Sammamish Park Place sells to Talon for $128.25 million BY DANIEL NASH

ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Vulcan Real Estate announced Jan. 22 it had sold its Issaquah-based Sammamish Park Place office park to Talon Private Capital for $128.25 million. The 20-acre three-building park is home to divisions of Microsoft and Costco, the latter of which began its lease in August. The office park is fully occupied by the two companies. The sale will trade off a strong and steady income stream from the companies’ rents for an immediate boost to Seattle-based Vulcan’s capital coffers. That money will go toward new investment projects, said Ada M. Healey, the Vulcan Inc’s vice president of real estate. “Sammamish Park Place has been an excellent

investment for us with strong credit tenants and good cash flow,” Healey said. “As we rebalance our portfolio, we are raising capital for new investment opportunities around the region.” Responding to an inquiry from the Reporter, a spokesperson for Vulcan said the company could not share details of planned investments. But a forwarded response from Healey said investments would include ground-up development and the purchase of land and value added assets in the greater Seattle metro area. “We are targeting higher risk/reward investments on a go-forward basis,” Healey said. Talon Private Capital is a Seattle-based real estate investment firm with interests in commercial properties nationwide. The Sammamish SEE SALE, 2

Work is anticipated to begin later this year on a new city skate park in Tibbetts Valley Park, relocating and replacing a former skate park that had become bogged down by maintenance issues and criminal activity. The former park, easily concealed by the trees and hills, is east of the Issaquah Community Center. The new park is all but confirmed to be a slimmed down version of the design presented to the public in summer 2014, a situation that has some skate park advocates from the Issaquah Drug Free Community

During his tenure, the Chamber reported membership grew more than 20 percent, the highest among United States chambers of commerce. Today it has 445 members, including companies and individuals. Bott had earned his MBA shortly before taking the position, but his undergraduate background had been in the political and criminal sciences at Boise State University. He approached the executive position at the Chamber with a focus on involvement

with government affairs — particularly pertaining issues of economic development — and community engagement. “Matt has led the Chamber into a new era of engagement in public policy as it relates to economic development in Issaquah,” Board Chairman Alan Finkelstein said. “The Chamber intends to maintain its role in promoting Issaquah and Issaquah based businesses. The development in the Highlands, Talus, Swedish Hospital and the Costco corporate expansion, among other projects, has created great opportunities for Issaquah.” The board will announce plans for the CEO search soon.

Issaquah City Council approves simplified transportation plan Editor's Note: An editing error resulted in part of this story not appearing in last week’s Reporter. This is the complete story. BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Issaquah City Council unanimously passed a simplified transportation concurrency plan at its regular meeting Jan. 20. Transportation concurrency, as dictated by the state Growth Management Act, requires cities to manufacture a procedure for how they mitigate traffic impacts from new development and update said procedure periodically. The new plan, written by Issaquah's development services department over more than a year, moves the city away from a system with which it examined intersections and projects individually toward a

"system-wide" predictive model. "It's much simpler for us, much simpler for staff and moves us to a more holistic approach," Development Services Director Charlie Bush said. Additionally, the updated plan raises the traffic impact fees levied on developers. Kristi Triple spoke on behalf of Rowley Properties to express the Issaquah developer's support for the plan and what it could do to address crowded roads in the city. "It's not a secret that traffic congestion is the biggest problem facing citizens and business alike," she said. Kathy Orni, of Kirkland's YarrowBay Group, wanted to ensure the new plan would not change the terms of development projects in-progress. As recently reported ["Issaquah looks at costs, options in transportation plan," Jan. 16, 2015], the existence of the Central

Dogwood improvements coming BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Northwest Dogwood Street will be the site of extensive functional and aesthetic improvements this summer, but Dogwood drivers can expect the multimillion dollar projects to close the road’s midway

connecting bridge from late spring to early fall. The city of Issaquah hosted an open house Tuesday night regarding upcoming roadwork to Northwest Dogwood Street, one of the primary arterials connecting Front Street and Newport Way. The work, which won’t

begin until May according to the city’s website, will consist of two major projects: The replacement of the street’s bridge and upgrades to the sidewalks and water main system. Construction on both will take place concurrently over the summer.

