Bellevue Police reviewing inmate transport policies Escapee from district court prompts review of officer actions BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Police are reviewing the process for transporting inmates following Wendell Downs' escape from custody at the Bel-
levue courthouse last month. Downs, 20, had been in custody since Nov. 12, when he was booked on firstdegree robbery, second-degree organized retail theft and two other felony theft charges. He was at the Bellevue Courthouse Jan. 31 for a misdemeanor traffic case. A Bellevue police support officer brought Downs and another inmate to the courthouse from the King County Jail around
11 a.m. Both inmates had their hands shackled in front of them and feet shackled to prevent them from running. Downs is reported to have started running after he was helped out of the van and is believed to have been picked up by his girlfriend, Tanjanique Hillis, at the bottom of the courthouse driveway. Hillis was arrested at another King County Courthouse on Feb. 18 and Downs remains at large.
"Any time something goes wrong, we're going to take a look at it and see, one, if there is any training we need to do or any procedures or policies like that," said Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden. Downs is the third inmate to escape custody at the Bellevue Courthouse, said Harnden, and has avoided capture the SEE INMATES, 5

Monday, (University of Washington) Medicine made a “huge step forward,” according to Dr. Eugene Yang, in expanding its patient services on the Eastside. The UW Medicine Eastside Specialty Center opened doors on a new facility on Northup Way on Feb. 24, completing the center’s move from its former 116th Avenue Northeast location. Constructed from the ground up, the 33,000-squarefoot Northup facility is a nearly fourfold expansion adding an urgent care clinic, more specialty services — such as gastrointestinal, echocardiology and sports medicine — expanded outpatient surgical capability and an on-site pharmacy and a reworked system for staging patients in examination rooms. It will be able to employ 40 doctors and 80 support staff, and take on double the center’s previous patient workload. Yang is the medical director of the center and a clinical associate professor of medicine in UW Medicine’s cardiology division. On a media tour a week before the center’s opening, while bustling workers were completing late-stage finishing touches on their work, Yang demonstrated some of the innovations made in the facility’s layout. Both floors’ public spaces are made up of long hallways demarcated by color to indicate specialty. Each section of hallway is its own waiting area; non-English speaking patients can request translation assistance through a dedicated phone service. These hallways are intersected by halls to examination rooms. “We’re set up to maximize efficiency, as well as patient flow,” Yang said. “Patients can do self-rooming, or they can

Woman dies when struck by truck on Bel-Red Road BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Police say a 20-year-old woman was killed instantly after being struck by a commercial truck while crossing Northeast 12th Street on Monday afternoon. The King County Medical Examiner’s Office has identified Judith Lopez-Guerrero as the victim and lists a severe head injury as the cause of death. Her death is classified as accidental.

Warrant served in case of missing Redmond woman BY ANDY NYSTROM REDMOND REPOTER
Redmond police served a search warrant in Factoria Wednesday morning on the hunt for evidence in a missing persons case from more than two years ago. They were accompanied by technicians from the state patrol crime lab. Redmond resident Lorill Sinclaire was last seen on Nov. 8, 2011 in the area of Factoria Mall. “We have a search warrant for one of our suspects, a former resident here at the apartments (on the 12300 block of Southeast 41st Lane),” said Mike Dowd, crime prevention officer and spokesperson for RPD. “We’ve

The truck driver, 57, of Snoqualmie is cooperating with police, said Bellevue Police Ofc. Carla Iafrate. Neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to have been a factor.

made some arrangements with current residents, so they’re aware of what’s going on.” Dowd said this process is a follow-up to the “no-body homicide” investigation that detectives have been consistently working on since 2011. Sinclaire, who is divorced and previously went by the name Lorill Bryden, is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, 145 pounds, with blonde/auburn hair and green eyes. Her car, a burgundy 1991 Ford Escort, was found on Nov. 8, 2011 in the 4200 block of 124th Avenue Southeast, not far from the mall. On Dec. 10, 2011, a volunteer search and rescue team from King, Snohomish and Pierce counties unsuccessfully searched a 2to 3-square-mile wooded area around Coal Creek Parkway and Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue for clues to Sinclaire’s whereabouts.

