Klahanie to vote on annexation to Sammamish on April 28 ballot

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

When the Issaquah Cannabis Company opened Friday, there were no packed parking lots at the o� ce building on 230 N.E. Juniper St., no lines out the door, no crowds clamoring for their � rst taste of entirely legal, non-medical marijuana. A� er all, more than six months a� er the � rst licensed stores opened in Washington state, the novelty has dis-sipated somewhat.

� ere was exactly one customer waiting in the shop’s lobby for the stroke of 10 a.m., when the store opened.

At the top of the hour, 63-year-old Randolph “R.A.G.” Grove — a retired Marine and four-year Issaquah resident — was led through the hallway beyond the ID checkpoint, past a large canvas photo print of early 20th century Prohibition czar Ames Woodcock, into the store proper.

On Wednesday, a� er raising a � ag thank-ing the Seahawks above Seattle’s Space Needle, Gov. Jay Inslee embarked on a whistle stop tour of the greater Puget Sound to talk about his education budget and listen to local lead-ers’ take on schooling. Mid-a� ernoon, that tour

brought him to the YWCA Family Village in the Issaquah Highlands for a sit down with dozens of building residents, Issaquah and Sammamish city leaders, educators and nonpro� t workers.

Klahanie residents may be voting themselves into Sammamish in less than three months.

� e Sammamish City Council on Tuesday night unanimously passed a bill requesting an annexation vote for the planned community and its associated neighborhoods on the April 28 special ballot. If the King County Director of Elections accepts the ballot, the city will be on the hook for the cost of a local ballot for Klahanie residents and the printing of an informational pamphlet, as well as the appointment of pro and con committees.

Tuesday's vote was the culmination of a year of formal preparation by the city — and perhaps more than a year of informal preparation by council members.

"� is has been a long, long process," City Manager Ben Yazici said.

Klahanie, an unincorporated planned community on the Sammamish Plateau, was once claimed by the city of Is-saquah's annexation area. But a� er Klahanie residents narrowly rejected an-nexation for the second time in the Feb. 2014 special election — a similar vote

failed in 2005 when Klahanie residents said "yes" to joining Issaquah but "no" to joining into its debt — Issaquah city o� -cials hashed out a deal in April to transfer annexation rights to Sammamish.

In the run-up to the Feb. 2014 election, members of grassroots neighborhood organization Klahanie Choice lobbied for Sammamish o� cials to � ght to bring the area and its 4,000 households into the fold. Choice member Mark Seely, speaking at a Sept. 2013 Sammamish council meeting, argued Klahanie's culture had more in common with Sammamish — geographi-cally, economically and culturally — than Issaquah.

Councilman Ramiro Valderrama-Ara-mayo said it was fellow Councilman Don Gerend who took that argument to heart.

"While the success of getting here has many fathers … one member in particular kept this going and that was Councilmem-ber Gerend," Valderrama-Aramayo said. "One year ago he did envision this going forward."

Klahanie is home to nearly 11,000 people and nearly 4,000 households, meaning Sammamish's population will grow by more than 20 percent if Klahanie residents approve annexation.

Sammamish is currently taking applica-tions for pro and con committees to write statements for the ballot.

Should Sammamish citizens be able to write their own laws and approve them by popular vote? Sammamish o� cials hope to � nd out this spring.

� e city council on Tuesday approved an advisory vote to be placed on the April 28 special election ballot, asking Sammamish citizens if they want the power to create voter initiatives and referenda, thus creating and repealing laws at a grassroots level within the city. � e result of the advisory vote will be nonbinding, instead serving as a mandate for the city council to approve or deny those powers to voters at a later date.

According to city documents, 26 percent of Washington state's 191 "code cities" — a legal designation adopted by most Washington municipalities — grant their citizens the pow-ers of initiative and referendum. Sammamish is the sixth largest city in the state not to grant those powers, behind Kirkland, Kennewick, Auburn, Pasco and Marysville.

Initiative and referendum power allows

citizens with su� cient support from petition signers to dra� laws, or call for their repeal, and put them up to a popular vote. � e power only applies to city ordinances, City Attorney Michael Kenyon said, but not all city ordinances — for example, ordinances that concern human resources matters like collective bargaining and city employee working conditions are exempt.

