When you pull up to Nancy Fernandes' house, you know it's going to be special. A collection of license plates decorate the garage wall. A sculp-ture made out of automobile hubcaps stands in the front yard. Road signs are here and there.

But you haven't seen anything yet.

Inside, each room is a theme, decorated with an eclectic mix of photos, tchotchkes and specially created pieces that provides a feeling of whimsy and wonder everywhere you look.

City finalizing district court designs

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Work is on track to relocate the King County District Courthouse in Bellevue next spring, allowing the outdated and contaminated facility currently in use to be leveled and improvements to Surrey Downs Park to start.

The city is nearly a year into its 11-year lease for 29,500 square feet of office space in the Bellefield Office Park, and designs are now being finalized for tenant improve-ments.

“It will be a much improved space for the court and the public that uses it,” said Civic

City exploring crowdfunding for startupsBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

In keeping with its mounting support of eco-nomic development through business startups, the city of Bellevue is exploring the feasibility of creating a crowdfunding marketplace where investors can be almost anyone.

“I think it’s a great idea, but we really need to look at it from all angles,” said Bellevue Coun-cilmember Lynne Robinson, adding no other city in the nation has ever done something like this before.

The state Department of Financial Institu-tions recently published its regulations for Senator-elect Cyrus Habib’s legislation passed last session that opens up crowdfunding op-portunities for Washingtonians in a market previously reserved for wealthy, accredited investors — that amounted to about 3 percent of the state’s population, said Brayden Olson, who helped Habib draft House Bill 2023 or the Washington JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act.

“What we did last year was we made it legal for the other 97 percent of Washingtonians to participate,” said Olson, CEO of Wilhelm Enterprises, which has launched the for-profit Washington Security Exchange in Kirkland.

More than 50 children got an up-close look at veterinary medicine during an afternoon tour Dec. 13 at Loyal Family Veterinary Hospital in Bellevue. The event included four educational stations set up on surgery, dentistry, radiology and toxicology. Staff members were located at each station to give a presentation and have the children answer questions at the end of each talk. After the children completed all four stations, they received a Junior Vet Certificate once their answers on a questionnaire were reviewed. The facility is located at 677 120th Ave. N.E., Bellevue, across from Uwajimaya and Total Wine and More. More information is available at 425-201-1908.

In the six months since Overlake Hospital opened its Milk Donation Center, Eastside mothers have given more than 95 gallons of life-saving, nutritious donated human milk to the hospital.

The donations assure that Overlake Medical Center has priority access to the milk to support fragile, premature infants in the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

“We have been amazed at the generosity demonstrated by the caring donor moms of our community,” said Sandy Salmon, RN, who manages Overlake Medical Center’s Mom & Baby Care Center.

Salmon’s message to all the mothers who donated: “We recognize the time and energy taken to collect and donate this milk for babies in need. Your actions are inspirational and deeply appreciated both by the babies and families who receive your gift and by the staff at Overlake who are lucky enough to assist you in this process.”

Overlake is one of just a few hospitals in Western Wash-ington to offer a local donation location to mothers in the greater Seattle area. After taking care of Overlake’s needs, any additional breast milk collected will help support 120 hospi-tals in 24 different states.

The milk is shared with other hospitals through Overlake’s partnership with Mothers’ Milk Bank in Colorado, which provides the screening and blood testing needed to become a donating mom at no cost.

“We are always in need of donors and milk,” said Laraine Lockhart Borman, outreach director at Mothers’ Milk Bank in Colorado. “We frequently have more need for milk from hospitals than there is supply.”

Borman and Salmon are hoping Eastside moms continue to give the gift of human milk. The 95 gallons – roughly 12,248 ounces – were donated by 36 moms.

“One special donor gave 3,698 ounces so far,” Borman said. “Some gave the minimum of 150 ounces. To us it doesn’t matter because every drop is precious. An ounce will feed a micro preemie for a day. A little goes a long way toward protecting their health and ensuring their survival.”

Mothers who have been screened and accepted as pro-spective donors can come to Overlake’s Mom & Baby Care Center to drop off their frozen donated human milk and have blood work done at the medical center’s outpatient lab. The milk is temporarily stored in a deep freezer before be-

ing shipped for processing along with the blood samples. The mailed blood samples are tested to assure donors

meet the proper criteria (much like testing for blood donation). Milk that is safe for use is then pasteurized and cultured to assure there is no contamination from the pro-cessing. The milk is then frozen in 2 to 4 ounce bottles for shipment to hospital neonatal intensive care units.

A milk donation center is a controlled collection point where healthy, lactating women can donate their surplus milk for premature babies. The milk collection, shipping, processing and distribution are overseen by the Human Milk Banking Association of North America (HMBANA), an organization consisting of multiple banks and collection depots throughout the United States and Canada.

