I Love My Mom Because www.ihwebsite.com | facebook.com/highlands.council May 2013 Rain or Shine, I Love my Mom because... These Ladies Stride! by Gena Gullette, Issaquah Highlands Resident Stroller Strides has changed my life forever! I have lived in the Highlands for seven years and I am proud to say that I have been a member of the Issaquah/Sammamish Stroller Stride group for the last 4 years. The friendships and support I have received from this group of moms and kids is immeasurable. It is my motivation for getting out of the house each morning (rain or shine!) knowing I will be greeted by friendly faces and an incredible workout. We meet up with our kids in tow and explore the neighborhood, utilizing all the hills and parks that are unique to the Highlands. The workouts consist of cardio bursts, strength and endurance training and core work. The mothers in this group share a passion for healthy living for us, our family and our community. Throughout the workout there are opportunities for moms to talk about our lives and for our kids to socialize and play. My kids and I have Schools Spotlight 10 met some of our dearest friends through Stroller Wit and Tidbits 12 Strides. As moms we encourage each other to Ask Kari 13 workout hard and then at the end of each class Port Blakely News 14 we encourage our children to play hard!

The playfields are alive with giggles and shouts and the exemplary landscaping presents new blossoms almost every week. Fitness buffs, or buff fit people, are leaping and jogging up and down the many hills and stair-climbs. It is as refreshing as a new year! Many holidays and special events fill the calendar this time of year. What to feature in Connections was an easy choice, however: Mother’s Day is the obvious pick, because, you know, “EVERYONE has a Mom!” What could be truer! (Get ready for the other truism: everyone has a Dad! Coming in June.) When Issaquah Highlands was platted, the design provided for about 75% single family homes, making Issaquah Highlands the ideal place for families. This has proven to be true beyond anyone’s wildest dreams and is evident every day. And with families come a lot of Moms! I hope folks in families, and those currently on their own, all enjoy this issue’s tribute to Mothers. Besides our feature on Mother oriented organizations, meet Hip Travel Mama in the Resident Profile (yeah, she lives here!), chuckle with Tami in Wit and Tidbits about motherhood, even Kari has got into the act with advice questions challenging mothers and families everywhere. But that’s not all we bring you in this month’s Connections. Learn about National Bike Month, get ready to run for fitness, and find out all that’s fun at the schools. Learn about Highlands Council and its vital role in the community. Get permission to rip out those pesky alder seedlings that showed up on the edge of your yard when you weren’t looking. And don’t forget to review “What’s Happening” on page 29. There is so much happenin’ that I bet you won’t be able to catch your breath! Enjoy and Happy Mother’s Day! Yours Truly, Nina Milligan, IH Resident, Crofton Springs Editor of Connections - Highlands Council Communications Manager Highlands Council is the publisher of Connections, manager of community-wide events such as Highlands Day, owner and manager of Blakely Hall, liaison with the greater community. 4 • May 2013 Issaquah Highlands Connections Issaquah Highlands Connections May 2013 • 5 Finding your Village By Lindsey Pinkston, Issaquah Highlands resident of Wisteria Park Volunteer Outreach Ambassador PEPS – Program for Early Parent Support With two kids not yet of school age, no family nearby, and two working parents (my husband Our village continued to grow when we moved into an Issaquah Highlands neighborhood full full time and me part-time), the old African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child” of families ready to support each other.

Being a mother is a huge responsibility, but having a special needs child who requires extra time and attention makes this commitment even more challenging. A luncheon honoring these mothers will be held by Life Enrichment Options (LEO), an Issaquah-based nonprofit supporting those with developmental disabilities, on Sunday, May 19th at Blakely Hall. The event will take place from noon to 2 pm and is by reservation only. “We want to offer a comfortable and accepting environment for moms of special needs kids to be able to relax, connect with other moms, and enjoy a time just for them” said Becky Gordon, chair of LEO’s Issaquah Outreach Committee. Moms are welcome to come by themselves, but since finding someone to care for their children can often be challenging, kids of all ages are welcome to the event as well. Activities will be provided children attending. “When we asked for input from parents, family members and caregivers of those with special needs as to what their needs were, one of the things that came out clearly was how hard it was to get to know others who had kids with special needs”, said Rose Finnegan, one of the founding members of the organization. ”This event will offer moms the opportunity to connect with other moms sharing Founding LEO member Rose Finnegan with her son Tim similar experiences”. Life Enrichment Options was formed 24 years ago by five moms with special needs children who shared the same goal of wanting to make the same opportunities available for their kids that were available for typically developing kids. The organization now owns three homes where five people with disabilities and a caregiver live in each, with the newest home located in the Issaquah Highlands. LEO also partners with the Issaquah Parks and Recreation and Si View Metro Parks to offer recreational opportunities for those with special needs; offers educational presentations about topics pertaining to the challenges faced by those with special needs and the people involved in Did LEO their lives; and publishes an annual recognition of employers of those with special needs in you has a home several local newspapers.

  • Taking Back Our Boulevard Tukwila Police Department Tukwila, Washington
    Taking Back our Boulevard Tukwila Police Department Tukwila, Washington Summary The City of Tukwila is centrally located in the heart of the Puget Sound Region of Washington State - a large, bustling, and prosperous metropolitan region. Although relatively small in geographical size (about 10 square miles) Tukwila’s unique location puts it at a crossroads of activity. The city has a small residential population, but large employment and commercial entities bring an influx of people into the city every day. Crime is a major problem for Tukwila. While the presence of a large commercial district and a high daytime population do inflate the crime statistics somewhat, these factors alone do not account for the disproportionately high crime rate. An analysis of all police case reports showed an elevated number of incidents occurred along a 1.5 mile section of Tukwila International Boulevard (TIB), a major thoroughfare near SeaTac Airport, and in the Central Business District (CBD), the primary location in the city for commercial activity. Looking specifically at violent criminal offenses, the TIB corridor had the highest concentration of activity. Page 1 of 25 Situated along TIB are nine motels. Several of these motels were suspected of being safe havens for persons engaged in prostitution, drug dealing, and the violent crimes associated with those activities. An examination of police case reports taken along the TIB corridor from 2008-2012 showed particular motels accounting for three of the top five problem locations. Interestingly, all three of these motel properties were adjacent to each other in a one-block area of TIB. In June of 2012, a detective from the Tukwila Police Department’s Anti-Crime Team (TAC) was assigned to a temporary task force created by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF).