Time for a hardline on those who drive while using their cellphones
A
nyone who spends any time driving around here won’t be surprised by the following “news” from a recent survey by Pemco Insurance: Northwest drivers admit to cheating on the state’s texting while driving laws. Well, duh! For a short time after the law kicked into effect, more drivers than not appeared to be following the rules. Not any more. It’s easy to spot the scofflaws. Drivers intently staring at their lap while at a stoplight most likely are texting. Worse, many are staring — and driving. A check of some national statistics shows the danger. The minimal amount of time a person’s attention is taken away from the road when they’re texting and driving is 5 seconds. That doesn’t sound so bad, except that if you’re traveling at 55 mph, this equals the length of a football field without looking at the road. The law is pretty clear about driving and cellphone use: it’s illegal for drivers to use a hand-held cellphone — stopped or not. And while some try to lessen the danger by using a speakerphone or hands-free device, the net result is about the same. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, using those methods can be just as distracting. Despite what many people may think, most cellphone calls or text messages don’t reflect any emergency. Unless, of course, you answer the call or check the text and find that doing so has, in fact, caused an accident. The answer is for people to act responsibly and not use their cell phones while driving. But as we’ve seen with speeding, there’s apparently not enough responsibility to go around. We expect police officers to take a hardline on speeding. We should encourage them to do the same for those driving while using cellphones. – Craig Groshart, Bellevue Reporter

Liberal approach has problems
The response to the CBO report that 2.5 million people will choose to work fewer hours to qualify for health care subsidies exemplifies the difference between liberals and conservatives. Liberals welcome the opportunity for people to work less and no longer feel “locked” into their current job because it provides “insurance.” Conservatives recognize that “someone” will have to pay the additional costs of providing the insurance, either through higher taxes or higher insurance premiums. They also know fewer full-time workers means less economic growth because fewer “goods and services” will be created with less demand because of reduced income. Fewer work hours also reduces the funds government gets for Social Security and all the other government entitlements, exacerbating an already critical long-term problem. It doesn’t bode well for our country’s future when people have an incentive to be more dependent on the government at the expense of those who refrain from doing so.

Inslee wrong on death penalty
So is this how Gov. Jay Inslee "energizes" his base — by suspending the death penalty? Inslee "walked through the steps of an execution." So what? And he met with the people on death row. Again, so what? All he did was fortify a preconceived bias against the death penalty. Oh yeah, he "met with the victims families." Likely just long enough to say that he met with the victims families.
?
Question of the week:
“Would you approve a $60 per year vehicle fee and $0.001 sales tax benefiting King County transit?”
Inslee claims to be worried about the cost of prosecuting the death penalty. I recall candidate Inslee, who cost the state $1 million to have a special election a few weeks early. I don't remember his concern then. How many prosecutions would $1 million fund? These nine people on death row are the worst of the worst. Their heinous crimes deserve the death penalty several times over. And Inslee tries to claim the cloak of humanitarianism. Unfortunately it drips blood red from all the innocent victims.

Inmate evaluation system broken
Are evaluations ever going to be done in a timely manner so that inmates will not have to wait days and months? This is a serious problem in the court system. It has been more than three weeks and my son is still waiting in jail for his evaluation. Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill on May 16, 2013 for competency evaluations for inmates to be able to stand trial within seven days. On Jan. 30, 2014, Lynn Moberly from Mercer Island Municipal Court informed me that my son's evaluation will be done on Jan. 31 or Feb. 3. Moberly told me to have "faith;" however, the evaluation never took place. My son is disabled with autism, Asperger's syndrome, schizophrenia and neurological problems. Jail is not the right place for him. His public defender never has seen a case like this. My son hasn't been convicted of a crime. I would like to thank all the agencies and people helping me in efforts to obtain an evaluation. My hope is that my son and other inmates will receive their evaluations.

