EDMONDS — A familiar face will continue to steer Swedish Edmonds.

Jennifer Graves, the hospital’s interim chief executive since January, moved into the permanent CEO position on June 1. She succeeds David Jaffe, who led the campus from 2011 to 2014.

To take on the new role, Graves stepped down as chief executive and nurse execu-tive of Swedish Ballard, a joint post that she balanced with her interim appoint-ment at Swedish Edmonds.

“I have a lot of energy,” said Graves, 50, about working at both hospitals at the same time. “I’m not even a glass half-full person, I’m a glass-overflowing person.”

Graves has nearly three decades of nursing experience on her resume.

She credits this career course to her days as a candy-striper, volunteering in a hospital in Tacoma when she was a teenager.

“I fell in love with the hospital setting,” she said. “I was pretty confident that I wanted to go into nursing from a young age.”

She earned a B.S.N. from the Univer-sity of Portland in 1987 and took a job as a nurse at the University of Washington Medical Center.

From 1990 to 1995, she worked as a staff nurse at Ballard Community Hos-pital, which eventually became Swed-ish Ballard. That’s where she learned to appreciate the idea of the community hospital.

“You could really get to know your team, and you could trust your team,” she said. “When I had the chance to come back in a nurse executive role, it was one of those things where life kind of comes full circle.”

Swedish Edmonds also has a his-tory as a community hospital. Formerly known as Stevens Hospital, it joined the

five-campus system of Swedish Health Services in 2010. Swedish Edmonds has 1,400 staffers, 450 of which are physicians and specialists.

June Altaras, the chief executive of Swedish Seattle, spent four weeks at Swedish Edmonds last fall. She nomi-nated Graves for the interim position when it opened up.

“I had a good sense of the type of leader we needed to take Edmonds to the next level,” Altaras said. “We knew it was really important to place an execu-tive there who has a passion and a desire to become very involved in the commu-nity. Jennifer was absolutely proven in that ability in her role as Ballard’s chief executive.”

Like Graves, Altaras has a background in nursing. They’re not alone: Every Swedish campus is led by a chief executive with clinical experience.

“I think that’s unique that our whole system values that,” Graves said. “Having been a boots-on-the-ground nurse for a lot of years gives me an understanding of what the staff are going through.”

Sarah Zabel, vice president of oper-ations at Swedish Edmonds, can see how the hands-on experience benefits Graves.

“She has a deep knowledge of hospital operations — a nice balance of experience working in a community hospital setting but also within a much larger system,” Zabel said.

Graves arrived at Swedish Edmonds in the midst of its biggest expansion in 50 years.

The most recent project, a $63.5 mil-lion building set to open in November, will house an emergency department and a diagnostic imaging center.

The building’s original floorpan included space for urgent care, but Graves encouraged the team to rethink that deci-sion. They eventually moved the unit to the Kruger Building near the bustle of Highway 99.

Graves will also help answer the ques-tion of what to do with the new building’s 37,000-square-foot second floor.

“She’ll be the key figure in that,” Zabel said.

Besides working in the field, Graves has taught nursing at Seattle Pacific Univer-sity and Northwest University.

“I’ve been in nursing 28 years, and there has not been one day that I’ve regretted making the choice to go into healthcare,” she said. “I guess you could say it’s a calling. I feel compelled to serve our community.”

She won’t be the only new addition to the hospital.

Her 14-year-old son told her he wants to volunteer at Swedish Edmonds this summer. She made him fill out an application.

“I said, ‘You don’t get any special favors, you have to fill out the volunteer packet,’” she said. “He filled out his application and went and got references. Maybe he’ll get the bug, too.”

An internship is a great way to jump-start a career; a chance for students and recent grads to test out their skills and gain valu-able, on-the-job experience.

This has been demonstrated thoroughly at the Port of Everett. Over the years, our established internship program has re-cruited top-notch college students from various � elds of study, including communications, environmental studies, engineering, planning, information technology, records management and more.

“We � nd great value in our internship program here at the Port,” said Les Reardanz, CEO/Executive Director of the Port of Everett. “Not only does it allow us to develop our future leaders, but it also provides opportunity for the team to grow. Interns bring fresh perspective and new ideas to the table that we often times integrate into our processes.”

The Port hires two or three interns a year, typically in the sum-mer months. Interns take on daily duties and are given a project to take ownership of during their internship. Projects have included development of the Port’s Harbor Tours, and creation of an Environmental Sustainability Report.

Many interns use their experience to secure jobs right here in our community. Others enjoy their time at the Port so much, they seek employment when jobs become available and bring their skill set back to the Port team (see below).

The Everett farmer’s Market has returned for its 22nd season at the Port of Everett waterfront now thru Oct. 18.

On Sundays from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., rain or shine, the Everett farmer’s Market will fill the Port’s South Marina Promenade located at 1600 W. Marine View Drive. The 24-week market opened one week earlier than last year and is closing two weeks later to provide an extended season for its local vendors.

“We truly appreciate the broad

and generous support of local growers, value-added producers and our local artisan entrepreneurs,” Everett farmer’s Market Owners, gary Purvis and Karen Erikson said. “These hard-working business owners are community members whose efforts in their field of specialty serve to benefit the greater Everett and Snohomish County population. Know your farmer; know your food. Come meet and support your vendors this market season.”

The 2015 market is anticipated to

be the biggest yet, featuring farm fresh goodness and homemade wares from more than 80 vendors. Patrons can expect a variety of goods, ranging from locally farmed fruits and vegetables, packaged and ready to eat foods, arts and crafts, flowers and more.

A new feature to the Market this year is a nine-week Kids Place: Learn, Explore, grow Canopy starting June 21. Visit everettfarmersmarket.net.

A new study of the economic impacts of the Port of Everett found that Port operations supported 35,130 regional jobs in 2014, up 133 jobs from 2012, according to an independent analysis by Pennsylvania-based Martin Associates.

The study found the Port’s Marine Cargo and Industrial Properties support 33,376 direct, indirect and induced jobs, while the Marina and Waterfront Place support 1,753 direct, indirect and induced jobs.

“The Port continues to be a significant economic generator in the region and was able to maintain its economic contribution, despite the economic recession,” said Dr. John Martin of Martin Associates. He noted that “continued investment in port infrastructure is necessary in order for the Port to sustain and grow its economic contribution.”

Port activity also contributes: • $373 million in state and local taxes; $220.8 million was collected at the state level, and $152.2 million at the local level

• $583 million in local purchases• Personal wages and local consumption related to the port-sector increased to $3.9 billion, with the average annual salary of those directly employed by port-related businesses equating to $86,703.

