BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

A new bridge under construction on Coal Creek Parkway is slated for completion in mid-October, opening up a major arterial above and clearing the way for migrating salmon below.

� e bridge replaces an aging culvert under Coal Creek Parkway, between Forest Drive Southeast and Southeast 60th Street, that had become an obstacle to salmon migration. Con-struction began last May to replace the culvert, and the bridge o� ers the added

bene� t of a pedestrian un-derpass connecting the Coal Creek Trail on both sides of the road.

“It’s taken two seasons to construct. Mostly because of the complicated infra-structure in the road, and especially because of the Olympic pipelines,” said Bruce Jensen, design phase project manager. � at required constructing the bridge in west and east seg-ments and relocating pipe-lines and � ber optic cables. “All that infrastructure was moved to the � rst half of the bridge that was constructed during the winter.”

During this time, Coal Creek has been routed through a large pipe while crews construct a new stream bed running under the bridge. Once complete, Jensen said the bypass pipe will be removed.

� e pedestrian under-pass will connect the east and west portions of the Coal Creek Trail, no longer requiring hikers and bikers to cross over at Forest Drive and be rerouted back to the west side of the trail.

“It just wasn’t safe,” said Dan DeWald, who man-ages the parks department’s natural resources division.

“We looked at options of a crosswalk. Nothing was really practical.”

� e underpass will be el-evated and railed, with Coal Creek running adjacent.

DeWald said it will also serve as a connection for wildlife.

He said the trail system has been improved over the past six years, adding nine bridges and two stairways. Connecting the trail had been considered several years ago, but was put on hold when problems were found with the culvert. � e parks portion of the project is being paid for with 2008 parks levy funds, and in-cludes a new parking lot.

“Once we get the under-pass complete, we will re-visit the parking lot design,” DeWald said.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans do not only work longer and take less time o� than Europeans, and as of late, even the Japanese, they also seem unable to reap the bene� ts of their holidays as much in terms of recreation and rejuvenation. Studies show that the e� ects of taking breaks from work can vary dramatically based on how workers choose to unwind.

“Relaxation and vacation aren’t merely the opposite of work. � ey are engaging, vital parts of your life that deserve happy thought and careful attention,” says Jan Bruce, CEO and founder of meQuilibrium who writes about issues of stress in the workplace. “If you think of vacation as a big blank, that’s what you’ll get.”

It is of great importance to incorporate relaxation into daily life, not only during holidays but as an integral part of one’s lifestyle, she says. A� er all, how your vacation unfolds is heavily in� uenced by your mindset. If adventure or playing sports recharges your batteries best, go for it – if lounging by the pool does the trick, by all means lounge on. � e point is to get in the right spirit or mental shape that makes a vacation satisfying and successful, she advises.Excerpted copy is from a blog on Kirkland Reporter at www.kirklandreporter.com/opinion/267412861.html

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Outerwall CEO Scott di Valerio committed his company to diverting at least two million pounds of electronic waste from land� lls through expan-sion of its ecoATM kiosks Tuesday at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in New York.

A relatively new player in the Bel-levue company’s line of kiosk-based services, ecoATMs are available in 1,100 locations in 44 states across the United States, but Valerio said Out-erwall plans 6,000-10,000 machines to roll out in the U.S. over the next sev-eral years — the international market will be next.

“It was an unbelievable assembly,” Valerio said of the CGI meeting. “You’ve got a combination of business leaders, world leaders and people who are really just changing the the world.”

With its new commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative, Outerwall will also be held accountable for reach-ing its goal, and the coalition will track the company’s progress over the next three years.

“We would hope that we can exceed our commitment,” Valerio said.

Up to 25 percent of old-generation smartphones and tablets are recycled annually, which Valerio said is mark-

edly low considering the high number of electronics purchased every year. He predicts there will soon be a spike in ecoATM use as more people buy up Apple’s new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models. Apple reported more than 10 million of the new iPhones had been purchased since its Sept. 19 launch.

ecoATMs have not yet turned a pro� t, and Valerio said Outerwall anticipates breaking even by the � rst half of 2015. While Outerwall’s com-mitment to reducing e-waste is also a commitment to pro� ting on its own business venture, Valerio said � nding revenue through sustainability prac-tices is a model many businesses are wanting to capitalize on.

