A 20-year-old Seattle man is dead and two teen-agers were injured after a suspect drove up along-side the victims’ vehicle and opened fire in Federal
Way on Thursday morn-ing.
Residents living near the 32800 block of First Ave. S. called police and reported sounds of gunshots at approximately 1:05 a.m. St. Francis Hospital staff called 911 within minutes to report gunshot victims arrived there by private vehicle.
Three male victims — ages 18, 19 and 20 — were struck by gunfire and were being treated at the hospi-tal. The 20-year-old died and the other two victims are expected to survive, according to a Federal Way Police Department media release. All three victims are from the Seattle area.
Preliminary witness
information indicates that the shooting suspect drove up along-side the victims and opened fire, car-to-car, police said. The suspect vehicle was described as a red Chevrolet Impala-style vehicle. The shooting sus-pect is described as a black man with a stocky build and dreadlocks.
Police were actively searching for the described suspect and vehicle on Thursday.

FROM STAFF REPORTS
Following failure of a $53.7 million capital bond measure last
April, the South King Fire and Rescue board of com-missioners approved at its July 28 meeting to place a new $39 million capital bond measure on the Nov. 3 special election ballot.
Commissioner Mark Freitas was the lone op-posing vote. Freitas said poor leadership put the
fire district in this predica-ment.
“We have good firefight-ers, good equipment, good service and now we’re ask-ing for a handout because we didn’t manage well the resources we had,” Freitas told the Mirror.
Freitas went on to say that he represents a seg-ment of the Federal Way community that believes leadership is lacking.
He said he represents the community residents,
not the fire district, and is doing what he was elected to do.
The other four fire commissioners, including chairman Bill Gates, all emphasized how impor-tant passage of the $39 million bond would be in helping the district prepare for the future and to serve residents with exemplary service and equipment.
“This is essential for the survival of our fire district,” fire commissioner
James Fossos said. “I hope people understand how serious this is.”
Not since 1992 has the fire district asked voters to consider passage of a capi-tal bond measure, aside from last April’s bond pro-posal. For years, the fire district has maintained a lean operation, made pos-sible by a base tax rate of $1.50 per $1,000 assessed valuation.
“Our citizens are get-ting a great bang for
their buck,” Fire Chief Al Church said. “Our district has a Class 2 insurance rating. We have used tax dollars incredibly well.”
Assistant Fire Chief Ed Plumlee said there is a perception in the commu-nity that the fire district has not invested in capital. But that is not the case, Plumlee explained.
“From 2001-2012, we were investing in capital expenditures at a tune of $10 million,” Plumlee said.
An excess maintenance and operations levy ap-proved by voters in 2012 that added an additional 27 cents to the base tax rate, does not go toward capital expenditures but to staffing costs. This excess levy expires in January 2017.
“We’re asking voters in this bond to really improve the infrastructure of the fire department,” Plumlee

Sound Transit board picks I-5 route for light railBY STEVE HUNTER
Reporter Newspapers
Sound Transit plans to extend light rail tracks along the Interstate 5 alignment to Kent and Federal Way rather than along Highway 99.
The Sound Transit Board of Directors voted unanimous-ly to pick the west side of I-5 route as the preferred alterna-tive for the 7.6-mile route from SeaTac to Federal Way at a July 23 meeting in Seattle.
But the board couldn’t agree on where the agency should build a station in the Kent/Des Moines area, instead it approved amendments for staff to further study whether to put a station on the east side or west side of Pacific High-way South near Highline College in Des Moines.
City officials from Kent, Des Moines, SeaTac and Federal Way already had agreed that I-5 would be the preferred route for the more than $1 billion project. That consensus by the cities impressed the Sound Transit board, which is composed of elected officials from across the region and chaired by King County Executive Dow Constantine.
Sound Transit plans to expand light rail from the Angle Lake Station at South 200th in SeaTac, which opens in 2016, to Kent/Des Moines near South 240th Street by 2023 and then the full 7.6 miles to Federal Way near South 320th Street when more funding is secured. Construction is ex-pected to begin in 2019 on the SeaTac-to-Kent extension.
Now that the agency has a preferred route, staff will pre-[ more TRANSIT, page 3 ]

Public works crews from the city of Federal Way recently completed the South 320th Street con-crete overlay project. The city’s asphalt overlay is an annual street maintenance program in which selected streets are repaved along with upgrading existing curbs/gutters and side-walks, as well as wheelchair
ramps to meet Americans with Disabilities Act re-quirements.
“I am proud of the qual-ity and timely work our overlay crews have done,” said Mayor Jim Ferrell. “One of the comments I frequently hear from visitors and business alike is how nice Federal Way’s streets are. It is a real qual-ity of life issue. Thanks to proper planning and a good strategic vision, Federal Way has the best roads in our state.”
Marwan Salloum, Public Works director, said Federal Way “is the envy of most
adjoining jurisdictions be-cause of our mayor and city council’s commitment to provide a dedicated funding to the City asphalt overlay program and maintaining
our good quality streets.”The available overlay
asphalt budget is approxi-mately $1.5 million per year from state gas tax and city utility tax.

Last week the Sound Transit Board, comprised of elected of� cials from Pierce, King and Snohomish Counties, including our own King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer, voted unanimously to
recommend an Interstate 5 alignment for the proposed Link Light Rail extension to Federal Way. This recommendation mirrors similar votes by the Federal Way City Council, the Federal Way School District, as well as the cities of Des Moines, SeaTac, and Kent.
This was an unprecedented display of collaboration and unity amongst neighboring jurisdictions and weighed heavily in the outcome of the Sound Transit vote.
So, what does this vote mean? And, importantly, what does this vote not mean?
For starters, it does not mean Light Rail has been approved to come all the way to Federal Way. However, this is a positive step in the right direction. In order for � nal approval, the Sound Transit 3 package must pass a public vote in the Fall of 2016. Additionally, next Fall Sound Transit will vote on a � nal version of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and con� rm their route choice for the Federal Way Link extension.
Perhaps the most signi� cant outcome of Sound Transit’s preferred route to Federal Way is that it narrows the many options presented to the Board for potential routes to South King County. Routes included many options from disrupting SR-99 to a hybrid option which combined zigzagging between the freeway and parts of Paci� c Highway. The Interstate 5 alignment requested by Federal Way is nearly a 1/3 of a billion dollars ($350M) less than the alternative route. This sum simply cannot be overlooked, most especially in terms of the service opportunities where this money can be spent to expand service to more locales and more riders.
There were several helpful and positive amendments to the preferred alignment vote. Several of these amendments enhanced Transit Oriented Development (TOD) potential near � nal station locations in Federal Way. Other amendments allowed for further study of station locations in Kent and increased rapid ride services to get riders to and from TOD and parking areas where TOD potential is sparse.
In my testimony to the Sound Transit Board, I spoke of the negative impact a Paci� c Highway alignment would have on the nearly $60 million in road improvements Federal Way has invested in our streets. I also discussed the distracting affect a train
zooming by at high speeds would have on students at the new $100 million Federal Way High School. Finally, I raised the concern many of us have over what would amount to a forced relocation of thousands of our residents and businesses.
Bringing Light Rail to Federal Way will allow for upward mobility for our citizens and will � nally provide a realistic transportation alternative for South King County residents to commute to and from the main job center of our region. While Federal Way is redeveloping, and it is our goal to create an atmosphere for businesses to thrive and create good jobs for our community, the fact remains that Seattle will dominate the
regional job market for the foreseeable future.
Highline College will be served by the Light Rail extension with either a station location on their campus just west of SR-99 (an option over $50 million more expensive), or by a station just 200 feet away east
of SR-99. To put that into perspective, the average patron walks 200 feet from their car to the supermarket when buying groceries. It is believed that the east SR-99 station would allow for a true TOD opportunity which will serve the communities of Kent and Des Moines.
In an effort to maximize the growth potential at each Light Rail station, staffs from Sound Transit and the City of Federal Way are forming working groups to study the development opportunities at the Star Lake Park and Ride at 272nd and the Redondo Park and Ride. They are also looking into the feasibility of shuttle service connecting development on SR-99 to a station at the Star Lake facility. Moreover, staffs are also studying how the station along 23rd Avenue in our downtown should best be placed and improved.
While the � nal decision is not due until next year, there is momentum for a Federal Way extension and I-5 alignment. I would like to recognize the work of our own Sound Transit Board Member Pete von Reichbauer. Without Pete’s strong advocacy on behalf of South King County, we might not have been able to come to an agreement on alignment.
We have much to look forward to in Federal Way, from the Performing Arts and Event Center, to our new Town Square Park and the exciting project on the former Target location, as well as other investments occurring in our city. Adding Light Rail will ensure our City remains competitive and an inviting place for businesses and families to invest for years to come.
Jim Ferrell, Federal Way Mayor
A Positive Direction for Federal WayMayor’s Memo…

