Kirkland says goodbye to the man who helped unlock the waterfront BY TJ MARTINELL

tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

irkland’s first city manager Al Locke has passed away but his impact on the city he served still lives on. He was 82. For 21 years, from 1965-1986, he oversaw the development of a small community into a city ac-

quisition of the waterfront parks, the consolidation of Houghton and the Costco headquarters that later led to the Kirkland Signature brand. A Minnesota native and Michigan State University graduate, he was described by friends and coworkers as outgoing and down-to-earth, as well as direct. Often,

he would hold meetings outside of city hall and at businesses where he could communicate with people. He also was known for his sense of humor, joking “What do you expect from a left-handed guy?” Janet Jonson was his executive assistant and worked for the city for 30 years. She said he was

a “people person,” as did former Kirkland mayor Jim Vaux. “He was down home, if you want to use the phrase,” he said. Locke first came to Kirkland in the 1960s after the city voted to change its government from a mayor-council to a council-manager sys[ more LOCKE page 2 ]

Kirkland firefighter with criminal past arrested for domestic violence BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

A Kirkland firefighter with a history of domestic violence is now accused of assaulting his girlfriend whom he has already been convicted of assaulting, according to King County prosecutors. The complaint comes on the

heels of another firefighter being involved in a prostitution ring, which resulted in the arrest and conviction of a gang member. Patrick Richard McManus is facing charges of domestic violence for allegedly assaulting his long-time girlfriend in February at his home in

Ravensdale. The altercation began when his girlfriend confronted him about an alleged secret online dating profile on Match. com. The woman found the profile while using his iPad. Because McManus’ 16-year-old daughter was in the house, they decided to take the dispute

upstairs, according to the King County Sheriff deputy’s report. In the bedroom, she allegedly requested to read the conversations he had with the women aloud. She told a deputy that McManus became violent. He grabbed her by the front of her neck and dumped a can of Pepsi on her head. He

then allegedly pulled her off the bed, pinning her down and placing a knee on her back to the point where she had trouble breathing. McManus then continued to pour Pepsi over her head, according to sheriff ’s report. When she told McManus she had trouble breathing he allegedly let

go and began to apologize, though he allegedly blamed the whole incident on her. After reassuring him she would forgive him, she contacted police after telling him she was going to get coffee. While she was gone, McManus called her and sent several text messages, [ more CHARGED page 7 ]

with Kirkland’s hills, as he had grown up around flat areas. Shortly after arriving in town, he took her new bicycle for a ride down 10th Avenue Northwest. A few minutes later Jonson’s six-year-old son approached her husband and said, “Dad, I think he needs your help.” Locke had gone straight over the handle bars while trying to brake and required 21 stitches. At the same time, Locke’s childhood growing up in a city located on the water would serve him well when he got a look at Kirkland’s waterfront. At the time, the properties had private owners. Gasoline-holding tankers were sitting in the water, and Marina Park was full of potholes and used for dumping. One day as they were walking along the ferry dock, former council member Dick Shinstron said Locke told him the city was not using the waterfront properly. After negotiating with the property owners to donate the land to the city, the city obtained funding for Houghton Beach and eventually redeveloped Marina Park. “He knew what Kirkland could look like,” former Kirkland mayor Bill Woods said. Locke also won numerous awards and served as

Former Kirkland city managers, from left, Al Locke, Terry Ellis, Dave Ramsey and current Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett stand together at the Kirkland waterfront in 2012. CONTRIBUTED, city of Kirkland the vice president of the International City Manager Association. Much of Locke’s success, Woods said, was his ability to negotiate, hire good staff and keep in the loop about what was happening not only in the city but in surrounding cities. “His humor conveyed a genuine concern for others,” Woods said. “He had a sense of vision. He had the ability to make it happen.” In 1968, Kirkland consolidated with Houghton, bringing the population up to 13,500. The Seahawks also

later made Kirkland its headquarters and training facility for the first 32 seasons at Northwest University. Although Locke stepped down as city manager in 1986, his coworkers at the city credit him with playing a role in convincing Costco to move its corporate headquarters there in 1987. Costco would later introduce the Kirkland Signature in 1995. “Al Locke was one of those rare individuals who made his organization better, his community better and his profession better,” said Kirkland City Manager Kurt

