The city is moving forward on a proposed downtown park/plaza.

The Federal Way City Council unanimously decided to enter into

an exclusive 90-day contract with Seattle’s Lorig Associates to per-form a “site development feasibility study” for the former AMC site in the downtown core.

After recent failures of getting private entities to build something

on the 4-acre site, it appears the city is beginning the first steps toward the mixed-use park, retail and residential design that was offered as an alternative by city staff.

“We commissioned a concept sketch last summer or early fall, as

to how to develop the site with an alternative from the proposals we’d had coming in, in previous years from the private sector,” said Pat-rick Doherty, director of commu-nity and economic development.

Brigadoon Elementary School children got a firsthand lesson in living a “green” lifestyle as they collected and recycled gently used clothes and shoes. The Goodwill truck collected the goods May 2 at the school, 3601 SW 336th St. The kids

collected 858 pounds, which is more than twice the average for an elementary school. “In addition to helping others, it will teach our students the value of recycling and volunteerism,” said Brigadoon Principal Chris Odell. The Goodwill project’s overall effort will collect 1,250,000 pounds of donations, generating funds to help 9,000 southwest Washington residents with job training and placement in the area.

A gang is a group of people who make money from criminal enterprises, and South King County has its share of gang activity.

Common crimes as-sociated with gang activity include auto theft, burglar-ies, drugs and prostitution. A thread among gang-related activity is that most offenders live outside of the communities where they commit their crimes.

A blog called Northwest Gangs has actively tracked

and shared gang-related headlines and photos for the past several years. The blog’s creator, who goes by Brad to protect his ano-nymity, has documented gangs and their graffiti in South King County.

Brad said the more established gangs in Federal Way include the 74 Hoover Criminals (mostly along Pacific Highway), Family Mafia Crips, West Side Ma-fia Blood Gang, King Un-derground Surenos, South Side Playboys, Sureno King Lokotes and Sons of Samoa.

“More or less, you’re

seeing a spillover of the same gangs in Seattle and Tacoma,” Brad told The Mirror about gang activity in South King County.

SPECIALREPORT

This month, The Mirror will examine gangs in Federal Way and South King County. Next week’s installment of the series will discuss the resources that local governments and police departments devote toward battling gang activity.

Jim Ferrell announces candidacy for FW mayorBy Andy HoBBs

[email protected]

Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell will run for mayor of Federal Way in 2013.

The announcement comes weeks after Ferrell initially declined to seek the office currently held by Mayor Skip Priest. Ferrell said his change of heart came after members of the community asked him to run. He cited a concern for public safety and the overall lack of vision from the incumbent mayor as two rea-sons for seeking the office.

“Our approach toward public safety will change when I am your mayor,” Ferrell said in a news release. “As your mayor, I will make public safety my top priority.”

In the announcement, Ferrell cited the current mayor’s lack of focus on the issue of public safety, including the rejection of funding for four police officers, refusal to participate in a regional gang task force, and the overall reduction of the police department. Ferrell also cited a nearly 24 percent increase in burglaries from 2011 to 2012, and about a 12 percent increase in auto thefts from 2011 to 2012.

The public safety platform extends to Ferrell’s positions on economic devel-opment in Federal Way. Ferrell said a proposed $32 million performing arts and conference center (PACC) will “negatively affect our city’s ability to fully fund our po-lice force, as the cost to run this facility will negatively impact our city’s finances.”

Ferrell said that on a project this large, the city needs interest from private inves-

tors, and said there is no game plan for securing funding or paying for the facility’s operation. In March, Ferrell was the lone dissenting vote as the Federal Way City Council approved moving forward with a schematic design for the PACC.

Coinciding with the campaign an-nouncement is an endorsement from the Federal Way Police Officers Guild.

“Jim’s leadership and commitment to the community is what the citizens of Federal

Way need,” wrote Richard Kim, president of the guild. “His compas-sion for ‘the people’ is a clear choice for our full endorsement.”

Ferrell was first elected to the Federal Way City Council in 2003, and has worked as a King County prosecutor for 18 years. In 2009, he led an effort to change the city’s form of government to allow voters to directly elect a “strong mayor.” In 2010, he ran for mayor against Priest, but got about 48 percent of the vote. In that campaign, Ferrell spent $80,073 and Priest spent $39,622.

Last month, Priest announced his bid for a second term. In a news release, Priest said that safety remains the city’s number one pri-

ority. The city recorded its lowest crime rate in 2011, something that Priest credits to the Federal Way Police Department and com-munity engagement initiatives like the Safe City camera program. “We are committed to using a proactive rather than reactive approach to ensuring public safety in our community,” Priest said.

Filing deadline for candidates is May 13-17. All candidates are required to disclose campaign finances/donations with the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) at http://www.pdc.wa.gov.

Following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:• Gloved hand comes through woman’s open window: At 5:06 a.m. May 5 in the 28000 block of 26th Avenue South, the victim reported she was in her bedroom with the window open and the blinds closed. A gloved hand came through the window and attempted to pull the blinds up. The victim made a noise, and the gloved hand disappeared. Accord-ing to the report, police conducted an area check, but were unable to find any suspicious individuals in their search.• Husband attacked by wife: At 4:04 a.m. May 4 in the 2600 block of SW 327th Street, a hus-band and wife came home from a night of dancing. According to the report, at some point after return-ing home, the wife discovered a message to the husband from one of the husband’s “female friends.” Despite the husband’s best expla-nations, the wife became angry and attacked him, scratching his face and shoulders and causing bleeding. The wife was arrested for assault/domestic violence.• Dog attacked by two other dogs: At 10:45 a.m. May 4 in the 29000 block of 25th Place South, a German Shepherd was attacked by two other dogs. According to the report, one of the attacking dogs had been labeled “potentially dangerous” in 2010. The report notes the dangerous dog’s owner voluntarily gave up the dog, and the dog is now in quarantine at the Tacoma Humane Society.• Vehicle prowl at church parking lot: At 10:48 a.m. May 4 in the 300 block of South 312th Street, a man’s vehicle was broken into in a church parking lot while he attended a meeting at the church. According to the report, a bag containing a number of personal electronics, along with other belongings, was stolen from the vehicle.• HVAC units targeted by cop-per wire thieves: At 1:51 p.m. May 4 in the 34000 block of 11th Place South, unknown suspects entered the victim’s property and removed $25,000 in copper wiring and metal from five HVAC units on