Studies showing strong clinical benefits combined with recommendations from many health organizations have prompted a growing number of hospitals to provide do-nated, pasteurized human milk to premature infants when their mother’s own milk is not available.

Donated human milk provides life-saving nutrition and immune support to fragile, premature babies. In the United States, there is a critical shortage of donated human milk. According to the HMBANA, there are 60,000 low birth weight infants (weighing 3.5 pounds or less) born every year who need donated human milk.

Milk banks depend on “drop off” milk depots to meet the growing demand for donated human milk. Only milk from a HMBANA milk bank can safely be given to preterm infants in the hospital.

For more information about Overlake Medical Center’s new mother’s milk depot and to learn about how to donate, call 425-635-6150.

New red-light cameras activatedDrivers get one-month grace periodBY REPORTER STAFF

Three new red-light cameras were activated in Bel-levue on Thursday, setting a 30-day grace period where drivers will receive warnings instead of citations. A new school zone speed camera also has been installed in front of Sunset Elementary.

Bellevue city councilmembers approved adding the three new cameras in July. The first traffic enforcement cameras were authorized in 2009. American Traffic So-lutions added cameras to the eastbound and westbound intersection of Northeast Eighth Street and 112th Avenue Northeast and one at the westbound intersec-tion of Northeast Eight and 116th Avenue Northeast. The school zone camera at Sunset Elementary is located on the 4400 block of West Lake Sammamish Parkway Southeast (southbound only) and will be activated later in January after school restarts.

After the grace period ends, infractions will result in a $124 fine.

That grace period will not be extended at intersec-tions and school zones that have had enforcement cameras there for the past four years: Two speed zone cameras at Stevenson and Lake Hills elementary schools and red-light cameras at the north and southbound intersections of 148th Avenue Northeast and Bel-Red Road and southbound 148th Avenue Northeast and Main Street.

Christmas wasn't so jolly for one Medina household hit by a vehicle theft and burglary.

The Medina Police Department on Friday reported via community E-lert that a home on the 100

block of Overlake Drive East had been robbed some time between 2 p.m. Dec. 24 and 11:30 a.m. Dec. 26.

The homeowner's car had been taken from the garage, as well as other personal property inside the house.

Medina Chief of Police Steve Burns urged citi-zens to watch each other's

homes and lock their own doors and windows. Burns also suggested activating any alarm systems any time citizens leave their home.

The Medina Police Department offers a "Housewatch" program to

residents. Signing up for the service means police of-ficers will check on a house regularly during a home-owner's absence.

Question of the week: “Do you think 2015 will be betterfor you than 2014?”

Bellevue had a strong year in 2014. Among many noteworthy events. Construction cranes returned

to the city in a big way. We hired an outstanding new city manager in Brad Miyake. A long-standing dream was re-

alized as the Bellevue Botanical Garden’s new visitor center opened to the public.

However, in many ways 2014 was a year of planning for the fu-ture. Early in the year, we at the city council set out a 20-year vi-sion and an ambitious list of priorities to

move the city toward that vision. We adopted a number of important plans, including a � rst-ever economic develop-ment plan and an update to our suc-cessful, but outdated, diversity plan. To cap o� the year, the council adopted a two-year operating budget and a seven-year capital plan that promises to fund basic city services as well as innovative new services and projects.

If 2014 was a year of planning, then 2015 is set to be a year of putting plans into action. As mayor, my 2015 wish list includes:

A safe year for all in Bellevue

At the city, we know that a top priority for our residents, visitors and businesses is to keep our city safe. In the coming year, we will add positions in police and � re to meet our growing city’s public safety needs. With these new personnel, a new district court facility and new leadership, as we hire a police chief and � re chief, 2015 prom-ises to be a year of increased focus on public safety.

PSE misstates debate about electricity issue

In response to Puget Sound Energy's Dec. 19 op-ed, "Energize Eastside, � e Only Way," the debate about the need for the Energize Eastside Project is not whether the Eastside will need more electricity in the future. Instead it is about:

■ How much electricity the Eastside will need?

■ How electricity will be provided?

� e electricity util-ity industry is in a similar situation to that of landline telephone companies a few decades ago. An onslaught of new technologies is decreasing the rate at which new electricity sources are needed as well as the way in which electricity is gener-ated, stored and distributed.

2015, the city will be doing its part to make it easier to get around, making major transportation investments throughout our seven-year capital budget. We will com-plete new road projects, like the Northeast Fourth Street extension to help relieve traffic within the city. And we will continue to keep pressure on the Legislature to complete critically needed upgrades to the state highway system, especially the completion of the SR 520 bridge replacement project and the expansion of I-405. Importantly, in 2015, we will complete negotiations and permitting for Sound Transit’s Link light rail extension — setting the stage for

construction to begin in 2016.