Triplett. “Al’s vision and management helped set the foundation for the exceptional city that Kirkland is today, particularly acquiring waterfront properties that are the parks that so many have enjoyed over so many years. He will be missed.” After leaving Kirkland, Locke went on to act as the interim manager for nearby cities as they incorporated. Locke is survived by his wife of 36 years, Jeanyne. A memorial service will be held 2-4 p.m. Aug. 18 at the Kirkland Performance Center.

Camp Unity Eastside encampment for homeless residents will return to Kirkland on Friday at the Kirkland Congregational Church. The group will return to Holy Spirit Lutheran church on Nov. 1. Camp Unity Eastside is a transitional mobile encampment and self managed outside community. “We make our focus on giving a hand up to those who have a need for simple shelter,” Outside Director Allen Bolen said. “Each member here is a responsible and active part of keeping CUE running.” The encampment set up in the church’s parking lot across from Kirkland City Hall on Aug. 1. According to the permit, the encampment will have a maximum of 75 people and will remain at the location until Oct. 31. To offset the cost of operating and handling the responsibilities that come from offering a place to reside, shower and eat, each

member pays a maintenance fee of $30. “In this way we empower our camp and each other to be contributors,” Bolen said. “We are supported by donations in kind.” The group will specifically accept meals, food and clothing from the community. “They are what makes us capable of providing beyond our own means,” Bolen said. This is the first time that the group has been hosted by the Kirkland Congregational Church. “We are excited to be part of Kirkland once again,” Bolen said. Kirkland Congregational Church is located at 106 5th Ave in Kirkland, while Holy Spirit is located at 10021 NE 124th St in Kirkland. The permit and Administrative Approval Decision is posted online at www. kirklandwa.gov. Members of Camp Unity were former residents of Tent City 4 and separated in November 2012, establishing its camp at Lake Washington United Methodist Church, 7525 132nd Ave. N.E.

Endless Summer Days When we were little Mom would boot us out of the house and tell us to go play with our toys in the backyard. She had too many chores to do to hang out and “entertain” us all summer. She would cook, clean, do yard work – all the adult stuff that seemed so boring. Once in awhile, when the sun was so hot and the days were so long, even Mom couldn’t resist the allure of the “swimming pool”! She would try to cool off alone and my brother and I would have nothing of that, in we’d go and spoil her moment to chill and relax. Now I’m her caregiver with life responsibilities and kids of my own. And I know what she knew back then – summers fly by in an instant.

Chainline Brewing has the support of the Kirkland business community It has come to my attention that a new startup business in the industrial area of the Everest Neighborhood, The Chainline Brewing Company, is receiving opposition from individuals who don’t want to see it opened. The Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce support seeing this business going forward for many reasons. The area is zoned for commercial and industrial enterprises. Clearly, this area of Kirkland is zoned for manufacturing of a variety of products. The owners of Chainline are manufacturing a desirable product that fits the purpose of this location. Chainline Brewing Company fits into the vision of what businesses the city wants to attract for the Cross Kirkland Corridor. Bikers, runners and walkers will appreciate stopping along the way to enjoy the tasting room. It is a perfect fit for the corridor. Brew pub tasting rooms attract a clientele that enjoys beer, but are not designed for heavy drinking. A visit to Fremont and Ballard in Seattle will show that the brew pubs like Hales Brewery and Maritime along the Burke-Gilman trail are waysides for the bike riders. Chainline’s Facebook page and website are targeted to bike riders and are clearly linked to a young and health-minded clientele. The Chamber is supportive of startup companies that generate jobs. They will do this well once they open and hire more employees. We also want to support businesses that attract a wide demographic of consumers. Brew pub tasting rooms like the Red Hook Brewery in Woodinville attract customers that are for customers of all ages, and are not 21-plus only. The owners of Chainline also listed several other examples of family oriented brew pubs -- some even with playgrounds. A child’s exposure to a brew pub is not a negative to families in other communities. The opposition reeks of prohibition values that all alcohol consumption is bad. If that is the case, then The Grape Choice, Vovina, Flatstick Pub and Via Lago, with their proximity to family-friendly Marina Park, would have been opposed. The Parkplace Cinema is next to Rikki-Rikki, Purple, Lucia and the Crab Cracker. All serve alcohol and have not resulted in injury to children attending the movies. The business corridor along 6th Street South is not populated with homes. Chainline Brewing Company has done everything required to open their business. We want to see them grow and prosper. We are supportive that they chose this location in Kirkland to open their business.