Issaquah Plan complicated transportation concurrency due to the anticipated growth and associated costs in the middle of the city. Though he said he would vote for the plan update, Councilmember Joshua Shaer warned that the city should avoid hastening into "a valley of walls and towers" without a plan to pay for future road projects. Meanwhile, Councilmember Nina Mulligan recalled discussing transportation concurrency with development services from the moment she was appointed to the

position in February. "This is a satisfying moment and I'm so glad to be voting in favor of this," she said. She added that she hoped by factoring in the anticipated future road costs of the city — which the city did, though it wasn't a requirement of the Growth Management Act — the voters would develop an "appetite" for future transportation funding measures.

Time to get tougher on driving, cellphone use

istracted driving has become a scourge in our state. It’s bad enough that drivers routinely break the law by using cellphones to make calls and send text messages. What’s worse is that cellphones now also are used by drivers for so many other things: surfing the Web, writing emails, checking Twitter or Facebook. All are dangerous activities when you’re driving. And all of them are legal. Fortunately, the Legislature has a chance to fix that. A bill expected to be introduced this week would ban cellphone use while driving, except for making calls with hands-free devices. We expect there will be howls of indignation from the public. And some legislators are wary of limiting cellphone use. But, really? How is it possible to equate safe driving with taking your eyes off the road to compose and send an email? And when did checking and sending tweets become so urgent? We can see every day how holding a cellphone to an ear can make a driver clueless to such things as traffic speed or stop lights. It’s the same — maybe worse — for other uses of cellphones or tablets. Many states already ban using cellphones for many web activities. Washington state should, too.

Seahawks time

t’s almost here. The Super Bowl. And Seattle’s chance — a good one, we think — to cement what is likely to be the true birth of a dynasty. No more having to deal with deflate gate. No more eye-rolling over fines for Marshawn Lynch not talking to the media. No more having to fret about Patriots’ coach Bill Belichick’s shenanigans. Just football now. Seahawks football. Go ‘Hawks. – Craig Groshart, Issaquah & Sammamish Reporter

Lawmakers looking at election process

awmakers are looking at ways to make the election process cheaper for voters, easier to see who is funding campaigns and harder to run initiatives with financial consequences. Here are five bills that could mean big changes in coming election cycles. Exposing dark money: Senate Bill 5153 takes aim at political committees created and funded by nonprofit associaJERRY tions. Under existCORNFIELD ing rules, they can pretty much mask their identity and shield the source of their money. This bill creates a new class of political committee called incidental committees. These would file reports with the state Public Disclosure Commission if they spend at least $25,000 in a campaign for a statewide office or statewide ballot measure or $5,000 in a local contest like a county council race. Only those who contribute $2,000 or more to a

committee must be identified. Enough with the advice: House Bill 1323 would eliminate those statewide advisory votes. These nonbinding measures are the result of a provision in Initiative 960 which Mukilteo’s Tim Eyman sponsored and voters approved in 2007. It costs taxpayers to give their advice. The text of the bills and the votes of the lawmakers must appear in the voter pamphlets. In 2014, that information filled six pages and cost the state $87,761. In 2013, the tab was $164,444 for 10 pages of content. Election reduction: There would no longer be elections in February and April if House Bill 1379 became law. Instead, there would only be a primary in August and general election in November with provisions for special elections to deal with recalls and unexpected vacancies. Elections in February and April are typically when school districts and fire districts put their funding measures on the ballot. Picking up the tab: Some lawmakers worry the cost of a stamp — 49 cents for first class — is a barrier to voting. They’ve drawn up Sen-

ate Bill 5344 to require that return envelopes for primary and general election ballots include prepaid postage. Counties would pay and get reimbursed by the state. Hold that budget-busting initiative: There’s a bipartisan uprising to keep expensive initiatives off the ballot unless they include a means of paying for themselves. Senate Joint Resolution 8201 must be approved by a two-thirds majority in each chamber and then it goes to the people for a simple majority vote. Voters’ approval of Initiative 1351 in November is pushing lawmakers in this direction. That measure requires smaller classes at every grade level. It will cost an estimated $4 billion to carry out and lawmakers don’t know where they will get that kind of money. That’s why it’s likely that sometime this session lawmakers will act to amend or suspend the ballot measure.