be escorted and given assistance. “That’s the onstage area, but here’s the offstage area,” he said, opening a door between exam room halls. Behind the door is an office suite with access to the exam rooms from the other side. “This is one of our pods, set up to minimize exposure between our patients and health care providers’ work area. You can think of it a bit like Disneyland: When you visit, you don’t want to see what’s going on behind the scenes. It’s a new thing, something that hasn’t been (used) a lot in specialty clinics.” The pod system also allows some specialties to become modular within the center. Urology and neurology could be in red and blue pods, respectively, one day and blue and red on another depending on need. Specialties with specific equipment needs – such as gastrointestinal medicine and physical therapy – have dedicated suites. “Some of these services we’re able to offer now. Before our patients would have had to go all the way to Harborview,” Yang said. In the near future, the center will be
longest. One escaped inmate was located by a K-9 hiding near the perimeter of the courthouse and another fleeing inmate was caught attempting to steal a getaway vehicle in a nearby neighborhood in 2000. "Every indication was that this was a planned event and (Downs) clearly had help," said Harnden. Police records state Hillis was contacted by Downs the day of his escape, who directed her to enter the courthouse and request information about his hearing. Witnesses and court employees identified Hillis doing so, and law enforcement has recordings of the calls made by Downs from a jail phone. When Downs made his escape, there was only one police support officer in charge of transporting him and the other inmate. Police support officers are not armed, said Harnden, but receive the same academy training as Washington Department of Corrections officers. "We're looking at her options," said Harnden of the PSO. "We're still working on that." Police support officers also use their own discretion in determining whether to chain inmates together, she said, which depends on the number of officers and inmates present during transfers. Harnden said the department is looking at ways to get better information about the inmates being transported beforehand to better prepare and has already increased staffing on transports in the interim. The city of Bellevue has a new lease to relocate district court and probation services to the Bellefield Building at 114th Avenue Southeast, which must be accomplished before spring 2015. A court relocation committee met Feb. 18 and is in the initial phase of designing security for the new facility.
Dr. Eugene Yang, medical director of the UW Eastside Specialty Center, recently oversaw the construction and opening of the Center’s new Northup Way location — a nearly fourfold expansion over its predecessor, adding new specialty clinics and amenities such as a pharmacy.

Old Bellevue block getting new development project BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Several business owners in Old Bellevue have been granted an extension to vacate a block of properties slated to be demolished for another redevelopment project. The Gateway is proposed by
the Vander Hoek Corporation to be a mixed-use project on the northwest corner of Bellevue Way and Main Street that will include 370 residential apartments and 22,000 net rentable square feet of retail space and another 5,000 net rentable square feet of restaurant space. The project also will provide parking for about 600 vehicles.
This rendering shows what The Gateway, a mixed-use project, is proposed to look like where it will be built on the corner of Main Street and Bellevue Way. COURTESY PHOTO, VANDER HOEK CORPORATION Businesses contained within the block of Main Street, Bellevue Way, Northeast First Street and
103rd Avenue Northeast initially learned they would have until Feb. 28 to vacate the properties, but re-
ceived certified letters Wednesday, Feb. 19, extending their eviction to April 30. James Russell, owner of Ming’s Asian Gallery, said there’s no hard feelings for Stu Vander Hoek and his company. His lease states he would leave if redevelopment ever occurred. “We just didn’t expect it to be so quick and in such short time,” said Russell, adding he’s having trouble finding affordable space for relocating. Vander Hoek said tenants of his properties on that block of Old SEE PROJECT, 7
Light rail moves Christmas House out BY BRANDON MACZ
Keith Galpin packs up remaining inventory at the Christmas House in Bellevue.
BELLEVUE REPORTER
Keith Galpin said the city of Bellevue had been eyeing his property for a downtown park site for nearly a decade, but it was eminent domain and light rail that finally forced the Christmas House owner to leave his Northeast Second Street shop. Sound Transit plans to tear down the old red house and use the land for a staging area when it constructs a tunnel under 110th Avenue Northeast, as part of its East Link extension project. Galpin said the city

will later use the property for a new park. Galpin’s parents, Gerry and Shirley, opened the Christmas House 40 years ago on Main Street. He took over the holiday decor business in 1982, when his father died. Shirley Galpin died in 2008. Galpin said he bought the Second Street house in 1997 because of the homey setting for his Christmas displays. Now he’s looking for a new home. “Because they have the court on their side, I have to vacate,” Galpin said of an SEE CHRISTMAS, 7

