Gaskill, 43, is being investigated for the alleged theft of funds from the City’s Police Explorer program, where he volunteered, the Gaskill KSO said. According to the KSO, “The Sheriff ’s Office investigation looked at receipts, ledgers and bank accounts for the City’s Police Explorer Program after City employees began to suspect theft from the program money.” Gaskill took over as the City’s interim chief last summer upon the retirement of Police Chief Buster MaGehee.

Survey: Number of homeless youth in county holding stable FOR THE REPORTER

A total of 824 youth and young adults ages 12 to 25 were counted as homeless or unstably housed on Jan. 21, according to results recently released from the Committee to End Homelessness (CEH) and Count Us In – the county’s fifth annual count of homeless youth in King County. Improved count methodologies, expanded count locations and an increase in youth shelter beds compared to one year ago account for much of the increase, the report said. A consistent profile of young people experiencing homelessness or housing instability in King County is emerging as count results are compared from year to year. Twelve percent of young people counted are under the age of 18, and 22 percent are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or questioning (LGBTQ) youth – identical to the 2014 count.

Consistent with previous years are the percentages of African American/Black young people, 34 percent and Hispanic young people at 13 percent. The stability in Count Us In demographic results adds confidence to the regional understanding of the population of young people who are homeless and their needs. “We have a better understanding than ever before of youth homelessness in King County,” said Mark Putnam, director of the Committee to End Homelessness in King County. “Even one homeless young person is too many, and having the most reliable count of youth experiencing the crisis of homelessness can only strengthen our community’s response.” Count Us In occurs alongside the One Night Count, an annual pointin-time count of people who are experiencing homelessness. Count Us In allows for a “deeper dive” into the scope of youth and young adult homelessness to inform planning and services to meet the needs of this unique population.

● QUOTE OF NOTE:

Fossil fuels aren’t going away soon Folks in the Pacific Northwest may not like what Matt Ridley has to say, but we should consider his points about energy. Ridley, a British journalist and author of several popular books on science, the environment and the economy, is a businessman and a member of the House of Lords. He is often shunned because he owns land where coal is mined. Recently, Ridley wrote in The Wall Street Journal that while oil, gas and coal have problems, their benefits are beyond dispute. He advances three reasons for not giving up on fossil fuels. First, they’re plentiful. That may surprise some, since opponents constantly warn that we’re running out. In 1922, a U.S. presidential commission claimed that, “Already the output of gas has begun to wane. Production of oil cannot long maintain its present rate.” In 1977, President Jimmy Carter warned, “We could use up all the proven reserves of oil in the entire world by the end of the next decade.” But with new discoveries and new technology, America is becoming the world’s top producer of oil and natural gas. We also are blessed with the world’s largest supply of low sulfur coal in Montana and Wyoming. Ridley says that, when the shale revolution goes global, oil and gas will provide ample power for decades, if not centuries. Waiting in the wings is methane hydrate, a seafloor source of energy larger than all the world’s coal, oil and gas combined. Second, despite billions in subsidies, alternative fuels have trouble competing. On a global level, the growth of renewable energy has merely made up for a decline in nuclear power. In 2013, about 87 percent of the world’s energy came from fossil fuels, a figure virtually unchanged in the last decade.

A March 9 study session was cancelled because councilmembers attended a National League of Cities convention in Washington, D.C.

160,000 Washingtonians have been able to buy affordable healthcare through the Washington Healthplanfinder – three out of four of them through the plan’s financial assistance. In King County we’ve cut the percentage of adults without health insurance by nearly half. The law achieved these results in three stages. First, everyone in this state received the security and

BNSF faces penalty for violating spill reporting rules REPORTER STAFF

State rail safety regulators on March 19 recommended BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) be penalized for failing to timely report multiple hazardous material spills along state railways. Among the violations that were recorded was an incident in the BNSF Auburn yard, where six tank cars were Peloza found leaking crude oil on Jan. 13. The Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) issued the formal complaint following a staff investigation into BNSF’s failure to report 14 releases of various hazardous materials, including crude oil, to the state within the required time period.