Bruce Wynn, Executive Director of the Greater Kirkland Chamber of Commerce

Sad precedent would be set if microbrewery stopped It’s really hard to believe that a few folks would raise a stink over the possibility of a small craft (nano) brewery in an industrial area of Kirkland. Must be that these people don’t get out much. We have no way of knowing just what the “ground rules” will be at the proposed Chainline, but the facts are that the entire concept of small breweries has gone through a major

Kirkland Summerfest takes place today through Sunday

he annual Kirkland Summerfest will take place this weekend starting today in downtown Kirkland. The event includes activities for all ages and interests. Organizers expect more than 10,000 people to attend the festivities this year as Kirkland’s Marina Park and downtown will be transformed for arts and entertainment.

On the lake The Moss Bay Cardboard Boat Regatta will take place Saturday at 3 p.m. and the annual Duck Dash will be on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The boat regatta features teams racing homemade creations for the chance to win in one of four categories: first place in the race, best design, best costume and the most spectacular sinking. The Duck Dash is the Kirkland Rotary Club’s annual fundraiser where hundreds of adopted “rubber duckies” will be blown across the waters of Marina Park to see which one crosses the finish line first. A prize will be given to the owner of the duck that wins the race. The T-37 Regatta is presented by Pacific Northwest Model Yacht Club and features remote controlled T-37 sailboats. T-37’s are 37-inch long wood hull sailing sloop. The event takes place at 11 a.m. on Saturday on the Marina Park waterfront along with the Seattle Flying Dragon Boats and Seattle SAKE Dragon Boats. Dragon boats are a team sport featuring 20 paddlers, a drummer and a steersperson. New this year will be the dog costume contest. Pooches from the community will participate in a costume contest at noon on Sunday on the Lake Street Stage. The Kirkland Fish Frolic art showcase will also be at Kirkland Summerfest. The Kirkland Fish Frolic along the Lake is a public art project that features 26 pieces of

art, all created from a base fiberglass fish sculpture created by artist Don Rothwell. Various renowned local and regional artists were commissioned to embellish them in their own unique style. Each of these unique sculptures is available for purchase at a “buy it now” price of $5,000. At least six sculptures have already been purchased. Any sculptures still available late next month will be offered at a gala auction on Sept. 25 at the Woodmark Hotel in Kirkland. Proceeds from the auction will be shared by the decorating artist and Kirkland Summerfest.

