Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest is under investigation for possible criminal theft after he was caught removing city-confiscated campaign signs late at night.

The incident occurred just before 10 p.m. Sept. 24. A

Federal Way police officer had stopped by the auxiliary building on South 333rd Street, across from City Hall, when he observed Priest removing campaign signs from the so-called “sign jail” at the side of the building.

The sign jail is where the city stores confiscated campaign signs that are illegally placed in

the city. Sign owners must pay a fine to get the signs back.

The officer advised his supervisor because it appeared the signs were being stolen. The officer was suspicious because the activity was taking place at night.

In a letter dated Sept. 30, Chief Brian Wilson asked the Washington State Patrol to in-

vestigate the incident and “de-termine if prosecutorial and/or other review are warranted.”

Priest told The Mirror he received an invoice for the campaign signs Sept. 24 and wrote a check for $120 that same day. The city issued Priest a receipt at 11:06 a.m. Sept. 25. Priest provided copies of the

Mayor under investigation again

Opposition to a pro-posed low-income apart-ment complex at the site of Federal Way Public Schools’ former “bus barn” at South 320th and 11th Place South has been vocal since the plans for the develop-ment were made known in August.

DevCo Inc., the Bel-levue-based developer, has plans for 16 buildings containing 308 dwelling units, 18,440 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, and 10,294 square feet of ground-floor com-mon space for residents.

Many residents feel that this kind of structure would have a severe impact on traffic along South 320th

Street and have a detri-mental impact to single-family neighborhoods in the vicinity.

Federal Way Mayor Skip Priest gave a brief update

on the issue to the Federal Way City Council during the Oct. 1 meeting, say-ing the city’s hands

are tied in some respects, and also that

it appears DevCo Inc. may have played some games with the city regarding this particular project.

“The city cannot stop the proposed development by retroactively changing the zoning regulations,” Priest said. “The city did not learn of the developer’s intent to construct low- to moderate-income apart-ments until after (DevCo)

An unusually pow-erful and wet storm has drenched Western Washington last weekend, leading to record rainfall amounts throughout the state, including Seattle.

According to the Na-tional Weather Service’s (NWS) measurements on Saturday, Sept. 28, the region saw the wettest day recorded since 1948, with 1.71 inches of rain. The previous record of 1.65 inches in a day had occurred twice, in 1978 and 1953.

Federal Way expe-rienced the torrential downpour with impressive figures itself, with NSW spotters recording rainfall levels of 2.48 for that same day. According to one published report, a “spot-ter near Potlatch in Mason County reported an esti-mated 7 inches of rain — an estimate because that’s all the gauge could hold and it overflowed.”

Monday saw perhaps the most bizarre manifestation

of the inclement weather, when it was reported and confirmed that a tornado touched down near Fred-erickson in Pierce County. The tornado had a small impact, although various reports indicated that it

damaged nearby buildings, tipped over rail cars, and caused debris-blown dam-age to nearby cars.

Temperatures this weekend (Oct. 4-6) are expected to reach highs in the low- to mid-60s, with

intervals of clouds and sun, and rain expected on Sunday.

The owners of Mooyah Burgers, Fries and Shakes are changing the name — and going independent.

Stacks Burgers, Fries and Shakes will hold its grand opening Oct. 4 in Federal Way. The fast-casual restaurant is located 1706 S. 320th St., Suite A (behind Sterling Bank, near Trader Joe’s).

This is the first Stacks franchise, which officially opened under its new name on Sept. 20. Customers will notice lower prices and smaller portions compared to Mooyah, said Emmett Brost, director of communica-tions. Mooyah customers had reported that their orders came with too much food.

“We focus on getting the right portions

with the right price so that you don’t feel like you’re in a coma when you’re leaving,” Brost told The Mirror, adding that breaking free from the Mooyah brand has allowed

Stacks to fine-tune these details. “We were given the opportunity to go independent and we jumped all over it.”

Customers can still customize their burgers, which are made from

100 percent ground chuck that’s anti-biotic free. The menu includes kosher hot dogs, shakes made with real ice cream and fries cut from Washington potatoes.

In addition to further remodeling at the Federal Way location, the Stacks executive team has plans to expand the franchise, Brost said. Stacks recently posted an ad on Craiglist to announce job openings. Mooyah had originally opened April 15.

Business is buzzing at Celebration Center, located at the southwest corner of S. 320th Street and Pacific Highway in Federal Way.

The site is anchored by Black Bear Diner, Rite Aid, Party City, Michael’s and a newly renovated Ross Dress for Less.

Several new develop-ments will arrive in the coming months, including a wine store and a “mystery” fast-food franchise.

The recent activity re-flects an upturn in people’s spending habits, said Jordan Schnitzer, president of Portland-based Harsch Investment Properties.

Retailers are getting ahead of the curve as the economy shows signs of recovery, he said. The reces-sion and its aftermath were more prolonged than any-thing Schnitzer had seen in 45 years.

At Celebration Center, the renovation of Ross has helped increase the store’s sales due to a stronger visual presence and up-dated layout, he said. The entrance and parking lot were also realigned.

“We’ve spent a lot of money on that corner,” Schnitzer told The Mirror. “It’s important for us to put the right tenants in to create new employment in Federal

Bothell man dies in motorcycle accident on I-5 in Federal WayMIrrOr StAFF repOrtS

A Bothell man died in a motorcycle accident last Saturday in Federal Way.

The incident occurred just before 5 a.m. Sept. 28 on northbound I-5 just off South 320th Street, according to the Washington State Patrol.

William Albert Bissell, 42, was traveling northbound on his Harley Davidson in the HOV lane when he lost control and was ejected to the left shoulder of the road, according to the state patrol. The motorcycle came to rest in the HOV lane. Bissell died of his injuries.

The cause of the accident is under investigation. It is unknown whether drugs or alcohol were involved. The rider was wearing a helmet.

Way.”When construction

wraps up in 2014, Celebra-tion Center will feature new facades, signage and new tenants. More an-nouncements will be made in the coming months, said Dave Moore, senior vice president of retail operations for Harsch.

“We really find the city of Federal Way a pleasure to work with,” said Moore, noting the cooperation of city staff as Harsch has developed the site.

Under construction is a new store for alcohol retail giant Total Wine and More, which is slated to open in the first quarter of 2014.

Harsch is also working on a deal with Half Price

Books as another possible tenant.

In 2014, Bank of America will upgrade its building to the latest prototype. On the

property’s south side, the former PJ Pockets

Casino will undergo remodeling to make way for an as-yet-unnamed restaurant

and sports bar, Moore said.Harsch is working with

a national fast-food chain that’s set to debut in the local market. The deal is 90 percent complete, said Moore, who would not reveal the mystery tenant.

“I do think it will be a welcome addition to the corridor,” he said.

On that note, The Mirror followed up on a rumor in late July that Georgia-based

Chick-fil-A was coming to Federal Way. The popular chicken sandwich franchise plans to open a restaurant near the Tacoma Mall, according to The News Tribune.