the property.• Model home broken into: At 10:45 a.m. May 5 in the 34000 block of 11th Avenue SW, a real estate agent reported that a “model” home for a development had been broken into. According to the report, the unknown suspects moved the kitchen appliances from the kitchen to the garage, but did not appear to have stolen anything. The report notes there was some damage to the floors of the kitchen and other parts of the home from the appliances being dragged across the floors.• Would-be Xbox thief ar-rested: At 2:41 p.m. May 5 in the 2200 block of South Commons, a man was arrested for attempting to steal an Xbox console from a store.• Woman recovers stolen phone after short chase: At 4:15 p.m. May 5 in the 1200 block of South 320th Street, a woman had taken her phone with her as she used a public restroom. Ac-cording to the report, the woman absent-mindedly left the phone in the particular stall she used. Another woman came in shortly afterward to use the same stall, and the phone was gone after that. The victim confronted the woman, who denied taking the phone. The would-be phone thief fled the scene, but the victim followed her to a park. At the park, police and the woman again confronted the other woman, who relented and admitted she took the phone.• Squatters take over wom-an’s home for weekend: At 8:16 p.m. May 5 in the 1600 block of South 340th Street, a woman reported that her home had been broken into and apparently lived in for the weekend. The report notes that she had left for the weekend and discovered her home had been broken into upon returning. The unknown suspects didn’t appear to steal anything, but only lived in the house for the weekend.• Heroin junkie found passed out in bathroom: At 9:50 p.m. May 5 in the 1200 block of South 320th Street, a man was found passed out in a store’s restroom. According to the report, the man had apparently overdosed or passed out from an injection of heroin, because the needed para-phernalia was still tied around his arm and the needle was still in his hand. A search of the man’s person also turned up “shaved keys,” which are considered burglary tools.

FW cyclist dies in accidentMirror StAFF rePortS

Federal Way resident Lance David, 54, died in a bicycle accident May 1 in Seattle. David collided with a semi-truck while riding on East Marginal Way. The cause of death was reported as blunt force injury to the head, according to the King County Medical Exam-iner. Seattle police are investigating the case.

The Seattle Times re-ports that the truck was turning right, from South Hanford Street to north-bound East Marginal Way, when David and his bicycle struck the flat-bed trailer’s wheels. The reports notes that David was an experienced rider who pedaled twice a week from Federal Way to downtown Seattle. He was employed at Expedi-tors International of Washington Inc., a global logistics and freight for-warding company.

He leaves behind a wife of nearly 32 years, Jane, along with two children, twins Diana and William, 23. Co-workers and friends biked to the crash site last week in David’s honor.

Car crash kills FW womanKent rePorter

A car driven by a 24-year-old Kent man crashed May 1 along In-terstate 5 in Seattle, killing one Federal Way woman passenger and injuring five

other passengers.Drugs or alcohol were

involved in the crash and the car also was traveling at a high rate of speed at about 11:50 p.m. south-bound near the West Seattle exit when the driver failed to negotiate a curve and struck an attenuator (used to buffer crashes), accord-ing to Washington State Patrol.

The crash killed Asha Sa-lim, 20, of Federal Way, ac-cording to the King County Medical Examiner’s Office. Salim died at the scene of the accident. She was not

wearing a seat belt.The seven people —

three men and four women ages 18-24 — were riding in a 1992 Cadillac El Dorado. Paramedics transported the driver and five injured passengers to Harborview Medical Center in Se-attle. The injured included an 18-year-old Tukwila woman. The hometowns of the other passengers were not listed in the accident report. The cause of the accident and any charges against the driver remained under investigation by the State Patrol.


Columns were all about politics, not leadership

Politicians be on guard. Mayor Skip Priest and Deputy Mayor Jim Ferrell had shots fired across their respective bows by The Mirror be-cause they did not appear at a local crime scene recently, and thus, did not demonstrate proper leadership.

That’s the rationale behind two articles written by Rudi Alcott and Bob Roegner in last week’s Mirror.

Had Federal Way leaders failed to show up at a local natural disaster, an allegation of insensitive leader-ship may have been in order, but not at a local crime scene, regard-less of its nature. The police have that jurisdiction.

Who in Federal Way expects

council members to show up at crime scenes? For what? Where do you draw the line as to which crime scenes to appear or which ones to ignore?

Deep water awaits the unwary or naive. I can envision situations where Priest or Ferrell might guess wrong, stay home, and find them-selves on the defensive. They have enough on their plates and they don’t need that kind of distraction or dilemma.

We citizens don’t want them wasting energy wending their way through minefields we have planted with yet another politically correct duty. Will deadly car accidents be next? I suspect the two articles

were not about leadership anyway; they were about politics.Don Payne, Federal Way

Rebranding city isn’t a job for amateurs

As someone who has spent the better part of four decades brand-ing and rebranding products and companies, I read with incredulity the idiocy in the front page article “Rebranding Federal Way: Ask students?”

