New legislation that will change how medical and recreational marijuana operates in Washington has the Bellevue City Council holding back on how it might regulate cannabis research in the city, pending development of a statewide program. The Washington Legislature passed three bills during this year’s lengthy session, one of which creates a new license to allow for the researching of cannabis for medical purposes. Those licenses will be issued by the Washington Liquor and Cannabis Board (formerly the Washington Liquor Control Board) once a program is developed to regulate it, said Bellevue Legal Planner Catherine Drews. The city has regulated the growing, processing and sale of recreational marijuana through an interim ordinance since October 2013, and is nearing completion of permanent regulations. Drews said new state laws required the council to consider what to do about the potential for medical cannabis research in Bellevue. “I would suggest a moratorium, until there’s some

KidsQuest museum $4 million closer to fundraising goal Bellevue vacates adjacent property for Chickadee Trail BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The KidsQuest Children’s Museum received more than $4 million worth of good news over the past week, all of which goes toward construction of its new facility in downtown Bellevue. The passing of the state’s 2015-17 biennium budget provided KidsQuest with $2 million through the Building for the Arts capital grant program, tying with the Nordic Heritage Museum Foundation for largest donation.

Getting Outdoors Hutch seeking Eastside Obliteride marshals Fred Hutch is looking for more than 100 volunteers to serve as course marshals for this year’s Obliteride to raise funds for cancer research. One of the biggest fundraisers for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, more than $4.1 million was raised in the first two years of the Obliteride, where bicyclist pay to ride a 10, 25, 50, 100 or 150 mile route. To learn more about the courses, go to obliteride.org/ride.

Bellevue councilmembers matched that on Monday with their approval of another $2 million donation to KidsQuest, which is raising funds to convert the former Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art into its new children’s museum site downtown. The museum is now at $8.4 million of its $12.8 million fundraising goal, or 66 percent. KidsQuest will launch a community campaign in October. “We knew we were in the Senate budget and the state House budget,” said Shelley Saunders, KidsQuest’s director of

advancement, “but you never know until the capital budget passes and you’re in it.” The city council also voted Monday to vacate 492 square feet of right-of-way property — valued at $85,300 — adjacent to the children’s museum site on Northeast 12th Street for an outdoor exhibit space. “That’s one of those things that we’ve really missed in this space in Factoria,” Saunders said, “is that we don’t have an outdoor space.” The Chickadee Trail will be a planted path with access to the public and museum goers alike, Saunders said, offering learning opportunities surrounding gardening and water.

Course marshals provide cyclists with direction and cheer them on from a number of positions in Seattle and the Eastside. This year’s Obliteride will require 20 course marshals for Eastside positions, all lasting about four hours. To register as a volunteer, go to obliteride.org/crew/volunteers. The Obliteride takes place Aug. 8-9.

Expedia creates program for girls in tech Company hosts first Girls Who Code apprenticeship program BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Dozens of teenage girls from across the country filled Expedia’s downtown office this summer to learn about the technology industry from the inside, as part of the travel company’s first Girls Who Code program. “This is something that I really wish that I had had when I was in high school… Programs like this, that start earlier and capture girls before they enter into higher education, are so important,” said Kristen Weber, principal program manager for Expedia’s eCommerce Platform Technology, and member of the Expedia team that connected with Girls Who Code. For the first time, past immersion program participants are continuing to break into the tech industry in a brand new apprenticeship program, held at Expedia. The apprenticeship program is growing on Girls Who Code’s preexisting immersion programs, in which teenage girls receive daily classroom instruction, workshops, demonstrations and talks with industry leaders. Girls Who Code is a national nonprofit that was founded in 2012 to combat the low rates of women pursuing technologyrelated degrees and careers. The organization focused on encouraging high school-aged girls to pursue computer science and other technology careers, as that is where they saw an interest drop-off. Between 1984 and 2014, the number of women graduating with computer science degrees dropped 19 percent. Only 0.4