As of late, certain state lawmakers have been examining the state's initiative process for potential reforms that would allow the state power to deny voter initiatives that don't establish the costs to taxpayers.

"If that passes at the state level, would it af-fect the process at our level?" Councilwoman Kathleen Huckabay asked Kenyon.

Kenyon said it would not, as local initia-tives would not a� ect state co� ers.

As of press time Wednesday, the city of Sammamish had not begun advertising for pro and con ballot committees on the advi-sory vote.

A King County Sheri� ’s deputy has been charged with one count of felony harass-ment in connection to a domestic violence incident at his home outside Issaquah. Prosecutors are accusing Dep. Daniel Murphy, 34, of threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend.

Just a�er 8 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 1, deputies responded to a report of domestic violence at the home of Murphy and his ex-girlfriend, who also works for the sheri� ’s o�ce.

According to charging documents, the couple had recently broken up and Murphy was in and out of the residence. His ex-girlfriend told investigators with the Major Crimes Unit that Murphy had become an-gry about an email she had sent his mother

about the breakup. “I will kill you,” Murphy said, according

to the documents. “I’ve never been more close to physical violence on anyone before. I hope your family dies.”

Murphy was booked into King County Jail Saturday and appeared in King County Superior Court Monday for a hearing, where bail was set at $50,000 while he was being investigated for threats to kill. He

posted bond Monday night.�e King County Sheri� ’s O�ce of-

�cially announced the arrest Tuesday without identifying Murphy prior to formal charging. He was charged Wednesday in a second appearance at the Seattle court-house. He will be arraigned Feb. 17.

Murphy has been placed on administra-tive leave and the o�ce is conducting an internal investigation of the matter.

Sammamish officials are hoping to correct bad behavior by hitting offenders where it hurts — in their wallets.

This week the city initiated one new and one in-creased fine concerning underage parties with alcohol and street parking, respectively.

The Social Host Ordinance, as it was named by the Sammamish Police Department, would hoist heavy civil fines on the persons responsible for any property where police bust up a gathering of four or more underage drinkers. That could be the owner of the property, the tenant of a rental, or the person immediately in control of the party whether they have a stake in the property or not. The ordinance would not apply to gatherings where underage persons are consuming alcohol for

religious or medicinal reasons, or where each underage person is being supervised by their legal guardian.

Police will also have discretion in levying a fine for cases where the person responsible for a property could reasonably be considered to be blameless, Police Chief Nathan Elledge said.

For example, vacationing parents who warn their children not to host a party, or put up security devices to monitor their kids, or designate an adult to check in while they're away would be considered to have done all they could.

"If they can show us those are the steps they took, there's no reason for a citation," Elledge said. "This isn't for them, this is more for the uncle who comes in while the parents are away (and encourages a party)."

Persons found in violation would be subject to a $500 fine for the first offense and $1,000 fines for additional offenses.

The Social Host Ordinance comes as the newest weapon in the police department's assault on under-age drinking, which has included more aggressive DUI enforcement, liquor stings on businesses that sell to minors and the IDEA project, a community based advocacy group.

According to figures from the Sammamish Police Department, 40 percent of DUI arrests in the city from 2009 to 2011 involved people under the age of 21.

Less onerous are recently raised fines on sidewalk parking in residential areas. The city council approved fines for parking on pedestrian walkways to $71, from $20.

Christie Malchow, a resident and candidate for the city planning commission, told the council sidewalk parkers are a danger to pedestrians and a drain on taxpayer funds due to the damage their cars cause to sidewalks.

Malchow said she frequently walks with both a stroller and her family dogs, all of whom are forced to walk in the roadway when a car blocks pedestrian routes.

Councilman Tom Odell said he hoped police would warn offenders before ticketing violations aggressively.

"It's not about the money," Odell said. "I would be happy if we did not collect any money at all from the drinking ordinance or this. It's about safety."

My hope for the Eastside

If you use the 520 bridge, you know you have to pay a toll. If you don’t, you expect the state Department of Transportation to send you a bill for it.

� at sounds so reasonable — and fair. But it’s not. In fact, the state is facing a class-action lawsuit claiming the DOT is making it next to impossible for motorists to win an appeal of what can be onerous � nes that go along with the missed tolls.