We have Dini Duclos, Finance/Economic Development/Regional Affairs Committe (FEDRAC) chair, saying that what we need to rebrand is “a new tagline and a new

logo. And a better description of this city.”

No Dini, that’s what rebranding isn’t. Dini also thinks it’s a good idea to have a contest among high school students, none of whom have any branding understanding or experience, to rebrand the city. Good one Dini. While they’re at it, why don’t you have them design the never-will-be-profitable performing arts and conference center (PACC). Never mind they know nothing about architecture. Surely youthful exuberance will guarantee success.

Not to be outdone, committee member Susan Honda suggested including community college stu-dents, none of whom have had any branding experience, in the effort. Great idea Susan.

Then we have another committee

Like the ripples of a stone cast into a pond, the reverberations from the Pinewood Village Apartment murders continue to impact local politics.

Deputy Mayor and King County Prosecutor Jim Ferrell announced this week he would reverse his previous position and run for mayor.

Just three weeks ago, it appeared in-cumbent Mayor Skip Priest might run unopposed. In his April 17 announce-ment, Priest stated he was “proud of the direction Federal Way was heading.” His press release said safety remains the city’s number one priority and cited the 2011 crime statistics as the lowest since the police department was founded.

During that same week, Ferrell announced he would not run for mayor, even though he had been gearing up to run for well over a year.

The speculation, at that time, was that while there was room in Priest’s record for debate, other than the performing arts and conference center (PACC), the differences over the past two years between Priest and Ferrell seemed more in style rather than substance.

And nothing significant enough had oc-curred in Priest’s tenure to capture public at-tention — no galvanizing issue to springboard other issues and a campaign.

All that changed with the Pinewood Vil-

lage Apartment murders. Suddenly there were several issues to raise: domestic violence, gun availability, neighborhood safety, and police

department staffing.And in his announcement earlier

this week, Ferrell made sure to high-light some of those differences. He also stated that he had been endorsed by the Federal Way Police Officers Guild.

Many had noted that in his re-elec-tion press release Priest had used crime statistics from 2011. Ferrell believes

it is because the crime statistics for 2012 were much worse as burglaries and auto theft had significantly increased and overall crime was up.

It struck many as odd that Priest would make such a rookie mistake and leave such an easy opening for Ferrell, or the press, to question. It gives further credence to how safe Priest may have felt three weeks ago.

Both Priest and Ferrell have received criti-cism for their lack of leadership in the after-math of the murders as both deferred to Police Chief Brian Wilson when the persona of the city’s elected leaders was what was needed, par-ticularly the mayor. And neither was ready with a plan that would be reassuring to the public in a time of turmoil and fear.

Ferrell may have also made a tactical mistake

• Cheers to the most outstanding sunny weather for the start of May. Whoever did that sun dance should sign up for “Dancing with the Stars.”

• Jeers to all of the recent killings around the world and particularly in Federal Way at the Pinewood Village Apartments. You’d think as a sentient species, we would be better than this.

• Cheers to Federal Way Police Cmdr. Kyle Sumpter for making the next edition of “Top Shot: All Stars.” Here’s hoping to a good outcome again for him. He represents the police department very well in this History Channel reality TV show.

• Jeers to the city and the chamber of commerce for allowing more businesses to leave Federal Way than are opening. This is not a zero sum game. Someone doesn’t have to lose to allow another to win. There is room for everyone.

• Cheers to all mothers on Mother’s Day and any other day. Without you, there’s no us.

• Cheers to Thomas Jefferson High School for its recent production of the musical “Chicago.” The students worked hard and did a wonderful job in bringing quality theater to their city.

• Cheers to the mentors for Communities In Schools of Federal Way. Because of these positive adult role models, more kids stay in school and learn to succeed in life.

• Jeers to the city’s FEDRAC committee for sug-gesting high school students design the next motto for the city. There’s a reason advertising firms exist. They employ clever people that design and tailor these kinds of campaigns for a client. Spend the money and hire a top firm to do this. This is a clear case of being penny wise and pound foolish.

• Cheers to Todd Beamer High School student and Eagle Scout Austin Bergstrom, whose CPR training and quick action saved a woman’s life after she collapsed in Safeway in Milton earlier this year. We need more citizens like Austin Berg-strom. On that note, cheers to Gov. Jay Inslee, who signed a bill into law Wednesday that ensures all high school students receive CPR training before they graduate. The law will make CPR education part of health class.

by agreeing to speak at the police-hosted community event. In a strong mayor form of government, usually only the mayor and chief would have spoken. By speaking and not offering a plan, Ferrell limited his own ability to maneuver, and may have put himself in the same box as Priest.

There are differences in these two candidates, and it will be interesting to see how they present the issues to the public. But this time around, it is likely to be much more confrontational as two local political heavy-weights vie for the prize of the mayor’s office and a four-year term.

We have a race for mayor, and it might be a good one.

Federal Way resident Bob Roegner, former mayor of Auburn, can be reached at [email protected].

member, Bob Celski, chim-ing in that “It would be some really good publicity.” Pile on Bob. You’ll note all the big ideas above are about tactics and totally devoid of any strategy.

The only person who made any sense was Mi-chael Navarro, a local busi-ness owner, who suggested the city reach out to the business community. You know, those pesky people who pay the taxes that pay the salaries of bureaucrats who would rather hold a contest than address the difficult task of successfully rebranding a city. Here are a couple of branding hints:

Words matter. When logging town Federal Way was founded in 1929 and named after what is now Highway 99, locals prob-ably knew what Federal Way meant. Think anyone knows that today? Back then, most people had a positive impression of anything federal — govern-ment, FDR, the New Deal, CCC, WPA, etc.

