The same developers who built the Mill Creek Town Center and Snohomish Station are building a 1.6 million-square-foot project in the Smokey Point area that will bring a new wave of shops and apartments.

The project includes a 910,000-square-foot shopping center called The Market-place and 723,000 square feet of mixed use space that will include multifamily apartments called The Lodge.

The development is expected to open this fall on the north side of 172nd Street NE. Bellevue developers Steve Malsam and Len Evans are teaming up on the project.

“We are very excited with our newest center, following our Mill Creek Town Center and Snohomish Station develop-ments,” Malsam said. “With our high-end multi-family projects at Lakewood, we will be creating a unique mixed-use project that the Marysville community will be proud of. The city of Marysville has been very helpful in putting all of this together.”

Malsam declined to place a monetary value on the entire development.

Tenants for the The Marketplace include Dick’s Sporting Goods as a major anchor, along with Party City, Hop Jack’s restaurant, Outback Steakhouse and Bonefish, which will share the same grill in a single building, plus a Hobby Lobby, T-Mobile, Aveda Hair Salon and a Qdoba Mexican restaurant.

City inspectors are expected to give approval in September for the Dick’s Sporting Goods to open, but it will likely take a couple more months for staff to be hired and trained.

The Lodge includes 182 apartments that are leasing now; a second phase with another eight buildings and 160 apart-ments will undergo construction in the spring. Another developer, The Island

Group in Spokane, is building The Vin-tage, 187 apartments adjacent to the shopping center. Those units are aimed at people 55 and older.

The Vintage will provide needed diver-sity in housing for north Snohomish County, said Sydney Parmalee, senior

community director for the project.“There’s no other independent senior

living building in the area,” she said. “We’re already pre-leasing space ahead of the completed construction. The first units should be available in late Sep-tember in both one- and two-bedroom styles.”

The Vintage will include common areas with a mini-mart, theater, social room library and other facilities. The development has four-story buildings.

The Lodge Apartments are due to be ready in late September. The devel-opment consists of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, with contem-porary conveniences in a lodge environ-ment, including a pool and a community center with a fireplace.

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring said he welcomes the innovative major retail and housing development at Smokey Point.

“People want to shop locally so we continue to diversify to give them more commercial opportunities to shop in Marysville and keep spending in town,” Nehring said. “We have a vibrant com-munity and the new housing here will

serve seniors as well as families. ”Nehring noted that the new devel-

opment is across the street from the well-established Lakewood Crossing shopping center, anchored by Best Buy, Costco, Target and a variety of other stores.

“We’re very cognizant of the fact that this development will create more traf-fic and that has to be dealt with,” he said. “With the state, we’re planning an Inter-state 5 interchange where an overpass was built a few years ago at 156th Street NE and we may eventually add a new road south of 172nd Street NE but these proj-ects are years away yet.”

In the meantime, the city will be doing some traffic signal improvements at 27th Avenue and along the Highway 531 frontage road and the developer will be installing a roundabout on 172nd Street NE, Nehring said.

Marysville planning manager Chris Holland said plans call for re-routing 25th Avenue to move its intersection with 172nd St. NE farther from the congested entrance to Lakewood Crossing.

Malsam and Evans have a highly suc-cessful history in commercial and housing developments in the Puget Sound area as well as Snohomish County.

Malsam launched Malsam Devel-opment Corp. in 1991, developing multi-family housing projects in Red-mond, Kirkland and Issaquah.

Evans is president of The Evans Co., which owns or manages 530,000 square feet of office space and more than 120,000 square feet of commercial space in Bellevue, Redmond and Woodinville.

He’s also involved in ownership of a variety of companies, including Bellevue Helicopters, Evans Films, Evans Energy and Evans Center, a 30,000-square-foot retail and industrial complex in Bellevue.

In 1996, the developers formed Wake-field, a real estate company that built the Mill Creek Town Center, Snohomish Sta-tion and 500 apartments in Marysville for the U.S. Navy.


The Vintage, a 55-and-older community, is one of two large apartment projects opening at Smokey Point adding hundreds of new homes to the area.

Several new stores and restaurants are expected to open in a 910,000-square-foot shopping center at Smokey Point, including Dick’s Sporting Goods, Outback Steakhouse, Hop Jack’s, Bonefish and Qdoba. The project is on the north side of 172nd Street NE across from Lakewood Cross shopping center.

Cheryl Dillon’s Be Well Farm.Closer inspection

reveals hidden wealth — a bright-green row of mustard greens and the darker, pur-ple-green leaves of kale. There are sun-chokes and leeks, parsnips, carrots and onions.

Dillon bends and plucks a flower from the tip of a mustard green at her knee, popping it in her mouth and inviting her visitor to do the same. It tastes of spring-time — fresh and crisp, with a lingering sweetness.

In her fourth year of farming, Dillon, 55, is part of a growing wealth of women who seem to be embracing farming as a second career.

Locally the number of women respon-sible for day-to-day farm operations has been increasing for more than a decade, with 33 percent of farms in Snohomish

County run by women in 2012, accord-ing to the USDA Census of Agriculture. That’s up from 31 percent in 2007 and 26 percent in 2002.

Nationally, the number of women farmers has also been rising, but at a much slower rate and with a slight dip between 2007 and 2012. Four-

teen percent of 2.1 million U.S. farms were run by women in 2012, with higher numbers on the East and West coasts and lower in the Midwest.

Like their male counterparts, women farmers are increasingly older. The aver-age age of women farmers in Snohomish County was 54.1 years in 2007 and 56.5 in 2012, compared to 60.1 nationwide in 2012.

For women, that upward trend in age may be partially a result of coming to farming as a second career. Some women in the 55-plus age category, retired from white-collar careers, may have dreamed about farming as a form of retirement,

speculated Paul Gleason, resource con-servationist with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Lake Stevens.