Robocall disgusting and sleazy

I have received the most disgusting, sleazy, robocall from the campaign for Joel Hussey that I can ever remember hearing from a PAC, representing any candidate. The call shocks my sense of civility and fairness, and offends my sense of decency. I would never put this kind of trash on my answer machine; why does someone else have the right to do it? It is an ugly invasion into my home. Why not run a campaign on a candidate’s merit, the issues and differences rather than stooping to low, slimy, personal attacks on an opponent? There must be some strong traits that your candidate possesses that he can run on and at least mention rather than simply choosing to attack his

violence after he choked his girlfriend by placing both of his hands around her neck and continued to hold her down by placing one of his knees in the area of her hips, according to the police report. The victim said he choked her so hard she could barely breathe for three minutes and she believed he would kill her. McManus served two days in jail for that crime, was given 24 months of probation, and ordered to complete a domestic violence treatment program. In a subsequent evaluation by Aby and Associates, a domestic violence intervention program, a licensed mental health counselor stated that McManus was “an extreme risk to the vic-

tim and/or community.” “This client has had multiple domestic violence arrests across three different relationships ranging from malicious mischief to assault,” the counselor wrote. “He has completed a previous domestic violence intervention program, yet reoffended.” Back in 1999, McManus was accused of fourthdegree assault for allegedly grabbing his then-wife by the coat, spinning her around and throwing her to the ground in front of their two young children. That case was dismissed. McManus has had four restraining orders filed against him, according to King County charging documents. In 2013, McManus was

put on probation with the state Department of Health after he answered “no” when asked if he had ever been convicted of a crime on his application to renew his Emergency Technician certification. As a result of the DOH investigation launched in 2011, the city demoted McManus to the rank of firefighter 5 at the end of his one-year probation as lieutenant in February 2012. In 2013, the city of Kirkland suspended him for 48 hours without pay for allegedly secretly recording a private meeting with Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett. It is illegal in Washington state to tape record someone without their knowledge.

opponent. This kind of slime and sleaze is the last thing I want representing me and the beautiful, wholesome community in which I strive to live. Run a real campaign on your candidate’s accomplishments and goals rather than lies and distortions about his opponent. That is what makes a contest.

funding led the Washington State Supreme Court to threaten the legislature with contempt of court because they simply didn’t do their jobs. I am also disgusted with Hill’s party. Not only do they lie on a national level, they have sent out misleading mailers attempting to discredit Matt on a local level. I guess they know how destructive Hill has been for the district so they have cannot promote his record; rather they make false accusations about his opponent. Matt will be a voice for progress, and a voice of reason down in Olympia. He is a true public servant, and has been his entire life; he grew up in Sammamish and served his community as an Eagle Scout, then served our nation in uniform in the Navy after he graduated from the Naval Academy. When he and his wife decided to move

back home to raise their family, he became active with the Lake Washington Schools Foundation and King County Veterans

Program Advisory Board. Matt Isenhower will be a strong voice for everyone in the 45th. I’m proud to have voted for him,

Jan Broz, Redmond

Proud to vote for Matt Isenhower I’m proud to vote for Matt Isenhower for State Senate in the 45th Legislative District. Matt will work hard for our schools, roads and will work across the aisle to find real solutions down in Olympia. I’ve been disappointed these past four years with Mr. Hill’s tenure in our State Senate. With him in charge of the budget committee, our state almost shut down because he couldn’t get the job done. His inaction on education

520 bridge to close State Route 520 Eastside Transit and HOV Project crews will be hard at work over the weekend as they place asphalt on new ramps and stripe the freshly paved lanes east of the SR 520 bridge.

The bridge is expected to reopen on Monday at 5 a.m. and I encourage everyone who cares about our future to do the same.

though none of them were threatening in any way, according to the deputy’s report. When deputies arrived at McManus’ home he had left but his daughter was still there. When questioned, his daughter allegedly told the deputy that it hadn’t been a “bad fight,” albeit she admitted she hadn’t seen what occurred. When McManus’ daughter attempted to call him to get him to come home, he didn’t respond. McManus’ daughter allegedly also told the deputy that her father had left to look for his girlfriend and told her to turn the lights off in the house because the police might show up.