Today, the word federal brings to mind such nega-tives as high taxes, excessive regulations, incompetence, bloated budgets and uncar-ing bureaucrats. Federal Way is easily translated by outsiders as “the federal way of doing things is the

way they do things in Fed-eral Way.” Could be worse — think SeaTac, as in tacky.

Need another example of words matter? Back in the 1960s, there was a diet pill out of England named Ayds. Think that name would fly today? One rebranding option is to change the name of the product. Some might know the country’s largest city, New York, was once known as New Amsterdam.

Perception is reality. When I lived elsewhere in King County, my percep-tion of Federal Way was one of shopping centers, strip malls, cheesy subdivi-sions and a high crime rate (still higher than Seattle according to city data).

Now that I live in Federal Way, I’d add there are a lot of apartment buildings, small businesses, a great main library, a plethora of good ethnic restaurants and a terrific rhododendron garden. What our resident branding geniuses need to do is start with an honest SWOT (strengths, weak-ness, opportunities and threats) analysis instead of grandstanding with feel good, cockamamie ideas. An honest SWOT analysis can lead to winning brand-ing strategies, which lead to tactical programs that can succeed in positively rebranding Federal Way.

If branding isn’t under-stood, if its value is not realized and if it is not done right, it won’t succeed. Frankly, the rebranding of Federal Way is too impor-tant to be left to amateurs.Gary Heil, Federal Way

Sex life, etc.Kudos to David Green,

owner of Hobby Lobby. Why should he have to pay for someone’s choices in re-gards to their sex life when they can’t take responsibil-ity for their actions? He should not be held respon-sible for them wanting to take a life because of their choices. We need more good neighbors like him and his business.Betty Hatch, Federal Way

Ask kids about rebranding city?

Read the May 3 article on rebranding Federal Way. A performing arts center will not change the image of Federal Way. You are asking high school kids to come up with ideas. Their only concerns are cellphones, social media, gaming and other tech-driven formats. They do not care about going downtown to a piano bar and enjoying others, listening to good music — and I don’t mean hip-hop rap crap — such as jazz,

blues, ballroom dancing.A performing arts center

will only help the commu-nity of non-social gatherers, church groups, politicians and business leaders. The majority of people want to go to downtown areas for antique shopping, bakeries, specialty stores, boutiques, wine shops, etc., such as the Proctor District in Ta-coma, or Kent Station and its newer downtown area, or Seattle. I went to The Commons out of necessity, not want, and had to listen to gang kids, hip-hop kids swearing, getting in people’s way, being a nuisance, and the security guard did nothing to disperse the loi-tering. There is nothing for me to do, go to, or enjoy in Federal Way. I go elsewhere like Tacoma, Kent, Se-attle, or areas that have the downtown image — even Gig Harbor has a quaint area to go and spend the day. You have no nightlife, no concert venues, gather-ing places for adults to go, hence why ask the kids? I have to go outside the city for a good concert, then go out later to meet with oth-ers, maybe socialize, dance, or just be out. No, I have to drive 20 or 30 minutes out of my way.

Where do I go for danc-ing, pottery shops, antique shops, custom furniture etc.? Tacoma, Seattle, Kent,

Kirkland, Issaquah. I know the impact of the environ-ment, but even a well done area on Dash Point would be great as long as it does not interfere in the area. Give me kite shops, candy stores, hat shops, custom music instruments, a cafe bistro, a bakery, coffee shop, meeting place, candle store. Try looking at Carmel in California — every day is busy and the weekends are packed. Local artistry sells, and sells big. Douglas Brooks, Federal Way

I told the truthI got a ticket, explained

my case to the judge and had the fine cut in half. I was pleased with it as I told the truth under oath.

Now, before I took my turn, there was a litany of people telling the judge under oath that they did not know who was driving their car. Really?

So their case got dis-missed and no fine whatso-ever. Is this justice really?

It was so clear that they were all lying through their teeth. Just tell me if you do not know who is driving your car at any time of the day and night? More so when you got a fine…

So far for being honest or a liar. What does it tell us about the legal system?Ginou Tapp, Federal Way

ELECTION 2013: Miller seeks council seatMIrrOr sTaff rEpOrTs

Ryan Miller has an-nounced he will run for position 6 of the Federal Way City Council.

Miller has been a Federal Way resident for more than two years and is currently employed as the general manager at the Hampton Inn and Suites in Federal Way. He is also a committee member of the city’s Lodg-ing Tax Advisory Commit-tee. According to a news re-lease, Miller’s top priorities in seeking his first elected office are strengthening the city’s economy by attract-ing businesses and tourism; working with schools; and public safety.

A meet and greet will run 6 to 8 p.m. May 30 at the Clarion Hotel on 20th Avenue South in Federal Way. To learn more, call (208) 816-1428 or email [email protected].

Miller will run for the seat held by Diana Noble-Gulliford, who was appointed to fill a vacant council position in January. Noble-Gulliford told The Mirror she plans to run for election, but has not of-ficially declared.

Earlier this month, Martin Moore announced his candidacy for position 6. Moore is currently State Rep. Roger Freeman’s legis-lative aide.

Filing deadline for candi-dates is May 13-17. In other council election news:

• For city council posi-tion two, Kelly Maloney and Mark Koppang have declared their candidacies. Maloney was appointed to the seat in January and is running to keep the seat. Koppang previously ran for council in 2011.

