Tolling Division Assistant Secretary Craig Stone and WSDOT Secretary Lynn A. Peterson discuss the details surrounding the tolling for the two high occupancy lanes (HOV) on Interstate-405, which is set for Sept. 27. TJ MARTINELL, Reporter
BY TJ MARTINELL
� e Washington State Department of Transporta-tion (WSDOT) has an-nounced it will begin tolling the two high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on Interstate 405 from Bellevue to Lynnwood starting Sept. 27.
� e express toll lanes run for 17 miles from where it meets I-5 in Lynnwood to Northeast 6th Street in Bellevue - through Bothell and Kirkland. � e toll rates were set by the Washington
State Transportation Com-mission (WSTC) earlier this year.
At a press conference � ursday in Bothell, Tolling Division Assistant Secretary Craig Stone said the tolling represents 15 years of work-ing with the community and the public to address growing tra� c congestion on the Eastside. Stone and other WSDOT o� cials be-lieve the toll lanes will help ease congestion and give drivers in the HOV lanes a more reliable trip.
WSDOT Secretary Lynn A. Peterson added that the
lanes will also give drivers the option of taking a faster route, something which wasn’t available before. She said they expect there to still be congestion during peak hours, but that it will not happen as easily as it does now.
In the meantime, Peter-son said, drivers should take the time before Sept. 27 to get used to the system and get a Good to Go Pass in order to use the express toll lanes without an additional fee.
“We need to be serious with our drivers,” Stone said.
“� is is crunch time to get ready for Sept. 27. We want people to take action.”
Drivers will also need a Flex Pass. Carpools will also have to get a transponder to place in the vehicle.
So far, Stone said, they have distributed 50,000 passes, but they are looking for that number to grow in the coming weeks.
Peterson said they chose Sept. 27 to start tolling because they needed to get the striping � nished before the rainy season started but also give them time to test

Potala Village developer under investigation by SEC for fraudBY TJ MARTINELL
The developer of the Potala Village project in the Lakeview
neighborhood is under investigation by the federal government for allegedly misappropriating millions of dollars from overseas inves-tors.
Lobsang Dargey is being sued in federal court by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for
allegedly raising more than $125 million through sales of securities to at least 250 in-vestors for Path America and the Potala Place development in Everett.
� e EB-5 visa system allows foreign nationals who invest at least $500,000 in a project that generates or preserves at least 10 jobs for U.S. workers to qualify for residency in the United States. � e SEC complaint alleges that Dargey and Path America used the
EB-5 system to raise money from Chinese investors by encouraging them to invest in Potala Place and Potala Tower, but then misappropri-ated $17.6 million, $14.7 million involv-ing Potala Shoreline LLC and Potala Vil-lage Kirkland LLC, which are not eligible for the EB-5 visa program.
Dargey allegedly promised his backers that their invest-
ments would make them eligible for U.S. residency but didn’t disclose those
investments would not qualify under the EB-5 program if they weren’t used for those dedicated projects, according to the complaint.
Details are provid-ed in the complaint and hundreds of
pages of supporting docu-ments. Among other things, they show that each inves-
tor who bought a $500,000 partnership interest in either of the two Path America projects also was charged a $45,000 administrative fee. � e investment capital was wired to an escrow account in the United States while the administrative fee was wired to an account in Hong Kong.
� en on Sept. 14, 2014, Dargey used nearly $2.5 million from the account in his and his wife’s names to purchase a home in Bellevue. � e purchase was made
in the name of Bellewood Farms Trust, the bene� ciaries of which are the Dargeys.
� e suit also alleges that Dargey withdrew about $350,000 in cash from both the Potala Tower and Potala Place accounts between Oc-tober 2012 and June 2015, mostly with a debit card or at a bank or casino teller.
From 2012-15, Dargey allegedly diverted $7.5 mil-lion from the Potala Farmer’s

