The project to create a better system for salmon habitat in Issaquah Creek is finally done. Originally scheduled to be completed in September 2013, the project was delayed by weather and ground water problems. Darin Combs with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife said the contractors encountered much more groundwater than expected, and last September’s rainfall didn’t help matters. “We’d never seen the creek that high in the 10 years I’ve been here,” Combs said. The valves were opened on Monday, March 3 and Issaquah Creek water once again began flowing into the hatchery ponds and incubation trays from the
Issaquah police have identified the man found dead in Issaquah on April 5 as Jose Tavares. Tavares left Swedish/ Issaquah on March 20. Police are now asking for Jose Tavares the public’s help to clarify what happened next. Anyone who thinks they saw Tavares after March 20 is asked to call Issaquah police at 425-837-3200 and ask for a detective. Tavares was Hispanic, 5-feet, 4 inches tall; 150 pounds with black hair and brown eyes. He was 49 years old. His body was found in a field northeast of Northeast Juniper Street by another man who was exploring the area. The body appeared to have been at the location for several days. Police are continuing the investigation, but at this time it appears the cause of death was by natural causes.

replaced by the new intake, dated back to 1937. The old fish ladder, with 12-inch high steps, was too high for the returning fish since they were nearing the end of their lives and running out of energy. Now, new rock weirs with an open area in the middle, make it easier for the fry to migrate.
Each step-up is 9-inches, followed by little pools for the fish to rest before making the next jump. “It’s critical — they don’t have much life left in them when they get to this point,” Combs said. The best part — it all looks very natural. Salmon are amazing and curious creatures. They’ve adapted over the centuries to come back to their native water. Combs
said Chinook and Coho will go all the way to the Pacific Ocean. Coho salmon will go south as far as California and north to Canada. But Chinook, or “king salmon” will go as far as Alaska. A chinook that started life in Issaquah Creek could come back weighing 35-pounds. So why is all of this necessary? Simple, said Combs. People want fish. “The habitat wouldn’t

the bubbles. In addition to the project to create this new water access, nearby Cabin Creek also was reconfigured where it flows into Issaquah Creek. Little stepups were created for about 200 yards. The creek banks disturbed for the construction have now been re-contoured and planted with native plants. As the plantings flourish, Issaquah Creek will soon look more like it did before man began to alter the environment. The $4 million project, was approved by the Legislature in 2013.

The compressors then shut down for one minute to allow pressure to build back up in the air tank, and the next screen is cleaned. When this occurs, it looks like a little geyser by each screen.

Sammamish approves Klahanie interlocal agreement
BY KELLY MONTGOMERY ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
The Sammamish City Council unanimously approved a resolution April 15, authorizing the execution of an interlocal agreement with the city of Issaquah regarding the Klahanie potential annexation area. City Manager Ben Yazici presented the agreement to the council and emphasized the progress both cities have made in working together, urging council members to approve the resolution. “This is a good agreement,” Yazici said. “We completed this agreement in light speed.”
The agreement states that Sammamish and Issaquah will cooperate and not oppose efforts to transfer the Klahanie Potential Annexation Area from Issaquah to Sammamish. Sammamish will support Issaquah’s Urban Center and Regional Growth Center designation requests before all government entities as well as the Central Issaquah Plan. Sammamish will not impose or accept any retail sales tax from the Klahanie Annexation Area, Sammamish will promptly take steps to improve Issaquah-Fall City Road upon annexation, and Sammamish will pay Issaquah $30,000 for full use of its Klahanie annexation study. Councilmember Ramiro Valder-
Talk set on police, people with disabilities Life Enrichment Options (LEO), a community based nonprofit that supports people with developmental disabilities, will host an interactive presentation by Issaquah police officers from 6:30-8:30 p.m., April 24 at Tibbetts Manor. The officers will discuss the expectations of the police in various encounters, and help prepare individuals with developmental disabilities to interact safely. Multiple scenarios will be presented to explain what a law enforcement officer expects of them, and ways to communicate their disability. The officers also will be available prior to the presentation to
answer questions about their vehicles and the equipment they use in their job. The presentation is recommended for those with developmental disabilities middle school age and older and their families. However, children of all ages are welcome along with caregivers and involved community members. Police cars will be on display from 6:30-7 p.m., with the presentation to follow. It is free and no reservations are required. For more information email info@ lifeenrichmentoptions.org. or go to lifeenrichmentoptions.org.
Questions about PSE’s plans on the Eastside?
rama was displeased with parts of the agreement, referencing the annexation study. “I wish this would have come to us sooner so we could have fixed the language,” Valderrama said. “Nonetheless, because it’s allowing us to have new levels of cooperation, I will be supportive. I just wish we would have had the chance to look at the language of this.” Mayor Tom Vance said he wanted to acknowledge all of the hard work put
into the agreement, specifically by Issaquah Mayor Fred Butler. “This was all about changing our relationship with Issaquah and making it a better one for the region,” he said. “I’m very happy to support this. It was a long process, a lot of things came in, a lot of things went out…it was a two-way street.” Kelly Montgomery: 425-391-0363; kmontgomery@issaquahreporter.com