Outerwall keeps loose change in circulation with its Coinstar machines and recycles or redistributes old DVDs from its Redbox kiosks.

“It’s nice to be able to step up and re-ally be able to make an impact on the environment,” Valerio said.

� e company has also committed 1 percent of its previous year’s a� er-tax pro� ts to charity since 2012, issuing $250,000 in general operating grants in the Seattle and Chicago this spring.

International law firm gets WTC Tacoma honorsBY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

Bellevue-based � rm Desh International Law was honored last week with the World Trade Center Tacoma’s Globe Award for Service Provider of the Year, and former diplomat and managing partner Pradnya Desh says her workload continues to grow.

� e World Trade Centers Association is the largest business network in the world, and its Tacoma branch is the only one o� ering full WTC service in the Paci� c Northwest.

Desh, a former diplomat with the U.S. Trade Repre-sentative’s O� ce, said she wanted to use her expertise in international business law “to change the world,” her law � rm focusing on “purpose-driven” companies as clientele. One client is improving the process of converting land� ll waste into energy, she said.

DIL’s attorneys have either lived or practiced law in other countries, and all speak at least one other language – several speak three.

� e � rm has on-the-ground capabilities in China, India and Brazil, and Desh said a lot of what her team does is ensure companies are aware of tari� s, regulations and business practices in other countries.

“What we hear the most from people in China is, ‘Just send us projects. Send us projects and we know what to do with them,’ ” she said. “� ey know they want to diversify in

PSE not willing partner in search for energy solution

I was encouraged and pleasantly surprised to see Frank Shiers’ car-toon satirizing PSE’s perception of inevitability regarding their Energize Eastside project (“You can’t stop this” in the Sept. 17 issue). For me, the cartoon touched on three interesting questions:

1. Who is overseeing PSE? During the past few months, we’ve learned that neither the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission nor the Attorney General has the power to stop this project, or even compel PSE to provide honest answers to basic questions.

2. Is PSE listening to us? Com-munication appears to � ow in only one direction. Although PSE has conducted an impressive campaign to engage the public during the past year, PSE isn’t hearing what residents are saying. � e company is quick to dismiss every reasonable alternative we propose.

3. Is PSE a competent company? � e “oops” moment in the cartoon reminds us of various errors and

gaps exhibited by PSE during this process. Recently, a PSE representa-tive admitted that shortcomings in PSE’s data reporting and manage-ment systems make it di� cult for them to de� ne the geographic area they are calling the Eastside, or how many of their customers live there. In a high-tech and data-rich area, it is discouraging to hear that our energy provider is so far behind the times.

As we search for a 21st-century so-lution to our energy needs, it’s clear that PSE is not going to be a willing partner. We should � nd and invest in companies and technologies that will address our needs while protecting our neighborhoods and our environ-ment. Fortunately, the Bellevue City Council is hiring an independent expert who will help us determine how to do that, since PSE refuses to consider any solution other than 13-story poles blighting one of the most livable cities in the nation.

Don Marsh, Bellevue

PSE project a con� ict of old, new solutions

I think Puget Sound Energy’s En-ergize Eastside Project is an example of the con� ict between old and new

solutions to our energy future. We truly are in an energy revolution.

As a Bellevue citizen, I hope my city leaders will have the courage and foresight to challenge the old solutions o� ered by PSE and join other cities in the US and the world that are in the forefront of generating electricity and creating infrastruc-ture that work in harmony with our environment.

Marijuana millions getting close lookThe � nancial stakes of the state’s new marijuana

industry are no longer theoretical. � ose millions are already trickling in, and next month the state will

make the � rst payouts from a portion of excise taxes and fees collected from growers, processors and retailers.