• Jeanne Burbidge has announced her bid for re-election to position four. She was first elected in 1997, and served as ap-pointed mayor during her second term in 2002.

• South King Fire and Rescue Commissioner Bill Gates announced his bid for re-election for position one. He was first elected to the board in 2001 and was re-elected in 2007.

8 police officers return to duty after apartment shootingBy GREG ALLMAIN

[email protected]

In the first city council meeting since the fatal April 21 shooting at the Pine-wood Village Apartments that left five dead, Mayor Skip Priest shared his thoughts on the response to the violent shootout that shocked Federal Way.

“The measure of a com-munity is not found in the occurrence of a tragedy such as this, but how the community responds to tragedy,” Priest said. “I am proud to say the commu-nity of Federal Way has responded with compas-sion for the victims, with professionalism and with resolve to heal and continue moving forward as a com-munity.”

The shooter in the inci-dent, Dennis Clark III, was shot dead by the Federal Way Police Department the night of the incident. Eight officers discharged their

weapons, and were placed on administrative leave, a routine procedure. The of-ficers were cleared to return to duty this week.

The apartments are located off Pacific Highway along South 333rd Street. The killings began April 21, when Clark fatally shot his girlfriend, Justine Baez, in the midst of an argument. Clark then killed 23-year-old Ceasar A. Valdovinos, 47-year-old Bradley Fischer, and 62-year-old Roland L. Scobee. It’s believed Clark killed them in an attempt to eliminate witnesses to his killing of Baez.

Clark’s rampage is believed to be the most vio-lent incident in the history of Federal Way.

Two weapons were found at the scene: a .40-caliber Taurus semi-automatic pis-tol, and a pistol-grip Moss-berg 500 pump shotgun with a four-round saddle.

In the aftermath, the public learned about Clark’s past run-ins with police over weapons and domestic violence calls. Clark was legally licensed to carry the firearms and had no crimi-nal history.

North Shore golf course will stayBy CaSey OlSON

[email protected]

It looks like the North Shore Golf Course will remain just that — a golf course. The Washington Court of Appeals issued a ruling last week because the developer of the pro-posed 860-home Point at Northshore filed land-use paperwork two days late, according to documents.

The ruling is a huge vic-tory for the city of Tacoma and a citizens group, Save NE Tacoma, who have been fighting the development on the 116-acre golf course since 2007.

Developers were looking to build 366 homes and 494 townhouses, but now have 30 days to decide whether to ask the state Supreme Court to review the deci-sion. The crux of the ruling by the Court of Appeals centers on the date of April 13, 2010. That’s when the Tacoma City Council voted unanimously to deny the rezoning of the property

that would have allowed the developers to move forward. The developers of the Point at Northshore had 21 days to alert Tacoma that they planned to appeal the decision. The developer did so on May 6, 2010, two days after the deadline.

The Point at Northshore developers had argued that the Tacoma City Council’s decision wasn’t official until it was put into writing on April 15, 2010, meaning they did meet the deadline. The court of appeals dis-agreed: “We hold that the 21-day period began to run on the date of the council’s oral vote because this vote...was the final decision and was entered into the public record in several formats,” they wrote.

From the beginning, Tacoma and Federal Way had concerns about the development. The parties worried about impacts to traffic, schools, open space and the environment. In 2007, Federal Way sub-mitted a letter to Tacoma detailing the environmental impacts it foresaw from the proposed development.

DAILY IN MAY

Gentrification and new construction lead to gang members looking for homes in other low-income neighborhoods.

“Territorial-wise, it’s just kind of spread all over,” Brad said.

Brad’s observations of gang activity in South King County aligns with the view of local law enforcement, in that gangs are less concen-trated compared to Seattle and Tacoma neighbor-hoods. Seattle areas like South Park and the Central District have established gang territory.

Brad, a Seattle resident, said he is not involved in a gang, and instead works in public relations. He started the blog because he had trouble finding information on local gangs, a topic he learned about in his native Yakima. Local media and law enforcement have con-tacted him for insight.

The 32-year-old blogger

views his site as a public education service. Gang members have emailed death threats, he said, while others accuse him of glam-orizing the gang lifestyle.

“I hear from youth coun-selors, school teachers,” he said. “People come to my website because they’re looking for information.”

One thing Brad’s site teaches is the difference be-tween gang graffiti and ran-dom street tagging. Gang graffiti is meant to commu-nicate a specific message, and is typically one color and straightforward. The tagging by “artists” and wannabes, however, often features bubble letters and multiple colors.

According to the Center for Children and Youth Justice, gang members often grow up in dysfunctional households with a lack of positive role models and supervision. By living un-der conditions that promote criminal behavior, young gang members are more

likely to drop out of school or go to prison.

Federal Way casesFederal Way’s gang-relat-

ed cases include the murder charges filed against Renton resident Kenneth Sutton for a July 2012 shooting at Johnny’s Famous Bar and Grill. The case is being handled by the county’s ho-micide unit. King County lacks a system or method for counting the number of gang members that reside in each city. The county prosecutor’s office keeps statistics only on gang cases filed as criminal charges:

• Between Jan. 2010 and Dec. 2011, nine gang cases on file had occurred in Federal Way. Of those cases, only two were committed by residents of Federal Way. In that time period, gang members living in Fed-eral Way committed nine crimes on file, including the two referenced above.

• Between Jan. 2010 and Dec. 2011, Seattle had 45

cases filed, Kent had 11 cases, Auburn had 10, Rent-on had 8, and Seatac had 6.

• Top gang-related crimes in Federal Way are assaults (shootings and stabbings), armed robberies, burglaries, drive-by shootings and gun possession.

