EVERETT — In the not-too-distant future, you may be saying ‘Aaaahh’ to a doctor in training.

Washington State University plans to teach medical students in Everett after it launches its new medical school.

The idea is that students will spend the first two years of medical school in class-room work in Spokane, but then get their clinical experience and more classroom work either by remaining in Spokane or studying in Everett, the Tri-Cities or Vancouver.

WSU has already reached agreements with Providence Regional Medical Cen-ter Everett and The Everett Clinic to help teach the medical students.

There’s a need in this area for more doctors, said Dr. Joanne Roberts, Provi-dence’s chief medical officer. And the best way to attract more doctors is to educate them in the community.

“Snohomish County is one of the most under-doctored counties in the state,” Roberts said. “It’s ironic because we sit next to the most highly doctored county in the state. But they train in Seattle and doctors tend to remain where they train.”

If all goes as planned, the first students — probably about 10 starting out — will arrive in Everett in 2019. And that could grow to 60 students by 2024.

Everett works well for this, because the city has excellent health providers but also has easy access to rural areas, said Paul Pitre, chancellor for WSU North Puget Sound at Everett.

Since WSU won the right to open its own medical school, people have been quizzing Pitre about what it means locally.

“When I’m out and around whether it’s in Oak Harbor, Mount Vernon or Ever-ett, people are asking about the medical school and how it’s going to work,” Pitre said. “It really coincides with our land-grant mission where we focus on out-

reach to communities for education and service.”

The Legislature last year changed a state law that had given the University of Washington sole authority to oper-ate a public medical school in Washing-ton. Lawmakers also appropriated $2.5 million for WSU to start the school in Spokane, which is being named after the college’s late president, Elson S. Floyd. WSU has hired Dr. John Tomkowiak of the Chicago Medical School to be the school’s inaugural dean. The medical school is seeking accreditation and hopes to enroll its first class in 2017.

One of the pitches WSU made to the Legislature was there was a need to get more doctors who are willing to practice in rural areas. WSU envisioned a com-munity-based model where medical stu-dents would train in communities around

the state. Right now, 29 percent of the state’s

population lives in King County, but 49 percent of the doctors live there, said Ken Roberts, the medicals schoo’s vice dean for academic and community partner-ships. WSU also wants to attract students from these areas, he said.

“You can imagine if a student is from Mount Vernon and had a chance to do a lot of their clinical work in and around Mount Vernon that increases the likeli-hood they’ll be a physician in Mount Ver-non,” Ken Roberts said.

Dr. Erica Peavy, who works at The Everett Clinic and is working with WSU on the partnership, said she’s a prod-uct and supporter of the UW Medical School. But she said that she became con-vinced once she saw WSU’s research that more could be done.

“I think what I see in the young doctors coming out of training, they really gravi-tate to Seattle,” Peavy said. “The farther you get away from Seattle the more diffi-cult it is to recruit them.”

WSU North Puget Sound at Ever-ett will provide classroom and office and library space for students and faculty in its under construction academic building in north Everett across from Everett Com-munity College.

An associate medical dean and a cou-ple of professors will be based in Everett. And the college will also tap doctors from the area to educate students. “There are a lot of potential faculty members who are at The Everett Clinic and at Providence hospital that have a lot of expertise,” Pitre said.

“A lot of them are doing research as well as teaching right now.”

A t one point, Pocock Racing Shells stood alone atop

the world of rowing.After all, the company in

its heyday built nearly all of the racing shells used by college crews in America.

Crews rowing Pocock boats won gold medal after gold medal at the Olympics.

The company today based in Everett dom-inated the racing-shell industry and no one gave it a second thought.

What happened at the 1960 Olympics in Rome marked the beginning of a decline in popularity of Pocock boats.

The U.S. eight-oared shell, crewed by the Naval Academy, failed to win a medal.

“That had never hap-pened in the annals of the modern Olympics,” said Bill Tytus, 68, current owner and president of Pocock Racing Shells.

Winner of the gold medal was a German crew using slightly different equipment and rowing a boat from a different man-ufacturer, Tytus said. It shook coaches’ confidence in Pocock boats.

“That began the reign of doubt,” he said. “So from that day on, really, all kinds of things changed.”

In the following lean years, the Pocock brand came to signify past glory.

When he bought the company in 1985, Bill Tytus could have proba-bly sold a lot more boats if he had just renamed the business, said his son, John Tytus, 41, vice president in charge of sales for Pocock Racing Shells.

But his dad refused.

“His thing was: It was founded by George Pocock, it was THAT company and over his dead body would it be changed.”

Now the 104-year-old company is seeing a resur-gence. Its name and glory were returned to the pub-lic’s conscience by the 2013 award-winning book, “The Boys In The Boat,” by author Daniel James Brown, about the Univer-sity of Washington crew that rowed to victory in the 1936 Olympics in Hit-ler’s Nazi Germany.

More importantly, the company is seeing an increase in sales for its boats built at its shop at 615 80th St. SW.

That’s due in part to Title IX, a federal law that’s still reshaping the NCAA.

The company has changed over the years — it was founded in Seattle and moved to Everett and

wood boats gave away to carbon fiber ones.

What hasn’t changed is the enduring vision of founder George Yeoman Pocock, whose words written in calligraphy are framed and hang on the wall of the company.

“It’s a great art, is row-ing. It’s the finest art there is. It’s a symphony of motion. And when you’re rowing well, why it’s near-ing perfection. And when you near perfection, you’re touching the Divine. It touches the you of yous. Which is your soul.”

A delicate thing made fast

Modern rowboat rac-ing — the oldest intercol-legiate sport in the U.S. — started on the River Thames in London in the early 18th century, with races between professional boatmen seasoned by ferrying clients back and forth across the river.

Big purses for prize money led to a criminal element getting involved. It wasn’t uncommon for a man to arrive for a race

only to find his boat sawn in half.

