East Link light rail agreement under scrutiny Council says more answers needed on mitigation BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
Council clears July construction start to finish circle, consolidate parking
Education [11 ] STEM-ming out
An announcement that terms for light rail construction had been reached between the city of Bellevue and Sound Transit turned out
premature a week later, when the city council heard concerns about the deal from residents who didn’t know whether their comments would make a difference. Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci, who was joined by King County
Executive Dow Constantine last week in announcing an agreement for a revised memorandum of understanding with Sound Transit, was adamant Monday’s public hearing was not a moot point. “We can change course entirely,” she said. “We have a vote coming up. We can vote ‘yes’ or we can vote ‘no.’”
Highlights of the MOU include striking $60 million from the city’s contribution to contingency costs for the downtown tunnel portion of the project and the transit agency making available up to 2 million square feet of developable property around the International Paper site, SEE LIGHT RAIL, 6

Civil War reenactors were at Wildwood Park on April 9 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender to U.S. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, and to advocate for saving the historic Philbrook House in Old Bellevue. The city council decided Monday not to assist with the effort.

The city council commended Nils Dickmann on his effort to save the historic Philbrook
House from demolition in Old Bellevue, but decided Monday the city has neither the time nor funding in place to help. The Bellevue native has been raising money to move the Victoria-era home since learning the structure was slated for demolition to make way for a 1,600-square-foot office building to complement Gordon James Fine Diamonds’ Main Street
storefront — a sizable pledge was also made by the diamond retailer to assist in moving the Philbrook House before May 1, when razing of the structure is planned. Bellevue staff identified a number of temporary and permanent locations where the Philbrook House could be SEE PHILBROOK, 5

DOWNSIZE TO THE RIGHT SIZE Retirement Living Seminar
Bill Pace has been selling fruit since 1968, having first bought an orchard in Yakima from his father when the bank came calling. He would take his peaches to Bellevue — a three-hour drive — after finishing his day job, later adding apples and nectarines. When the city needed someone to operate and market its blueberry farm on Bellevue Way, Pace took it over in 2000, only stopping last year when the rent became too high. About three years ago he opened Bill Pace Fresh Fruit and Produce in the Newport Hills Shopping Center. “At the end of the month, our goal is to be out of there,” Pace said last week, “but I keep thinking, where can you buy a box of peaches.” Pace said Newport Hills residents encouraged him to open up his produce store in the neighborhood shopping center, but after three years he’s done losing money and his perishable inventory. “They assured me that they would support me,” he said. “My wife mentioned a coffee shop and boy they went flying in the

City requests ideas for name change BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Bellevue park with a controversial title should be renamed before the end of May, and the city parks department has already received more than 40 proposals. Bovee Park had only recently been named when Charles Bovee, 84, was arrested in 1959 for allegedly molesting an 11-year-old girl; the first mayor of Bellevue was also accused by several other young girls.
Free live performances every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.
According to a 1994 article by the Seattle Times — based on the reporting of a Bellevue Christian highschooler — the charges were dropped when Bovee agreed to leave the city, settling and later dying in Ephrata. A request by alleged victims of Bovee asked the city council to change the name in the 90s, but it took another victim approaching the council earlier this year to get the process started. The city is now taking suggestions for a new name for the park through the end of the month. The city has already received 40 naming suggestions from about 25 residents, said
Robin Haaseth, Parks and Community Services Department public information officer. Haaseth said the city will take naming ideas through the end of April, with a public hearing before the parks commission 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 28 in city hall. From May 1-10, the city will host an online forum for residents to weigh in on a narrowed choice of names. Both can be accessed at parksweb@bellevuewa.gov. The parks commission will consider a naming recommendation to send to the council on May 12, with the council taking action as soon as May 18. Pam Toelle told the parks commission on Tuesday she wants the park to be renamed in honor of Nan Campbell, Bellevue’s first female mayor. Toelle told the commission about Campbell’s decades of service in Bellevue, particularly her focus in the Crossroads neighborhood. Campbell died in November 2013.