• According to a 2011 re-port, there are an estimated 12,000 gang members in King County, with about 143 active criminal street gangs. The King County Sheriff ’s Office reported that about 87 of those gangs are active in South King County, and 46 have at least 15 members each.

• Contrary to stereo-types, some gangs in King County contain multiple generations and ethnicities. Although there are some all-female gangs, many local gangs consist of both men and women.

• Federal Way employs two half-time paid posi-tions for graffiti removal, and residents can report graffiti at (253) 835-2617.

“This alternative is an-chored by a public plaza…a drive that goes through the site to provide access to the park or any retail shops at the base of the building(s). A water feature was also identified as a key compo-nent.”

Doherty said the city’s research into this type of development shows that once a project like the proposed one is in place, it has the ability to “activate” adjacent areas. The parcel of land by the Federal Way Transit Center that now hosts the sculpture garden is also a potential space that could be part of the project, Doherty noted.

Doherty indicated that Lorig Associates has a strong history of good work in the region.

“Lorig Associates has indicated an interest in this project as a concept. They have 40 years of experience in real estate development and management in the Seattle area,” Doherty said. “They’ve been involved in many projects and pioneer-ing work in places that require creativity and inno-vation from the developer.”

Doherty said Lorig Asso-ciates would cover the costs of the 90-day study, and that it would include a “site planning program,” a mar-ket analysis, project budget, financial model, project schedule and a presentation to the council at the end of the 90-day period. Doherty said the city would provide help with the market analy-sis, so the city and Lorig could “get a bit deeper than just the broad demograph-

ics as to who the potential market would be for (the) proposal.”

Bruce Lorig, founder and co-owner of Lorig Associ-ates, was on hand during the May 7 meeting, and gave a few remarks on the new feasibility study.

“We’re quite honored that you’re considering us to help your continuing development of the city center,” Lorig said. “Try-ing to change from a more suburban model to a more urban model..this really is not an easy task. This is a challenge, and an oppor-tunity. We’ve done these things before…and we’re going to work really hard to challenge this assignment.”

FYI• Lorig Associates is the

developer responsible for the Village at Overlake Station in Redmond, along with the Uwajimaya Village in Seattle’s International District. To learn more about Lorig Associates and their local work, visit www.lorig.com.

• The empty 4-acre lot on 20th Avenue South was once home to AMC Theatres. In 2007, the city purchased the site for $4.1 million. The site had at-tracted private proposals for skyscrapers and later a Crystal Palace. Both pro-posals fizzled due to lack of money. The park concept has garnered support from several council members and could cost about $2.5 million. The park has a potential tie-in with a pro-posed 700-seat performing arts and conference center (PACC) to be located in an adjacent lot if it’s built.

Soccer: Jefferson, Prado-Huerta claim SPSL championship

By CASEy OLSON

[email protected]

Isidro Prado-Huerta has played in plenty of top-level soccer match-es and scored plenty of goals.

But the Thomas Jefferson senior, who has been a mainstay inside the Sounders FC Academy program for the last few seasons, tallied one of the more dramatic goals of his career Wednesday night.

Prado-Huerta netted the goal that won the Raiders the South Puget Sound League championship

at Federal Way Memorial Stadium over district rival Federal Way in the final minute of the 80-minute contest. The goal gave TJ a 4-3 vic-tory.

The heart-stopping win gives the Raiders, the champs of the SPSL North, the top seed into Saturday’s 4A West Central District tourna-ment. Jefferson (13-0-4) will play the third seeded team from the Greater St. Helen’s League at 4 p.m. at Art Crate Stadium in Graham in a loser-out, winner-to-state contest.

Federal Way will take on Gig Harbor at 2 p.m. at Art Crate Sta-dium. Gig Harbor is the fourth seed from the Narrows League.

Wednesday in the SPSL title game, the Eagles (15-2-0) got on the scoreboard first in the 29th min-ute. That’s when forward Odasson Pelogi, also a Sounders FC Acad-

emy veteran, cruised through the TJ defense to give Federal Way a 1-0 lead, which is how it stayed until halftime.

Jefferson’s first goal came in the 50th minute after Prado-Huerta was fouled inside the Federal Way pen-alty box. Brandon Madsen stepped up and converted the penalty kick to tie the score at 1-1. It was Mad-sen’s 15th goal on the season.

But the tie didn’t last too long. The Eagles took the lead back nine minutes later when Edwin Ortiz took a pass from Alex Lewis and scored. It was Ortiz’s 17th goal of the season to lead the Eagles.

Prado-Huerta knotted the game back up at 2-2 in the 70th minute and hit a shot from just outside the penalty area.

And just five minutes later, the

TJ senior scores goal in final minute to beat FW Wednesday and secure league’s top seed, 4-3

raiders win second SPSL title in a row, districts next

State title next step for FW track?

Dominant might be the best word to describe the Federal Way High School boys track and field team.

The program, under the direc-tion of longtime head coach Sam Beesley, hasn’t lost a South Puget Sound League dual meet since the 2007 season, winning six league titles in a row with unbeaten records.

Leading the way for the Eagles

has been a group of nine se-niors that have been rocks of the program since they entered as ninth-graders. The group has never tasted a league defeat and hopes to go out standing on top of the podium as the Class 4A state team champions.

The group of Mike Tate (jumps, sprints), Aaron Persinger (hurdles), Branden Warren (pole vault), Albert Havili (throws), Ezekiel McNeal (sprints), D’Londo Tucker (sprints, jumps), Tremaine Rambo (distance), Napoleon Huynh (hurdles) and Caleb Dawson (hurdles) will leave Federal Way with four SPSL Central Division titles.

