Out of the house early Saturday morning and off to visit Uncle. He needed a ride to an ur-

gent care clinic for a thing on the back of his hand that would not heal. That went okay. He got a pre-scription for an antibiotic (which an old time doc-tor once told me should really be called “antimi-crobial.”) So we went to Bartells and got the drugs.

He is 83. I told him on the way back to his place about stumbling on a radio station that proclaims it plays songs especially for “boomers.’” Since I am one, I enjoyed listening to music that was popular in the ’60s, ’70s, and a little of the ’80s.

It took a minute for me to understand that this radio station is a business that is tailored for a specific audience. I know this is not a new con-cept. But mostly I listen to news radio and a little talk radio. They don’t play music.

Last week, I was riding in a van where the radio was tuned to KJR. But it was FM. The old station, when Pat O’Day and others held forth there in the ’60s and ’70s, was on Harbor Island. And that was the hot station for young boomers then. Now, they are playing music that appeals to the same audience that has either no hair or white hair (for the men, purple for the women). And I heard the familiar voice of Marty Riemer, a Westside guy,

on the mic. You might remember him on The Mountain, where he had a popular show until a few years ago.

I am not sure whether I felt good about being reminded of the passage of time when I heard “Wake Up Little Suzy” the other day. But I know I am not alone. Otherwise, that radio station could not keep broadcasting. Until all the boomers are gone, they will have an audience.

Burt Ward, a Burien subscriber, called to sug-gest that the football players who Trump called “sons of bitches” get together at a game with their mothers standing behind them and ask “if these are the bitches you are talking about?”

Burt, you get the award of the week for best comment.

I think we should put out an APB (All Points Bulletin) to find the inventor of the credit card “chip,” that weird little symbol on many credit cards that you are obligated to use at many stores. When we find him or her, we should drench them with Hersey’s chocolate syrup (the kind containing high fructose corn syrup) and tie them up near an ant hill.

I’ve seen people fall asleep at Safeway waiting for their card to be verified. I can think of no ben-efit to the user of this irksome feature. We should band together, along with store clerks, to rid our lives of this dumb idea. The only possible benefi-ciary for this change is to the people who make the credit card machines.

Last week, while attempting to get “Brittany” at Safeway to join my cause, the lag time seemed ex-tra long. “Brittany” apparently has been instruct-ed by the store manager to make small talk with customers while they wait for the dim-brained credit card thing to respond.

She asked me if I had any plans for the week-end. I told her I was going down to the dump to shoot rats with a .22. She said “Wow! We used to do that. It’s really fun.”

I give up.

The Seattle Department of Transportation has released their final design for the $20 mil-lion Fauntleroy Way S.W. Boulevard project with construction set to begin in early 2018.Final design

Throughout the design process, we’ve been committed to improving mobility on Fauntleroy Way S.W. for all users—people who walk, bike, and drive. The final design

includes two lanes of traffic in each direction on Fauntleroy Way, as we have today, with new sidewalks and crosswalks, a protected bike lane, traffic signal revisions to improve flow, landscaping improvements and more.

Read more about the final design online at www.seattle.gov/transportation/Fauntle-royWySWBlvd.htm.

Based on technical analysis and input

from the community, we have incorporated into the final design a 2-way left-turn break in the median near 37th Ave S.W., while maintaining the traffic calming effects of the landscaped center median. You can read the full summary of public feedback about this design change online.Next steps

Construction of the Fauntleroy Bou-

levard Project is currently anticipated to begin as soon as early 2018. This fall, we’ll begin pre-construction outreach, includ-ing sharing more information about traffic routing during construction.

By Lindsay PeytonFrom his office at the Sea-Tac Interna-

tional Airport, Aviation Director Lance Lyttle can watch as construction progresses on the airfield.

This isn’t his first rodeo. Before assuming his current post at Sea-

Tac two years ago, Lyttle served as chief op-erating officer for Houston’s three airports where he led a multi-year strategic devel-opment plan with capital budgets exceed-ing $3 billion. He was also a major player in a $6 billion development program in Atlanta.

Still, Lyttle admits the major renovation at Sea-Tac is challenging.

“This airport has been the fastest grow-ing in the country for the past three years,” Lyttle said. “We have a very small footprint. We have to keep growing, because the pop-ulation is growing.”

In 2015, the airport served more than 42 million passengers. By 2034, studies fore-cast that about 66 million passengers will be using the airport each year.

By that time, Sea-Tac hopes to add 35 ad-ditional gates to its current 88, as well as 16 more international gates.

In addition, the airport has older facili-ties that needed to be brought up to date, Lyttle said.

“If you go to the South Satellite, you’re basically going to the 1970s,” Lyttle said. “The plan is to get every facility up to ser-vice standards.”