A representative from Chick-fil-A would nei-ther confirm nor deny the rumor of a Federal Way location.

“All I have to commu-nicate at this time is that Chick-fil-A would love to be in Federal Way, WA. However, we don’t have anything that we can com-municate at this time,” said Brenda Morrow, public re-lations for Chick-fil-A Inc., in an email to The Mirror in July. “Feel free to check back in with us later in the year, and hopefully I will have more to share.”

From staFF reports

Franciscan Health System has introduced 3D mammography as part of its comprehensive and ad-vanced breast care services for women in South Puget Sound.

The new technology, also known as digital breast tomosynthesis (or tomo), improves the early detec-tion of breast cancer by up to 30 percent and reduces the need for additional breast screenings.

Traditional 2D digital mammography continues to be the standard of care for breast screenings. The new 3D mammography technology combines with conventional 2D mam-

mography to provide an enhanced 3D image of the breast.

“3D mammography will soon become the standard of care for women in Pierce and South King coun-ties,” said Khai Tran, MD, Medical Director at Carol Milgard Breast Center and Franciscan’s Women’s Health and Breast Center at St. Francis Hospital in Federal Way.

“When a diagnosis is found with this advanced technology, Franciscan provides patients with a multi-disciplinary, patient-centered plan of care that’s close to home.”

The screening experience for women will be similar to what they’ve experienced

in the past. During the 3D part of the exam, an X-ray arm sweeps over the breast, taking multiple images in seconds. There’s no ad-ditional compression. The extra imaging only takes a few more seconds.

The American Cancer Society recommends that women 40 years and older should get a yearly screen-ing mammogram.

Women do not need a written referral for a routine annual screening mammogram.

breast cancer research.Participants raised a minimum of

$2,300 each and walked an average of 20 miles a day for three consecutive days, urging people to take action.

Seventy-five percent of the net proceeds raised by the 3-Day will help support Komen’s Research and Training Grant Program and large public health outreach programs for women and men facing breast cancer. The remaining 25 percent helps fund local community and affiliate support and outreach programs.

You’ve heard the sta-tistic before: One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. So chances are you know someone who has been affected by the disease, and you may be wonder-ing what you can do to stay cancer-free.

One of the most impor-tant things you can do is get screened annually.

“If you develop breast cancer, the earlier it’s detected, the easier it is to treat,” said Richard Gould, MD, division chief for Sur-gical Services, Franciscan Medical Group.

The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends

annual mammograms start-ing at age 40. If you have a family history of the disease or other risk factors, your doctor may suggest starting mammograms earlier. The ACS also recommends clinical breast exams every three years for women in their 20s and 30s, and an-nually for women ages 40 and older.

It’s important that wom-en perform regular breast self-exams. Research shows that you don’t have to fol-low any specific method — just get familiar with what’s normal for your breasts. Check your breasts about once a month so you’ll be able to know if something doesn’t feel right.

If your mammogram shows an abnormality, you

may be called to have a second clarifying mammo-gram, or your doctor may recommend a biopsy.

“We’re often able to schedule the biopsy within a day or two to minimize the amount of time patients wait,” Dr. Gould said.

Every patient and every lump is different, so the diagnostic tests a person receives may vary, and may include an ultrasound or an MRI.

The Women’s Health and Breast Center in Fed-eral Way — a designated NQMBC Center of Excel-lence — gets high marks for excellent patient care and treats women with a holistic approach offering:

• Alternative medicine and therapies

• Bone density testing• Digital and screening

mammography• Incontinence and pelvic

pain• Oncology skin care

therapy• Ultrasound• Access to support

groupsFranciscan surgeons offer

different surgical proce-dures for treating cancer, including a lumpectomy (removing the tumor and some tissue around it) or a mastectomy (removing the entire breast). For women who choose a mastectomy, general surgeons work alongside plastic surgeons who reconstruct the breast either during the same pro-cedure or in a later one.

Patients may also un-

dergo chemotherapy before or after surgery, depending on the type and size of the tumor. Patients who have a lumpectomy often receive radiation to eliminate microscopic cells that may remain after the surgery.

Screening is important, and learning that you have

breast cancer can change your life in an instant.

Breast Center is located at the St. Francis Medical Pa-vilion, 34503 Ninth Ave. S., Suite 320, Federal Way, WA 98003. Call (253) 944-4025.

You know that eating fruits and vegetables is important for your overall health, but did you know eating lots of produce can also reduce your risk for cancer? The key is filling your plate with many differ-ent colors.

“The same plant chemi-cals that give different fruits and vegetables their colors also help protect your body against cancer,” said Tricia Sinek, RD, a Franciscan Cancer Care expert. “Phy-tochemicals are naturally occurring compounds and they protect your cells when you eat them.”

Different types of phy-tochemicals protect your body in different ways, so consuming a variety of produce colors is key for reaping as many benefits as you can.

For instance, some phytochemicals suppress the growth of cancer. Oth-ers help your cells unload toxins that otherwise may damage the genetic material inside of your cells, thus contributing to cancer. Others strengthen your cell walls so they’re less prone to form harmful com-pounds in your body.

“Ideally, you want to consume a minimum of five servings of fruits and veg-etables per day with at least

one food from each color group,” Sinek said. Color groups include:

• Purple and blue foods: grapes, beets, berries and eggplant

• Red and orange foods: tomatoes, pep-pers, apples, oranges and sweet potatoes

• Green and yellow foods: kale, spinach, broccoli, string beans and squash

In addition, consume

plants that provide lots of aromas and flavors because

they often contain cancer-preventing prop-erties, Sinek said. Examples of these plants include garlic, onions, herbs, spices, horseradish and olives.

One of the best ways to increase the variety of colors, odors and flavors in your diet is by starting slow.

Choose one food from a color group for a day.

After a few days, add another color so that you’re getting at least two servings of brightly colored plants. Continue adding colors to your diet, experimenting with new foods and flavors to discover what you enjoy.

“It’s been shown that we eat with our eyes first. So if your food is beautiful, it enhances your enjoyment,” Sinek said. “At the same time, you’re reducing your risk for disease.”

Put cancer prevention on your plate“The same plant chemicals that give different fruits and vegetables their colors also help protect your body against cancer.”


A cancer diagnosis brings up emotions — and questions.

“How will I care for my ailing husband during treatment?”

“Can I afford to take time off from work?”

“What will treatment be like?”

“How will I tell the kids?”

If you’re diagnosed with cancer at St. Francis Hos-pital in Federal Way, you don’t have to face these or any other questions about your treatment alone. A Franciscan cancer nurse navigator is available to support you from diagno-sis through survivorship.

“When you’re diag-nosed, you don’t know what to expect,” said Tricia Sinek, RD, co-manager of Franciscan Community Cancer Program. “You’ve been given information that sounds like a foreign language.”

A nurse navigator helps explain what each of your appointments and tests mean, why they’re impor-tant, and why it’s critical to make sure they’re com-pleted within a specific period of time.

“All our nurse naviga-

tors have many years of oncology experience,” said Sinek. “They are instrumental in support-ing and advocating for the patient.”

