Although the City of Pacific has shown plenty of progress over the past 18 months in its recovery from the disastrous reign of former mayor Cy Sun, the woman chosen to replace Sun still feels her job is not yet done.
Back in July of 2013, after city residents recalled Sun, Leanne Guier’s fellow coun-cilmembers appointed her as the new mayor, with the expectation that she would lead the City’s recovery efforts. Mere months earlier the City had faced the dire possibilities of being annexed into Auburn or dis-incorporating, owing to the loss of its municipal insurance coverage.

Blending housing, case man-agement and life-skills devel-opment, Valley City officials expect their latest construction project will help young adults, ages 18-25 become responsible, productive and independent, enabling them to move out of homelessness.
Plans for Phoenix Rising de-scribe 24 single-resident-occu-pancy units for homeless young adults whose income levels are below 30 percent of the area’s median income and who are in desperate need of housing.
Plans call for the construction of two, detached, 4,394-square-foot, single-story residential buildings with 12 units per building, allowing room for the future development of two ad-ditional single-story residential buildings, also with 12 units each.
In addition, the project is to provide job training at the Recovery Café and behavioral health services at the adjacent Valley Cities Auburn office, 2704 I St. NE.
Recovery Café is designed to be a 4,528-square-foot shared common space for young adults
living in the residential build-ings. A place where they can gather for meals and participate in food-service, barista and custodial-services job training.
Valley Cities has provided quality behavioral health coun-seling and chemical dependency services to Auburn residents since 1965. It offers individual counseling, group and peer sup-port, psychiatric and primary health care, access to vital social services and many additional support services, among them housing and employment as-sistance.

Event organizers look to draw younger crowd to City’s birthday bashBY ROBERT WHALE
Three years ago a band of fun-loving Auburn residents decided to mark the city’s birthday, whooping it up, listen-ing to music and having a great time with good friends in a downtown beer garden.
Modest though attendance at the annual celebration has been since then, drawing 300 to 500 people, for this go-around, festivity planners have thrown in some new things to draw more of Auburn’s party animals in to do the celebrating.
Auburn City Councilman John Hol-man, one of the members of the Auburn Downtown Association Committee that now is putting the bash together, said this year’s goal is to plump up atten-dance by enticing more young people.
So, along with music and that beer garden, this year’s shindig on Friday, June 5, marking 124 candles on the municipal cake, will offer a root-beer garden, with ice cream for root-beer floats.
“We’re trying to bring in more par-ticipation of school bands, to draw stu-dents and their parents in, to get people in the habit of coming downtown to celebrate special events,” Holman said. “This is not about getting people down-town to buy things, this is about getting people in the habit of coming to down-town on a regular basis to have fun.”

From the perspective of firefighters, March 5 may not actually have been unusually busy.
But two fires, one raising a tall col-umn of smoke from West Hill above Highway 18, another downtown, may have made it seem so to the public.
Just after 11:30 a.m. crews from the Valley Regional Fire Authority, South King Fire and Rescue and the Kent Fire Department Regional Fire Au-thority responded with seven engines, two aid cars, two brush trucks, two command vehicles and one tender truck to a brush fire off westbound Highway 18, west of State Route 167.
Firefighters working from two different places to put out the fire – it
was moving up the hill, threatening Mountain View Drive – needed two hours to bring it under control. In that time, crews moved to the top of the hill near Mountain View Drive to focus on hot spots. As of 3:50 p.m. crews were still on the scene, mopping up spot fires.
Brush trucks from King County Fire District No. 20 and King County Fire District 44 provided help. The fire, which forced the closure of Mountain View Drive near Mountain View Cemetery, was not investigated, according to the VRFA.
At 4:50 p.m., 11 firefighters re-sponded to 295 East Main St. down-town to a report of smoke in the eaves of American Lighting. According to Kimberly Terhune, public informa-tion officer for the VRFA, the fire was
minor, involving mostly burning in-sulation in the concealed space above the ceiling inside the store.
“It was mostly smoke damage. There was very little fire,” Terhune said. “The investigator said it was ac-cidental electrical faults. Firefighters did what is called ‘pulling the ceiling’ to access where most of the heat sig-natures were coming from. There was no water damage, it was mostly smoke from the paper backing on insulation.”
Owner Susan Smith watched events from across East Main.
“We just smelled smoke. I thought it was from outside,” she said.
Investigators estimated damage at about $10,000. There was no damage to Comstock’s Bindery & Bookshop next door.