percent of today’s teenagers express interest in computer science degrees, according to data provided by the organization. The 20 immersion program participants at Expedia this summer at taking courses in robotics, graphics and animation, mobile app development, accessibility, user interface and other topics. Expedia is one of six Girls Who Code partners in the greater Seattle area, including Amazon, Microsoft and Google, the latter of which is where Expedia team members say the idea arose for them. A handful of female Expedia employees were invited to the graduation for Google’s 2014 class, among them Expedia.com Director of Technology Elena Camerini, whose daughter had taken part in Google’s Summer Immersion Program. Camerini couldn’t help but notice that after her daughter’s program ended, there weren’t many other opportunities in a similar vein. After conversations with Girls Who Code, and agreeing to host a Summer Immersion Program, Expedia built upon the preexisting opportunities and created the apprenticeship program. “I really think Elena and the other team members were wanting more for the girls who have participated in past programs, entering college, and getting to know what its like to work in engineering,” said Weber. In this new pilot program created by the team at Expedia, 10 girls who previously participated in the immersion program will be working in and among Expedia’s coders and tech teams. In the eight years she has worked at Expedia, Weber said this year’s Girls Who Code partnership is the first initiative of its kind that she has heard of, but it mimics the company’s commitment to diversity. “We’re really focused on fostering opportunities for women in tech, so we do focus a lot on closing the gender divide, but we’re also focusing on closing the opportunity

Around half of Expedia’s workforce is female, which is significantly greater than the industry as a whole. Only 26 percent of professional computing occupations in the U.S. workforce were

held by women in 2014, according to the National Center for Women and Information Technology. The center also found that women made up less than 20 percent of computer and information sciences bachelor’s degree recipients in 2013. Many companies with low numbers of female employees have undertaken efforts to improve workforce diversity. For example, women make up 30, 16 and 10 percent of the technology workforce at Google, Facebook and Twitter, respectively. Each of these companies have publicly stated missions to increase diversity, and are currently hosting Girls Who Code summer programs. Despite its relatively even gender playing field, Weber said Expedia is doing the same. “We do focus a lot on closing the gender divide, but we’re also focusing on closing the opportunity divide,” she said. This year’s program will run for seven weeks through Aug. 17. The applications for next year’s program will be available later on the Girls Who Code website.

$3,800 in fall 2015. This is the first time in recent memory in which college tuition in Washington state will be reduced. The operating budget also funds BC’s one-time $750,000 request to develop a new bachelor of science in computer science degree. The degree is anticipated to launch during the 2016-17 academic year and will address the growing and often unmet nationwide demand for more computer science graduates. The operating budget also includes funding to provide a 3 percent cost-ofliving increase to all employees, the first in six years.

Bellevue College adds computer science degree, reduces tuition The two-year Bellevue College operating budget approved by the Washington Legislature will support a new computer science degree and help reduce tuition on the Eastside campus. The operating budget provides new state funding to allow a 5 percent tuition operating fees reduction beginning this fall. Students who paid $4,000 in tuition per academic year in fall 2014 will pay

It takes time

he population of the Puget Sound region is expected to grow by one million people between now and 2040. Sound Transit is looking ahead to be ready to move as many of those people as possible via rail. On its website, the agency is asking for public input to determine what kinds of service are needed next - and where. Why so soon? There is a lot of construction on light rail facilities still underway. Yet, planning for a regional light rail system or even expanding an existing system takes a lot of time and money. And the first time around, it took a very long time. Decades. The seeds for commuter light rail in this region were first scattered in February 1968 through what was known as the ’Forward Thrust’ transit proposal. The first Forward Thrust bond measure, dedicated to financing a $1.15 billion Seattle rapid rail and bus transit system, failed to receive the required 60 percent super-majority vote. Instead, the all-bus Metro Transit was formed in 1972. Left aside, a regional light rail feasibility study was not completed until 1981. Studies continued through the 1980s on identifying routes and corridors and other factors. But it wasn’t until 1988 that King County voters approved an advisory measure calling for accelerated push to have rail service by the year 2000. But that was simply an advisory vote. Voters did not vote on actually funding construction until 1995, where the measure failed again with 46 percent yes and 53 percent no. Transit officials tried again the next year, when the measure was finally passed, 56 to 43. So what happened between all those years? Dozens and dozens of studies were conducted. Meanwhile, bus-oriented travel became the mainstay for public transportation by default. Sound Transit 3, which will include light rail service to downtown Redmond and fast buses on I-405, is another chance to make a difference for our region. Let’s all weigh in. Get involved. Pay attention. Soon.

Planning for commuter rail here began in the 1960s...