“When they came in, I asked them if they could keep it going and they’ve kept it going,” Beesley said. “They are winners.”

That’s just par for the course for the Federal Way boys track and field team. Winning is a way of life for the Eagles.

“When I got here, I got the feeling this team won a whole lot,” said McNeal, one of the top all-around sprinters in the state.

“Beesley told us that we have got to keep the tradition going,” Tucker said. “And we just kept it going. Nobody wants to be a loser. We always go out and try to win.”

Federal Way’s unbelievable winning tradition has never translated at the state meet, where no district school has ever won a boys team championship. The Eagles are hoping to change that this season and have the athletes to do just that.

The Thomas Jefferson Raiders are officially the best tennis team in the South Puget Sound League.

The Raiders won the 18-team SPSL Tournament Monday at Au-burn Riverside High School. Jeffer-son finished the three-day tourna-ment with 40 points to outdistance second-place Mount Rainier, who finished with 31 points. Puyal-lup was third with 25 points and Beamer finished in fourth-place overall with 22 points.

The doubles team of Cindy Park and Michelle Lee rolled through their bracket to win the SPSL cham-pionship. Park and Lee downed the Kentridge team of Kyana Esber and Katie Ly in the final, 6-2, 6-3, Monday afternoon

Park and Lee didn’t lose a set during the SPSL Tournament. The team also beat a Puyallup duo in the semifinals, 6-1, 6-3, Monday.

Park and Lee will now be the SPSL’s top seed into the West Central/Southwest District Tourna-ment, which will take place May 17-18 at the Capitol City Club in Tumwater.

Beamer’s Jenny Hoefel and Kiele Bowman also qualified for districts in doubles after finishing in third place at the SPSL Tournament. The Titan pair lost to Esber and Ly in the semifinals in a rugged three-setter, 1-6, 6-3, 6-4, before coming back and beating Puyallup’s Jamie Larson and Lindsey Walker in the

third/sixth match, 6-2, 6-2.

Jefferson’s Toni Mullen and Rileigh Qualls will also play at districts, as will Nichelle Song and Gloria Oh.

Mullen and Qualls fin-ished fourth after beating Kentwood’s Nguyen and Charlton in the fourth/seventh match Monday, 6-4, 4-6, 7-6. Song and Oh grabbed the eighth-seed after winning two-straight loser-out matches.

The top-nine finishers Monday advanced to the West Central/Southwest District Tournament.

On the singles’ court, Beamer’s Lindsey Tyson and TJ’s Michelle Lee also qualified. Tyson finished up in fifth place and Lee will be the SPSL’s sixth seed.

After losing in the quarterfinals, Tyson won two matches in a row, including a three-setter over Kentridge’s Jessica Lam in the fifth/eighth match, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4.

Lee advanced into the semifinals before losing two-straight matches to finish in sixth place.

letes with times or distances that rank in the top eight in the entire Class 4A clas-sification this year.

Persinger leads the state in both the 110-meter hurdles (14.87) and 300 hurdles (38.38), as does junior Keenan Curran (46 feet, 11.75 inches) in the triple jump and freshman Tyson Penn in the high jump (6-8). Tate is ranked second in the long jump (23-3.5), McNeal is third in both the 100 (10.91) and 200 (21.83), and Havili is third in the discus (171-1).

The Eagles also bring back three-fourths of the defending state-champion 4x400 relay team in Pers-

inger, McNeal and Tate. “I think we have it this

year,” Havili said. “It would be a good way to end it.”

But these seniors aren’t the only ones who will end their illustrious careers at the state meet. Beesley will also hang up his well-used whistle after coaching track and field for 44 seasons.

Beesley was inducted into the Federal Way Public Schools Athletic Hall of Fame in February and has coached at Thomas Jef-ferson, Decatur and Federal Way during his career. But one thing missing from his already-impressive resume is a state team champion-ship, which could change over the Memorial Day

weekend at Tacoma’s Mount Tahoma High School at Star Track.

“That would be a pretty cool way to go out,” Beesley admitted.

If everything works out during the SPSL and West Central/Southwest District meets, the Eagles will enter state as the prohibitive favorite.

Federal Way’s credentials are impeccable this season. Aside from dominating the SPSL Central Division, the Eagles also won three in-vitational meet champion-ships in impressive fashion.

“This year, we’ve gone after it,” Beesley said. “In years past, we didn’t really try to win all the invitation-

al meets we entered. This year, we did.”

Federal Way won the Tacoma Invitational, the Shoreline Invitational and the prestigious title at the Oregon Relays in Eugene. The Eagles became the first team to win the Shoreline title three years in a row since the meet was started in the 1980s.

Federal Way’s main competition at the state meet should come from the east side of the moun-tains: Mead and Ferris, both out of the Greater Spokane League, as well as

Wenatchee. “We feel like we should

win state this year,” Tucker said. “We are going to give it our all. It’s kind of weird because it’s an individual sport, but we are doing it for the team. We have to sacrifice for the team. It definitely pushed us to get a first, second or third in the events.”

There is no doubting the athletic prowess of the seniors on the Eagle track team. Five of them have already inked Division-I scholarships. Tucker and Havili will play football at

Eastern Washington Uni-versity, Tate will play wide receiver at San Jose State, and McNeal will head to Fordham University in New York to play running back.

Persinger is the lone senior who will continue his track career in college at Memphis University in Tennessee.

“I want to win state in both events,” Persinger said about the 110 and 300 hurdles. “It definitely has become a goal. I guess I think about it right before I go to bed. ... It sounds nice. Real nice.”