It was an atmosphere familiar to George Pocock, a descendant of itinerant boat builders who appren-ticed under his father building racing shells at England’s prestigious Eton College, according to Brown’s book.

When George won a race across the Thames in a boat he built, the prize of 50 English pounds allowed him and his older brother, Dick, to travel to Vancou-ver, British Columbia, in search of work.

They arrived in 1911, when George was 20. After working as carpen-ters and in lumber camps, the brothers were hired by the Vancouver Rowing Club to build racing sculls.

From there, Hiram B. Conibear — known as the father of Washington rowing — lured them to the University of Wash-ington campus to build racing shells for his fledg-ling rowing program. It was around this time that George Pocock reportedly taught Conibear a rowing

stroke based on precision rather than brute strength, which soon became known as the Conibear stroke.

The Pocock brothers spent the World War I years building float-plane pontoons for William E. Boeing’s new airplane company, but in 1922, George Pocock returned to building racing shells on the UW campus and his brother went east to build boats for Yale University.

At the time, metals like aluminum were coming into favor and George Pocock didn’t like it, said Bill Tytus. Pocock missed working with wood and he missed boat building.

Pocock went on to become one of the world’s leading designer and builder of boats for the next 50 years, crafting the Husky Clipper used by the Washington crew team that won the Olym-pics in Germany. His boats continued to bring home medals for American crew teams for years.

In a film called, “The Symphony of Motion,” George Pocock revels in the beauty of a thin strip of Western red cedar. Build-ing a good boat creates “a sense of fulfillment, of good craftsmanship,” his says. His son, Stan Pocock, who took over the com-pany when his dad died in 1976, said in the film that there’s beauty in watching a good boat being rowed: “The very idea of the thing is to make a very del-icate thing go fast.”

Eric Carpenter works on the finish of a shell at Pocock Racing Shells in Everett. The company is seeing a resurgence in part due to Title IX and also its past is remembered in a 2013 non-fiction book.

Pocock President, Bill Tytus talks about the rich history of his company.













A chance meeting

It was around 1960 that Bill Tytus met the Pococks. At that time the Pocock company was still on the UW campus in the Conibear Shellhouse and Tytus was a 12-year-old boy on a bike, lured to the boathouse by something other than boats.

“It was right next door to the town dump,” he said.

Today it’s a parking lot, but the dump back then was huge, Tytus said. Methane gas burned off in what looked like brick barbecues, he said, “so they had this row of eter-nal fires and just some of the coolest stuff you can imagine laying around the dump.”

Eventually, though, he did poke his nose in at the boathouse. And fell under the spell of the man who’d mentored genera-tions of college crewmen and regarded rowing and boat-building almost as a religion. George Pocock had a lilting English accent and just about everything he said would make a good quote, Tytus said.

Just a few years after that meeting, the UW’s admin-istration forced the Poco-cks to move their business off campus, deciding that a private for-profit enter-prise on a public school campus was in violation of university policy.

As a result, George

and Stan Pocock moved the company to a North-lake Way location on Lake Union, below the I-5 bridge, where Stan Pocock continued exper-iments he’d begun with fiberglass and composite materials for racing shells. Impressed by materi-als used in the aerospace industry, “he developed the first line of all carbon fiber monocoque racing shells in 1981,” accord-ing to the Pocock web-site. Stan Pocock died in December 2014 at the age of 91.

Bill Tytus graduated from the UW and a grad-

uate degree from Harvard, spent a few years teaching in Boston and made some money building custom homes. He also knew the industry, having rowed in college and been friends with the Pococks for many years. Later his firstborn son, whom he named John Pocock Tytus, would also row in college, in Syra-cuse, N.Y., and fall in love with boats.

“There are times — and for me it happened a lot less frequently than it did for my dad — but there’s times when you’re row-ing in a boat that it’s truly transcendent,” John Tytus

said. “And it’s like, you cannot duplicate it. And it’s like my dad said, these old fogies chase this stuff, they still do, trying to get a piece of it, because it was so magical.”

Rowing has the power to transform lives, said Bill Tytus, who has also coached the sport. Many are the times he’s heard from parents who were frantic because their child had gotten involved with the wrong group of friends and was getting into trou-ble, he said.

“The last chance for this kid was, they make him go sign up for a junior row-

ing program some place and I’m not exaggerating,” Tytus said, “three months later, the kid’s got the hair-cut, he’s got a new group of friends and they talk about nice things.”

It was under Bill Tytus’ watch that Pocock Racing Shells moved to Everett after the Seattle location grew too expensive and too mired in city restric-tions for a manufacturing company like Pocock Rac-ing Shells to operate, Bill Tytus said. Moving north was the best thing he ever did, he and his son said.

“Snohomish County embraces small business unlike anywhere else,” John Tytus said.

Changing nature of rowing

The nature of the Inter-collegiate Rowing Associ-ation changed as did the way Olympic crews were selected. No longer did they consist of the winning college crew, as in Brown’s book, when the UW crew beat UC-Berkeley on Lake Washington and went on to race the East Coast college elite for the right to row for Olympic gold.

A Vesper Rowing Club of Philadelphia crew — a composite of both college and club members — won the gold medal for the USA in 1964 in Tokyo, rowing a Pocock racing shell in eight-oared boat competition, according to historylink.org.

But in 1968, the USA team used fiberglass boats mass-produced overseas and came in last in the eight-oared boat com-petition, marking “the beginning of the end for American dominance in world-class rowing”.

If the dominance of Pocock boats was also fading, the 1960 Olym-pic defeat was just one of many catalysts, said former UW rowing coach Bob Ernst. (Ernst, a longtime coach for men and women rowing at the UW, was fired in November after a reported dispute with stu-dents and administration. The firing came after he was interviewed for this story.)

It was “a sign of the times,” Ernst said, pointing out that the car industry was changing too; while in the 1950s, everyone was


Pocock Racing Shells employs 20 skilled boat builders who produce about four racing shells a month.