� at portion — $4 million as of Monday and $450 million in the economist’s forecast — are sequestered in a

special account. � e initiative speci� es how money in that account is to be doled out. Ten percent is for a public education campaign, and 15 percent is for substance abuse prevention programs, for example.

But there’s a problem: � e initiative directs half the money to the Basic Health Plan, a state health insurance program that no longer exists. It went away with the arrival of the federal health care law.

If it turns out that the money is up for grabs, lawmakers will be able to amend

the state law to make clear who should get it. Cities and counties have a lot of suggestions..

Lawmakers went down to the wire of the 2014 session debating a revenue-sharing plan and came up empty.

Some legislators simply didn’t want to see money going to cities or counties which have enacted bans on the industry. Communities, they argued, needed “skin in the game” — meaning they allow growing, processing and retailing — to be entitled to a cut of the proceeds.

Counties and cities will try again in 2015, with possibly di� erent pitches.

At times, the conversation might feel like a repeat of the 2014 session, but it won’t be the same. � at’s changed. � ere’s money in the bank. � ere’s a clearer idea of the stakes, and they are real. Very real.

Keep government out of name change issue

Do we want Congress to tell businesses/organizations what name they can and can’t have for themselves?

Sen. Marie Cantwell wants to take the tax-exempt status away from the NFL because it will not force the Wash-ington Redskins football team to change its name.

� ree points concern me. One, the government

has no business of dictat-ing the name of a business/organization. If someone is o� ended, they can sue the Washington team, not try to force the NFL to exert pressure. Many Native Americans are not even of-fended by the name.

Two, if Congress can use the threat of tax-exempt status to change your name or beliefs, then will religious organizations, other non-pro� ts, and other businesses be next. � is smacks of total government control.

� ree, instead of worry-ing about a business name being politically correct, maybe Cantwell could do some good to take on the NFL to take a stronger stand against domestic violence – if that is of any concern to her. � at might be better use of everyone’s time and yield some positive changes that need to be addressed now.

� e county assessor will hold a town hall meeting 6:30-8 p.m. Oct. 8 at Bel-levue City Hall to discuss with residents the formula for determining these latest property valuations, senior and disabled exemptions, online services and the ap-peals process.

While many Bellevue neighborhoods saw sub-stantial increases to their property values — Bel-Red up 11.3 percent and Lake Hills/Crossroads up 24.2 percent — Hara said a 1-percent cap on what the county can collect in tax revenue prevents levy rates from spiking, even when property values are deter-mined to be substantially higher than the same time last year. � ere are 590 dif-ferent levy rates and codes

in King County.“� ere’s no close correla-

tion between what their values have increased to and the amount of taxes they will pay,” he said, not-ing some of the shock stems from spending so much time recovering from the recession. “We’ve had so many years of down values, values decreasing, and now we’re starting to see the recovery. We’re back to bid-ding wars again. You didn’t see that a few years ago.”

Barring special levies from school and utilities districts, Hara said the increased property values, when raising tax revenue 1 percent, should mean a

decrease in levy rates across the county. Levy rates won’t be � nalized until mid-late December for the 2015 property tax.

New construction, which is nearly synonymous with Bellevue at the moment and is not limited by the 1-per-cent cap, also can lower the levy rate, Hara said. New construction means jobs, he said, and higher employ-

ment rates also factor into increased property values.

Once every six years a King County appraiser will do a full assessment of a property, but for those other � ve years homeown-ers are seeing valuations from mass appraisals that do account for property sales in their neighborhood. Hara said his o� ce uses an algorithm to minimize the impact of bidding wars that cause home prices to soar.

“It’s kind of a blended average, the way it works,” Hara said.

Bellevue residents received their valuations by mail in August, and have 60 days from the postmarked date to appeal. Members of the King County Board of Equalization will also be at the Oct. 8 meeting to explain that process.

Desh said she wants to do more in India, a market that has the potential for exponen-tial growth with its new leader, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is trying to ease the country’s bureaucracy to improve international business relations.