said. “We can only go so far without investment in capital.”
Plumlee said equipment and fire apparatus paid for with the 1992 capital bond, like the above-ground fuel tanks, are coming to the end of their life and need to be replaced.
The $39 million capital bond measure, if approved by voters, would ask tax-payers owning a $250,000 to pay an average of $40 in home property taxes per year or $3.33 per month.
Listening to voters, the fire commissioners decided to reduce the size of the bond measure from $53.7 million down to $39 million, removing some of the improvements originally planned, includ-ing building a new fire station on the south end of the district, upgrading the fleet facilities building and purchasing a new fireboat.
The board has decided to do a two-phase ap-
proach. The first phase un-der the $39 million bond measure will cover priority upgrades and modern-izations of facilities and replacements of equipment and vehicles. A critical fo-cus will be making seismic earthquake upgrades to existing fire stations in the district.
“We need to consider
the safety of our employees and citizens,” Gates said. “Seismic upgrades so sta-tions meet certain earth-quake safety standards are critical.”
If necessary to com-plete secondary priorities, the board may decide to approve a second capi-tal bond measure in the future.

pare a final environmental impact statement for the preferred route with a final board decision to be made late next year.
King County Council-man Dave Upthegrove, a member of the Sound Transit board, proposed the amendment to further study where to put a station in the Kent/Des Moines area. Other stations are ex-pected to be built at South 272nd Street near I-5 at the Star Lake Park & Ride lot and at South 320th Street in Federal Way.
“This directs staff to consider and analyze op-tions between 30th Avenue South and Highway 99,” Upthegrove said. “This broadens it to include land at the college. … This keeps that option on the table and continues the discussion.”
Highline College staff and students support a station on the west side of Pacific Highway South. They want the station as close to campus as possible to make it easy for students to use light rail.
Kent city officials prefer a station on the east side of the highway near 30th Avenue South because it is
less disruptive to existing businesses or future devel-opment on Highway 99. Kent also wants a pedes-trian overpass so students and others can easily cross Pacific Highway South.
Ben Wolters, city eco-nomic and community development director, told the board maybe the agency could build an overpass similar to the one it just opened near the University of Washington campus across Montlake Boulevard near its light rail station by Husky Stadium.
Wolters and others also
pointed out the I-5 alterna-tive at an estimated cost of $1.4 billion is about $350 million less than the High-way 99 route.
The board asked staff to further study potential to create a transit corridor along South 272nd Street to better connect Highway 99 to the 272nd Street station with bus, bicycle and pedes-trian routes.
Sound Transit staff is expected to return to the board in a few months with more specific information about the proposed station locations.

Local resident graduates from William & MaryFROM STAFF REPORTS
Andrew Lee from Federal Way recently graduated from the College of William &
Mary with a BBA degree.Founded by royal charter in 1693, Wil-
liam & Mary is the second oldest educa-tional institution in the nation. During the past 300 years, the college has educated three U.S. Presidents — Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler — numerous senators and members of Congress.
What is the future for the Weyerhaeuser property?
Like many of you, I was startled when I first read that Weyerhaeuser would be leaving Federal Way in 2016 after what will have been 45 years in the city. After the initial shock and sense of loss comes the question: “What’s next?”
One idea floated has been to use the Weyerhaeuser
property as the site for a future university branch campus. While I support the idea, we should assess what might be its projected footprint. Currently, there are two branch campuses in the Puget Sound region, UW Tacoma and UW Bothell. The Tacoma and Bothell campuses sit on 46 and 70 acres, respectively, while both offering more than 30 undergraduate degree programs and several gradu-ate programs. Meaning that even if we were successful in luring a branch here, more than 350 acres of the 430-acre Weyerhaeuser property would remain for economic development.
Given that Federal Way is already replete with large tracts of single-family homes, building more doesn’t appear very logical for meeting the city’s means.
Building more retail space
wouldn’t seem to make sense given that the Weyerhaeuser area sits between the Com-mons Mall area and the Auburn SuperMall.
A popular idea in some quarters is building more office space on the property. In response, I must note that a glut of office space already exists in Federal Way and South King County, more broadly. A 2014 analysis found that South King County had the largest vacancy rates for total office spaces of five large markets carved from King, Pierce and Snohomish Counties. Also, Federal Way had the third highest vacancy rate overall out of 38 subareas within those three counties, behind only the Kent Valley and Puyallup. Suffice to say, Federal Way doesn’t need more office space.
In speaking to members of the Blue Ribbon Panel which
analyzed the viability of a Performing Arts and Events Center, one thorny revelation they came to was that Federal Way’s job market is domi-nated by low-wage retail and office industries. While they ultimately endorsed the plan, a concern remains that too many workers in Federal Way are struggling to get by.
In the 1980’s, the Port of Tacoma used its land that now, and especially then, was far off the beaten track in Frederickson to develop an industrial center. Today, its 10 largest employers, includ-ing Boeing, employ 3,000 workers on only 420 acres. These aren’t jobs that you struggle to pay your rent on, but ones you can pay your mortgage with. The Port of Tacoma took its time and found tenants that met their vision.
Federal Way, which currently has no zoning
for manufacturing, has an opportunity with the Weyerhaeuser area – perhaps alongside a new branch uni-versity – to both diversity our job sector and create family-wage jobs. If it can be done in Frederickson, with our strategic position along I-5 and between both the ports of Tacoma and Seattle, it can be done in Federal Way.Richard Champion, Federal Way

That wouldn’t phase me if they didn’t make me wait in a long line of needy ladies while an atten-

I have to say, I loved France. It wasn’t just the food, the museums, the cobblestone streets, the majestic cathedrals and the amazing architecture — but the people are truly wonderful. I trav-eled on the Seine River from Paris to Normandy. Visiting the graves of more than 9,000 Americans who sacrificed their lives at Omaha Beach on D-Day renewed my feelings of pride in my country. French women cried as they laid a ceremonial wreath to honor the fallen. They thanked all the American tourists present for their freedom and the freedom for their children. It was a chilling ex-perience to walk the remnants of this World War II battle. There is an energy at this site that will encourage you to feel courage. We go on because they cared.

New superintendent of schools Tammy Campbell has been getting a crash course in Federal Way’s history, community goals and its multicultural makeup. She has reached out to many different segments of the community through meetings and events and tried to be inclusive in her search for input and open commu-nication.
In the wake of the departure of the previous superintendent and board president, district residents are hopeful, if still a little reserved, after a year of wondering about their children’s future. But so far, Campbell’s honesty and disarming style has won over many doubters and feedback has been extreme-ly positive. Residents comment on her academ-ic knowledge, people skills and commitment to excellence in education. So far, she is building up a lot of political capital she may need for the coming year.
School starts in a few weeks and will be the focus of several thousand students, parents,
teachers and administrators.Parallel to the start of school and the Camp-
bell era, is the election of school board members. Under the Carver model for Policy Governance used in Federal Way, the board concentrates on policy and the superintendent assumes more direct responsibility for running the district. The relationship between board and superintendent relies on trust, team work and recognition of
each other’s roles. If roles become confused, then the relationship may become strained. The current board hired Campbell and the relation-ship is building. But, the board that convenes in January could be different.
Current board chair Geoffery McAnalloy worked with prior board chair Carol Gregory to ensure a smooth search for Campbell. But Gregory, whose life work has been in educa-tion, was appointed to the state Legislature and