“It’s a great art, is rowing. It’s the finest art there is. It’s a symphony of motion.

— George Pocock

buying Chevys, Buicks and Fords, during the 1960s, imports like Datsuns arrived on the scene.

“It became more of a global market,” he said.

Competition also increased in sports. Some countries had been too busy rebuilding after World War II to engage in the Olympics, he said, but in 1956 the Soviet Union participated for the first time and, in 1964, East Germany competed under its own banner.

Also a factor in the change in fortunes for Pocock Racing Shells was the company’s expulsion from the UW campus, where it had no overhead. Partly for this reason, the price of $1,250 for a Pocock eight-oared boat stayed the same from the company’s inception into the 1950s, according to a December 2014 post by Peter Mallory on row2k.com.

The price of an eight-oared Pocock boat today ranges from $32,750 to $45,900.

George Pocock could have raised his prices

despite his lack of over-head, but having been par-tially paid in Boeing stock during his time there, he discovered after a few years that he was set for life, states Mallory’s post, and he wanted to pass on his good fortune to the sport of rowing.

One unintended result of keeping his prices low was that no one else could compete in the boat-build-ing market.

Today there is compe-tition from American and European boat builders.

Much has changed for Pocock Racing Shells, but a Boeing influence remains. The newest car-bon fiber boats are crafted from the same mate-rial used in Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner, Tytus said.

The next material will also likely be one used in the airplane industry. While not “revolutionary” like carbon fiber, boron fiber is a safe bet, Tytus said, and will probably be used in boat-building when the price comes down to a sporting-goods

level.“Our boats don’t suffer

from any strength issues,” he said. “We’re always looking for stiffness and boron is that in spades.”

A boat-building genius

These days Pocock Racing Shells is thriving, “doing better than it’s ever done,” John Tytus said.

With 20 skilled boat builders, it turns out four boats a month — from

small, single sculls to 58-foot-long, eight-oared “swing” boats like that used by “The Boys in the Boat” — and has a four- to five-month backlog.

The company special-izes in building boats for colleges, Bill Tytus said, and the number of col-lege crews — which can number 50 to 60 stu-dents — has grown in recent years, largely due to Title IX. (Signed by Pres-ident Richard Nixon in 1972, Title IX states that no one can be excluded, on the basis of sex, from participation in any edu-cational programs or activities getting federal financial aid.) No one buys more Pocock boats than the UW, said Ernst, esti-mating that 40 of 50 rac-ing shells at the university are Pococks.

“As far as I’m con-cerned,” he said of Bill Tytus, “he’s a boat-build-ing genius.”

As for “The Boys in the Boat” a film crew recently filmed a documentary about the 1936 Olympic crew, with current UW crew members as extras and starring vintage boats owned by the Everett

Rowing Association. The documentary is expected to air next July on PBS, Ernst said.

He said he worked closely with Brown, edit-ing the book five times.

Along with Bill and John Tytus, he’s read it several times and praised it for its vivid story line and accurate portrayal of rowing.

Ernst said he’s also given countless tours of the cur-rent Conibear Shellhouse, home of the Husky Clip-per, the Pocock boat given immortality by those nine working-class Washington boys.

“We’ve had thousands of people come from all over the world . . .they started coming as soon as the book hit the market.”

Bill Tytus said he can imagine a scenario in which the book inspires a new generation of crew.

“They read the book and the book is thrilling,” he said. “And they’re driv-ing over the bridge one day and they see the boats out there and they realize that they can actually do that.

“And that would be a fine result of the book.”

If you’re ever looking for the owners of Ever-ett’s homegrown appliance store, Judd & Black, try the freight room. Or the repair shop.

Or the aisles of their five stores now spread up and down the I-5 corridor.

Because that’s where Bob and Cory Long often can be found doing what comes naturally to the brothers carrying on the legacy of their grandfa-ther’s business, now in its 75th year.

Company president, Bob Long III, 48, says his employees are often shocked to find him doing not-so-white-collar work.

They ask, “‘Bob, why are you up in the ware-house putting away freight or running a hand truck?’ It’s because I work, this is my job,” says the matter-of-fact boss of some 100 employees. “This is what I do.”

Work hard, take care of customers, treat employ-ees like family, give back to the community and don’t buy it if you can’t afford it.

And for goodness sake, provide repair service for the refrigerators, stoves, washing machines, dryers, dish washers, and other major appliances that go out the door.

Such business axiom has been passed down from Bob Long Sr., to his sons, Bob Long Jr. and Bill Long, then to the sons of Bob Long Jr., Bob Long III and Cory Long, 46. It’s now being instilled in the fourth generation, Taylor Long, Bob’s 24-year-old son.

Working their way up — and buying out the business from the previ-ous generation — is also a Long tradition. Bob III started doing deliveries in 1983, took out trash and worked in the warehouse.

Cory started in the late 1980s while still in high school. Taylor also began learning the ropes — or wires and electronics — at a young age. But he didn’t have to, he stresses.

“It wasn’t required. I decided I wanted to do it,” he says walking past rows of spanking new stoves, refrigerators, dryers, grills and dish washers.

“I started at age 16 with the delivery department,

then service and parts and now I’m on the sales floor. Yeah, I’ll probably be a lifer like the others.”

It’s also not unusual to find sons and daughters of long-time employees at Judd & Black’s five stores in Everett, Bellingham, Lynnwood, Marysville and Mount Vernon. One reason is the reasonable hours, steady shifts and getting major holidays off when stores are closed.

Unlike large retail stores, Judd & Black busi-nesses are open only from 9 to 5:30 every day.

Why? Because the orig-inal Bob Long wanted to be home for dinner every night and spend time with his family.