“These are people who kind of want to step back from the rat-race,” he said, “and do something more romantic.”

Dillon voiced a similar sentiment.

“You do what you do to support your family and then you get to a point where you do what you’re passionate about,” she said. “And that’s kind of where I’m at.”

A country girl who’d often “wished I could have been born in pioneer days,”


Cheryl Dillon comes in from the outer fields on her tractor, a 1957 Massey Ferguson. Not all the plants Dillon grows on the farm are for the marketplace. The plants are grown for their value to the soil, attraction to desirable insects such as ladybugs and bees, and other such reasons.

DON’T LET A PAST DUI

STOP YOUR BUSINESS TRAVEL TO CANADA!

Dillon grew up in Oregon and moved to this area as a young woman, work-ing for years in real estate and raising three daughters. Now single, she lives in Edmonds and leases her farmland off Lake Stevens’ Sunnyside Boulevard from Joseph Heineck, who bought the land 50 years ago and with his wife, Peggy, still lives in the farmhouse.

Dillon uses an old shipping container for storage, which, along with a por-ta-potty, perches on the slope below Heineck’s bright-red barn, listed on the state’s site of historic barns. Bales of hay can be seen through the windows; Dillon met Heineck buying hay for her horse, pastured in a neighboring farmer’s field.

How she came to farming is the story of a series of unpredictable events.

First she lost her mother to cancer, Dil-lon said. Then she had a cancer scare of her own, with tumors that led to a hys-terectomy; the tumors proved benign, but Dillon had six weeks off work and a lot of time to think and read.

Though she’d always eaten a lot of fruits and vegetables, Dillon said, “I dis-covered that I was very ignorant, I was very unaware of organics.”

The more she read, the more she felt her calling. “I just found I was really pas-sionate about food and wanting to make a difference,” she said.

The next step for Dillon was Mother Nature’s Organics, a food-delivery service she started in May 2008, delivering local farmers’ organic produce to customers, with the idea of working in real estate at least part time while running her business.

But it was 2008 and the financial cri-sis was coming to a head. None of her houses were closing, Dillon said, “and I thought, well, I might as well just devote all my time and energy to this.” Heineck had mentioned he was thinking of leasing some land and Dillon took him up on it, first supplementing farmers’ Community Supported Agriculture boxes with some of her own produce, and recently decid-ing to go it alone as Be Well Farm.

“I want to be known as a farm,” she said, “and not as an organic delivery service.”

As women like Dillon turn to farm-ing, agricultural programs are becoming increasingly focused on giving them prac-tical information to help them succeed, said Linda Neunzig, Snohomish County agricultural coordinator who also owns and runs the 50-acre Ninety Farms in

Arlington.That’s a big change from just 10 years

when Neunzig went to her first women’s agricultural conference in Wenatchee

“It was all about how to be the wife of a farmer,” she said, adding, “I was so insulted by that first conference.”

Nowadays, women’s agricultural con-ferences are geared toward such topics as business plans and marketing tools, while outlets like farmers’ markets help feed the “eat local” movement and garner respect for farmers, male and female alike.

“When I started farming on my own, it wasn’t cool to be a farmer,” said the 52-year-old Neunzig.

Attitudes have evolved as the farm-to-table movement gathers steam; Neunzig credits local chefs with helping to create consumer interest in where food comes from and how it gets there.

Neunzig herself has been a leader in the movement and has received national recognition. A farmer since the early 1990s — after a seven-year stint working as a licensed veterinarian technician at

UC Davis — she’s been featured in Gour-met Magazine and won a “Women Who Inspire” award from the Women Chefs and Restaurateurs Organization. She’s also been a three-time U.S. delegate to Terra Madre in Italy, an annual meeting of a network of food communities repre-senting some 150 countries and commit-ted to producing quality food in a respon-sible, sustainable way.

Her short-haired Katahdin Hair Sheep, raised for their meat rather than the wool of more common sheep, supply Seat-tle-area restaurants and other custom-ers with grass-fed lamb and are shipped around the world as breeding stock. Developed in Maine during the second half of the 20th Century, Katahdin Hair Sheep barely numbered in the thousands when she started raising them, Neunzig said, but are now the fastest-growing seg-ment of sheep population in the country.

The 150 to 175 lambs born each year at Ninety Farms are born in the winter so they will be at least two months old in the spring and can take full advantage of the lush, nutrient-rich grass of the season, Neunzig said.

They are raised hormone- and antibiot-ic-free and all their manure is composted and spread back on the land. The fields are harvested to provide feed, animals are butchered on-site and consumers can buy meat on weekends at the Ninety Farms’ store. “Everything stays as close to home as possible,” Neunzig said.

According to the USDA, farms run by women tend to be not only smaller, but more diverse. Like Neunzig’s, they are more likely to focus on specialized live-stock or, like Dillon’s, on a variety of pro-duce items.

“I like to grow more unusual things,” Dillon said, “things you don’t always find in the store.”

That can range from 10 different kinds of winter and summer squash, to sun-chokes, also called Jerusalem artichokes, to purple tomatillos. She prefers heirloom varieties, she said. Snohomish County’s proximity to Seattle, and the prolifera-tion of farmers’ markets throughout the region, has a lot to do with the success of its small farmers.

“Farmers are rock stars at the farmer’s markets,” Neunzig said, and it doesn’t take a lot of land to make a difference.

“When you’re doing produce,” she said, referring to farmers like Dillon, “6 acres can feed a lot of people.”

Like Neunzig, Dillon believes in keep-ing things natural and close to home. She

“When you’re doing produce,” she said, referring to farmers like Dillon, “6 acres can feed a lot of people.”

Like Neunzig, Dillon believes in keep-ing things natural and close to home. She

adds minerals to the soil by spreading lime and kelp, and by rotating cover crops like crimson clover.

Though she is not pursuing the “organic” label for now because it costs too much, she believes produce should be grown without pesticides, purchased locally and produced locally throughout the year.

