Bellevue Police are reviewing the process for transporting inmates following Wendell Downs' escape from custody at the Bel-
levue courthouse last month.Downs, 20, had been in custody since
Nov. 12, when he was booked on � rst-degree robbery, second-degree organized retail the� and two other felony the� charges. He was at the Bellevue Courthouse Jan. 31 for a misdemeanor tra� c case.
A Bellevue police support o� cer brought Downs and another inmate to the court-house from the King County Jail around
11 a.m. Both inmates had their hands shackled in front of them and feet shackled to prevent them from running.
Downs is reported to have started run-ning a� er he was helped out of the van and is believed to have been picked up by his girlfriend, Tanjanique Hillis, at the bottom of the courthouse driveway. Hillis was ar-rested at another King County Courthouse on Feb. 18 and Downs remains at large.
"Any time something goes wrong, we're going to take a look at it and see, one, if there is any training we need to do or any procedures or policies like that," said Bel-levue Police Lt. Marcia Harnden.
Downs is the third inmate to escape custody at the Bellevue Courthouse, said Harnden, and has avoided capture the

Monday, (University of Washington) Medicine made a “huge step forward,” according to Dr. Eugene Yang, in expanding its patient services on the Eastside.
� e UW Medicine Eastside Specialty Center opened doors on a new facility on Northup Way on Feb. 24, com-pleting the center’s move from its former 116th Avenue Northeast location.
Constructed from the ground up, the 33,000-square-foot Northup facility is a nearly fourfold expansion adding an urgent care clinic, more specialty services — such as gastrointestinal, echocardiology and sports medicine — expanded outpatient surgical capability and an on-site pharmacy and a reworked system for staging patients in examination rooms.
It will be able to employ 40 doctors and 80 support sta� , and take on double the center’s previous patient workload.
Yang is the medical director of the center and a clinical associate professor of medicine in UW Medicine’s cardiol-ogy division.
On a media tour a week before the center’s opening, while bustling workers were completing late-stage � nish-ing touches on their work, Yang demonstrated some of the innovations made in the facility’s layout. Both � oors’ public spaces are made up of long hallways demarcated by color to indicate specialty. Each section of hallway is its own waiting area; non-English speaking patients can request translation assistance through a dedicated phone service. � ese hallways are intersected by halls to examina-tion rooms.
“We’re set up to maximize e� ciency, as well as patient � ow,” Yang said. “Patients can do self-rooming, or they can

Woman dies when struck by truck on Bel-Red RoadBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER
Bellevue Police say a 20-year-old woman was killed instantly a� er being struck by a commercial truck while crossing Northeast 12th Street on Monday a� ernoon.
� e King County Medical Examiner’s O� ce has identi� ed Judith Lopez-Guerrero as the victim and lists a severe head injury as the cause of death. Her death is classi� ed as accidental.
Police report the commercial truck was
southbound on 124th Avenue Northeast when it made a right onto Northeast 12th and struck Lopez-Guerrero while she was crossing the street. It is not yet known if the woman was using a crosswalk.
� e truck driver, 57, of Snoqualmie is cooperating with police, said Bellevue Police Ofc. Carla Iafrate. Neither drugs nor alcohol are believed to have been a factor.

Redmond police served a search warrant in Factoria Wednesday morning on the hunt for evidence in a missing persons case from more than two years ago. � ey were accompanied by technicians from the state patrol crime lab.
Redmond resident Lorill Sinclaire was last seen on Nov. 8, 2011 in the area of Factoria Mall.
“We have a search warrant for one of our suspects, a former resident here at the apart-ments (on the 12300 block of Southeast 41st Lane),” said Mike Dowd, crime prevention o� cer and spokesperson for RPD. “We’ve
made some arrangements with current resi-dents, so they’re aware of what’s going on.”
Dowd said this process is a follow-up to the “no-body homicide” investigation that detectives have been consistently working on since 2011.
Sinclaire, who is divorced and previ-ously went by the name Lorill Bryden, is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, 145 pounds, with blonde/auburn hair and green eyes.
Her car, a burgundy 1991 Ford Escort, was found on Nov. 8, 2011 in the 4200 block of 124th Avenue Southeast, not far from the mall.
On Dec. 10, 2011, a volunteer search and rescue team from King, Snohomish and Pierce counties unsuccessfully searched a 2- to 3-square-mile wooded area around Coal Creek Parkway and Factoria Boulevard in Bellevue for clues to Sinclaire’s whereabouts.