“We care about our employees as much as we care about our custom-ers,” says his namesake grandson, Bob Long lll. “We’re not open until 9

o’clock at night. We’re not trying to kill anybody. That’s why our hours are where they’re at. You have a whole other part of your life. You have children, you have family, you have church.”

But where are Judd and Black?

They’ve told the story countless times but seem happy to provide the his-tory lesson one more time.

In 1940, a man named Wayne Judd opened his own small electric shop selling and repairing new-fangled items. Think cake mixers and toasters. Don Black joined a few years later.

In 1945, a young enter-prising man named Bob Long who knew his way around wires started work-ing for them. At the end of World War II, when rations on metal and other material came to an end, along came a new way to wash clothes using electricity.

Washing machines soon became the envy of every American household.

So Judd & Black got into the washing machine sales business.

And Bob Long really got into the suds, soak and rinse cycles.

“He thought the wash-ing machine was a pretty cool invention and it took off,” said Rachel Sylte, marketing director for Judd & Black, who recently gathered materi-als for the company’s 75th anniversary celebration. “In 1976, Bob Long Sr. purchased the business and turned it into an appli-ance store.”

He decided to keep the name Judd & Black. As did his sons and his grandsons.

“These are the guys who founded it. They’re the ones who worked their butts off,” says the current Bob Long. (His father, Robert Forbes Long died in 2011.) “They’re the ones who made it. I don’t think any of us put a lot into the name. We’re branded this way. I have too much respect for what this company has done for the last 75 years to go change the name.”

Bob Jr. bought the com-pany in 1986; his sons, in turn, took over the family

enterprise in 2005, three years before the economy went boom, boom, bleak.

From 2008 through 2010, the company struggled.

“In hindsight we were a little bit naive,” Bob Long III, admits. “You don’t understand how to play the game until you’ve played hurt. We only knew how to play successful up to that point. We were riding on our parents’ coattails.”

Once a fixture in only Snohomish County, the past four years have pre-sented opportunities the Long brothers couldn’t pass up.

They took over two appliance stores, Anderson Appliance in Mount Ver-non and Lehmann Appli-ance in Bellingham, and also merged with Anaco Appliance in Anacortes.

This means the name Judd & Black bellows from yellow and blue trademark signs up and down the I-5 corridor from Lynnwood to the Canadian border, covering Skagit , Snohom-ish, Whatcom, Island and San Juan counties.

But the brothers say they won’t be expanding anymore anytime soon. They are careful not to overextend themselves or their company.

Bob Long says his grandfather taught him “if you can’t pay for it, don’t buy it.”

“Never borrow any money. Don’t ever pay interest. We don’t buy trucks or tools or office equipment if we have to finance. If you have to buy a truck, it hurts swal-lowing $75,000 to buy a new delivery truck. But it’s what you’ve got to have to do the job.”

With hub stores in Everett and Mount Ver-non, the business also has a large parts depart-ment, a large crew to install appliances and union-represented service technicians.

Bob and Cory Long’s father and grandfather were both skilled elec-tricians so they grew up learning the importance of skilled trades and manual labor.

EVERETT — And now the new company has a name.

Danaher Corp., based in Washington, D.C., is spin-ning off 22 brands, includ-

ing Ever-ett’s Fluke C o r p . , into a new com-pany to be head-quartered in Ever-ett called Fortive.

Fortive will employ 20,000 people worldwide. Its subsidiaries had $6 bil-lion in revenue in 2014, and, when combined, are big enough to land it on the annual Fortune 500 list.

The company is seeking to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

“Fortive takes its name from the Latin root ‘fort,’ meaning strong. Com-bined with a mark sym-

bolizing forward momen-tum, growth and progress, the Fortive brand reflects the strength of our com-pany — a company built on a foundation of success and geared for growth and out-performance,” said James A. Lico, a current Danaher executive vice president and future pres-ident and chief executive officer of Fortive, in a news release.

Fortive said that it will be a leader in professional instrumentation, automa-tion, sensing and transpor-tation technologies. Fluke, at 6920 Seaway Blvd., fits under that umbrella as a test- and measure-ment-equipment company that employs about 2,400 people worldwide.

Danaher bought Fluke Corp. in 1998. Danaher announced May 13 that it was acquiring Pall Corp., a New York filtration and purification company, in a deal worth $13.8 billion.

On the same day, Dana-her announced that it would break into two publicly traded compa-

nies, one that would retain the name Danaher and the other, a diversified industrial company that had been referred to as “NewCo.”

And now the “NewCo” name has been shed for Fortive.

Danaher has said that it expects the separation of the two companies to be complete at the end of 2016.

Economic Alliance Sno-homish County leaders, as well as Everett city and state officials, successfully recruited the new parent company to open its head-quarters in Everett.

The move is expected to bring only 50 jobs to Everett, but it would be one of just 11 Fortune 500 companies based in Wash-ington and the only one outside King County.

With the revenue that it earned last year, Fortive would rank about 400 on Fortune magazine’s list of companies.

Fortive will include an team with a strong Dana-her legacy and will be

“committed to exceeding our customers’, sharehold-ers’ and associates’ expec-tations,” Lico said.

“As a standalone com-pany, we will pursue a strategy focused on creat-ing value through organic growth, operating margin expansion and mergers and acquisitions,” Lico said.

Fortive’s subsidiaries are based all over the United States, although one of the companies, Hengstler, is in Aldingen, Germany.

The closest subsidiary to Fluke Corp. is Tektro-nix in Portland, Oregon.

Other companies under the Fortive umbrella include: Gil-barco Veeder-Root; Tele-trac Navman; Kollmor-gen; Thomson; Dynapar; Qualitrol; Portescap; Hengstler; Gems Sensors and Controls; Ander-son-Negele; Pacific Sci-entific; Setra; Sonix; Mat-coTools; Veeder-Root; Namco; Ammco; Ventura Measurement; Jacobs Vehicle Systems; and Invetech.


kind of a dying art. If you go to school, you’re going to learn how to repair computers or something like that. You’re not going to learn to repair a wash-ing machine,” said Bob Long III. “When you buy something at Lowes or Home Depot, they don’t have repair service. So we pick up a lot of their ser-vice calls.”