The North Satellite, which is 45 years old, will also be expanded and renovated. Lyttle said the first phase of construction should be complete by 2019 and the second phase by 2021.

The $550 million expansion will include adding eight new gates with a 240-foot ex-tension of the building to the west, as well as an upper level mezzanine, which will more than double the existing dining and retail square footage. A rooftop Alaska Air-lines lounge will provide travelers views of the Olympic Mountains.

The Port of Seattle also has broken ground on a $766 million new and expand-ed International Arrivals Facility.

“There’s a tremendous growth of inter-national passengers at Sea-Tac,” Jeffrey Brown, director of aviation facilities and capital projects, said. “The existing facili-ty has outgrown its useful life in terms of structure and ability to serve passengers.”

The South Satellite has been handling the international traffic. Originally designed to serve 1,200 passengers per hour, the facility is now processing about 1,960 per hour.

“It’s really cramped,” Brown said. “Be-

cause we can’t process the amount of pas-sengers, sometimes we have to hold them in the plane.”

After an international flight, an addition-al hour or two on the runway can be gruel-ing, he added.

“It’s not the level of service we want to provide,” Brown said.

Construction crews have already broken ground on the new facility and are current-ly working on preparing the foundation.

The Port is following a progressive-design build model, which contracts the same com-pany to both design and build the facility.

“It’s more fast track,” Brown said. “It’s more schedule-driven.”

Speed is essential when dealing with the demand international travel has, he ex-plained.

The new facility will connect to the ex-isting airport with an aerial, pedestrian bridge, eliminating the need to take a train through the airport.

The walkway will be built on site and then transported and installed in one day, Brown said.

“We think it’s going to be iconic,” he said.Glass walls will provide views of the sur-

roundings to international travelers. Brown said a similar structure is housed in Lon-don’s Gatwick Airport.

Brown added that eight domestic gates at the airport will be converted to “swing gates,” which will be able to accommodate international flights as well.

“It’s going to give us more flexibility,” he said.

New technology will help process pas-sengers faster, including “Automated Pass-

port Control,” “Mobile Passport Control, and Global Entry.

“It’s going to be a state of the art, modern facility,” Brown said. “We’ll have more vol-ume and make it more seamless.”

He is also making plans for art installa-tions in the new space. One artist will be se-lected who exhibits international flair and another who has a Northwest feel.

Lyttle said international arrivals will also gain double the space for baggage claim.

“We’re doing everything we can to make the experience in international arrivals bet-ter,” he said.

SeaTac will gain additional retail and restaurants in the Central Terminal. “Of course you have to go through growing pains, but it’s going to look spectacular,” Lyttle said.

At the same time, Lyttle said the airport has to balance its growth with its effects on the community.

“Passengers want options, airplanes want more options, but then there’s the commu-nity,” he said. “We have to be considerate of the impacts on them.”

The Port has created an airport adviso-ry roundtable with various stakeholders, including city managers, airlines, the Fed-eral Aviation Administration and nearby residents.

“If we get everybody in the same group, there are a lot of issues we can address,” Lyttle said. “I don’t think it will be easy, but this is the best way to do it.”

He expects to get the group up and run-ning by next year. For more information about the renovation projects at the airport, visit www.portseattle.org.

From left to right, Senior Deputy Executive Fred Jarrett, Sheriff John Urquhart, Seattle’s Director of Homelessness George Scarola and King County Councilmember Joe McDermott.

By Gwen DavisOn Thursday evening, the North

Highline Unincorporated Area Council (NHUAC) hosted a town hall style meet-ing with a high-powered panel of top King County leaders to discuss one of the most vexing issues in the area: homelessness, particularly concerns about Camp Second Chance on Myers Way S. The event was an opportunity for community members to express frustrations to officials about the camp, as well as hear thoughts about Seat-tle’s efforts tackling its confounding home-lessness crisis.

The panel consisted of King County Councilmember Joe McDermott, Sher-iff John Urquhart, Senior Deputy County Executive Fred Jarrett, Seattle’s Director of Homelessness George Scarola and Low Income Housing Institute HMIS Agency Administrator Arthur Warmoth. 

“Tonight we’re going to to focus on issues many folks who live on Myers Way have on homeless encampments and Camp Second Chance,” the facilitator began.

Scarola gave attendees an update of Camp Second Chance: “The camp would be officially open from a city perspective in February,” he said. “It seems to us to be running pretty well. There was a glitch in management that is still being worked out... In all, [it] continues to run smooth-ly, people are safe… in general, we think it’s working if not perfectly, well enough.”

However, Scarola’s update was not re-ceived well by attendees. People accused him of flatly not knowing what was going on in Camp Second Chance.