To the editor Decision on power line won’t hurt reliability Last Wednesday, July 3, five brave members of the East Bellevue Community Council voted to reject a high-voltage transmission line that PSE wants to build along 148th Avenue and NE 8th Street. The plan calls for the removal of nearly 300 trees along these beautiful urban boulevards. PSE was quick to criticize the decision. The company said, “By voting no, the EBCC is making a statement that electric reliability is not important to a community that has historically been vulnerable to lengthy power outages.” I sat through all five hours of the council meeting, and there was never any suggestion that reliability isn’t important. Council members didn’t think a modest theoretical increase in reliability was worth destroying so many trees, snarling traffic for months, and placing 80-foot poles through a park-like section of the city where there are no poles now. If the transmission line had been built 10 years ago, it wouldn’t have prevented more than 3 hours of power outages for any particular resident during that decade. By PSE’s reckoning, that makes these neighborhoods “historically vulnerable to lengthy power outages.” Council members and the public are not convinced. PSE is hinting that they will take this question to court. That

would be unfortunate. Taxpayers will pay for the city’s legal defense, and we will also pay for PSE’s legal fees through higher electricity rates. We would much rather work with PSE to find a win-win solution. Instead of paying for both sides of a legal battle, we would rather pay for increased reliability that respects the beauty of our city, preserves the environment, and establishes a legacy for our children and grandchildren that we can be proud of. We ask both sides to find a cooperative solution that does not injure our city.

Sound Transit light rail work too late

Recently, the issue of light rail has been in the news as Sound Transit obtained public input on which of four routes they should select when extending light rail to Federal Way. I have two brief comments to make regarding this issue: 1. Sound Transit should have built this light rail system about 25-30 years ago (like San Francisco did with their Bay Area Rapid Transit system). However, when it involves politics and obtaining funding to build it, Sound Transit (unfortunately) goes only three speeds: slow, slower and slowest. If I had to pick one of the three, I would pick the latter. 2. Last, but not least, when Sound

Transit finally gets around to building it (if they ever do), a lot of senior citizens (like myself) won’t be around to take advantage of light rail (unless we live to a ripe old age and the odds are against that). There is plenty of blame to go around but my vote goes to the state government (and its leaders) for not having the foresight to start this project in the 1980s so it could have been built/completed in the 1990s.

Bel-Red may lose its hyphen City council expects no confusion BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

The Bellevue City Council voted 3-2 Monday to scrap the hyphen in the Bel-Red subarea during a study session for an update to the city’s comprehensive plan. Councilmembers Lynne Robinson and John Stokes voted to remove the hyphen, while Councilmember John Chelminiak and Mayor Claudia Balducci wanted to keep it. Councilmember Conrad Lee broke the tie to make it BelRed. The council joked about how dropping the hyphen might draw comparisons to SeaTac, which Balducci said was a

Registration starts for Bellevue alarm owners STAFF REPORT

No one injured in Factoria collision

BELLEVUE REPORTER

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

A 65-year-old Bellevue woman accidentally accelerated from a handicap parking space into the Peak Dental clinic in Factoria on Tuesday. “I guess their foot got caught under the accelerator,” said Bellevue Police Officer Seth Tyler. “It just hit the glass (front) enough to break the glass. It didn’t go into the building.” Neither the driver nor occupants inside the dental clinic were harmed during the accident, which occurred around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday. No citations were issued. Peak Dental is located at 3626 Factoria Boulevard Southeast.

Bellevue is requiring all alarm owners to register with the city’s independent contractor in order to monitor false alarm activations, the frequency of which will now mean fines for residents and businesses. The city council on May 4 approved a four-year contract with AOT Public Safety Corporation to manage Bellevue’s program, which requires alarm owners to pay an annual $25

registration fee — $12 for seniors and the disabled — and a $100 fine for a false alarm. Panic, silent, robbery, burglary and duress false alarm calls will result in a $200 fine. Under a false alarm ordinance adopted by the council in December, an alarm awareness class may be taken to avoid the first fine. Alarm companies also are required to call a homeowner two times when an alarm is activated. The city reports an annual average of 3,300

false alarm calls-- 3,871 in 2014-- that amounted to $125,000 in police staff time, according to the city. Enacting penalties for false alarms is expected to reduce these occurrences immensely. Registration started Monday and ends Sept. 30. Annual registration

is required and can be completed online at www. crywolfservices.com/ bellevuewa/. People who register this year, however, will not be required to register again until January 2017. Those who fail to register by deadline face a $100 penalty after 30 days.