Judd & Black also makes sure their sales staff know their stuff, the selling points of brands like Whirlpool, Magtag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Wolf and Viking.

(Mattresses and tele-visions, once featured at Judd & Black stores, are no longer sold.)

“We have a lot of knowledge that you can’t get in big box stores,” Sylte said. “We send our sales people all over the country to learn about the latest products.”

Some of their loca-tions have been rated the top appliance store in “Best of Northwest” cat-egories selected by the public.

Community service is

also a Judd & Black tra-dition. Recently retired long-time general man-ager Rick Kvangnes was known for his leadership of Christmas House, which collects and dis-tributes presents for low-income families.

The company also sup-ports the Boys and Girls Club, the annual Charity Golf Tournament, and many other service, art, and sports organizations.

Employees are also encouraged to volunteer their time.

“We’re a family com-pany and we’re a home-town company so we help support the communities we live and work in,” said Sylte, vice president of the Skagit Tulip Festival board.

The brothers can also be pretty low-key about their charitable dona-tions, often requesting anonymity.

“My brother and I were taught a long time ago by our grandparents that you know when you give, you give to give, you don’t give to get. There’s marketing promotions and there’s community donations.”

Turns out converting a former auto body shop into another kind of body business enhances local air quality.

“Most gyms have no windows so there’s no fresh air. Here we can roll up the sides because it was a garage. It sure helps with what I call gym breath,” jokes Kelly Tys-land as she gives a tour of Experience Momentum, a fitness, nutrition and reha-bilitation facility in Lynnwood that she owns with her husband, Shanon Tysland.

Both have impressive sports credentials; she is an Olympic bronze medalist; he is a triathlete. Both are personal trainers.

A love of sports and physical fitness and concern for the envi-ronment brought the couple together in 2005. Two years later, they decided to act on their mutual desire to help others pursue their “bet-ter selves” by opening

a wellness center focusing on physical therapy, nutrition and fitness for all, from the average out-of-shape slug to the elite endurance athlete.

“We’re here to treat the whole person,” explained Shanon, who is 40. “Some-one might come in for physical therapy because their hip hurts. But we’ll also ask, ‘How’s your nutrition? Tell me about it.’”

The first Experience Momentum space in Lynnwood measured 3,000-square feet. Now, there’s more than triple the room — 10,000-square-feet — at 4030 Alderwood Mall Blvd. to stretch, sweat, bend, balance, relax, recover, revive.

In a small room downstairs, yoga classes are on under way. In the front room, physical therapists work on peo-ple with sports- or work-related injuries. Behind a half-dozen closed doors, sports massages are underway and nutritionists confer with clients. In the back, a huge empty gym awaits the popular afternoon CrossFit crowds. One wall is lined with mats, weights and medicine balls while another is scrawled with directions for “WOD” Workout of the Day. In a back enclosed room, 20 stationary bikes and slots for people’s own bicycles are ready for CycleFit classes.

Bearing no resemblance to its former bent and dent body banger self, the inte-rior is white, wide and welcoming with earth tone accents and a large proclama-tion stating the business is part of a global partnership called “One Percent for the Planet.” Shanon explained that 1 percent of revenue is given to environmental non-profits, such as Washington Water Trust, Nature Conservancy and Plant with Purpose. More than a dozen Experi-ence Momentum employees also recently traveled to the Dominican Republic to help replant trees on local farms.

The facility has a more of a friendly, intimate feel to it than the typical ware-house-size workout centers. Instead of a long line of treadmills, bicycles and ellip-tical machines filled with silent, sweating men and women plugged into their own worlds and individual routines, Experi-

ence Momentum emphasizes group fit-ness through a variety of classes that run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Whole families sometimes end up signing up for the cen-ter’s various offerings.

And then perhaps their friends give it a try. And then friends of the friends filter in.

“Ninety percent of our clientele comes from word of mouth,” Shanon said.

Word has also gotten out about Expe-rience Momentum’s Anti-Gravity Tread-mill, which is used by people in need of rehabilitation after surgery or marathon-

ers who need to work out without the pressure of pounding pavement.

The machine mimics the weightless-ness experienced by astronauts but keeps a person’s feet on the ground, which is actually a treadmill. After stepping into, and being zipped into a clear plastic sealed skirt, a person’s weight is measured. Then, in small increments, the machine is calibrated to reduce a person’s weight by 20 percent, 30 percent, 50 percent.

After a few bursts of a strange sensa-tion of pressurized air filling the enclosed skirt, life as you know it gets lighter.

“It really helps with people who’ve had joint surgery and need to get stronger but can’t put full weight on their legs,” Sha-non explained. “We reduce their weight and they can run on the treadmill. It’s when you step off the machine and walk a few steps when you can really feel the difference.”

Kelly, a native of Shoreline, participated in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, part of the U.S. women’s ice hockey team that won a bronze medal (Canada won the gold and Sweden took silver.)

She was also on the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s ice hockey team that won back-to-back national championships. It was in fourth grade, back when she was Kelly Stephens, that she first stepped on the ice. Kelly quickly found she loved playing forward, behind a face mask, stick in hand, racing toward the net. In high school, she moved to Langley, British Columbia, to attend Delphi Academy, a school with 160 stu-dents, only five of them girls but one that wanted her to play on the boys hockey team.

Kelly later got certified as a massage therapist and personal trainer. The couple met in 2005. Then for some crazy reason, they decided to get married and open their fitness business in the same month, September 2007.

“Don’t really recommend that as a business model,” Shanon joked.

It was just the two of them when they first opened their doors, wondering if anyone was going to check out the new fitness center in town.