� e Legislature needs to � x an obviously � awed system.� e problem is that if you miss paying a toll the DOT

says it is under no requirement to tell you about it. � e result can be a � ne that just keeps growing and growing.

And forget it if you think you can appeal your case and get a reasonable hearing. � e DOT sets the � nes for missed tolls, doesn’t have to tell you as the � nes grow and grow and then has an appeals process that has limits on how much � exibility administrative law judges have in their decisions.

Judge, jury and executioner all in one. And they say government can’t be e� cient.

Sen. Andy Hill, who represents Sammamish, has a proposal to improve the DOT’s customer service, address technology gaps and establish a one-time toll penalty amnesty program. All are worth consideration given that losing a class-action lawsuit would be really expensive for the state. Not only would the state likely have to repay toll penalties, but also face triple damages and attorneys’ fees.

� e Legislature is scrambling for money to pay for schools and other core functions. Having the state on the hook for a � awed toll system will only make things worse.

It doesn’t have to come to that. � e Legislature needs to follow up on Hill’s plan and, if necessary develop it further.

‘Hawks talkThere’s lots being said about the Seahawks sudden loss

T he Eastside is quite simply the best place in America to live, raise a family and pursue a career.

My hope is that the factors that have made possible our unparalleled quality of life will grow even stronger in years to come. Among the most important factors are strong public education, a thriving technology sector and a vibrant community life characterized by outstanding volunteer

leadership.I moved to Bellevue with my parents

in 1977, as a high school sophomore. � e Eastside was a vibrant community in those days, as it is today. However, the same 100 or so people seemed to run ev-erything. � ey were and are great people, there just weren’t enough of them.

Moreover, despite the Eastside’s grow-ing diversity, few community leaders at that time were people of color or immi-grants, and very few were under 40.

As a young lawyer, I served on several committees, but I noticed that I was nearly always the youngest person involved, usually by more than a decade or two.

At the same time, I regularly was asked by other com-munity leaders where they could � nd other younger people to recruit into civic leadership roles, and by many young professionals who I met how they could become involved. A group of us came together to create a networking organiza-tion we called Forum Eastside, and that led us to design and launch Advance Bellevue, a leadership program intended to jumpstart the civic engagement of younger people in our

community. Not long a� er that, a similarly-minded group to our

north created Leadership Institute. Over time, it became obvious that a combined organization made the most sense and the rest, as they say, is Leadership Eastside history.

Many of graduates of Advance Bellevue, Leadership In-stitute and Leadership Eastside have worked hard to recruit and encourage younger and more diverse individuals who re� ect the Eastside’s vibrancy and its future. � ese individu-als o� en come from companies in our burgeoning high-tech sector, and they understand what our high-tech companies need to be successful – especially an educated workforce of life-long learners who turn to our higher education institu-tions again and again throughout their careers to update their skills for a fast-paced economy.

Congratulations on its 10th anniversary, and best wishes for many more years of making a di� erence in our communities.

Rob McKenna is a former Attorney General of the state of Washington.

�e Metropolitan King County Council included $12 million in the 2015-2016 budget to fund the alternative services program. It will initially focus on com-munities where bus service was most

signi�cantly reduced in September due to declining revenue.

Shuttles will operate from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. and from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Morning service will operate west-bound from North Bend, Snoqualmie, Snoqualmie Ridge and Issaquah High-lands (including the �exible service area in Issaquah Highlands), and then operate as an express route on Interstate 90 from Issaquah Highlands to North Bend.

� ere he was greeted by General Manager Cli� Geh-rett and a clerk, in a wide-open room lined on two sides by glass cases � lled with bongs, pipes, vaporizers and edibles.

� ose didn’t interest Grove. He made a beeline straight for the counter and its display of smokables. His eye caught the preloaded Liberty Reach vaporizer pens � rst — or, more accurately, their $75 price tag. Taking into account the 150 pu� s each pen provided, he calculated the price up to the equivalent of an ounce of plain Mary Jane.