In King County, our “all hands on deck” approach lifted the barriers of geography, race and language to enroll more than 200,000 people in either health insurance or Medicaid. Our countywide effort was praised by the White

State rail safety rules require railroads to make a telephone report of the release of a hazardous material within 30 minutes of learning of the incident to the Washington State Emergency Operations Center’s (EOC) 24-hour duty officer. Auburn City Councilmember Bill Peloza, who has repeatedly expressed concerns about the dangers posed by the passage of fast-moving oil trains through the city, certainly had not heard of it as of March 25 and was flabbergasted when he learned of the leaks in a phone interview with a reporter. “No, I haven’t heard anything about that. In our own yard? Holy cow. That’s serious,” Peloza said. The commission staff inves-

tigation found that between Nov. 1, 2014 and Feb. 24, 2015, BNSF committed 700 violations of this reporting requirement. Under state law, each day the company fails to report an incident constitutes a separate and distinct violation. The commission has the authority to impose penalties of up to $1,000 per violation, per day of state law or rule. When a company fails to notify the EOC that a hazardous material incident has occurred, critical response resources may not be deployed, causing potential harm to the public and the environment. There could also be a delay in response and containment resources necessary to clean up hazardous material spills. In October 2014, commission staff sent BNSF a copy of the reporting requirements,

Staff also sent a letter to the regulated railroad industry on Feb. 4, 2015, emphasizing the requirement to provide reports and telephone the EOC within 30 minutes of learning of an event involving fatalities or injuries, the release of hazardous materials, or property damage greater than $50,000. The companies were informed that failure to provide the required reports is a violation of commission rules and that staff may recommend enforcement action or monetary penalties for companies that fail to report incidents as required.

Allowing this to continue serves our kids poorly. The Carbon Pollution Accountability Act is just the legislative solution we need. This bill would charge a market-based fee for carbon pollution, finally encouraging our heaviest polluters to cut their emissions while using the fee money to fund schools. It’s just common sense, but that never guarantees legislative success. We need real leadership on this issue. That’s why I’m hoping that House Democratic Majority Leader Pat Sullivan will rally the votes needed to pass this bill.

[ BRUNELL from page 5 ] While the overall volume of fossil fuel use has increased, CO2 emissions per unit of energy have declined. The biggest reason is the switch from coal to natural gas for electricity generation, even though opponents still block lower emission LGN (Liquid Natural Gas) plants like the one planned in Coos Bay, Ore. Other problems with renewable energy are space and cost. To run the U.S. economy on wind would require a wind farm the size of Texas, California and New Mexico combined. And because wind and solar are intermittent, we would still need coal and natural gas to provide backup power. The cost of subsidized renewable energy is coming

down, especially solar. But even if solar panels were free, the power they produce has trouble competing with fossil fuel. For example, in sunny Hawaii where electricity is very expensive, solar is growing and LNG is being substituted for oil-fired electricity. The third issue for fossil fuel is carbon emissions. In Mississippi and China, coal gasification plants are being developed which dramatically reduce greenhouse gases while generating plentiful power on just a few acres. But rather than invest in these technologies, we’re closing coal plants. Living in relative comfort, American critics have the luxury to recoil at the thought of fossil fuels. Meanwhile, more than one billion people in other parts of the world have no access

Americans have the ingenuity to export energy and technology,º if we set our minds to it. Why not encourage research and development of cleaner fossil fuels, along with solar and wind?

about the test, specifically whether it could accurately measure performance. “I think there are some concerns there, but I think if there are 49 other states that have figured a way to retain this money, then we should be able to figure that out as well.” Hargrove added that a bill on the topic is moving through the Legislature. Fain elaborated on the subject, adding that the loss of money hit Title I schools hard in the 47th District, which serves high numbers of low-income families. The loss of the federal funds have hit the Kent School District to the tune of $1.1 million, with Auburn taking a $625,000 hit.

Every job needs some way to measure performance, so you can decide if they need to be rewarded, or if they need help improving.