As the expanding tech industry in the Seattle area searches for the appropriate candidates to � ll more and more roles, one Kirkland-based start-up has turned to a creative solution - cooperating with other companies.
BitTitan, an IT change automation company specializing in data migration and onboarding, hosted an open house event last � ursday at their o� ce on Lake Washington Boulevard North-east for job-seekers as part of Seattle Startup Recruit Week. Eleven other com-panies also hosted similar open house events at their o� ces. � e companies are part of a network com-prised of 30 companies in the area in which they share resumes and help each other � nd the most appropriate person for the position they’re looking to � ll.
For growing start-ups like BitTitan, the network-ing and open houses are essential as they look to � ll dozens of open positions, according to CEO Geeman
Yip. � is year so far, they have already hired 40 new employees and are looking to � ll another 20 positions by October. In 2014, their employees tripled to 77.
While the network al-lows recruiters from each company to share resumes, the open houses allow the recruiters and current em-ployees to interact socially with potential candidates.
Human Resource Manager Darci Lee said it also gives them a chance to ask questions that normally wouldn’t come up during job interviews, and candidates get
a feel for the company’s atmosphere.
“Culture is very impor-tant to us,” Yip said.
As part of the open house, they also feature coding challenges that gives candidates the chance to show their skill, with prizes o� ered for the win-ners.
� e network � rst started about a year and a half ago, according to Lee, when she said she had trouble � lling positions.
“I felt like there’s got to be a better way,” she said.
Traditionally, she said,

the system and ensure that it worked properly.
“Everything is testing out great,” Stone said. He stated that it will take six months to a year for traffic levels to fully settle down.
According to Peterson, it is the 33rd express toll lane in the country and the second one in the state. The other express toll lane is on State Route 167 between Renton and Auburn.
WSDOT officials have cited similar express lanes in other parts of the country, such as Miami, as evidence that tolling can relieve congestion and improve highway speeds.
Toll rates for the HOV lanes will be updated every five minutes based on the average speed of each lane. The toll minimum is 75 cents and the maximum is $10, though according to Stone,
90 percent of tolls will be less than $4.
The toll rate is based on how fast vehicles in the HOV lane are traveling, with the goal of 45 miles per hour 90 percent of the time in order to meet state and federal requirements. Currently, vehicles are only traveling that speed 60 percent of the time, according to Stone, in spite of adding nine transit centers, 5,000 new park and ride parking stalls and 1,700 vanpools since 2002.
Peterson expressed her confidence that tolling will allow HOV lanes to meet that 45 mph requirement.
One of the most contro-versial aspects of WSTC’s de-cision for tolling concerned carpool restrictions.
Between 5-9 a.m. and 3-7 p.m. on weekdays, cars with three or more persons will not have to pay, whereas before it was only two per-
sons per vehicle to drive in the HOV lane. During other times of the weekdays and all times during the week-end, carpools will still only require two people.
Opponents of the restric-tion, many of whom spoke at the WSTC’s public hearings earlier this year at Kirkland City Hall, claim that they will be unable to find a third person for their carpool and that the policy will drive more cars into the regular lanes, making congestion even worse.
Peterson said that carpools with fewer than three people can still use the lane, but they will need to pay. Critics have said that it will take away any financial reasons to carpool in the first place.
WSDOT is working with the Washington State Patrol to enforce the HOV lane restrictions.
A concern of several Kirk-land residents who spoke at the WSTC’s spring meetings was that the tolls would lead not only to more congestion but spillover traffic to city streets by commuters look-ing to avoid either the tolls or bad traffic.
Stone said that they will be working closely with the cities on a daily basis to determine how the traffic impacts their major arterials. He also said that they will be adding an additional lane and that rather than cause spillover, the tolling will ease congestion in those lanes and draw commuters off city streets.
The vendor handling the tolling fees for the HOV lanes is Electronic Transac-tion Consultants (ETC), the same vendor WSDOT has for the 520 bridge tolling. It also handles the lane systems for the State Route 167 hotlane.

Candidate Jason Chin-chilla has emerged as the remaining challeng-er for City Coun-cilmember Shelley Kloba’s seat in the November election a� er narrowly tak-ing second over Bill Henekens by just 27 votes in the Aug. 4 primary.
King County Elections has certi� ed the � nal vote count, with Chinchilla taking 1,772 votes, a total of 16.83 percent, beating out Bill Henkens for second place. Henkens garnered 1,745 votes and 16.57 percent.
Chinchilla, 20, was appointed to the Kirk-land Park Board in March. He is student at Bellevue
College and plans to major in political science with a minor in history.
Incumbent Kloba took well over the majority of the
vote at 6,097 votes and 57.91 percent. Jory Hamilton took 887 votes and 8.42 percent. � ere were 28 write-in votes, or .27 percent of the total votes.
Kloba was ap-pointed to � ll the
vacant Position No. 2 seat in 2013 following former
councilmember Bob Sterno� ’s resignation. She was later elected by vot-ers that same year.
According to King County, ap-proximately 21 per-cent of registered voters in Kirkland
completed a ballot, 10,711 out of 52,126.