In addition to regular activity, the Port of Everett has a very ambitious capital investment strategy that is designed to create additional economic opportunities and jobs for the region, Port of Everett CEO Les Reardanz said. In the next five years, the Port is expected to invest $134.2 million, $44.5 million this year alone. This construction activity will support approximately 3,300 temporary construction jobs over the next five years.

Reardanz reiterated that the Martin Associates’ findings “also show how vitally important it is that investment in our ports and landside transportation infrastructure be a high priority so that the u.S. can remain a global competitor, providing these positive

FROM COLLEGE TO CAREER

By Jim DavisThe Herald Business

Journal Editor

I f you need an example of the reach of Rick Steves, you can find it

in a shop in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany.

That’s where Craig Davidson saw firsthand the goodwill that Steves has generated over a career as a guidebook author and TV travel host.

Davidson, the new chief operating officer for Rick Steves’ Europe, was work-ing for athletic company Puma in 2005 when he traveled to Germany on a business trip.

He decided he would do some sightseeing so he went to the library and photocopied sections of one of Steves’ guidebooks.

“Yep, photocopied, I’m an accountant,” Davidson said laughing.

He and some of his friends took a walking tour suggested in the book and stopped in the shop rec-ommended by Steves.

“While I’m standing there, this woman comes up and says, ‘You have a copy of Rick’s book, you get a free map,’” Davidson recalled. “I said, ‘It’s only a photocopy. I don’t feel right getting a free map.’ She said, ‘Nope, you get a free map.’ She gave every one of us a free map.

“Then she pulled me into the backroom and showed me a picture of Rick when he was 18 years old with a big backpack on and she started telling me stories about Rick,” David-son said. “Then I had to meet her family. It was the craziest experience I ever came across.”

Add another Rick Steves devotee.

So when the job came open for the newly created position of chief operating officer, Davidson applied for it as soon as he saw it online.

Davidson, 45, joined Rick Steves’ Europe in May and aims to help run the business side of the company while Steves focuses on producing content.

Steves started his com-pany selling books out of his car. Now the privately held Rick Steves’ Europe employs 100 people and

generates $70 million a year in revenue with its guidebooks, tours, travel classes, television and radio shows and merchandise.

“It’s clear that we’re at that threshold where we’re more of a serious business and we wanted someone with serious chops to come in,” Steves said. “Somebody who has been out there and knows how to run a bigger busi-ness and Craig fit the bill perfect.”

Davidson can be the person who can help the company become more efficient and productive without losing its identity, said Rich Sorenson, who is

in charge of marketing and strategy and has worked with Steves since the early 1990s.

“I think what we were really needing in this posi-tion was someone who has been there before,” Soren-son said. “Someone who has already gone through the growth that we’re anticipating that we’re going to go through.”

Davidson is from Can-ada, born outside of Toronto. He earned a bachelor’s of commerce degree at the University of Toronto. After college he worked for a couple of large accounting firms on the auditing side of the

business.In 1999, he joined Puma

Canada, a brand that he remembered from the 1970s but he hadn’t heard of for years.

“I thought, ‘Holy cow, these guys still exist?’” Davidson said.

After a year and a half, Davidson was transferred from Canada to Puma North America headquar-ters in Boston where he spent 10 years in a variety of jobs, rising to vice pres-ident of business intelli-gence and controlling.

In spring 2010, Puma’s parent company, now known as the Kering Group, purchased Cobra

Golf from the Acushnet Co. in Fairhaven, Massa-chusetts. Puma sought an entry into the golf busi-ness, Davidson said.

“The equipment side of Cobra — golf clubs — makes you legitimate in the golf business,” he said. “So now a pro shop or whoever will carry your apparel and your clubs because you’re a golf player, otherwise you’re just an apparel guy making shirts.”

With the purchase, Puma gained the Cobra brand name and the research and development department, but little else. Davidson was sent with

the team to Carlsbad, Calif., to set up the infra-structure support for the acquisition.

“We had to put in our own system to be able to sell to customers, to ship, get our own warehouse and manufacturing facili-ties,” Davidson said.

He spent two years working in Carlsbad. And yes, spending time on the golf course.

“I was kind of a hack golfer,” Davidson said. “Until I got into the golf industry, I didn’t realize how bad I played golf.”

He met his partner, Nancy Ladwig, in a coffee shop in Southern Califor-nia: “We just started to talk in line and it migrated from there.” In Carlsbad, Davidson also obtained his American citizenship.

In 2013, Puma under-went a restructuring and Davidson followed his old boss to Puma’s corpo-rate headquarters in Her-zogenaurach, Germany, near Nuremberg. David-son took the job, in part, because it allowed him and Ladwig to see Europe.

They traveled during weekends and holidays, first in Germany and then to Belgium, France and Italy.

And they used Rick Steves’ podcasts and books. Davidson would read the guidebooks aloud as they explored new cities.

“I like to make the joke that Nancy spent two years seeing Europe and I spent two years reading about it,” Davidson said.

At Rick Steves’ Europe, Davidson isn’t being tasked to accomplish a set growth plan.

“We have no agenda,” Steves said. “We do what we do and it grows nat-urally. I’ve never had a five-year plan for growth. I’m privately held so no one is yelling at me to make more money. It’s a blessing.”

But Davidson arrives at a company that has had substantial growth for years — so much so that it’s suddenly no longer such a small business.

One area that has seen rapid growth is the tour business. Rick Steves’ Europe took 10,000 peo-ple to Europe seven years ago, said Sorenson, who’s

in charge of marketing and strategy.

This year, the company will take 20,000 people on those trips.

“Our tours are fairly expensive purchases for people, from $2,000 to $5,000 per person,” Soren-son said. “It’s important that we maintain quality and are not the least bit disorganized.”

Any company needs strong back office sup-port to handle that type of growth. A lot of that support came from office manager, Anne Kirchner, who spent 25 years at the company before retiring this spring. She was brilliant, beloved and a stabilizing force, Steves said.

With her retirement, Steves changed the posi-tion to chief operating officer to handle some of the tasks required of a larger organization, espe-cially one where the CEO — Steves — is out of the country four months of the year.

“I have a responsibility to employ 100 people well and you can’t be reckless or unprofessional when you have people planning

“I have a responsibility to employ 100 people well and you can’t be reckless or unprofessional when you have people planning

on raising their kids and paying their mortgage when they work some-where,” Steves said. “So I want to run this business smartly.”