is running to keep the seat. If she wins, a replacement will be appointed. Both McAnalloy and Gregory are relatively new board mem-bers with only two years of service. Current board vice chair Claire Wilson also has a strong education back-ground and is a program executive director at the Puget Sound Educational Service District. She is be-ing challenged by former board member Angela Grif-fin. Griffin did not run for re-election two years ago after she moved out of her district and into Wilson’s. Griffin was a valuable board member in bringing com-munity input and cultural awareness. But both have a political weakness. They both went on the contro-versial district-paid trip to Europe. That trip was at least partly responsible for one former board member being defeated in 2013 and hastened the former super-intendent’s departure. This will be Wilson’s first time in front of the voters since the trip. But Griffin actually received more criticism from residents at the time, as she was not running for re-election when she went on the trip. How will the voters evaluate their respec-tive strengths and is the trip to Europe still an issue, or is it forgotten? Danny Peter-son is stepping down after one term and Liz Drake will claim the position without opposition. Drake has had a long career in education and was most recently a principal in the district. She was rumored to be interest-ed in other elected offices, but stayed with a primary interest in education. With her background, she will be able to contribute im-mediately. Some concern has been raised about how she will adjust to supervis-ing the superintendent, after having reported to the
superintendent. And will she be comfortable with the separation between the policy role of a board mem-ber after so many years of hands-on direction?
Board member Hiroshi Eto was appointed to the board several months ago and is running unopposed. His background is in civil engineering. Insiders say he is still in the learning phase, although there has been some concern about his frequent letters to the editor and emails to constituents asking for comments. That approach, while helpful in some ways, is outside the team orientation the board has tried to work toward, and has raised some ques-tions.
McAnalloy and Eto will return and have a stake in Campbell’s success, as would Wilson if re-elected. But with Drake, a replace-ment for Gregory and if Griffin defeats Wilson, there could be three new board members, who might look at the superintendent and district policy in a dif-ferent way.
All the candidates have the best interests of the district’s students as their priority and will want Campbell to succeed. But they also have strong personalities and their own ideas about what might constitute the best interests of the students. Merging those different thoughts and ideas will be a chal-lenge for the board chair and Campbell. There is only one competitive race. But try and meet with the board members and get to know them, particularly the new ones. And if you haven’t met Campbell, do so. I think you’ll like her.

LeAnn Taylor has been a resident of Federal Way for 30 years. In those years, she has made it her goal to help build the community in any way she can.
“I’m pretty boring,” said Taylor, who the Mirror selected as Citizen of the Month for July. “I make my-self available to volunteer.”
Taylor is currently the community relations manager at Multi-Service Center. It is a job that has suited her well as it places her in the company of those like herself - volunteers.
“We’re all in it together to make our community a better place,” Taylor said.
She is a member of
numerous organizations in Federal Way including the Federal Way Rotary Club and Soroptimist Interna-tional of Federal Way. She has been a member of the Federal Way Chamber of Commerce for 10 years as well.
Her volunteer work includes One Night Count, an annual event that takes place each January. During the event volunteers count the homeless population throughout King County cities.
Currently she is in a bit of a lull with her volunteer-ing due to her work helping plan for Multi-Service Cen-ter’s Helps Luncheon which will take place Oct. 22. She has also been involved with the new veterans housing project that recently broke ground.
She is also excited to
be a part of Soroptimists 40-years of service celebra-tion in Federal Way.
“One of my passions is getting people involved in the community and doing what they like,” Taylor said.
Her favorite program she has worked with is the ad-vancing leadership program where she was a member of their 2012 class. She liked helping to find more men-tors for the Communities in Schools project.
“I think anything you have a passion in, you should be involved with,” Taylor said. “If your passion is animals, be involved in organizations about them. If your passion is the home-less, be involved in organi-zations about the homeless. Volunteering really needs to go with your passion.”
In her spare time, Taylor enjoys gardening, read-
ing and traveling. She has been to Australia, Mexico, Alaska, the Caribbean and is currently planning a trip to Washington D.C. at the end of the year.
Baseball is another one of her interests. Her love of sports came from her adop-tive father. She now usually attends between five to 10 games a year.
Taylor has no intention of slowing down with her work in the community any time soon.
“I love making our community a better place,” Taylor said. “Once you’re involved with a community, you start to see where the greatest needs are. I like to lead by example. I’m not in it to get recognition. The best part is seeing the end result and touching lives. I just want to make a little difference. I’m really fortu-nate to work with amazing people around the city that do more than I do.”

Event raises $50,000 for Performing Arts and Events CenterFROM STAFF REPORTS
The Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts partnered with Shari Song, Rick Kong and the Korean-American community to organize a festive
fundraising event for the Performing Arts and Events Cen-ter on Sunday at KOAM-TV. The event raised more than $50,000.
“Many thanks to those who volunteered, sent invitations, decorated and helped serve food and drinks. It was a super success,” wrote Joann Piquette, president of the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts, in an email.
Dinner and drinks were followed by remarks from Mayor Jim Ferrell and former Mayor Michael Park and a presenta-tion about the events center by Executive Director Theresa Yvonne. Musical performances by the Federal Way Chorale and the Federal Way Youth Symphony Orchestra enter-tained the attendees and gave a sampling of the possibilities to come when the events center is completed.
Many Korean-American organizations donated through-out the evening, including the Korean Womens Association, Evergreen Senior Club, Federal Way Korean Association and the Korean School of Greater Federal Way. A number of individual donations were made as well. The largest con-tribution of $25,000 came from Atomy USA.
Total community donations raised by the Federal Way Coalition of the Performing Arts now tops $750,000. The organization’s goal is to raise $1 million. For more informa-tion, visit www.federalwaypacc.org or www.fwcpa.org
STATE BOARD ELECTS CHEN AS VICE CHAIR
The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges recently
elected Shaunta Hyde of Lake Forest Park as its chair, making her the first African-American
woman to lead the board. Elizabeth Chen of Federal Way
was elected vice chair.Hyde, who works as the
managing director of community relations at Alaska
Airlines, joined the State Board in 2009. Chen, appointed to
the board in 2010, is a retired faculty member from the
University of Puget Sound where she taught Chinese and
statistics. Hyde and Chen will serve in their roles until the next elections in June 2016. The board’s nine members,
appointed by the governor and approved by the state Senate,
provide general supervision and control over the state
system of 34 community and technical colleges. This includes
capital and operating budget allocations to the colleges.
LeAnn Taylor attended the Salmon Bake on July 24 as a representative for Multi-Service Center. Taylor has been a resident of Federal Way for 30 years. BRUCE HONDA, for the Mirror
Federal Way.” So far, we have Sherran Koshork, a long-time community activist whose husband, Dave, once drove a golf ball from the ninth tee into the swimming pool at the Twin Lakes Golf Course. Both are legends.
Leanne Stock, a kind, generous woman whose husband Jeff Stock is “the most interesting man in the
world” is long overdue to be honored. Mary Gates is a Federal Way super-star, whose husband Bill Gates is the best barbecue chef the Twin Lakes Swim Team has ever known. One will never know how much money these people have raised and donated over the years.
The celebration ceremo-ny for “The Real House-wives of Federal Way” will be a formal English high tea
with cucumber sandwiches and scones. Champagne punch will be served to toast these ladies donned in royal tiaras. The master of ceremonies will be Federal Way City Councilman Mar-tin Moore, with entertain-ment to be announced at a later date. Honorees will have their picture in this newspaper.
The criteria for “The Real Housewives” has no
definition. For me, she is a stand-up woman, one will-ing to fight for the rights of those less fortunate. She is generous, charming, smart, and by the way, she doesn’t have to be married. She may just be someone you love very much.