companies collect re-sumes sent by candidates, but don’t share them with anyone else. What this means is that o� en companies receive appli-cations from candidates who � t the quali� cations for a role at another com-pany, but either didn’t apply for the position or were unaware of it.
“We’re not trying to � ll the same roles,” she said.
Lee said she � rst thought of the idea at a previous job. When she started at BitTitan she collaborated with an independent recruiter. � e idea caught on with others, until the network was � nally formed. Col-laborating within the network every two weeks, Lee said, they are o� en able to discover candi-dates they might not have found otherwise.
“We really want to work together,” she said.
Yip said that � nding quali� ed persons is essen-tial as BitTitan continues to grow, because although the demand for their products is on the rise, they still can’t a� ord to hire someone who seems like a good � t but eventu-ally turns out to not work well. By maintaining a high quality team, he added it will keep the
workplace morale high. “We are very picky,” he
said. “We don’t have the luxury of overhead.”
As the network has grown, Lee said, they have created established rules - one of which prohibits agency recruit-ing - to ensure that the collaboration is mutually bene� cial.
“� ere’s a level of in-tegrity that goes with it,” she said.

McCleary case, an open letter to Sen. Hill and Rep. Springer
Hi Andy and Larry,I would support raising the sales tax one cent
with all generated revenue going directly to pub-lic schools, reducing school property taxes and eliminating levies.
In addition, I would love to see a few districts experiment with a two half school year, whereby near the end of the 90 day � rst session, an exit exam is given covering the 180 day grade level. � ose students that pass at 90 percent or more would be moved to the next grade level in the next half of the school year. In essence, there would be a longer winter break and a shorter summer break, and a chance for some students to move through the school system faster.
Washington needs better schools because Washington is a very technology oriented state.
With the Washington State Supreme Court ruling, politically, it will be much easier to raise the sales tax for schools. � e legislature had no trouble raising gas taxes 11 cents for Bertha to bene� t a few land developers and contractors in Seattle; surely you legislators have the courage to pump up public education in Washington state.Dave Condon, Kirkland
Why did Summerfest allow religious recruitment
I’m so happy to live in Kirkland. I � ed radical Islamic oppression in my home country and I am proud to call Kirkland my home since 10 years.
My mum came over three years ago to visit and this summer again. I never felt intimidated
again living in Kirkland. However, I noticed more and more muslim people with clearly Is-lamic symbols in Kirkland downtown during the past two years. I’m not talking about the Imam center, which never bothered me, but more and more women with full head scarf and then at the happy Kirkland Summerfest; even three women trying to convince me to convert to Islam in a booth and talking to my kids how they should convert to Islam.
My mum visiting noticed the di� erence versus three years a go as well and was shocked. Please, let me know why any religion, but especially Islamic women, would be al-lowed to pursue such an agenda at the Summerfest and how come we see such an in� ux of clearly more conservative Islamic people to beautiful, liberal and free Kirkland.

Hazards on Park LaneLast night my husband and I decide to go and
eat at one of our favorite restaurants on Park Lane.
Being that it was such a lovely evening we choose to eat outside and enjoy people watch-ing during dinner. I was horri� ed to see how little the parents paid attention to their children who thought of Park Lane and the new Bioswale (open drainage pit with environmentally friendly plants) as their own play ground.
We saw children climb down into these and run around, throw rocks and pull at the plants all the while the parents occasionally looking over at them but not doing anything to stop it. People seem to have forgotten that with the beautiful new pedestrian friendly look of Park
Lane, there are still cars going down the street. We saw children running back and forth
across the street and people just strolling down the middle of the street. � e drivers are looking for parking spots to open and not children or pedestrians crossing in front of them without looking.
Bioswale fall protection does not appear code compliant. If we had that type of condition at our house we would have to provide regulation railings. Beyond that, it is a dangerous situation. I can only imagine someone who is distracted,
crossing the street and trip and fall into one of these and get badly hurt.
� ese unintended consequences will lead to a lawsuit against the city and could cause a severe enough injury to
change someone’s life forever. People should keep in mind that even though Park
Lane’s appearance has changed, there is still traf-� c on the street. Barilyn Weaver, Kirkland
Where is the new I-405 lane?Where is the lane? We were supposed to get a
new lane in both directions on I-405 all the way from Bellevue to Mill Creek.
We got the tolling equipment but not the lane. In fact, we are losing our two-person carpool lane.
� e only thing the tolls pay for is the tolling equipment. It is 100 percent a waste, complete boondoggle.
It will be both more expensive and more con-gested on I-405.
� anks Joan McBride, you are the single big-gest disaster to hit Kirkland in the past 30 years.Don McDaniel, Kirkland