Found WWII-era grenade turned over to Army at JBLM BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
A Bellevue resident found what police believe was a live grenade from World War II while going through their deceased father’s attic on Monday. Bellevue Police Ofc. Seth Tyler said police first responded to the home on the 16500 block of Northeast First Place, but later called the Army to assist. “We had a bomb technician go out to the house, take a look at it and decide it was probably still a live grenade,” Tyler said, “so we contacted the Army at JBLM (Joint Base Lewis-McChord).” An explosives disposal team contained the grenade and returned it to JBLM for

FCC rule change to effect tower, antenna structures City joins coalition to appeal decision BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue City Council begrudgingly adopted a resolution on April 6 that complies with new Federal Communications Commission rules that allow wireless facilities to expand to heights and widths that
City Attorney Lori Riordan says could change the city's landscape; adding it would be worse if the council did nothing. The revised Spectrum Act, which took effect earlier this month, allows a wireless provider with an antenna tower to increase its size for additional equipment or modifications by up to 20 feet in height and 6 feet in width. A provider with wireless equipment
located on an existing structure like a light pole can increase heights up to 10 feet and 6 feet in width. An applicant may also add up to four cabinet facilities in a right of way the size of home refrigerators. Under the FCC rule, the city is not allowed to deny any eligible applications and must process permits within 60 days or the application is deemed granted, Riordan said.
"It does have the effect of taking away some of the local control that we have had over the deployment and permitting process," Riordan said, "and does really restrict our ability to require some mitigation of
expansion and colocation facilities." The city's Development Services Department requested last week that the council approve the resolution before the Spectrum Act took effect to
give the department time to develop a work program that may be able to mitigate some impacts from the new federal regulations. "It's very important that SEE FCC RULE, 5

Vote Yes for Prop No. 1 to update emergency radio system
W
hen an emergency happens, we rely on our first responders to get the call and respond quickly. In King County, every communication between first responders, dispatchers and hospitals is routed through a network of 26 radio transmitter sites connected through fiber and microwave connections. This network serves Bellevue, as it does all 39 cities in the county. We need this system to operate reliably, especially when there is a fire, police or medical emergency. But this radio network that Sammamish, Issaquah, Bellevue and other agency police, fire, Medic One and NORCOM dispatch responders use thousands of times every day is dangerously out of date and needs to be replaced. The network is nearly 20 years old, and each year becomes more prone to unexpected failures and outages. Our firefighters and police officers sometimes have to use different radio channels to communicate. They experience unpredictable radio dead zones. This is unacceptable. It puts public safety professionals, and everyone in Bellevue, at risk. On April 28, there will be a special election to determine whether we can fix the problems responders experience with the current radio system. An “approve” vote on King County Prop 1 will replace radios used by first responders to communicate during crises, upgrade equipment in King County’s 9-1-1 call centers, increase reliability and provide greater coverage for radio communications. I’m urging voters to join me in voting to approve King Co Prop 1. Together, we can make sure our responders have the tools they need to protect our families, our friends, and our community. Please vote “approve” to invest in all of our public safety.

Be an organ donor
The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) was founded in 1986 when residents of Bloomington, Indiana, rallied around a toddler who needed a life-saving liver transplant. In less than eight weeks, the community raised $100,000 to place the boy on the organ waiting list. But the child died before an organ became available. Those community volunteers, along with his parents, turned tragedy into triumph by using the funds they raised to help other transplant families. That was the beginning of COTA. Since that time, COTA has assisted thousands of patients by helping to raise funds for transplant-related expenses. COTA has built volunteer networks across the nation to ensure that no child or young adult needing an organ or tissue transplant is excluded from a transplant waiting list due to a lack of funds. Every day 21 people die waiting for an organ transplant here in the United States. April is National Do-
nate Life Month. One organ donor can save eight lives. Register today to become an organ donor by going to www.donatelife.net and registering to be an organ donor in your state. Find out how you can help a COTA family nearby. Visit www. cota.org.