Jan. 16 BACKSEAT BLOWOUT SALE: An officer received two reports of televisions being sold out the back of a van — one at Gilman Village and another at Home Depot. In both instances, the suspect car was a gray Dodge Caravan with out-of-state plates. The officer did not find the van at either location. IT HAPPENS: An officer responded to the 500 block of East Sunset Way, where a caller had reported her vehicle stolen. She said the car was paid off and she verified it hadn’t been towed. It eventually came to light that she had forgotten the car was in the shop for repair.

Jan. 17 GTA: A black 1997 Subaru SVX, valued at $2,500, was reported stolen from the 4400 block of West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast. VEHICLE PROWL: Approximately $700 worth of tools were reported stolen from a pickup truck parked on the 18500 block of Southeast Newport Way. IMPRACTICAL MAGIC: An officer contacted a citizen at her residence on the 300 block of Shangri-La Way Northwest. The woman told the officer her son had a disagreement with a female visitor on the subject of witchcraft. The visitor was asked to leave, at which time she claimed she would put a spell on the home and advised the residents “not to push her.” The officer took the report for informational purposes only.

Jan. 18 DOMESTIC: A 30-year-old Seattle man was arrested for domestic assault at an address on the 1600 block of 25th Place Northeast.

‘Around the World in 80 Days’ is fun for all ages BY DANIEL NASH ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Usually home to ambitious musical spectacles, Village Theatre's year-beginning midseason production is the company's opportunity to slow down and catch its breath on a pared-down production. But in the case of Mark Brown's "Around the World in 80 Days," directed by David Ira Goldstein, there's ambition to be found in modesty. The production takes a cast of five and tasks them with filling a dramatis personae of 39, a feat accomplished with healthy doses of humor, fourth wall breaks and good old-fashioned pretend time.

Brown's script is a farcical take on Jules Verne's classic adventure novel. In the hands of Goldstein and the cast, the show takes its production limitations and mines the necessary compromises for laughs — be the situation pantomime, rapidfire character changes or epic spectacles that always seem to be happening beyond the edge of the stage. They're constructing an elaborate inside joke and they're inviting the audience inside. The story hews closely to that of the novel.

him is that his eccentricities aren't an attempt to find solace in routine, but rather a personal tribute to the precision of a mathematical life. When the Daily Telegraph publishes an article postulating that newly built lines of public transport could allow the globe to be circumnavigated in 80 days, Fogg stakes his fortune on a bet that he can make the journey himself. Soon he spirits off with his French valet, Passepartout (Chris Ensweiler), to prove the possibility of the trip. But things prove more difficult than they seem, as a case of mistaken identity, unfinished train tracks, repeatedly missed boats and the attempted human sacrifice of Indian beauty Aouda (Aneesh Sheth in her first Village production) conspire against them. This show is fun, plain

The bulk of the character list is carried by Jason Collins and Eric Polani Jensen (Ensweiler and Sheth have few character swaps before they settle into their main roles, while leading man Brown has none at all).

a preternatural chameleon, adopting the mannerisms of each character he plays completely. Meanwhile Jensen is too distinctive to suspend disbelief — so the show doesn't bother. Consequently, Collins receives the most masterful stage changes — a prop moves here, audience attention is misdirected there and, boom, he's transformed —while Jensen's shifts are made intentionally awkward and obvious for the sake of the laugh. After getting a small taste of Sheth's comic timing and dramatic flexibility early in the show, you can't help but mourn a small loss when she permanently becomes the more sedate and serious character of Aouda — who primarily exists, in the original novel and the show, to prove Fogg's compassion. No such loss is felt for Ensweiler, who inhabits the liveliest single character in the show as Passepartout. Ensweiler turns the French-

man into a living cartoon, walking right up to the line of bombast without crossing over into obnoxiousness. His best moments are the ones spent alone with Jensen's incompetent Detective Fix. But his interplay with Brown is great as well — their scenes feel a bit like the Bobcat Goldthwait/ Neil Patrick Harris buddy comedy that never was. It's almost a shame for Brown, who's tasked with playing the stoic and unflappable straight man in the middle of all the slapstick. He's the designated driver at his own birthday party. But he carries the show well and is ultimately rewarded for it: Near the end he delivers one great line that feels like the punchline to a 100-minute setup. "Around the World in 80 Days" is a fantastic ride that comes highly recommended. And bring the kids — this is the rare show that has a little something for anyone.