Now, there’s more than 35 employees, and between 350 to 400 clients every week taking dozens of classes. Their fam-ily has grown as well. The couple now have two young children, ages 5 and 2. “My grown-up job now is Mom,” Kelly, 32, says with a laugh. “But I’m still inter-ested in training female athletes and encouraging girls in sports.”

Shanon and Kelly said they chose the name Experience Momentum for their business because it sums up their philosophy.

“Really, it’s all about providing a space to create breakthroughs in people’s lives,” Shanon said. “And here’s my secret. We try and trick people into pushing themselves.”

So if you show up at Experience Momentum with an appointment to have your sore back treated, or your diet tweaked, expect a question like: ‘What are your thoughts on trying a triathlon?’

“It’s something they had never thought of,” Shanon says of unsuspecting converts to the biking, swimming, and running challenge. “But now they are a triathlete. We try and introduce new possibilities and get people lit up about living life.”

The way millennials shop is changing the gro-cery business, says local grocer Mike Trask, and smaller independent stores will need to embrace new technologies to survive.

Owner of the Gran-ite Falls and Edmonds IGA stores, Trask, 61, was recently named chairman of the board of directors of the Washington Food Industry Association, a trade group representing the state’s independent grocers and suppliers. Trask took time out of his busy schedule to give his thoughts on problems the trade group faces.

“One of the biggest pressures right now is the online,” Trask said. “And so all of us are starting, I think, to form a five-year plan, a four-year plan, to make sure that we’re in the online business.”

That means offering loyalty cards with deals tailored to the customer and emailing ads and cou-pons, but also setting up websites and digital apps that allow customers to buy their groceries online.

His stores already offer grocery delivery in Edmonds, where a good share of the customer base is seniors. He’s planning to expand those services this year to his Granite Falls store, he said, and both stores offer the option to order online and pick up in-store.

“And that is really one of the things we think the millennials will want,” Trask said. “They can pick it up on their time frame

and not have to be home.“The millennials are

going to reshape our industry.”

He’s also breaking out a new shopper app this year that “will give it all to them on the phone,” Trask said, because that’s the way he thinks that’s the way mil-lennials are going to shop — with their smartphones.

Another big challenge for the independents is the line of succession, Trask said.

“I got this store on a handshake and a plan-on-a-paper napkin type of thing,” he said, referring to the Granite Falls store, which he bought in 1999 from brother Stan Trask and his business partner, Larry Fritz. (Hence the corporate name, Stanlar Inc., which Trask hasn’t bothered to change).

But gone are the days when a person’s reputa-tion was enough to secure

a bank loan, said Trask, who started out in the business bagging grocer-ies and worked his way up through the ranks to store director and district man-ager positions.

Even if the loans were there, the buyers are not. The situation poses a dilemma for some 65-and-older store owners, who’ve maybe lost their vision for the future and are just hanging on, he said.

“We’re all aging and we’re not getting the peo-ple underneath us that will take over our stores some-day,” he said.

The Washington Food Industry Association is aware of the problem, Trask said, and has put

a lot of time and effort into developing leader-ship courses and a schol-arship program to train a new generation of store owners.

Each year, members and board members of the Washington Food Indus-try Association travel to Olympia to meet with leg-islators and talk about pro-posed legislation and how it will affect the indepen-dent grocery industry. The need for transportation reform is a hot topic in the grocery world, Trask said. Delivery trucks spend far too much time stuck in traffic and that costs everyone money.

“From the wholesalers’ standpoint, transportation

is a lifeline to the stores,” he said, “and probably the biggest cost they have is trucks and fuel and drivers on the road.”

While the chain stores can fill a truck and deliver to many stores at a time, it’s different for the inde-pendents with only one or two stores. They’ve had to cut back from three or four deliveries a week to two deliveries to maxi-mize the trucks and reduce costs. If an order doesn’t show up in a delivery for whatever reason, store shelves sit empty.

Yet gas taxes collected to fix traffic problems in Washington are not being used wisely, Trask said. For example, it costs much less to build a bridge in other states than it does here.

Proposed legislation to adopt Seattle’s $15 min-imum wage statewide is another bone of con-tention. The association accepts that the minimum wage needs to be uniform throughout the state and raised “to somewhere north of $10,” Trask said, but “we don’t accept the fact that it has to be $15.”

Many of the indepen-dents already pay a $15 average wage or more, as well as medical benefits, he said, but a lower train-ing wage is a necessity. Grocers can’t afford to pay young people $15 an hour to bag groceries, he said, yet that’s how many people, from politicians to Microsoft executives, got their start.

At $15 an hour, courtesy clerks will become a thing of the past. Employees who check out groceries will also have to bag them, he said, and the level of

service will decline.“I really think this is

going to be a death sen-tence for kids getting jobs,” he said.

The ban some cities have imposed on plastic bags also needs to be made uniform throughout the state, Trask said.

Regarding the Haggen debacle — in which the Bellingham-based com-pany went from 18 stores to 164 after acquiring 146 in the Albertsons-Safe-way merger, and just a few months later filed for bankruptcy protection:

“There’s just no way, when they announced that, I could even have fathomed that they could pull that off,” Trask said. “In most of the industry, that was the biggest awe, that they were going to try to do that. Not that they were buying those stores, that they were going to try and pull it off.”

Haggen probably got some bad advice, didn’t realize store prices were raised and by how much and didn’t understand their markets.

“They’re just a great company, always have been,” Trask said. “Their forefathers were great independents.

“So it’s sad to see, but I believe that they’ll come out of this with some shape or form of some-thing that will be intact.”

Independent grocers are a unique lot, Trask said, by virtue of their indepen-dence if nothing else.

“That’s what make us good,” he said. “We’re all our own independent. We know what our commu-nity needs and we have our own visions.”

BUSINESS BUILDERSJANUARY 2016 THE HERALD BUSINESS JOURNAL 13

Smaller businesses generally have trouble making use of “big data” or the valuable analytics that come

with it. Data like that tends to be expen-sive and the analytics are often difficult to understand.