[ MAGRUDER from page 4 ]
Q&A with Mr. FW: Naming streets after good guys and details about Mr. FWQ: Mr. Federal Way,
I don’t under-stand the Federal
Way City Council’s logic. The mayor seems to be handing out so many Key to the City awards that pretty soon every Tom, Dick and Harry will be able to unlock the front doors at City Hall. But when it comes to naming a street after someone, it’s hard to get the city to do so. Why the dispar-ity?
A: Mr. Federal Way is still await-ing a phone call from Mayor Jim Ferrell to invite Mr. Federal Way to City Hall to claim his Key to the City for being an outstand-ing contributor to civic dialogue.
Mr. Federal Way may just show up with Mrs. Federal Way and the rest of the Federal Way family to shake
the mayor’s hand and have our obligatory photo taken with the council at large. Mr. Mayor, what say you?
Mr. Federal Way has noticed the city handing out more Key to the City awards than street names. That being said, it’s prob-ably easier to have a cheesy ceremonial key made than
to re-do a street sign and all associated maps.
If Mr. Federal Way had the choice, he would rather throw his Key to
the City on a bookshelf or in his glove compartment than see his name every time he drives to The Com-mons mall.
Mr. Federal Way would hate to be the one to give out directions to his friends, “Turn right on First
Avenue South, left onto South 320th Street and then make a left onto Mr. Fed-eral Way.” Huh? Mr. Federal Way doesn’t want to think about how someone may construe those directions.
Mr. Federal Way also doesn’t care to be looked at as a bad guy. Can you imagine how King County Councilman Pete von Reichbauer must feel every time he reads through the Mirror’s police blotter and sees that a wanted felon was caught riding a motorized shopping cart along Pete von Reichbauer Way South?
And forget about how the poor police officers feel ev-ery time they have to write out the lengthy “Pete von Reichbauer Way South.” No, thank you. Mr. Federal Way doesn’t need street recognition.
But if this column prompts the mayor to hand Mr. Federal Way a Key to the City instead, he knows where to reach Mr. Federal
Way.Q: Mr. Federal Way,
how old are you and what do you look like?
A: As my mom always told me, old enough to know better, but alas, most of you likely think that is not the case. Mr. Federal Way is in the midst of looking back at his younger years but still not old enough to have a bifurcated pee stream or in need of any blue pills.
Frankly, that publisher guy didn’t hire Mr. Federal Way for his writing chops so it must be for his great looks. What else is there?
Mr. Federal Way is get-ting a little tired of being a sex object all of his life and of all of society’s rules that elevated him to this position, but Mr. Federal Way supposes we all have our crosses to bear and you could probably care less about Mr. Federal Way’s. Almost as much as he cares about this ques-
tion.Q: You’re fairly opin-
ionated — to be fair. Why does Mrs. Federal Way put up with you?
A: Well since you’re being fair, Mr. Federal Way will be fair. This was a fairly good question. Not great, but not all that bad. See answer above.
Mr. Federal Way can really please — well — it’s likely because we met at such a young age. She snagged Mr. Federal Way before he had a chance to show his true colors. This is really her fault. Had she waited she might have had a different take on the situation. Now she stays with Mr. Federal Way be-cause of his money as we in the newspaper industry are so well compensated and all.
Moreover, have you looked at your high school classmates on Facebook lately? If they are like her’s, they are all over-
weight, have multiple chins and are ugly. She looks up at Mr. Federal Way and feels like she won the lottery. She is correct in that logic.
Besides, Mr. Fed-eral Way doesn’t ask these questions of her. In attorney school 101, the first thing they teach you is don’t ask a question you don’t know the answer to.
Mr. Federal Way doesn’t know her answer so he doesn’t ask the question. Seems pretty basic to Mr. Federal Way.
Q: Mr. Federal Way, are you satisfied with the Sound Transit board’s recent decision on its preferred route option for the Federal Way Link Extension?
A: None of your busi-ness.

Washington Youth Academy graduates local studentsFROM STAFF REPORTS
The Washington Youth Academy celebrated the graduation of seven stu-
dents from the Federal Way area during commence-ment ceremonies on June 20.
The students who have completed the program include Zachery Curry, Hailey Freeman, Meagan Hoffman, Quincy Koerber, Jocelyn Maradiaga-Hernan-dez, Christian Oakeley and
Tevin Washington.These students were

The building off of exit 143 at the entrance of Federal Way shim-
mers on the outside — and inside. Inside that building is the headquarters of the largest private mint in the country.
The Northwest Territorial Mint began operation in 1984 in Auburn. The head-quarters has been situated in Federal Way for about six years now, located at 2505 S. 320th St.
Ross Hansen, owner and founder of the company, got his start in the business by selling coins as a teenager.
“In 1976, as a 16-year-old, I started selling coins and gold and silver at a little flea market right off High-way-99,” Hansen said. “For whatever reason, I didn’t think you could make that a living. I just thought of it as a hobby, but it was a hobby I did pretty well at.”
He would go on to get his pilot’s license, but after a few years, he decided that what he once thought was just a hobby was actually his real passion. He started a coin shop in Auburn in 1981.
At the time, Hansen bought from a mint in Utah. He then began to notice a decline in quality and they challenged him to do it himself once he made them aware of his findings.
“I investigated what it would take and it’s a lot more complicated than most people realize,” Hansen said. “It took me a year-and-a-half, but we ended up building a mint
and started striking coins and medallions. Since that time, we have grown into the country’s largest private mint.”
The Northwest Territorial Mint has eight locations to-tal. The largest factory they own is located in Dayton, Nevada.
The other factories are located in Green Bay, Wis-consin; Tomball, Texas and Honolulu, Hawaii. There are also retail locations in Alex-andria, Virginia and inside the Pentagon. The last two locations are the headquar-ters in Federal Way and a pick and pack facility in Auburn. There are around 300 employees total.
“We were located down the hill in Auburn for 25 years,” Hansen said of their previous mint located in Washington. “But because of some tax issues that were pending with the previous governor, it became unten-able for us to manufacture in the state of Washington.”
Hansen says that he is a big fan of Federal Way, citing the ease of work with the local government and police department as posi-tive traits. He also enjoys the access to the freeway and local population’s welcom-ing attitudes.
Coins and medallions are not the only products the company produces. They have also made knives, cuff links, coasters, belt buckles, silver bullets and several more items with practical uses.
Hansen’s favorite project was the President Reagan Memorial Medal that they were contracted for.
“We were contracted by the President’s Library for President Reagan’s Memo-rial Medal that was passed out to people who were his staffers and at his funeral,” Hansen said. “We worked with the president on the wording and the image. We had to make the coin for six years since they had to be made within a few days of his death. It’s probably been one of the highlights of my career.”
The company has contracts with multiple organizations in the United States, including the mili-
tary and Boy Scouts. They are the makers of many of the medals adorning those in the military, the Medal of Honor, challenge coins for military personnel, the CIA and FBI.
“The most rewarding thing we do is design the medals that adorn the chests of our American men and women in uniform,” Hansen says.
Their clients extend past the borders of the United States as well. They cur-rently have contracts with 19 other countries and also have had their products sent
to Mars.Locally, residents of Fed-
eral Way can buy and sell gold, silver, platinum and palladium at the Northwest Territorial Mint headquar-ters. The Federal Way loca-tion is the only location that handles bullion sales.
“Federal Way has been good to us,” Hansen said. “The people have been ter-rific.”
The Northwest Territo-rial Mint is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.nwtmint.com or call 800-344-6468.

pet of the week

Delgado is an 8-year-old male Chihuahua weighing about 12 pounds. (ID #A058032)
This active guy is an escape artist at the shelter. His former family said he kept get-ting out of their yard. Delgado would need to be supervised when outside. He would also prefer a home with children 12 years and older who will understand that he doesn’t like having his tail or ears tugged.
Delgado would also need to meet any current dogs in your home before being adopted. When he wants attention Del-gado can be quite noisy, so he is best suited for a home rather than an apartment. He would love to be part of a home where he gets lots of walks because exercise is a great way to satisfy his curiosity.
Delgado is neutered, current on vaccinations and has a microchip. Meet Delgado and other ad-ditional animals available for adoption at Regional Animal Services of King County’s Pet Adoption

