� e Bellevue First Congregational Church has pur-chased a new downtown site following sale of its prime location on 108th Avenue Northeast, but there’s more work to be done before a moving date is set.

� e church closed on its purchase of the Atrium Build-ing at 111061 N.E. Second St., Wednesday, Feb. 12, a� er a two-year search process, said the Rev. Kevin Brown.

He said a Shaping Our Future team of church members assisted in the search, providing options to the congrega-tion for sites that supported criteria set for a new location. � at included staying downtown, being a� ordable and saving enough money for redevelopment.

“We really wanted to li� up our message of tolerance and acceptance,” said Brown. “You don’t always see that in traditional American churches.”

� e Atrium Building sold for $15 million, which is half what Chinese investment � rm Plus Investment USA paid for the church’s current site at 752 108th Ave. N.E.

“We are guaranteed here for at least a year,” said Brown of the church’s current location. “� at was part of our agreement.”

� e church has hired an architect to help it realize the new site’s potential, and is also reviewing existing tenant leases in the Atrium Building.

While the 25,250-square-foot site is smaller than the church’s current home, Brown said Bellevue First Congre-gational is committed to continuing its seven core minis-tries. � e church has been on 108th since 1901.

“We’ll expand our services in a number of ways, but not necessarily through square footage,” he said.

Light rail designs at 60 percent

City of Bellevue and Sound Transit sta� will be on hand Feb. 25 for an-other East Link public involvement session to discuss the East Main Sta-tion area and what impact light rail will have there as the transit agency presents its 60 percent design.

Sound Transit has reached 60 per-cent design completion for all East Link light rail areas within Bellevue and is now sharing its progress with

the public. About 70 residents in the Enatai

neighborhood got another peek at what the light rail station and park-ing garage slated for construction at the South Bellevue Park and Ride will look like Feb. 6.

Wendy Jones, president of the Ena-tai Neighborhood Association, said for a long time the neighborhood was divided in its support for light rail coming in. Now the focus is on making the station and garage � t in with the residential landscape to the

west and Mercer Slough Nature Park to the east.

But Jones is not happy with the artist renderings provided at the sta-tion area meeting showing what the South Bellevue Station and parking garage are proposed to look like, par-ticularly the industrial look she said doesn’t mesh with the neighborhood.

“� e people that I talked to that night were in agreement with this,” said Jones, who conveyed her con-

Washington Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson says even if the state Legislature ap-proves a transportation package this session, there won’t be enough money to go around. A “Plan B” needs to be cra� ed to deal with the worst cases of maintenance and preservation needs to ensure public safety.

Peterson met with Reporter sta� Wednesday to discuss her reform package presented to the Legislature earlier this year, as well as the status

and issues revolving around Puget Sound trans-portation projects and funding for aging systems statewide.

ReformsAcknowledging a design error that has caused

cost overruns of more than $170 million for the SR 520 bridge replacement project, Peterson said one reform she’s pushing the Legislature to fund this year would address WSDOT’s contracting methodology for construction projects.

“We have a lot of control, but that means if there is a design error, such as 520 pontoons,

then that error comes back to us,” said Peterson. Peterson also wants funding to create a quality

assurance manager position. While all proj-ects are sta� ed for quality assurance, she said a manager would oversee all of them and report directly to her. She is also exploring options for including contractors in the design process.

� e transportation secretary defended her de-cision not to sanction Seattle Tunnel Partners — charged with drilling the downtown Seattle tun-nel project — based on the results of a Federal

Making memories a snap

Ben Lee has made his living in the high-tech world working for companies like IBM and Microso� , but now he’s focused on being his own boss. � e Bellevue man is now the sole franchisee in King County for TapSnap, o� ering clients an interactive photo booth for their social events.

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, TapSnap allows users to pose for photos us-ing an interactive kiosk where they can edit pictures and upload them directly to social media accounts or print-outs.

“I reached a point where I wanted to do

something di� erent with my family,” said Lee. “Hopefully, through this we can build a thriving business.”