East Link issues remain
The “City, Sound Transit Light Rail Agreement” announcement in the April 10th Bellevue Reporter fails to mention several “unresolved issues”. The most immediate “issue” is the Sound Transit “plan” for accommodating those who use the South Bellevue P&R lot when they close it next March. The P&R has nominally 519 spaces but commuters use parking around the periphery for an additional 200 spaces, all of which are full by 7:30 AM. During the peak commute an ST550 bus stops to pick up riders every 5 minutes. The P&R also provides access to ST555, ST556 and ST560. It, along with the East Gate P&R provide the major access to transit for I-90 corridor commuters:

the ST550 route having more riders than any other ST route. ST plans for accommodating affected commuters (see 2/09/15 video presentation to council) include suggestions they drive to South Kirkland P&R or use one of “several small satellite” P&R’s. The Kirkland option seems “unattractive” and it’s “difficult” to envision where they would locate all the “small satellite” P&R’s needed and how they would provide them bus service. The council’s apparent willingness to allow ST to proceed even though they have yet to provide “requested details” shows they either don’t recognize the problem or don’t care. The reality is it’s “unlikely” ST will ever come up with a viable alternative for the South Bellevue P&R. Commuters will either be forced to drive into Seattle (and pay for parking) or arrive at other P&R’s in the area before they are full, forcing others to make that commute. It’s the ultimate example of “the early bird gets the worm” with most eastside residents losing access to cross-lake transit for up to 7 years.

Masins Furniture selling to Tacoma competitor REPORTER STAFF
Masins Furniture Company announced Tuesday that it will sell its retail furniture and interior design business to Seldens Designer Home Furnishings. The Tacoma-based Seldens will acquire Masins’ assets, inventory and assume the lease of Masins’ current store location on Main Street in Bellevue, a press release said. “While Masins’ wonderful 88-year legacy in the furniture and design industry is coming to an end, we are excited for the growth and new opportunities that will surely be accomplished under Seldens ownership,” said Bob Masin, CEO of Masins Furniture Company. “The relationships we have cultivated with our high end vendors will be extended to the Seldens group to expand their current
merchandise offerings. Seldens is committed to future investment in product selection and necessary technology to continue and further their leadership in the marketplace.” According to a press release, David Masin, president of the company, will stay on to manage the 25,000 square-foot Bellevue location after the sale is finalized. “We have had a long relationship with the Seldens family,” explained Masin. “It’s a relationship based on great respect for each other. With this sale, we will be more complete with our product offerings, and we will be better equipped to satisfy our customers’ needs with Seldens’ infrastructure behind us,” he said. Both businesses have been around for a long time. Syd Selden opened a floor-covering store 75 years ago this month in Tacoma. The business started with five employees and “a

Afraid that the West Coast might be attacked by the Japanese, customers were anxious to purchase blackout blinds. At one point in 1942, Seldens had orders for nearly 30,000 window shades, the website said. Yet, the Masin’s business is even older. The business started as a dry-goods store in Pioneer Square in Seattle in 1927.

She said the city has plans to offer its facilities for locating tower and antenna sites for new applications, so it will be able to control modifications in a proprietary capacity rather than simply regulatory. The city has joined a coalition of local governments that have filed an appeal with the 4th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to seek judicial determination that the FCC took its interpretation of the rule too far and to compel the agency to return some local control.

“We just can’t move that fast,” said Mayor Claudia Balducci. “We need to budget, we need to plan, we need to do public outreach.” Dickmann said he will continue trying to save the Philbrook House, understanding he will now need to find a property not owned by the city in which to move the structure.

the 2800 block of 130th Avenue Southeast, adding there were safety concerns regarding a negative reputation surrounding The Standard. “The search warrants went pretty smooth,” Murray said. “Now we’re just collecting evidence and putting the rest together.”
He said the suspects were arrested on numerous charges, and police are still searching for two more suspects who were not at the apartment units Thursday. “Depending on how the interviews go, it could grow from that. These people were no strangers to Bellevue PD.”