And there’s another factor in creating the new position. Much of Rick Steves’ Europe’s senior

management is within 10 years of retirement, Soren-son said. So the future of the company is definitely top of mind.

“Twenty years ago, we all thought we would be here forever,” Sorenson said. “It doesn’t quite look like that when we’re near-

ing 60.”For Steves, the business

has been like another of his children.

“I’m 60 now,” Steves said. “I’m not going to be around here for another 30 years and I want to be able to pull back knowing things are in good hands so we’ve got to think about that.”

When Davidson inter-viewed for the job, he spoke with Steves from Germany via Skype. Steves said he saw some magic and love of life in Davidson and a delight in tackling business chal-lenges that might seem dreary.

“To me, he’s fun,” Steves said. “He gets our mis-sion. He’s smart as can be. I like somebody who enjoys entrepreneurial guerrilla capitalism and he has experience with bigger companies and he’s had experience in international business.”

And getting the mission

was a key question for the hire.

“We wanted to be really clear that we have a cul-ture that we love here and we were almost offputting or concerning to him how committed we were to our culture,” Steves said. “We didn’t want some big shot coming in and reworking us into the mold of a con-ventional corporation.”

Davidson had his own questions: “Small business. Strong personality at the lead. Will you fit or will you not fit? From the first Skype interview I had with Rick, it was pretty clear we fit.”

“Everybody thinks from corporate to here would be a great change, but there really isn’t,” David-son said. “I mean people are people. They’ve got ideas. It’s very open. It’s very friendly, which is awesome. It hasn’t been as jarring as some people might think.”

Davidson and Ladwig

moved to Edmonds, tak-ing Steves’ advice to rent before purchasing a home to learn the neighbor-hoods. By coincidence, the house they found is actu-ally next door to Steves’ house.

“We got the address and we drove by and I said, ‘I think Rick lives above us,’” Davidson said. “And that’s how it happened.”

One of the hardest parts of the career change for Davidson was leaving Europe.

“This was an awe-some opportunity at the right time and pretty well ticked every box on what I wanted to do. And my experience matched,” Davidson said. “Then on the other hand, when Nancy and I would sit and say, ‘Are we done with Europe?’ When it was decision time, ‘Do we give up Europe?’

“And it was like we don’t have to. It’s Rick Steves’ Europe. I have to go back.”


Rick Steves hopes to cede some of his work at his Rick Steves’ Europe to focus on education and content.

The future at Rick Steves’ Europe “Twenty years ago, we all thought we would be here forever. It doesn’t quite look like that when we’re nearing 60.”

Kevin Stoltz hates hearing about peo-ple getting lost or injured and dying while having adventures. He wants people to get out and explore, but he wants them to come home, too.

The former Mukilteo city councilman and his wife, Dana, own Personal Locator Beacon Rentals. The beacon is a device that, when a button is pushed, alerts a command center that someone is in need of rescue, and transmits their location.

It all started in July 2003. Dana Stoltz read a story in The Daily Herald that said personal locator beacons were being made legal for individual use. She still has the clipping, with a note on it that says “The genesis of PLBRentals.”

“It was a technology that had been around for a long time and was finally available to regular people like us,” she said.

At the time, the devices cost about $650, too much for many people to afford, especially those just heading out for the occasional weekend adventure. Dana Stoltz said she remembered reading horror stories from around that time of incidents on Mount Rainier and Mount Hood. She thought that, maybe if more people had the personal locator beacons, there would be fewer of those stories.

She handed the article to Kevin and said “Read this and figure something out.”

Kevin Stoltz called the National Oce-anic and Atmospheric Administration, which was overseeing the program. A NOAA representative was enthusias-tic. They worked together to establish a rental program. The company opened November 2003.

The rental process is simple enough. Before someone heads out, they can go online and rent a device to be mailed to them. It arrives before they leave and, when they return, they mail it back. The renters provide their emergency contact and health information to the company.

If someone activates the emergency

function, the command center will con-tact PLBRentals. Dana Stoltz carries a phone with her at all times. She can then relay any relevant information to rescu-ers. She tells them the size of the group, if anyone has health issues or any other important information. Kevin Stoltz says there has been some resistance to the device.

“There’s this belief that if people have this device, they will take unnecessary risks,” he said. “That’s not really true. I use the seat-belt analogy. Using a seat belt doesn’t make someone take unnecessary risks.” Stoltz is pleased that people are

realizing the value of the devices. They’re required, for instance, on a number of sailboat races. PLBRentals sends a num-ber of its beacons to a race in Florida.

The first rescue that PLBRentals ever had was also the first rescue ever for a rented beacon. Four teens in Olympic National Park were rescued after two fell while crossing a fast-moving creek. The other two helped rescue those who had fallen in and all ended up wet and cold.

When they started showing signs of hypothermia, they activated the rescue beacon. Rangers were able to hike into their location and treat the teens for mild hypothermia. Since that time, PLBRen-tals has had a few more rescues, including a couple of hikers in the Grand Canyon. They’ve rented out devices out for vari-ous activities, including hiking, climb-ing, fishing, boating, sled dog racing and hunting.

“They take the search out of search and rescue,” Stoltz said. “I wish there was a way to let more people know, a lot of peo-ple’s lives are being saved by these. Why take the chance?”

Smokey Point Distribution president and CEO Dan Wirkkala is looking forward to the completion of the company’s new headquarters at the Arlington Airport Industrial Park. Below is a contributed photo of the construction project.

By John WolcottFor The Herald Business Journal

ARLINGTON — A state-of-the-art steel struc-ture rising on a 16-acre site in Arlington’s air-port industrial park will be the new headquarters for Smokey Point Dis-tributing, a new chapter for a company that’s one of the nation’s most suc-cessful long-haul trucking companies.

The 50,496-square-foot building is due to open in the spring and will be more than double the size of the company’s current location at 172nd Street NE and 59th Avenue NE.

“We’ve been at our smaller site for 16 years and our business has rap-idly outgrown our space,” said President and CEO Dan Wirkkala. “We have people and trucks squeezed into many small buildings and facilities. In the new location we’ll have plenty of space for our fleet of vehicles, a large new maintenance shop, training facilities, a lunch room, drivers lounge and well-organized offices.”

He did not want to say the cost of the proj-ect other than it was in the millions. Arling-ton’s Coast Construction Group is building Smokey Point Distributing’s new headquarters.