Lee has brought on his wife, June, and 22-year-old daughter, Samantha, to help with the business. June said she likes shop-ping around for physical props, such as funny hats and glasses, but TapSnap allows users to also digitally add e� ects. For an ad-ditional fee, Lee said he has a green screen that allows users to put themselves in interesting backdrops, such as Mount Ever-est or in front of the New York City skyline.

� ere’s one more week to donate clothes to a Bellevue cleaning company’s winter clothing collection campaign.

Simply Clean, based in Eastgate, has taken collections since late December to bene� t King County’s homeless popula-tion while raising awareness of the ongoing homeless problem.

“Bellevue is � lled with charitable people who pride themselves on improving their community,” Simply Clean representative Jim Allen said. “Unfortunately, unless an issue is right in front of your eyes, you don’t give it much attention.”

� e company is asking for new or only lightly used winter-speci� c clothing such as jackets, sweatshirts, raincoats, boots, gloves and beanies delivered prewashed in garbage bags. Clothes donated to Simply Clean will be sorted before being given to area charities and nonpro� t organizations.

To donate, contact [email protected]. � e collection period will end Feb. 28.

Clothing sought for homeless

BY BRANDON MACZ BELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue Police have con� rmed a 20-year-old woman alleged to have helped her boyfriend escape custody at the Bellevue District Courthouse on Jan. 31 was arrested on a warrant Tuesday while at another King County court-house.

Bellevue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden said authorities are still trying to determine what brought Tanjanique Hillis to the courthouse, adding escaped convict Wen-dell Downs remains at large.

Hillis is alleged to have helped Downs, 20, escape the Bellevue courthouse, where he had been transported for a hearing on a misdemeanor case. Downs was arrested Nov. 12 for � rst-degree robbery, second-degree organized retail the� and two other

felony the� charges.Court documents state Downs called Hillis

prior to his escape from custody and directed her to go inside the courthouse to con� rm his transport. Witnesses identi� ed Hillis as the woman who requested information about Downs’ court hearing before his escape.

Hillis is believed to have been waiting for Downs inside her vehicle in the courthouse parking lot and picked him up at the drive-way a� er he ran from a Bellevue police support o� cer.

“Every indication was that this was a planned event and he clearly had help,” said Harnden.

Harnden added police are not optimistic Hillis will assist law enforcement in locat-ing Downs.

Thumbs up for Humane Society, Seahawks fans For the Seattle Humane Society for saving 6,937

animals and making 6,403 pet adoptions in 2013. Both set records for the Bellevue-based organiza-

crowds, an online e� ort, called crowdfunding, began to raise money to make repairs. Many people contributed $12 (for the 12th man) and Western Washington Honda Dealers contributed the � nal $10,000 to make the repairs, estimated at $25,000.

QUOTE

OF NOTE

Visitors to Paris might fall in love with the Mona Lisa, the houseboats on the Seine, the Ei� el Tow-er, Notre Dame, and the Champs-Elysées. I fell

in love with the "macaron," which is not to be confused with the mound of baked coconut and egg white that in this country we call a macaroon.

When we returned home in October I started a search for a supplier. My re-search took me to two French bakeries, one in Bellevue and one in West Seattle, which produce the real thing. But these wonderful cookie sandwiches — if an Oreo comes to mind, dismiss the thought immediately — of almond

� our, egg whites and powdered sugar with a buttercream � lling, don’t come cheap here. (Macarons could have been pricey in Paris, too, but the aromas from bakeries made mentally converting euros to dollars impossible.)

Recently, I thought I’d found the solution to having an unending supply of these desserts at a reasonable price. I signed up to take a class. We worked in teams so every-one had a chance to take part. I volunteered to start by beating the egg whites, a task I knew well from years of making lemon meringue pies.

“I think you’d better stop now,” said the instructor a few minutes later. “Let me look. Yes. � ose are too sti� ,

more like a meringue.” No worries. I would make up for this when my turn came to squeeze the mixture onto the baking tray template.

Wait. Why was the mixture oozing outside the top of the pastry bag instead of on the circles marked below? You say I was squeezing from the wrong place? No prob-lem. I’d have other chances to prove my prowess in the kitchen.