An attendee said, “I couldn’t disagree with you more... Camp Second Chance is in a state of implosion, it’s falling apart, it’s structure is disintegrating, they are calling the police department regularly for re-sponse, a police car and fire truck was seen recently, this is becoming a regular thing,” the participant said. “There are reports of

King County leaders reflect on Camp Second Chance and Seattle’s homelessness crisis

violence, drug use, we’re finding out that they are not reporting criminal activity un-less it’s happening within their camp. The list goes on and on.”

People were particularly concerned about waste being dumped in nearby wet-lands that was polluting the watershed. People experiencing homelessness were also reportedly living in the nearby woods. Additionally, there was a vacant house in the area that some people from the camp were inhabiting.”

Urquhart addressed those issues.“We’ll deal with [the vacant house],” he

said. “It may mean putting pressure on the bank, if it’s bank owned. If they’re living in the woods, not a whole lot we can do about that. Can’t prosecute unless there’s a victim.” 

But Urquhart said they could possibly find out who owns parts of the woods and then can prosecute people for trespassing.

One attendee said there was a body re-cently found in the woods, and that she’s experienced a lot of personal stress with the encampment. 

“I’m a case manager,” she said. “I deeply care about the homeless issue more than most. But the problem I see is—it’s creat-ed more bad elements, now anyone can be homeless in this area. I don’t feel safe driving around there. The police are always there. I’m always thinking, ‘what’s going on today?’ We didn’t have this volume of prob-lems before the encampment was there.”

She also asked if people were transition-ing to stable housing. 

McDermott discussed the county’s efforts to address the homelessness crisis from a broader standpoint, which is complex.

“We need rent assistance,” he said. “Pro-viding support so people can stay in their homes… We’re trying to put the pieces to-gether that we have at our disposal. We have seniors being priced out of their homes, veterans who have PTSD issues, domestic violence victims, people who are addicted

to opioids, LGBTQ individuals. We need to preserve affordable housing and build more affordable housing, too.” 

One of the efforts the city passed helped prevent homelessness for youth and their families. 

“We’ve figured out how to move peo-ple if we had the place to move them to,” Scarola said. “That’s the thing—finding more places. We are making a difference but unfortunately we are up against a lot of trends. I’d guess we could house 90 per-cent of the people who are homeless. We know how to do it. The issue is, where?”

Panelists discussed the state’s regressive tax structure, and how not having an in-come tax continually keeps their hands tied to secure needed mental health re-sources. They also noted that there’s now Republican support from Eastern Wash-ington to have progressive taxation but the state constitution—which was devel-oped for a 19th century economy—is hard to change.  

One attendee said Camp Second Chance was actually doing okay, despite negative

reports earlier in the meeting.“It is true that the transition is not

smooth, but we are not imploding,” she said. “There are challenges going on in the camp but it’s not going to implode— there’s a lot of people who won’t let it happen.”

She then addressed the crowd: “If you’re concerned about that, please come to the advisory meetings, come to the camp, instead of taking in information that’s through the grapevine that’s not always accurate.”

One participant told his personal story to the audience about how his dad was a heroine addict, and growing up he dealt with so much shame because of how people hate on drug addicts. He said that shame is toxic and does nothing to help the situa-tion, it just keeps people from getting help, making everything worse. His story was met with vigorous applause.

Scarola acknowledged that he has not been as involved with Camp Second Chance as he should, and pledged to visit the camp regularly and stay on top of its day-to-day activities.

The leaders of both CHI Franciscan Health and City MD on Fauntleroy Way S.W. celebrated the opening of the urgent care line of clinics on Mon., Oct. 2 with a ribbon cutting.

City MD opens urgent care clinic here

By Patrick RobinsonThe demand for health care, and afford-

able health care (not to mention health in-surance) is among the hottest issues in the nation and even as the demand for health care has increased, the cost of building new hospitals has gone through the roof. But do you need a hospital for most health care is-sues? The answer according to City MD is decidedly no. 

The Grand Opening of City MD at 4755 Fauntleroy Way S.W. in the Whittaker com-plex marks the fourth in the greater Seattle area. They are partners with CHI Franciscan Health. The other locations are in Ravenna,

Kent and Federal Way.According to Dr. Joseph Passanante, Se-

nior Vice President of Medical Operations - Northwest Region for City MD, they see “just under  1.5  million patients a year” in their 75 locations, primarily in New York and New Jersey and of those patients only 2 to 5 percent need greater care than City MD can provide. That means for the vast major-ity of simple health care issues, facilities like City MD can provide a valuable service.

CityMD “Takes almost all insurance” but for those without it a visit will cost $125 plus other fees if required such as medications or other related health care materials.

I will admit it. I used to be a skeptic of chiropractic care. I had always heard about the “cracking,” that

occurs at an appointment and thought that can’t be good for the body. After moving to Burien a couple years ago though, my thoughts about it changed. My entire family was in a multi-car accident on Highway 518 that totaled both of our cars, but thankfully left only myself and my 6 month old son at the time with minimal whiplash.