Smokey Point Distrib-uting specializes in mov-ing a variety of freight for aerospace, construction and other industries to destinations in the U.S.

and Canada. The com-pany has more has more than 250 semi-trucks, 400 trailers, 300 drivers and a large on-site office and shop staff.

Much of Smokey Point Distributing’s success comes from its attitude about how it treats its employees, Wirkkala said.

“Our drivers are the backbone of our opera-tion. They sacrifice time away from their fami-lies, traveling as much as 125,000 miles a year, 500 to 600 miles per day, through all kinds of weather and extreme driv-ing conditions. They’re our face to our customers, too. Because it’s difficult to find drivers who want to spend so much of their life on the road we cater to them,” Wirkkala said. “As drivers gain more tenure with us, we even try to give them their choice of the make, model and color of their trucks.”

Wirkkala gained his deep respect for drivers when he worked in the operations department for many of his 30 years with the company.

Steve Sims, the compa-ny’s chief financial officer, agrees.

“We go to great lengths to support our customers,”

he said. “They trust us to move a lot of precious cargo. To do that takes great expertise. It’s the drivers who get the car-goes delivered safely.”

That attitude has resulted in many of the firm’s employees being with the company 15 to 25 years or more. Among the drivers, the company has an enviable 16 percent turnover versus an indus-try standard rate of 97 percent.

Smokey Point Dis-tributing started in 1979 when Matt Berry launched what was then called A&P International as a van-hauling business. The original business grew rap-idly after Berry landed a contract with the former Bayliner boat manufac-turer in Arlington. As it grew, the company devel-oped a safety record that led to promoting its han-dling of shipments with a new motto: “Transporting Your Precious Cargo.” The company has won the most elite award offered by Great West Casualty Co., the Platinum Safety Trophy, seven times in the last eight years for its great record on the road. “We’re a national leader in open-deck trailer diversity, accommodating special,

unusual and unique loads,” Wirkkala said.

One of the satisfied customers, Florida-based Triton Submarines, cred-its Smokey Point Dis-tributing for delivering its $3 million, two-person submarine, that took 18 months to build, in perfect condition.

Aerospace firms are also a big part of the firm’s cus-tomer roster.

Wirkkala recognizes that being part of the sup-ply chain for that industry niche is very demanding but “it aligns really well with the way we structure our business.”

To meet the needs of its national customer base, the company has devel-oped its own network of trucking terminals around the country. In 2008, Smokey Point Dis-tributing was acquired by Daseke, Inc., a growth-fo-cused transportation com-pany offering specialized trucking services through-out North America.

“When we joined Daseke, they knew we had a proven recipe for success,” Wirkkala said. “They gave us autonomy, left our management staff intact and gave us the financial resources we needed to grow.”

MUKILTEO — Tranquility is queen inside Bella Blowdry & Beauty Bar.

Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling. Clients recline in sparkling silver chairs, sipping chilled cucumber water. Blowdryers hum in the artful hands of stylists.

Bella Blowdry & Beauty Bar, which opened June 6, does not offer haircuts,

coloring or a permanent new look. Instead, Bella specializes in styling. Cli-ents get their hair dried, polished and shaped into styles that last for up to three days.

Choose from bouncy curls, beach waves or the classic smooth and shiny look.

It doesn’t matter how short, curly or unruly the hair is naturally. Bella will make it happen.

All it takes is 30 minutes.These salons are called blow-dry bars,

or dry bars for short. Bella touts itself as the first blow-dry bar in Snohomish County.

Bella owner Christine Shyka-Beasley used to commute to a dry bar as far as Bellevue for her blow-out fix.

It was in preparation for her 16-year-old daughter Elizabeth’s homecoming dance last October that Shyka-Beasley realized the need for a local blow-dry bar.

The mother of two didn’t have time to take her daughter to another county to get her hair done and figured other busy moms didn’t either.

“I just thought, why doesn’t Mukilteo have something that’s geared towards women and beauty? Why not?” Shy-ka-Beasley said.

Her personal hairstylist introduced her to people in the industry and helped her decide on which products to purchase for the dry bar.

Shyka-Beasley, a New Jersey native, is a chiropractor, life coach, personal trainer and Zumba instructor. She sees clients at her chiropractic practice one day a week and she devotes the rest of her time to Bella.

Styling Snohomish County is just one way that Shyka-Beasley is fulfilling her drive to make women feel beautiful. After years of helping women become healthy through personal training and fitness classes, a salon felt like the natural next step.

“My passion is empowering women. I’ll go wherever that takes me,” Shyka-Beas-ley said. “I want women to feel confident in themselves when they engage and par-ticipate in the world around them, and part of that confidence comes from a

polished appearance. We want everyone leaving our salon feeling ‘Bella Beautiful.’”

In the early half of the 20th Century, many American women frequented salons once a week to get their hair done, which was typically permed or set in a cloud of hairspray in those days. The trend died down when home products became available.

Now, women are returning to the salon for quick fixes. The cost of a blowout ranges from $25 to $35, depending on the desired style.

Options range from the standard blow-out to updos and braids. Other services include lash extensions, and even $15 scalp massages for men. All of Bella’s styl-ists are trained in makeup, too.

Every client receives a complimentary application of Mirabella makeup, a salon exclusive cosmetic line. Bella accommo-dates bridal parties and birthday parties for children of all ages.

Requests have been pouring in for the salon to open as early as five in the morn-ing to cater to commuters.

Bella stylist Cindra Jones is up for the challenge.

When Jones, 24, moved to Seattle from Los Angeles two years ago, she was disappointed by the scarcity of blow-dry bars in Seattle compared to her hometown.

Bella’s opening was a great professional opportunity for the curly-haired Jones, who’s relieved to have a local blow-dry bar.

“It’s very exciting to be a part of the movement up here,” said Jones.

If the convenience of the location doesn’t de-stress the modern woman, then a talented scalp massage during the shampoo, refreshing drinks and soothing Parisian cafe music just might.

Bella Blowdry & Beauty Bar is located at 10100 Mukilteo Speedway, No. 105, nestled between Starbucks, Speedway Drycleaners, and a nail salon, Serenity Nails & Spa.

With the opening of Bella, “Pamper Alley” might be a more fitting name for the Mukiteo Speedway stripmall.

Stop by to grab a latte, drop off your laundry and get polished, from head-to-toe.

EVERETT — The head of Economic Alliance S n o h o m -ish County is stepping down at the end of July to take a job with a laser-etching company in Mukilteo.