“Right before our eyes, we see the business climate in that country changing,” she said.

Desh International is mov-ing into a new o� ce space at the Gateway One building in Bellevue on Nov. 1, with plans to expand again in the next several years.

Bellevue is also a growing international market, with big tech companies drawing in developers and engineers from India and China, Desh said. International investors are also coming to Bellevue, and Desh said domestic companies want their support.

LAW FIRMCONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

BY BRANDON MACZBELLEVUE REPORTER

King County Superior Court Judge Carol Schapira was honored Sept. 15 for the six years she’s presided

over the Bellevue Youth Court — a term that will end when she lays down her gavel a� er 25 years of service next spring.

Bellevue Youth Court pairs high schoolers with courthouse professionals, who train them to pass on sentences to juveniles for misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor o� enses. � ose facing sentencing have admitted guilt, and are allowed to be sentenced by their peers, rather than go through typical juvenile court diversion.

“Whether you’re the advocate for the state or an advocate for the youth, you learn a lot about real life,” Schapira said.

� e groundwork for the Bellevue Youth Link program — under partner-ship with the city and King County — took about a year to lay before Scha-pira started in 2008. At the time, she was a juvenile court judge living on Mer-cer Island.

“Of course I was very interested, and I knew a woman who was a national and world leader in launch-ing this,” she said.

Youth Link honored Schapira at the Sept. 15 Bellevue City Council meeting, thanking her for her service.

“We’ll miss her greatly,” said Helena Stephens, family, youth/teen man-ager for Youth Link. “She’s also guided us, made sure that we’ve stayed within the legal parameters of the law. She also did a lot of planning for us and really opened a lot of doors.”

Youth Court judge earns early honorsCarol Schapira to retire next spring Schapira’s presence

during Youth Court proceedings was never necessary — the presid-ing judges being Bellevue teens, the same as the baili� s, jurors and attor-neys — but she has gone beyond what has been required, Stephens said.

“You just see them blossom as they move forward,” Schapira said. “It’s just an excellent program. … I do like being there because I want them to know what they’re doing is a real thing. � ey are really a� ecting that person’s life.”

A replacement hasn’t yet been found for Scha-pira on the Youth Court, said Stephens, but the judge will lend a hand in the selection. Schapira said she plans to remain active a� er retirement, which could see her back in a courtroom in some capacity in the future.

“I really do like my work, so I’m sure I’ll just need to recoup and lick my paw when I make the change,” she said.

BY DANIEL NASHISSAQUAH/SAMMAMISH REPORTER

It's an odd thing to praise a musical production for its sense of economics. But when the musical in question is "In � e Heights" — a hip-hop musical that, like good hip-hop, is supremely concerned with how the interaction of many moving parts form a greater whole

— this is a relevant compliment

to the work of Village � eatre.

� e musi-cal, written by

Quiara Alegria Hudes with music and

lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, arrived prepackaged with a strong pedigree: it swept up four awards, including Best Musical, at the 2008 Tonys and snatched the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

"Heights" eschewed a large-looming central con� ict for a singular character in favor of many small, interconnected ones a� ect-

ing an entire community. In brief, the plot concerns the dreams and � nancial obstacles of the residents on a single corner of the heavily Dominican-American Washington Heights neighborhood in Manhat-tan.

Nina Rosario (played in the Village production by Tanesha Ross) is a big � sh in a little pond who � nds herself at a crossroads a� er dropping out of Stanford. Benny (Kyle Robert Carter) is a hard worker at the Rosario family's limo business who wants to stand out and eventually strike out on his own — but he's kept at arm's length as a "non-Latino" by Nina's father Kevin (Jose Gonzales). Comely hairdresser Vanessa (Naomi Mor-gan) wants to escape her alcoholic mother, but can't swing the good credit check to get an apartment outside Washington Heights. She is admired from a distance by Usnavi (Perry Young), the beleaguered-but-generous owner of the corner bodega, who dreams of returning to the Dominican Republic.