While the macarons hardened before baking, we moved on to making buttercream and chocolate ganache � llings. Our last step was to choose our preferred � avors of cookie and � llings and stu� the sandwiches. We could even add pizazz by drizzling chocolate over our cre-ations.

I learned that the drizzle e� ect you see on restaurant desserts comes from sticking a fork in a liquid topping and passing the fork artfully back and forth across the plate. Even this takes practice.

I brought home 13 macarons. � ey tasted wonder-ful. But average cost? $5 apiece. � e local bakery, which sells them for $1.50, looks like a great bargain and would never lead to further embarrassment.

Students almost lose their MarblesSecond-graders at St. Louise School in Bellevue are

assisting the Seattle Humane Society by adopting a bunny as part of a year-long service project by the class. � e idea is that “Marbles,” the bunny, will help teach the students about the many duties inherent in caring for animals properly and to demonstrate the joys animals can bring.

However, Marbles’ stay with the class hasn’t been all car-rots and lettuce. He accompanies students to their homes over the weekend, and on a recent outing, he injured himself chewing on an electrical cord.

To the rescue came parent Liz Anne Bowman, who

works with Access Animal Critical Care and Emergency Services in Renton. With this injury and other small mis-haps, Bowman not only donated time, but also more than $1,500 in care for Marbles.

To give thanks, the students surprised her when she came to the class to check up on Marbles. Bowman received a certi� cate of appreciation signed by all the stu-dents, a photo book and lots of smiles and hugs.

St. Louise School is a Catholic school located in the Crossroads area of Bellevue.

sessions and outings weekly. On Feb. 15, four of them visited the Micro-so� campus to sit in on a seminar regarding science and engineering projects, presented by engineer Suresh Chunduru and his children.

“It was basically about the science fair and the International Science Fair,” Nagvekar said.

“But we’re here to keep in touch with other aspects of the sciences, even if

science fair isn’t the same as Science Bowl,” Kollipara said.

In�nity, and other Sci-ence Bowl competitors, are tasked with memorizing the trivia and minutiae of the wide world of the sci-ences and training them-selves for rapid recall. �e format of Science Bowl is much like a buzzer-based quiz show: teams compete to answer questions in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, energy, and earth and space sciences faster than their competi-tors.

�e four In�nity team-mates at Microso� con-�rmed unanimously that they had begun competing under the urging of their parents, but each said they have developed a passion for the subject matter.

“Science is a really big part of the future,” Chali-parambal said.

“And as you learn more about it…,” Kollipara began. “It’s like this: Once you start learning about the cell, you might memo-rize the di�erent parts of the cell �rst, but then you learn how they interact with each other. �ere’s not just a what, there’s a why.”

Creative Children for Charity, a Sammamish-based student arts program, is seeking artists to help create a collage displaying qualities of leadership.

� e project, which the arts and so-cial improvement group is calling “40 Story’s” [sic], is asking young artists to complete 40 oil paintings, each show-casing a di� erent leadership quality. � e paintings will come together to create a collage when � nished. An un-veiling ceremony is planned for April.

“We’re … hoping to inspire more leadership in youth,” marketing lead and Bellevue student Catalina Raggi said. “Also, a lot of people think today’s youth doesn’t have leadership ability and we want to show that we do.”

� e group, also known as 3C, distributed canvases and paints to interested artists at Daniel Smith Art Supplies of Bellevue on Feb. 16. How-ever, the group still needs more artists, Raggi said.

� e goal of 3C is to “inspire one million kids and teens to donate their time and talent for a social cause,”

by connecting artistic talent to area nonpro� ts.

Young artists interested in contrib-uting to “40 Story’s” can arrange a value assignment and supply pickup by emailing catrag101@hotmail.

com. More information on Creative Children for Charity can be found at meylah.com/3c.