FOR THE REPORTER
James Franklin received the 2014 Fire-fighter of the Year award and Capt. Richard Olson was recognized as the Fire Officer of the Year for 2014 during the Valley Regional Fire Authority’s awards presentation Feb. 20 at the Truitt Build-ing in Auburn.
According to his peers, Franklin is hard working, straightforward, respectful and is known for always doing the right thing. His vast knowledge and capa-bility make him a valuable resource for seasoned and new employees, his peers said.
His willingness to serve on a committee or provide instruction to improve a fellow firefighter’s skill-set have made an impact in two decades of work, his colleagues said.
Franklin began his career with King County Fire District 44 and joined the legacy Auburn Fire Department on April 29, 1996. During his career, he has served as a public information education
specialist, a respiratory specialist and a joint ap-prenticeship training committee member.
Olson has extensive knowledge of fire service and what today’s fire-fighter needs to get the job done. He has become an expert on the VRFA’s communications tools, especially the new com-puter-aided dispatch and radio technology. Olson is well known for sharing his knowledge as a mentor.
According to his peers, Olson is skilled at planning and executing important projects, which have improved the capa-bilities of firefighters and department services.

King County Councilmembers
King County’s new $1.50 low income transit fare, Orca Lift, went into effect on March 1. Orca lift gives residents a cheaper alterna-tive to get to school, work, health appointments and key services they need.
This valuable program will help many residents in our region who are struggling to make ends meet. Some in King County are starting to experience economic recovery from the Great Recession, but many in our region still struggle with rising housing and transportation costs.
For too many riders, high transportation costs present a stark option: deciding between having
enough money to ride the bus to get to employment or services and putting food on the table. They are riders that are still feeling the full brunt of the economic downturn; the unemployed and those working multiple jobs to stay above water. Some people who, because they cannot afford to live near their jobs, are taking two or three buses to get to work.
In 2013, as we braced for the fifth in a series of proposed fare increases since 2008, the Council resolved to find some relief for those who depend on affordable public trans-portation. The opportunity to get to school, employment and services affordably provides pathways for residents to thrive.
Orca Lift is a boost for people who depend on public transportationO U R T U R N
I have been thinking a great deal recently about the multiple roles a newspaper plays in a community. I suppose all this thinking stuff has something to do with my job, or I am low on my buttermilk smoothies.
I am fortunate that I get to roam around to numerous newspapers owned by Sound Publishing and pester folks. This roaming has given me the opportunity to watch a lot of very talented writers crafting stories and many fine newsrooms putting out papers.
A newspaper is a different kind of a chick-en. It is a business that carries the limitations
and, most importantly, the responsibilities of First Amendment protec-tion.
Most businesses are concerned about keep-ing the doors on the hinges and selling widgets smothered in cheese.
The intriguing part of producing a newspa-per is the number of balls that must be kept in the air to keep the presses running.
I have read a pile of articles over the last few years from around the country about the future of newspapers. Many are either mis-informed or in service of great and glorious Wizard of I Am Smarter than You.
Most of the articles I have come across predicting the future of newspapers are authored by someone who is not producing a paper – although the writers often say they did once, or their parents did, or they knew a guy down the street who read a newspaper… once.
I learned long ago never to predict the future. I can barely predict where I will be in the next seven minutes, or remember where I am supposed to be in the next seven minutes.
The wonderful writers at my newspaper who are constantly telling me where I should be and pointing out that I am not there … wherever there is. Nothing like youth and a functional brain, complete with memory. I must have had that once, but I don’t really remember.
Here is my secret decoder ring forecast on the future of anything: No one has a clue – including those hair-piece wonders with beer