Bellevue knew when they signed their leases they would eventually have to make way for redevelopment, and many were happy for the added time to vacate. Other businesses include Cupcake Royale, Rudy’s Barbershop, Bellevue Barbershop, Cookies in Bloom, 7-Eleven, Araya’s Place and The Spot Off Main, which is owned by Vander Hoek. Construction is expected to take 22 months and will likely start in late spring or early summer, said Vander Hoek, adding preleasing won’t occur until at least a year from now. He hopes to find an anchor restaurant and fill other retail space with the types of businesses common in Old Bellevue. “The idea would be like just like a shopping mall a tenant mix that works with what’s already here,” he said.

eminent domain lawsuit the city filed against him. Galpin said he's made peace with having to vacate his storefront – now out of place among high-rises and a Marriott hotel currently under construction next door. But the value of his property remains a point of contention. He said he's not satisfied with the city's recession-level appraisal of his property, which was used in its purchase offer. Because of the lawsuit, he said a new appraisal had to be done. If the matter of just compensation isn't resolved during mediation in mid-March, the case will go to court in April. The city does not discuss matters of pending or current litigation, but Bellevue councilmembers did approve a new contract with Pacifica Law Group LLP in early February for $184,000 to continue to prosecute condemnation of the Christmas House and neighboring business, Trend Imports. The auto sales busi-
Michele Dillon, who owns Timeless Elegance with her husband, Michael, said she’s more concerned about the building where her business resides being demolished than her having to leave it. Built in 1948, the property has been a residence, a restaurant and an art gallery before Timeless Elegance opened there in 1989. “People are very upset that this is going to be torn down,” Dillon said, adding people have come in to share their memories. “One guy had me take a picture of where he proposed to his wife.” She said she has inquired with the Eastside Heritage Center about the history of the place and what could be done to relocate the building like what was done with the Winters House. Vander Hoek, who also serves on the EHC board, said that won’t happen. “It’s certainly not something that’s foreign to me that people would think there’s some sort of significance to that house. I think clearly the direction for downtown Bellevue is not to save houses,” Vander Hoek said. ness plans to relocate to Northeast Bel-Red Road. Galpin spent this week packing the last of his inventory, having liquidated a good portion of it during Christmas. He said he'd considered retiring, but was encouraged by long-time customers to keep the family business going. "All of them were, 'You need to stay in business. We come here every year. It's part of our Christmas tradition,' " he said, adding he was touched by the loyalty of local customers. "That's probably what kept us in business for such a long time." Galpin said he's interested in several properties along Front Street in Issaquah, and could reopen his business as soon as fall. He added his staff, many having worked at Christmas House for the past 30 years, would also appreciate it. "They're the ones probably pushing hardest for me to reopen," he said with a laugh.

Newport wins 4A swim team title BY JOSH SUMAN BELLEVUE REPORTER
Newport won its first ever team scoring state championship at the 4A state meet Feb. 21 and 22 at King County Aquatic Center, finishing in front of Issaquah with a handful of top-five individual finishes. The Knights picked up their best result of the finals with a runner-up finish in the 400 yard freestyle relay, just behind Kentridge. Sophomores Dave Makhervaks, Will Dittig and Aaron Elhajj, along with junior Andrew Pana, finished in three minutes, 13.63 seconds in the finals to claim second place. Elhajj swam 4:37.07 in the finals of the 500 freestyle, also good for a second place finish. Dittig was joined by seniors James Campbell, Jay Zhang and Makhervaks in the 200 medley relay, as Newport finished sixth in the finals in 1:38.52.

Greater Bellevue Lions Club
Learning by seeing BY DANIEL NASH BELLEVUE REPORTER
A joint operation by Bellevue School District and charitable organizations provided 38 students vision exams and glasses Feb. 12. Vision assistance is a key mission for the Greater Bellevue Lions Club, which has historically supported area school nurses in obtaining vision appointments for students in need. The school district in 2012 began working with Jubilee REACH— a middleman organization for connecting children to resources they need—to found an annual vision event. REACH recruited optometrist Sam Hsu of Vision Plus Redmond to
lead the annual examinations. The third such vision event saw 141 Eyewear of Portland donate frames from its product line. Hsu conducted 48 vision exams on students from kindergarten to 12th grade in a little more than two hours’ time. “It is estimated that 80 percent of learning occurs through the eyes,” district lead nurse Sonja Reid said. “The students provided with glasses from this volunteer event will now go forward with increased opportunity for success in school and life.” Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com