thought only brought up by the city of SeaTac when Bellevue began pondering the modification. “As much as I’d like to be like SeaTac in many, many ways,” Balducci joked. Stokes said BelRed, a subarea in the city that borders Redmond and is planned for immense growth in the coming years, makes it feel as if the two cities are divided when they should be united. “It’s a barrier between the two cities. You’ve got to bring them together,” Stokes said. “Right now, you have to say Bel-Red. Now, you say BelRed.” Since the council was missing Deputy Mayor Kevin Wallace and Councilmember Jennifer Robertson for the vote, Balducci cautioned the name could come back up for debate.

Merry Go Round store to close after 54 years in Bellevue BY ALLISON DEANGELIS

Kemper Development Company helistop clears city review

Code interpretation prompted by opponent Ina Tateuchi BY BRANDON MACZ

BELLEVUE REPORTER

After serving Eastside families and newborns for close to seven decades, the vintage 1920s carousel horses that have guarded over Merry Go Round since it opened in 1947 will be taken off the of the walls as the children’s furniture and goods store will shuts its doors. The longstanding business moved to Bellevue from its original Seattle location in 1961. Molly Pressey, whose father, Bob Brown, purchased the store from the original owner in 1972, said she has seen the city’s growth and changes her entire life. Born Molly Brown, she started working in the store at age 14. She and her husband, Bob Pressey, purchased the business from her father in 1999. Given the development of downtown Bellevue and increasing real estate prices, they moved from their location — which is now part of the Bravern — to their current storefront on 116th Avenue Northeast in 2005. To this day, Merry Go Round has served second and third generations of shoppers, and has a wonderful, loyal customer base, she said. The store focused on high quality, largely American-made merchandise. “I’m kinda bummed about it closing. It was the only store in the area that has high end strollers you can see in person before

A conditional use permit issued to Kemper Development Company in 2011 for a helicopter landing pad atop its Bank of America Building has passed a review by the city of Bellevue, requested last year by opponent Ina Tateuchi. Tateuchi, who wants KDC’s permit revoked, requested a formal interpretation of the city’s land use code in December, contending the helistop’s lack of use constitutes abandonment and the development company obtained its CUP through a misrepresentation of facts. Attorneys representing Tateuchi argued in a request for interpretation that Kemper Development misled a hearing examiner in its application and never planned on using the helistop for landing twin-engine helicopters, which are the only aircraft allowed under the CUP. Tateuchi argued the company always anticipated only using single-engine helicopters, which were prohibited when the CUP was issued. Kemper Development requested an amendment to its permit to allow for the landing of single-engine helicopters on its pad in 2013, but the city made the KDC put its application on hold when such an

aircraft crashed in Seattle during takeoff from the KOMO TV Heliport on March 18, 2014, killing the pilot and a passenger. Once the National Transportation Safety Board completes its investigative report for that crash, Kemper Development has 60 days to submit it to city legal planner Catherine Drews. That report will be analyzed to determine whether having an additional engine may have prevented the accident, as was argued by Tateuchi and others during a 2011 appeal of the city council’s decision to issue KDC a conditional use permit. In her decision, published June 25, Drews found that city land use code does not require the operator of a helistop to perform any takeoffs or landings to show it has not been abandoned, but rather must keep the facility maintained and file monthly reports. KDC did log one use at its helistop by a twin-engine helicopter on Jan. 21, two days before its legal counsel issued a response to Tateuchi’s application for an interpretation of city land use code.

Apartment residents lose water in Monday night main break

About 100 residents in the Woodland Commons apartment complex lost water after an 8-inch main break on Monday night. They were placed under a 48-hour boil advisory.