Activists take their toll
It’s startling to see that elephants will no longer be in the Ringling Bros. and Bar-num & Bailey Circus. We can chalk this up to a decades-long harassment campaign from radical animal-rights activists, who alleged elephant mistreat-ment, taking its toll.
We shouldn’t forget that activists had their day in court to prove their claims – and lost, spectacularly. A judge dismissed their case, finding that animal rights groups had covertly paid their key witness, who lied un-der oath, nearly $200,000.
Ringling’s parent company sued the activists for racketeer-ing and bribery and collected $25 million in settlement money, including $6 million from the Humane Society of the United States.
It’s nice to hear, however, that the Ringling elephants will
retire to a company care center in Florida that has helped breed these animals, which are endangered in the wild. Ironically, this animal care exceeds anything the always-complaining animal-rights activists provide.– Will Coggin, director of research, Center for Consumer Freedom
Is traditional journalism dying?
Whenever I told people that I was interested in studying communications and broad-cast journalism, I was always met with confused looks, fol-lowed by the statement “isn’t that a dying field?”
It is true that many well-known forms of professional journalism have fallen on hard times, but they aren’t dying. It is just a transitional period.
This sort of transition has actually happened before. General-interest magazines like Life once dominated the market, but when television came along, these formats faded, due to the new medium that did the job better.
However, magazines them-selves have managed to survive by living off of niche audienc-es. They just had to evolve

I believe newspapers will be around because of the story. The form a newspaper will take I don’t know, but the story is the thing. Story is a spiritual being that demands great disci-pline and patience. If the writer is quiet and stays still long enough, the story will speak.

The County is commit-ted to creating equity and building social justice in order to make progress in the elimination of the root cause of those inequi-ties. We understand that access to transportation is a critical “determinant of equity”, and that in devel-oping Orca Lift we were establishing a policy that would carry forward into the future, regardless of economic ups and downs.
We asked a panel of representatives from a wide
range of human service agencies, transit advocacy groups, and government agencies to explore the options available to the County. Their recom-mendation was to expand the One Regional Card for All (Orca) program to include bus riders who meet specific financial guidelines – such as having an income 200 percent or less of the federal poverty level as established by the U.S. Health and Human Services Department.
Last February, the County Council unani-mously approved the $1.50
fare, which will be available to adults who meet income and other requirements. Eligible riders may enroll at specific social service agencies or through Public Health-Seattle & King County.
Orca Lift is a fare that acknowledges the need for providing transit access and mobility for those who would see the bus doors close on them without it.
Councilmembers Larry Phil-lips, Larry Gossett and Joe Mc-Dermott lead the King County Council in the development of the low-income fare program that has become Orca Lift.

to adapt to the new environment.Of course, when people talk about the
fall of traditional journalism, social media is frequently mentioned. Social media has created what is known as “amateur journalism.”
Despite its popularity, it isn’t able to provide the reliable sources and informa-tion that traditional journalism is known for. Even still, social media cannot be ignored, and it’s good to see most news outlets focus a lot of time and resources into social media to adapt to the times.
In an era where technology changes so rapidly, it’s easy to write off traditional forms of journalism as dead. However, it’s just an evolutionary process in how to best communicate news and information to people.
No matter what medium is being used – print, digital or something different in the future – the core principles of traditional journalism will stay intact.– Kevin Vallene

Auburn’s Of� cial Poet Laureate
March Windis rushing up & down in the alley,
trashing garbage cans, telling the peach tree old tales about loneliness & the moon washing its tear-stained face
in the pond next door.
There’s the moon, here’s the peach tree––
& I’m round as an eclipse,fruitful as pits left hanging
after the � esh is gone.
None of us is more than a promise.