tags in the garden. “It’s going to be subtle, but it’s going to be well recognized when you come into the garden” he said. The city is working toward completion of a new visitor center with a grand opening slated for mid-June, which is when Kartes said she hopes to debut the Tap to Learn program. Knowledgeable guides also will be equipped with tablets to assist garden goers. McKay has partnered with the botanical garden to offer local nurseries similar tags, letting their customers tap into the BBG’s database to educate themselves about the plants available for sale. “We’re finally at a spot here where we’re out of the pilot phase and ready to support people who need this functionality,” he said.

A look at Bellevue’s past
Voices of Bellevue: John Sears Eastside Heritage Center’s oral history collection contains more than 200 interviews. In the following excerpt from his 1997 oral history (edited for clarity) John Sears remembers what it was like to celebrate Halloween in Bellevue in the 1920s. Interviewer: How did you celebrate Halloween? Did you trick or treat? John: Well, it wasn’t so much the treat then, it was just trick. That treat stuff didn’t come until after the Second World War, I don’t believe. I never heard of it until after that. You know, the guys would just do funny things. Like they used to have a community clubhouse up there in Bellevue, and one time a young guy — I wasn’t part of this, this was before my time — they dismantled an old buggy and put it together on top of the clubhouse. Interviewer: I think that was Bob Henning’s father’s wagon. I’m not sure. [laughter] I’ll have to ask Bob about that. My father also denied that he had anything to do with it. Those two were probably hiding behind a tree. John: Yeah! That was too far away for me. We had to do our own thing around here (in Beaux Arts). Interviewer: So you never knocked on
Halloween image from the Book of Parties, 1928. Courtesy Eastside Heritage Center doors or …? John: No, we didn’t do that. That was the treat part. Interviewer: Do you remember getting a costume? John: I don’t remember a costume, but one time they had a thing called Fall Frolic over in the old clubhouse,where the guys put the wagon on the roof. They had all different kinds of activities. And I remember they had this deal where I was the rear end of a horse.

Pierce County woman lists Kemper Development as a defendant BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Pierce County woman whose son died days after a 2012 fight in Bellevue Square is suing its owner, the bar where the incident occurred and the man alleged to have fatally injured Jacob A. Steinle. Paula Harmes filed the wrongful death lawsuit in King County Superior Court on Feb. 14 – exactly two years after her son's death – naming Kemper Development as a defendant. The suit alleges its Bellevue Square security guards did not intervene soon enough when Steinle became engaged in an altercation with Dain Cilley at the former Munchbar location on Feb. 10, 2012. It also faults the development company as the bar's landlord at the time of the incident. The lawsuit states Steinle was with a friend at Munchbar between midnight and 2 a.m. that morning when they became involved in an altercation with Cilley that ended outside. Cilley is alleged to have struck Steinle in the face, causing his head to strike the wall of the establishment and leaving behind a dent. Kemper Security only intervened after the assault occurred, the complaint states. Steinle reportedly complained about facial pain over the next few days leading up to his death. The complaint states Steinle was found dead by his brother in an apartment they shared after he returned home from work around 5 p.m. Feb
14, 2012. The suit claims Steinle died from a concussive brain injury preceded by a seizure brought on as a result of being punched by Cilley, stating he is liable for battery and/or assault. The King County Medical Examiner's Office listed Steinle's cause of death as undetermined, adding it did not have to do with a toxicological or disease-related condition. The complaint faults Munchbar for allegedly continuing to serve Cilley that night despite his apparent drunkenness and aggressive behavior, citing a history of violence by patrons at the bar from the time it opened to its closure in late 2012. Bellevue Police report 377 calls there from February 2011 to December 2012, including 22 for assault. Munchbar is a Nevada LLC that still operates a location in Las Vegas. Munchbar is also accused of breach of duty for not intervening in the altercation and negligence for "failure to notify customers of its storied history of liquor violations and 911 calls." Harmes is seeking damages and recovery of court costs related to the suit, which was filed "for the benefit of the minor children of Jacob A. Steinle."