Compost Days celebrates spring, residents and gardens BY ROBERT WHALE rwhale@auburn-reporter.com

Spilling from truck beds and heaped in large piles at Seattle Tilth Farmworks site on Southeast Lake Moneysmith Road southeast of Auburn, it gently assaults the nostrils of all comers with a rich, funky aroma. It is compost. On March 15, Compost Days, an annual, month-long celebration of – as one might guess, compost – and Cedar Groves’ second annual the Big Garden Give, were launched at the farm. Which is a big deal. For every bag of compost that Cedar Groves, a Seattle-based composter of food scraps and yard waste, sells during its March 15-to-April 15 campaign, it will donate one bag of compost to community gardens throughout King and Snohomish counties. For 20 weeks during the growing season, farmers who rely on the compost for their community gardens package up food bags and send them out into the community, creating healthy produce for low-income families. For the 2014 Big Garden Give event, Cedar Groves donated more than a half-mile of compost to local community gardens, about 150 pickup-truck-loads worth. To start off this year’s Big Garden Give, Cedar Grove will donate 500 yards of finished compost to local gardens to provide free compost to schools and to more than 120 gardens that grow food for low-income residents. Then, throughout Compost

The company will donate a bag of compost to the gardens every time a resident completes one of these steps. Call it Cedar Groves’ way of saying thank you to all the people who compost at curbside throughout the year. In 2014 alone, local communities using curbside compost carts helped divert from landfills more than 350,000 tons of yard waste, food scraps and other compostable materials.

new farmers and sets up marketing outlets for them, including the 16 farmers raising crops, chickens and pigs at the farm. “It’s an organic operation out here, all of our practices are organic, so a big part of fertility management is the compost, and that’s how we tie into Compost Days,” said Matthew McDermott, program manager for Seattle Tilth Works. “We have a relationship with Cedar Grove – they kindly donate a large amount of compost each year, to the tune of about 150 yards. It gets applied to the fields, which provides nutrients and builds the organic matter for the healthy plants to grow.” Maria Anderson, who uses the compost to grow mushrooms in an abandoned pool house on the 9-acre site, in addition to vegetables, praised Seattle Tilth Works. “It gives beginning farmers like me a marketing outlet that we would normally never, ever have. I am able to run my own farm business three or four years ahead of when I would have been able to do it on my own. “We have shared resources here, tractors, a cooler for all of the produce, stuff that is quite a financial hurdle for a beginning farmer trying to do it on their own.” Need compost?

Digging dogs: Unearthing reasons for Fido’s actions BY KATHY LANG Family Dog Training Center

Spring is here. Your freshly-planted annuals look great. You go into the house to wash up. A few minutes later Fido paws at the door to come inside and his feet are covered with fresh dirt. You rush past him to see an enormous hole where your pansies once stood. What can be done about digging dogs? It’s true. Some dogs will dig to imitate their owners. For a few families, eliminating the digging is as simple as keeping the dog out of view during planting and weed-pulling periods. For most pet owners, though, digging can be more problematic. Dogs dig for several reasons, including: imitation; physical and mental boredom; genetics (terriers were bred to dig); access to something desirable (another dog on the other side of the fence or inside the house with you); interesting or exciting stuff in the dirt (cat poop, moles, etc.); to get cool or warm

Dogs dig for a variety of reasons – boredom, cooling, escape, genetic, burying toys and bones or food, hunting and separation anxiety. COURTESY PHOTO

(depending on the ambient temperature). The first way to deal with digging is to determine the reason the dog digs. If you own a terrier, the easiest solution may be to give the dog a specific place to play in the dirt. If your dog is digging randomly around the yard, is he going after something,

or is he just bored? Think prevention, redirection and exercise. If Fido’s holes are next to the fence or the house, he may be trying to escape the yard. Figure out why to truly fix the problem. You can prevent a dog from digging in certain areas with standard or invisible-type fences. A clearlydefined boundary and daily reinforcement training on a leash or a long line can help a dog understand to stay out of your vegetable garden. Sometimes a section of chicken wire placed on top of the grass or dirt where the dog likes to dig is enough of a deterrent. Some owners have success with a thick layer of black pepper as a deterrent, while others only find success after months of spying on their dogs and catching them in the act. Figure out why your dog digs. Then apply the principles of prevention and redirection, along with additional mental and physical stimulation until your dog understands “no holes allowed!”