More importantly, the information contained in big data is not always scaled down and focused enough to address the competitive issues that today’s small businesses face. And, surprisingly, big data on the competition is rarely as timely as what a smaller business can develop on its own.

Most CEOs, managers, and owners of smaller businesses have some knowledge of the competition. The bulk of that knowledge, though, tends to be heavily weighted toward personal experience, and not accumulated in any organized fashion. In the end, it is rarely an integral part of the decision-making process in the business.

A critical factor in the success, even the survival, of today’s smaller businesses is knowledge of the competition.

To succeed in a competitive world, where large sellers often have an insur-mountable price advantage, smaller businesses need to know a lot more about what their competitors are doing. And an organized, consistent effort to collect and analyze information on the competition is the key to understanding how your

business can suc-cessfully compete and prosper.

Some of the information you will collect will be from individuals like your own sales staff, suppliers, and customers. Much of the information they provide will be anecdotal, fragmen-tary, disorganized, sometimes vague, and sometimes

even contradictory — not the stuff of data analytics.

Although it will take some work to extract its value, it is well worth the effort.

Fortunately, there is a useful lesson we can learn from the experience of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the early, most critical years of World War II.

The full force of Hitler’s Luftwaffe was attacking Britain with the goal of obliterating the RAF, the only remaining obstacle to the Nazi’s planned invasion of the British Isles.

The air war that ensued was a battle for air supremacy, and the RAF faced desperate odds. Short of fighter planes to defend its homeland, the need for accu-rate data on enemy and RAF plane losses

was intense. Before the days of trigger-activated

gunsight cameras, though, the debrief-ings of adrenaline-filled pilots contained a lot of inaccuracies.

The RAF found out that organizing the information collected into a cohesive whole could provide a level of accuracy greater than the initial reports themselves — in their case providing reasonably precise counts of enemy aircraft losses.

Businesses planning to use informa-tion from human beings should keep the RAF’s experience in mind.

Managers should expect the sources to produce a lot of information that needs to be validated, confirmed, and generally “cleaned up” before it is usable. Most of all, it will need to be organized.

A good place to start is by identifying your competition and starting a profile of each one.

Basic information such as business name, location, distance from your sales point (if appropriate), ownership, whether it is a franchise or otherwise connected to other firms, and iden-tification of the owners and manage-ment. Much of this information can be obtained from public records.

You should also identify the degree of competition. Are their services or product line identical to yours, or is there just some overlap? Are you both competing

for the same target market, or are there differences? For each competitor, is the competition based primarily on price, service, expertise, location or some other factor?

There is a lot of information about your competitors’ target markets and competitive strategy that can be derived from “reverse engineering” their adver-tisements, website pages and any banner or pop-up ads spotted.

Collecting information from salesmen, from suppliers, from customer comments that they volunteer to your staff, or from other human sources, you will have to separate and extract the useful informa-tion from the idle or malicious gossip.

This isn’t as difficult as it sounds, but it takes practice, critical thinking, and, most of all, organizing the information you receive.

As you progress with competitive information gathering, don’t be discour-aged by all of the blank spaces in compet-itor profiles.

You will be surprised by how simply realizing what you need to know — and don’t — will bring that information to the surface. This is a very competitive world. But you can still prosper in it.

E verett Community College and Trinity Lutheran College in downtown Everett both partner-

ing with private developers to build new student housing complexes is meaningful well beyond the effect a few hundred more students will have on coffee shops and fast food places.

With housing options in the mix, EvCC and Trinity can now get into the business of importing students from other communities.

Both have modest and make-do arrangements now. What they contem-plate building will be an upgrade and a helpful tool in recruitment, according to leaders in both institutions.

For Everett, it’s what these students do after they come that changes things and why the relationship of colleges and the communities where they are located is much bigger than the degrees themselves.

That’s because a certain percentage of students will stay. Viewed in one way, it’s like getting into the business of importing other communities’ best and brightest young people. Until now, Everett has been a net exporter of many of its top high school students seeking a four year degree.

This is significant. Students who live in student housing build a sticky relation-ship with the community where they live and study.

Some will settle into the community after graduation, create new businesses, serve on local boards and bring their

energy and talent to bear in constructive ways.

In fact, that is not just a by-product by part of the strategy around building more student housing. It is intentional.

EvCC vice president Pat Sisneros heads the housing movement there.

“We’re drawing international students now. Five years ago, we had 50 interna-tional students. Today, we have close to 400.

“The housing we’re pursuing through public-private partnerships, though, will allow us to house students from the region and from all around the world. It’s very exciting in terms of what it means for EvCC but it’s really exciting for the community to feel the benefits.”

Already, internship relationships and other benefits that link local businesses and institutions with EvCC’s students are growing.

The same discussions are going on

with local businesses at Trinity, according to its president, John Reed.

Over time, residential universities and colleges in any town can be key tools in economic activity.

New institutions such as an innovation center for business incubation and capital formation is possible as well.

It all starts with strong academic offer-ings and is strengthened by on-campus housing.

Like Bothell and its relationship with the University of Washington campus or Bellingham and its relationship with Western Washington University, Everett has always wanted the benefits that having strong four-year programs bring. With student housing about to quadruple in size, it very well may see them.

Why student housing is such a big deal

L ean practices, originated from the Toyota Production System in the late 1940s, accelerate time

to market and reduce costly waste. One of the more popular systems is Kanban (pronounced Khan-Bhan). You don’t need to be a large producer to benefit from Kanban principles.

The primary principles of Kanban are to better visualize and manage workflow, reduce inventories and work-in-progress, and improve team member communica-tions and collaborations. When Kanban principles and practices are employed, they typically improve productivity and profitability.