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Residents of the Woodland Commons had to boil their water for nearly 48 hours this week, after an 8-inch water main broke in the apartment complex Monday night. The main break occurred around 8:30 p.m., causing 100 residences in Woodland Commons on the 13700 block of Northeast 11th Street to be without water until early Tuesday. “There really isn’t any definitive reason why it broke,” said Bellevue Utilities spokesman Michael May. “Often these things just break.” May said several apartment units sustained minor water damage, but no major flooding of residences occurred. According to county records, the Woodland Commons was constructed in 1978. Utilities crews replaced the main with a new pipe Tuesday morning, and needed to flush it out and then test the water for any contaminants. May said a loss of pressure in a pipe can allow contaminants in, which is why residents are being asked to boil their water before drinking it.

Teen arts council chooses 20 talented teens for exhibit BY ALLISON DEANGELIS BELLEVUE REPORTER

Teens from across Bellevue not only submitted pieces to the Bellevue Arts Museum’s annual “20 Under 20” exhibit, they took on the challenge of judging the works and curating the exhibit. BAM’s Teen Arts Council caters to teenagers ages 14 to 18 who are interested in art, museums and the Bellevue community. Those accepted into the competitive program plan art workshops and parties for teens at the museum, in addition to working on the “20 Under 20” exhibit. Newport High School teacher Danielle Miles said she has encouraged many students to send in pieces for “20 Under 20” to challenge them and give them some exposure to the art world. “For a lot of them, it really helps their confidence. To be shown in an actual art gallery gives them a lot of confidence to go forward and pursue art in the future,” she said. Past students recognized in the “20 Under 20” exhibit have gone on to study art in college, including one student who is currently studying fashion design at Parsons School of Design in New York. Many of the young members of the BAM’s Teen Arts Council said it was challenging to judge and choose the 20 winning pieces this year. Applications began coming in and the council began working on the show in February. This year, they received close to 100 applications and pieces of artwork from which they had to choose.

One of the pieces featured in the show.

Numerous members said they were surprised by the diversity and skill of the art pieces submitted. “It opened my eyes to a bunch of artwork. There are so many creative ways that students have chosen to display their vision. It completely changed my perspective,” said teen council member Esha Gulati, 17, who has been on the “20 Under 20” jury twice in the past. Applicants had the option to attach written statements about their pieces and the motivations behind them, given fuel for thought to the jury members, who did not know the artists’ names or ages. “It was hard to judge, yes… Some of the stories were really touching. There was one in particular that I remember about anxiety and (the artist) trying to express that in their art,” said council member Jackie Sin, 19. Given the skill and complexity of the work being submitted, the Council has considered displaying all of the work and

Nan Campbell served as Bellevue’s first female mayor, elected in 1988, and made a significant impact in shaping Bellevue into the world-class city it is today. “She worked tirelessly to create Crossroads Park and people called her the unofficial ‘Mayor of Crossroads,’ since she was such an advocate for that community,” explained her friend Suzy Mygatt Wakefield. Campbell also pushed to create Bellevue Downtown Park and served on the city council, a number of regional policy committees, and on the governing boards of Youth Eastside Services and United Way. “When she passed away, I realized her legacy needed to live on,” explained Wakefield. The scholarship is awarded to four Sammamish High School seniors annually and simply highlighting 20 featured pieces, but has not made any definitive plans for next year. Overall, the experience has taught them a great deal about the art world, and themselves, they said. Though she would once describe herself as an introvert, Charlene Lam said she grew to love discussing the works of art with other members of the Teen Arts Council. And although her mother is an artist and has been involved in the Teen Arts Council for two years, Gulati said she never fully knew what went on behind the scenes to put together an art exhibit. “I never really thought about curating

— on the research side of it — until there is some kind of statewide regulation on it,” said Councilmember John Chelminiak. Councilmember Lynne Robinson said if the city were to allow medical cannabis research, only a Washington university should be allowed licensure. Drews said state law will allow universities to contract with private research agencies. Another law will ban collective gardens, starting July 1, 2016, and replace them with medical cooperatives. The change is meant to shutter medical dispensaries using loopholes in collective garden rules to open storefronts, and significantly reduces the number of patients who may join a cooperative. The law effectively integrates unregulated medical into the realm of highly regulated recreational marijuana.