Any one element might have

been � eshed out into its own story, for better or for worse (One subplot, concerning a mysterious winning lottery ticket, could have easily become the deus ex machina that toppled this story into a Dick-ensianly saccharine ending).

Instead, Hudes judiciously

pruned each branch to allow a whole tree to � ourish. Nina can return to college — at a cost to others. Vanessa can be helped into her dream apartment — if she can also help herself. � e � nancial windfall from the lottery ticket is enough to bring upward mobility

to its bene� ciary — but not enough to bring permanent security. � is is a story that has a sense of its own economy. � ere are no heroes or villains — just sympathetic charac-ters whose decisions can't help but a� ect their neighbors.

In that spirit, and in the hands of Director Eric Ankrim (last seen starring in Village Original "� e Tutor"), what we have on our hands is one of the most living, breath-ing Village productions in recent memory.

It may seem a tri� ing detail, but enough can't be said about the masterful use of the eight-person ensemble cast in recreating the

constant vibrance and motion of everyday urban life. Too o� en, ensemble players are the suburban Baby Boom children of the theater world: Readily trotted out in front of guests to salvage a dull dinner party, then pushed out to the backyard when the grownups � nd a new thread of conversa-tion. � e principal players are impressively put to work themselves. Young and Carter espe-cially stand out in their portrayal of sympa-thetic regular Joes with lo� y ambitions. � ey are also, along with Justin Huertas, the actors most called upon to perform the produc-tion's hip-hop numbers. � e rat-a-tat back

and forth between the three is equal parts funny, energetic and astounding.

� e best moments of the show are when the principals and ensemble are brought together. True to the reality of life in a city, the principal actors of "Heights" rarely have a moment of intimacy or self revelation in which they aren't surrounded by their so� -spoken neighbors.

And when the ensemble is deployed around a lead vocalist to do what they do best,… this show contains truly complex choreography that results in literally time-bending sequences. In two numbers in par-ticular, the dance slows to a crawl as Young hits lightspeed with his rhymes.

It is, perhaps, one of the most entertaining portrayals of Einstein's theory of relativity to be used in musical theater.

Bellevue boys water polo program o� to sizzling start BY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

Excellence in the pool is an expectation for the Bellevue Wolverines boys water polo squad.

� e Wolverines, who have won three consecutive state championships, bolted out of the gates with a 2-0 overall record in early season action. Wolverines head coach Ed Brovick said his team has consistently been state contenders in the South Sound water polo state tournament for the past decade.

"We have won the last three state cham-pionships, but before that we've always � nished in one of the top four spots. � e lowest we've � nished was in � � h place," Brovick said.

Having that kind of success is a blessing for the program but it also creates a sense of urgency that keeps everyone on their toes. Wolverines' co-captain/hole defender Liam Naughton knows his team has a giant target on his back.

"Everyone is gunning for us. � e pres-sure is on just as much as it was last year and just as much as it was the year before

that," Naughton said. "We have a really good group of returning guys on this team."

� e Wolverines didn't rest on their laurels during the o� -season. � ey spent their summer � ne tuning their skills in a myriad of ways. � ey traveled to California

where they competed against some of the best teams in the nation. Naughton said his squad ramped up its informal workouts in August in preparation for the � rst day of practice on Aug. 25.

"About three weeks before the season

started we had captains practices, which were run by myself and Marco Stanchi (co-captain). � ere were no coaches there, it was just us. � is is where we got to know each other really well as a team and get in really good shape," he said.

Brovick said water polo is a niche sport, which requires a multitude of hours of dedication in order to achieve success.

"It's a high school sport so there is a wide range of athletes, but many of our elite athletes play all year-around. � ese guys typically work out four or � ve days a week in the water for at least two hours a day during the season," the head coach said. "We also li� weights on Wednesdays and Saturdays or do some other kind of gym workout out of the water."

� e Wolverines return four starters con-sisting of Stanchi, Naughton, Zack Ross-man and Cameron Hayes from the 2013 team. Wolverines' assistant coach Evan Kaseguma said he expects his experienced roster to make another run at a state title.