Nurse navigation is an important part of cancer care.

“I provide insight into what a patient’s treatment journey might look like,” said Susan Nixon, RN, Franciscan nurse naviga-tor. Nixon serves breast cancer patients across the Franciscan system. However, there are nurse navigators for every type of cancer diagnosis.

There are many areas where your nurse naviga-tor can help ensure your needs are being met including social support, transportation, com-munity programs and nutrition resources. If you have financial concerns or difficulty understanding complex treatment recom-mendations, your nurse navigator will also help address these issues.

Anyone diagnosed with cancer can call for help from a Franciscan nurse navigator, regardless of where you received your diagnosis. To learn more, call (253) 835-8100 or visit http://www.fhshealth.org/St-Francis-Hospital

The race between appointed incumbent Diana Noble-Gulliford and candidate Martin Moore should be the closest of the three city council races, and provides some inter-esting contrasts.

While both have a commitment to the community, they are very different people. Noble-Gulliford is female, Re-publican, moderate-conservative, and has played a part in almost every civic issue for several decades. The cityhood committee, Friends of the Hylebos, the Historical Society of Federal Way and the City Planning Commission are just a few of her areas of involvement. Her background also includes banking and real estate.

Supporters describe Noble-Gulliford as a “doer” who doesn’t seek the spotlight. Although she ran unsuccessfully for the council before, her appointment is the culmination of a lifelong journey of community participation. While politically active, higher office seems unlikely for her. And don’t be fooled by her quiet unas-suming manner — she can be firm in pursuing goals that she feels are best for the city, and she can hold her ground even when pressured.

That background has provided Noble-Gulli-ford a seasoning that usually only comes after several years in office. She has been endorsed by School Board President Tony Moore, and fellow Councilmembers Susan Honda and Kelly Maloney. She will get support from much of the Republican establishments. Her Munici-pal League rating was “very good.”

While Noble-Gulliford has been part of the

community fabric for years, Martin Moore’s visibility is more recent and, in some ways, more representative of a “newer” Federal Way.

Moore has lived here most of his life after being adopted by a Federal Way couple as a child from his native Bul-garia. He may lack Noble-Gulliford’s lengthy experience, but his time with AmeriCorps and personal background provide cultural awareness, and his knowledge of City Hall includes time on the Parks and Rec Commission.

While this is Moore’s first run for elected office, he is far from a beginner, as he has man-aged several local campaigns. He is an active Democrat and has the endorsement of many Democratic officeholders.

But he also ran Bob Celski’s successful campaign for the city council. Since Celski is viewed as a conservative and likely a Repub-lican, some Democrats weren’t happy about Moore’s participation.

However, the Democrats did endorse Moore, and his assistance to Celski yielded an endorse-ment from Celski, which might have typically gone to fellow conservative council member Noble-Gulliford. That’s a gain for Moore in seeking crossover voters, but a big risk for Celski if Moore doesn’t win, especially when his own re-election comes up in two years. Moore also got the support of Len Englund, who is a former Republican district chairman.

Moore is described as a “hard worker” and is supported by Congressman Adam Smith,

PACC proposal isn’t in city’s best interest

I write this letter not for any ben-efit of my own, but to express my concern over the idea of creating a Federal Way Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC).

Though I only provide three points here, I could go on for about 15 more.

1. I grew up as a resident of Federal Way, attended Thomas Jefferson High School and subse-quently studied drama at New York University. Many of my profes-sors had designed, performed and directed on the Broadway stage.

It was here that I learned early

and often about the mechanics of running a “successful” arts orga-nization. For beginners, it takes a complete and full-time staff, both in development and in marketing — people who will tirelessly work for something they believe in that is bigger than themselves.

But more importantly, there needs to exist a desire for that cul-ture. As you might imagine, New York City is one of the premiere spots in the world for people seek-ing culture. Even still, organiza-

tions with far less than $31 million (which Federal Way hopes to pour into the PACC) fight for survival. It pains me to read this week that the New York City Opera will be filing for bankruptcy. That is the top op-era in the United States. These are companies with established season ticket holders, borderline celebrity talent, and legacies we can only dream of in our dear city and still, they falter under today’s economic climate and cultural interest.

2. What is additionally concern-

ing is the PACC website stating that “Lorax Partners of Seattle engaged an expert in performing arts center management to provide an independent operational pro forma analysis of the proposed PACC.” An expert that manages a facility? This study hardly seems comprehensive to me. If a private business were investing $31 million, they would certainly do extensive research across multiple centers in many, many cities with a diverse group of experts before ever laying the first stone. We as a public should hold the decision makers in our com-munity to that standard.

3. While at Thomas Jefferson

Mirror’s editorial board: Rudi Alcott, publisher; Andy Hobbs, editor; Joann Piquette, retired and community advocate; Bob Dockstader, retired attorney; Joan Tornow, author, school volunteer and mentor; Bob Case, journalism trainer and former news announcer; Don Hyun, tech industry consultant.Contact the board: [email protected]

It seems everywhere I go in town, people are mad as hell about Federal Way Public Schools.

This year there is something for everyone. Blood is boil-ing over the superintendent’s $42,000-per-year “perfor-mance” raise, the school board’s $80,000-plus travel budget, the poor grades given to our schools by the state, and finally, the arrest of the school board’s president.

Last but not least, I recently learned that the Wildwood Elementary staff are, understandably, upset that I suggested their school be closed after receiving an “F” grade.

Unless you’re willing to take action, being mad as hell is only going to result in high blood pres-sure and maybe an ulcer. Before we form a lynch mob, let’s first get some perspective.

Community ire with FWPS started when it was announced that the superintendent received a $42,000 raise, putting his salary (not including benefits) at $240,000. Rob Neu is now tied for second highest paid superintendent in the state, despite being the eighth largest district and rank-ing 129th in test scores.

While Neu’s salary may seem absurd, you would be hard-pressed to find a CEO of a company with $204 million of revenue who isn’t being paid significantly more than Neu. On the other hand, the governor oversees a budget of $32 billion for a “mere” $166,000 salary.

Just as this fire was getting started, the commu-nity realized that the superintendent and school board will be spending some $80,000 to travel the world. Ignoring that one of the country’s top edu-cation consultants lives in Federal Way, or that the Gates Foundation is just up the road, the school board decided that the grass was greenest outside of the U.S.

In fairness to the school board, $80,000 rep-resents just 0.04 percent of the district’s annual budget. This would be similar to a family earning $100,000 and spending $40 on a couple of self-help books.

On the other hand, you could almost hire two teachers with the school board’s travel budget.

If these two items weren’t enough to sharpen the pitchforks, school board president Tony Moore was arrested on charges of felony theft. In my mind, this is a non-issue. If he is found guilty, I’ll be the first to demand his resignation. Until proven guilty, Moore is innocent and should be treated as such.

If you’re still mad as hell, I suggest one or more of the following actions:

• Volunteer at your local school• Write a letter to the editor• Actively support school board candidates who

are running against an incumbent

Q: Mr. Federal Way, impressive couple weeks for the mayor of Federal Way and the president of the school board, right?