Medical patients can either join a cooperative — limited to four patients — or purchase marijuana from a recreational store that has been endorsed by the LCB. Drews said it’s unknown whether the three retail marijuana stores operating in Bellevue will seek such an endorsement. The council decided to ban collective gardens ahead of the statewide ban next year, due to the fact none exist currently. The council is still considering what to do with cooperatives, since city policy prohibits the growing of marijuana inside a residence. Councilmembers sought more information from staff to ensure banning cooperatives would not prevent patients from having access to medical cannabis. Bellevue staff will return with amendments to the city’s regulations on July 20 for potential adoption. If adopted, the East Bellevue Community Council would likely consider approving the regulations on Aug. 4.

Donations for “Joy in July” will be collected throughout this month at all Bellevue fire stations and city hall. Requested donations include new, unwrapped toys for infants, youth and teens. This includes books, games, sports equipment, arts and crafts kits, cars/trucks, dolls and plush animals. Ideas for infants include age-appropriate plush animals, toys and gift cards for parents to purchase needed items. Ideas for teens include gift certificates to cloth-

this property,” said Planning Manager Glenn Kost. “This project will be a little more difficult because it was a landfill. There’s a couple of different systems in the ground that need significant renovation.” The majority of the acreage previously owned by Boeing at the Eastgate Area Properties at 2997 160th Ave. S.E. that has been allocated for the Bellevue Airfield Park was used as a landfill from 1951 to 1964. It was then used as an airfield until 1983. Below the surface is a landfill gas migration system to collect the gas being emitted from the decomposing garbage. Although the amount of gas being produced has tapered off over the last 50 years, the system is still necessary and needs significant renovations, according to Kost.

July 10, 2015 [9] ing, restaurants, malls and music stores. Food is also being collected to help feed children and families this summer. The greatest needs for nonperishable food include: canned meals, canned meat, cereal, dry beans, fruit (canned or fresh), pasta, peanut butter, rice, soup, tomato products and vegetables (canned or fresh). Monetary donations will also be gratefully accepted to help purchase toys or food items. For more information and to find a list of included sites, contact Vicki Drake, 425-452- 4874 or vdrake@ bellevuewa.gov

Crews would also need to update the storm water management and water monitoring systems, including adding a barrier to prevent water from passing through the garbage remnants and polluting the groundwater. The city did its due diligence before purchasing the property, said Kost, including an extensive study and master plan that was released in 2012. “This is a very, very common use of completed landfills. It just happens to be a use new to Bellevue,” he said. Parks all over the world have been built over landfills, including locations in New York, Virginia, Colorado and even Seattle. The Washington State Arboretum was built over the Miller Street Landfill, a dump that ceased operation in the early 20th century. Plans for the park have been slowly building since the city repurposed the smallest chunk of property, measuring about

two-and-a-half acres, from the Bellevue Utilities Department. The purchase of more than 14 acres of landfill from Boeing gave traction to the project in 2002. The $3.5 million price tag, which Kost said was likely well below market value, counterweighted the projected cost of making the land usable. “Yes, (the work) will be expensive, and that’s probably why we got such a good bargain on the property to begin with,” he said. “And it is likely less expensive to develop a park than housing or something else on this land.” Given the scope of the needed work to make the land useable and the current lack of funding, construction is many years off. The parks department will go back to the city council for funding in two to three years after Walker|Macy completes the design and permitting phase, according to Kost.

Lopez, who has a background in human resources and vocational training, said she often saw individuals with disabilities struggle in the workplace. “They were missing a lot of links, because they were previously just thrown into whatever job, but they didn’t have job skills. They didn’t know how to behave, how to interview, the culture of the workplace, how to advocate,” she said. Learning to self-advocate is a large focus of the program, said Porter. Most businesses don’t have any experience working with people with cognitive disabilities, and given the students’ cognitive disabilities, it is sometimes more effective to have them request mild adjustments like receiving tasks lists from their bosses, or being able to use recording devices or take photos to help them focus. “It’s great for people like me who have a disability,” said 2015 graduate Jim Eikanger, 23. “I know it’s not easy for anyone to get jobs. But the teachers were nice and supportive and gave me advice when I needed it.” Students focus on developing career-related qualities through the assessment of “soft skills,” such as professionalism, team work and self determination, mock interviews, internships, and courses like personal cultural awareness, communication and learning strategies. After years of struggling, many of the students from the Bellevue OLS program are optimistic about the future. Some are starting jobs, while others are talking about getting apartments together and moving away from home for the first time.