I knew we needed to seek several forms of medic-inal care to fully heal, and was told by a friend to check out Collins Chiropractic. Owner Dr. Aaron Collins sat me down and explained the holistic process his office approaches to the body, and I learned that chiropractic care can truly benefit our bodies. On the Collins website it says, “We believe you live your life through your nervous system—it connects all your pieces together inside you, if it’s broken, you will feel it. Your spine protects your nervous system—therefore to care for your spine is to care for your life.”

From my own experience and healing process after the car injury, I found the care I was looking for. I do not have any residual pain or restriction in movement, and this is huge being that I am working and teaching fitness classes every week. My son has also been perfectly fine since the accident after he was cared for by the Collins team. I also noticed when he was sick or had ear infections last winter they were shorter and he recovered more quickly. As a Mom this made life so much easier!

According to the article “Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Kids,” from the Livestrong.com website, “An

VALUABLE TIPS FOR PERSONAL WELLNESSLIVING WELL

Why Chiropractic?increase in chronic childhood disease is part of the reason parents today seek alternative health care for kids. Chiropractic care is an effective and affordable program by licensed providers that addresses chil-dren’s health conditions associated with the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. Gentle, noninvasive and drug free, chiropractic adjustments treat, resolve and prevent a wide range of health problems.”

Dr. Genie from Pier View Chiropractic also told me, “We teach our kids not to call people names and not to do drugs- yet in health, everything has a name and there is a drug to treat it. This sends a mixed message. Chiropractic is safe, gentle and effective; by using light pressure, we can remove interference to the nervous system, allowing their innate intelligence to support growth and development from a natural state homeostasis without the use of drugs. Most kids respond well to care.”

I am a believer. You don’t know until you try it folks. Go chiro!

Vitalich’s record counts 398 wins and 255 losses. His best season, he said, was in 2006, with 22 wins and two losses.

Another banner year was in 2013, when Vitalich took his team to finish second in state.

He’s led West Seattle athletes to Met-ro playoffs 26 times and 12 times in state, from 1989 to 1993 and again in 2003, 2006, 2008, and more recently from 2010 to 2013.

There were five years the team became metro champions—1990 through 1993 and again in 2006—and West Seattle High was named division champion 14 times during Vitalich’s tenure.

“We packed the place in those play-off games,” Vitalich said. “Those were goose-bump-type games.”

He basically fell into coaching in his home turf. “I just liked it,” he said. “It’s just what I did. Spring came on, and you went and coached baseball.”

Vitalich grew up in West Seattle—and attended the high school where he would later become baseball coach, after graduat-ing from Madison Middle School and La-fayette Elementary.

He mainly played baseball and basketball as a child—but he is a true sports fan and loves football and hockey as well.

After earning his degree in physical ed-ucation at Western Washington University, Vitalich started coaching girls basketball in 1978.

“I’ve been coaching ever since,” he said. At the time, John Robinson was coaching

baseball at the school. “I thought he’d never leave,” Vitalich said. To his surprise, Robinson stepped down

and Vitalich took over his post in 1987. Since then, he has only been thrown out

of a game once. “In the early years, I used to take our

losses so hard,” he said. “Then I figured out, we should just do the best we can, win or lose. When I finally figured that out, I be-came a better coach.”

He said helping students grow as athletes has been his top priority. “It’s all about the kids,” he said. “We had great kids every year. They’re West Seattle guys, and I’m a West Seattle guy. We had pride in our school and in our community.”

Practice makes perfect was his guiding mantra. “The harder you work, the luckier you are,” he said. “You know why that guy hit doubles instead of singles? He was in the weight room all winter. If you want to be good, you have to be committeed.”

Vitalich has also served as basketball ref-eree for 40 years and plans to continue. He will also still coach golf and continue to be a special education instructor.

He thanks his wife Karen and volunteers for helping him all these years.

“I lasted as long as I did, because I had so many guys volunteer to help me,” he said. “They were so dedicated.”

Jim Bowe, one of Vitalich’s former stu-dent athletes, has been a volunteer baseball coach at Vitalich’s side for the past 10 years.

“It’s been fun to get to know Velko as an adult,” Bowe said. “I wanted to help him out.”

Bowe said Vitalich has a keen sense of the sport.

“He just understands the game,” Bowe said. “He has a really good eye. Velko earned the respect.”

He added that Vitalich’s first priority was always helping his students.

“Obviously he wanted to win, and he won a lot of games, but he gave the kids a lot of chances,” Bowe said. “He was all about development. There’s something bigger than baseball. He understood get-ting the kids into an activity after school and on a team was primary, and baseball was secondary.”