GO FISH
Work on Issaquah Creek good for salmon – and people, too
I
t took longer to complete than expected, but the $4 million effort to improve the salmon habitat in Issaquah Creek is finally finished. We couldn’t be happier – and we expect the salmon will be, too. There’s now a far easier process for returning salmon to migrate past the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery and move upstream in Issaquah Creek. The old dam, dating back to 1937, is gone, as are the 12-inch-high steps the salmon had to leap on their journey to spawn. Now, each step is but nine inches and there are pools for the fish to rest on as their jumping journey continues. As Reporter staff writer Linda Ball’s story on page one notes, the new system not only is better for the salmon, but is also a visual improvement that only will get better as foliage fills in along the recontoured creek banks. Other improvements are out of sight but equally important to the health of the salmon. The water that flows from the creek to the hatchery now has a computer-controlled cleaning process that can clean each of five screens in 12 seconds each. The creek and the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery are more than just a place for fish. As the Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery point out, the hatchery is the most visited of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s hatcheries, with thousands of visitors every year. The salmon also form the bedrock reason for Issaquah’s annual Salmon Festival that brings hundreds of thousands of visitors to the city each fall. A final point worth noting: kudos to the Legislature for committing the funds for the project. There’s no lack of projects and programs that could have used the $4 million. Fortunately, the salmon won the day – as did we all.
An important vote
There are just a few days left to vote in the April 22 election. One issue of particular importance to Sammamish voters is the $404 million bond issue to rebuild and construct more schools in the Lake Washington School District. We endorsed last year’s larger bond issue that, unfortunately, failed. This one is far easier on the pocketbook, but still provides help in meeting the district’s growing enrollment. We urge a “yes” vote. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

allots hit mailboxes earlier this month as you and other King County voters will decide on whether to support a proposition which includes, among other things, a sales tax increase and a new $60 vehicle fee. The revenue will be used to provide additional funding for Metro Transit service as well as a distribution among cities and rural Richard Gabel areas for some additional transportation purposes.

enormous impact on our future competitiveness. Nobody is more frustrated at the Legislature’s inability to invest in needed, critical and long overdue transportation solutions than the business community. Chambers of commerce, industry associations and businesses large and small from across the state, have continued to stand arm-in-arm with environmental groups, labor leaders, transit supporters and others to make the case for these needed comprehensive reforms and investments. Yet again, the Legislature adjourned this winter with no transportation package. We now see King County asking voters to approve a new revenue proposal aimed at a portion of the needs. Leading institutions differ on their endorsements of this proposal: The Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the King County Municipal League say vote yes. The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the Seattle Times urge a vote of no. One can appreciate King County’s desire to bring something forward and the need for adequate transit service across the county is clear. But is the current model, absent reforms, sustainable over the long SEE TRANSPORTATION, 5