Property tax notices arriveFor 2014, property taxes in King County

Countywide, voters approved a six-year temporary lid li� for the renewal of the Parks levy at a rate of $0.18 cents per $1,000 of all taxable assessed value that would generate $63 million in revenue and a six-year renewal of the Emergency Medical Services levy at a rate of $0.335 cents or less per $1,000 of all taxable assessed value.

Using his Bellevue home as a startup of-fi ce, Lee held an open house on Feb. 15 and is already adding clients. � is weekend he’ll bring his TapSnap kiosk to a 65th birthday party and is scheduled for another party in March. He said TapSnap is great for wed-dings, corporate events, nonprofi ts and bar mitzvahs. Lee invested in three kiosks, but hopes to expand as word spreads.

“I think what I fi nd is there’s a degree of freedom, as well as agility that you have with your own business,” Lee said.

Clients don’t need to worry about master-ing the kiosks, he said, because he’s there to help along the way. Being able to send out photos from an event using Twitter and Facebook directly through the kiosk allows clients to generate buzz about their events and the people and businesses behind them.

BY JOSH SUMANBELLEVUE REPORTER

� e past three seasons, Bellevue has been unable to put together a prolonged postseason run.

Tuesday night, as music blared and players and coaches exulted from inside the locker room at Bellevue College, it was obvious this year was di� erent.

Coach Chris O’Connor’s Wolverines used an 11-4 run in the second quarter and 10 point advantage in the period to take control against Seattle Prep, and exploded with a barrage of three-pointers to win 71-47 in the quarter� nals of the Sea-King district boys basketball tournament.

“I think we played the right way for most of the game,” O’Connor said, crediting his team’s e� ort on the glass. “Defensively, we were engaged, we knew where their shoot-ers were.”

Sophomore guard Sharif Khan and ju-nior Kyle Foreman each scored a team high 15 points to pace a Bellevue o� ense that found its rhythm midway through a � rst

quarter that featured four lead changes and saw the Panthers leading 17-15.

But Prep was unable to withstand the defensive pressure from the KingCo regular season and tournament champions in the second quarter, and saw the lead change for good on three straight three-pointers that keyed the decisive Wolverine surge in a 14-game winning streak that dates to December.

“It’s something we always go to, it is a constant,” O’Connor said of his team’s defense. “It is something that is just in your heart and something we count on all the time.”

Bellevue forced 21 turnovers on the game, and made nine shots from beyond the three point arc to advance to � ursday’s district semi-� nal game and more impor-tantly, take one of 16 spots in the 3A State Regional round.

A� er reaching the 3A state title game during the 2010-2011 season, the Wolver-ines have been unable to get back to the � nal 16, something Khan said was not lost on this year’s group.

“It’s just good to stamp our ticket,” he said. “We’re just really pumped up right now.”

Junior Jordan Kitchen scored a game high 16 points to keep Prep within reach, getting as close as 11 points with just more than two minutes le� in the third quarter. But Bellevue proved too much inside and on the glass, and held on for the win and a date with Eastside Catholic � ursday at Bellevue College with a district title game spot on the line.

O’Connor said his team, which includes a host of sophomore and junior contribu-tors who have yet to taste postseason suc-cess, seems to be on the right track headed in to that matchup.

“We are � nally putting it all together,” he said.

� e Crusaders, which defeated Franklin 65-46 in another semi-� nal, will be waiting in the second game at Courter Family Pa-vilion � ursday for the right to play Rainier Beach or O’Dea.

Bellevue girls dominate Lakeside

Bellevue is at it again.� e Wolverines’ girls basketball team,

looking to make a second straight run deep into the postseason, ensured itself a spot in the 3A Regional round with a 62-53 over Lakeside in Sea-King district tournament Tuesday at Bellevue College.

“I think the girls are pumped up about it,” head coach Leah Krautter said. “It’s a little bit di� erent, because we’ve been there before.”

Bellevue stretched its lead to 23 points in the third quarter a� er a bucket from junior Dejah Rogers, and never let the Lions back within nine points, using a frustrating mix of defenses that kept Lakeside at bay.

“Once one person picks it up, we all know how to pick it up,” junior Mandy Steward said.