After compacting, Tate said, no work may be done there for six weeks.
No date has yet been set for a groundbreaking, although early May is a possibility.
Plans for Merrill Gardens at Auburn show a U-shaped building with a center-landscaped court-yard, part of the courtyard acces-sible to the public, facing South Division.
Its 168,331 square feet of space will be divided between the below-grade parking level and three stories of memory-care units above ground, a mixture of one-bedroom, one-bath studio and two-bedroom, two-bath apartments.
There will be two entrances, the first off First Street Southeast and the second off Second Street Southeast.
According to City officials, neither Merrill Gardens nor the Trek Apartments project to its
immediate north will offer Section 8 housing. All of the units will be market rate.
In 2007, the Economic Develop-ment Administration awarded the City a $2.2 million federal grant and a $7.2 million local revitaliza-tion bond that upgraded streets, sidewalks and utilities to support such construction on South Divi-sion.
City officials estimate that between them, the Trek Apart-ment retail project on the former
Cavanaugh block on East Main and the Merrill Gardens project should bring 300-500 new residents into the downtown core.
According to its website, Merrill Gardens, a privately-owned, fami-ly-run company, owns and operates 21 senior living communities in four states with a focus on lifestyle. Each Merrill Gardens community is different in physical structure, reflecting the characteristics of the area where it is and the needs of its residents.

Have you ever thought of pre-planning your funeral?
“I feel like we have a lot momentum and I want to keep that momentum go-ing,” Guier said. “There are a lot of things in the works that are going to probably take longer than the next nine months to bring to fruition.”
Ever since the city voted overwhelmingly to recall Sun, Pacific has been on the rebound, with Guier and the council filling vacancies and reorganizing staff at City Hall.
Work is progressing as well on two crucial road improvement projects, Val-entine Avenue and Stewart Road. Both projects were on life support during Sun’s administration but now have the potential to attract retail and commercial busi-nesses to the city.
“It’s going to take a little time to keep nursing and massaging and getting it out there, and I want to keep working on that,” Guier said. “I’m excited about the two road projects that are going on. They are going to
be finishing up soon, and I want to work with staff and try to attract some real good businesses and get a revenue base, something that really compliments Pacific.”
Although Sun may have been in office for only 18 months after winning a write-in campaign in 2011, the effects of his tenure – which included the loss of most of the city’s depart-ment heads, either by firing or resignation – are long lasting, according to Guier.
“I think it will probably
take us about five years to recover from all the dam-age that was done in 18 months,” Guier said. “We keep uncovering things.”
But the City is heading in the right direction because of the spirit of coopera-tion between council and administration, Guier said.
“I think the majority of the council is real pleased about the direction,” Guier said. “And I wouldn’t want a council that were all yes men. I like the conversa-tion and the debate that we have about different things we’re trying to do and move forward. But it’s a different feeling now then it was 19 months ago. I just feel like people are coming out more and more and getting back to that community feel.”
The real key to the con-tinued recovery, Guier said, is continuity.
“There is always a start up and transition time,” She said. “I’d hate to see some of the things that I, staff and the council have worked on take a back seat, or take another course, or just drop off the map altogether.”
In addition to capitaliz-ing on the City’s infrastruc-ture improvements and beefing up the revenue base to move the City forward, Guier said should she win, she also has a couple of pet projects she hopes to complete.
“I’d like to create a walk-ing park system that talks about the heritage of our city,” Guier said. “It’s an idea from our planning
department. You could go point-to-point and learn about the city. We’re small enough you could walk the whole system and have a little piece of history at each place. I’m kind of excited about that.”
Guier cited her ongoing involvement in several re-gional committees, including the Sound Cities Association, as reasons for another term in the big chair.
“I want to be viewed by the people of Pacific that not only did I help move us out of all that, but that I also have a vision to keep the City moving forward,” she said. “It took all of us, the council, everyone to get out of that. And we need all of us to keep this moving forward.”