Federal Way National Little League wins state championshipBY TERRENCE HILL
It was not the easiest road to make it to the state championship
game for Federal Way Na-tional Little League’s 9/10 all-star team. But they overcame an extended stay in the loser’s bracket to win it all.
Federal Way National qualified for the state tournament by winning the District 10 cham-pionship in June. They went undefeated in that tournament, outscoring their opponents 52-4 in four games. The big wins led to a confident team heading into the state tournament.
The tournament began on July 18 and things started off well for Federal Way National as they defeated Aberdeen Little League 19-5 in four innings.
Their next opponent was the Mercer Island Little League all-stars. Mercer Island also went undefeated in their dis-trict tournament, out-scoring their opponents 48-10 in five games. They opened the state tourna-ment with a 15-2 win over West Plains.
Things went Mercer Is-land’s way in the matchup as they beat Federal Way National 13-4. The loss meant that Federal Way would need seven consecutive wins to win the championship. Mercer Island would only need three.
Greater Richland Little League’s all-stars were the first team Federal Way National faced in the loser’s bracket. Federal Way National defeated them in a close 6-4 game.
Against Salmon Creek Little League in their next game, a walk-off hit gave them the 4-3 win to keep their hopes alive.
The next two games saw Federal Way National trail by multiple runs. Down 3-1 in the final in-ning to Bainbridge Island Little League, the Federal Way National team scored five runs to pull off the 6-3 victory.
Camas Little League jumped out to a 9-4 lead in the first three innings. They batted through the order in the first inning. It wasn’t enough for them. The final 11 runs went to Federal Way National as they won 15-9, eliminat-ing Camas.
The win earned them a semi-final matchup against Walla Walla Valley Little League. Walla Walla Valley had won their first three matchups of the
tournament by a score of 36-1 before falling 5-3 to Mercer Island.
Federal Way National earned their second mercy rule victory of the tournament with a 14-3 victory in five innings, earning them a spot in the championship. They still needed two wins over Mercer Island to claim the championship.
The first game saw Federal Way National take the lead and not look back after the second in-ning. With the game tied 1-1 and runners on first and second after walks, R’Mani Adams brought home both runners and scored himself on a play that resulted in both a hit and an error.
They drove in two more runs in the fourth and ended up winning 6-3, forcing a winner-take-all game on the 26th.
It was another close game for Federal Way National. They scored four runs in the top of the first and Mercer Island responded with three of their own. They tied it at 4-4 in the third inning.
Federal Way National scored another three runs in the fourth inning. Mer-cer Island matched those three runs in the fifth to tie the game at 7-7.
In the final inning, the Federal Way National bats stayed hot as they added four runs to push their lead to 11-7.
Mercer Island was able to score one run and loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning. All three runners were left stranded as Federal Way National recorded the final out and took home the state championship.
“They refused to believe they would not win,” team bookkeeper Romi Af-ework wrote in an email. “They stunned us all with their ‘why not us’ attitude. It was especially cool how the beautiful little town of Montesano got behind us and cheered us on.”
The team’s roster included the following players: R’Mani Adams, Isaiah Afework, Braden Bedell, Jack Bergstrom, Matt Blackmon, Brett El-lingson, Aidan Graham, Isaiah Henning, Kayla Johnson, Jayden Lee, Jack Maclaren, Jaiden Orchard and Ricardo Osses-Watson. Danny Graham was the manager and Bill Bedell and Doug Orchard were coaches.

Former Decatur baseball player signs to universityFROM STAFF REPORTS

BEFORE AFTER
Federal Way author inspires through her writing
April Knight has travelled the world, panned for gold in
the mountains and opened her own art galleries.
In “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive,” Knight wrote in her short story, “Braver than Super-man”, her life was not always filled with adventure.
“As a little kid I was scared of my teacher, I was scared of my parents, I was scared of the school bullies, I was scared of everything,” Knight said. “Finally, I got to a point in my life when I just got tired of being scared and decided I would just go for things.”
Knight wanted to be like her hero, Superman, but felt that as a scrawny kid it was impossible.
She eventually thought she needed to be more brave than Superman
because he had nothing to worry about other than Kryptonite.
She began her journey to become more brave than Superman by opening an art gallery. It failed as she sold a single frame from a painting and had to close the gallery.
The failure was actually just what she need-ed. She realized failing did not mean she would never be successful.
The next time she opened a gallery, she sold enough to pay for a
trip to Australia.“There comes a time in
your life when you just have to go for it,” Knight said. “It’s not the end of the world if it doesn’t work. You only fail if you don’t try at all to do something.”
Adventures around the world followed her first big
failure. She rode in rodeos,
drove a stagecoach in a frontier town and rode on circus elephants among other things.
Knight now hopes that others can experience the same lessons and be en-couraged by her writing.
At the age of 13, Knight wrote her first published
piece to a magazine. She knew then that she wanted to write. She has been pub-lished in over 30 Chicken Soup for the Soul books and has written other books
as well.“My favorite thing to
write is murder myster-ies,” Knight said. “I don’t write the real gory, terrible murders that make you cringe. I like more like the Agatha Christie type with the puzzle you have to work out. I love being able to fool people when I write a mystery.”
Currently, she is work-ing on a romance book for those 60 and older.
In the near future she is hoping to write a western that draws from her child-hood when she grew up on ranches.
“Anybody can write,” Knight said. “Places like Chicken Soup are a good place to get started. They get you in print, they give you encouragement, you get paid and you can say ‘I’ve been published.’ You get rejected sometimes of course, but even the Harry Potter series was rejected like 12 times before it was published.”
Knight was raised in Kansas and has lived in Hawaii.
She moved to Federal Way to be closer to family.
Her murder mystery “Dig the Grave First” was recently published.
April Knight holds “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Time to Thrive,” a book she was recently published in. Knight has been published in 35 “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books. TERRENCE HILL, the Mirror

Police officer injured in motorcycle accident
A Federal Way police officer sustained a serious leg injury from a motorcycle collision on Tuesday afternoon.
Trooper Rick Johnson with Washington State Patrol said the officer, who was riding a motorcycle, was re-sponding to a burglary on 16th Avenue South.
As he approached a red light with his sirens on, he was struck by a vehicle traveling eastbound just before 4:30 p.m.
Cathy Schrock, a Federal Way police spokeswoman, said both lanes of 16th Avenue South were closed from South 344th Street to South 348th Street as the scene was investigated by Washington State Patrol.
“From all of us at the Federal Way Police Department, thank you for your kind words and support of our mo-torcycle officer Grant Bassett that was seriously injured yesterday in a collision,” Schrock wrote in an email to the community on Wednesday. “He is surrounded by his relatives and police family. We are hopeful for a full recovery.”
It is unknown at this time whether the driver who struck the officer is considered liable or not.
BY RAECHEL DAWSON
Federal Way detectives, working with the King County Prosecutors Office, are thoroughly investi-gating this case and will determine the facts and circumstances surround-ing this crime.
Police closed a portion
of First Avenue South to process the shooting scene and interviewed witnesses.
Anyone with informa-tion regarding this crime is encouraged to contact the Federal Way Police Department’s criminal investigations section at 253-835-6799.

Kaylin “KK” Burns is best friends with Momma Lynch — yes, the Momma Lynch.
“She knows him as Momma Lynch’s baby, not as Beastmode,” said Kaylin’s mother, Jessica Eaton Burns, referring to Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch.
And Ben Obomanu, a former Seahawks wide receiver, is affectionately called Uncle Obo.
“He was at the hospital when she was born,” Eaton Burns said.
The Burns and the Seahawks have stayed
connected through Kaylin’s father’s company Just KB Promotions, an organiza-tion that connects special talent, specifically the Seahawks, to charity efforts around the region.
The company has helped victims of the Oso land-slide, collected Army care packages and has raised thousands of dollars from organizing Seahawks auto-graphs and shirt giveaways, among other good deeds.
But the Burns never would have guessed they would be on the receiving end of good deeds such as those.
Nearly $14,000 in debt from medical bills, the
Burns have been strug-gling to stay afloat as they care for Kaylin and her two hemangioma tumors, both benign, she was born with.
With anywhere from seven to eight doctors, Kay-lin regularly sees a neuro-surgeon, physical therapist, has a $2,500 annual MRI and several other checkups to ensure her tumors aren’t growing and she’s learning how to cope with them and a tethered spine.
To help the family, family friend Jessica Stoneback helped organize a car wash benefit with the owner of Jersey’s Sports Bar, who also agreed to donate food for a breakfast.
Stoneback said although she’s known about Kaylin’s tumors for a couple of years, she felt the need to do more after she found out Kaylin was supposed to have an MRI but it was delayed because her family didn’t have money at the time.
“It doesn’t matter what your bills are,” Stoneback said. “She has to have her test. Every year, she has to have her MRI and neuro-logical testing. About six months ago, Kenny started driving Uber to help pay for the bills.”
When Kenny Burns is
not helping with the charity, he’s managing the 76 gas station by the airport and Eaton Burns works from home as a bookkeeper.
Which is why the fam-ily doesn’t qualify for any financial aid, Eaton Burns said.
Family friend Greg Woodfill also created a gofundme.com account for Kaylin with the hopes of raising the full $14,000. So far, $1,332 has been donated.
“Kenny Burns has always been there for his friends,” Woodfill wrote in an email. “He’ll give you the shirt off
of his back if you need it. I’ve observed many ask for help from him, but never seen him ask for help him-self. It’s not in him to ask.”
Woodfill said many people don’t realize the family’s struggles, but if they did know, many would step forward to help.
“Couple that with the up-lifting affect this child has on you — everyone loves her — this is why I decided to ask others if they would help,” he said.
One month after Kaylin’s birth, a traumatic C-section for Eaton Burns, her family