“If you go to France, they grow fresh

vegetables year-round,” she said, “and we have a very similar climate.”

With that in mind and with the aid of a federal grant, Dillon recently put up a 2,200-square-foot “hoop house,” a type of greenhouse also referred to as a “high tunnel,” on the land she leases from Heineck. Dillon is excited about the hoop house.

“It’s really going to help us extend our

season,” she said. Farming is hard work, but Dillon said she is strong and healthy — “probably from all that organic food” — and doesn’t mind.

“I love working in the dirt,” she said, “and that’s my passion.”

Such passion seems almost a require-ment in farming.

As Neunzig said, “It’s too hard of work to do it and not love it a bunch.”

Buzzing blowdryers and snipping shears are the daily melody at Evergreen Beauty College.

The Everett campus, one of three in the Puget Sound, enrolls around 130 stu-dents annually.

The 11,000-square-foot space pulses with sounds of instruction, hard work and camaraderie. There is one refrain, how-ever, that rises above all the rest.

“Mama Thi!” Thi Trieu is Evergreen’s owner and

much-loved matriarch. She sets the tone with unwavering enthusiasm and encour-agement. New students are personally welcomed. Some are second-generation and Trieu shares memories of their par-ents. A steady stream of graduates drops by to say hi.

“I am so proud of you. Where are you now, Jessica?” Trieu asks a young woman who shares news about her latest house and 4-year-old daughter. “Good. You can stay home for a week or two more, but then back to work. If you call me Mom, I will act like your mother.” Trieu says with laughter.

The school is founded on the idea of family. Trieu and her late husband opened Evergreen’s first outpost in Lynnwood in 1996 with a class of just 16 students. Nearly 20 years later, the school offers four primary curriculum tracks: cos-metology, esthetics, nails and instructor training. Companywide, upward of 300 students register annually. The Ever-ett location opened in 2002 and some individuals commute daily from as far as Blaine, Tacoma and Bremerton. Other locations are in Renton and Bellevue.

“What I hear most often is that stu-dents see Evergreen as their family. They feel safe here,” Trieu says. “We all bring our strengths and weaknesses and differ-ent experiences. It’s that mix that makes our lives better.”

Trieu is a role model for navigating adversity. She was one of nine children in her family born and raised in Vietnam. She pursued a career in teaching because “children are the promise for our future.” In 1975, South Vietnam fell to commu-nist North Vietnam and her family was forced to flee.

“My parents already immigrated from North to South Vietnam in 1955 because of communism,” Trieu says. “They knew what was coming. They told us (in 1975) that we might only have a 1 percent chance of surviving if we left, but at least it was something.”

Barefoot and without belongings, the family landed at a refugee camp in the Guam Islands. Trieu walked on cardboard to protect her feet from the scorching ground. Shortly thereafter, she and her brother were sponsored to attend Okla-homa University and her remaining fam-

ily relocated to Everett. They all reunited in 1976 and Trieu continued her studies at Everett Community College.

“I was adventurous, so I wasn’t scared at the time. From that (experience) and my parents, I learned to always appreciate things whatever may come,” Trieu says.

After initially pursuing nursing, Trieu switched to cosmetology. The dream of owning her own business afforded a sense of independence and more time with her family. Her parents were initially skeptical.

“For some, beauty is seen as a sec-ond-class career for those who don’t have a good education,” Trieu observes. “I tell the students that we need to carry our-selves and serve the public in a way that earns respect. This is a beautiful profes-

sion. I raised my family doing this and believe it makes a difference.”

Students inherit her passion, work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. Approximately 84 percent find employment soon after graduation and Trieu estimates that more than 200 salons are owned by Evergreen graduates.

A special success story is a student whose dream was to become a barber. His obstacle was being paralyzed in one arm from the elbow down. Trieu created a curriculum and used one hand herself while teaching. Using a custom-made clamp attached to his upper arm, he passed his classes, state exam and is near-ing 10 years of owning his own shop.

“That’s how I count being successful — when we can help someone with little or

no hope,” Trieu says. “We give them an environment where they feel safe, sup-ported and successful.”

Evergreen is growing to accommodate more students and services. The Everett location physically expanded in 2014 and added laser skin services in early 2015. They also engage the local community with annual events. Free back-to-school and winter holiday haircuts attract hun-dreds of local families.

“Beauty is about helping people feel good and realize their value. We teach the students that it’s their job to touch peo-ple from the outside to help bring out the beauty and confidence on the inside,” Trieu says.

“Mama Thi” herself is mother to five children, two of whom departed estab-lished careers to work at Evergreen. A third plans to join the family business in a few years. With 12 grandchildren and hundreds of students, Mama Thi has her hands full, but there is always time for one more hug and word of wisdom.

“When do I feel most beautiful? When a student like Jessica returns with such confidence,” Trieu says. “I see that and it makes me feel beautiful inside.”

Sara Blayne came on board the Lynnwood Convention Center as its marketing director when the facility opened in 2005.

As the center quietly celebrates its 10-year anniversary, she’s back — this time as the general manager.

Blayne, who returned as director of sales and marketing in November 2014, was appointed to the manager position in April. While the convention center is owned by the city of Lynnwood, Blayne works for SMG, the com-pany that is contracted to operate the center.

She takes charge of a convention center that has been on the upswing. The center has hosted 4,133 events with 753,096 guests since it opened in April 2005. Most con-vention centers require a subsidy to operate, but the Lynnwood Convention Center made enough from

events to eliminate the need for a subsidy in 2013 and 2014.

The Convention Cen-ter has been successful for a number of reasons, said Grant Dull, the executive director of the Lynnwood Public Facilities District. First, the group has taken a “visionary, yet financially conservative approach to

planning” from Day One. The convention center has relied on in-house food service including a chef and sous chef that have been with the center since it started. And the convention center is in an ideal location, easily acces-sible from throughout the region and close to 1,400 hotel rooms.