A search in the bedroom upstairs showed no sign of soda being spilled. “When the Kirkland Fire Department learned of the charges filed against firefighter McManus, it placed the employee on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation,” Kirkland Fire Department Chief Kevin Nalder said. “The department’s investigation is in process.” McManus has had several prior convictions and other legal troubles. In 2001, McManus was convicted of malicious mischief and sentenced to 365 days in jail, with 365 days suspended. He was also fined $5,000, with $4,750 suspended. In 2009, McManus was found guilty of domestic

Traditional wisdom holds that retirees should value the safety of their principal above all else. For this reason, some people shift their investment portfolio to fixed-income investments, such as bonds and money market accounts, as they approach retirement. The problem with this approach is that you’ll effectively lose purchasing power if the return on your investments doesn’t keep up with inflation. While generally it makes sense for your portfolio to become progressively more conservative as you grow older, it may be wise to consider maintaining at least a portion of your portfolio in growth investments.

benefits in the form of an annuity. If you’re married you generally must choose between a higher retirement benefit paid over your lifetime, or a smaller benefit that continues to your spouse after your death.

Review your portfolio

Don’t assume that you’ll be able to live on the earnings generated by your investment portfolio and retirement accounts for the rest of your life. At some point, you’ll probably have to start drawing on the principal. But you’ll want to be careful not to spend too much too soon. This can be a great temptation, particularly early in retirement. A good guideline is to make sure your annual withdrawal rate isn’t greater than 4-6 percent of your portfolio. (The appropriate percentage for you will depend on a number of factors, including the length of your payout period and your portfolio’s asset allocation.) Remember that if you whittle away your principal too quickly, you may not be able to earn enough on the remaining principal to carry you through the later years.

You’ve worked hard your whole life anticipating the day you could finally retire. Well, that day has arrived! But with it comes the realization that you’ll need to carefully manage your assets so that your retirement savings will last.

specialist can be a tempting expense to cut. But a Kirkland-based nonprofit thinks music is too important to children’s development to lose. The president of the Children’s Music Foundation, Rourke O’Brien, frequently refers to a 1997 study by UCLA’s James Catterall showing that, among students tracked for 10 years, those with a musical education performed better on standardized testing. “The biggest finding was that the impact is cumulative,” said O’Brien, a Bellevue resident. “So if you start early the impact over time is quite huge. If you delay that to 3rd or 4th grade, you miss years you never get back.” The Children’s Music Foundation has produced a video-based music curriculum for 4- to 6-year-old students that can be facilitated by teachers untrained in music.

cal guest stars from around the world. Each lesson contains four to five “pause points” where the facilitating teacher can stop the video and reinforce the concepts with students. “At those pause points, (teachers) may do their own activity that they prefer, or that they’re comfortable demonstrating to their kids,” O’Brien said. Teachers often worry about specifics like hitting the right note, O’Brien said, but the videos provide a copilot to do the heavy lifting. The foundation commissioned a study on how the program was working out for six schools over the course of the 2012-2013 school year, submitted to the International Society for Music Education’s 2014 world conference in Brazil. The research found that the program improved children’s self-perceived musical skill in instruments and world cultures, more so than rhythm and pitch. But what improved most was teachers’ selfperceived skills in musical education.

tures and more than one month of summer remaining, the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission urges boating enthusiasts to be safe while enjoying the water. Getting a Boater Safety Education Card helps reduce boatingrelated accidents and fatalities. Hundreds of thousands of people enjoy boating on Washington’s waterways every year. Unfortunately, Washington has one of the highest boating fatality rates in the nation.

Since 2003, there have been 234 boating-related deaths in the state, with 11 so far this year. “Boating education is critical to boating safety,” said Wade Alonzo, Boating Program manager for Washington State Parks. “The more boaters know, the safer they will be— not only for themselves, but for their fellow boaters as well. That’s why the Boating Program at State Parks focuses its efforts on educating the community about the mandatory boater education law.”