Eagles throttle Knights in KingCo matchup

Sports Roundup What’s happening in the world of sports and recreation

Issaquah wins 11 of 14 matches against Newport

Iwicki wins coveted tournament

BY SHAUN SCOTT ISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

The Issaquah Eagles reigned supreme against the Newport Knights in battle between Class 4A KingCo wrestling squads. Issaquah cruised to a 66-9 victory against the Newport on Jan. 22 at Issaquah High School. The Eagles won 11 of the 14 matches against the Knights. Issaquah longtime head coach Kirk Hyatt was ecstatic to see his team finish the match with seven pins. "In baseball it's home runs, in wrestling it's pins," Hyatt said with a smile. "We don't just go for the win. We always go for the pin. That is our goal every time. We train for that." Issaquah wrestlers collecting wins with pins were Steven Solusod (113), Dakota Kutz (120), Chip Howell (132), Hunter Hurley (145), Colby Starren (160), Chance Gunther (182) and David Corbitt (195). William Tickman (106), Gunner Starren (126), Kaleb Solusod (138), and Bryce Magee (170) won by forfeit. The Eagles improved their overall record to 4-2 with the win. Hyatt believes his team is peaking at the right time. "We had a couple of tough matches early on. We lost to Inglemoor and Mount Si. We have got Bothell and Skyline left on our schedule. We're going to finish in the top three or four of our league and we're good with that," Hyatt said. "We're looking to the postseason tournament time." Hyatt, who has coached the Eagles wrestling squad for the past 20 years,

He sees a lot similarities from the Eagles of yesteryear and the Eagles of today. "We have a wonderful tradition. The kids on this team are wrestling just like we did back in the day. They fight hard every single day," he said. "I'm going to hang around and coach as long as I can." Newport head coach Michael Chenoweth was disappointed with his team's showing against Issaquah. The Knights won just two matches. Nolan Richardson (285) won by pin and Andrew Coyle (152) won by decision. One match was a double forfeit. The Knights had a much better showing the previous week in a 37-29 loss against Inglemoor on Jan. 15.

Eagles survive against Wolves

The Issaquah Eagles displayed their perseverance in a thrilling 48-45 win against the Eastlake Wolves on Jan. 23 in Sammamish. Issaquah (7-8) will host the Newport Knights at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 4 in Issaquah.

Crusaders win over Garfield

The Eastside Catholic Crusaders nabbed a 36-34 win against the Garfield Bulldogs on Jan. 23 in Sammamish. The Crusaders (9-7) will face the Franklin Quakers at 6:30 p.m. today in Seattle.

"The difference between last week and this week is that we came into the (Inglemoor) match ready to compete and this week for whatever reason, tonight we just weren't there," Chenoweth said. "We want our guys to go out and compete every match. Every once in awhile you kind of just chalk one up and move on. Issaquah is a very tough team, but we were hoping to compete a little better tonight." Chenoweth said there's no room for error once postseason action kicks off in the next few weeks. "Come tournament time if you have a distracted day, the season is over," he said. Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045;

In a contest featuring two state powerhouses, the Garfield Bulldogs registered a 68-54 victory against the Eastside Catholic Crusaders on Jan. 23 in Sammamish. The Crusaders (15-3) will face the Franklin Quakers at 8 p.m. today in Seattle.