� e Wolverines led by six a� er the � rst quarter, before stretching the advantage in the second with 21 points, including 11 from Rogers and sophomore Shelby Cansler.

“I was really pleased,” Krautter said. “� e e� ort was there. We talked about how we

points, while Cansler put in 15 and Steward added 14 of her own.Krautter said the bal-anced scoring e�ort is evidence of a team reaching its potential at the right time.

“�e girls are coming together at the right time,” Krautter said. “We’ve been fo-cusing on team play all year, and it is �nally starting to click.

Cristina Cheledinas led the way for Lake-side with 14, while Lauren Estell scored 13 for the Lions in the loss.

Bellevue used its district success to reach the state semi-�nals last year before losing to eventual champion Cleveland, and will have another chance to get to the Tacoma Dome when the Regional round begins next week. But �rst is the district semi-�nals �ursday back at Bellevue College, where the Wolverines will face Blanchet for a spot in the Sea-King title game.

Krautter said while her team was able to hold its quarter�nal foe at arm’s length, she hopes to see a cleaner e�ort �ursday.

“We had the lead, and we didn’t quite keep control like I’d hoped,” she said.

�e win sends Bellevue back to the round of 16 for the second straight year and also to the district tournament semi-�nals �ursday at Bellevue College.

Newport girls set for title game tonight at Juanita

~ Romans 12:12

Highway Administration investigation that determined the contractor committed a civil rights violation by not subcontracting a portion of work under the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program.

� e � rst step would have been withholding payment, she said, which would only further hurt subcontractors attached to the project.

A� er 10 years of research data collection, Peterson also said WSDOT can go leaner in its project design goals. Projects are cur-rently over-designed by 20 percent to en-sure adequate safety measures. Now there is a better understanding of simpler and cheaper ways to enhance transportation goals, she said, referring to an increased focus on roundabouts rather than tra� c signals at intersections.

FundingIf the Legislature can’t reach an agree-

ment on a transportation package, WSDOT expects a 52-percent budget decrease over the next four years. Even if a transporta-tion package passes, most of the revenue is already bonded for capital projects and won’t cover the cost for maintaining and preserving Washington’s deteriorating infrastructure.

A proposed 10-cent increase per gallon to the gas tax also wouldn’t fully fund all capi-tal improvements for transportation, said Peterson, as only 8 cents per gallon captured from the tax currently goes back for state operations, which also relies heavily on

federal funding. A Senate proposal could fund comple-

tion of the SR 520 bridge, said Peterson, however, tolling the I-90 bridge is still be-ing looked at as the most likely solution to a more than $1 billion funding gap. Without a revenue package, the SR 520 design o� ce is slated to close in June, she said.

Maintaining the systemPeterson said her department will need

to prioritize what projects get addressed through its maintenance and preservation budget, including � nding funding to repair or replace 180 culverts on recreational land by 2017 as ordered under the “culvert case.”

� e federal ruling was made more than a decade a� er Washington tribes sought an injunction, claiming the poorly constructed culverts were blocking migrating salmon.

“It’s the McCleary (case) of transporta-tion,” said Peterson, referencing a Washing-ton education funding mandate.

Big BerthaWashington taxpayers are o� the hook for

costs associated with the breakdown of Ber-tha, the tunnel digging machine meant to be boring a road replacement for the Alas-kan Way Viaduct, said Peterson. Hitachi Zosen, Bertha’s Japanese builder, still owns the machine, said Peterson, meaning costs for repairs will fall on the manufacturer. A plan for repairs is expected to be presented by the end of the month.

Eastside Glassand Paint

� e Eastside Paint and Glass building, at 10246 Main Street, was originally built in 1920. � e building has housed many business-es over the years, includ-ing a meat market, a shoe repair shop and a tavern.

In 1946 it became the home of Eastside Glass Co., owned by the Vander Hoek family. Paul Vander Hoek was instrumental in starting both the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce and the Bellevue Downtown Association. He was o� en called the “Mayor of Main

Street.” � e Eastside Glass retail store remained in the building until 1986.

Delivery & Best Prices!

425-312-5489

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