In this interactive workshop, elder law attorney Jan Zager will address the “dirty dozen” common life care and estate planning mistakes and how to detect and avoid them. Leave with a better understanding of the legal tools available to preserve your dignity, protect your family, and provide your legacy with an action plan.

About the Presenter Zager is an elder law attorney on Mercer Island, WA. She has dedicated her practice to making a difference in people’s lives by providing them with information, tools, and advocacy to protect their dignity, relationships and assets over their lifetime.

Eastside real estate market review BY MARY L. GRADY BELLEVUEREPORTER.COM

The latest numbers from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service, (NWMLS) a business that tracks home sales and market data in Western Washington, shows that homes are selling faster than new listing are added. Local realtors and members of NWMLS)note that the the number of pending home sales for the month of June in Western Washington were at their highest level since August of 2005. NWMLS members believe that three factors are contributing to the trend. First-time homebuyers

along with new workers are coming to the area looking for housing.That demand along with rising rents, are pushing home sales. Also encouraging homebuyers is that mortgage rates remain under 4 percent. Chase Bank in Seattle presently offers 30-year mortgages at 3.875 percent and for a 15year note, 3.125 percent. The number of new listings for the month may not be able to keep up with demand. The number of new homes and condos on the market last month is the same amount added a year ago. In the NWMLS area 530; the area in Bellevue bounded by SR-520 on the

north, I-90 on the south and I-405 to the east and Lake Sammamish to the West, the number of listings for single family homes were down 9 percent last month from June a year ago despite a 25 percent increase in new listings. As of June 15, there were 78 single family homes for sale — less than a month’s supply of homes available. Real estate professionals say that three months of inventory is the mark of healthy home market. The number of home sales pending (in process but not yet final) was up 26 percent over a year ago. The median price of homes that sold last month was $645,000 up from $606,500 a year ago.

Team camaraderie is Vikings’ strength BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

Not even a 1-9 record during the 2014 season could alter the psyche of Bellevue Christian head football coach Todd Green. Green, who played football and graduated from Pacific Lutheran University in 1993, exudes the late Frosty Westering mantra of competing against your best self on the gridiron. The Vikings are in the process of building the foundation for the 2015 season during spring football practices in June. “I bleed that stuff. That is really what we want to be about as a football team,” Green said of Westering’s coaching philosophy. “We want to use football as a vehicle to invest in these guys but also teach them that they can be excellent and great at something that glorifies God and glorifies your teammates. Frosty was a huge influence in my life.” The third-year head coach is excited about the talent returning to the fold this fall. He said there are several cornerstones of the team, including Taylor Paulson (receiver/cornerback), Dylan Parsons (running back/defensive back), Garrett Olerud (offensive lineman/defensive lineman), Alex Irizzary (center/linebacker) and Da-

vid Postma (quarterback/linebacker). Postma enjoys being the senior signal caller of his squad. This past May, Postma was the starting goalie for the Vikings boys soccer team that captured second place at the Class 1A state tournament. “It is quite a different experience in both sports but one thing remains the same, and that is I have to do my job and do the best I can. That is so important to the team,” Postma said. The senior team leader said the Vikings didn’t hang their heads despite losing nine of its 10 games last season. “We have a lot of things to build on. For us we found a lot of success in things other than wins,” Postma said. “The strength of the team is our teamwork and how we play the game together. Green said his team is coachable and has totally bought in to the principles of the program. “As a coaching staff, we’re definitely zeroing in on our players and have put in a lot of time evaluating what are the schemes, positions and systems that are the best for our kids,” he said. “I feel like we’re poised to get a whole lot more out of the kids we have. We’re excited about this season.” Shaun Scott: 425-453-5045; sscott@bellevuereporter.com