LWSD bond will keep education high
Skyline principal takes new position
The board of directors of the Sammamish Chamber of Commerce endorses the upcoming Lake Washington School District’s bond levy. The chamber supported the levy last November. We reiterate our earlier opinion that quality public education is of paramount importance to our community and approval of the levy will enable the district to fulfill a number of critical projects needed not only to continue to provide excellence in education but also meet expected growth in district enrollment now projected at 4,000 over the next eight years. High quality education within the district aligns with the Sammamish chamber’s mission to provide economic vitality within the city of Sammamish and attract a demographic of families who are both owners and consumers of business in Sammamish. The educational upgrades and teaching tools the bond will provide are paramount to ensuring both the high quality of education the district provides our kids and maintaining long-run economic vitality of our city. The chamber is confident in the district’s financial management and planning capabilities and believes the pro-

term? Some applaud King County for at least putting something forward. Others urge caution and list concerns about expense control and historical patterns of promises not delivered. And to the topic of comprehensiveness: county-funded transportation is clearly only part of the regional transportation system, so one has to ask what will this measure mean to the prospects of a needed statewide package? Will this measure increase “voter fatigue” from continuous requests for new revenue to fund the investments? Is this a short term win which could lead to a long term loss? Questions abound. Voters, all of whom we hope are paying attention to the unfolding state and county transportation debate, have important choices to make. Please take the time to educate yourself on this ballot measure and then the transportation positions of the legislative candidates appearing on the ballot •

Sanders' story nicely done
Kudos to the Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter’s Aprils 11 awe-inspiring story about Dawn and John Sanders. Kelly Montgomery's coverage of the upcoming journey of the Sanders was very inspirational to read and from the story one understood the depth of the compassion of both Dawn and John for helping others. The Sanders certainly have contributed unselfishly to the local communities through their seemly untiring volunteering and service efforts. In fact, Dawn commented that she was concerned that she would not be able to keep busy. The past history of this unique couple makes that statement doubtful. Now they are about to leave for a courageous and compassionate journey. Our loss will certainly be Vietnam’s gain. The Sanders will be missed but we wish them Bon Voyage, to travel well and return soon.
Larry Crandall, Sammamish in November. Transportation is a key issue in determining our regions competitiveness. Solutions take many years of planning, permitting and construction, so the decisions we make today we must live with for a long time to come. Leadership is needed and an informed electorate is the best first step. Richard Gabel is the chair of the Board of the Greater Issaquah Chamber of Commerce. Matthew Bott is the chamber’s CEO.