Troy McClelland has served as the first and only CEO and president for Economic Alliance, which aims to create jobs and economic vitality in the county and region.

“We would have loved to hold on to Troy as long as we can, but we under-stand he has a great busi-ness opportunity,” said Chris Knapp, Economic Alliance’s chairman of the board of trustees. McClel-land, who is also a Port of Everett commissioner, was attending the Paris Air

Show, representing Eco-nomic Alliance, and was unavailable for comment.

Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson, who sits on Economic Alliance’s executive board, called the departure a tremen-dous loss for Snohom-ish County. McClelland helped bring together people in the county and was a strong partner in convincing Boeing to build the 777X in Everett, Stephanson said.

“I think all of us knew that Troy was a very tal-ented guy and would be somebody that would be very much in demand in the private sector,” Stephanson said.

McClelland is leav-ing the organization on sound financial footing with a highly capable team, Knapp said. Chief Operations Officer John Monroe will serve as the interim CEO while the board conducts a regional and national search for McClelland’s replacement.

The board hopes to have a replacement by the end of this year.

“One of the signs that Troy has done such a phenomenal job is I think there will be a high level of interest in this position,” Knapp said.

Knapp didn’t know the name of McClelland’s new Mukilteo employer, and Monroe declined to identify the firm, deferring to the company for the announcement.

Economic Alliance formed in 2011 as a merger between three organizations: the Eco-nomic Development Council of Snohomish County, the Greater Ever-ett Chamber of Com-merce and the South Sno-homish County Chamber of Commerce.

McClelland is a former naval officer who worked as the director of corporate procurement at the Fluke Corp. in Everett when he was hired to guide the new organization.

A Mukilteo woman has combined her love of bas-ketball and her Christian faith to create athletic

apparel with a positive message.

K e l s e y Patrick, a 2009 grad-uate of K a m i a k High School, started Every

Blessed Day as a class proj-ect during her senior year at Pepperdine University.

As an advertising major, she had to develop a prod-uct and create an advertis-ing campaign for it. Her presentation received a positive response from her teachers and fellow classmates.

After graduating from college, Patrick played professional basketball in Romania. During her down time, she kept think-ing about turning Every

Blessed Day into an actual business. “I decided to try it,” she said. “I just felt ‘Why not?’”

During a trip home from Romania for the holidays, she designed

some shirts and had them printed up. When the sea-son ended, she was ready to return to Mukilteo and hit the ground running.

Her older brother, Chase, joined the com-

pany last June and the two are starting to focus on moisture-wicking active wear apparel, including a pair of basketball shorts.

Kelsey Patrick said she received offers to play pro-

fessionally again, but she declined in order to focus on the business.

“It’s hard to say no, but I’m trying to get this going and going overseas is a big commitment,” she

said. “I still dream about it sometimes.”

Every Blessed Day apparel is sold online at www.everyblessedday.com, as well as at street fairs, concerts and basket-ball tournaments around Puget Sound. Patrick said the name Every Blessed Day is a reflection of her Christian faith and her basketball experience.

“Stepping on the court is a blessing,” she said. “We try to take each day as a gift; don’t let it pass by without enjoying it and being thankful.”

Patrick is also offer-ing two youth basketball camps at Academy Sports Center in Lynnwood in July. A session for third- through eighth-graders is $180 and will be taught July 6-9; a second ses-sion for eighth- through 12th-graders is $55 and will be taught July 15-16.

Economic Alliance CEO to leave for Mukilteo job

The trio of brothers running Sunshine Market in Lynnwood, at the corner of 212th Street SW and 44th Avenue W, are serious about their fruits and vegetables.

They stand behind their products, sup-port local farmers and try to be there for their customers nearly every day of the year, 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays and until 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, said Noor Almtowaq, 29.

He’s the eldest brother and the driving force behind the purchase of the stand, which they opened in September 2013.

“Noor’s the heart of the entire busi-ness,” said 26-year-old Alex.

Yet Noor now works at Microsoft, find-ing time mainly on weekends and some nights for Sunshine Market, and it’s Alex who’s hooked on produce.

“He has so much passion for the busi-ness,” said younger brother Josh, 22. “It’s like he fell in love with produce.”

Alex agreed and said he’s not likely to fall out of love anytime soon either. In fact, he’s searching for a site for a second, bigger store where he can expand the selection.

He dreams of a string of stores offering both conventional and organic produce. He said there’s a science to understanding how fruits and vegetables work — “for example, potatoes hate light, bananas love heat, asparagus loves water” — and in understanding how to sell produce.

“When you put tomatoes, basil, egg-plants and ginger next to each other,” he said, “it’s a guarantee you’re going to sell them all.”

He’s always been interested in how things work. Younger brother Josh said Alex was the kind of kid who was forever taking things apart and putting them back together. He studied at Edmonds Com-munity College and earned an engineer-ing degree from the University of Wash-ington, because he wanted to understand the technology behind materials like concrete.

“I’m an inventor and my imagination was limited because I didn’t understand the materials, so it limited me,” Alex said.

The brothers didn’t start out planning to go into the produce business.

“I didn’t even know what cilantro was, to be honest,” Josh said.

Prodded by Noor, they were just look-ing for a business. And they liked the Lynnwood location. Perched on a hilltop at a busy intersection with three corners anchored in Mountlake Terrace, the site overlooks a Lynnwood business district and streets leading to the Alderwood Mall and I-5.

It’s housed a produce stand at various times in the past, as well as a coffee stand, sometimes both at once. But there were few, if any, improvements to the building and nothing seemed to last for long. That changed when the Almtowaq brothers took over the site. It was Alex who almost singlehandedly rebuilt the building. He redid the electrical and plumbing, built the shelves and an awning for shade. At first, they didn’t have proper coolers and their produce wasn’t being sprayed with

water to keep it fresh. So Alex installed coolers and bought the software for a state-of-the-art sprinkler system.

“My spinach now lasts two weeks,” he said. “I won’t leave it in the store two weeks, but it lasts two weeks. When I first opened, I couldn’t even get it to last three days.”

Customer Kainitra Crammer, who lives in Bothell but works near Sunshine Market, said she loves the freshness of the produce. She can put it in her fruit bowl and it won’t attract fruit flies because it’s not spoiling right away, she said.

“It’s not the grocery store’s produce,” she said, “and you can clearly tell, because of the way it lasts.”