Coalition concerned. The design drafted by Grindline Skateparks Inc. was nearly double the size of the existing park on Rainier Boulevard South, replete with half-pipes, plenty of obstacle surfaces and seated spectator areas, all in plain view of Newport Way and the Tibbetts Valley parking lot. But city staff quickly determined that buildout on the project would be more expensive than its $350,000 allowance. In his 2015 budget plan, Mayor Fred Butler proposed allocating an additional $150,000 for the project, but the idea was later nixed by the city council. “I’m excited about what we approved [in 2013] but I think we need to stick to that amount,” Councilmember Tola Marts said at the Nov. 4 budget session where the matter was decided. Now city staff are pursuing a modified design with a smaller footprint and fewer amenities. At the council’s Jan. 20 meeting, Drug Free Vice Chair Jerry Blackburn and Co-Secretary Geo Tamblyn thanked the lawmakers for their work on the project, but urged them to find a way to fully fund the project. They emphasized the importance of keeping the spectator areas in the design to make sure the park would be “positively populated with folks from the local community,” as Blackburn put it. “Beginners are going to need a place to stay and watch safely,” Tamblyn said. Tamblyn also serves on the citizens advisory board for the new skate park. He said he worried that without a full and deliberately planned investment, the new skate park would fall down the same “rabbit holes” that plagued the first. The Rainier Boulevard South skate park was built in 1997, one of the first on the Eastside. According to police and skaters who contributed to a Feb. 2011 story in the Reporter [“Issaquah Skate Park struggles with crime, cracked concrete”], the park had become a hotspot for crime. The Issaquah Community Network successfully petitioned the council to relocate the skate park in summer 2013.

New Value Village Store Opening in Issaquah

Friday, January 30, 2015

Paid Advertisement

National secondhand store Value Village opens the doors to a new location on Thursday, February 19.

National secondhand store Value Village opens the doors to a new location in Issaquah on Thursday, February 19, bringing unexpected treasures and incredible deals to the community. This will be the 26th Value Village store in Washington. Through its unique business model of purchasing, reselling and recycling donated items, Value Village provides sustainable funding to nonprofit organizations, offers communities a smart way to shop, and saves more than 650 million pounds of goods from landfills each year – making Value Village one of the largest recyclers of used goods in the world. “We’re thrilled to bring our good deeds and great deals to local residents,” said Cheryl Brincefield, Value Village store manager. “We take great pride in working with our nonprofit partners and in looking after the environment, while at the same time providing our customers with the best selection and shopping experience of any secondhand store. Everyone likes to find a great deal, and people really love to support their local communities. We make it easy to do both.” The new store opens in conjunction with a rising thrift shopping trend, which is one of the fastest growing retail segments. Lifestyle, economy and social trends have contributed to the growth, including the popularity of do-it-yourself projects, a renewed interest in vintage clothing, and importantly, environment and budget-conscious consumers. Value Village stores have been rapidly growing in popularity among all types of shoppers – ranging from families on a budget to six-figure professionals. Carrying everything from clothing and accessories, to housewares, electronics and more, Value Village is no ordinary secondhand store and has more than 100,000 high quality items on its sales floor at any given time. Customers will find a fresh stream of value-priced goods including authentic vintage finds and name brand fashions, with 10,000 new items stocked to the floor daily.

Despite this large volume of merchandise, shoppers won’t spend hours shuffling through stacks of items. Value Village is clean, bright and well-organized with racks of men’s, women’s and children’s clothing sorted by category and size, and shelves of housewares, books and even electronics neatly labeled for an enjoyable shopping experience. Average prices include $3.99 - $7.99 for most men’s shirts; women’s dresses from $7.99 - $14.99; shoes and handbags for $7.99 on average; and books from $0.69. And where does Value Village get this impressive inventory? Each store partners with local nonprofits, paying the organizations for used merchandise collected at Community Donation Centers located on-site at Value Village stores or donated directly to the nonprofits. The new Issaquah store’s Community Donation Center, which is now open, provides an easy, convenient way for residents to donate gently used clothing and household items. In the Issaquah community, Value Village has teamed up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound and Issaquah Schools Foundation. The partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters supports the organization’s mission to provide children facing adversity with strong and enduring, professionally supported one-to-one mentorships. From February 17-21, donations made at Value Village will also support Issaquah Schools Foundation’s Basic Student Needs Program. The Basic Student Needs Program assists students in need with clothing, dental care, breakfast food, school supplies, and other basic needs that prevent students from learning. Located at 5530 East Lake Sammamish SE, grand opening festivities begin Thursday, February 19, starting at 8:45 a.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The new location will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