Every parent knows what next week brings as kids head back to school. It is a little bit of stress, thinking about schedules, sup-
plies, music or sports practices, etc... It is a little bit sadness, thinking about the fact
that your child is one year older and a little more independent. And maybe thinking about the fact that you are getting a little older.
It is also part trepidation, as you’re not sure what to expect with a new teachers and class-room makeup.
It also might be a little bit of happiness and only fellow parents know what I am talk-ing about.
But one of the things that parents should not have to worry about is their child get-ting to school.
Safe routes to school have become a big part of the city’s initiative to make Kirkland a walk-able place to live. More sidewalks and even bike lanes, for the older kids, have popped up during the summer.
Not having to worry that your child has a safe place to walk to school is not too much to ask these days with so many other hazardous things out there.
� e Kirkland Police Department does a good job of monitoring school zones and making sure that commuters do not get in too much of a hurry.
� e school zones are there for a reason. More than one-fourth of child pedestrian fatalities oc-
cur between 3-7 p.m.� ose times are when schools are dismiss-
ing kids from the classroom or when they are headed home from school-related activities.
Now, more than ever, drivers need to be care-ful turning corners, backing out of driveways and driving through school zones.
Making things worse is that the days around here will get dark and rainy as fall and winter approach.
We expect that the police will be out in force next week, radar guns in hand, along streets that pass by schools. And we trust that they will hand out tickets even to those who say, “oops, sorry”
when they’re pulled over.So let’s all take a deep breath, take our foot o�
the gas pedal and put kids � rst. Slow down.AAA has some good advice for motorists:• Slow down and obey the 20 M.P.H. speed
limit in school zones.• Eliminate distractions. Sometimes kids dart
into the road unexpectedly.• Don’t roll through stop signs in school zones
or neighborhoods.

Former LPGA Tour star and Kirkland native JoAnne Carn-
er will be inducted into the Legends Hall of Fame Friday at the French Lick Springs Hotel in French Link, Ind.
� e induction will be held during tournament week of � e Legends Championship, set for Aug. 29-30, at the Pete Dye Course at French Lick Resort.
“� is is an honor I will cherish for the rest of my life and it makes my life’s work seem all the more valuable to me,” Carner said. “I am thrilled to be inducted into the Legends Hall of Fame.”
During a career that spanned from 1970 to 2005, Carter won 43 LPGA tournaments, and was one of the nation’s all-time top women amateur players before turning professional. She is still the only woman to have won United States Golf Association titles at the U.S. Girls’ Junior, U.S. Women’s Amateur and U.S. Women’s Open cham-pionships.
Carner won the 1956 U.S. Girls’ Junior Amateur and captured � ve U.S. Women’s Amateur Cham-pionships (1957, 1960, 1962, 1966 and 1968). In addition, she competed on four U.S. Curtis Cup teams and remains as the last amateur to have won an LPGA Tour event with her � rst LPGA victory at
the 1969 Burdine’s Invi-tational. She won the U.S. Women’s Open in 1971 and again in 1976, and tied for second at the 1987 U.S. Women’s Open, losing in an 18-hole playo� .
At the age of 65, she also became the oldest player to make the 36-hole cut at an LPGA tournament at the Kra� Nabisco Cham-pionship in 2004, as well as at the Chick-� l-A Char-ity Championship.
Carner has been hon-ored many times during her four decades on the LPGA Tour. She was in-ducted into the LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame in 1982. She also earned the 1981 Bob Jones Award and the Golf Writers Association of America Player of the Year Award in 1982-83. In addition, Carner served as captain of the victorious U.S. team at the 1994 Solheim Cup.
Carner, 74, now lives in Lake Worth, Fla. and still competes on The Legends Tour, the official senior tour of the LPGA. She has posted four top-10 finishes and played in six ISPS Handa Cup interna-tional team competitions before taking over as Team U.S.A. Captain in 2012. Carner will serve as the 2015 PING U.S. Junior Solheim Cup Team Captain in Germany in September.
� e Legends Hall of Fame is a permanent installment displayed year-round at West Baden Springs Hotel in French Lick and was created by
the resort to showcase some of the greatest names in women’s golf history. � e Legends’ exhibit fea-tures photos and memo-rabilia showcasing the history of players’ careers.
Nominated candidates are reviewed and approved annually for induction by a � ve-member Legends Hall of Fame Induction Committee comprised of French Lick Resort of-� cials and ambassadors, as well as active and former Legends Tour players.
Annual inductions of two individuals are held in conjunction with The
Legends Championship. One inductee is an active member of The Legends Tour who is still regu-larly competing in official Legends Tour events. The second inductee is a semi-retired Legends Tour member who has made a significant impact on the game during her LPGA and Legends Tour careers.
Carner will join Legends Tour Hall of Fame mem-bers Nancy Lopez and Jane Blalock (inducted in 2014) and Jan Stephenson and Kathy Whitworth (inducted in 2013).