BOYS SOCCER GAMES ON TAP THIS WEEK

The march to the South Puget Sound League 3A title continues this week with a full slate of boys soccer games. For Auburn (0-1 league, 1-2 overall) it’s a 7 p.m. home contest Friday against Enumclaw (0-1, 1-1-1) at Auburn Memorial Stadium. Auburn Riverside (0-1-1 overall) hosts Sumner (1-1 overall) at 7 p.m. Friday at Auburn Riverside High School. Auburn Mountainview (1-0, 1-1) does not play until next Wednesday, when the team travels to Sunset Chev Stadium in Sumner to take on the Spartans at 7 p.m.

BY SHAWN SKAGER sskager@auburn-reporter.com

Before Vaughn Daggs school-record-setting, 11.22-second 100-meter run on March 19, Auburn Mountainview Lions coach Joel MacDougall struck a deal with him. “MacDougall said if I broke the 100 (record), he would buy me McDonald's,” the AMHS junior said. Daggs is still waiting, ready to get his fill at the Golden Arches. “I’m going to get as much stuff as I can,” he said. The same holds true for the rest of the Auburn Mountainview boys track team, which is primed to garner a whole lot of shiny hardware for the school’s trophy case this season. MacDougall said this year’s squad could be the best he has ever coached. “This group of juniors that we have right now are the best athletes I’ve seen here,” MacDougall said. “The big thing for us this year is having not just one person in an event but having two or three. It not only increases the competitiveness within the team, but also when we go to the meets we have three people that place in the event. "And there is really not any area that we aren’t good at," he added. "We have some really good distance kids. Our freshmen, who started with us last year, are getting good.

Auburn Mountainview juniors Gavin Robertson, left, and Vaughn Daggs, right, lead the Lions boys track team. SHAWN SKAGER, Reporter

Ready to roar

Lions boys track and field team on pace for successful 2015 campaign Suddenly, we’ve just got a real balanced team.” That has already paid off with a 102-43 South Puget Sound League 3A dual win against Sumner on March 19, and a first-place finish at the Cardinal Relays this past Saturday. “I feel like Pete Carroll

has stolen our line because we’ve been saying it for years. We’ll take athletes over fast kids because athletes will compete … that’s our philosophy," MacDougall said. “If we can get competing kids out here, you’ll see better marks and better times. I mean,

it’s nice to have the fast kids around, still, kids like Gavin (Robertson) who can jump out the gym, and kids who are powerful runners can get us points in any event.” Like his teammate, Daggs, Robertson has been hot out of the gate, posting a school-record triple jump of 44 feet, 6 1/2 inches against Sumner. The distance is the second best in all classifications in the state this season, with Bear Creek senior Jonathan Magee having the longest leap at 45-5 1/4. “I wasn’t surprised by Gavin. We knew what he was capable of,” MacDougall said. “Last year with the injuries he wasn’t able to do much except for in a few meets.” Robertson agreed. “I expected to come out pretty good and do better than I did last year,” Robertson said. “We did pretty good as a team coming out. I think it’s the start of a great year. The boys team is real strong. Last year we had some good people in selected events. This year we’re good all around. Everything is adding up, and I think we’re going to do pretty good as a team. Everybody gets along and knows each other.” In addition to Daggs and Robertson, the Lions have a standout in the shot put with senior Trevor Jensen, who is first in the state 3A rankings with a throw of 50-5 1/4.

RAVENS AT A GLANCE COACH: Bryce Strand, third year LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 4-16 overall, seventh place in South Puget Sound League North 4A with 4-12 record TOP RETURNERS: Taylor Poe, senior, pitcher/shortstop; Hannah Juth, senior, outfielder; Emily Polkow, senior, third baseman/outfielder; Loreah Maranan, senior, shortstop/ third baseman; Alli Hand, junior, catcher; and Lyzelle Maranan, junior, second baseman. TOP NEWCOMERS: Precious Atafua, senior, outfielder; Kiana Drumheller, senior, outfielder; Mindy Wanner, freshman, third/ first baseman; and Jordyn Judge, freshman, pitcher/outfielder. OUTLOOK: Last year the Ravens struggled through the SPSL North 4A with a 4-12 league record. This season Auburn Riverside looks to work its way through a tough SPSL 3A stocked with solid teams like Bonney Lake (state 3A competitor last season) and Enumclaw (second place at 3A state). Already, the Ravens are showing improvement with a 3-2 nonleague record. To make the most out of the drop to 3A, the Ravens are looking to returners like Poe, who had three of the team’s victories in the circle and hit .388, and Hand, who hit .445 last season. The addition of Atafua and Drumheller, both natural