The brothers order from independent local farmers and smaller outfits like Peterson Fruit Co., a family-owned busi-ness in Mukilteo. Often it’s a customer request that brings a new product into the store. That’s how the brothers started car-rying raw milk from Jackie’s Jersey Milk in Bellingham. They started out selling 18

bottles a week and now sell 90.They also sell fresh goat milk, which

is even harder to find; theirs comes from Lucky Hook Farm in Moses Lake.

“People drive from like, Arlington and stuff, just to come buy it,” Josh said.

They also sell organic eggs from Stiebrs Farms in Yelm, fresh every three days, he said. And duck eggs, which he described as “a very rich egg” beloved by Asians.

Another big seller is their raw honey, purchased from a beekeeper with 46 bee-hives ranging from Mill Creek to Walla Walla, Josh said.

“It is like, the best honey out there,” he said, adding, “We believe 110 percent in our honey.”

There are also familiar items like choc-olate milk from Twin Brooks Cream-ery in Lynden, coconut water, Bulgarian feta cheese and Beechers Cheese. Other jarred and canned products give a nod to the brothers’ Middle Eastern roots. There’s olive oil from Lebanon and Tuni-sia, coriander from Pakistan, Turkish figs,

dolmas and cornichons, tahini paste and dates.

Although they consider themselves Americans, the brothers fled with their family from Iraq in 1992, in the wake of the first Gulf War. Aided by Red Cross and United Nations workers after cross-ing into Saudi Arabia, the Almtowaqs made their way to Washington state, living in Everett for a time and then Lynnwood.

His family history may explain in part why Alex has studied philosophy and his-tory and seems just as prone to discussing Plato, Socrates and Galileo as he is to talking produce.

Retired media-arts teacher Claire Beach, of Edmonds, called Alex’s impas-sioned explanations his “TED talks,” referring to the short, powerful talks made popular by the Technology, Enter-tainment and Design conferences.

She chatted with Alex on a recent visit, but that didn’t distract her from the pro-duce. She’s been following an anti-in-flammatory diet, including cutting down on carbs, and has lost 40 pounds and regained her vigor, she said.

“This is the first time in my life I’m eating what my body wants,” said Beach, adding that she grew up in the South. “I was raised in Betty Crocker Land.”

Customers like Beach are inspiring, Alex said.

“When people come back and they tell you they feel better, healthier, stronger — it’s a good feeling,” he said. “It keeps you going.”

He could be making a lot more money as an engineer, but said he doesn’t like sit-ting behind a desk.

“Engineering is a hobby,” he said. “It’s something I do because I love it.

“But selling produce is different. You’re selling something that feeds the entire world.”

Falling for fruits and vegetables

BOTHELL — When Bryan Alvarez goes upstairs and turns on his micro-phone, pro wrestling fans around the world listen.

Alvarez is the host of Wrestling Observer Live, a two-hour radio show that he produces in his home studio. It plays weekdays on hundreds of stations and Sundays on Sirius XM.

On one Sunday afternoon in May, Alva-rez plopped in front of a computer screen and chatted with co-host Mike Semper-vive, who was on the line from Delaware. That night was the WWE Elimination Chamber, a pay-per-view wrestling match featuring the biggest name in the sport, John Cena.

Alvarez and Sempervive were trying to predict how Cena’s match would end. Would he get pinned? Powerbombed? Disqualified?

Alvarez took calls throughout the show, bantering with an eccentric batch of lis-teners from California to Wisconsin to India. All of them were men, and they didn’t sound young.

“Your general wrestling fan is a lot like me,” said Alvarez, 40. “There was a really hot period for wrestling in the mid-90s, and a lot of kids grew up watching it in the ‘80s. When I was 21, the average wrestling fan was 21.”

Wrestling Observer Live is distributed by Sports Byline USA, a 24/7 radio net-work that estimates a total audience of 5 million listeners per week.

“There’s no other show I’m aware of that has the audience that Bryan has,” said Darren Peck, president of Sports Byline USA. “I can’t imagine there would be one with the platforms and the reach he’s achieved.”

Many of the show’s listeners are regu-lars at Figure Four Online, a website that Alvarez runs with wrestling and MMA journalist Dave Meltzer. The site, which charges $10.99 a month for a package of podcasts and a members-only message board. Alvarez declined to say the num-ber of subscribers, but said they had more than 1 million page views from 220,000 unique visitors in May.

Alvarez is more than just a fan. He wrestled professionally throughout the Northwest under the name ”Chico” in the 2000s. “I didn’t like that name,” he said. “But that’s all anybody would chant.”

His fascination with the sport started in childhood. At 11, he and his friends put couch cushions on the floor and video-taped themselves as they grappled. By 16, he started coaching gymnastics and wres-tled in the studio during off-hours.

“Once we discovered the spring floor, it was on,” he said. “Foam pit, crash pads. We put the balance beams in a square, and that was our ring. ”

They called themselves the Youth Wrestling Foundation. They won a lot-tery spot on Seattle’s Public Access Chan-nel and broadcast their own matches weekly from 1993 to 1995. Alvarez made a newsletter for their fans, and when the show ended, he started sending them a

newsletter about professional wrestling. He called it Figure Four Weekly and asked for $40 a year for a subscription. It was 1995, and he was 19.

A couple of years later, he started work-ing as a referee at local wrestling shows. One day a guy didn’t show up, so he stepped in to take his place.

“It was absolutely the most horrible match you ever saw. Complete disaster,” he said. “When it was over they said, ‘Hey, wanna wrestle again?’”

So he wrestled again, and again, and again. From British Columbia to Ever-ett, Seattle to Tacoma, Portland to Eugene. He did the early shows for free. Then he worked his way up to $20 a night. It barely paid for his gas and his meal.

“But it was still something,” he said. “And I was lucky. Vinny, my co-host on the podcast, I don’t know if he ever got paid.”

Vinny, known as Vinny V in the ring and Vincent Verhei out of it, now writes for Figure Four Online and co-hosts a podcast called the “Bryan and Vinny Show” three times a week.

A handful of regional wrestlers made decent money, but Alvarez wasn’t one of them. Instead, he started a 900 number, charging callers 99 cents a minute to hear the latest wrestling news. The first month brought in $2,000 — $1,200 for the 900 provider and $800 for Alvarez. He

thought he had it made. But there was a catch: You couldn’t prevent children from calling. His big money month? It was one kid. He even knew who it was. When the kid’s parents refused to pay, Alvarez was told he owed the 900 provider the out-standing $1,200.

“I was like, ‘I can’t pay this bill, I’m doomed,’” he said. “So my grandmother called the 900 provider. She didn’t say she was my attorney, but she said ‘I’m repre-senting Bryan Alvarez,’ and she went back and forth with them. Finally they said I didn’t owe anything and shut down the line.”