Blayne previously held a similar position with Compass Group, man-aging internal events for Microsoft. Before that she worked for hotels in the United States and abroad.

The global nature of the business appealed to Blayne, who was raised overseas. Although she’s lived mostly in Asia, she also lived in Europe and the Middle East.

“I lived in Czechoslo-vakia in the 1980s, back when it was still a Com-munist country behind the Iron Curtain,” Blayne said. Blayne graduated from high school in Egypt during the first Gulf War, then earned a degree in hotel management from Les Roches International

School of Hotel Manage-ment in Switzerland.

She worked overseas for a while, then came back stateside and eventually moved to the Seattle area. She has family in the area and often visited when she was a kid.

While at her family’s home in Kingston, Blayne used to see the cruise ships travel up and down Puget Sound and thought it would be fun to work on one of those ships.

“Then I realized that reality was not like ‘The Love Boat,’” she said, referring to the TV show. “Not everybody gets to be on the upper deck.”

She went to work in hotels instead, eventu-ally managing events for

the Lynnwood Conven-tion Center, Blayne wants to provide a great service and experience to the center’s guests. “We’ve gone beyond what was the original expectation of this building and I want to make sure we keep that momentum,” Blayne said.

Keeping the center’s repeat clientele is import-ant to Blayne, but she also hopes to build on the cen-ter’s success by bringing in more local and regional conventions.

“It’s important to keep the community engaged because they’re the people who support us at the end of the day,” she said.

Blayne is also excited about Lynnwood’s new City Center project and how the area surrounding the convention center will be developed.

“Seeing how the area continues to evolve will help us drive a certain direction as well,” she said. “It’ll be fun to see the new refreshed Lynnwood.”

There’s magic in McMenamin land.

“The excitement and electricity in the air is quite palpable,” said long-time McMenamins artist Olivia Behm, at Bothell’s historic Anderson School. “You start feeling it on the construction site.”

Along with McMenam-ins artist Myrna Yoder — a mostly-stay-at-home-mom and “wizard behind the scenes” in Portland — Behm, 62, is guid-ing the artists helping to transform Anderson School into the newest McMenamins playland.

Set to open Oct. 15, the $26 million project at

18603 Bothell Way NE will feature a 72-room hotel, a 134-seat, first-run movie theater, three

main bars and four smaller ones, a game room and a 112-foot-long saltwa-ter pool that will be open

for Bothell residents and guests.

Famous for inspiring the craft-brewing indus-

try in the Northwest and for turning old buildings into a string of pubs and entertainment meccas

brimming with history and quirky artwork, Mike and Brian McMenamin are also known for the rallying cry: “The main thing is to have fun!”

And the artists are hav-ing fun. Plenty of it.

Patty Forte Linna, 55, of Brier, said she can hardly wait to go to work every day and create art. Encountered recently as she painted a tiki-inspired border around bathroom walls, she marveled at the freedom to paint her own vision on walls, bed head-boards and panels.

“This whole thing is really fun,” she said. “It really is. I feel like I’m in Disneyland every day.”

Forte Linna is one of about a dozen artists hired locally to help paint the school McMenamin-style, which gives them a lot of leeway.

“Mike McMenamin is a genius because he encour-ages artists by not telling them what to do,” said

42-year-old Damian Zari, one of the few Portland artists onsite.

As if to demonstrate the ability to be different, Zari was airbrushing a bath-room border of undulating gray pipes and red faucet handles across the walls. He does it all freehand, he said.

That differs from the decorative-painting tech-nique Behm teaches, in which artists make sten-cils by drawing designs on painters’ masking paper.

They cut through the stencils by tracing their designs with sharp-

toothed pounce wheels. Then they transfer the

designs to the walls with

pounce pads filled with charcoal, which seeps through holes in the sten-

cils. After painting the basic design, they can add to it at will.

It’s all done inde-pendently of the bed-room artwork, which will include a headboard and wall panel, usually 38 by 48 inches, depicting a local character or group for whom the room is named.

The process starts with a meeting with McMenam-ins historian Tim Hills, who gives artists print-outs of stories he’s dug up around Bothell.

Artists pick a story that interests them “and then we get to just go and think about it and come up with our own vision,” said Carol Meckling, 50, lately of Shoreline but now in Colorado.

“There’s a lot of room for each of us sticking to our own style,” she said.

Sometimes that involves borrowing from the style of the past, such as Meck-ling’s painting of Tom Poll, a

Canyon Park Junior High student suspended in 1966 for refusing to cut his Beatles-style hair.

Done in the pop-art style of Andy Warhol, the painting features Poll reading a book and look-ing decidedly Beatle-like against a poster of the Fab Four.

A cartoonish Bibli-cal-character Samson, whose strength purport-edly “lay in his hair,” helps prop up Poll’s book.

World War II ads for Rosie the Riveter “where she’s rolling up her sleeves,” Meckling said, inspired her portrayal of U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, who’s known for her tire-less crusade to help work-ing families.

Mount Rainier, ever-greens, and salmon swim-ming upstream also figure in the piece.

Forte Linna said she gets inspiration from the “child that’s inside of you” and that’s why she chose a whimsical look for her painting of Karen Thorn-dike, who was in her 50s when, in 1998, she became the first American woman to sail around the world.

Friends told her she couldn’t do it, but Thorn-dike didn’t let that keep

her from her dream.“It just spoke to me,”

Forte Linna said. “You know, our dreams that we have, we’re doing our dreams.”

It wasn’t always so for Forte Linna.

It took having a baby and becoming a new stay-at-home mom for her to forsake her marketing career for her childhood dream.

She said she told her husband, professional photographer Jim Linna, that she wanted to be a professional artist.

“And he said, ‘Follow your heart and the money will come,’” she said.