Peace and enjoyment in our homes and neighborhoods

Bellevue’s neighborhoods make our city the special place it is. In 2015, we will be reinstituting the popular Neighbor-hood Enhancement Program, providing funding for local improvement projects that are dreamed up and selected by neighbors. We will design the much-needed sidewalk on Newport Way, in Eastgate — one of our newest neighbor-hoods after annexation in 2012. We also will be responding to residents who feel their community is under stress, on a number of fronts, by completing updated regulations for single-family room rentals, reviewing trends of “mega-homes” in areas with traditionally smaller houses, and studying the city’s electrical needs so we can make sure that Puget Sound Energy provides an adequate supply of power for the future and appropriate protections for our neighbor-hoods.

Recreation and enrichmentBellevue takes pride in being “a city in a park,” with a

nationally recognized parks and recreation system and legacy of being an active city for all ages. In 2015, we look forward to the opening of the Bellevue Youth The-atre in Crossroads Park. At Hidden Valley Park, we will open expanded and improved baseball fields alongside brand-new indoor basketball courts — all provided at great cost savings due to our strong partnership with the

Bellevue Boys and Girls Clubs. There is so much more. The possibilities in front of

Bellevue as we move into a new year are truly exciting. With your continued support, and the hard work of all the people who work at the city, we will continue to make Bellevue the unique and wonderful place we call home.

Claudia Balducci is mayor of Bellevue.

Editor's Note: James MacIsaac was work-ing on this piece at the time of his death on Dec. 6, 2014. Final edits were made by the Eastside Transportation Association.

BY JAMES W. MACISAACSPECIAL TO THE REPORTER

Construction, maintenance and repair of roads and bridges should be the central focus of the state transporta-

tion funding package in 2015 without being held hostage to increasing Sound Transit’s light rail taxes.

The Puget Sound region’s fragile highway infrastructure desperately needs significant investments now to protect what we have and to expand what we need.

No new road funding has been approved since 2005. The region’s crumbling roadways are at risk if the neglect continues. Current freeway capacity can barely carry the existing traffic demand, much less accommodate

future growth. These urban roadways that carry the majority of our freight and commuters must be expanded to reduce congestion and carbon emissions.

Safety and congestion relieving road projects must be the state’s and region’s top transportation funding priority. Buses and vanpools also would benefit from these road projects, as they carry 90 percent of all regional transit trips on roads.

Despite the degradation of our roads, and frustration of the vast majority of the region’s commuters suffering from severe highway congestion, Sound Transit seeks an additional tax authority from the 2015 Legislature to fund its $15 billion Stage 3 light rail system. Why now?

Sound Transit has not even finished build-

ing the light rail portion of Sound Move Stage 1 authorized by voters over 18 years ago. Stage 1 light rail has already cost taxpayers more than double the initial estimate, is years be-hind schedule and moves just over one-third of the 107,000 riders promised. Worse, ST 2 taxes have been collected since 2008, its con-struction has just started and it won’t be fully operational until at least 2023. This begs the question: “Why does Sound Transit’s board want such a massive increase in sales, property and motor vehicle excise taxes now?”

Existing transit taxes are more than enough, since Sound Transit consumes nearly a third of all transportation revenues in our region.

Light rail only carries about 0.23 percent (less than 1/4 of 1 percent) of the Puget Sound’s person trips today. Proponents of the light rail system expansion claim “If we build it, they will come!” However, this is not the case.

PSRC data forecasts light rail ridership

will be about 10 percent of daily transit trips, which is only 4.3 percent of the total daily person trips, by 2040. Peak period transit trips are forecast to increase to 5.4 percent. Additionally, only one-fifth of light rail riders are new to using transit, while the rest have simply moved from buses to rail.

Sound Transit is asking for $15 billion to shift rail ridership from 0.23 percent to a paltry 0.54 percent (about 1/2 of 1 percent) of regional trips. Any new transportation taxes should focus on the 99 1/2 percent of the region’s trips that will be on the roads.

The road system’s major funding sources, gas taxes and weight fees aren’t enough to maintain, preserve or build new projects. Time is overdue for funding the state’s critical road needs.

The I-405 and I-5 freeways have several costly hours of miserable congestion every weekday, exemplifying immense strains on

our aging and seismically vulnerable road system.