Briefs: Jefferson wins a pair of academic state titlesBy CAsey oLson

[email protected]

Thomas Jefferson High School is the proud winner of two academic state cham-pionships, both firsts for their programs — boys golf and boys tennis.

The Raiders’ boys golf team won the title with a 3.84 cumulative grade-point average and, with no seniors on the team this year, the future looks very bright.

Individually, TJ boasts AJ Seo, a junior who will be competing at the state tourna-ment for the third time over the Memorial Day Weeekend.

The golf team includes Kyle George, Ryan Hagan, David Jang, Juhwan Eugene Kim, Seo, Ean Van Bramer, Jacob Ward and Eugene Washington.

The boys tennis team finished with a cumulative GPA of 3.76, including eight perfect 4.0’s. The Raiders have four indi-viduals competing in the state tournament — Alex Lee, Zach Martin, Cameron Martin and Alex Chan, which will run May 23-25 in Richland.

The tennis team includes Richard Ban, Chan, Hakeem Clark, Donavon Gomez, Tyler Hamashima, Lee, Cameron Martin, Zachary Martin, Abishek Murali, Alex Papke, Vivek Ramanujan and Michael Zic-carelli.

• The Sounders U-23 soccer team an-nounced the signing of Seattle University midfielder, and Sounders Academy alum, Austin Sweeney for the 2013 PDL season.

In his freshman season for the Red-hawks, Sweeney appeared in 17 games, starting 12. His first collegiate goal came during SU’s dramatic 4-3 victory over the University of Portland.

Sweeney played his high school soccer at Todd Beamer High School and he was also a member of the Sounders Academy U-16

and U-18 teams in 2011 and 2012.

“Austin Sweeney had a great academy run here with the Sounders Academy and he is part of the program at Seattle University under Pete Fewing and his staff,” said Head Coach Darren Sawatzky, a Jefferson grad

and former Raider coach. “This summer will be an extension of the academy for Austin as we watch him develop and it will be great to get him back in the Rave Green for a few months.”

Sweeney and the Sounders U-23 will face Doxa Italia on May 14 in their opening-round match in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open cup. The match is set for 7 p.m. at Sunset Stadium in Sumner. Then, they will begin their campaign to repeat as PDL Northwest Division champions when they take on the Portland Timbers U-23 in Portland on May 16.

Raiders took their first lead of the game when senior Luis Alvaro Osornio banged in a shot from way outside the goal in the 75th minute. But the Eagles struck right back when Ortiz found the net to tie the game up at 3-3 with just two min-utes remaining in the SPSL Champi-onship game.

Ortiz’s goal set the stage for Pra-do-Huerta’s late heroics, scoring the game-winner with just one minute left on the Federal Way Memorial Stadium scoreboard clock.

The Decatur baseball team is one win away from the Class 3A State Tournament. The Ga-tors (14-10) split a pair of West Central/Southwest District games earlier this week, beating Wilson Tuesday and losing to Auburn Mountainview Wednesday.

Next up for Decatur is a loser-out, winner-to-state game against Vancouver’s Mountain View High School at 1 p.m. Saturday at Tacoma’s Heidelberg Park. The winner will play again at 7 p.m. in a seeding game against the winner of a game between Shelton and Columbia River.

The Gators picked up a huge 6-1 win Tuesday in the opening round of the district tournament over Wilson. The game was a loser-out contest.

The Gators got a big two-run double from Brandon Zimmer-man in the top of the fourth in-ning to break open a scoreless tie. Decatur went on to score three runs in the fourth, one in the fifth and two more in the sixth.

Zimmerman finished 3 for 3 with two RBIs and three doubles and Taylor Havilcek was 2 for 4 with a run for the Gators. Chris Carns picked up the win on the mound. Auburn MountAinview 5, DecAtur 1

The Gators’ offense struggled

against the Lions Wednesday at Auburn Mountainview High School. The Lions’ Nick Brooks limited Decatur to only two hits on the day.

Zimmerman had the Gators’ first hit with a one-out double in the sixth inning. He scored on an RBI ground ball by Isaiah Hatch. The only other hit came from Mitch Ciotta in the seventh.

Jansen Junk pitched well and kept Decatur in the game. The Gators trailed 2-1 through five, but the Lions put the game away in the sixth with three runs. It was Auburn Mountainview’s fourth win over Decatur this season. eMerAlD riDge 5, beAMer 3

The Titans’ (14-9) had their

season ended Wednesday by the Jaguars at Art Wright Field. Emer-ald Ridge (19-5) tallied three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to get the West Central/Southwest District win.

Beamer couldn’t get anything going against Jaguar starter Kort Skoda, who allowed only five hits. Ben Arata finished 2 for 4 with a run and RBI for the Titans.

Emerald Ridge jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning, but Beamer tied it up with two runs of its own in the fourth. The Titans took the lead with a run in the top of the fifth.

The loss comes a day after the Titans tallied seven runs in the top of the first inning to beat Rog-

ers, 15-10, in a loser-out game. Beamer, who finished fourth at

the state tournament a year ago, got a huge, two-out, bases-loaded double by Lawyer Braun in the first inning. Braun, Beamer’s leadoff hitter, finished 4 for 5 with three doubles, five RBIs and two runs scored.

Beamer added five more runs in the top of the sixth inning to take a commanding 14-4 lead. But the Rams battled back to score six runs in the bottom of the inning to cut the Titans’ lead to 14-10. J.J. Asinas added an RBI single in the seventh for Beamer to finalize the score.

Jarred Prather finish 2 for 4 with a home run, two runs and three RBIs for the Titans. Scott Sunitsch picked up the win on the mound.