maintenance yard there. Residents had little time to react to the draft MOU, which was published five days before the public hearing. The council is slated to vote on the MOU on Monday, April 20, followed by the Sound Transit board on Wednesday, April 23. Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she feels more mitigation is needed to ensure noise walls erected along Bellevue Way don’t obstruct views of the Mercer Slough Nature Park and to protect city interests surrounding the potential for a maintenance yard in
the city’s Bel-Red corridor. “This is the last big agreement that we’re going to have with Sound Transit,” Robertson said. “It’s better to take our time and do it right.” Councilmember John Chelminiak said he is also concerned tall noise walls planned to run along Bellevue Way were overengineered beyond what residents in south Bellevue asked for early in the project. It seems likely there will be some tweaking of the draft MOU, though it looks like the most substantial parts of the agreement will remain. Balducci said she still wants more answers as to what will happen with traffic when the South Bellevue Park and Ride closes for five years. Councilmember John Stokes said he didn’t believe testimony that an underground tunnel was a viable alternative for the south Bellevue rail alignment, given the boggy nature of the slough. “Yes, this is short notice, but we’ve been talking about this for a very long time,” he said of finalizing the MOU. “… You have to fish or cut bait.”

Chicken makes crossing road tough
Demand for Chick-fil-A has caused backups on Interstate 405 at the Northeast Eight Street east exit, as well as a lot of turning traffic from Eighth to get to the restaurant on 116th Avenue Northeast, said city transportation spokeswoman Tresa Berg. There has also been a lot of pedestrian traffic since Chick-fil-A opened. “We had heard that they were very popular,” she said. “We had no idea that they would be this popular.” In an effort to control traffic, the police

air, they were so happy.” The 50 or so daily customers Pace Produce averages isn’t enough to pay the electric bill, Pace said, let alone the $6,000 a month in rent. He added he would need twice as many customers to turn business around. Admittedly, the produce goes bad after a while, he said, because his 32 farm vendors don’t use preservatives like what is on fruits and vegetables in major grocery stores. As it is now, he has more produce than customers, so it sits and spoils. “Right now, we probably throw 40 percent of our vegetables away,” Pace said. “The craziest thing is everybody loves a farmers market.” The long-time produce vendor said he’s decided to focus on his family, particularly his wife, Marianne, whom he said deserves to start enjoying retirement. He will also sell his orchard in Yakima, he said, since he will no longer have an outlet for selling his peaches, apples and nectarines.

The Greater Seattle area is well known for having some of the worst commuter traffic in the country, but a study by online consumer company NerdWallet finds those destined for Bellevue suffer less than most. Much of the congestion on interstates 5 and 405 can be blamed on the 75.4 percent of commuters driving solo, according to NerdWallet, which surveyed 45 cities in the Greater Seattle area with more than 5,000 residents. Smaller cities tend to suffer greater commute times, gas prices and insurance
premiums, while NerdWallet reports larger cities like Seattle, Tacoma and Bellevue experience shorter commute times, partly due to the higher concentration of employers. Bellevue came in 45th in NerdWallet’s ranking, with an average commute time of 22.2 minutes, insurance premium of $977.23 and $3.74 per gallon for gas. Redmond came in just behind Bellevue, while Seattle was ranked 41st. According to NerdWallet, the top 10 worst commutes in the Greater Seattle area — in order — are Vashon, Graham, Orting, Maple Valley, Bonney Lake, Spanaway, Duvall, Lake Stevens, Enumclaw and Snoqualmie. Gas prices varied among the 45 cities analyzed by NerdWallet, but averaged $3.68 per gallon, compared to the national average of $3.43 a gallon.