Public pushes back; Talus preliminary plat not a slam-dunk BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
Dozens of Talus residents and concerned citizens filled Issaquah City Council chambers Tuesday night for a meeting of the Urban Village Development Commission regarding three parcels in the mountainside village. Perhaps with the tragedy in Oso fresh on their minds, they are concerned about the number of retaining walls necessary to develop the steep slope, which is one of the last undeveloped pieces of the Talus urban village. Lisa Milkowski, who lives in Talus, suggested the commission take a look on YouTube at Issaquah/Talus mudslide from three years ago. It is a scary video. “There is risk,” Milkowski said. Milkowski said as a homeowner she does not want to be responsible for a wall of the magnitude of the one proposed on the east side of Parcel 7. That proposed retaining wall is almost 800-feet long and 48-feet high at its highest point. Ryan Kohlman, speaking on behalf of the applicant, Triad Associates, said the homeowner’s association in Talus would own and maintain all the retaining walls unless a sub-HOA is created. Geo-technical engineer Carolyn Decker acknowledged the very steep slopes of the project, but said they can build a very stable, safe wall. The catch is these walls have a 50-year life span. She said the big wall proposed for Parcel 7 would be founded on bedrock. The question remained, who is going to maintain these walls and put money aside to replace it in 50 years? Talus does have a master homeowner’s association, but it’s not unheard
of for subdivisions within the village to have their own HOA. But the residents of Talus aren’t buying it. Karen Porterfield said the wall on Parcel 7 is half the height of the retaining wall that is failing behind the Issaquah Home Depot. She wanted to know why the city isn’t willing to take ownership of the Parcel 7 wall if they’re so confident it won’t fail. “Please understand that the homeowner’s are not ready to assume the wall,” she said. Toni Letendre echoed her thoughts. He said the new walls represent a significant departure from the walls they have now. Lucy Sloman, land development manager for the city, said the city usually only owns walls associated with rights-of-way. She added that homeowner’s associations are out of the city’s purview. Darren Peugh of Talus Management Services said it’s inaccurate that the homeowner’s have no control over the village. “The master developer is not the puppetmaster for the HOA,” Peugh said. He said they’ve put $350,000 into the HOA over the years. But at a cost of $2.5 million for all these new walls - exclusive of engineering fees, the homeowner’s weren’t buying it. “The number and size of the walls are of concern to a lot of people and me,” said UDVC chair Geoffrey Walker. “This is inconsistent with the plan. Parcel 7 makes me very uncomfortable.” Walker asked the applicant how many units they would have to take the project down to, to avoid some of the walls. He said the height and length of the one wall in particular, and the fact
This conceptual plan of Talus Parcels 7-9 shows dozens of retaining walls that are recommended for the project. Talus residents are skeptical of the plans for Parcel 7, (lower right) which would require one retaining wall that is almost 800-feet long and 48-feet high at its highest point. COURTESY IMAGE. that this is being “thrust” on the community is what bothered him. Also of concern was encroachment into a 50-foot buffer on Cougar Mountain parkland which was written into the original Talus master plan. Ken Koningsmark, who was involved with Talus from the start said encroaching into the buffer would be a direct violation of the agreement. The developer wanted to put two water tanks into the buffer. Sloman said a precedent was set when another water tank was allowed in the buffer further south. But they backed off and agreed not to set the new water tanks in the buffer. By the end of the three and one-half hour meeting, the commission agreed to approve development on Parcels 8 and 9, but they tabled 7 until the next meeting, May 6. There might be a way the developer can modify the homes to have steeper daylight
basements and less of a backyard to avoid the steep wall. Sloman said the architectural review committee would be dealing with home design, and thought that discussion was premature. Connie Marsh of Issaquah talked about the character of a mountain village, so commenting about design not coming until the architectural review was not premature. “I want better for my town, not just what the market will bear,” Marsh said. “We’re building to the lowest common denominator. I want Talus great. I’m tired of things being not so hot.” If the entire plan can be approved, site construction could start this year, with total build-out by 2017. As it stands now, 153 lots on 34.75 acres are planned including single family attached and detached homes and 16 tracts for critical areas, trails, utility, access, recreation, and open space.