Time for a hardline on those who drive while using their cellphonesAnyone who spends any time driving around here
won’t be surprised by the following “news” from a recent survey by Pemco Insurance:
Northwest drivers admit to cheating on the state’s texting while driving laws.
Well, duh!For a short time a� er the law kicked into e� ect, more
drivers than not appeared to be following the rules. Not any more. It’s easy to spot the sco� aws.
Drivers intently staring at their lap while at a stoplight most likely are texting. Worse, many are staring — and driving.
A check of some national statistics shows the danger. � e minimal amount of time a person’s attention is taken
away from the road when they’re texting and driving is 5 seconds. � at doesn’t sound so bad, except that if you’re traveling at 55 mph, this equals the length of a football � eld without looking at the road.
� e law is pretty clear about driving and cellphone use: it’s illegal for drivers to use a hand-held cellphone — stopped or not. And while some try to lessen the danger by using a speakerphone or hands-free device, the net result is about the same. According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Transportation, using those methods can be just as distracting.
Despite what many people may think, most cellphone calls or text messages don’t re� ect any emergency. Unless, of course, you answer the call or check the text and � nd that doing so has, in fact, caused an accident.
� e answer is for people to act responsibly and not use their cell phones while driving. But as we’ve seen with speeding, there’s apparently not enough responsibility to go around.
We expect police o� cers to take a hardline on speeding. We should encourage them to do the same for those driv-ing while using cellphones.

QUOTE
OF NOTE
Liberal approach has problems� e response to the CBO report that 2.5 million people
will choose to work fewer hours to qualify for health care subsidies exempli� es the di� erence between liberals and conservatives. Liberals welcome the opportunity for people to work less and no longer feel “locked” into their current job because it provides “insurance.”
Conservatives recognize that “someone” will have to pay the additional costs of providing the insurance, either through higher taxes or higher insurance premiums. � ey also know fewer full-time workers means less economic growth because fewer “goods and services” will be created with less demand because of reduced income. Fewer work hours also reduces the funds government gets for Social Security and all the other government entitlements, exac-erbating an already critical long-term problem.
It doesn’t bode well for our country’s future when people have an incentive to be more dependent on the govern-ment at the expense of those who refrain from doing so.

Inslee wrong on death penaltySo is this how Gov. Jay Inslee "energizes" his base — by
suspending the death penalty? Inslee "walked through the steps of an execution." So what? And he met with the people on death row. Again, so what?
All he did was fortify a preconceived bias against the death penalty. Oh yeah, he "met with the victims fami-lies." Likely just long enough to say that he met with the victims families.
Inslee claims to be worried about the cost of prosecut-ing the death penalty. I recall candidate Inslee, who cost the state $1 million to have a special election a few weeks early. I don't remember his concern then. How many prosecutions would $1 million fund?
� ese nine people on death row are the worst of the worst. � eir heinous crimes deserve the death penalty several times over. And Inslee tries to claim the cloak of humanitarianism. Unfortunately it drips blood red from all the innocent victims.