That’s when Alvarez started working with his website partner Meltzer, who published a popular wrestling newsletter and ran his own successful 900 hotline.

He hired Alvarez to take calls for him, and when he got an offer to do a show for the Internet radio network eYada in 1999, he recruited Alvarez to be his co-host. They called it Wrestling Observer Live.

Alvarez worked for free for the first year and a half. The show moved to the Sports Byline USA network in 2002 and found a Sunday spot on Sirius when the satellite radio platform launched in 2006. The next year, Meltzer got hired by Yahoo! and was replaced by current co-host Mike Sempervive.

Meanwhile, Alvarez had moved his newsletter online. He merged it with Meltzer’s newsletter in 2008 to create

what is now Figure Four Online. The site uploads eight new podcasts a week, and they’re not all about wrestling. One podcast, “After Dark,” explores the paranormal.

These days Alvarez still keeps a side job as an instructor at Evergreen Karate and Jiu Jitsu in Bothell. His wife, Whit-ney Neugebauer, also teaches there. Her thoughts on her husband’s wrestling mania?

“People ask me that a lot. I’ve never found a go-to answer,” Neugebauer said. “It’s fine, everyone likes their own stuff. I like my own stuff. I’m really into whales.”

After signing off from the Sunday night show in May, Alvarez descended a stair-case and joined two friends watching the pay-per-view in his living room: Vincent Verhei, his co-host on a recap podcast later in the night, and Matthew Burrill, a subscriber to the website.

As the matches played out, Alvarez tweeted about the action and took notes on his laptop. He was a long way from diving through rings for gas money and volunteering as a radio host. Now wres-tling junkies around the world had given him a career. After so many years, it paid to be more than a fan.

By John WolcottFor The Herald Business Journal

If it seems that the staff at Dr. Don Koontz’ North Creek Dental Care in south Everett is like a happy family, there’s a reason for that — two of his staff are his sisters.

“One of the hygienists, my sister Susan Lee, has been working with me four years,” Dr. Koontz said. “And my other sister, Mollie Wilson, has been working with me as my receptionist for about the same time. My brother, Mark, is an attorney in Port Orchard and my parents, Don and Kay Koontz, live in Mukilteo.”

Although Susan Lee said many patients have told her they could never work with siblings, “it work for us ... Don does amazing clinical work and is every gener-ous with his whole staff...He really values my input with patient care, too...I truly enjoy working with him because of our friendship and his excellent reputation as a dentist.”

Mollie Wilson joined the business as her brother’s office receptionist when he moved into his new building a few years ago, built on the same site where he’s had his dental office for 23 years, at 12806 3rd Ave. SE, only one block east of I-5.

“In his new office he needed more help with answering phones,” she said. “Fortu-nately for me, his practice continued to grow and I started working more hours as his receptionist. I love working with Don

because he treats every patient with care and respect and treats his entire staff like family.”

And it’s not just his family who praise Dr. Koontz. Seattle Met magazine’s peer ranking survey by dentists in the Greater Seattle area has placed him among the region’s top dental physicians in both 2014 and 2015.

“A dentist is just one person,” he said. “I’m grateful for our staff here. They really make people feel welcome. As for

my sisters, they put up with me and we all have a good relationship. I think we make it work well.”

He’s helped by a wide array of the lat-est technology, including digital X-rays, a vast improvement over the old film methods. He also uses Cerec CAD/CAM technology that allows him to do most restorative procedures in a single day. But he focuses on the personal.

“I listen to each patient’s needs and desires and make them feel comfortable

in a welcoming atmosphere. I see my role as an educator, too, informing and build-ing trust. I think about what I’d want to know and how I’d want to be treated if it was my tooth, or my wife’s,” he said.

One of his specialties is child dentistry, assisted by his stuffed dog puppet, Astro, who lets kids brush his teeth as they learn about good dental hygiene. He also pro-vides headsets and iPads filled with mov-ies for entertainment while he’s doing dental work.

There are also wall-mounted wide-screen television screens throughout his new building, including his waiting room with an aquarium filled with fascinating fish.

Koontz was born in Southern Califor-nia, grew up in Vancouver, Wash., met his wife, Lisa, at Pepperdine University in California, then graduated from the University of Washington Dental School. Married more than 25 years, they have four children — Sophia, 12, Christian, 13, Isabella, 16, and Gabriella, 22.

He and his staff work with Medical Teams International to provide services to low-income patients who can’t afford dental work. Gold Creek Church in Sno-homish contracts for use of a van that serves as a mobile dental clinic that trav-els to the Everett Gospel Mission and a Domestic Violence Shelter in Everett.

T here are literally thousands of apps available for your Android and iOS (Apple) devices.

The number of apps for Windows phone is rapidly growing as well. It can be really tough to sort through all these apps to find the ones that will make your life easier.

I’m hoping to help you find some that will make you more organized and pro-ductive. From time to time I will publish a few of my favorites. Let’s start with my top three “must have” apps.

■ Wunderlist (wunderlist.com) is a great tool for orga-nizing your to- do list(s). It allows you to create tasks complete with sub tasks.

You can then put tasks into folders. You can set due dates as well as pri-oritize your most important tasks.

You can even assign tasks to other peo-ple. Need to attach a document, photo or link to a task? No problem.

The basic app is free, and should be plenty for most of us.

But for $5/month you can beef it up to meet the needs of pretty much any organization. (Android, Chromebook, iOS, Windows Phone, Windows 7 & 8, Mac OS X, and Web).

■ Waze (waze.com) is — in my opinion — the most amazing and useful free navigation app out there.

It uses social networking to help you get from point A to point B with mini-mum hassle.

The app allows users to report slow traffic. construction, accidents, stalled vehicles and even police activity.

This information is displayed to you and used to help you find the quickest route to your destination. (Android, iOS and Windows Phone)

■ Sunrise (sunrise.am) gives you the power to access, sync and share calendars across multiple platforms. This free app connects to Google Calendar, iCal and Exchange servers and combines multi-ple calendars into a single easy-to-read display.

Where this app really shines is the intuitive interface on your mobile device.

It’s not the fanciest or most feature-rich calendar app, but it does exactly what a calendar app is supposed to do.

No fuss, no hassle. (Android, iOS and Mac OS X)

■ MileIQ (mileiq.com) records your vehicle mileage. I love it because I’m horrible about logging my business trips.

