funding. A Senate proposal could fund completion of the SR 520 bridge, said Peterson, however, tolling the I-90 bridge is still being looked at as the most likely solution to a more than $1 billion funding gap. Without a revenue package, the SR 520 design office is slated to close in June, she said.

From automobiles and employment to real estate and household goods, you’ll find everything you need 24 hours a day at www.nw-ads.com. NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood. When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle. The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet. Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.