Being on the water is a relaxing experience BY SHAUN SCOTT BELLEVUE REPORTER

With temperatures consistently hovering in the upper 80s and early 90s the past few weeks, I’ve made a conscious decision to spend as much time near the water as possible. The summer has undoubtedly arrived-- both figuratively (ridiculously hot temperatures) and literally (summer began on June 21). Over the Fourth of July weekend I spent the majority of my time in Mason County and Kitsap County enjoying the friendly confines of the salt waters of the Puget Sound and Hood Canal. The day before the Fourth of July I was fortunate enough to go crabbing with one of my best friends, Robert Masaniai, launching from the shores of the Manchester dock in Port Orchard. As we navigated the waters near Blake Island, we made our way to the crab pots Masaniai had set out earlier in the morning before my arrival. Much to our chagrin, there wasn’t a single crab large enough in the cage and we went home emp-

ty handed. Despite not catching a single tasty crab for later consumption, spending a few hours on the boat was the epitome of a consolation prize. While perusing the waters, we came across a dozen porpoises emerging from the water to the surface for air. One porpoise even came within 10 yards of the boat. It was simply legit. The summer is still young and there are a plentiful amount of outdoor recreational activities available to those residing and visiting the Pacific Northwest region. I’m going to enjoy this summer as much as possible.

Refuse To Abuse hese days, professional T sports teams are expected to publicly address domestic

and sexual violence. When they get it wrong, the public lets them hear about it. But that wasn’t always the case. In 1995, the Seattle Mariners were in a race for the Western Division Pennant and fans adopted the phrase “Refuse to Lose” to cheer them on. It was the first time the team advanced to the American League Championship Series and it was a time when no one in professional sports was talking about domestic violence. The Washington State Coalition Against Domestic Violence (WSCADV) asked the Mariners if they would collaborate on a domestic violence prevention campaign. The Mariners response? “Yes. It’s the right thing to do.” Since that day, the two organizations have partnered on this effort. Refuse To Abuse® includes print, radio, and television public service announcements featuring prominent Mariners players speaking out against domestic violence and promoting healthy, respectful relationships. Having credible, professional male athletes speak out on this issue helps send a powerful message to young people. A few years ago, Refuse To Abuse® expanded to include a 5K fun run/walk to raise money for WSCADV’s violence prevention work and create an opportunity for Mariners fans to join them and help end domestic violence. The only run to take place entirely at Safeco Field—the course goes through every level of the ballpark, from the top to the players tunnel to a final lap around the field—the event encourages participants to start conversations about healthy relationships with young people and gives them concrete tools to do so. For the past nineteen years, the Seattle Mariners have done more than just talk about helping raise awareness about this issue, they have stood firm in their leadership role. If you need another reason to feel good about cheering for the Mariners, Refuse To Abuse® is a good one. Register today for the Goodwill Refuse To Abuse® 5K at Safeco Field at refusetoabuse5k.org. To find the domestic violence program in your community, visit wscadv.org or call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800799-7233 or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY). Kelly Starr

Gary L. Green

Gary L. Green, loving husband and devoted father, passed away peacefully at home on May 20, 2015, surrounded by his family and friends. He will be remembered by those who knew him for his compassion, work ethic, strength, and humor. Gary was born December 31, 1956 in Murray, Utah to Clayton and Sharon Green. He joined the Utah Carpenters’ and Cement Masons 184 in 1980, beginning what would become a 33-year career in union carpentry. Gary married his high school sweetheart, Tracy in 1978. Together they moved to Washington State in 1988, settling in Bellevue in 1989. His family was always his top priority, and his greatest pride was raising his children, Cale, Andrew, and Mary Elizabeth. He greatly enjoyed coaching, officiating, and assisting in youth athletics, including PONY baseball, USA Track and Field, Bellevue Boys and Girls Club, and Cascade Striders Youth Running Club. Gary was a tireless advocate for labor rights and social justice, always willing to speak up for those not spoken for. He represented L.A.D.S. Local 1144 as a national delegate at the United Brotherhood of Carpenters’ 40th General Convention, also serving as a trustee and as a member of negotiation and scholarship committees for his union. He would finish his career as an instructor for L.A.D.S., training and mentoring apprentice carpenters, retiring in August 2013. Gary is survived by his wife, Tracy; children Cale, Andrew, and Mary Elizabeth. A Celebration of his Life will be held on August 8, 2015, please contact members of the Green family for details. 1368000

The Pacific Science Center is rolling out its Science on Wheels program this summer, hitting several stops in Bellevue this month to promote active brains while school is out. Science on Wheels started during the gas crisis in the '70s, when many children couldn't get to the Pacific Science Center for field trips. Since then, the program has made the rounds each year to provide children with educational fun via mobile exhibits. Visits include an assembly and as many as 30 interactive exhibits set up in a library or gym. Science of Wheels covers