The law requires boaters to carry a boater education card when operating a boat with 15 horsepower or greater on Washington’s waterways. To obtain a card, boaters must successfully complete an approved boating safety course and submit an application to get the card. This year, boat operators ages 12 to 59 are required to carry a boater education card. The requirement applies to boaters born on or after Jan. 1, 1955. Boaters born before Jan. 1, 1955, are

exempt from this law. To meet the new education requirements, boaters can take a course online or in a classroom, or they can take the State Parks Adventures in Boating Washington home study course. Cards cost $10 and are good for a lifetime.

prise when things went from zero to full speed,” he said. Scott Holm said much of the neighbors’ apprehension stems from a misconception about microbreweries. “We’re a family friendly tasting room,” he said. “People are pretty familiar with that. That kind of culture carries over pretty well. It’s for responsible folk who like to come in and sample and buy to take home. It’s generally a pretty reserved crowd, pretty social but not the type they were describing.” A flurry of emails obtained by the Reporter after a public information request, including from microbrewery owners in adjacent cities expressing support for Chainline Brewing, were received by the city in response to a July 25 blog post by Scott Holm requesting that their supporters make their voices heard. “This isn’t the Prohibition era anymore,” one person wrote to the city. “It’s laughable to think of children being “scandalized” by happening to see the outside of a mircobrewery on their way to ballet classes.” The Kirkland Chamber

Kirkland home prices up 12.6 percent Real estate numbers for June were recently released by Redfin’s RealTime Housing Market Tracker and Kirkland home prices were up 12.6 percent from the same time last year. The median home price for the Kirkland area was $512,500. The median price for single family homes was $673,500 and $314,000 for condos.

families,” Reith said. Previously, the district’s athletic fee for high schoolers was $275 per sport. Now, the fee will be $200 per sport and no individual student will pay more than $400, no matter how many sports they play. (The old cap per student was $550.) No family will pay more than $725 in athletic participation fees to the same school, down from the previous cap of $1,000. At the middle school level, the cost per sport in middle school will be $75, a reduction of $40. The maximum for an individual student will be $150, down from $210. The cap for fees for a family to the same school will be $225 at middle school, as opposed to $315 last year. LWSD increased its fees significantly in 2009 when it was hit with major budget cuts. Reith said based on community input, families were willing to pay the higher fees in order to keep

Reith said they surveyed parents on where they want money to go and developed the budget accordingly. The LWSD board first received a draft of the budget at its June 23 meeting. Reith said there were no comments from the public at Monday’s meeting and the budget passed with no changes.

n Monday night, the Lake Washington School District (LWSD) board of directors unanimously voted to pass the budget. For the 2014-15 school year, the district’s budget will include a 6.7 percent increase in revenues, rising from $256.3 million to $273.4 million in its general fund. “For the first time in many years, we have been able to restore some of the things we cut many years ago and to be able to put back into some place much needed resources,” LWSD School Board President Jackie Pendergrass said. LWSD director of communications Kathryn Reith said the $17.1 million increase comes from various things, including $5.3 million from an increase in enrollment, as school districts receive funding based on the number of students in the district. In addition, $2.5 million comes from increased levy receipts and $7.8 million comes from new state funding. The latter has been the result of the McCleary state Supreme Court decision, which requires the state to more fully fund basic education. “Some of (the court decision) is starting to take effect,” Reith said. The court decision ruled the state was not meeting its obligation to fully fund K-12 public education as required by the state constitution. While the LWSD budget has increased, the district’s expenditures also increased, by 5.1 percent. According to an LWSD press release, a significant

rise in spending came in staffing to support increased enrollment. That need will require an expenditure of $3.8 million. Other costs are increases in staff compensation, health care and pension costs, and another $3.8 million and $2 million for specific programs from grants and self-supporting programs. Reith said some of the areas the increased revenue will help include more staff for professional learning for teachers, four literacy coaches at the elementary level, five more school nurses, and additional grounds and custodial staff and equipment. The additional funding has also allowed the district to hire two mental health/social workers, Reith said. In addition to being able to hire more staff, she said the district has also been able to reduce its athletic fees. “That’s been a financial burden on some of our

Day Out for Autism tomorrow at Juanita High School BY TJ MARTINELL tmartinell@kirklandreporter.com

A state-wide autism advocacy group is holding an event in Kirkland for autistic children this weekend.