By Lindsay PeytonThe arrival of three runaway slaves at a

Union Army fort is the catalyst for the sto-ry that unfolds in Richard Strand’s “Ben Butler”, a play that raises questions as perti-nent today as in the time period it portrays.

Burien Actors Theatre presents the Northwest premiere of the historical drama through Oct. 22.

A colorful major general in the Union Army during the Civil War, Benjamin Franklin Butler, takes center stage in the tale.

The historical figure, a businessman and lawyer from Massachusetts, gained notori-ety with the unique method he invented to free fugitive slaves.

Butler’s office is the setting for Strand’s play, which takes places in the first week of the war.

The major has been placed in command of the Union outpost Fort Monroe in Vir-ginia, right after it seceded from the nation.

Butler, played by Michael Mendonsa, es-tablishes himself as the man in charge and expresses his extreme displeasure when re-ceiving “demands” from anyone other than his superiors in the army and government —or his wife.

His world changes when he meets one of the runaway slaves, Shepard Mallory, played by Sharif Ali.

Mallory pleads his case and tries to con-vince the major general to give him sanctu-ary at the fort—and to allow him to enlist in the Union Army with his fellow runaways.

While Mallory impresses Butler with his wit and humor, Butler refuses, explaining that he is required by the Fugitive Slave Act to return the men to “their owners.”

The two men debate the case and, in the process, learn that they have more in com-mon than they would have thought, in-cluding their equally stubborn natures.

Despite its serious themes, the play

Burien Actors Theatre brings thought-provoking play, Richard Strand’s ‘Ben

Butler,’ to the stage this October

stands as a successful comedy, with a num-ber of laugh-out-loud moments.

Even though there are only a handful of characters, and all the action is confined to one room, the show still manages to keep viewers enthralled through the length of the performance.

The other two characters—Mark Fox as Butler’s right-hand man Lt. Kelly and Dave Tucker as Major Cary from the Confeder-ate Army add to the drama.

The main characters are dynamic and complex and the perfect pair to take view-ers on a thoughtful journey, using word play and comedy to open the door for dis-cussion of race and politics in the U.S.

The timing of this production is partic-ularly poignant for Burien—and the rest of the country—telling a story that explores the plight of those seeking refuge and

sanctuary and for a look at the ability to be open-minded and forward thinking.

Designers for the show include Albie Clementi on the set, Zanna Paulson for lighting, Cyndi Baumgardner in props, Maggie Larrick in costumes and Eric Dick-man in sound.

Mark Fox with John Lynch created the fight choreography, while Scott Hille made scar prosthetics. Gavin McLean served as coach for dialects.

Rachel Rene serves as director and Mi-chelle Rodriguez as stage manager.

The performance begins at 8 p.m. on Fri-days and Saturdays and 2 p.m. for the Sun-day matinee. The theatre is located at 14501 4th Ave. S.W.

Patrick RobinsonJack Miller, owner of Husky Deli in the

West Seattle Junction has a tradition of taking people out on Elliott Bay to see the moon rise over the Seattle Skyline. His boat, the Baltic Sea is a converted fishing trawler that can carry quite a few people. He also does cruises for the West Seattle Chamber of Commerce.  Oct. 5 was the date for the Harvest Moon,  the full moon that rises closest to the autumn equinox. It was a calm, cool evening as about 35 people took in the beauty of our

city from that aquatic base. The moon it-self is often quite orange at this time of year because it rises slightly sooner than average and at a narrower angle, mak-ing it appear to be  fuller. Nonetheless it is quite bright... and getting a photo of it against a very dark sky (even with expen-sive digital cameras) means you won’t see the features of the moon AND see sur-rounding details in the darkness because the brightness difference is too great. Es-pecially from the water. Still, it makes for a beautiful sight.

Lindsay PeytonFoodies, bread lovers, dessert junkies

and those with an incurable sweet-tooth in Burien rejoice: Bakery Nouveau’s newest location is now open.

The café, located at 426 S.W. 153rd St., will serve as a flagship for co-owners chef William Leaman and CEO Heather Lea-man. It’s the largest location of the couple’s three bakeries, at 7,500 square-feet with seating for 22 inside and about 12 outdoors.

The Burien location will include daily selections of pastries, cakes, sandwiches, quiche and bread, as well as house-made gelato.

Guests can also sneak a peak at the shop’s expanded chocolate production space through a window in the floor at the entry.

“Simple and elegant” is the way William describes his baking style.

The café is nostalgic, with a European vibe that matches the pastries and breads served up at the counter. It’s a throwback to when bakeries were internet-free, neigh-bors caught up over coffee and pastries were made by hand.

While Bakery Nouveau may be the new kid on the block in Burien, the company has been known in the city since the Lea-mans opened their first location in West Seattle in 2006. The second location opened in Capitol Hill in 2013.