“My God, that stu� ’s like gold!” he exclaimed.Gehrett then guided Grove over to the display of

� owering buds, more modestly priced at an average of $17 per gram — a far cry from the sky-high prices seen in the � rst days of legal pot, but still more expensive than what might be obtained at a medical collective. He paid rapt attention as Gehrett went over the various indicas, sativas and hybrids before settling on 2 grams of Orange Dream, a sativa-heavy hybrid of Blue Dream and Orange Crush.

Grove said he never thought he would see legaliza-tion in his lifetime, at the state level or otherwise. But he was extremely skeptical of the legalization movement in Washington state, going so far as to call it “the biggest crock.” Not because of his distaste for the product, but because he felt the black market would always o� er a greater supply at lower prices.

“Street prices have been $40 for an eighth for 30 years,” he said.

Grove said he was strictly there to support the � edg-ling business and Riley Shirey, the owner of the build-ing.

Nevertheless, he was le� dumbfounded by what would be a mundane occurrence in any other retailer: the clerk gave him back a handful of $1 and $5 bills.

“I’ve never had no drug dealer give me change back,” he said, putting his hand up to the clerk and Gehrett for a round of high � ves.

� en Grove was gone, leaving just Gehrett, sta� and a smattering of local media.

� e quiet opening was just � ne by Gehrett. In fact, when asked the day before if he anticipated a � rst-day rush, he momentarily cringed.

“We hope not,” he said, with a small chuckle. He elaborated that he didn’t know what to expect,

but he had repeatedly heard from some locals that they planned to stop by at some point on opening day, giv-ing him reason to believe they would have a so� and steady start. And well before that day arrived, people had

shown up unannounced to satisfy their curiosity about the business. Or to ask — unsuccessfully — for an early crack at the inventory.

Mostly, Gehrett felt relieved to be at the end of a long road of exhaustive preparation. Preparation that included the state license lottery, extensive background checks, a search for retail space that would satisfy state and local zoning restrictions, establishment of supply and permitting.

“It feels fantastic,” he said. “We’ve spent over a year now getting to this point. Peter started this process a year and three months ago when he applied for a retail license.”

� at’s Peter Van Dam, the license-holder for the Issaquah Cannabis Company. Van Dam and Gehrett, named as the business’s � nancier, were old friends from their days as students at University Prep in Seattle. � e former continues to work as a graphic designer and Geh-rett was formerly an investment banker who had worked in the Middle East and New York City before returning to Washington state.

When Initiative 502 passed in the November 2012 elec-tion, the two smelled a business opportunity and formed Reach Island LLC.

� e voter initiative not only legalized marijuana pos-session for all drinking-age adults, but also established a white market industry and taxation model that included licensed producers (the growers), processors (the packag-ers and manufacturers of derivative products, like can-nabis brownies) and retailers.

� e catch was that the number of such businesses would be carefully regulated by the state Liquor Control Board. When the board released its retail distributions by city and county, Issaquah was assigned only one shop license. Like the rest of the 334 licenses, it went up for a lottery among quali� ed applicants.

“Peter was the lucky guy,” Gehrett said.� e business wasn’t able to open with the � rst wave of

retail stores during summer 2014, but the delay had its bene� ts, Gehrett said.

Prices on marijuana product within the state sanc-tioned system — which, due to the taxes imposed on recreational pot, began and have remained more ex-pensive than medical and street prices — have dropped precipitously as more producers and processors have come online.

While prices on � owering buds at retail shops were averaged at $25 per gram in July, according to the Liquor Control Board, they have since dropped 40 percent to an average of $15 per gram.

Gehrett acknowledged that, for heavy users, it still

FISH seeking executive director� e Friends of the Issaquah Salmon Hatchery are seek-

ing a new executive director to replace retiring direc-tor Jane Kuechle. FISH's board of directors announced Wednesday they are inviting applications for Kuechle's position before the end of the day Feb. 18. Kuechle will accept resumes and cover letters at FISH's 125 West Sunset Way o� ce or by email at jane@issaquah� sh.org.

� e part-time position's duties include fundraising, collaborating with the board of directors, supporting mem-bership activities, supervising educational programs, sta� and general administration.

volunteer opportunities, work opportunities and several other amenities outside four walls and a roof over one’s head.