A: For some reason, Mr. Federal Way thinks you are being just a little bit sar-castic with that question, and that made Mr. Federal Way chuckle.

Federal Way School Board President Tony Moore and Mayor Skip Priest have both provided “front-page news” across Western Washington within the past week. And not the “good” kind of front-page news. Intentional

or not (and that will be determined at a later date by people other than Mr.

Federal Way), Moore and Priest have brought at-tention that the city of Federal Way didn’t need.

Obviously, we live in America and people are in-

nocent until proven guilty. But Moore being arrested for allegedly stealing more than $150,000 worth of semi-truck tires, and Priest being under investigation for possible criminal theft after he was caught remov-ing city-confiscated cam-paign signs late at night, just doesn’t look good.

Not at all. It makes Federal Way

seem like the wild, wild west or something. The perception outside of town is that Mr. Federal Way lives in a place where people in charge can do whatever they want.

Mr. Federal Way will take on the Moore case first. If convicted, the school board president faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, which is a very, very big deal.

One thing Mr. Federal Way has learned over the years is that Mr. Federal Way never wants to spend one minute in prison. Mr. Federal Way loves his free-dom, to say the least.

Moore was arrested at SeaTac Airport as he board-ed a plane to Amsterdam on a $50,000 trip sponsored

by the school district. He was released from King County Jail on Sept. 20 after posting a $50,000 bond.

But the arrest isn’t what has everybody up in arms on The Mirror’s comment board. It was the Fed-eral Way School Board’s taxpayer-funded trip to Europe that created most of the venom, which is weird.

Mr. Federal Way tends to not see the point of taking my tax dollars and sending elected officials to Europe. Moore, along with Superintendent Rob Neu, also made a trip to China in April at a cost of $33,350.

What’s the point? Mr. Federal Way has no idea. From the outside looking in, the trips seem like a giant waste of money that could be diverted elsewhere

within the school district. Mr. Federal Way, who has kids going to school within the district, could come up with a very long list of different ways to spend all that cash.

Neu was quoted as say-ing that the global travel “will ensure our students are prepared for a more competitive, diverse and interconnected world than the one we grew up in.”

Mr. Federal Way would like our students to be prepared for life in Federal Way before worrying about China or Amsterdam. How does going to a physical classroom in Asia and Europe help students in Federal Way?

If you want to visit a classroom across the world, set up your smartphone and

Skype each other. Wouldn’t that accomplish the same thing and cost a grand total of $0? Skype is a free app.

As Neu said, we need to ensure our students are pre-pared for an interconnected world, and nowadays, it’s very, very easy to be inter-connected. And it doesn’t take jumping on a Boeing 747 to do that. All you need is an iPhone or a laptop.

Mr. Federal Way can sit at the computer and surf blogs and other websites that describe, in detail, the nuances of the educational system in Amsterdam, pros and cons. That’s being interconnected, folks.

The case of Mayor Priest is different than Moore’s predicament. That’s not say-ing Priest shouldn’t get into

In addition to these actions, perhaps it is time to start our own charter school. With no disrespect to the fine teachers and administrators in our district, our current system is broken. While charter schools are hardly a miracle cure, we might get better results than the trips to Europe. Either way, posting on Facebook doesn’t do a damn thing. If you’re angry about Federal Way Public Schools, do something about it.

Federal Way resident Matthew Jarvis: [email protected]

former state legislator Mark Miloscia and school board member Claire Wilson. Moore’s Municipal League rating was “good.”

As expected Moore has received donations and endorsements from many unions including the Fed-eral Way Police Guild, but in another twist in a season full of them, Councilmem-ber Dini Duclos’ partner, Linda Purlee, has donated to Moore. That’s another risk in council relationships if Moore doesn’t win.

On policy issues, neither candidate in this race would raise taxes to pay for

the Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC), although both support it. Both place public safety as a high priority. Noble-Gulliford wants more focus on economic development, and Moore emphasizes better connection to the neighborhoods.

Moore came out of the primary with a slight lead. However, the third-place finisher Ryan Miller is a Re-publican who has endorsed Noble-Gulliford, and their combined vote total was higher than Moore’s.

Moore also ran the suc-cessful campaign of Demo-crat Roger Freeman to the state Legislature. Free-

man has endorsed Moore and also hired him as his legislative assistant. Moore believes his connection to Olympia would be helpful if he is elected.

In contrast, 30th District State Rep. Linda Kochmar (R) is supporting Noble-Gulliford. Even though the vote is still weeks away, some political observ-ers think Kochmar might also be playing defense. If Moore wins, he would be well positioned to run against her in the future.

But first things first. City positions are non-partisan, but party politics will play a role in who wins. Repub-licans have more issues,

candidates and reasons to vote. Even with an expected low turnout, the Republican base will mail their ballots. The bigger question is, will Democrats do the same? And how much will the Federal Way mayoral race, the school district’s contro-versies and the PACC affect turnout?

A big turnout helps Democrats, but a small turnout helps Republicans.

The upcoming debates could change it, but for now, a slight edge goes to Noble-Gulliford.

Federal Way resident Bob Roegner, a former mayor of Auburn: [email protected].

High School, I participated in three of the yearly musicals that consis-tently received recognition from the 5th Avenue Awards honoring high school musical theater. In my senior year, our production of “The Secret Garden” was nominated for eight individual awards while also receiving five honorable mentions. It was truly an incredible piece. Yet even still, our Little Theater of just over 100 seats remained unfilled during a couple of performances. The PACC will not be a case of “if you build it, they will come.”

My opinion? Give even 1 percent of the PACC’s total cost to Laird Thornton over at TJHS and watch the magic he can create with a whole army of “theater moms” to run promotion. That kind of atten-tion will draw arts-minded families to Federal Way. Give Alan Bryce over at Centrestage Theatre a strong marketing budget to drive traffic to the fantastic shows he puts on. That kind of attention will draw crowds whose kids aren’t part of the school system. Hire someone to drive all of this proposed traffic to the Knutzen Family Theatre and Dumas Bay. Create summer programs that help engage the youth from a cultural standpoint. Federal Way is a city of families. Like Federal Way’s sports clubs, the community will get behind what their kids are passion-ate about.Daniel Angeles, Federal Way

trouble if he really snuck into a gated area where illegally-placed campaign signs are stored.

But, if found guilty of sneaking into Federal Way’s “sign jail,” Priest won’t be spending any time in prison.

A Federal Way police officer had stopped by the city’s “sign jail” near City Hall when he observed Priest removing his campaign signs. The officer advised his supervisor because it looked like the signs were being stolen, and because the activity was taking place at night.

According to Priest, the whole sign debacle is a big misunderstanding because of the “silly political season.”

Priest claims he wrote a check for $120 the same day he was caught taking the signs from “sign jail,” and a city employee gave a statement that the mayor paid for the signs prior to retrieving them. However, that employee’s statement was withheld from release due to the investigation, according to a police spokeswoman.