Now open in Burien; Bakery Nouveau makes the cake

Lindsay Peyton

Madison Collins, a member of the dessert team at Bakery Nouveau in Burien, prepares cakes.

Burien seemed like the natural next choice for the couple.

“It’s close to West Seattle, where we live,” Heather said. “We like the area. It’s a great community. We like being a neighborhood bakery.”

William has enjoyed setting up the building, because it had enough room for gelato and chocolate production, where as the West Seattle location was too small to dive into either.

He added that being a block behind Bur-ien’s main drag makes it easy to access the bakery and to park nearby.

“A lot of people were loading up on boxes to bring to the airport,” he said. “Why not be a little closer? Now I think we’re only six minutes away.”

Heather designed the space. She said the building was constructed in the 1960s and formerly housed a paint store, optometrist and accounting firm.

“There were layers and layers,” she said. “We gutted the whole thing. There was nothing left. It was a big process.”

Heather said the build out took about a year.

Now the couple can concentrate on cre-ating the rotating menu instead. “We make things we like to eat,” Heather said. “Every-

POLICEREPORTSBALLARD

ASSAULT ON SEAVIEW PLACE N.W. At 1:30 p.m. on Mon., Oct. 2, officers were

dispatched to the 8400 block of Seaview Place N.W. to investigate a report of a man being struck by a vehicle. The victim ex-plained that he had been walking through a park, when a man in a car yelled at him. The victim told the man that he did not know him. Then he took a photo of the suspect’s license plate. The suspect accelerated and struck the man with the front of the vehicle, before fleeing south through the parking lot. The impact threw the victim up into the air and left him with a scrape on his left arm and an abrasion on his left leg. The sleeve of his shirt was torn and his watchband was broken. A woman witnessed the incident and corroborated the victim’s statement. Of-ficers took photos for evidence.

MAN ARRESTED AFTER ROBBING A WOMAN IN BALLARD

A 35-year-old man was arrested in the morning on Fri., Sept. 29 in Ballard after he assaulted and robbed a woman of her back-pack in the neighborhood and later barri-caded himself on a boat in Salmon Bay. The incident began around 5:30 a.m. near 30th Avenue N.W. and N.W. Market Street. A witness observed the crime and attempted to intervene. Still, the suspect was able to get away.  Officers responded, and the vic-tim said she knew the suspect and that he lived on a boat in the area. She added that the man is always armed with a knife and a loaded handgun, and that he also kept shotguns on the boat. Officers went to the boat, which was docked near 24th Avenue N.W. and N.W. 54th Street. Another man came out of the boat and informed officers that the suspect was still on board.  Nego-tiators responded to the scene to establish a dialogue with the suspect. Based on the weapon information provided by the victim, SWAT was requested. After several hours the suspect emerged from the boat and was taken into custody without incident. Officers cleared the boat and recovered a rifle and several BB guns. The suspect was booked into jail for robbery. Detectives are still following up the investigation.

BURGLARY AT MARIJUANA DISPENSARY Officers were dispatched to the 300 block

of N. 85th Street around 3 a.m. on Tues., Sept. 26 to investigate a burglary at a mar-ijuana dispensary. The caller lives in an apartment above the business and heard an alarm go off. She looked out her win-dow and saw two men running from the business, before they got into a black SUV and sped away. When she came downstairs, she discovered that the side door had been pried open. Products from inside were scattered on the sidewalk. Individuals had

one in our kitchen is passionate about food. It’s an extension of us—our family to your family.”

The couple met in 1993 in Arkansas. Heather was pursuing a career in architecture and William was pushing ahead as a baker.

Then, they visited Seattle. “We were amazed at the quality of food

out here, the seafood and the produce,” William said. “We came out and sat on

the beach and watched the boats go by. We thought this is great. But in my mind, I’m thinking there’s all this coffee, but where’s the bakery?”

So they built their own. “I stay out of the kitchen—and he stays out

of the office,” Heather said. “And we’ve got a good team. Hard work and passion goes into everything they produce, every day.”

OFFICERS DISCOVER RESIDENTIALROBBERY BEFORE THEHOMEOWNERS RETURN

Market Street around 11:20 p.m. on Sun., Sept. 24. They found the front door had been forced open and the doorframe was shattered. The police cleared the res-idence. Several drawers were open. The officers restored the door and deadbolt to appear normal and left through a garage. They had to wait until the homeowners re-turned to see if anything was missing.

HIGHLINEAWAKENED BY DELUSIONAL GUEST

Police were dispatched to a home on the 1400 block of S. 132nd Street around 7 a.m. on Sun., Oct. 1. The caller said a woman was on her front porch trying to get into the house. Officers escorted the woman off the property and said she was delusional and exhibited threatening behavior.