As Inslee arrived, build-ing and services managers Patricia Martel and Sondi Lind showed him the com-plex’s computer lab, mul-tipurpose room, daycare, an apartment and common area mall, where the gov-ernor was rather taken by a sculpture that perfectly emulated the appearance of Northwest mud.

Outside an apartment, Inslee tossed a football with some resident chil-dren, who mistook him for a Seahawks employee. An Inslee sta� er com-mented how disappointed they would be if they found out he was just the

governor.What soon became clear

was that this stop on the tour, though ostensibly about Inslee’s education plan, would be all about the support services that factor into education.

Supt. Ron � iele opened the meeting by saying, de-spite Issaquah’s appearance of a� uence, it has 1,600 students on food subsidy programs.

“� ink of a large com-prehensive high school of kids who all receive free and reduced lunch,” he said.

Paci� c Cascade Middle School Principal Dana Bai-ley told Inslee the school had worked out a number of programs to keep disad-vantaged children engaged, including a breakfast sandwich program that re-quired students to show up on time, and late buses to allow students to get help a� er school.

But Inslee was most taken by the Issaquah Nourishing Network, which operates without funding, Cori Walters said.

“(We’re) trying to build a more stable � nancing net-work when you’re doing it with bailing wire and duct tape,” he said.

“When you tell me your real-life stories, it can have a real impact on legisla-tors,” Inslee said.

"Something wonderful happens when writers read their work aloud," says Kim Kankiewicz, co-founder of Talking Pages. "For writers, it's an opportunity to build con� dence and gauge audience response. For listeners, it's the rare privilege of experiencing an artistic work along with its creator."

Lori A. May, author of "� e Write Crowd," will intro-duce the evening with comments on literary citizenship and will brie� y discuss aspects of memoir writing. Elissa Washuta, author of the memoir "My Body Is a Book of

Rules," will read from her work. � e remainder of the evening is reserved for open mic readings by members of the audience.

While the February event focuses on non� ction, future Talking Pages events will highlight � ction, poetry and writing for children or young adults. A complete schedule and open mic guidelines are available at

www.eastsidewrites.org. � e Talking Pages Reading Series is a program of

Eastside Writes, an organization formed to promote the literary arts in Eastside King County. � rough workshops, readings and related events, Eastside Writes brings together writers of all experience levels to develop and share their work. Upcoming programs include po-etry workshops for mothers in March and youth writing classes later in the year.

Jong Tai Kim thought he made a mistake on his Advance Placement (AP) Macro-economics Exam in May 2014. Turns out he was wrong about the mistake, but very right in regard to the rest of the exam. � e Eastside Catholic student earned a perfect score on the exam, one of only 51 students worldwide to do so.

“I was very surprised to get that score. I thought I made a mistake while I was tak-ing it but it turned out that I didn’t," Kim said. "I didn’t expect that result but was very happy when I got it.”

Kim said he took the test because he is very interested in economics and would like to pursue it as a major.

"I studied and took it as a way of testing

my dreams,” he said.It is rare for a high school student to earn

every point possible on the exam. According to College Board approximately four million

AP exams were taken by 1.5 million U.S. high school students in 2014. Only 285 students earned every point possible.

“Jong Tai’s ability to earn a perfect score on his AP Macroeconomics Exam is an amazing ac-complishment,” said EC Principal Polly Skinner.

“He earned the maximum possible score and he taught himself the course material."

A sizable mid-meet de� cit didn't deter the Issaquah Eagles wrestling team in their Class 4A KingCo matchup against the Bothell Cougars. Bothell comfortably led Issaquah 36-18 with just four matches remaining on the slate, but the Cougars lead evaporated quickly.

Issaquah won the � nal four matches of the night, clinching a come-from-behind 42-36 win on Jan. 29 at Issaquah High School. � e Eagles improved their overall record to 5-2 with the win. Eagles' grapplers William Tickman (106), Steven Solusod (113) and Dakota Kutz (120) registered three pins in a row, tying the match at 36-36. Issaquah's Gunner Starren won by for-feit in the 126-pound weight class in the � nal match of the night, capitulat-ing the Eagles a 6-point victory.

"I always have been very fortunate

Feb. 1 is a date I will never forget due to sheer men-tal anguish and despair.