Council opts to solve parking problem somewhere else BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
While parking solutions are needed for Old Bellevue, the city council on Monday agreed the problem won’t be resolved by delaying a July start for Downtown Park upgrades. The city plans to complete the circular design for Downtown Park this summer, adding to the canal and replacing parking stalls to be lost at the southeastern parking lot with expanded parking on the northwest side of the park. The first phase of the Inspiration Playground — paid for through fundraising efforts by the Bellevue Rotary Club — is expected to occur either later this year or early 2016. Local developer Carl Vander Hoek and the Old Bellevue Merchants Association had proposed including an underground parking structure at the park to both support a lack of options along Old Main Street and meet future demands at the park, arguing construction plans don’t include increasing the about 200 stalls available there now. Parks and Community Services Director Patrick Foran told the city council on Monday that the 1984 and revised ‘97 master plan for the park assessed parking needs, and a recent Gibson Study shows there are more than enough stalls at the park, even during peak usage. Foran added tiered parking could be added to an existing lot at
the park in the future. Councilmember Jennifer Robertson said she believes Inspiration Playground, which will be accessible by parents and children of all abilities, will create a regional draw to the park and the parks department should assume the need for more parking spaces. The city is just now accepting public comments regarding an environmental impact statement being developed for the 1997 master plan, which didn’t include a State Environmental Policy Act analysis. Residents like 86-year-old John Ellis, who chaired the original citizens downtown park committee that created the master plan for Downtown Park, financing its first phase of construction with private money, said it should not be used to solve parking problems for businesses around it. “It’s not what was intended when these acres were purchased,” Ellis said. City councilmembers said Monday they are not interested in slowing down park development, but do want a downtown parking solution — likely through a publicprivate partnership — to alleviate issues in Old Bellevue.

Families are also brought in for coding

Final seven schools being added for 2015-16 school year BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER
The Bellevue School District will integrate its STEM curriculum into the last seven elementary schools to adopt the district initiative next fall, incorporating engineering and design challenges expected to increase student interest in technology-based careers in the future. K-5 STEM Curriculum
Developer Greg Bianchi said the district started with three pilot schools last year — Ardmore, Medina and Newport Heights — adding seven this year. The seven remaining elementary schools for the K-5 STEM initiative are Bennett, Clyde Hill, Eastgate, Enatai, Lake Hills, Puesta del Sol and Stevenson. The goal is to get students interested in science, technology, engineering
and math early, since many students are expected to have a career trajectory by the time they reach middle school, when many girls have been found to opt out of STEM education. "We want to use the STEM initiative as an opportunity to revise our curriculum and provide professional development to our teachers to support students in developing 21st century skill," Bianchi said.

Mercer Island dominates Bellevue in rematch against rival Mercer Island avenges loss, crushes Bellevue 17-5 in Class 3A KingCo matchup between powerhouse baseball programs BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
A mere 48 hours after suffering a heartbreaking 3-2 defeat to the Bellevue Wolverines baseball team, the Mercer Island Islanders got revenge against their biggest rival. The Islanders pounded out 13 hits en route to a convincing 17-5 victory on a rainy, blustery April 10 afternoon at Bellevue High School in Bellevue. Mercer Island improved to 10-2 with the win and Bellevue dropped to 10-2. The Islanders scored a staggering nine runs in the top of the fifth inning. Bellevue head coach Chris McCormack said it just wasn’t his team’s day. “It’s baseball. Sometimes things like this happen. We’ll just have to move forward and take it one day at a time. Unfortunately you never want it (loss) to happen like this but other than today we’ve been playing really good,” McCormack said. “You got to have a short memory and just come back ready to play in the next one because we are right back at it.” The Wolverines finished the contest with eight hits in the loss. Mercer Island right fielder George Pallis set the tone for the game with the bases loaded in the top of the third inning. Pallis blasted a three-run double to right center field, extending Mercer Island’s lead to 6-1. The Islanders tacked on two more runs later in the inning, lengthening their lead to 8-1. “There was two strikes and I was trying to just slow everything down and hit it the other way. It was a fastball right over the middle. I went opposite field to right center with it. It was pretty sweet,” Pallis said. Mercer Island scored nine of its 17 runs in the top of the fifth. Mercer Island head coach Dominic Woody was glad to see his team come out of the games with more confidence than they had in their previous matchup with Bellevue just two days prior. “I felt like both teams were kind of waiting around like a prizefighter to see what was going to go on in the last game. We just had to come out here with a little bit of a better focus and we did. We’ll take the ‘W.’We’re happy with that,” Woody said. The Islanders and Wolverines are tied for first place in the Class 3A KingCo standings with an 8-2 record in KingCo action. “If you look at the schedule, you play everybody three times, and with these guys being in first place before today’s game, obviously it was a really big ball game for us because if they won today, they would have the tiebreaker against us and things would had been out of our own hands,” Woody said. “We would like to be able to get in a position where if it does come down to the last time we see them (with league title on the line), that it would be at our park and we like our chances.” Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@bellevuereporter.com