the opportunities that have been afford-ed me. … My wife and I look forward to our retirement years with eight beautiful grandchildren in a commu-nity that we love,” Herren wrote.’
The district could fill Herren’s posi-tion by promoting from within or it could open up the process as it does when it hires a teacher or principal. Vicki Alonzo, public information offi-cer for the Auburn School District, said the school board will meet in a special executive session Saturday.
There is no mandatory retirement age for the office of superintendent.
The Auburn School District’s board of directors in 2008 chose Herren, then deputy superintendent, to suc-ceed retiring Superintendent Linda Cowan.
Herren came to Auburn High School in 1979 from East Wenatchee Junior High School, and for the next 10 years taught economics, history and physical education there. In 1989, he became Auburn High School’s dean of students. He served as the school’s assistant principal from 1990 to 1992, and as its principal from 1992 to 1997.
Herren earned his doctorate in education from Seattle University in 1992.
From 1997 to 2001 Herren was assistant superintendent of the dis-trict. In 2001, he was named deputy superintendent, with overall respon-sibility for curriculum instruction and assessment and for supervision over principals.
A childhood polio victim, Herren wrestled in high school in California and at San Francisco State Univer-
sity. He was head wrestling coach at Auburn for 13 years, and his teams finished in the state’s top 10 nine times in his tenure. He was elected AAA Coach of the Year in 1986.
Among the signal accomplish-ments of his eight-year tenure as superintendent was leading the suc-cessful drive to pass the $110 million measure to build a new Auburn High School, which opened last September.
In November 2014, the Washing-ton Association of School Adminis-trators named him the Washington State Superintendent of the Year. The program recognizes the outstanding leadership of active, front-line su-perintendents and pays tribute to the men and women who lead the state’s public schools.
Under Herren’s watch, the Au-burn School District last year won the Road Map Collective Impact award for closing achievement gaps. Between 2011 and 2014, Auburn schools won 52 individual Washing-ton State Achievement Awards owing to implementation of Professional Learning Communities (PLC), a teacher leader academy, distributed leadership, data analysis for continu-ous improvement, standards-based teaching and reciprocal accountabil-ity for learning and systems innova-tion.
“Auburn is blessed to have Dr. Her-ren as our superintendent, due to his focus on kids, staff and the Auburn School District patrons,” Ray Vefik, then president of the Auburn School District Board of Directors, said at the time. “He embodies advocacy, role modeling, leadership, integrity, a hard-working attitude and is not afraid to talk about change.”

Stacking Association’s (WSSA) United States Sport Stacking National Champi-onships at Auburn Mountainview High School.
For John Ansotigue, who has been involved with sport stacking since 1994 and has organized the regional competition, the national event is a very big deal indeed.
“We have had a very successful North-west Regional competition for a number of years,” said Ansotigue, an Evergreen Heights Elementary music and physical eduction teacher. “The WSSA has decided to come to our area because we have such a strong base of sport stackers, so they decided to come out West. I’m excited to have it here and to have all the people I’ve known at tournaments throughout the years all over come here.”
Wayne Godinet, a program director for the Boys and Girls Club of Oceanside, Calif., invented sport stacking in the early 1980s. Sometimes known as cup stacking, the sport centers on sets of 12 uniformly-sized cups, placed upside-down on a flat surface, stacked in one of three configura-tions and disassembled quickly. The goal is to complete a stacking cycle as fast as possible. In competitions, stackers record
times in various events.In addition to spurring the competitive
nature of participants, Ansotigue said, sport stacking helps with the development of children who take up the sport. That’s why he has been teaching it at Evergreen Heights for almost 15 years.
“I liked the physical and physiological things that took place when the kids were learning the sport,” Ansotigue said. “Like the hand-eye coordination, the left-brain, right-brain development, called bilateral brain development, taking place. It’s also developing musical and athletic skills. The patterns in cup stacking help with math-ematics. They’re finding through studies that kids who do this from an early stage do better in math because of the patterns that they’re learning. They also learn to read earlier because they’re training their brain to go from left to right. So reading and math ability have been approved.”
The nationals, which are expected to draw more than 200 competitors from throughout the country, run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.
Winners at the event earn a chance to compete at the 2015 World Sport Stacking Tournament, April 11-12 in Montreal.