‘Women of Persia’ exhibit honors strong, powerful women BY LINDA BALL ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER
“Women of Persia,” the current exhibit at Blakely Hall in the Issaquah Highlands, is art that talks. Issaquah artist Farshad Alamdari, in his first major exhibition, is portraying women who had power and freedom, which changed after the Iranian Revolution. He said the politics and religion are stopping them, but they will continue to fight until they have victory. “The story behind the paintings is an opportunity for young women to learn, to find their presence, their personality,” Alamdari said. Alamdari is a native of Iran, a scientist and an artist. He left Iran six years before Ayatollah Khomeini led the 1979 Iranian Revolution which saw the overthrow of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah of Iran. He earned his Ph.D. in architecture in England and became a leader in sustainability, long before it was a hip buzzword in the U.S. He said in the U.K. they were building green by 1990, whereas the U.S. was 10 years behind. Alamdari was the chief scientist for the U.K. on sustainable built environment. He had been painting since he was 14 and drawing since he was six. When his wife was offered the position of vice-president for marketing with Boeing, he followed her here two years later, devoting all of his time to his art. He worked on “Women of Persia” for two and one-half years, full-time, producing 18 oil portraits of powerful women from Persian history, using his mother, wife, daughter and his son’s girlfriend as inspiration. He said Islam was forced on Iran by the Arabs 1,500 years ago, but it was Khomeini who forced women to cover their heads in 1980, which they still have to do. “The women before Islam were flourishing,” he said. Zoroastrianism, the first religion which believed in one God and is still practiced by many people worldwide, is the ancient Iranian religion, coming before Christianity,
Alamdari stands next to “Tolerant,” a powerful portrait of the current struggle of women in Iran. LINDA BALL, Issaquah &
Sammamish Reporter
Islam or Judaism. One of his paintings called “Compassionate,” is his interpretation of Queen Cassandane, 545 B.C. She was a Persian noblewoman and the dearly loved wife of the King of Kings, Cyrus the Great. What’s notable, is that Cyrus the Great wrote the first chapter ever on human rights, which the authors of the United States Constitution used as a reference. Although Cyrus was Zoroastrian, Alamdari said he did not suppress the Jews. “Enduring” is his portrait of the Shah’s wife, Queen Farah. “She was a kind woman who supported women’s rights,” Alamdari said. He said women in Iran advanced under her leadership. “But the Shah was controlling,” he said. With only one political party, Alamdari said it put a great deal of pressure on both men and women. During the Shah’s rule, the middle class did much better. Now,
he said, inflation is over 600 percent and there is a huge disparity between the very rich and the very poor. “Noble” is a portrait inspired by Turandokht, a coldhearted princess (630 A.D.) who was determined that no man should ever possess her. The story of Turandokht was turned into a popular opera by Puccini. Then there are the warriors. “Resilient” is inspired by Azad, (750 A.D.), a guerrilla commander from the north of Iran. She fought against the Islamic forces during the occupation period. “Progressive” is one of the more modern portraits, inspired by Dr. Tal’at Basari, the first woman vice-chancellor of a prestigious university in Iran. She was appointed in 1960. Wearing a simple dress, she is looking contemplatively at something in the distance. Finally, on opposite sides of the religious issue, “Optimistic” portrays Hila Sedighi, a human rights activist who was jailed at one time. In 2012 she was honored for her commitment to free expression by Human Rights Watch. Although she is wearing the head scarf, it is on loosely, revealing much of her hair. Then, “Tolerant,” one of the more polarizing paintings by Alamdari, shows a mother and her two daughters in total burqas. Alamdari said “in May 1979, the day of celebration for Iranian’s Women’s Day, Islamic hijab on women was imposed. This requires women to wear loose-fitting clothes as well as a head scarf that covers the hair.” “Women of Persia” is presented by artEAST. “We’re very consciously looking for art that inspires dialogue,” said artEAST Executive Director Karen Abel. “We’re thrilled to have this – it’s our inaugural exhibition (of this type).” There will be a reception and artist talk from 6-8 p.m. Saturday, April 19 at Blakely Hall, 2550 N.E. Park Drive. All of Alamdari’s paintings are for sale, with 30 to 40 percent of the proceeds going to artEAST for education and community programming.