WSDOT has a long list of capacity projects that need funding, including two more lanes on I-405,

completing SR 520 in Se-attle, critical SR 509 and SR 167 extensions for access to SeaTac Airport and the Port of Tacoma and the US 2 trestle-widening in Everett, among others. WSDOT also has a vast number of pres-ervation projects including reconstruction of the I-5 pavement through Seattle,

pavement overlays and bridges all over the state and the court order to replace culverts for fish.

Washington needs responsible investments in road infrastructure for the vast majority of us. Mean-while, Sound Transit seeks to draw money away from protecting safety, com-

merce and environmental enhancements in the Puget Sound to support a tiny mi-nority of regional travelers. This imbalance must end in 2015.

Only four years after retirement, I sometimes think about legacies, asking myself, “Have I contributed to anything lasting?”

When my mother turned 80, I read the book, “How to Say It to Seniors: Closing the Communication Gap with Our Elders,” and learned that most elders review their lives in

hopes of finding assurance that they have done something that made a difference.

This past month I received some encouraging answers without ever asking my question aloud.

When I worked for Bellevue schools, the superintendent assigned me to create a Latino parent advisory committee. The group called itself “Impulso,” a title that one of the members said came from the field of physics. I interpreted it to mean something like “propel,” as in propel par-

ents to make sure their kids graduated from high school and continued their education after that.

Working with this committee turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my career and life. Two friends from Eastside Latino Leadership Forum (ELLF), a

Latino advocacy organization, joined the group to support me, which was a great help when my Spanish faltered. They also offered advice and counsel to the parents from a cultural perspective.

We held focus groups and created programs based on parents’ expressed needs. Some events, such as a Satur-day visit to the University of Washington, included the whole family. We designed others, for example, a session on “communicating with your teenager,” just for adults. Workshops on how to check student attendance and grades online had the effect of an ice bucket shower on some of the parents, when — despite their students’ assurances otherwise — they learned that an F grade did not mean “fantástico.”

This month, I received two special dinner invitations. The first event celebrated not only a young woman’s graduation from college, but also her challenging job, and the house she had just bought for her mother. The second dinner honored the daughter of two of the original Impulso leaders for her recent college graduation. At both events the hosts thanked me and several other guests publicly for the work we had done to reach out to Latino parents and kids to make sure they understood our educational system and how to navigate it.

Seeds you plant may take years to produce fruit. I’m happy to learn that a few I planted have begun to germinate, and I can postpone worrying about legacies for a while longer.

Strawberry field at the Warren farm, which was located on the southeast corner of Northeast Eighth Street and 104th Avenue Northeast in 1903.

The Warren family, 1890Jesse Warren and his family arrived in Bellevue in

1890. Prior to moving to Bellevue, they had lived in Walsh County, Dakota Territory.

The Warrens purchased a plot of land and established a farm at the site of present day Bellevue Square. The Warren farm was very bountiful and they grew a variety of crops, including strawberries. The family lived in a white house that stood on the corner of 108th Avenue Northeast and Northeast Eighth Street.

The Warrens joined the Washington Produce and Fruit Growers Union so that they could sell their pro-duce in Seattle at the Pike Place Market. Jesse Warren was one of the first directors of the Bellevue School Board.

Bellevue’s first cemetery, the Pioneer Cemetery, was located on the site of the Warren family’s private cem-etery.

Bellevue company to gain greater reachBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

SAP's $8.3-billion pur-chase of Concur last month is expected to boost the corpora-tion's cloud-based solutions offerings while expanding the Bellevue-based travel and business expense management company's global reach.

Concur will continue to operate independently, but as an SAP business unit, said Robson Grieve, executive vice president of worldwide global marketing for Concur, add-ing the company is looking for growth advantages through the software giant's network.

"I think they bought a team and a product that works in a little different way and that they want to nurture," Grieve said.

Concur will be integrated into SAP's cloud-based product

suite that includes Ariba and Fieldglass software for man-aging purchasing and labor, respectively, said Tim Mina-han, chief marketing officer of SAP Cloud. SAP's subscribers now have a travel and expense solution through the business optimization network.

"I think the whole idea of our objective to help companies run a simple operating philosophy is at the core of what Concur has been doing in the travel and demand space for many years," Minahan said.

Most of Concur's subscrib-ers are based in the United States, but Minahan said SAP's global network operates in 190 countries, where the software can reach broader distribution channels with deeper localiza-tion capabilities.

"It's not an overnight jour-ney; it's a multiyear journey, but it is one I believe SAP is situated to deliver on," Mina-han said.

Grieve said Concur has no

plans to drop any of its cur-rent initiatives, nor does it believe the various business and technology solution companies it has invested in over the past several years need to fit into one system.

"The investments that we've made, I think we've done very well on those financially and also they've been a great source of connectivity to the industry," he said.