Inmate evaluation system brokenAre evaluations ever going to be done in a timely
manner so that inmates will not have to wait days and months? � is is a serious problem in the court system. It has been more than three weeks and my son is still wait-ing in jail for his evaluation.
Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill on May 16, 2013 for com-petency evaluations for inmates to be able to stand trial within seven days.
On Jan. 30, 2014, Lynn Moberly from Mercer Island Municipal Court informed me that my son's evaluation will be done on Jan. 31 or Feb. 3. Moberly told me to have "faith;" however, the evaluation never took place.
My son is disabled with autism, Asperger's syndrome, schizophrenia and neurological problems. Jail is not the right place for him. His public defender never has seen a case like this. My son hasn't been convicted of a crime.
I would like to thank all the agencies and people help-ing me in e� orts to obtain an evaluation. My hope is that my son and other inmates will receive their evaluations.

the o� stage area,” he said, opening a door between exam room halls. Behind the door is an o� ce suite with access to the exam rooms from the other side. “� is is one of our pods, set up to minimize exposure between our patients and health care providers’ work area. You can think of it a bit like Disneyland: When you visit, you don’t want to see what’s going on behind the scenes. It’s a new thing, something that hasn’t been (used) a lot in specialty clin-ics.”
� e pod system also allows some specialties to become modular within the center. Urology and neurology could be in red and blue pods, respectively, one day and blue and red on another depending on need.
Specialties with speci� c equip-ment needs – such as gastrointestinal medicine and physical therapy – have dedicated suites.
“Some of these services we’re able to o� er now. Before our patients would have had to go all the way to Harbor-view,” Yang said.
In the near future, the center will be
able to participate in clinical trials and research, he said. Monthly educa-tional seminars open to the public are already in the works.
� e center will hold an open house 1-3 p.m. May 17.
� e center is located at 3100 Nor-thup Way. More information can be found at eastside.uwmedicine.org.

longest. One escaped inmate was located by a K-9 hiding near the perimeter of the courthouse and another � eeing inmate was caught attempting to steal a getaway vehicle in a nearby neighborhood in 2000.
"Every indication was that this was a planned event and (Downs) clearly had help," said Harnden.
Police records state Hillis was contacted by Downs the day of his escape, who directed her to enter the courthouse and request information about his hearing. Witnesses and court employees identi� ed Hillis doing so, and law enforcement has recordings of the calls made by Downs from a jail phone.
When Downs made his escape, there was only one police support o� cer in charge of transporting him and the other inmate. Police support o� cers are not armed, said Harn-den, but receive the same academy training as Washington Department of Corrections o� cers.
"We're looking at her options," said Harnden of the PSO. "We're still working on that."
Police support o� cers also use their own discretion in determining whether to chain inmates together, she said, which depends on the number of o� cers and inmates pres-ent during transfers.
Harnden said the department is looking at ways to get better information about the inmates being transported be-forehand to better prepare and has already increased sta� ng on transports in the interim.
� e city of Bellevue has a new lease to relocate district court and probation services to the Belle� eld Building at 114th Avenue Southeast, which must be accomplished before spring 2015.
A court relocation committee met Feb. 18 and is in the initial phase of designing security for the new facility.

Several business owners in Old Bellevue have been granted an extension to vacate a block of properties slated to be demol-ished for another redevelopment project.
� e Gateway is proposed by
the Vander Hoek Corporation to be a mixed-use project on the northwest corner of Bellevue Way and Main Street that will include 370 residential apartments and 22,000 net rentable square feet of retail space and another 5,000 net rentable square feet of restau-rant space. � e project also will provide parking for about 600 vehicles.
Businesses contained within the block of Main Street, Bellevue Way, Northeast First Street and
103rd Avenue Northeast initially learned they would have until Feb. 28 to vacate the properties, but re-
ceived certi� ed letters Wednesday, Feb. 19, extending their eviction to April 30.
James Russell, owner of Ming’s Asian Gallery, said there’s no hard feelings for Stu Vander Hoek and his company. His lease states he would leave if redevelopment ever occurred.
“We just didn’t expect it to be so quick and in such short time,” said Russell, adding he’s having trouble � nding a� ordable space for relocating.