Issaquah, Skyline boys soccer teams on collision course
Eagles win two on Texas lacrosse trip Issaquah began its Spring Break trip with a 9-5 win over Vandegrift (Austin, Texas), bolstered by a balanced scoring effort led by a hat trick from Cody Klansnic. Zach Fritz scored a pair of goals and four other Eagles scored in the victory. Jordan Dondoyano went the distance in goal, recording seven saves to help his team to a win. Issaquah came back with a 7-4 win over Westlake (Austin Texas), as Mikey Giannopulos netted four goals to pace the offense and Dondoyano recorded 10 saves on 14 shots. Jake Collins, Jake Lindahl and Fritz also found the back of the net in the team’s second win of a three-game trip. A 10-9 loss to Austin in the waning seconds of the match marked Issaquah’s last game in the Longhorn State, before returning to Washington prep play April 18 against Mount Si.
BY JOSH SUMAN JSUMAN@BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM
For first year Issaquah head soccer coach Kyle Tatro, the key to his team’s success isn’t easy to pin down. Seven different players have scored a goal, led by three from Ryan Higgins, and four others have tallied at least one assist on the season. The defense has been even equally impressive, and had not allowed a goal since March 28 as of the Reporter’s Wednesday deadline. “Our defense has been tremendous from top to bottom,” Tatro said. “Our forwards on down have committed themselves to being an excellent defensive team, and that has gone a long way.” The Eagles have posted five straight shutout wins in 4A KingCo play, and are one of three remaining unbeaten teams in the conference along with rival Skyline (the Spartans have one tie in conference play) and Redmond. Tatro said while his entire squad has focused on squeezing opponents out of scoring chances, the play of junior goalkeeper Saif Kerawala has been another separating factor. “He’s phenomenal,” Tatro said, adding Kerawala has an exceptional ability to distribute the ball and jumpstart his team’s attack, in addition to his duties as a shot-stopper. “He’s got a lot of talent and is technically gifted.” Kerawala and the defense have allowed only three goals on the season, and never more than one in a single game. Josh Zhou and Ryan Higgins lead the team with five goals each, while Conner Hughes has posted six assists. Tatro said along with Hughes, fellow center backs Ben Corman and Liam Bruno have risen to the challenge to help Issaquah remain unbeaten and in the driver’s seat for a spot in the conference title game. “Our center backs have been great,” he said. “They have done a great job pressuring teams, especially the good teams we’ve come up against.” After facing Garfield Wednesday, the Eagles meet Redmond, which is also undefeated in KingCo play, Friday. With a 4A state tournament berth in its sights, Tatro said the key for his team is maintaining its defensive intensity and execution.
Skyline falls by a goal in Maryland The Spartans took the trip east to Maryland, one of the nation’s hotbeds for lacrosse, and fell 8-7 to Towson (Baltimore County). Skyline came back to win its second game of the trip, 9-8 over Gerstell Academy.
Issaquah goalkeeper Saif Kerawala and the Eagles have been turning away foes all season, and sport an unbeaten record. DON BORIN, Stop Action Photography “It is continuing to work hard defensively and not losing sight of that,” he said. “We’ve gotten off to a great start. But it is easy to stumble and lose everything we’ve gained.”
Spartans in position to make playoff run Skyline trounced Bothell 6-0 Monday, earning its fourth win in as many games and keeping its conference record without a blemish on the season. The Spartans got goals from five different players in the win, as Feb Rubilio, Matthew Richardson, Jason Twaddle, Armeen Badri and Mason Prendergast found the back of the net, with each of those goals coming on an assist. Coach Don Braman’s team is unbeaten on the season and 5-0-1 in conference play, and still has games against the other two teams at the top of the conference in Redmond and Issaquah.
Eastlake, EC after postseason spots Eastlake will make the trip across the Plateau to face Skyline Thursday at 8 p.m. The Wolves have won four straight games. Eastside Catholic hammered Mount Si 19-1 Tuesday and faced Auburn-Riverside Wednesday looking to keep its record perfect on the year.
Issaquah girls keep rolling along Issaquah beat Seattle Prep 16-8 in girls lacrosse Tuesday, and has won four consecutive games. ISD faces Bellevue Friday before meeting Overlake and Lake Sammamish next week. Standout Katie Bucy leads the team with 26 goals, while Nicole Victory has a team-high 16 assists on the year. Katie Earl and Mary Halabi have combined for 41 saves in goal, and Suzy Emerson leads the way with 18 ground balls, while Jordan Jepperle has added 17. Eastside Catholic faced Lakeside Wednesday looking for its second straight win.