Pretty crazy stuff. It’s also stuff that doesn’t make the city of Federal Way look very good.

Q: How about them Seahawks? Can you get me tickets?

A: The Seahawks are good. Really, really, really good, actually. Super Bowl good. And, no, Mr. Federal Way cannot get you any tickets.

But your question did make Mr. Federal Way check out how much getting tickets to a sold-out Seahawks game would be. Let’s just say it costs a lot. The cheapest tickets Mr. Federal Way could find to the Seattle-New Orleans game Dec. 2 at CenturyLink Field was $194.50 per seat.

Pretty aggressive. Mr. Federal Way will stick to watching the games on

Mr. Federal Way’s high-definition TV and not paying $10 for a beer.

Go Seahawks!Q: Hey Mr. Federal Way, why does

the pumpkin only get “love” during the month of October?

A: That is a great question and something Mr. Federal Way has never thought about until now. Thinking a little more about it, Mr. Federal Way would love to eat and drink pumpkin-flavored delicacies all year long.

Who doesn’t like a big piece of pumpkin pie with a scoop of home-made whipped cream on the top? It’s perfect. Starbucks also sells an amaz-ing amount of pumpkin spice lattes during the fall every year, but they are off the menu after Halloween.

Mr. Federal Way thinks the extremely short pumpkin window exists because the pumpkin is only “in season” during the fall. But that can’t be the case because Mr. Federal Way can buy corn and avocados all year round. Can’t you grow everything in a greenhouse or something?

It kind of reminds Mr. Federal Way of the Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s. The fast-food king only sells the mint-flavored shake around St. Patrick’s Day every year, and people can’t get enough of them. It would seem like a good business decision to offer the Shamrock Shake year round.

So, in conclusion, this question has got Mr. Federal Way thinking about a possible business venture to oc-cupy one of the seemingly hundreds of empty storefronts in town. Mr. Federal Way will call it “The Pumpkin Patch” and it would sell pumpkin-flavored everything, plus a similar version of the Shamrock Shake.

Swim preview: Ramey looking for additional state meet hardware

By CASEy OLSON

[email protected]

The Federal Way High School girls swimming and diving team isn’t lacking for individual talent this season. Longtime head coach Carla Boone brings back two of the better athletes this year in Kenna Ramey and Tia Thomas.

Ramey pulled off the rare double at last season’s Class 4A Girls Swimming and Diving Championship inside the King

County Aquatic Center. Ramey repeated her state championship swim in the 50-yard freestyle and also won the 100-yard butterfly gold medal. Both winning times were personal bests, which is the goal of any swimmer.

Ramey swam a blazing 23.44 to easily outdistance Wenatchee’s Hannah Bruggman (23.68) in the 50 free. Ramey’s time was good enough to earn automatic All-American honors.

Ramey also went wire-to-wire in the 100 fly final, finishing in a time of 56.00. The swim was good enough to earn All-American consideration.

Thomas also had an impressive performance at the state meet. As a sophomore, Thomas garnered a bronze medal at state by scoring

349.7 points in the 1-meter diving event.

Joining Ramey and Thomas as returners for the Eagles will be junior Kolby Blake, senior Lynsey Yunker and sophomores Jenin and Karen Um. Federal Way is hoping to improve on the 5-2 record they compiled in the South Puget Sound League last season.

“Their ability to get along with each other and help each other whether it is in the pool, at school or outside of school is a strength of this team,” Boone said. “The success of this team is not counted in wins or losses. The success for FWHS is how well they work as a team and see themselves as a fam-ily. From our state champion (Ra-mey) to our newest members that

Golf: Titans find a new course at Twin Lakes

By CASEy OLSON

[email protected]

The Todd Beamer golf program was left on the outside looking in. Just a month before the fall high school sea-son was set to begin, the Titans were informed that their home course, Sum-ner Meadows, would be shutting down.

But that’s when Beamer’s head boys coach, Brent Brilhante, and girls coach, Justin Men-tink, along with the Titans’ athletic direc-tor, Jerry Peterson, contacted Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club.

After sitting down with Twin Lakes head pro Chris Johnson, a pair of country club board members and Decatur head coach Kevin Olson, the Beamer staff came up a plan to make Twin Lakes Beamer’s new home course. Twin Lakes already is the home course for Decatur, where Bril-hante and Mentink graduated.

“We worked out a schedule that day and it has worked out perfectly for our kids,” Brilhante said. “We are so thank-ful for Twin Lakes saving our season and hope to continue having this awe-some club as our home course.”

Wrap up: Eagle football back on track

By CASEy OLSON

[email protected]

The big plays were back for the Federal Way High School football team Thursday night. A week after dropping the program’s first South Puget Sound League South Division game since 2010, the Eagles dominated the Bethel Braves Thursday, 45-18, at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

Federal Way’s dynamic offense tallied five touch-downs in the first three quarters of 49 yards or longer against Bethel (1-3). The victory comes after

Graham-Kapowsin beat the Eagles, 39-21, last Thurs-day. Federal Way has won the last two SPSL South Division championships.

The Eagles (3-1) bolted out to a quick 19-0 lead after the first quarter on a 49-yard touchdown pass from senior Keenan Curran to Chico McClatcher, a 72-yard Curran run and a 52-yard touchdown pass from McClatcher to Max Lautalo.

After a 44-yard Bethel field goal made it 19-3, Federal Way tallied the next three touchdowns to take a commanding 38-3 lead into the fourth quarter. McClatcher scored on a 67-yard run, Curran had a 96-yard touchdown run and Travis Martin caught a 5-yard pass from D’Jimon Jones.

Curan added his third touchdown run of the night in the fourth quarter from 19 yards out to finalize Federal Way’s scoring barrage. Bethel tallied a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.

The Eagles will travel to Sparks Stadium on Friday

The Sumner Meadows Golf Course has been in financial difficulty for years. The Sumner City Council approved the sale of the course earlier this summer to Principal Financial for $53 million.

The group is set to use the course for industrial

development. Sumner Meadows was

purchased in the early 1990s with the intention that it would pay for itself within five years and then fund all parks in Sumner. Only once in the past 20 years did the course break even, and the city still owes approximately $6 million

in debt, according to The News Tribune.

The Beamer teams have been solid all season long playing on their new home course.

The Titan boys are being led by Dax Wallat and are 5-3 in the South Puget Sound League Central Division. Wallat has been

the medalist (low scorer) in five out of eight matches, including Wednesday dur-ing a loss to Jefferson.

The Beamer girls are be-ing led by seniors Hannah Prince and Kyra Adams this year.

TJ grad wins Golf Channel tournament

Oakley Murphy finished off a clutch performance last week to win the top flight of the Golf Channel Amateur Tour National Championships at PGA West in Palm Springs, Calif.

The Thomas Jefferson High School graduate defeated Colorado’s Paul Erdman in a playoff to win the title.

Murphy overcame an opening round of 82 to record rounds of 71, 68 and 73 at PGA West. He sunk a 5-foot par putt on the final hole to force a playoff with Erdman. The two finished seven shots clear of the rest of the field.