www.auburn-reporter.com “For soccer, I have club, and we’re getting to the point where I’m looking at colleges for that,” Rotter said. “So I decided to come out and try something different.” Across the board, MacDougall said numbers are up for the program, with 65 kids turning out for the boys team. More important, he has been the level of buy-in for the team’s core. “We just tell every kid to just go out and compete,” MacDougall said. “We tell them to compete against yourself, compete against your body, compete against your teammates and compete against your opponents. And it’s starting to work. You can see the kids out there pressing themselves.” And if they find themselves struggling, they can always look to the leadership of Daggs and Robertson. “The other thing we’re really looking for with Gavin and Vaughn is

[ TRACK from page 15] The Lions' 400 relay team also is among the best in the state with Victor Daggs, Vaughn Daggs, Robertson and Michael Causley posting a 43.79, sixth best in the state in all classifications. “And we’ve got a fourby-four-hundred relay team we’re pretty proud of,” MacDougall said. The Lions' 1,600 relay team is first in the SPSL 3A with Adam Knyaz, Jake Weathers, Ki’Jan Weisinger and Justan Hardaway posting a 3:38.79. MacDougall pointed out that Weisinger still holds the Auburn School District middle school 800 record. “He’s one of the top in the state right now,” he said.

about it so, we had to step up,” Daggs said. “I kind of lead by example because I don’t like talking too much. I just like doing the workouts and trying to be a leader.”

Gavin Robertson snags fourth in the triple jump at last season’s Washington 3A track and field championships. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter that we really want to see some leadership, especially with Gavin. He’s not a rah-rah, vocal leader. He’s very quiet.

ALSO: The Raven boys look to make their mark on the SPSL 3A and beyond this spring with a trio of front-runners setting the pace. Among them are junior hurdler Chris McGraw. Already this season McGraw is closing in on last year’s personal records (PRs) in the 110 and 300 hurdles. He has already posted a 49.32 in the 300, just shy of his PR of 47.48 from last season. In the 110, his 17.43 set in the league jamboree on March 14 is encroaching on his PR of 17.16 set last season. … Also leading the charge for the Auburn Riverside boys is senior sprinter Ronald Lashley, who posted a PR of 24.45 in the 200 against Peninsula on March 19. Lashley also runs the 100. …

[ PREVIEWS from page 15]

COACH: Charlie Frampton, year

athletes who helped Auburn Riverside capture the 3A state volleyball title this season, should help bring a winning attitude and hopefully fuel Auburn Riverside’s first playoff appearance since 2010.

LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 0-15 overall, last-place in the SPSL North 4A with a 0-14 record. TOP RETURNERS: No information received.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: The Ravens host Auburn Mountainview for a league contest on April at Sunset Park. The Ravens play Enumclaw and Bonney Lake for the second time on April 21 and 23, respectively.

TOP NEWCOMERS: No information received.

COACH: Alicia Thompson, fourth year LAST YEAR’S RECORD: 13-11 overall, second place in the SPSL 3A with a 9-6 record. TOP RETURNERS: Zoe Collins, sophomore, pitcher/outfielder; Emily Martinez, sophomore, catcher/shortstop; and Savanna Gusman, senior, outfielder/third baseman.

Emily Martinez, a junior catcher/shortstop for the Auburn Mountainview fastpitch team, looks to help lead a young Lions squad out of a tough South Puget Sound League 3A this season. She’ll be aided by her fellow returners Zoe Collins and Savanna Gusman. RACHEL CIAMPI, Reporter OUTLOOK: With five freshman, four sophomores, a junior and three seniors on this year’s roster, the Lions look to grow quickly in the SPSL 3A.

TOP NEWCOMERS: Lilly Hope, freshman, shortstop/catcher; Caitlyn Rhoades, freshman, pitcher/shortstop/ second baseman; Emily Houck, freshman, second baseman/outfielder; and Emily Bartholomew, freshman, outfielder.