Those eager to par-ticipate in a mock sea-battle or enjoy
an evening sail around Lake Washington, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chie� ain will o� er both dur-ing their week in Kirkland.
� e two ships will be at Carillon Point Marina Sept. 1-8 for walk-on tours, public sailing excursions and educational programs for 4-6th grade students. � eir Kirkland visits are among the most popular of their stops, and demand has gotten to the point that the Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority, which owns the two ships, is looking at hav-ing them possibly stay an additional week next year, ac-cording to Communications
Director Joseph Follansbee. “We have more demand
than we can meet,” he said. As part of their visit, the
two ships will engage in numerous three-hour sea battles featuring cannon � re between the ships in an e� ort to recreate a typical 18th century naval skirmish. � e ships � re real cannons with real gunpowder, but no can-non balls.
“We will (also) encourage the passengers to taunt their adversaries,” Follansbee said. “� e idea is to get the pas-sengers and guests involved with what’s happening on the vessel. � ey can actively participate or just watch. � ere’s a variety of ways to participate. It depends on what the guests are comfort-able with.”
� e ships will also o� er adventure and evening sails,
two-hour family-oriented excursions in which the guests will have the opportu-nity to help raise a sail, learn a sea shanty (chant or song) and even take the helm of the ship. Lady Washington is steered by a tiller, while the Chie� ain features a ship’s wheel.
One of the core missions is to receive hands-on maritime experience.
“Some folks just prefer quieter experience or don’t like the boom of cannons,” Follansbee said. “It’s a little more quieter, little more sail-ing oriented.”
Launched in 1989 to celebrate Washington’s 100th birthday, Lady Washington is a 112-foot tall, wooden-hulled replica of one of the � rst U.S. � agged vessels to visit the west coast of North America. � e ship
has appeared in television shows and � lms, including “Star Trek: Generations” and “Pirates of the Caribbean: � e Curse of the Black Pearl.” � e steel-made, 103-foot topsail ketch Hawaiian Chie� ain launched in 1989 and was purchased by Grays Harbor Historical Seaport Authority in 2005.
Tickets for the sea battles are $75 adults, $67 students/seniors/active military, $39 children 12 and under. Adventure sail tickets are $47 adults, $39 children 12 and under. Tickets for the evening sails are $45 all ages.
Visit www.historicalsea-port.org to purchase online or call 800-200-5239 during business hours to purchase tickets.
Carillon Point Marina is located at 2150 Carillon Point.