Concur announced during its acquisition process in Novem-ber that no employees would lose their jobs as a result, and Grieve said the company now has "fairly aggressive hiring plans" for the next 12 months in Bellevue and abroad.

"We will be hiring in Bellev-ue, for sure," Grieve said. "Our commitment here is ongoing and our headquarters at Concur is here, and we definitely want to keep growing."

TALKING BUSINESS WITH INDIA

Gov. Jay Inslee meets with community and business representatives from the Washington state Indian community in an Indian Diaspora forum on Dec 11 at The Westin Bellevue. It was Inslee’s first round table with the local Indian Diaspora after being elected governor. Various topics were discussed including ideas to improve the state economy, education and transportation. The members of the Diaspora assured the governor their support for the economic development of the state by bringing global investments to the state and creating jobs in the manufacturing and service sector. Also discussed were the ideas of introducing Hindi as a foreign language in Seattle schools and establishing multiple sister-state relationships in India to take advantage of the changing demographics in the nation. The roundtable was organized by WASITRAC, the Seattle based non-profit trade advocacy group working on a stronger bilateral trade relationship between Washington state and India. Inslee was presented with a Kashmiri Shawl and few books highlighting India’s Cultural Diversity and Indian Perfect Masters.

A s I flip the calendar over to a new year it always causes me to pause and reflect on the opportunities

and challenges this last year has brought and what is on the horizon for 2015. What stands out to me is what I call the Bellevue

and Eastside marketplace convergence zone.

An entrepreneurial energy that comes from our startup communities as well as our established companies has us, in all respects, leading the nation in terms of job creation, ideation and top talent. Add to that an amazing environment where crowdfunding

provides startup capital for great business ideas.

This convergence zone fosters the strong

influence that technology has on local companies that need to be connected to what the customers of the future are demanding. Ideas that seemed farfetched a few years ago are becoming more mainstream. The opportunities in 2015 will continue to be centered around this tech revolution highlighted by these driv-ing factors.

n The Internet of things. We are in the center of the digital economy. Op-portunities of the future will be tied to the Internet, even if it is accessing data to grow your customer base or store information.

n The cloud will continue to be a part of the way business is done. Smaller compa-nies and individuals will access the cloud to provide economies of scale and efficien-cies for their company and also to allow for employee mobility.

n Mobile-powered apps and connectiv-ity will continue to grow. Online purchas-

ing is a $312 billion industry.n Wearables and smartphones will con-

tinue to be “hot” and the opportunities are endless, from health and fitness to rewards — “currencies of change” — programs (discounts or perks for being healthy).

n Increased usage of 3D printers and robots to not only decrease business costs but also increase customer satisfaction.

n Customers will continue to be in the driver’s seat demanding brands to align with their needs. You will see a focus on more “Fast Lane Solutions” to allow loyal customers to have accelerated service and be rewarded for their loyalty. Examples will be hotel loyalty programs where cus-tomers can check into their rooms via their phones or fast-food ordering programs with retina detection that can tell — by how long you view an item — what you are going to order and have it ready for you.

n Consumers in both the millennial and GenerationZ (born after 1993) believe that business brands should share their same values. They are also more focused on sharing and giving back to the community instead of owning a product or service. Hence we’ve seen the rise of car, bicycle, vacation home and equipment sharing op-portunities as well as apps that make it easy to share fares or split costs. The demand for these opportunities will continue.

Economic success also brings challenges, and to me these are the most pressing issues.

n Transportation and mobility. Get-ting people to work, kids to school and consumers to their destination is a critical component that will increase the economic impact of our region as improvements to our infrastructure are made.

n Access to Talent. Continuing to be the place of choice for talented people to want to live and work. There is global competi-tion and a talent shortage. These are the individuals who will propel our companies as well as generate ideas and products of the future.

n With all the opportunities available a big challenge (that also creates opportuni-ties) is how do companies navigate in a digital world that is very customized to reach customers. The days of 50 percent market penetration are long gone. Busi-nesses today have to be strategic to navi-gate the changing marketplace and find the best ways to connect with their perfect customer.

My hopes and dreams for 2015 are that the really smart people, who make our area a place of choice to live and work, continue to innovate. Their success provides an environment that is the envy of communi-ties around the globe. From my perspec-tive, this entrepreneurial energy makes the positives far outweigh the challenges, and I look forward to a very prosperous 2015.

Demolishing the cur-rent King County District Courthouse is anticipated to occur once the new facil-ity opens in May and take six weeks to complete, due to a number of contami-nants on the site needing to be removed. That includes a potentially leaking transformer and asbestos in portions of the building that will need to be hauled away during 68 roundtrips over a three-week period.