Since then, she said she’s been in art shows up and down the West Coast, from Edmonds to Sausalito, has shown in galleries and won awards. But nothing compares to McMenamins.

“I am absolutely over-joyed to be working here,” she said.

Meckling, too, said she followed another career, working in the men-tal-health industry before seriously returning to art a few years ago.

She and her husband moved to Colorado last month “for an adven-ture,” but Meckling said she was sorry to leave McMenamins.

“This has been great, just having this pro-fessional experience at McMenamins,” she said. “It’s been really great for me.”

For McMenamins artists, the magic lies in getting paid to do art all day, said Cleo and Cyrus Hehn, 24 and 21.

It’s all in the family for the sister and brother, who were up from Port-land last month to help paint bathroom bor-ders; Uncle Lyle Hehn has been a McMenam-ins artist since 1988 and father Paul Hehn was a company manager until retiring to be a stay-at-home dad.

“As an artist, there are no other jobs like this,” Cleo said. “There really aren’t.”


Cleo Hehn plans the border paintings in one of the bathrooms of the McMenamins’ hotel and brewery.

Terry Preshaw was 9 years old when she first read “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Harper Lee’s iconic novel of individual integrity and legal justice. Preshaw per-sonally identified with Scout, the plucky young heroine, but it was attorney Atticus Finch and his crusade for justice that left an indelible impression.

“As a lawyer, I still hold Atticus Finch as the person I most want to emulate. He was my first role model of who I’d like to become,” Preshaw says.

Preshaw is an Everett-based attorney who specializes in immigration law. A dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, she is a rarity in being licensed to practice in both countries.

For 20 years, her focus was busi-ness immigration. Particularly follow-ing 1994’s North American Free Trade Agreement, businesses had increasing need for representation across the border. Preshaw helped open new foreign offices

as well as navigate employee transfers. “The more economic integration

between our two countries, the better friends we will continue to be,” Preshaw says.

In recent years, Preshaw’s emphasis shifted to individual business travelers. Improved computer technology through the National Criminal Information Cen-ter allows the Canadian Border Services

Agency easier access to criminal records. A U.S. traveler with a 30-year-old DUI or reckless driving offense will be denied entry to Canada unless they can prove the sentence was completed.

“Some folks have traveled back and forth for years without incident. They are surprised when they show up one day and suddenly the door is slammed shut. It’s becoming a more apparent issue and, in some cases, quite dramatic,” Preshaw says.

As one of the few Canadian immigra-tion lawyers residing in the U.S., Pre-shaw is in the unique position of being allowed to represent American clients at the Canadian consulate and border. U.S.-only lawyers cannot.

Her international perspective is informed by local involvement. She located to Everett in 1993 and appreci-ates the “small-town feel of a place that does big business.” Her wide-ranging community service and pro bono work ranges from founding and incorporating the Mukilteo Community Orchestra, in which she plays French horn, to advocat-ing for local residents.

“When a business person is involved in their community, they have a better idea of how best they can serve it,” Preshaw

says. “With the orchestra, I was able to meet people from different walks of life. Getting to know them made me realize the need for my services was more wide-spread than I ever dreamt.”

(Preshaw made national news in August when her French horn, which had been stolen from her five years ago, was returned by someone who bought it in a pawn shop.)

In 2013, a community member sought Preshaw’s help. The woman, an Ameri-can citizen, was desperate to evacuate her husband and three children from Iraq.

As a girl, her family fled the country as refugees in the 1980s, but she returned after marrying. Under the threat of ISIS, she departed and safely gave birth to her fourth child on U.S. soil last year. The newborn remains with relatives in Everett while she lobbies from Iraq to reunite her family.

“I feel emotional about this case,” Pre-shaw says with tears pooling. “It reminded me of the opportunities people had in Nazi Germany to save people. I heard the call and realized I had to step up to the plate. I’d never done something like this in my entire career.”

Preshaw and her husband sponsored the rest of the family to come to the U.S. After years of red tape, Preshaw is confi-dent they will be issued immigrant visas this fall.

“I think this is my most satisfying case to date,” Preshaw says. “I’m not just doing the paperwork, I’m providing one of the key pieces (sponsorship) these folks need to come to safety. I feel like it’s my Atticus Finch moment.”

EVERETT — It didn’t look like a hoax email, but then it did look too good to be true.

Heather Cherewaty and Abby Wait own Olive + Atlas, an Everett business that makes hand-crafted, fashionable dog collars, leashes and soon, har-nesses and blankets.

The pair started the business just a year ago and sell their wares online, at the Everett Farmers Market and plan to sell their items this fall at Pad-dywack pet store in the Mill Creek Town Center.

And then, they received the email.

An assistant for tele-vision personality Lilli-ana Vasquez last month wanted a couple of the dog collars — the Mill Creek and Columbia styles — to give as birthday gifts to Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on the Today Show.

“It was one of those things,” Cherewaty said. “Is it too good to be true? It was very professional and she gave us lots of information and lots of points of contact, but we were just shocked. ”

Vasquez had found the dog collars on Instagram and wanted the leather collars with fabric overlays for Gifford’s dog Bambino and Kotb’s dog Blake. The show aired on Aug. 5.

“We’ve had a lot of Internet traffic coming,” Cherewaty said. “We’ve had a pretty nice response to having the show aired.”

It’s a boost for a business that’s still just launching.

Cherewaty and Wait met while working out at the CrossFit Everett in downtown Everett. Cherewaty, 30, is origi-nally from New Jersey and moved here when her hus-band got a job at Boeing. (He’s since moved on to

another aerospace com-pany.) She was working as a technical writer at a Bothell biotech firm when she decided she wanted to go into business for her-self. She invited Wait to be her business partner.

“I think she knew she

wanted to do something dog related and what it came down to is I had a little bit of sewing expe-rience, I think I told her I could make a dog collar,” said Wait, 26, who con-tinues to work as a dental hygienist in Mukilteo.