Herbold: Design review procedures are getting an updateDistrict 1 City Councilmember Lisa Her-

bold shared her perspective on changes that were passed by the City Council last week on the city’s Design Review Program.Herbold writes:

“On Monday the Council voted unani-mously for changes to the Design Review Pro-gram. Previously it was heard in the Planning, Land Use, and Zoning committee on each 8/1, 8/15 and 9/19 and there was a public hearing on 9/11.

Here is an update on the amendments that were made in committee that I sponsored that, taken together with our amendments sponsored by other Councilmembers, signifi-cantly changed the Executive’s proposal that I heard concerns about from many of you:Change 1:

The Mayor’s proposal: A new 10,000-square foot threshold for design review project eligi-bility. That threshold would have removed a significant number of projects that the com-munity should have input on. Under the May-or’s proposal 29% of projects currently subject to Design Review would have no longer re-ceived any design review at all.

My amendment: Under this new propos-al just 19% of projects that currently receive design review will no longer be subject to de-

sign review and 45% of all projects that cur-rently receive design review will still receive Full Design Review. Many other projects will continue to receive Streamlined or Adminis-trative Design Review.

My amendment: Removed the Hybrid Design Review Process and the Hybrid Pilot Project.Change 3:

This amendment, derived by a suggestion from District 1 resident and Morgan Com-munity Association President Deb Barker, was especially designed for projects in areas that are rezoned from single-family to LR1 and LR2. I want to ensure that neighbor-hoods that are rezoned for greater density in the future will also have a greater say in how the new development occurs in their community. Areas that are rezoned from single-family to Low Rise 1 and Low Rise 2 and are between 5,000 and 8,000 square feet will go through Streamlined Design Review. Areas that are rezoned from single-family to Low Rise 3 and are between 5,000 and 8,000 square feet will go through  Administrative Design Review.”

How to speak Seattle

WSLETTERS

JEAN GODDEN

WE LOVE JEAN GODDEN!To the editor:

Hi Jean! So good to have you back in print’!  Wil and I really look forward to our weekly issue of Westside Seattle these days! 

Wil & Suzenne Anderson.

AMERICA THE BEAUTIFULTo the editor:

My choice for a great song to sing as a group is “America The Beautiful”. This an actual song, unlike the poem that was turned into “The Anthem”. I don’t know if you do anything special on Memorial Day but if you feel moved enough come out to the Washington Memorial Cemetery on the east side of the airport for the Memo-rial Day Ceremony. It starts at 3PM and usually last until 4PM. I would tell you it would be worth your time. It’s a very nice program and at the end we all rise and hold the hand of the person on either side and sing   “America The Beautiful”. You don’t need a great voice; just all those people singing together sounds sweet. There are other things happening at the ceremony i.e. bagpipers...I used to hate the sound of bagpipes but at a ceremony honoring dead servicemen and women it is mournfully perfect. Anyway, come the Washington Memorial next time. Cameron Smock, President of Bonney-Watson, directs a great program. You may contact him at the cemetery for an interesting conversation. Keep up your good works.  

Richard EllenbergerNormandy Park

Take it from me: There really is a Se-attle Freeze. It’s the problem newcom-

ers face when they first arrive. The natives are polite, but they aren’t ready to make friends. In other words, “Have a nice day—someplace else.”

There are entire websites devoted to the Seattle Freeze. The city’s frosty approach to visitors is often traced to the city’s early Nor-dic and Asian immigrants. Others say our sunless weather is to blame. Or that we’re all misfits, introverts and lack a sense of humor.

Best way to thaw the Freeze is to quickly learn the language. Seattle does have its own peculiar lingo. A page from the Speak Seattle lexicon:

Amazonian: An individual who comes equipped with a tag, travels in six-packs and works at the company store. If you’re one of today’s 57 newcomers, you probably are one.

Ballard Tux: Outfit that combines faded jeans, threadbare flannel shirt and worn hiking boots, sometimes topped by a Gortex ski jacket.

Bicycle: Once thought to be a superi-or mode of transportation, now an object venerated by cultists with steel thighs. The cult has detractors who have formed a bike-lash, abetted by those who believe in a War Against Cars.

Boeing: The plane factory known by nick-names like the Big Kite Factory, “down on the Lazy Bee” or “Boeings” for short. You’ll sound like a local if you refer to “Boeing Time.” That means going to work before dawn and leav-ing with the early shift.

California Driver: A driver trained to cut in front of your car without signaling, to blast his/her horn while you wait for pedestrians, and to block intersections so motorists can’t move when the light changes.

Councilmember: Title for Seattle’s policy-makers or CM for short. A P-I city editor, fresh from San Francisco, once insisted on changing the text to “supervisor.”

I-5: A parking lot that bisects the city and is sometimes misidentified by California imports as “The Five.” Californians also talk about “The Four-oh-five.”