Keith Galpin said the city of Bellevue had been eyeing his property for a downtown park site for nearly a decade, but it was eminent domain and light rail that � nally forced the Christmas House owner to leave his Northeast Second Street shop.
Sound Transit plans to tear down the old red house and use the land for a staging area when it constructs a tunnel under 110th Avenue Northeast, as part of its East Link extension project. Galpin said the city
will later use the property for a new park. Galpin’s parents, Gerry and Shirley,
opened the Christmas House 40 years ago on Main Street. He took over the holiday decor business in 1982, when his father died. Shirley Galpin died in 2008. Galpin said he bought the Second Street house in 1997 because of the homey setting for his Christmas displays.
Now he’s looking for a new home.“Because they have the court on their
side, I have to vacate,” Galpin said of an

Bellevue knew when they signed their leases they would eventually have to make way for redevelopment, and many were happy for the added time to vacate. Other businesses include Cupcake Royale, Rudy’s Barbershop, Bellevue Barbershop, Cookies in Bloom, 7-Eleven, Araya’s Place and �e Spot O� Main, which is owned by Vander Hoek.
Construction is expected to take 22 months and will likely start in late spring or early summer, said Vander Hoek, add-ing preleasing won’t occur until at least a year from now. He hopes to �nd an anchor restaurant and �ll other retail space with the types of businesses common in Old Bellevue.
“�e idea would be like just like a shop-ping mall a tenant mix that works with what’s already here,” he said.
Michele Dillon, who owns Timeless El-egance with her husband, Michael, said she’s more concerned about the building where her business resides being demolished than her having to leave it. Built in 1948, the property has been a residence, a restaurant and an art gallery before Timeless Elegance opened there in 1989.
“People are very upset that this is going to be torn down,” Dillon said, adding people have come in to share their memories. “One guy had me take a picture of where he proposed to his wife.”
She said she has inquired with the Eastside Heritage Center about the history of the place and what could be done to re-locate the building like what was done with the Winters House. Vander Hoek, who also serves on the EHC board, said that won’t happen.
“It’s certainly not something that’s foreign to me that people would think there’s some sort of signi�cance to that house. I think clearly the direction for downtown Bellevue is not to save houses,” Vander Hoek said.

eminent domain lawsuit the city �led against him.
Galpin said he's made peace with having to vacate his storefront – now out of place among high-rises and a Marriott hotel currently under construction next door. But the value of his property remains a point of contention.
He said he's not satis�ed with the city's recession-level appraisal of his property, which was used in its purchase o�er. Because of the lawsuit, he said a new appraisal had to be done. If the matter of just compensation isn't resolved during mediation in mid-March, the case will go to court in April.
�e city does not discuss matters of pend-ing or current litigation, but Bellevue coun-cilmembers did approve a new contract with Paci�ca Law Group LLP in early February for $184,000 to continue to prosecute condemna-tion of the Christmas House and neighboring business, Trend Imports. �e auto sales busi-
ness plans to relocate to Northeast Bel-Red Road.
Galpin spent this week packing the last of his inventory, having liquidated a good portion of it during Christmas. He said he'd considered retiring, but was encouraged by long-time customers to keep the family busi-ness going.
"All of them were, 'You need to stay in business. We come here every year. It's part of our Christmas tradition,' " he said, adding he was touched by the loyalty of local customers. "�at's probably what kept us in business for such a long time."
Galpin said he's interested in several properties along Front Street in Issaquah, and could reopen his business as soon as fall. He added his sta�, many having worked at Christmas House for the past 30 years, would also appreciate it.
"�ey're the ones probably pushing hardest for me to reopen," he said with a laugh.

Seattle Optometrist Helps LEGALLY BLIND to See!
Patient Driving with Bioptic Telescopic Glasses
Just because you have macular degeneration (or other vision-limiting conditions) doesn’t always mean you must give up driving or reading. A Seattle optometrist, Dr. Ross Cusic, is using miniaturized binoculars or telescopes to help people who have lost vision from macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy or other eye conditions. “Our job is to figure out everything and anything possible to keep a person functioning,” says Dr. Cusic. “Whether it’s driving, reading, TV, seeing faces, check writing, bingo or bridge. We work with whatever is on the person’s ‘wish list.’”
With interest-free payment options this technology is now more a�ordable than ever. “De�nitely worth the $2150 cost. I should have come sooner,” said Dr. Cusic’s patient. For more information and a FREE telephone consultation, Call Today: 877-823-2020