Eastlake fighting for position
Alex Wu tossed the final two innings against Eastlake. CHARLES BLACKBURN, Courtesy photo Creekside youngsters catch passes from Seahawks’ practice squad player Chandler Fenner, as team mascot Blitz defends. JOSH SUMAN, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter
Creekside students ‘Play 60’ Students at Creekside Elementary in Sammamish were treated to a pair of special visitors Tuesday, as Seattle Seahawks mascot Blitz and Chandler Fenner, a member of the team’s practice squad, came to the school to promote the NFL’s initiative against childhood obesity. The “Play 60” program encourages youngsters to get out from in front of
the television or computer screen, and to put down their smart phones and tablets for a minimum of sixty minutes per day. Fenner, a defensive back from Holy Cross University, talked to the students about the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle, and then participated with a small group of them in a series of football-related activities.
Around two dozen Creekside students caught passes from Fenner, took handoffs from Blitz and tried out their punting leg, a la Seahawks standout Jon Ryan. Fenner, who was also accompanied by former player and current member of the franchise’s fan development department, also spoke about the importance of standing up to bullying.
Spartans leading division on baseball diamond Skyline beat Sammamish neighbor Eastlake 6-3 Monday to remain in first place. Cole Blackburn finished with three base hits, an RBI and two runs scored, while Jason Santiago added two more hits and three runs batted in in the win. Drew Lunde got the victory on the mound for the Spartans, tossing five innings and striking out six batters. He walked only two, and gave up two runs, both unearned, on two hits. The win was the fourth straight for Skyline, which was in first place in the Crown Division as of the Reporter’s Wednesday deadline. Coach Chris Tamminen’s squad faced Inglemoor Wednesday, and hosts Crest Division frontrunner Redmond Friday.
The Wolves had won three of four before falling to the Spartans, and tried to get back on track Wednesday at home against Garfield before traveling to Newport Friday. Eastlake sits only one game behind Bothell and Redmond for the top spot in the Crest, and has a game remaining against each in the final month of the season. The trio of Mason Pierzchalski, Kirk Boe and Mitch Augenstein have carried the load at the plate. Each has a batting average above .300 (Boe leasd the team at .429) and the three have combined for 21 runs scored and 18 RBIs.
Eagles looking to start streak Issaquah survived a 7-6 game with Inglemoor Monday, as it tries to remain in contention for a KingCo tournament berth. The Eagles, 3-4 in conference play, met Redmond Wednesday and host Woodinville Friday, and have now won three of their past four games.
Issaquah soccer player earns national recognition on slopes Isabella Gomez, a 12-year-old Bellevue resident, earned a second place finish at the recent USA Snowboard Association national tournament in Copper Mountain, Colo. Isabella, a sixth-grader and boarder for a team based at Snoqualmie Pass, was also third in bordercross and fourth in half pipe, giant slalom and slalom. She is also a member of the Issaquah Soccer Club’s Gunners premier team.

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. To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. agr.wa.gov/inspection/ WeightsMeasures/Fire woodinformation.aspx

The Newest Bank In Town Has A Very Familiar Look To It. When Bob Ittes was asked to open a Whidbey Island Bank branch in Issaquah, he knew exactly who should help him run it. He’d worked closely with Carmen, Charlotte and Julie for decades. Melodee, Jaclyn and Dorothy were also obvious choices to round out the crew, as each had extensive experience with other banks in Issaquah and the surrounding communities. What made it an even better fit for the bank and the new staff was the common belief that a successful community bank is based on the support of local people and businesses. With everyone back together again, this team is poised to become the bank for the eastside of the eastside. So if you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with any one of these folks, you might want to stop by and get caught up. Because in today’s ever-changing world, a familiar face can make all the difference.