Murphy prevailed on the first playoff hole, the par-4 10th hole, to win his first national championship crown.

Murphy, 21, was an all-league baseball player dur-ing his time at Jefferson, but

never made it to the state tournament as a golfer. He currently works at River-bend Golf Course in Kent.

Murphy credits his grandfather for introducing him to the game when he was in high school.

He said the champion-ship victory was his top golf achievement.

“I like the pressure,” Mur-phy told GolfChannel.com. “I like playing the game. Next year I’m going to play some bigger tournaments, try to qualify for stuff.”

Murphy and the rest of the field had to deal with a high-wind advisory during the final round at PGA West. Before the wind picked up, Murphy man-aged an eagle on the par-5 2nd hole. But the back nine was a far different story, playing well over par.

“It’s hard to go low when it’s windy, Murphy said. “So I just tried to hang in there and make par.”

Northshore GC won’t be developed

It looks like the long road of saving the Northshore Golf Course is finally, officially over. The state Supreme Court decided this week not to review a ruling by a lower court, therefore ending the multi-year battle fighting an 860-home development of the golf course.

In May, the Washington Court of Appeals issued a

ruling because the devel-oper of the proposed Point at Northshore filed land-use paperwork two days late that meant the entire case should be dismissed.

The developer asked the state Supreme Court to review that decision, but the court denied the request Tuesday.

Everything began back in 1981, when the Northshore Golf Course was rezoned as part of a 341-acre planned residential district, when the North Shore Country Club Estates development was approved for construc-tion, then built around the fairways of the then-private course.

Fast forward to 2006, when the golf course’s own-ers, Northshore Investors LLC, agreed to sell the property to developers, who then claimed that the 1981 rezone should be thrown out because the owners couldn’t continue to operate the golf course.

But, in 2010, Pierce County Hearing Examiner Wick Dufford ruled against several aspects of the devel-opment.

He denied the prelimi-nary plat and site plan and recommended the denial of an application for a rezone modification, which was needed to construct over the golf course.

The developers sued, and the case made its way through the courts until Tuesday, when the Supreme Court decided not to review it.

need swim lessons, each team member is treated equally by one another.”

The Todd Beamer Titans should be improved from a season ago under head coach Malcolm Neely.

The Titans return several swimmers from a season ago, including senior Ryann Probstfield (breaststroke), juniors Natalie Modlin (backstroke) and Celena McPeak (butterfly) and sophomore diver Tasha Smith.

Beamer did get some bad news when senior Estelle Kim decided not to turn out. Kim swam at the state meet during her Titan career and was the only Beamer

swimmer to qualify for the West Central District Meet last year.

Neely will also be counting on newcom-ers Morgan Vance (breaststroke and but-terfly) and sophomore diver Nadia Testroat to score points, along with senior Sem Vandenbusch, who is an exchange student from the Netherlands.

“Everyone must challenge themselves daily in practice by working hard and concentrating on proper technique,” Neely said. “Teammates need to support each other all season.”

No information was provided to the Mirror regarding the Decatur and Jefferson girls swim and dive teams.

to take on the Puyallup Vikings. Beamer 15, Jefferson 14

The Titans (2-2) outlasted the Raiders (2-2) in a non-league battle Friday night at Federal Way Memorial Stadium. After pulling out to a commanding 15-0 lead at halftime, Jefferson scored a pair of touchdowns in the final two quar-ters to tighten the game up.

In fact, the Raiders had a chance to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Zach Grayson scored TJ’s second touchdown of the night on a 73-yard run to cut the Beamer lead to 15-14.

But the Raiders failed on an attempt at a 2-point conversion, which would have given TJ the lead.

Beamer’s first-half touchdowns came on a 3-yard pass from quar-terback Taylor Davis to Christian Stafford and a 51-yard fumble re-turn by Adrian Shocks. The Titans also added a safety in the second quarter to make it 15-0.

Jefferson’s other score came on a 1-yard run by Tyrell Williams in the third quarter.

Kenny Mayne, a 1977 Thomas Jefferson graduate and current ESPN personality, will present the Class of 2013 into the Federal Way Public Schools Athletic Hall of Fame at a free cer-emony at 6 p.m. at Todd Beamer High School on Oct. 10.

The 2013 inductees into the Hall of Fame consist of five former coaches and one notable alumnus. This year’s inductees include coaches Lee Anderson, Rick Dennison, Bob France, Jean Licari and Pete Refling, who all left a lasting mark on the district’s middle and high school athletic programs.

Quinn Gillis is this year’s Professional Achievement award winner. This award is given to a district graduate who is continuing to model athletic

excellence and leadership through a career in education and coaching.

The Federal Way Athletic Hall of Fame honors district employees who have made a

significant impact on the district’s athletic programs. The honor-ees represent the finest in athletic administra-tion, coaching and program development, according to Greg Flynn, the district’s athletic liaison.

Mayne, who played quarterback at TJ before attend-ing Wenatchee Valley Commu-nity College and the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, started working in the television busi-ness in 1982. Mayne started his tenure at ESPN in 1989.

Another ceremony will be held during the Beamer/Fed-eral Way football game on Oct. 11 at Federal Way Memorial Stadium.

Federal Way High School graduate D.J. May had a very impressive freshman season at the University of Wyoming.

The 5-foot-11, 196-pound running back played in 11 games last season for the Cowboys and led the team in rushing. May, as a true freshman, ran for 374 yards and averaged nearly five yards per carry.

Things were only going to get better for May and the Cowboys this season. But his sophomore year will have to wait until 2014. During the summer, May tore his left pectoral muscle while lifting weights, forcing him to sit out the entire season.

May is currently red-shirting for Wyoming, who are 3-1 on the season with wins over Idaho, Northern Colorado and Air Force. The Cowboys’ only loss came to Nebraska, 37-34, in Lincoln.

“It sucks. It’s always going to suck, but you can’t keep thinking like that. You still got to get better somehow,” May told the Casper (Wyo.) Star-Tribune. “So I have to work on my legs, get in the film room and help the new guys. That’s really my role now.”

As a senior at Federal Way in 2011, May rushed for 1,320 yards on 139 attempts, scored 18 rushing touchdowns, one receiving TD and returned two interceptions for touch-downs. He also caught 13 passes for 140 yards.

Other district fOOtball players in cOllege:Jonny Volland — The Jefferson grad

is playing his senior season at Pacific Lutheran. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound defensive back has one interception this season and has four tackles for the Lutes.

Pacific Lutheran is 2-0 on the season.

Last year, he finished with 24 tackles while starting six of the team’s nine games. Volland also had four interceptions.

Andre Barrington — The Federal Way grad is currently playing at Virginia University-Lynchburg. Barrington, who started his football career at Washington

State, is a sophomore linebacker. Virginia University-Lynchburg is currently 0-3 on the season. Barrington had five tackles during a loss to Winston-Salem State University two weeks ago, including two for losses.