Slugger pulverizes pitches at the plate for the Bulldogs Bulldogs’ freshman star player Tess Dixon leads her team with 14 homeruns through 22 games thus far in the 2015 season Tess Dixon: The Guardian. It’s based off of teamwork. It is a very intense movie that really touches your heart.
BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Bulldogs freshman Tess Dixon is thriving in her first season of collegiate softball, just a mere 37 miles from where she grew up. Dixon, who graduated from Rogers High School in Puyallup in 2014, has compiled 47 RBI and 14 home-runs through 22 games thus far. Bellevue has an overall record of 13-9. Dixon said she doesn’t put much stock into the stat-book, even though she has been tearing the cover off the ball. “I have a lot of confidence in the batters box but I wasn’t expecting to be this explosive. Stats are just a number. I don’t really want to look at them,” Dixon said. “I just like to go into the box and just have fun.” Dixon said competing at the collegiate level is a different ballgame on and off the field. “I’m on my own now. Managing time is hard because of school, work and softball,” Dixon said. Bellevue head coach Leah Francis doesn’t tolerate her players mismanaging their time. “She pushes us to the point where she brings out the best out of us,” Dixon said of Francis. “She doesn’t let us slack and is always on our butt about grades, being at practice on time and never missing anything. It is teaching us a lot and not just for softball but for life. She is a really good coach and knows her stuff.” Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Dixon a few questions about her life away from the softball field. Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?
BR: What is your biggest pet peeve? TD: When people chew loud when they’re eating. It drives me crazy. I can’t handle it. BR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

BR: What is your dream vacation spot? TD: Hawaii. We go there as a family every couple of years. BR: What is your favorite show on television? TD: Law and Order. I’ve always wanted to be a cop. It’s really interesting. BR: How many text messages do you send per day? TD: I send maybe 100 per day. BR: What kind of music are you listening to the most in your iPod right now? TD: Country music.

the judge drew number three the first day of the trial, thus determining my fate before the first witness came to the stand. “I guess I shouldn’t buy a lottery ticket,” I said, as the bailiff hustled me out the door. She called me later and I peppered her with questions. I told her how fascinating the three days had been and that I was crushed at being left out. “Your experience is like most others.

nology is integrated into the classroom, complementing certain subjects rather than replacing or diminishing their instruction. Rather than just learning how to use a 3-D printer, Bianchi said students learn 3-D modeling as an art project. "We all really want to embed (STEM) in the context of other learning," he said. "We don't want a subject to suffer. We don't want to take something off the plate." "It doesn't have to be a separate thing, like, 'Oh my gosh, this is STEM now.' It's how you incorporate it in your daily assignments and work," said Manisha Chainani, whose youngest son has experienced the STEM curriculum in his fifthgrade class at Cherry Crest Elementary. "It's all about
asking questions. I think STEM sort of activated that within the students." Chainani, who volunteers at the school, said one day focused solely on what life was like during colonial times, with candle and butter making, games from that time period and dancing. STEM came into play in the end, with students being asked to submit an electronic-based report on what they learned. Chainani said she appreciates the creative ways STEM has been introduced, and is thankful Odell Middle School has a digital lab for her son to use next year. The Bellevue School Foundation will hold its annual Spring for Schools benefit luncheon 11 a.m. to noon Friday, April 24 at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue.