found out about the hemangioma tumors.“It looked like strawberry marks,” Eaton
Burns said. “Like a rash on her butt crack and inside, it curved a little.”
Her doctor recommended she go to a dermatologist, who recommended she go to a neurosurgeon.
Kaylin’s first MRI was less than four months after she was born. Today, she’s had seven MRIs since she was 2 years old.
“Right when the doctor walked in, he said, ‘Sit down … plan on this being the next 20 years of your life,’” she recalled. “And I fired that neurosurgeon and got a new one at Seattle Children’s Hospital.”
Eaton Burns said she will not accept that type of mentality for her daughter.
Kaylin’s internal tumor is intertwined in her spinal chord. They won’t be touch-ing that one, she said. That tumor has its own blood feeding source and Eaton Burns estimates it’s the size of a half-dollar.
Because of the tumor, Kaylin’s spine is already two inches shorter than normal. She regularly goes to physical therapy to strengthen her right leg.
“When she plays with other kids, she knows she’s a little bit different and can’t do everything they can do,” Eaton Burns said, noting games like balancing on curbs or balance beams.
If she starts dragging her right foot, the family will need to take her to the emer-gency room.
For the external hemangioma tumor, they’ve been able to do laser treatments and have experimented with medication to reduce the size, color and ulceration.
But the biggest fear is that her chord could snap, leaving her paralyzed.
“We won’t know until she’s done grow-ing,” Eaton Burns said, adding it could be well into her 20s.
Until then, the soon-to-be kindergartner at Nautilus Elementary is perfectly content playing pretend games of victim/doctor, Barbies and being Momma Lynch’s “BFF.”
In fact, as part of the car wash benefit, Eaton Burns anticipates shirts for sale that read “Don’t be jealous because Kaylin’s my BFF.”
In addition to the T-shirts, car wash and breakfast, Stoneback said a signed Seahawks football, Seahawks jewelry, pre-season tickets to the Seahawks vs. Raiders game and baskets will be available at an auction during the benefit. Seahawks play-ers may also show up as well.
The car wash and breakfast benefit to help the Burns will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 2 at Jersey’s Sports Bar, located at 35509 21st Ave. SW in Federal Way.

County executive honors 7 Federal Way workplacesFROM STAFF REPORTS
Businesses small and large across King County are being honored for their com-mitment to recycling and waste prevention – diverting tons of recyclable materials from the landfill and saving resources.
Federal Way honorees include the city of Federal Way; Cove East Apartments; Fed-eral Way Naturopathy, Inc.; Frito Lay, Inc.; Kennedy/Jenks Consultants, Inc.; Marlene’s Market and Deli and Weyerhaeuser.
The King County Solid Waste Division and (King) Executive Dow Constantine are honoring 112 Best Workplaces for Waste Prevention and Recycling this year, recog-nizing businesses and organizations that are going the extra mile to reduce waste and increase recycling.
“These companies deserve special rec-ognition for demonstrating their ingenuity and commitment in preventing waste,” said Constantine. “From composting in lunch-rooms to reusing packing materials, they’re showing that sustainability can be simple and rewarding.”
The “Best Workplaces” list has been cel-ebrating waste prevention and recycling in local businesses for nine years and features a wide array of businesses in King County, including hospitality, medical services, professional services, technology, retail, fi-nance, government, arts and entertainment and others. Companies that have made the list five years in a row are recognized with an honor roll designation. This year, 29
businesses joined the “Best Workplaces” list for the first time.
The organizations on the list this year de-veloped innovative ways to be eco-friendly and sustainable, including:

The state shut down a Federal Way daycare on Friday after neighbors found an abandoned toddler wander-ing the streets on July 22.
Police responded at 6 p.m. to a report of a toddler found crying and roaming the neighborhood. A neigh-bor, who found the toddler an hour prior to police arrival, recognized
the boy from the nearby Kinder-Start daycare located at 2652 SW 332nd St., according to the police report.
Ten minutes after the boy was found, a childcare provider from Kinder-Start arrived to pick up the child in a van with “Kinder” writ-ten on the side. The child and the childcare provider left before police arrived on the scene.
While the neighbor released the child to the childcare provider, they
told police they wanted the parents of the child informed about what happened.
Police attempted to contact the childcare provider at Kinder-Start multiple times between July 22 and 23, but were unable able to get in contact with them.
The van was not seen at the residence on either day when police attempted to contact the childcare provider.
The following is a sample from the Federal Way police log:Men kick homeless man, steal woman’s purse: At 2:20 a.m. on July 26 at 2302 S. 320th St., a group of men assaulted a man and stole a woman’s purse at a McDonald’s parking lot. The 61-year-old woman was leaving the fast food joint when she no-ticed a disturbance — about five to six men kicking another man, who was lying on the ground. The woman asked the men what they were doing. With one continuing to go through the man’s pockets, they stopped. However, a man with a ski mask got up and walked to a white car that had a woman inside. He turned around and walked toward the woman and started yelling at her. After some threats and a struggle, the man stole her purse and she went back into McDonald’s.Before police arrived, the man being kicked walked away from the scene but police were able to find him. They identified him as a 23-year-old homeless man. Although he declined medical attention and to give a written statement, he believes someone stole $15 from him and, ultimately, he had a hard time remembering what happened. He later disclosed he had recently “gotten high.” When police asked him to show his pockets to see if anything was missing, he began to cry and left.The man who stole the woman’s purse is described as a Hispanic man, 5-feet 7-inches, under 30 years old with a “chunky” build. He wore a black ski mask, a red hoodie and black shorts or pants.Man busted for bus fees: At 5:34 a.m. on July 26 in the 2000 block of S. 320th St., a man was arrested for not paying $500 worth of bus fare in Seattle. The man had a warrant and was booked into SCORE jail. He had $920 on him when he was arrested.Stepfather punches teenage boy: At 12:53 a.m. on July 26 in an unknown block of S. 327th Lane, a mother called police after learning her 17-year-old son was punched by his stepfather. When police interviewed the boy, he said the two were arguing about his stepfa-ther using his possessions without permission. The boy got in his face and then the stepfather punched him on the left side of his face. The boy’s mother said there’s a history of abuse towards her but this was
the first time the man struck her son. She also stated the man is homeless and stays with friends. It was unclear whether the two are still married or not.Sister slams brother’s head on table: At 1:34 p.m. on July 26 in the 32500 block of 17th Ave. SW, a 17-year-old girl was arrested for slamming her 14-year-old brother’s head into a table, which left the boy with a bloody nose. The two were arguing until it became physical when the brother made a comment about his sister’s diabetes. She rushed at him into the computer room, where she assaulted him. After police were called, the girl fled the scene but police found her at a park and she was taken to King County Juvenile Detention.Man steals, damages panhan-dler’s property: At 6:34 p.m. on July 26 in the 31200 block of Pacific Highway S., a panhandler’s jacket was stolen and his cane broken. The man left his Army-style jacket with $6 in the pocket and his walking cane near a bush while he begged for money. As he did this, he told police a stranger took his jacket, broke his cane in half and ran away. The panhandler told police he couldn’t chase the stranger because he doesn’t walk well without his cane. After calling 911, he requested to be taken to St. Francis Hospital so he could get a new cane. Hospital staff confirmed he wasn’t injured.Bomb threats at movie the-ater: At 7:41 p.m. on July 26 at 1928 S. Commons, police searched the mall after someone reported a man had made bomb threats to the Century movie theater. The reporting party told police a man in his 30s, about 5-feet 8 inches tall with a brown beard, dressed in camouflage was washing his pocket knife in the men’s restroom when he made vague threats about “something bad” happen-ing in the theater that night. He was pushing a red bicycle. Police couldn’t find the man but told mall security to call 911 if he returned.Drunk man removed from bar: At 12:03 a.m. on July 25 at 35509 21st Ave. SW, police were called to a fight at Jersey’s Sports Bar. Security asked a man to leave the bar because he was too intoxicated. But the man became belligerent and refused to leave. Security guards forcefully removed him and, as they did so, the man struck his head on a door frame. He sustained minor cuts on the left side of his neck and head but was treated on scene by South King Fire and Rescue. The man went home in a taxi.Man threatens suicide: At 12:55 a.m. on July 25 in the
2100 block of SW 352nd St., a 23-year-old man was involuntarily committed. The man’s 25-year-old girlfriend had called 911 because her boyfriend made suicidal threats and held a gun to his own head. After police arrived and he exited the apartment building with his hands above his head, he was handcuffed and taken to St. Francis Hospital. A shotgun, pistol and bow and arrows were placed into evidence for safekeeping.Graffiti artist caught under bridge: At 8:27 a.m. on July 25 in the 3600 block of SW Dash Point Road, police arrested a 25-year-old man for spray painting under a bridge. A witness called 911 because they had heard sounds of spray paint coming from under the Southwest Dash Point bridge over-pass near Dumas Bay Center. Of-ficers found the suspect, a 34-year-old man and a 28-year-old woman under the bridge. One graffiti artist had scaled about one-fourth of the length of the bridge. When asked what he liked to graffiti, he replied “political and religious” tags, specifically “Possessing Sacred Knowledge or PSK.” The other two people were released from custody. The man arrested said he had no idea it was illegal to spray paint under the bridge and that he had “been coming here for years with no problem.” However, police noted he has had several previous arrests for vandalism and graffiti. Charges were forwarded to the prosecutor.Seizing driver crashes: At 2:10 p.m. on July 25 in the 2400 block of S. Star Lake Road, a driver had a seizure and crashed into the River Stone apartment complex sign. The driver was traveling eastbound on South 272nd Street and was treated at the scene by South King Fire and Rescue before being taken to St. Francis Hospital.Children left unattended: At 3:38 p.m. on July 25 in the 32100 block of 20th Lane SW, a case was forward to Child Protective Services after a Maple Hills Apart-ment manager called police. An 11-year-old girl had come to the apartment management office with her 7-year-old brother and 18-month-old brother asking to use the phone.The police officer spoke to the girl, who told him she has been watch-ing her brothers for six months while her mom works in Renton. The girl led the officer to her apart-ment, who discovered the door was wide open. The girl said she always locks the door when she leaves but didn’t notice it was open when they entered the apartment.She told the officer she went to the apartment office to make sure the phone was available in case of an emergency because her cell phone
is not active. The officer noted she appeared panicked by the thought of an emergency and “her face flushed and her eyes started to water” at the thought of it. But the home had food, toys and clean clothing for the children. The mother returned 45 minutes after she was called by police.Elementary school tagged with graffiti: At 7:20 a.m. on July 24 in the 2600 block of SW 327th St., a person reported some-one had marked on walls, fences and utility boxes at Olympic View Elementary. The estimated cost to paint over the graffiti is about $450, according to the police report. The witness also reported graffiti outside of school grounds on poles and city speed limit signs, estimated to cost $100. However, there are no suspect leads at this time.Shoplifter threatens with knife: At 3:35 p.m. on July 24 in the 34500 block of 16th Ave. S., a man was arrested for attempt-ing to steal several items from Walmart. When Loss Prevention confronted him, he pulled out a knife from his belt and said, “Don’t make me do it!” The suspect tried to make two “swipes” at a Loss Prevention representative but missed. He was “overcome and held until” police arrived.Police find drug parapherna-lia in car: At 10:45 p.m. on July 24 in the 32500 block of Pacific Highway S., a 38-year-old man was arrested for driving with a suspended license, failure to transfer a car title within 45 days and drug paraphernalia posses-sion. After the man was arrested for the license suspension and title transfer, the officer saw two glass pipes inside an open hard plastic pocket on the driver’s side door. The officer believes the pipes are commonly used to smoke meth-amphetamine. However, the sus-pect said the pipes did not belong to him and he was just borrowing the vehicle.Police find bag of drugs, pipe in shoe: At 4:18 a.m. on July 23 in the 33800 block of First Way S., a man was arrested for a misde-meanor warrant but after police searched him, they found a small baggy of tin foil. The man admit-ted it was for methamphetamine. After he was sent to jail, he told police that he had a meth pipe in his shoe.Foster son pushes woman, makes threats: At 9:25 a.m. on July 23 in the 1100 block of S. 376th St., a 14-year-old boy was arrested for pushing his foster mother and threatening to hit her with a bowling ball. The boy’s foster mother said it all started when the boy woke up early and
wanted to do laundry. After telling him to wait until everyone else got up, he got upset and started to smash packages of laundry detergent into the carpet around the house.He ripped the motion detector out of her alarm system out of the wall and also threw a glass into the yard, breaking it. His foster mother told him to eat breakfast and take his mental health medications – four different types, twice a day. But he refused to eat. Eventually, he took his medication. Later on, they left the house and were on their way to Seattle for a mental health appointment but he de-manded to play his Nintendo DS. She told him they agreed to wait until later in the day but he got upset and she had to pull over on the side of the road.They agreed she would take him home to complete his laundry and if he was able to finish his laundry, he could play his Nintendo on the way to the appointment. But after they were home and he was do-ing his laundry, he became upset again. He was frustrated the dryer would not dry his clothes and he began to continuously slam the dryer door. His foster mother tried to stop him from damaging the appliance but he pushed her. He then went outside and kicked a jug of windshield wiper fluid under a vehicle parked in their driveway. He picked up a cloth bag containing a bowling ball and told his foster mother he was going to hit her with it.It was at this time the mother got in the car and moved it as she called 911. He had been swinging it around and she was afraid he would damage the vehicle. While inside her car, she saw the boy act as though he was drinking the windshield wiper fluid but be-lieves he was faking it. After police arrived, they requested the boy be involuntarily committed, but the foster mother said he had already been committed three times and it hadn’t helped. She decided to press charges. The boy was taken to a juvenile detention center and will be switching foster families.Boy kicks mom in head: At 2:21 p.m. on July 23 at 33325 Eighth Ave. S., a 14-year-old boy
was arrested for kicking his mother in the back of the head and calling her rude names in the parking lot of City Hall. The boy’s dad flagged down an officer in the parking lot to tell them about the assault. When the officer approached the family’s car, the boy was talking to his mom in a disrespectful manner and said he hadn’t kicked her, only that he was “tapping the b*** on the shoulder to wake up.”But the mother said she had pain from the assault and the boy was arrested. He was shocked he was arrested and tried several times to explain he was just “tapping the b***.” After police placed him in the patrol car, he complained it was too hot and they opened the dividing glass between the front and the back so air conditioning could reach him. However, after a few minutes of interviewing his parents, they noticed he was trying to escape.He made it through to the front and tried to run but fell and was detained on the ground. Now facing potential charges for trying to escape, a lieutenant decided to walk him to the police station. As they were walking through the main entrance, he slumped to the ground and started to kick and pull away. He stated he wasn’t going to jail for “tapping the b***” and started to cry.Police tried to get AMR to transport him to juvenile detention but they refused after he had calmed down. They put him in a patrol vehicle to take him but he continued to kick and bang his head inside the car. As a result, the police report states he sustained bruises and abrasions on his head. When they arrived at juvenile detention, staff said they were familiar with the boy.Boys admit to smiley face graffiti: At 5:56 p.m. on July 22 in the 29600 block of 18th Ave. S., two boys admitted to painting a smiley face on the curb at the back side of a dumpster. They told police they were spray painting wood for a project and sprayed the curb in the process. Police explained that it was against the law and consid-ered malicious mischief to graffiti. They responded that they would never do it again.