Albert Havili — The Federal Way graduate is getting playing time at linebacker as a true freshman at Eastern Washington. The 6-2, 240-pounder has played in all three of Eastern’s games this season and had 13 total tackles for

The Federal Way Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum for city council and mayoral candidates Oct. 2 at its monthly luncheon at Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club.

Participating candidates:• Skip Priest (incumbent)

and Jim Ferrell, who are running for mayor. Priest is the city’s first elected mayor, which is a position Ferrell (the city’s deputy mayor) created through a ballot initiative in 2009. Priest is a former state representative. Ferrell is a King County prosecutor.

• Kelly Maloney (incumbent) and Mark Koppang, who are com-peting for city council position 2. Maloney was appointed to the council in January to fill a vacant seat. Koppang has run for council in the past. Maloney has a back-ground in marketing, commu-nications and volunteering, and previously helped with a branding

effort to lure more businesses to the city. Koppang has a back-ground in sales, management and volunteering, including the Civil

Service Commission, Indepen-dent Salary Review Com-

mission, and the Parks and Recreation Commission.

• Jeanne Burbidge (in-cumbent) and John Fair-

banks, who are competing for city council position 4.

Burbidge has served on the coun-cil for 16 years, and Fairbanks is a political newcomer. Burbidge has served on multiple regional committees, including transporta-tion boards and the Puget Sound Regional Council. Fairbanks owns a small business and served in the U.S. Air Force, and is chair of the Civil Service Commission.

• Diane Noble-Gulliford (incumbent) and Martin Moore, who are competing for city coun-cil position 6. Noble-Gulliford was appointed to the council in January to fill a vacant position, and Moore has worked on local candidates’ campaigns in the past.

Noble-Gulliford has been in-volved in civic matters long before cityhood, has a background in real estate, and is former president of the Historical Society of Fed-eral Way. Moore is currently the legislative assistant to State Rep. Roger Freeman, and has served on the Parks and Recreation Commission.

Mayoral candidatesPriest made a case for the city

being on the right path, while Fer-rell argued that the city could do better. Both candidates displayed a passion for serving their city. Both championed the city’s loca-tion in the region as an asset in doing business.

A question asked was what each candidate would do to improve Federal Way’s overall economic climate. Ferrell said he would hire a full-time economic development director, clean up downtown, fo-cus on a downtown park/develop-ment, actively recruit businesses, and reach out to existing busi-nesses with an ombudsman.

Priest said he would keep the city in a position so that it wouldn’t have to implement a business and occupation (B&O) tax, and cited his experience as a business owner 30 years ago as an asset to understanding what it takes to retain businesses today.

One point of contention came when the candidates were asked about ensuring the arrival of Sound Transit’s light rail in Fed-eral Way. Although approved by voters, the light rail project was delayed indefinitely in Federal Way because of a tax revenue shortfall in South King County.

Priest said his vocal outrage “sent a message” that resulted in a $24 million “shovel ready” plan implemented by King County Councilman Pete von Reich-bauer and State Sen. Tracey Eide. However, Ferrell correctly pointed out that Federal Way was out of the loop on that deal, and noted how Priest “frayed relationships” in attempting to dismantle Sound Transit at the state level.

Another question asked whether the candidates would hire a city administrator if elected.

Priest said he didn’t need a city administrator. He cited his experience managing a small business, and said he was capable of managing a city budget (nearly $40 million). Fer-rell said he was open to the idea of a city administra-tor, and said the position of mayor could be better used to recruit businesses, capital and investment.

Another difference was shown in a question on whether the candidates would support a public vote for the Performing Arts and Conference Cen-ter (PACC), a proposed $32 million project in downtown Federal Way.

Ferrell said he strongly supports a public PACC vote. Hundreds of people have told him they want a vote, he said, adding that with a public investment this massive, “Why not?”

Priest noted that the city is already on the hook for $5 million, and is working on a plan to pay for the op-erating cost. The project is still in the planning stages. “We’re not ready to go to voters because we’re not ready ourselves,” he said.

Council candidates: Yes or noIn a “lightning round” of sorts, city coun-

cil candidates answered questions by hold-ing up a sign that said yes or no. Notable highlights:

• When asked whether Federal Way needed additional apartment complexes, all candidates answered no.

• When asked whether Federal Way should adopt a business and occupation (B&O) tax, all candidates answered no.

• When asked whether Federal Way should allow marijuana dispensaries, all candidates answered no, except for Moore.

Action items for FWAmong the questions, city council can-

didates were asked about their top “action item” for Federal Way.

• Maloney: The city should implement her “college initiative” to bring a research and/or higher education facility to the downtown core. Such a facility will attract more businesses and create jobs.

• Koppang: Jobs are his top priority. The city should proactively recruit Seattle and Tacoma businesses and bring them to Federal Way, which has a lower tax burden.

That strategy will create more opportunities for businesses.

• Burbidge: The city is missing “a down-town we can be proud of.” She said the city can bring more businesses and broaden

tax revenues through the proposed Performing Arts and Conference Center (PACC).

• Fairbanks: The city needs to work on its infra-structure, such as roads and sewers, to bring in more businesses. The downtown should be redeveloped and rezoned to allow wider us-age beyond “retail and fast food.”

• Noble-Gulliford: The city needs more living wage jobs right now. She wants to organize a strategy for economic development with input from organiza-tions such as the Federal Way Chamber to ascertain what it would take to bring more jobs to the city.

• Moore: The city lacks a long-term vision. The city should focus on the future, including support for STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) educa-tion. Developing downtown will create an environment that promotes job growth.

Attracting new businesses to FW

• Maloney: She cited her college initiative, and said the city must continue

to streamline its permit process, while acknowledging there is still more work to be done.

• Koppang: He believes there will always be a need for improvement, but the key is to compete for businesses in the regional marketplace by ensuring that the city is business-friendly and proactive.

• Burbidge: Public input is the key, along with communicating and getting together to overcome any obstacles to being a suc-cessful business.

• Fairbanks: The city needs to keep up with technology and recruit tech-related businesses. Every person represents a learning experience, which can contribute to meeting the needs of businesses and bringing more to the city.

• Noble-Gulliford: She wants to make sure everyone knows that Federal Way is open for business, and cited a local devel-oper’s satisfaction in working with the city at the Celebration Center, which is bringing in new retailers and restaurants.

• Moore: He wants to identify inefficien-cies in city government, improve the permit process, and regularly meet with business leaders and Chamber members to find solutions.

Garbage station issue resurfacesBy GrEG AllMAIN

[email protected]

The Federal Way City Council agreed to send a letter to the King County Council outlining concerns regarding the now pro-posed exclusion of a new garbage/recycling trans-

fer station in South King County.

Late last year, the Fed-eral Way council voiced its displeasure toward the possible placement of the transfer station on the borders of Federal Way on South 320th Street. At the time, the county took that option off the table.

Since that first scuffle over the transfer station,

one option now being pro-posed is to not build a new transfer station in South King County at all. This will have a ripple effect on costs to the cities and residents in South King County, accord-ing to Ken Miller, deputy director of public works in Federal Way.