Last August, they started making the collars, exper-imenting with leather obtained from local stores and fabrics like Pendle-ton Wool. Together, they came up with11 styles of dog collars and made the

creations in a shop behind Cherewaty’s Everett home. They named the styles after Pacific Northwest locales like Mill Creek, Alki Beach and Nob Hill.

“That was an idea that we both had to kind of stick to our roots and where the business is from,” Wait said.

And the business was named after their two dogs, Olive, a French bull-dog, and Atlas, a Chesa-peake Bay retriever, bor-der collie, cattle dog mix.

The motto for the busi-ness is, ‘Where the side-walk meets the trail.’

“My dog Atlas is more of the rough and tum-ble one,” Cherewaty said. “Oliver is more a sidewalk kind of dog. Atlas jumps straight into the river. Olive takes naps in the sun.”

Wait’s sister, Evelyn Kritler, 21, a graphic artist, developed a logo for the company. The metal logo is attached to each collar. In May, they started selling the collars at the Everett Farmer’s Market.

“I love it when people whip out their phones and show us pictures of their dogs,” Cherewaty said. “It’s a meaningful way to con-nect with another human being.”

They’ve committed to donating $1 from each col-lar and leash to nonprofits: the Old Dog Haven in Lake Stevens and Project Canine, in Seattle.

Wait put their designs on social mediea sites like Instagram. The pair were just getting their website, oliveandatlas.co, together when they received the message from the Today Show. While their collars was one of several gifts given to the hosts, Chere-waty and Wait were happy about the recognition.

“It’s been a lot of fun and it’s been reassuring to both of us,” Cherewaty said.

They hope the boost can help the business con-tinue to grow.

“We’ve had a phenom-enal response,” Cherewaty said. “We’re not growing so quickly that we can’t keep up, but we’re keeping steady.”

TULALIP — More than 50 businesses and other employers are signed up for a job fair Sept. 10 at the Tulalip Resort Casino, looking for candidates to fill positions in industries ranging from healthcare to public service to aerospace.

People who need jobs or are seeking to take the

next step in their careers are invited to attend the fair from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Orca Ballroom at 10200 Quil Ceda Blvd., Tulalip.

The Snohomish County Career Fair is being orga-nized by The Daily Her-ald and hosted by the Tulalip Resort Casino. Other partners include the Marysville Globe, the Arlington Times and the Spanish-language weekly

La Raza.“We’re excited to bring

together businesses and professionals, representing a wide array of industries

in Snohomish County provide career opportuni-ties to qualified job seek-ers,” said Herald Publisher Josh O’Connor.

The Herald organized the job fair after hearing from employers about the difficulty in finding qualified candidates for open positions, said Pilar Linares, the newspaper’s advertising director.

The unemployment rate for the state has dipped to 5.3 percent and has fallen to 4.3 percent in Snohom-ish County, according to the state’s Employment Security Department.

“This goes hand in hand with the economy,” Lin-ares said. “People are hav-ing a hard time filling posi-tions — we’ve seen it here, too — this is just another avenue for companies.”

It’s also a valuable tool to connect job seekers with a wide range of employ-ers. Those job seekers could be someone looking for their first job or look-ing to try a new career path.

“People keep asking me what’s the demographic and I say it’s 18 plus,” Lin-ares said. “It’s an oppor-tunity for someone right out of school or maybe it’s someone who’s 50 plus and they’re looking for a change.”

Linares has been part of newspaper-organized job fairs at previous jobs in Houston and Beaumont, Texas. She said the news-paper saw a need in the community are attempting to respond.

“I think any company will tell you there’s a huge amount of time and energy spent in hiring a person and then training a person and then having them ready to go,” Linares said. “There’s an efficiency in job fairs.”

The newspaper plans to market the fair heavily in advertisements and radio spots. As an incentive, The Herald is asking people to upload their resume before the fair; the first 50 people registered who check in at the Sound Publishing Career Booth will receive two free Seattle Mariners tickets.

The Herald is hoping that at least 500 job seek-ers will attend, Linares said.

“When we did it in Beaumont, I was expect-ing 300 and then 1,500 showed up,” Linares said.

The Herald also con-tinues to be a sponsor of the biannual Snohomish County Job Fair, which is planned next from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 29 at the Edward D. Hansen Con-ference Center at Xfinity Arena, 2000 Hewitt Ave., Everett.

I t’s hard to believe that we’ve been using some form of Windows for more than two decades.

The very first versions of Windows weren’t really more than an overlay on top of Microsoft’s DOS operating system.

Starting with Windows 95, however, it took on a life of its own and became — for all intents and purposes — an independent operating system.

Since then it has become an integral part of our computing life, running on more than 90 percent of computers worldwide.

While Windows has been wildly suc-cessful, not all versions have been loved by users.

It seems that since the release of Windows 98 Microsoft stumbled a bit after each successful version. Remember Windows ME? Windows Vista? Even Windows 8?

Now it looks like Microsoft may have another winner on its hands.

Windows 10 was released at the end of July. If you have been using recently purchased versions of Windows 7 or Windows 8, you have no doubt seen the pop-ups asking you to reserve your copy of Windows 10.

Many of my clients have told me this upgrade process hasn’t exactly been user-friendly, but once upgraded they were

very happy they made the leap.

Windows 10 takes the best features of Windows 7 and 8 and merges them into a sleek, respon-sive operating system that any user can enjoy whether at home or at work. It even works well on tablets.

Let’s take a quick look at the obvious

changes. The first thing you’ll notice is the Start button is back!

The much-maligned Tiles of Windows 8 have now been moved to the Start win-dow. The colorful 3D Aero interface has been replaced with a sleek and flat look.

You’ll also see that Internet Explorer has been replaced by the Edge browser.

There are lots of subtle changes,too such as the fact the Control Panel is now simply called Settings.