For the eighth consecutive year, I hosted a Super Bowl shindig in North Puyallup. In my opinion,

Super Bowl XLIX was one of the best Super Bowls ever played. It was by far the biggest emotional roller coaster I’ve experienced watching a game as a fan.

Following Jermaine Kearse’s acro-batic catch on the Patriots 5-yard line late in the fourth quarter, it appeared to Seahawks fans across the world it was only a matter of time until they punched the ball into the end-zone for a 31-28 lead and a second con-

secutive Super Bowl title. Unfortunately it never materialized. Following a

4-yard run by Marshawn Lynch, Russell Wilson was intercepted by Patriots’ defensive back Malcolm Butler

"I told Dakota (Kutz) before the match, 'Now you have to go out there and get angry.' Usually he doesn't do that, but he did it tonight," Hyatt said.

� e third-year wrestler didn't succumb to the pressure of his matchup against Bothell's Trevor Crab.

"It is the same as always. We like to keep it cool and stay in control as a team," Kutz said. "It felt pretty good to go out there and get six points for my team."

Other Issaquah wrestlers earning victories via pins were Jordan Hamilton (145), Colby Starren (160) and Chance Gunter (182).

Lacrosse star enjoys the intensity of basketball courtBY SHAUN SCOTTISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

Eastside Catholic Crusaders girls basket-ball player Ashley Blanton doesn't shy away from challenges on the lacrosse � eld or the

basketball court. Blanton, who will play

collegiate lacrosse for the NCAA Division-1 La Salle University in Philadelphia, carries her lacrosse mentality into the basketball gymnasium. � e senior shooting guard enjoys leading by ex-ample with her exuberance and enthusiasm. Blanton has played competitive basketball

since she was in the second grade. "I feel like I'm one of the people on the

team who likes to talk and pump people up. I'm always the one doing the team break from the huddle. I just like keeping people excited about the game," Blanton said.

Blanton committed to La Salle University in 2013, but it hasn't stopped her from be-ing a vital piece of the Crusaders basketball program these past two seasons. La Salle University head coach Candace Taglianetti Bossell encouraged Blanton to continue her high school basketball career.

"Coach Candace told me to keep playing basketball because its great being part of a team. You learn a lot from that. Teamwork makes the dream work," Blanton said.

Recently the Issaquah Reporter had an opportunity to ask Blanton a few questions about her life away from the basketball court.

Issaquah Reporter: What is your favor-ite movie of all time?

Ashley Blanton: It would have to be “Re-member the Titans” or the “School of Rock.” I'm really into sports movies and “School of Rock” has been one of my favorite movies since I was a child.

IR: What is your biggest pet peeve?AB: When people drive in the bike lane.

� at really annoys me.

IR: How many text messages do you send per day?

AB: I probably send around 100 to 200. I like to text.

IR: What is your favorite restaurant in Sammamish?

AB: Qdoba. I love Mexican food. It is kind

of like a healthier option somewhat, too.

IR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be?

AB: Martin Luther King Jr. I have done a lot of research about him.

IR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

AB: I used to have a slight obsession with Flamingos back in sixth grade. I had Fla-mingo lights and Flamingo stu� ed animals.

IR: Who was your favorite sports team growing up?

AB: I would say de� nitely the Duke Uni-versity men's basketball team.

Eastside Catholic Crusaders shooting guard Ashley Blanton is a huge fan of Duke University's men's basketball team.

Dual sport athlete thrives

with 20 seconds le� in regulation, sealing a Patriots 28-24 victory.

In the seconds and minutes follow-ing Wilson’s interception, the mood was undeniably somber at my apartment. It was a mixture of shock, sadness, anger and disappointment all rolled into a package of pure agony.

� e Seahawks were agonizingly close to winning back-to-back Super Bowl titles. � ey were 1-yard away from realizing not only their dream, but the aspirations of

every Seahawks fan on the planet. � e days following the loss were undoubtedly tough for Seahawks fans.

� e good news for Hawks fans is the future is bright for the home team. Star players Richard Sherman, Kam Chancel-lor, Earl � omas and Russell Wilson are cornerstones of the franchise and will be on the roster for years to come. Going to back-to-back Super Bowls is an accom-plishment in itself. I just hope the Seahawks will return for their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance in Santa Clara in Febru-ary of 2016.