“Without transfer sta-tion access, service costs will increase for our rate

payers,” Miller said at the council’s Oct. 1 meeting. Waste Management has estimated a $2 million to $3 million increase in costs for the whole of South King County, which includes Au-

burn, Federal Way, Pacific, Algona and unincorporated parts of King County.

“These costs would increase and be ongoing, and since they’re ongoing, they’d be subject to infla-

tion,” Miller added. Miller said the letter to

the King County Council points out that building a new transfer station, financed through bonds,

submitted a completed land use application…Patrick Doherty and I person-ally met with the CEO of DevCo to tell them we were extremely disappointed that the housing would be low- to middle-income and not mixed levels (of income), and (that we were) disap-pointed they informed the city so late in the process.”

DevCo is a private for-profit company whose president, Jack Hunden, has specialized in build-ing affordable multi-family rental housing for nearly two decades. DevCo has built 15 low-income hous-ing developments all over the state.

Just like previous proj-ects, DevCo is applying to the Washington State Housing Finance Commis-sion (WSHFC) to secure funding for the Federal Way apartments. DevCo projects that have utilized the commission’s housing credit program include The Seasons Apartment Homes at Lea Hill Village in Auburn, which opened in 2008, and Heatherwood Apartments in Mill Creek, which opened in 2004.

The Housing Finance Commission will hold pub-lic hearings for each project funded. The city intends to “submit a letter to the Housing Finance Commis-sion describing in more detail the city’s comprehen-sive plan policies,” and also would “describe the city’s

efforts for redevelopment of the downtown and describe the cumulative effect of the four recent proposals (the city has) received,” the mayor said.

City’s reportThe city prepared a

report to outline some of its concerns regarding DevCo’s proposed projects in Federal Way. Some of the points include:

• Because of DevCo’s efforts to seek funding from the WSHFC, units are required to be “made avail-able to households earning no more than 60 percent of the median household income in the county.” According to the city, this is about 90 percent of the median household income for renters in Federal Way, which would roughly trans-late to $900 a month for a one-bedroom apartment.

• Federal Way already has 14,121 renter-occupied housing units. According to the city, “Countywide plan-ning policies do not distin-guish rental or owner oc-cupied housing. The City of Federal Way should supply 16 percent of housing units for those citizens earning 51-80 percent of the area median income in King County ($36,000-$56,450).” The city already “exceeds the Countywide Planning Policy and provides 35 percent of housing units for those earning moderate in-comes for a total of 11,996 housing units.”

• Because of the already well established stock of housing for low- to mod-erate-income owners and renters, the city feels it is “far in excess of its required level of affordable housing within this bracket … such

a large additional influx of housing within this bracket would be detrimental to the long-term needs of the city.”

FYI: Affordable Housing Council

Mayor Skip Priest, who is running for re-election, has been endorsed by the Af-fordable Housing Council.

The council is a political action committee by the Master Builders Association of Seattle and Snohomish Counties. The council has also donated $900 toward Priest’s campaign, accord-ing to the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC).

The council consists of 21 members who are builders in King and Snohomish counties. The aforemen-tioned DevCo Inc. is not a member. The Affordable Housing Council interviews candidates for endorse-ments. Priest was also endorsed by the council during his days as a Repub-lican state representative.

As the name suggests, the Affordable Housing Coun-cil assists housing-friendly candidates. The term “hous-ing” refers to single-family and multi-family develop-ments, according to council president Jim Potter.

Potter noted that “afford-able housing” has devel-oped an elastic definition in recent years because the term is sometimes seen as a negative euphemism for low-income housing. The council defines the term in its literal sense as “all hous-ing that is affordable.”

Priest told The Mirror that DevCo’s proposed project doesn’t meet the city’s vision for housing in the downtown area, but that there is nothing the city can do to stop construction.

receipt and check, but did not have a copy of the invoice.

Priest, who is running for re-election, said he had previously asked city staff about the process for retrieving confis-cated campaign signs. As for the receipt being issued the day after taking the signs, Priest said the city may have been waiting for his check to clear.

Wilson said a city employee gave a statement that Priest paid for the signs prior to retrieving. However, that em-ployee’s statement was withheld from release due to the investigation, according to a police spokeswoman.

“I paid for (the signs) before I took them,” Priest told The Mirror, and said that he even waved at a police officer while retrieving his signs. “I honestly have no understanding of what this is about.”

Priest said he didn’t know who “leaked” the investigation to the media.

“This is the silly political season,” he said, noting that the police are rightfully looking into this incident.

Except for portable signs, all private signs are prohibited in Federal Way rights-of-way, according to city code. A right-of-way is defined as the area of public property that contains roadways, planting strips, sidewalks, landscaping, streetlights and utility infrastructure.

It is the sign installer’s responsibility to place signs in compliance with the city code. The non-compliant signs are confiscated by city staff. According to the city’s rules, confiscated signs are held at City Hall for a period of 14 days, then will be disposed. To retrieve a confiscated sign, a person must make an appointment with city staff. There is a fee of $5 per sign, which is paid at City Hall.

Surveillance footage shows Priest back-ing up to the sign jail’s gate in his Volvo sedan. He opens the gate, enters the sign jail and looks around. He returns to his car to retrieve a towel, then walks back into the sign jail, where he wipes off one

sign at a time and loads them into his car. According to the footage, this activity lasted from about 9:41 p.m. to 10:06 p.m.

FYI: Another investigationPriest was subject to another investiga-

tion in May. A formal complaint was filed May 9 by Councilmember Kelly Maloney after a conversation she had with Priest.

The complaint describes a nearly 30-minute meeting in which the mayor was angry, pounding his fist on the desk and “lacing the ‘F’ word throughout his statements as he was yelling.” The complaint alleged the mayor was trying to intimidate Maloney and claimed the mayor also cried.

To investigate the complaint, the city hired attorney Eileen M. Baratuci of Arbitration, Investigation and Mediation (AIM) Services based in Port Townsend.

The 10-page report summarizes the attorney’s interviews with Priest, Maloney and people who may have witnessed the initial confrontation or the mayor’s “direct mode,” a term that Priest uses to describe a harsh style of communication.

The investigator concluded that the mayor “may have irritated or upset some of his colleagues, but he’s done nothing that would warrant pursuing this investi-gation any further.” The investigator also reported a concern that the complaint “was being used for political objectives.”

would in some respects cost less. The costs of the bonds would be lower because they’re not subject to inflation, and the increased costs would also end at the time the bonds are paid off. Along with the cost increase, the city is concerned that in the absence of a South King County

transfer station, people will find other ways to get rid of their garbage.

“Lack of transfer station access could also increase or spur illegal dumping along our rights-of-way, and would also be inconvenient for self-haulers,” Miller noted.

Contingent upon all of this is the various cities entering an interlocal agreement with Waste Management

and the county. That gives the cities some leveraging power, Miller said.

“The letter reminds the county that regional equity must be built into the implementation of the plan…The letter underscores the city’s position by stating our willingness to consider rescinding the amended and restated solid waste interlocal agreement,” Miller said.