A golden age of jetliners, rememberedBY DANIEL NASHBELLEVUE REPORTER
An author born and raised in Bellevue has released her debut book about the Jet Age and growing up as the daughter of a Boeing test pilot. “Growing Up Boeing: � e Early Jet Age � rough the Eyes of a Test Pilot’s Daughter” is a look at the people behind Boeing’s proli� c commercial jet development from the post-WWII era to the 1980s, framed by the author’s life in a company family.
Rebecca Wallick is the daughter of the late S.L. “Lew” Wallick Jr., Boeing’s chief test pilot during the introduction of the “7” series of jetliners. � e elder Wallick was the pilot or co-pilot on the � rst � ights of the 727, 737, 747SP and 767. In 1999, he was inducted into the Museum of Flight’s Path� nder Hall of Fame.
“� e biography part of this book isn’t just about my father, but all the men who worked on these jetliners and were a part of this age in � ight from the ‘50s to the ‘80s,” Wallick said. “I’m thankful for how lucky I was to sit down with them and hear their stories while it was still possible.”
� e quality Wallick’s father and other test pilots shared was a “joie de vivre,” as she put it, a zest for life and adven-ture they passed on to their children. Wallick described herself and her brothers as water skiers, snow skiers and general outdoor adventurers.
It was perhaps that quality of derring-do that inspired test pilots of the era to push their cra� to the limits. Flight
enthusiasts may remember Alvin “Tex” Johnston’s 367-80 barrel roll over Lake Washington in an August 1955 test � ight. � e stunt led Boeing to forbid its test pilots from rolling their planes, under threat of losing their jobs.
“Probably the biggest reveal was that Tex Johnston wasn’t the only one to roll one of those big jets,” Wallick said. “Whenever we asked our dad if he had rolled a plane, he would respond, ‘No, that was Tex.’ It wasn’t until I attended his retirement party in 1986 that they played footage of one of his test � ights and, yeah, there it was.”
Her father admitted to the roll formally in a later group interview with his peers. His colleagues were shocked, she said, but a few of them admitted to sneaking in their own rolls.
“To me, it’s kind of funny how hesitant they are to admit to it, even years later,” Wallick said.
Readers interested in taking in a snapshot of the personal side of Boeing’s post-war jet development can � nd “Grow-ing Up Boeing” available in print and e-book through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Kobo and SmashWords.Daniel Nash: 425-453-4290; dnash@bellevuereporter.com.

A joint operation by Bellevue School District and charitable organizations provided 38 students vision exams and glasses Feb. 12.
Vision assistance is a key mission for the Greater Bellevue Lions Club, which has historically supported area school nurses in obtaining vision appointments for students in need. � e school district in 2012 be-gan working with Jubilee REACH—a middleman organization for con-necting children to resources they need—to found an annual vision event. REACH recruited optometrist Sam Hsu of Vision Plus Redmond to
lead the annual examinations.� e third such vision event saw
141 Eyewear of Portland donate frames from its product line.
Hsu conducted 48 vision exams on students from kindergarten to 12th grade in a little more than two hours’ time.
“It is estimated that 80 percent of learning occurs through the eyes,” district lead nurse Sonja Reid said. “� e students provided with glasses from this volunteer event will now go forward with increased opportu-nity for success in school and life.”

“So they can � gure out what’s what without having to have labels everywhere,” said Nancy Kartes, garden manager. “� at way the visitor decides what they’re interested in and we don’t clutter these beautiful gardens with signs everywhere.”
� ere are more than 2,000 plant species in the Bellevue Botanical Garden’s database, which meant a lot of the groundwork was already covered, said Bill McKay, founder of Answers in Hand, which handled coding the
tags in the garden.“It’s going to be subtle, but it’s going to be
well recognized when you come into the garden” he said.
� e city is working toward completion of a new visitor center with a grand opening slated for mid-June, which is when Kartes said she hopes to debut the Tap to Learn program. Knowledgeable guides also will be equipped with tablets to assist garden goers.
McKay has partnered with the botanical garden to o� er local nurseries similar tags, letting their customers tap into the BBG’s da-tabase to educate themselves about the plants available for sale.
“We’re � nally at a spot here where we’re out of the pilot phase and ready to support people who need this functionality,” he said.