A water line and side sewer will be capped and abandoned by the city following demolition of the 22,000-square-foot structure. Sedimentation collectors will be construct-ed on the site to prevent contaminants and sediment from entering storm drains and nearby water sources.

Once demolition is completed, the city can begin work redeveloping the Surrey Downs Park,

the 2009 plans having to be revised after Sound Transit announced its East Link light rail guideway would be running over the court-house site.



Interlake High School senior Charlene Kwon has a long-term plan to one day become a politician, and her first behind-the-scenes foray in local government started this school year when she was accepted as an intern with Bel-levue Mayor Claudia Balducci.

“I was expecting a certain degree of complexity and detail, but I didn’t realize how much complexity and long hours go into certain things,” she said.

Those who complete the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program through Interlake in their junior year, like Kwon, have the option of taking elective courses or internships their senior year.

“I wanted to do something in politics, and I heard the previous mayor, Conrad Lee, had done internships, so I wanted to do one with the current mayor,” Kwon said.

Balducci said she was hesitant, at first, not wanting to take on another commitment, until she realized the benefits.

“I stopped thinking about it as work and started thinking about it as a real partnership,” she said.

Kwon has attended several city council meetings, vol-unteered with the mayor working at public events, helped shore up the time Balducci spends filing documents and will soon become her affordable housing liaison, working with A Regional Coalition for Housing in King County.

“Hopefully, the idea is by the end of the year we’ll have developed a plan for Bellevue and take the next steps,” Bal-ducci said of the city’s commitment to affordable housing. She added Kwon also can represent her at various events. “I can’t go to everything, but it’s really nice to send well-wishes to folks.”

Kwon plays the oboe and holds a black belt in taekwon-do. Growing up near the Somerset neighborhood of Bel-levue, Kwon said she’s interested in Puget Sound Energy’s Energize Eastside project and the redevelopment of the Lake Hills Shopping Center.

After school, she said she plans to study political science and economics before law school. She said once she be-

comes an attorney, she hopes to transition into politics.“Sort of what Mayor Balducci is doing now,” Kwon said.“You’re starting way earlier than I did,” Balducci said, “so

that’s a good thing.”

Mayor Balducci gets a little help

Brandon Macz, Bellevue Reporter

Interlake High School senior Charlene Kwon helps Bellevue Mayor Claudia Balducci file documents at City Hall on Monday, Dec. 22. Kwon is working as Balducci’s intern this school year to fulfill her final year requirements at Interlake through the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program.

Interlake High School senior Charlene Kwon considering career in politics

Services Director Nora Johnson.

Johnson said the sale of the 15-building Bellefield office campus earlier this year did not complicate the city’s plans, and the same company continues to manage the complex. Under the lease agree-ment, the landlord will cover the cost of tenant improvements, not in-cluding about $5 million the city will spend on upgrades.

The new district courthouse will consist of a central lobby, with three wings around it that include three courtrooms and administrative offices. About 5,000 square feet of space will be for probation services, Johnson said.

Parking will be underground, where a sally port will be used for inmates during prisoner transport to and from the courthouse. This will be a marked improve-ment over the current facility on 112th Avenue Southeast, where inmates are brought in from an uncovered parking lot. One inmate was able to escape custody in broad daylight last January, and wasn’t apprehended until a month later.

“We will have a much safer way to get them into the building,” Johnson said. “While it’s extremely rare to to have an issue with that, it’s still some-thing we want to avoid.”

The current district courthouse was con-structed in the 1960s and has been used by the county since 1986.

City hires new director of economic developmentSTAFF REPORT

The city has hired James Henderson to be its new economic development director, bringing the Bel-levue native back to imple-ment its economic plan, adopted by the city council in July.

Henderson is a Bellevue High School and University of Washington graduate, who also holds a master’s degree in European history from George Washington University and master’s in international studies from the University of Denver.

After holding positions in overseas development in Brussels and Washington, D.C., Henderson went to work for the Economic Development Department in San Antonio, Texas. He worked there since 2005, and was assistant director before taking the position with the city of Bellevue.

Oh, and there are seven working juke-boxes.

"I just want to say that I decorated my house in ways that can display my ever-revolving collections in a way that is fun," Fernandes said.

Fernandes grew up in the home in Bel-levue's Cherry Crest area and inherited it from her parents. She remembers a living room "where there was not much 'living' going on and only a room that was used maybe four times a year. What a wasted space," Fernandes said.

Not any more.It's different now on purpose.For the past 23 years, Fernandes has

handled the stressful job of a 911 operator with the King County Sheriff 's Office.