STAFF WRITERSeattle Weekly is seeking a Sta� Writer to join its editorial team and help chronicle the fastest growing city in the U.S.
The Sta� Writer will be responsible for contributing high-quality news and feature stories with a focus on in-depth reporting and narrative storytelling. The right candidate will be somebody who feels more at home in the � eld rather than in front of a screen. In other words, if you think stringing tweets together can pass as a story, or prefer to conduct interviews over e-mail, this is not the job for you.
This Sta� Writer will be someone adept at, and perhaps addicted to, covering local politics and social-justice issues, but who can also sni� out the odd story about emergent trends in the tech sector or the city’s sports culture. She or he will come to every editorial sta� meeting with two or three new ideas for stories, and will walk away frustrated if the editor only bites on one.
Seattle Weekly is committed to delivering exceptional content to our readers each week, which means that the right candidate will know how to properly nurture a story, working closely with an editor on multiple rewrites to produce a piece that readers will enjoy, respect, and share, even if they disagree with it. He or she will be patient enough to let a story develop, but will also be capable of executing an unreasonably quick turnaround, and will be impeccable in observing deadlines. And the Sta� Writer will excel at crafting long-form features, though he or she will also be able to deliver impactful, thoroughly reported accounts in just 800 words.
Since Seattle is an unusually competitive market, the Sta� Writer will need to possess an ability to uncover stories that readers won’t � nd anywhere else. Second only to that is an insatiable desire to � nd a new angle on a well-trod story, revealing something new about a subject that other reporters might think is over and done with. She or he must be able to talk to people who don’t want to tell their story, or who maybe think they don’t have a story to tell. The right candidate will be smart enough to � nd the right sources and brave enough to ask the next, tougher question.
The Sta� Writer will also be a delight to work with—serious about the task at hand, but able to contribute to a convivial o� ce environment and to participate in group projects with consideration, honesty, and enthusiasm.
And, most important, the Sta� Writer must possess the ability to surprise her or his editor. If you are used to setting the bar high and then clearing it with ease, this could very well be the job for you.
To apply, please send a cover letter, resume, and your � ve favorite stories to: [email protected]. Please note: ATTN: SWSEA in the subject line.

The Muckleshoot Library presents a new exhibit from the Burke Museum, Salish Bounty: Traditional Native American Foods of Puget Sound.
The exhibit, on display in the library through April 12, spotlights the
revival of traditional Coast Salish food, and explores the deep history of the area’s food traditions.
Salish Bounty is co-curated by Burke Museum archaeologists and Coast Salish advisors.
Salish Bounty – com-prised of historic photo
images, map and informa-tive text printed on free-standing banners – reminds us that food isn’t solitary; cooking and eating are things we do with other people and express our cul-tural history and values.
The exhibit includes a four-minute audiovisual
DVD, offering archaeologi-cal insight into Coast Salish food resources spanning thousands of years along the Duwamish River.
Knowledge of Coast Salish cuisine has been passed down from the elders and supplemented by archaeological and histori-
cal research. More than 280 kinds of plants and animals have been identified as ingredients in this cuisine.
Contemporary Coast Salish cooks incorporate traditional and newly-introduced ingredients, sharing traditions to create healthy alternatives for families and communities still struggling with loss of lands and waters, drasti-cally changed lifestyles and imposed industrial foods.
Salish Bounty provides a local perspective on a myriad of 21st century food issues and how, as in many places around the world, the revival of Coast Salish food traditions embodies the reestablishment of more healthful and sustainable practices that honor land and community.
The Muckleshoot Library is a part of the award-winning King County Library System. Located on State Highway 164, halfway between Auburn and Enumclaw, on the Muckle-shoot Indian Reservation, the library serves tribal and non-tribal members, offer-
ing collections of books, magazines, music and DVDs for children, teens and adults, in addition to a variety of programs and services, including com-puter access and meeting room space.
The library has enhanced the Salish Bounty exhibit with a selection of books on foraging, ethnobotany, regional cookbooks and Native American history.