One of my favorite additions to Win-dows 10 is the ability to create virtual desktops on your PC. It’s a feature I’ve been enjoying on my Mac for a long time.

If you find yourself with a lot of appli-cations open at once, the Taskbar gets a

bit crowded and it can be a bit difficult to find your applications. Now, by clicking the Task View icon on the Taskbar, you can create multiple virtual desktops, each with its own set of applications open and it’s own taskbar.

I like to have one desktop for support programs, one for writing and research, and one for email and social media. The beauty is you can set these desktops up just the way you want.

The next feature that is entirely new is Cortana. This is Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s Siri. You can type or speak ques-tions and Cortana will search your PC and the Web to find what you’re looking for. You can even have Cortana remind you of upcoming events, read news head-lines and update you on sports scores and much more. It can be a little quirky, but it’s still a very powerful tool.

The Calendar application has matured as well. In previous versions of Windows you were pretty much locked in to using your Outlook calendar and couldn’t sync with other calendars. Now you can use not only Outlook and Exchange calen-dars, but Google and iCloud as well.

But every silver lining has its cloud. Some privacy advocates have raised alarms at the amount of personal infor-mation that Microsoft collects.

Their privacy statement is over 12,000

words long, so understanding exactly what Microsoft keeps and shares can be a challenge.

You can change these privacy settings and view the privacy statement by click-ing on the Setting options from the Start menu.

Under Privacy option you can change options in over a dozen categories. How you configure these settings depends on your level of trust or paranoia.

Overall, I think Windows 10 will be a big hit with both business and personal users. It has most, if not all, the features you’ll want. It automatically connects you to your favorite cloud services and simply makes it easy to use your computer, tablet or phone and easily share information between everything. Of course, being brand new there are going to be some compatibility issues. But I am pretty impressed.

Prepare for battle with your paper pilesY ou walk into your office to square

off with piles of paper. Just enter-ing the room and looking at the

stacks on your desk, the top of the file cabinet and piles on the floor drains you.

How are you supposed to work when you feel overwhelmed in your space?

This is where you want to be creative, productive and work efficiently. Sift through one pile, you discover a missing client file along with articles to read, expired coupons, meeting notes and a coffee gift card. It would have been nice to have these papers when you actually needed them, right? The coffee would have been nice, too.

Are you ready to tackle the paper piles or would you rather just shut the door and leave? Where’s that coffee card?

Clients tell me they’d like to do the latter, but sometimes you just have to buckle down and go through the piles. I hope to make this process easier for you today. First, let me explain the four systems that you should have in place.

Sensitive Storage

This would be a fireproof safe or a safe deposit box at the bank. Keep in mind, the bank will be the more secure option, but you will be subject to bank hours to access your vital documents. Use a safe for important paperwork that you want to protect such as passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, Social

Security cards, divorce decrees and vehicle titles.

Archive Storage

This is for paper-work that you need to keep for tax or legal reasons. But, you don’t need to store these papers in your prime real estate in the top file drawer in your office. You can store archive files in a file

cabinet in a lower drawer or other space since you won’t access them often.

Long-Term Storage

These are simply your reference or resource files that you can place in a file cabinet. You should store papers you feel you may need to refer to in the future.

Your filing cabinet should not contain work in progress. The exception to this is if you set up an ‘old school’ tickler file system in the top file drawer. Tickler files may be old school, but they still work.

Action System Files

These are the papers and files that you want at your fingertips on your desk

because you’re actively working on them. Your action system may come in the

form of a file box with folders, a step sorter with folders, stacking trays or a wall pocket system. Use a label maker. Even if you have great handwriting, a label will be easier to read and look more professional.

Now you’re familiar with the systems, we can move on to how to attack those daunting piles. It’s easier than you think.

Step 1

Get four boxes and put a big label on the front of each box for each system: Sensitive, Archive, Long-Term and Action. Now you’re going to do a “rough sort.”

Take only one pile at a time and sep-arate papers into the correct box. Keep a box for shred and a recycle bin close at hand for papers that you can part with right away.

Now here’s the key to the rough sort: Keep moving quickly. You’re not going to stop and fill out a form, make a phone call or pay a bill. Toss information that’s expired, outdated or a duplicate. You will get another opportunity to look at what you’ve sorted.

Step 2

Go through the boxes for each system more closely now. Take one box or

system at a time. Is there more paper that you can purge? It’s time to get down to the paperwork you know you want and need to keep.

Step 3

Create your systems. Gather your vital documents from the box and place them into a safe or safe deposit box. You can use hanging files in some fireproof safes which can be handy. Your archive files can go into the bottom drawer of your file cabinet, a separate file cabinet or bankers boxes. The long-term files in your file cabinet will take the longest to set up. Use new hanging file folders with clear tabs, manila folders and a label maker. Always name files the way you think for easy recall. Don’t get lost in your own file cabinet.

Step 4

Once you have your office organized with these amazing files, you’ll want to keep it that way, right? The key to success is regular maintenance. Take 10 minutes at the end of each day to restore order and file regularly. Don’t let overwhelm-ing piles build back up again.

D avid McCullough’s latest book, “The Wright Brothers,” includes a description of Wilbur Wright’s

trip to France in 1908 to demonstrate a flying machine that really worked. Wil-bur was naturally an object of great curi-osity and, as it turned out, he was unlike anyone else the French had ever seen.

The airplane itself had been severely damaged in its shipment from Ohio, and required substantial rebuilding and fabri-cation of parts. Leon Bollee, an aviation enthusiast and businessman, offered his shop and even some of his workers to help get the job done.

The men in the factory had never met anyone like Wilbur, and it appears that they appreciated him as much as they enjoyed being part of the new venture.

In one of his frequent letters home, he wrote to his father that, “The men down at Bollee’s shop have taken up a collec-tion to buy me a testimonial of their appreciation. They say that I, too, am a workman.”