"It was important for me to have a house where I could relax and have fun, but more important for my friends and co-workers to come over and just hang out," Fernandes said. "Now I can proudly say that I not only have a living room, but I have an 'Awesome and Fun Living Space' all year round."

Fernandes got interested in, what she calls, the "thrill of the hunt" from a friend and co-worker, Manny Apostol.

"I saw how great his house was and could not believe that he could find all this stuff just through sales, thrifts stores, auctions and Craigslist," Fernandes said.

She estimates that at least 70-75 percent of the things she has collected have been sourced through those outlets.

"I pride myself in finding those inter-

esting items for little money that anyone can find if they just knew where to look," Fernandes said.

She prowls auction houses (Mroczek Brothers Auctions in Renton, Sunset Auc-tion in Lynnwood and District in Seattle's Georgetown area.

Despite what must be thousands of items that decorate each room of the house, Fer-nandes said many of them reflect what you can pick up for $5, $10 or $20. Two of her favorites, and slightly more expensive, are two 10-foot tall wooden Oriental antique dragons from the 1950s and a horseshoe couch. Each cost $100.

In what she calls the 'junkin’ season,' which runs from April until the end of October, "I go to as many estate and garage sales that I can, and also check out the Boom City Flea Market behind the Tulalip Casino," Fernandes offers.

She's also been able to turn to friends who are "great artists and craftsmen," Fer-nandes said.

Colleen O'Grady, formerly with the city of Bellevue Parks Department, has painted murals on the walls, including a bathroom decorated with street cards from a Monop-oly board, some with the names changed to reflect friends.

"The Monopoly bathroom is always a 'wow factor,' " Fernandes said.

Another friend, Phil Woodbridge, is cur-rently studying welding at Renton Techni-cal College and brought to life her vision of the automobile hubcaps sculpture that Fernandes has named "Ben Bellevue."

And if she ever tires of an item?"I just recycle those things through auc-

tions or eBay for the money," Fernandes said, "to buy new old stuff or start a new collection of something."

An epic day of failure three years ago has been a constant source of motivation for Bellevue Wolverines wrestler Christian Villani.

Flashback to February of 2012: Villani was on the cusp of advancing to the Class 3A state wrestling tournament as a fresh-

man. All he had to do was get past regionals to

clinch a berth at the Mat Classic Class 3A state wrestling tourna-ment at the Tacoma

Dome. Villani never got a

chance to wrestle at regionals because he couldn't make weight.

"I missed weight my freshman year at regionals. I was just .2 over the weight I needed to be at. Looking back at it now I'm kind of glad that I missed weight because I haven't missed weight like that again since," Villani said.

Villani rebounded from the freshman year setback, winning state titles during

his sophomore and junior seasons. � is year he is going for the three-peat.

"Once you get to the top it’s hard because you have to wrestle a little bit di� erently than you normally would. � e competition is tough and you have be at the top of your game and have the right mindset," he said. "Staying injury free is very important."

Villani is planning on continuing his wrestling career in college, but doesn't know where he will land as of yet.

Recently the Bellevue Reporter had an opportunity to ask Villani a few questions about his life away from the wrestling mat.

Bellevue Reporter: What is your favorite movie of all time?

Christian Villani: I like the movie "Limitless."

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?CV: I don't have that many, but one

thing that really bothers me is getting snuck up on. I just don't like being startled.

BR: If you could pick one person to go to dinner with, who would it be?

CV: Kyle Dake (former Cornell Uni-versity wrestler). He's a four-time NCAA champion. He is my idol for going Divi-sion-1 in wrestling.

The Bellevue Wolverines football program is accustomed to being in the national spotlight.

Not even a 35-13 loss against Eastside Catholic in the Class 3A state champion-ship game could prevent the Wolverines from basking in the glow of being recog-

nized as one of the top high school football programs in the United States.

� e Wolverines, who � nished the 2014 season with an overall record of 13-1, on Dec. 22 were ranked as the 40th best high school football team in the country by Scout.com for the 2014 high

school football season. � e Wolverines had won 67 consecutive contests (2010-2014) before su� ering their � rst defeat in � ve seasons in the Class 3A state title game.

Greta Jill FrohbieterBoulder lost a great citizen and a

wonderful soul on December 16, 2014 when Greta Jill Frohbieter succumbed to her battle with Melanoma.

Described by her family as “a daughter, a wife, a mom, a grandmother, and a best friend,” Greta spent a great deal of her life here in Boulder, but her generous spirit reached far beyond our county’s boundaries.