"Our only goal is to play our best water polo at the end of the season. We think if we do that, then whatever happens will happen," Kaseguma said. "We will be happy with reaching our maximum potential. � at is really our goal and if we can get that

Marco Stanchi heart and soulof Wolverines' water polo teamBY SHAUN SCOTTBELLEVUE REPORTER

� e summer of 2014 was unforgettable for Bellevue Wolverines water polo player Marco Stanchi.

Stanchi, who was on the United States youth national water polo team that com-peted in games in Turkey and Italy during the summer months, is the heart and soul of the Wolverines water polo program. � e

experience overseas had a huge impact on Stanchi.

"It was an amazing experience and de� nitely eye opening culturally. It was also great water-po-

lo-wise. I got to meet the best players in the country

and pick up (skills, habits) what I could from them," Stanchi said.

� e Wolverines return just four starters o� of last year's team but don't expect a drop-o� in performance. Bellevue has won three consecutive Class 3A state water polo titles from 2011 through 2013.

"I think this is going to be our tough-est year so far," Stanchi said of the task of winning a state crown. "We have a group of guys who will all step up to the challenge. We're pretty excited about it."

Stanchi said he doesn't stay in one customary position in the pool for the Wolverines. He enjoys being a jack of all trades kind of player.

"I move around quite a lot. Whatever we need as a team I'm willing to do," he said.

Stanchi is undecided on what his plans are for next year but knows his future is undoubtedly ingrained in water polo.

"I'm either going to take a gap year (year away from sport in the United States) and play in Italy or I will play in college (in United States)," he said.

Recently the Reporter had an opportunity to ask Stanchi a few ques-tions about his life away

from the pool. Bellevue Reporter: What is your

favorite movie of all time?Marco Stanchi: It is "Lone Survivor." It

was probably the most inspiring movie I've ever seen.

BR: What is your biggest pet peeve?MS: When people chew with their

mouth open. I get afraid the little food bits are going to go everywhere.

BR: What artist are you listening to the most in your iPod right now?

MS: It is probably "Oasis" It's an English 1990s rock band.

BR: Who is your pick to win the Super Bowl in February of 2015?

MS: I'm going with the Seattle Seahawks. � ey have Richard Sherman and Earl � omas and are the best team.

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

MS: Gianluigi Bu� on. He is an Italian soccer player. He has been my hero since I was four or � ve years old.

BR: How many text messages do you send per day?

MS: I don't text that much. I probably send between 20 to 30 text messages a day.

BR: What is something unique about you that nobody would know?

MS: I really like to clean. I'm kind of a neat freak.

A powerful presence in the pool

fourth (state) title that would be nice." Kaseguma, who was instrumental in

starting the Wolverines water polo program during his high school days in the late 1990s and early 2000s, said the program has came a long way in the past 16 years. He is a 2001 graduate of Bellevue High School.

"When the team � rst started in 1998 our only goal was to � eld a team and have enough guys to play in the game," he said. "Now we're going to California as a team twice a year and are playing against some of the best competition in the country. It is very excited to see that we're at the point now where we have a lot of athletes who are going on to play college water polo. It is fun to see the program reach that level."

Choose Your Way Bel-levue is again taking ap-plications for its Commute Challenge, which tasks people living and working in the city to ditch their cars for a week in favor of alter-native transportation.

Funded through the Bellevue Downtown As-sociation’s TransManage and in partnership with the city and King County, Commute Challenge participants — lone drivers — have the opportunity to have their alternative means of travel paid for during the weeklong challenge, and are expected to post comments

about their experiences. � ose using public

transportation will receive prepaid ORCA cards, while those opting to carpool receive gas money, said Jason Hampton, transporta-tion program coordinator for TransManage. � ose switching to biking receive gi� cards to Gregg’s Bel-levue Cycle. Applications are being accepted until Oct. 1.