This app, while not totally free (you need to subscribe for $6/month or $60/year for advanced features), it is worth the investment.

It works in the background and tracks your start and endpoints using the GPS feature of your device and saves this info on a secure website.

You can then classify the mileage as business or personal.

You can name destinations you fre-quent, and can record mileage associated with multiple vehicles. Check with your accountant — you may even be able to deduct the cost of the full app. (Android and iOS)

Have you got a favorite app? Post it on my Facebook page or email me.

O ne of our col-lege-age sons flew home for

summer break last month and we squeezed out a few days together for just the two of us to catch up. Somewhere on our road trip he began to update me on what he’s studying and doing in the labs and classrooms at his uni-versity. Long drives are good for father-son talks.

He touched on every-thing from international politics to how he and a college buddy might launch a business right after they graduate in the solar-energy industry.

His optimism about the future was refreshing and indicative of this great group of young people now entering adulthood.

On global warming, he was convinced we’d find a solution to that and begin reversing the warming trend in the next 10 years.

“Lots of people work-ing on that one. It’s just a big chemistry problem.”

On poverty, he described how clean water may do more to lift people out of poverty than any-thing else we can do.

“If we can get the price point on desalination down a bit, we can irrigate the Sahara and other arid places that’ll help a lot of people. They’re close.”

On war, he also sees a tie to poverty and faith.

“When young people see no future, they’ll try to improve their situation. If we can help make their lives better where they are and they can see hope, their incentive changes. Poverty breeds unrest.”

On politics, he likes balance.

“You need everyone’s ideas in the room to develop good policy.”

The pace with which technology is created and then improved upon is built into the DNA of these younger Americans.

So it makes sense that his generation might see problems that look big to us but which to them seem infinitely solvable.

He admits that some problems, like cancer, may take longer.

But he still thinks they can be solved.

“Now that we’ve mapped the human genome,” he suggested, “we’ll soon talk about cancer like you guys talk about polio, Dad.”

Of course, I had to give him the speech about life’s trials and challenges.

“I know” he responded. “My generation isn’t walk-

ing into Vietnam or World War II. We know we are getting a good start. We want to make our mark, though. It’s up to us to solve the problems we’ve inherited, whatever they might be.”

He’s typical of many of the younger people I engage with at univer-sities across the country through speeches I’ve

been invited to give on entrepreneurship or when I am recruiting for posi-tions in our business.

This generation is full of problem-solvers, adept at technology and filled with a spirit of entrepreneurism and connectedness.

It’s contagious and exciting to be around.

Many of them are home

for summer now. Spend some time with

them. It’ll leave you feeling a little better about the future of our great country.

Make the most of your limited timeS tart Multitasking.

Wait, What?Am I really

suggesting that you start multitasking? OK, I confess, I’m actually going to encourage you to start background tasking. Multitasking isn’t even a real thing, but it’s a term most people are familiar with.

When we “multitask” our brains are actually switch tasking or mov-ing very quickly between two different activi-ties. When this happens, there’s a good chance we’ll make a mistake or for-get something because neither task has our full attention.

Multitasking is inef-ficient but background tasking is not. Background tasking allows you to do two things at one time that are not competing for your brain power and focus. This is a strategy that will allow you to get more done each day. Who doesn’t want to get more done each day?

To get you thinking, here are some examples of tasks that you can manage successfully at the same time:

■ Listen to a podcast while getting ready in the morning. From making a hot cup of coffee to comb-ing your hair, you can start your day listening to great information for business

or pleasure.■ Check social media

sites while waiting for an appointment. Take advantage of downtime by checking in and posting to personal and professional sites.

■ Read while walk-ing on the treadmill.

You may not maximize your workout this way, but you can knock out some reading during a less strenuous workout.

■ Go for a walk with a friend and chat. Instead of walk-ing alone and spending time chatting on the phone later, get together with a friend for a walk

or a workout. ■ Listen to YouTube

business episodes or podcasts while on a run. Get the information that you’ve been meaning to listen to without having to sit at your desk.

■ Listen to an audio book while driving. When you have a book in your hand, that’s really all that you can focus on in that moment. If you listen to a book while you’re driving, you can glean great infor-mation and possibly even enjoy your commute.

■ Watch your favorite TV show while exercising. It’s tempting to sit down to our shows after a long day to unwind. When we’re tired, it’s easy for our exercise plans to go right

out the window. Watch your show while you’re on the treadmill or at least do some stretching exercises and you’ll feel better for it.

■ Listen to music while you work. You can make a dull project a little bit more fun if you have music that you love play-ing in the background.

■ Print documents while you’re working on a project. Kill two birds

with one stone by firing up your printer to run some copies while you use your brain power to work on something more meaningful.

Just for a little reminder, here’s a short list of tasks that you shouldn’t try to complete at the same time. If you do, you may miss important information or make a mistake.

■ Typing an email

while doing an Internet search.

■ Writing a blog post while talking on the phone.

■ Working and talking to a co-worker.

■ Listening to a podcast while creating invoices.

Don’t divide your atten-tion with competing tasks. Instead, look for tasks that complement each other that you can complete

them at the same time. Retrain yourself to look for ways to background task before going on auto-matic pilot.

You can accomplish this by asking yourself, “Could I do this task while I’m doing something else?” Be careful to make sure you’re not pulling yourself in two different directions by slipping into the habit of multitasking.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

EVERETT — Klein Honda owner Steve Klein was named the Robert P. Mallon Dealer of the Year in May at the Washington State Auto Dealers Associ-ation annual convention.

Klein was recognized for his contributions to

the auto industry, quality of his deal-ership and outstanding community service. He was selected for the

award by a committee of his peers.

At the convention in Hawaii, the association announced that it gave $1,000 contribution in Klein’s honor to the Providence General Foundation.

EVERETT — Rock Peterson of Brien Ford, Everett, was named 2015-16 president of the Wash-

worked his way up into management, and then learned that Brien Medler, owner of Brien Motors in Everett, wanted to retire slowly over the next five year years and was looking for a buy-in partner.

Early on, there were some tough years with a poor economy and a long mechanic’s strike in 1981, but Peterson completed the purchase in 1986.

Peterson will celebrate 45 years at Brien Ford in the same location, 5200 Evergreen Way, this year.

That’s why we share the best ideas from across all of our branches and local communities with one goal in mind: to serve our customers better every day. By sharing our strengths, we’re able to offer customers like Mike Morse—and you—more than a community bank. But rather, a community oƒ banks.