Heritage CornerA look at Bellevue’s past
Voices of Bellevue: John Sears
Eastside Heritage Center’s oral history collection contains more than 200 inter-views. In the following excerpt from his 1997 oral history (edited for clarity) John Sears remembers what it was like to cel-ebrate Halloween in Bellevue in the 1920s.
Interviewer: How did you celebrate Hal-loween? Did you trick or treat?
John: Well, it wasn’t so much the treat then, it was just trick. � at treat stu� didn’t come until a� er the Second World War, I don’t believe. I never heard of it until a� er that. You know, the guys would just do funny things. Like they used to have a com-munity clubhouse up there in Bellevue, and one time a young guy — I wasn’t part of this, this was before my time — they dismantled an old buggy and put it together on top of the clubhouse.
Interviewer: I think that was Bob Hen-ning’s father’s wagon. I’m not sure. [laugh-ter] I’ll have to ask Bob about that. My father also denied that he had anything to do with it. � ose two were probably hiding behind a tree.
John: Yeah! � at was too far away for me. We had to do our own thing around here (in Beaux Arts).
Interviewer: So you never knocked on
doors or …?John: No, we didn’t do that. � at was the
treat part.Interviewer: Do you remember getting a
costume?John: I don’t remember a costume, but
one time they had a thing called Fall Frolic over in the old clubhouse,where the guys put the wagon on the roof. � ey had all di� erent kinds of activities. And I remember they had this deal where I was the rear end of a horse.

A Pierce County woman whose son died days a�er a 2012 �ght in Bellevue Square is suing its owner, the bar where the incident occurred and the man alleged to have fatally injured Jacob A. Steinle.
Paula Harmes �led the wrongful death lawsuit in King County Superior Court on Feb. 14 – exactly two years a�er her son's death – naming Kemper Development as a defen-dant. �e suit alleges its Bellevue Square security guards did not intervene soon enough when Steinle became engaged in an altercation with Dain Cilley at the former Munchbar loca-tion on Feb. 10, 2012. It also faults the development company as the bar's landlord at the time of the incident.
�e lawsuit states Steinle was with a friend at Munch-bar between midnight and 2 a.m. that morning when they became involved in an altercation with Cilley that ended outside. Cilley is alleged to have struck Steinle in the face, causing his head to strike the wall of the establishment and leaving behind a dent. Kemper Security only intervened a�er the assault occurred, the complaint states.
Steinle reportedly complained about facial pain over the next few days leading up to his death. �e complaint states Steinle was found dead by his brother in an apartment they shared a�er he returned home from work around 5 p.m. Feb
14, 2012. �e suit claims Steinle died from a concussive brain injury
preceded by a seizure brought on as a result of being punched by Cilley, stating he is liable for battery and/or assault. �e King County Medical Examiner's O�ce listed Steinle's cause of death as undetermined, adding it did not have to do with a toxicological or disease-related condition.
�e complaint faults Munchbar for allegedly continuing to serve Cilley that night despite his apparent drunkenness and aggressive behavior, citing a history of violence by patrons at the bar from the time it opened to its closure in late 2012. Bellevue Police report 377 calls there from February 2011 to December 2012, including 22 for assault. Munchbar is a Ne-vada LLC that still operates a location in Las Vegas. Munch-bar is also accused of breach of duty for not intervening in the altercation and negligence for "failure to notify customers of its storied history of liquor violations and 911 calls."
Harmes is seeking damages and recovery of court costs re-lated to the suit, which was �led "for the bene�t of the minor children of Jacob A. Steinle."

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (re- ceipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quan- tity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the de- livery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.