“Last year’s was a longer period, so they gave them more than a week to do it and we paid for a longer commute. � is year we wanted more people to do it,” Hampton said. “One person’s story spreads through the o� ce or the community and other people give it a chance.”

Ten people have started the application process, and three people have complet-ed the challenge, he said.

“We feel very good about our vetting process, and so far our stories have been re-ally great,” Hampton said.

� ose who success-fully complete the weeklong challenge qualify for a Nov. 10 drawing, where people can win prizes like an iPad Mini, Kindle Fire and a $300 ORCA card.

Hampton said even if people don’t want to accept the weeklong challenge, they can share their alterna-tive commuting experi-ences on Choose Your Way Bellevue’s Facebook page to be considered for a weekly $25 REI gi� card giveaway.

Apply for the Commute Challenge at ChooseYourWayBellevue.org or share your experiences at Facebook.com/ChooseYourWayBellevue.

Carl Vander Hoek returned to the City Council on Monday with a proposal for a public-private partnership to construct underground parking at Downtown Park to meet future demand there and in adjacent Old Bellevue.

Vander Hoek had told councilmembers during their last meeting he would be solicit-ing support from downtown stakeholders, announcing Monday he now has the support of the Bellevue Downtown Association, with plans to bring the Rotary Club of Bellevue and Bellevue Chamber of Commerce into future discussions. Project manager for the family company, Vander Hoek Corpora-tion, he was joined Monday by fellow Old Bellevue Merchants Association members to appeal for a parking solution.

With the city’s plans to begin completing the circle at Downtown Park and construct-ing the Inspiration Playground next summer, Vander Hoek told the council this is the last opportunity to use the public property to increase parking capacity underground. A stack of binders � lled with research beside him, the developer questioned how the city has no plans to increase parking at the park

when it currently boasts 250 events there, drawing in 170,000 people annually.

Randi Brazen, who owns Brazen Sotheby’s International Realty with her husband, Joseph, said they had to relocate their realty o� ce from Main Street to the Crossroads due to a lack of parking. � eir Old Bellevue restaurant, 520 Bar and Grill, helped revital-ize the neighborhood, she said. But it too is losing business, Brazen said, with people call-ing to cancel reservations a� er being unable to � nd parking.

“� ey end up going to the (Bellevue Square) mall because there’s adequate park-ing there,” she said.

Dennis True, of Old and Elegant Distribut-ing, told the council that inadequate parking has existed in Old Bellevue as far back as the ‘60s, and the problem now continues to be the employees of those businesses along Main Street taking up available on-street spots. Solving employee parking will solve customer parking, he said.

Vander Hoek said he has also contacted a consulting � rm that works with the city of Seattle for its parking needs to deter-mine what options may be available to curb the parking problem. � e council has not discussed this proposal, so far, nor has it directed sta� to take it up for consideration.

Neiman Marcus Bellevue celebrated its � � h anniver-sary Sept. 18 with great style. Beautiful "Fall Must Haves" were on display at a runway show.

"From gray to green, global chic to knits, we pulled the best Neiman Mar-cus Bellevue has to o� er to feature on the runway for the Fall Fashion Showcase," said Jessica Branning, public rela-tions manager of the store.

� e featured key "looks" for this fall include:

1 – Global Chic: A multi-cultural melding of texture, print, and color. A ladylike dress accessorized with a tweed jacket worn over your shoulders, a fringe clutch, then complimented with multi bangle bracelets and bold necklaces.

2 – Gray: It has become the new neutral. Make a fashion statement with this fun novelty gray knit sweater embellished with gems, part-nered with a knit tweed skirt, a statement necklace, and this season’s hottest handbag – a clutch.

3 – Green: For both the guys and also the ladies, in a variety of green color hues. A statement jacket worn over a shirt and knit sweater, with loose � tting pants tucked

into the perfect boot. 4 – Cozy knits: � ese are

essential this season. Worn with loose � tting trousers, a pencil or mid-calf length skirt, or over a lovely green print dress complimented with booties and a stylish

handbag. What’s not to love for this

upcoming fall season?

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

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.