Kale: Perennial vegetable, grown year around and guaranteed to show up in salads, stews, soups and smoothies and next in ice cream and coffee. Want kale with your triple Grande, half caff, skinny latte?

The Junction: Heart of downtown West Se-attle and home to the city’s first and best All Way Walk Signal.

Puget Sound: The body of water to the West of the city is “the Sound,” “the Salish Sea” or “Elliott Bay.” Never, never do as one newly-ar-rived newscaster did and call it “the Ocean.”

Seattle Nice: Locals practicing their best passive aggressive skills.

The Ave: Folk designation for University

Way Northeast and its jumble of fast-food outlets, T-shirt boutiques and second-hand apparel shops.

Microbrew: Beer with an attitude. Rat City: Rodents need not apply. The

White Center nickname supposedly was tak-en from the U. S. military Relocation and Training (R. A. T.) Center once located there. The name lives on with the popular Rat City Rollergirls who have trained in White Center.

Thrifting: Looking for Winnie-the-Poo pajamas, velour jumpsuits or abused leather jackets? It’s a pastime popularized by Seattle’s own Macklemore aka Professor Mack Lem-ore aka Ben Haggerty.

U Dub: Shorthand for the University of Washington, a brain factory attached to a football power known as “them Dawgs.”

Umbrella: An alien device cleverly de-signed to turn inside out during gusts of wind. Seldom carried by natives.

Under the Clock: When someone says “meet me under the clock,” that means you should go to the Pike Place Public Market and wait at the bend where Pike Street meets Rachel the Pig. Other Market locales include “the Pavilion” and “the Plaza,” features of the stunning new Western addition, as well as “DownUnder” for the beehive of shops on the Market’s lower floors.

Viaduct: World’s ugliest pedestrian-con-trol device, designed to keep Westerly views at a minimum and tourists from swarming across downtown streets. The old eyesore will soon be demolished and replaced by a water-front park. That is, it will unless the forces of good get into a war over how many more bike lanes to add.Jean Godden is a veteran Seattle PI and Seat-tle Times newspaperwoman and city council-woman.

an incident around 9:30 p.m. on Sat., Sept. 23 on the 15800 block of Ambaum Blvd.

WEST SEATTLEASSAULT ON ADMIRAL WAY

Just after midnight on Sun., Oct. 1, an of-ficer was flagged down by a victim who said he had called 911 earlier but no one showed up. The victim, who was found on the 4200 block of S.W. Admiral Way, said he was an employee of a nearby business and had been assisting a customer who became angry. A man got out of his car and started arguing with the victim. A 17-year-old woman with blue hair then exited the vehicle and slapped the victim in the face. The car moved around the building, and the woman threw a bottle of wine through the window, breaking the glass. The victim was cut in his left wrist from the shattered bottle. The suspects then fled, heading north on California Avenue S.W. The victim said he could identify the suspects and provide video. The officer took photos of the damage to enter into evidence.

MEN ARRESTED IN WHITE CENTERAS PART OF ANTI-VIOLENCE EFFORTBY SOUTHWEST PRECINCT

Seattle Police and King County Sheriff ’s deputies attended a gang member’s funeral in White Center on Wed., Sept. 27—after a shooting the night before. The crime occurred outside the man’s home on 12th Avenue and Donovan Street in South Park. A number of the gang member’s friends had gathered at the residence for a viewing. During the event, attendees were targeted in a shooting outside the home, leaving a 20-year-old man with serious gunshot injuries. In an effort to pre-vent any further violence, officers maintained a presence outside the funeral the next day. Following the services, officers recognized one man, who had a warrant for unlawful possession of a firearm and a Department of Corrections violation. Deputies arrested him, as well as a second man, who was a convicted felon and found in possession of a pistol. Kent police and the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives also assisted in the investigation.

ASSAULT ON SYLVAN WAY S.W.Just after noon on Thurs., Sept. 28, offi-

cers received a call about a disturbance on the 6500 block of Sylvan Way S.W. The in-cident had occurred about three hours ear-lier, the victim explained. She had ongoing issues with her neighbors and believes they are drug users or possibly dealers. She was also upset that one of the men had hit on her granddaughter. The caregiver for the victim was also on the scene. She told officers that she heard an argument outside and went to see what was happening. The caregiver said there were a number of derogatory remarks made, including some about how the grand-daughter might not have a greencard and should return to her own country. At one point, the neighbors pepper-sprayed the woman, who is confined to a wheel chair. The caregiver was also hit in the arm and sprayed in her eye. The victim was treated for the pepper spray earlier in the day by a doctor, before the police arrived. The man across the street admitted to a long-term ar-gument with his neighbor but said he was not at home during the pepper spray inci-dent. Officers advised all parties involved to avoid each other in the future.