The Washington Autism Alliance and Advocacy (WAAA) is holding a Day for Autism event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Juanita High School. The event includes activities designed

to help autistic children. Jess Silvernail, WAAA’s primary organizer for the event, said the activities are intended to help the kids interact with adults and other children through various meth-

ods that engage certain senses, such as hearing and touch. One such activity includes the use of music. “It’s been amazing to reach those kids to communicate with them and

National experts, locals commend EvergreenHealth for care and service For the second consecutive year, U.S. News & World Report named EvergreenHealth as one of the top health care organizations in the region for its exceptional clinical care. The publication’s 2014-15 rankings name the Kirkland-based health system the No. 2 hospital in the Seattle metro area and No. 3 hospital in Washington state. In addition to national acclaim, EvergreenHealth recently earned recognition from local consumers as “Best Hospital” in the annual 425 magazine Best Of poll, for the second year in a row. “It is a great honor to be recognized for our care and service – both by data-driven experts who evaluate our clinical care and outcomes, and by local residents who continue to choose EvergreenHealth as their preferred health care partner,” said EvergreenHealth CEO Bob Malte. “We work hard to earn their

trust and provide an exceptional experience for our patients and their families, and recognitions like these are a humbling testament to the providers, staff and volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to provide the community with the highest quality care and service.” U.S. News & World Report recognizes hospitals that excel in providing the best care for the most serious or complicated medical conditions and procedures. It’s annual “Best Hospitals” rankings, now in its 25th year, help guide patients who need a high level of care because they face particularly difficult surgery, a challenging condition or added risk because of other health problems or age. “The data tell the story – a hospital that emerged from our analysis as one of the best has much to be proud of,” said U.S. News Health Rankings Editor Avery Comarow. “A Best Hospital has demonstrated

its expertise in treating the most challenging patients.” U.S. News acknowledged EvergreenHealth for high performance in nine specialty areas including cancer, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology and GI surgery, geriatrics, nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics, pulmonology and urology. U.S. News evaluates hospitals in 16 adult specialties. In most specialties, it ranks the nation’s top 50 hospitals and recognizes other high-performing hospitals that provide care at nearly the level of their nationally ranked peers. Objective measures such as patient survival and safety data, the adequacy of nurse staffing levels and other data largely determine the rankings in most specialties. Locally, consumers named EvergreenHealth “Best Hospital” in the annual 425 magazine Best Of poll, for its patient-centered approach. Readers named EvergreenHealth’s 24/7

Nurse Navigator & Healthline and its knowledgeable and experienced team of professionals among the reasons for entrusting EvergreenHealth for their health care needs. The U.S. News specialty rankings and data were produced by RTI International, a leading research organization based in Triangle Park, North Carolina. U.S. News produced the state and metro rankings using the same data. The U.S. News rankings have been published at http://health.usnews. com/best-hospitals, will appear in print in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2015 guidebook and will be available at bookstores and newsstands August 26. The results of the 425 magazine poll are published at www.425magazine.com/ best-425.

discharge permit standards every month for five consecutive years with no violations of any kind. The company also received the award in 2000. Gold Awards were earned by 44 companies for compliance with wastewater discharge regulations every month in 2013 with no violations. The program presented Silver Awards to 27 companies for having no King County monitoring discharge violations in 2013. Since 1969, the Industrial Waste Program has required industrial facilities to pretreat wastewater before discharging it into the sewer to protect the County’s treatment system and its workers as well as the environment and public health. In addition to applying federal, state and local environmental regulations and monitoring facilities for compliance, the program educates industrial users about regulatory requirements and pollution prevention.