“We are very young,”Thompson said. “With one junior and one senior starter, the rest of our starting lineup is sophomores and freshmen. My sophomores are carrying on the winning tradition

OUTLOOK: To say the Trojans struggled last year is an understatement. The team finished dead last in the SPSL North 4A without a win and was outscored by an average of more than 12 runs a game. This season, the Trojans have already shown improvement with a 2-2 record in nonleague play as they head into SPSL 3A play. In a pair of games against KentMeridian on March 16 and 19, Auburn outscored the Royals by a combined 40-0. The team’s two losses were 12-1 to White River – a 2A state competitor from last year – and Interlake 18-8. MARK YOUR CALENDAR: Everybody in the SPSL 3A will measure themselves against Enumclaw this season, with the Trojans squaring off against the Hornets on March 31 and April 22. Games for city bragging rights are against Auburn Mountainivew on April 7 and 30 and Auburn Riverside on April 14 and May 7.

Kiwanians to celebrate centennial, tackle AYR project Kiwanis Division 32 celebrates its centennial on Saturday, April 11, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with a one-day service project at Auburn Youth Resources, 936 Auburn Way S. More than 100 Kiwanians from 10 clubs – including Auburn, Kent, Renton, Federal Way, Black Diamond, Covington and

Maple Valley – will converge to give AYR a total makeover, from painting and landscaping to pressure washing and moving dirt and gravel. The club will place a time capsule at the site to mark 100 years. Kiwanians also plan to gather a small group at AYR at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 4, to remove juniper bushes, grind stumps and

complete other chores. The Kiwanians chose to make AYR into a campuslike environment from a variety of proposed projects. AYR provides services to low-income youth and families in South King and North Pierce counties. AYR provides clinical, residential and homeless outreach to adolescent substance abuse services to

Give rides to change lives Volunteers needed to drive program FOR THE REPORTER

Fern Malavaceo gets around with a little help from her friends. Forty years ago, she decided that driving wasn’t for her. It caused her great anxiety, especially after she’d had multiple, harrowing experiences behind the wheel on freeways in the rain. She relied on her kids to take her to appointments when they could, but she often felt stuck when they were unavailable. She then registered for Senior Services’ Volunteer Transportation three years ago. “The program is such a

They’re like family members to me.” Since 1975, Senior Services’ Volunteer Transportation drivers have accumulated “miles and

more than 12,000 residents. Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers that focuses on serving one child and one community at a time. The public is invited to the celebration. For more information, call Trudy Ginther at 253-222-0147 or Tawnya McLavey at 253-397-6650. Clients of the program often refer to them as their “heroes,” “guardian angels” or “life-savers.” In a tangible way, volunteer drivers make a difference in the lives of vulnerable members of our community. Volunteer Transportation faces the grim reality that it cannot serve all Auburn seniors in need of rides to important medical care. More volunteer drivers are needed.

Judy Hawley Smith was born in Tacoma, WA on September 25, 1939 to Orville and Chela Wiley. On Sunday, March 8, 2015 she passed away peacefully at home and went to hold her grandson Cole Kuzaro, who preceded her in death. She grew up in Aberdeen, WA with her two sisters Diane Patton, Joyce Bogdon, and brother Orville Wiley. She graduated from Weatherwax High School in 1957. She had a long and successful career as the Purchasing Agent for the Auburn School District and retired at the age of 55. She took great pride in her flower gardens and was fiercely creative and meticulous about her crafts, which included woodworking, painting, ceramics and numerous other innovative hobbies. Her current passion was being Nana for her grandson Drew Kuzaro. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Melina and Cory Kuzaro. She raised her daughter with the motto to be courageous and to know she could accomplish whatever she set her mind out to do. She will be greatly missed. A life remembrance for Judy will be held on March 29th at 11am at her daughter’s home. 1277764

Current Employment Opportunities at www.soundpublishing.com

STAFF WRITER Seattle Weekly is seeking a Staff Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S. The Staff Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the field rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you. This Staff Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sniff out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial staff meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one. Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Staff Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words. Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Staff Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t find anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to find a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to find the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question. The Staff Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial office environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm. And, most important, the Staff Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you. To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your five favorite stories to: hreast@soundpublishing.com. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line. Sound Publishing is an Equal Opportunity Employer (EOE) and strongly supports diversity in the workplace. Check out our website to find out more about us!www.soundpublishing.com