Essentially, Kanban is a continuous improvement lean system designed to control and improve scheduling, logistics, workflow and inventory management. It has many applications and can work for any business regardless of size or sector. The primary benefit of Kanban is that it creates an upper limit on “Work-In-Pro-cess” to avoid overloading a production system or project.

The most common Kanban tools are a cards and boards.

Kanban cards are used most widely for inventory management in what is termed as a “pull system” or Just-in-Time production.

When an inventory item is close to running out, the card cues the team that they need to “pull” more inventory (or parts) into the system or production line. Each card has information that guides the process, e.g. user or team identifier, part or activity number, an estimate of resources (time and money), location, etc.

This same process can be used to man-age simple systems such as cueing when to order more office supplies. Kanban Boards also use cards. You can use a phys-ical or virtual Kanban board.

A physical Kanban board can be as simple as a white board with columns drawn on and using sticky notes. The columns represent the status or stage of each activity, and cards represent indi-vidual activities. A basic board has three columns: 1) to-do, 2) in process and 3)

done. Each column has a pre-established maximum capacity; once the capacity is maxed out, an activ-ity cannot advance to that stage until there is an opening.

Working with a Kanban board will visually demonstrate to the team where the logjams are, and the team would then modify their workflow according.

Using a Kanban board forces the team to improve communications, collaboration and workflow.

While using a Kanban board can slow things down initially, it will eventually — and significantly — improve efficiencies and workflow, and reduce waste, which will lead to gains in both productivity and profit.

You can use a virtual Kanban board on

your desktop (for an individual board) or server (for a team board). It uses the same practices and layout as a physical board, and works well for teams that are not at the same location, or need to integrate with other teams. There are many software applications; you can also build a virtual Kanban board in an Excel spreadsheet.

It doesn’t matter whether you choose a physical or virtual board. To leverage Kanban at your organization, bring your team together and identify an existing process you want to improve. Start with a basic Kanban board and conduct a pilot program.

Once your team becomes comfort-able with using a Kanban board, you can adopt the same practice in other operations.

Do so and you will enjoy improve-ments in both productivity and profit.

DON’T LET A PAST DUI

STOP YOUR BUSINESS TRAVEL TO CANADA!


BUSINESS BUILDERS

W ith the start of a new year, setting personal and business goals is probably on most of

our minds. A new year brings a fresh start with

the promise of accomplishing what we didn’t achieve in the past year or perhaps

it brings new goals altogether. What can you do to set and tackle those new goals so you see them come to fruition?

First, make sure you pat yourself on the back for any goals you reached or strides that you made to reach your goals in the past year. Don’t gloss over even the smallest accom-

plishments, give yourself a boost by being positive and acknowledging your achievements.

Review your year to decide if you have any goals you’d like to carry over into the upcoming year. Or, do you want to start fresh with all new goals? Maybe last year’s goals no longer fit your needs or desires — you get to choose.

Next, get out the drawing board, whether it’s your computer or a pad of paper and a pen and start writing.

Writing your goals is a solid way to be clear about what you want instead of having random thoughts floating around in your head.

When you write down your goals, don’t make a big list, keep it to one or two goals, three goals max. If you try to make too many changes at one time, it’s more likely that you’ll be overwhelmed and won’t reach your goals at all. Keep it manageable.

The next part of the process will help you think out the steps that are needed to reach your goals. Do this with each goal:

■ Write down a very specific goal, not a general goal.

■ Set a date when you would like to reach your goal.

■ Write down the steps that will be needed to reach the end goal.

If you have a very large goal, you may need to break the big goal into mini goals so you are reaching milestones along the way to achieving the big goal. Here are two examples of what not to do:

■ Thinking about how nice it would be to lose 30 pounds, but not writing anything down.

■ Writing down, “I’d like to lose 30 pounds,” but not writing down a goal

date or the steps needed to lose thirty pounds.

Extra considerations to think about when it comes to goal setting and being successful:

■ You should write down any obstacles that may prevent you from reaching your goals. If you can picture what the obsta-cles may be now, you can brainstorm some solutions to deal with the obstacles when then ineviteably come up.

■ You should write down the positive outcomes you expect from reaching your goals. Isn’t it nice to think about how great it will be when you reach your goals?

Here’s an example of how to plan out a goal to improve your chances of success in meeting them.

■ Jan. 1, 2016 Goal (specific): Lose 30 pounds.

■ Date to achieve goal (reasonable): June 1, 2016.

■ Small steps to reach goal: —Pack a healthy lunch for work each

day;— Drink eight glasses of water each

day;— Purchase good walking shoes;— Walk or run 10,000 steps each day;— Place athletic shoes next to the door

as a reminder to go walking;— Get on the scale every Wednesday

morning to track weight loss progress;— Reduce sugar intake;— Reduce alcohol intake;— Stop snacking after 7 p.m.■ Obstacles and solutions: — Use elliptical inside if it’s too cold to

walk outside to reach 10,000 steps;— Flavor water if drinking water is too

plain;—Hike with a friend if walking alone

gets boring;— Use a calorie counting app if it’s

too difficult to track calories with calorie counting book.

■ Benefits of reaching goal:— More energy;— Sleep better;— Clothes will fit better;— Feel better;— Look better;As you can see, it’s a lot more work to

really think about your goals and strat-egize how you’ll meet them instead of letting them bounce around in your head. If you want to see results, you have to take the time to plan and then implement your plans. When you start knocking out those goals, you’ll be glad you did.

Bernie Garcia, Moctezuma’s World travelerPhotographerFiery foodie

Each and every one of us is an original. Shaped by unique in uences that make us who we are today. Here at Heritage Bank, we think differences can build a better bank, too. That’s why we share the best ideas from across all of our branches and local communities with one goal in mind: to serve our customers better every day. By sharing our strengths, we’re able to offer customers like Bernie Garcia—and you—more than a community bank. But rather, a community oƒ banks.

WHAT’S YOUR HERITAGE?