Bellevue Reporter
Six years ago, Janna Hoehn and her husband made their first trip to Washington, D.C. When they set out to see memori-als, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall was first on her list.
“The Vietnam War was going on while I was in high school,” Hoehn said. “Even though I never knew anyone killed in Vietnam, I wanted a rubbing of one of the names.”
The name she chose was Gregory John Crossman, listed as missing in action. When Hoehn returned home, she decided to research Crossman and find his family.
“In the event they were never able to go to the Wall, I would send them the etching, hoping they would share a photo with me of Gregory,” Hoehn said.
Unsuccessful at first, she enlisted her cousin, the family’s historian, and was able to find a college photo of Gregory after six weeks of searching.
Jump forward two years when Hoehn, a resident of Maui, Hawaii, saw a story about the “Faces Never Forgotten” for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. The goal, to put a face with every name that is etched on the Wall.
Hoehn sent in the photo she had of Gregory Cross-man. Five days later she received an email from Jan Scruggs, the founder and president of the Vietnam Wall, saying it was the first for that soldier and asking her if she could help him find the photos for the 42 Maui County soldiers who were killed in Vietnam.
“I told him it would be an honor,” said Hoehn, adding that she had always hoped she could do something for the Vietnam veterans be-cause of the way they were treated when they returned home.
“What I thought would be a very easy project, with Maui being so small, was anything but easy,” Hoehn said.
She combed phone books, calling every like name of each soldier
and found 10. Next, she searched archived year-books for every high school on Maui and found a few more soldiers. Finally, the Maui News ran an online story about her efforts, and over time she found all of the photos.
Next she turned her efforts to her hometown, Hemet, Calif., and eventu-ally the whole state.
“I have collected over 1,200 photos since May 2013,” Hoehn said.
Now her search has turned to King County.
Hoehn has collected the names of soldiers from King County without a photo to link with the Wall.
“If anyone is related, a friend or a classmate to any of the young men on the list, I would very much appreciate hearing from you,” Hoehn said. “Even if you don’t have a photo, but know which school any of these young men attended, it would be so helpful.”
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall has the names of 58,300 etched on its face. To date, only 39,500 photos have been collected.
Those who have photos or information can contact Hoehn at [email protected].
She also is seeking a volunteer to “do some foot-work” in the community if all the photos aren’t found.
Janna Hoehn has been active in the national effort to find photos of all the names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. COURTESY PHOTO

Amazon associates’ food drive benefits local food banksFOR THE REPORTER
The Amazon fulfill-ment center in Sumner recently donated nearly 2,000 pounds of food to two area food banks in Auburn and Kent.
Amazon associates organized an internal food drive contest to collect the donations. Each of these food banks provides
hundreds of meals a day to local residents and families in need.
“We so appreciate each and every person and business that chooses to help us fill the need for those here in Auburn,” said Debbie Christian, executive director of the Auburn Food Bank.
Nearly 850 pounds of food was delivered to the Kent Food Bank.
Amazon employs hun-dreds of people in King and Pierce counties and strives to give back to the
communities surrounding their fulfillment centers.
Seattle-based Amazon opened the fulfillment center in Sumner in 2011 to pack and ship customer orders. A new fulfillment center is being construct-ed in Kent.