Wilbur knew how much that would please his father who had brought up the boys to recognize the value and dignity of hard work. Wilber’s willingness to work side by side with the men in the phys-ically demanding work of rebuilding a complex aircraft was something they had

never seen before. His demonstrated respect for them defied the embed-ded class structure that divided French workmen from the owners and managers who gave the orders — the new economic rulers who replaced the aristocracy discarded a cen-tury earlier by the French Revolution.

In today’s business vocabulary, Wil-bur’s actions and attitude would be called empathy. He knew what the factory workmen did, how hard they worked, and what they were capable of… and appre-ciated it. And his working alongside them forged them into a team that became as excited about the project as he was.

Most business owners and CEOs would love to have a Wilbur-like man-ager on board — or, even better, a whole bunch of them. That would require their having empathy for their workers, though, and the prospects for that are not looking good.

A study led by Sarah Konrath at the

University of Michigan’s Institute for Social Research found that today’s college students have 40 percent lower empathy than college students in the late 1970s.

The reasons behind the decline in empathy are still being debated, but for business owners and managers, the immediate problem is dealing with it. What can top management do to identify empathy problems in job applicants?

The best time to look for empa-thy-related clues is during an applicant’s interview. It is usually a waste of time to simply ask general questions about how the applicant “gets along with other people.” What you can do, though, is examine his or her resume for activities or employment that involved working with other people — especially people of the skill level that the applicant will be expected to manage. Question the appli-cant thoroughly about these areas to get an idea of what he or she thought about managers and co-workers.

If the applicant has had management experience, look especially for the word “responsible” or “responsibility” being used. The use of these words often indicates a level of respect for work-ers that neither “boss” nor “in charge” impart. Word usage should be treated as clues, rather than evidence, however, and

prompt further inquiry rather than final assessment. There are lots of successful, empathetic managers “in charge,” or whose team members refer to as “boss.”

One very successful method to reveal a candidate’s empathy is to take him or her to lunch at a sit-down restaurant. Watch closely how the candidate interacts with the server. Politeness is not the same thing as respect, but they are close rela-tives, and respect is the basis of workplace empathy.

Take your applicant on a tour of your business and observe how he or she inter-acts with the people there. That is a pre-view of how those interactions are going to work out in the future, and you should evaluate the candidate accordingly.

Lastly, even after the best screening and interviewing processes, beginning managers often need a lot of help with their skill gaps, and lack of empathy is often at the heart of the problems.

Business owners and top management just have to face up to this issue and plan to work up solutions that fit their opera-tions and goals. With today’s crop of new managers that will be no easy task.

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

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

“We truly appreciate the broad

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

The 2015 market is anticipated to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This has been demonstrated thoroughly at the Port of Everett. Over the years, our es-tablished internship program has recruited top-notch college students from various fields of study, including communica-tions, environmental studies, engineering, planning, information technology, records management and more.

“We find great value in our internship pro-

gram here at the Port,” said Les Reardanz, CEO/Executive Director of the Port of Ever-ett. “Not only does it allow us to develop our future leaders, but it also provides opportunity for the team to grow. Interns bring fresh perspective and new ideas to the table that we often times integrate into our processes.”

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

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

This month, the Port of Everett and Westwood Shipping Lines are marking the 10th anniversary of weekly, direct aerospace shipments from Japan to Everett with a new, larger vessel calling the Port of EverettIn the early 2000s, the Port Commission made the

strategic decision to invest more than $50 million to improve the Port’s Infrastructure to streamline and improve the aerospace logistics chain to sup-port the world’s largest aerospace manufacturer. This investment included the installation of the

two, 40-ton capacity gantry cranes at Paci� c Termi-nal, the purchase of three, 45-ton reachstackers, the construction of Mount Baker Terminal, a custom aerospace facility in south Everett and addition of a 50-ton capacity rail mounted gantry crane. These infrastructure investments created the partnership opportunity with Westwood Shipping Lines to bring aerospace shipments directly to the Port of Ever-ett. Prior to this investment, the ships unloaded in Seattle or Tacoma and the parts were barged to the Port of Everett. “These infrastructure investments allowed our

region to successfully compete for the 787 and 777X airplane programs,” Port of Everett CEO Les Reardanz said. “By investing in our infrastructure and developing this partnership with Westwood Shipping Lines, we are better able to support our customer and job growth in the community.”City of Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson said that

recent success in the State Legislature on atransportation investment package will allow the City and the Port to improve freight routes from the marine terminals to Interstate 5. Now, after 10 years, the industry is trending to-

ward larger vessels and the Port of Everett is work-ing to meet the Port Commission’s initiative to add1,000-foot+ berths to continue to meet our cus-tomer’s needs – and those investments can’t come soon enough. On August 11, the Port of Everett welcomed the

Westwood Robson, a 686-foot container ship that is transporting aerospace parts and other general cargoes from Japan to Everett. The new, larger ves-sel can only be serviced at Pier 1, because its bow can extend into the waterway. Typically, the aero-space shipments are handled at Paci� c Terminal, but its berth length is only 650-feet. Per the Com-mission’s initiative, staff is working on implement-ing the Marine Terminals Master Plan (2008) to strengthen and enhance South Terminal to better accommodate the larger vessels. The Port and Westwood have worked together to

successfully transport all of the oversized com-ponents for the 747, 767, 777 and KC-Tanker. The Port of Everett now supports more than 35,000 jobs in the region, up from 6,000 in 2005, and sup-ports the largest export custom’s district in the State, and the third largest district on the U.S. West Coast.

Each and every one of us is an original. Shaped by unique in uences that make us who we are today. Here at Heritage Bank, we think differences can build a better bank, too. That’s why we share the best ideas from across all of our branches and local communities with one goal in mind: to serve our customers better every day. By sharing our strengths, we’re able to offer customers like Dr. Kodama—and you—more than a community bank. But rather, a community oƒ banks.