Born March 16th, 1961 in Bremerton, WA to parents Patricia (Nordman) Ge� e and Elmer “Pete” Ge� e, Greta graduated from Interlake High School in Bellevue, WA in 1979. She furthered her lifelong passion for knowledge at the University of Washington, earning a B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1983. She then worked as an aerospace engineer with RCA Astro-Space in East Windsor, NJ before embracing the teaching profession as a math teacher at Hedgepeth-Williams Middle School in Trenton, NJ. Greta married Alan Frohbieter on August 24, 1986 in Cranbury, NJ. In 1995, they relocated to Boulder, and Greta worked as a founding math teacher at the now-prestigious Summit Middle School.

During her time in Boulder, Greta continued her education, working tirelessly to earn a Masters in Math Education and pursuing her doctorate in the same � eld; she embraced her studies as long as life allowed. Beyond her academic ambitions, Greta enjoyed many diverse activities. She loved skiing, traveling, scuba diving, jogging, � ying, woodworking, cross-stitch, mountain biking, and, more recently, hiking with her grandson. Additionally, she was very active with St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church, NASA’s Educator Astronaut Program, and the Colorado Haiti Project, the latter a� ording her the opportunity for multiple mission trips to assist with math education in the troubled nation.

Greta is survived by her loving family: husband, Alan Frohbieter (Superior, CO); her parents, Patricia and Pete Ge� e (Bellevue, WA); son Brandon Frohbieter (Arvada, CO); daughter Kara Donoghue (Phoenix, AZ); brother Kurt Ge� e (Bellevue, WA); sister Rosalind Ando (Seattle, WA); grandson Dominic Frohbieter (Arvada, CO).

A memorial service was held on December 29th at 2:00 PM at St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church, o� ciated by Mary Kate Rejouis. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Aidan’s Episcopal Church (2425 Colorado Ave. Boulder, CO 80302) or the Melanoma Research Foundation (www.melanoma.org) at 1411 K. Street, NW Suite 800, Washington, D.C. 20005.

Startup companies account for a huge portion of job growth in the state, Olson said, but many have been unable to acquire the capital needed to succeed, which is where this new law �lls that void rather than letting startups “die on the vine.”

“We’ve lost a lot of signi�cant companies over the past couple years because they want to move to a better �nan-cial climate,” he said, adding the new legislation essentially opens up another $30 billion in potential investor capital that didn’t exist before.

Regulations state DFI must vet startup companies seek-ing crowdfunding, requiring a number of business and �nancial disclosures. Once approved, investors can view details of a company and decide how much they want to invest, buying ownership in that company.

People making less than $40,000 annually are capped at $2,000 in investments, while those making more than $40,000 can invest up to 5 percent of their gross income. �ose making $100,000 or more can invest up to 10 per-cent, while those making $200,000 or more can continue to make investments to whatever tune they wish, Olson said.

“Most of the companies will fail, but if you put a dollar in and the company is successful, you may get $100 back,” he said, adding the return will depend on the investment. Some companies may get sold or go public. “�e real question is,

where in this state are these companies going to call home?”Bellevue would be the preference, said Robinson, and

the city is already working to make it a startup destination — more so than it is now. �e city opened up its Lincoln Center o�ce space to Impact Hub last month, followed close behind by extraSlice’s Smart Space. �ese business incubators provide o�ce space, mentorship, networking opportunities and connections to investment capital, but there are still more local investors not investing in local businesses, Robinson said.

A consultant is expected to report back to the city council early this year with results of a feasibility study examining whether the city should consider creating its own investment portal for local startups that would be sup-ported by local investors, Robinson said. �e city is already developing a website to support Bellevue startups, with information regarding startup events, networking, mentor-ship and investor opportunities.

Olson said Texas passed its own crowdfunding legisla-tion four months a�er Washington, which means the Evergreen state needs to move fast. With the right brokers license, private and commercial crowdfunding sites should be going online early this year.

“(Texas is) coming, but we still have the opportunity to be the leader for the country,” Olson said. “If we have a city like Bellevue come on board, this could accelerate this whole thing by years.”


CROWDFUNDINGCONTINUED FROM PAGE 1


The Kemper Development Company has started the permitting process for an underground tunnel that will connect Lincoln Square to its counterpart tower under construction on Bellevue Way.

The tunnel will run from the fifth level of the Lincoln Square garage to the fourth parking level of Lincoln Square 2, providing two-way vehicle and pedestrian ac-cess below Northeast Sixth Street. Excavation work on

the expansion tower started in June, and Lincoln Square 2 will include 700,000 square feet of office space and 177,000 square feet for retail, dining and entertainment.

The northwest portion of the excavation is compli-cated by the adjacent Bellevue Arts Museum, which will need to be underpinned with a shoring system to stabilize its foundation, according documents in the city's Weekly Permit Bulletin.

KDC will also require permission from the city to use its right of way property to construct the Sixth Street tunnel.