Market and Potala Tower accounts to an account in the name of Potala Village Kirkland.
In August 2014, Dargey allegedly used $4.25 million of those funds to purchase property in Kirkland.
The SEC has asked a feder-al judge to approve a restrain-ing order prohibiting Dargey or his companies from raising more money from investors, selling any securities of any business interest they own, and freezing all their assets - including the Potala Village site in Kirkland.
The SEC complaint and request freezes Dargey’s fi-nancial assets and brings new uncertainty over the fate of the Potala Village project.
The complaint alleges that the limited liability company “maintains a bank account into which proceeds raised from defrauded investors are deposited and “also owns property purchased with funds raised from defrauded investors.”
The government is seeking an accounting of all money received from investors, an order prohibiting the alteration or destruction of books and records, an order to return any investors’ funds that have been transferred overseas back to the United States and unspecific civil monetary penalties.
The complaint comes after Dargey’s legal wrangling with the city of Kirkland over vest-ed rights to specific zoning regulations concluded when the State Supreme Court denied a request on Feb. 4 to review an Aug. 25, 2014 rul-ing by the Washington Court of Appeals, Division I.
The development re-cently had a design response conference with the city of Kirkland Resign Review Board (DRB) Monday on Potala Village’s design for the site at 1006 Lake Street South. Another meeting is scheduled for Oct. 19.
Unless Dargey pulls out of the design review phase altogether, however, the legal complaints won’t affect that part of the project, according to Senior Planner Angela Ruggeri.
“At this point, they need to receive their design revisions
in order to go ahead with that (design review process),” she said. “The board told them some things to do, and if we receive their changes, then we’ll move ahead.”
“I would say that the question is more for the applicant,” city of Kirkland Planning Director Eric Shields said. “Will it affect their ability to move forward? Will they still have the desire or financial wherewithal to pay consultants?”
The proposed project would be a 138,434-square-foot, three-story building that would include approximately 7,000 square feet of ground floor retail space on the north and south corners of the building, as well as 58 resi-dential units on the second and third floor.
Kirkland City Manager Kurt Triplett stated that the DRB will need the updated materials from the developer three weeks prior to the next meeting and whether they receive them or not will indi-cate if things move forward.
“We’ll know by the end of September whether there’s still a project,” he said. “I think we’re still in a wait and see mode.”
At the moment, however, the site remains undeveloped. Kirkland City Councilmem-ber Toby Nixon said his biggest fear is that, irrespec-tive of whether the complaint turns out to be true or not, the legal process will leave the site as it is, an eyesore for the local neighborhood, for an indefinite amount of time.
The scenario would be similar to that of the seven-and-a-half story Bel Lago condominiums on Northeast Juanita Drive overlooking Lake Washington. Con-structed in 2006, it remained unfinished for years and was the source of grief for nearby residents until it was finally bought by Legacy Homes of Washington in April 2012.
“I hope if he (Dargey) does get shut down… that some other developer would be able to move forward with an attractive project on that site that meets the needs of the community quickly,” Nixon said. “I just don’t want it to sit in a half-built or big-hole-in-the-wall state for a long time.”
Additionally, Nixon said
is he concerned about the potential environmental impacts it would have on the neighborhood if left alone.
“My main concern is the property be left in a physi-cally safe condition, that it be in an environmentally sound condition, that there is not toxics exposed and that kind of thing,” he said. “I want it to be left in a tolerable condi-tion. It looks ugly right now, but the problem is I have no idea what authority the city has on to any of that.”
Triplett, however, said he is confident that Kirkland’s booming real estate market will entice a new developer to take over if Dargey cannot move forward.
“I think right now people are obviously very bullish on Kirkland,” he said. “They’re snapping up property.”
In the meantime, he added, Potala has completed the environment remediation.
“Certainly none of us want to see it stay an empty property, but it’s not a whole lot different from what it was before,” he said. “Clearly we would like to see something positive happen at that site…there are tools in our code to make sure the site is not be-coming a dilapidated place.”
Karen Levenson, spokes-person for the group of neighbors who have orga-nized against the original Potala Village project, released the following state-ment: “My concen has been that Lobsang Dargey has not been fair to the Kirk-land Citizens. I have been concerned by the feeling that he is manipulating and misinterpreting Kirkland’s codes in ways that were not intended by past councils or the citizens. I have also been concerned by what seems to be his ability to get some staff and city council members to support his version of real-ity in a way that potentially harms the neighborhoods where Kirkland citizens have invested their life savings into their family home.”
Dargey and Path America declined comment to Sound Publishing.
Chris Winters at the Reporter’s sister newspaper Everett Herald contributed to this story.