Bomb threat prompts police to search mall
State shutters daycare after toddler found wandering streetsBY TERRENCE HILL
CRIME ALERTThis week’s…
Police Blotter
A SeaTac man was re-cently charged with two counts of child
molestation after groping two girls at Wild Waves.
Bail was set for $100,000 for MD R. Islam, 37, who was arrested after two girls at Wild Waves accused him
of touching and grabbing their breasts on July 18.
An 11-year-old girl and a 15-year-old girl reported the fondling at 5 p.m. that day to Wild Waves security.
After police arrived, the younger girl told police she allegedly saw Islam swim-ming underwater in front of her — the water was up to her neck — when he
grabbed her breast over her bathing suit.
“I have never seen this man before,” the victim told the officer, according to the charging documents. “I felt very alarmed in how he grabbed me.”
The 15-year-old told police she was with her boyfriend at Wild Waves, having a good time, when
she felt someone squeeze her breast.
“I knew it wasn’t an acci-dent because his hand went under my bathing suit and he grabbed it for a few min-utes [sic] and I saw that he was doing it to other young girls as well,” the victim stated. “I felt very violated and I felt very uncomfort-able around him.”
Both assaults allegedly oc-curred in the wave pool.
Once Islam was arrested, the police report states his family members walked up to police and asked about his arrest. They told the of-ficers Islam’s native language was Bengali and an officer called on an interpreter.
However, the suspect did not understand the transla-
tor when he read him his Miranda Rights. After at least three tries, the officers went forward with the arrest and took him to SCORE jail.
Islam was released from jail on July 20 but returned to court on July 22, when he was charged with one count of first-degree child molesta-tion and one count of third-degree child molestation.
Islam was ordered not to have contact with the vic-tims or any minors except in the presence of an adult.
dog owner and parent, am so very tired of hearing about these inhumane actions. If there are any consequences at all they are far too lean in fa-vor of the culprit/s. If it is not up to us, the general public, to do something meaningful about these terrible acts then who will ever do something to help stop these acts of foolishness and total lack of consideration? These people deserve no quarter and should be recipients of heavy fines and jail time – even the first offense! This lack of con-sideration for others and ani-mals is no small matter and has been and will continue to
be fatal in consequence.Let us demand that our
state legislators adopt laws and fines commensurate with these terrible crimes. Write your state represen-tatives and ask that they strengthen the existing laws and/or create new laws as needed to protect our pets and children.LC Campbell, Federal way
Mr. Federal Way is wrong about choice schools
Mr. Federal Way recently wrote an article deriding a group of parents and com-
munity members that was asking the school district to look at options for expanding choice programs. I was one of those parents/community members and wanted an opportunity to respond to clarify what we are trying to do.
Mr. Federal Way asserted that it would cost too much to allow families to choose the appropriate programs for their children.
It’s unclear what proposals Mr. Federal Way is consid-ering when he makes this general assertion. The truth is, I do not think we have any idea what it would cost or save at this point. That’s
the reason we are asking for a committee to be formed to investigate the options. Here is why we think that there may be cost-neutral options, yet allow more families to get their first choice education for their children:
1. We are not asking for more kids to be added to the district. At the end of the day, there will be the same num-ber of children in the district. We are just advocating mov-ing kids from their second and third choice programs to their first choice programs.
2. We are not necessarily asking for a new building purchase. There are mul-tiple options that are being
thrown around for where programs can be housed including the top floor of the district building to housing the programs on existing campuses.
3. As far as I know, the FWPA and TAF kids don’t require any special equip-ment or facility that would incur additional costs.
4. My understanding is that the biggest budget line item in our schools is personnel costs. If you look at Student/Teacher Ratio, FWPA and TAF are on the less expensive side of middle schools in terms of staffing costs. These choice programs do not require higher staff costs. Among junior high schools in the FWPS, Stu-dent-to-teacher ratios range from 14 to 18. The aforesaid schools are both 17.
With that said, shuffling boundaries and kids into different programs would take a lot of effort. Perhaps, Mr. Federal Way may be arguing that there are higher priorities in our school dis-trict than allowing families to choose their first choice pro-
gram for their children… like graduation rates or increas-ing percentage of students meeting standards. These are definitely high priorities. However, if we only prioritize students that are struggling, those families looking for a better education will migrate out of the district, leaving us with less families willing to invest their time and money into our school district.
Mr. Federal Way sug-gests that we put effort into improving the public schools that are already established and open our pocketbooks. I agree. I believe every person that showed up to the school board meeting to advocate this issue is involved with their local schools – in the PTSA, in various activity clubs, coaching sports, at their fundraisers, etc.
Mr. Federal Way is correct in that these are the ways to improve schools. We just need to attract more people who are willing and able. The way to attract them is by making room for them in our best choice programs. Don Hyun, Federal Way

SeaTac man charged in Wild Waves child molestations
Police searching for car thief who drove through DUI rollover accident
Federal Way police are searching for a man who drove a stolen car through the scene of a DUI-related rollover crash on Monday.
At 11:07 p.m. on Sunday, police officers saw a 22-year-old man driving a Chevy Trailblazer recklessly on Pacific Highway South. Going southbound, the man was
speeding, tailgating and quickly changing lanes multiple times, according to Cathy Schrock, a spokeswoman for the Federal Way Police Department.
“Due to the manner in which the driver was driving, it was believed the driver was driving under the influence,” Schrock wrote in an email. “Upon attemps to stop the ve-hicle, using both emergency lights and sirens on a fully marked police vehicle, the suspect began to elude.”
The man passed two vehicles in no pass-ing zones and sped away until he lost control in a sharp right curve on South Dash Point Road. His car crashed into a guardrail and came to a rest upside down.
But while police were at the crash site, another man drove through at about 1:15 a.m. on Monday. Officers ordered the man to turn off the car and provide identification, but he refused and quickly drove through the accident scene.
Officers took the license plate number down and learned the stolen silver Ford Taurus he was driving belonged to a woman in Marysville.
A search for the stolen vehicle ensued with the help of Des Moines and Kent police departments, however, they could not find the suspect.
The man who stole the vehicle is de-scribed as an African-American man between 20-30 years old.

Driver crashes into power pole, seriously injured during police pursuitFROM STAFF REPORTS
Thousands of residents lost power on July 23 when a wanted felon fled from Des Moines police, crashed his vehicle into a power pole in Federal Way and then seri-ously injured himself after jumping out of a third-story apartment window.
The pursuit began at approximately 9:43 p.m., when Valley Communication notified police that a 34-year-old Des Moines man, who has an outstanding Department of
Corrections felony warrant, fled from Des Moines police after officers attempted to stop him.
The man fled in his vehicle south from Des Moines and dispatch notified Federal Way police.
A Federal Way officer observed a vehicle and subject matching the description at ap-proximately 9:47 p.m. southbound on 18th Avenue South in Federal Way. The subject drove normally until reaching 18th Avenue South and Pacific Highway South, when he
accelerated northbound on Pacific Highway South in an apparent attempt to get away from the officer, according to Federal Way police.
Police attempted to stop the driver and another pursuit ensued, until the man’s car collided with a power pole in the 35200 block of 21st Ave. SW. The man fled from the vehicle west bound into the West Point Apartment complex. Officers lost sight of the subject and began to establish a perim-eter around the complex. An officer heard
glass breakage on the east side of one of the units and went to investigate. Police discov-ered that the man leaped from a third-story apartment window and seriously injured himself. Officers provided aid until medics arrived on scene and took over. King County Medic One responded and transported the man to Harborview Medical Center with serious injuries. Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact the Federal Way Criminal Investigations Section at 253-835-6780.

The Federal Way Service Club Network recently stepped up to the plate to answer the Multi-Service Center’s call for the Summer Meals Drive. The Service Club Network includes General Federation of Women’s Clubs, Soroptimist International, Rotary, Ki-wanis, Lions, AAUW, VFW, Job’s Daughters, Fusion, Masonic Lodge and Reach Out shelters.
The first of three dona-tions was made on June 10, following the club’s monthly meeting. Members brought a large assortment of food items plus lunch bags and
napkins, totaling approxi-mately 75 pounds.
Summer means less access to food for many children in the community. Families who receive free and reduced meals at school struggle to find a way to replace those meals during school vacation months. It is also a time where food bank resources are low.
The Federal Way Service Club Network’s July dona-tion was delivered on July 8, and the Aug. 12 donation will conclude the summer meal donations.
This is the second time that the Federal Way Service Club Network has provided supplies and kid-friendly
food for the summer months.
Here are some of the suggested meal donations
being accepted if you would like to contribute to the food drive: fruit cups, snack crackers, 100 percent juice boxes, graham crackers, bags of nuts (peanuts, almonds) granola bars and jars of peanut butter, jelly, jam and mayonnaise.
They may be dropped off at the City hall lobby, or at the Multi-Service Center.
