An early morning, two-alarm fire in downtown Renton destroyed a building containing three busi-nesses on July 23. As of press time Wednesday, July 29, the fire was still under investigation.

No one was injured as fire swept through the building at Main Avenue South and Bronson Way. According to firefighters, the blaze began at 4:45 a.m. July 23 and burned through the building which

contains the Afghan Cuisine restaurant, Thai Gold Triangle restaurant and Program SER. Another busi-ness, Pacific Glass, to the north of the building was also exposed to some flames, smoke and water dam-age, but was ultimately saved by the fire crew.

Approximately 75 firefighters helped put out the blaze. Additional fire crews came from Tukwila, Kent, Maple Valley and Skyway.

Firefighters were still on scene more than six hours after the fire started and investigators were there most of the day, attempting to determine the cause of the blaze.

City wants to take control of SR900BY BRIAN BECKLEY

[email protected]

Hoping to draw fewer com-muters and more destination traffic downtown, the city is in the process of taking control of Second and Third Avenues South back from the state Department of Transportation.

Currently, the two downtown streets compromise part of state Route 900, which connects Inter-state 5 on the west with Interstate 90 in Issaquah. Because of that, decisions about the streets are made by state officials, not those in the city. And as two key com-ponents of the city’s downtown core traffic network, Renton is looking to take back that control in an attempt to make the city more walkable.

“Right now, we don’t view (the downtown) as particularly pedestrian-friendly,” Renton Pub-lic Works Administrator Gregg Zimmerman said. “Traffic’s going too fast and there’s too much of it and most of it is not destination

The City of Renton’s under-ground aquifer that provides the city’s drinking water is holding steady, as other water utilities ramp up their conservation mes-sage in the face of drought-like conditions.

This year, water providers whose surface supplies liter-ally rise and fall on the rains and snowmelt in the Cascades are keeping a close eye on their res-ervoirs and the weather forecast, but things are a little different in Renton.

Seattle Public Utilities, Cascade Water Alliance and other regional utilities this week declared a re-gional water advisory, warning of potential water shortages because

N Marrow donor drives planned for Renee Padgett

BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Three years after she was diagnosed with mul-tiple myeloma, state trooper Renee Padgett of Renton has a one-in-a-million chance of beating the rare cancer of the blood.

That’s the odds of finding a matching stem-cell donor whose own stem cells will kill and then replace and rebuild Padgett’s bone marrow. Before that, she must undergo a transplant using her own stem sells and that will only happen if a donor is found first.

It’s her last option, following years of radiation treatments and chemotherapy and a stem-cell transplant in 2013 using her stem cells. A return of the cancer is common 24 to 36 months after such a procedure.

Tests in January confirmed her cancer had returned and was more aggressive than before. Her kidneys cannot withstand continuing che-motherapy.

“Time is of the essence,” Padgett said.That is why on Friday, Aug. 7, in Olympia and

again on Tuesday, Aug. 11, in Bellevue, friends and supporters will host drives to register people for the national bone-marrow registry in an ef-fort to help Padgett find a donor but also to help everyone else in need of a life-saving, stem-cell transplant.

The event in Olympia also will include a blood drive for Bloodworks Northwest (formerly the Puget Sound Blood Center), which is in continu-ous need of blood and blood products. Padgett has required numerous blood tranfusions.

Padgett is a 24-year veteran of the Washington State Patrol, inspecting wrecking yards as part of her duties in the patrol’s Commercial Vehicle Division.

Through her efforts, an innovative program called Homeward Bound was started in 2005, designed to help locate and bring home some of the approximately 23,000 children who are reported missing in the state each year.

Homeward Bound – she calls it her “baby” – continues in partnership with Gordon Trucking of Pacific.

The cancer was discovered in May 2012 when

doctors found a tumor on her spine that had caused four discs to collapse on top of each other. Such bone compression is one of the symptoms of the cancer.

Surgery corrected her spine and stopped the pain but she continued to fight the cancer.

Padgett lives in Renton with her two children, Gedeon, 13, who’s going to be in the seventh grade at McKnight Middle School, and Olivia, 9, a fourth grader at Honeydew Elementary School.

Two years ago, Padgett returned to work part-time with the state patrol, her cancer in remission after a transplant using her own stem cells. During that time, she organized a school bus-safety campaign with the Maple Valley Police Department, the King County Sheriff ’s Office and the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

She was two weeks away from returning to duty full-time when the tests showed the cancer had returned.

Renton trooper’s cancer returns and needs a matching stem-cell donor to continue treatment

GET INVOLVED

Here are ways to help Renee Padgett and others who need a life-saving, bone-marrow transplant.

• Friday, Aug. 7, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., Olympia. Blood Donation and Bone Marrow Registration Drive, General Administration Building auditorium, 210 11th Ave. S.W., Olympia, on the Capitol campus.

Downtown parks going smoke-free

Beginning Aug. 16 smoking is banned in parks and facilities in downtown Renton, including Piaz-za Park, Gateway Park, the former Big 5 lot, and the north side of the Renton Pavilion Event Center.

Renton City Council revised the parks rules and adopted an ordinance July 13 to make it illegal

to smoke in parks and facilities close to the Renton Transit Center. Smoking has been banned by King County Metro in the Transit Center and as a result the city has seen an increase in smoking and a litter-ing of cigarette butts around the adjacent parks and facilities.

“The smoking ban is part of our commitment to clean up and revi-talize downtown Renton, and create a welcoming place that encourages

development and investment in our city,” Mayor Denis Law said in a press release.

It is a civil infraction to violate this ordinance and the penalty is a $250 fine. Renton police will initially issue warnings to inform and educate the public about the smoke-free policy.

Signs have been posted in each of the locations downtown notifying the public of the ban. Visitors who

refuse to comply will be cited and may be asked to leave and ultimate-ly face the possibility of expulsion. While it will not be considered a criminal offense, Renton police of-ficers will be enforcing these rules.

Smoking is defined by Wash-ington state law as the carrying or smoking of any kind of lighted pipe, cigar, cigarette, or any other lighted smoking equipment, in-cluding marijuana.

Sleep Country Renton is hosting a school supply

drive for foster kids now through Sept. 6 at its

retail store at 1205 N. 10th St., Ste. 103C, Renton.

New backpacks, three-ring binders, pens, pencils, flash drives, multi-subject

notebooks and loose leaf paper are needed.

These days it seems you’re more likely to “Friend Request” a neighbor online than visit them with baked goods.

One San Francisco company understands that and is linking neighbors online to foster community. The service is called Nextdoor and residents in the Renton Highlands have signed up.

Nextdoor is a free and private social network for neighbors to connect and communicate. Neighbors can use the website platform to find babysitters, plumbers and dentists that their neighbors recommend. Neighbors can also report suspicious activity and crime, organize events, find lost pets and missing packages or sell and giveaway items.

The company reports that there are 50 neighborhoods in Renton that have launched Nextdoor websites.

Melissa Quade lives in the Maywood West neighbor-hood of Renton and heard about Nextdoor from a neigh-bor on Facebook.

“As a resident I appreciate the connection to the neighbors from a safety perspective, and also from a community perspective,” Quade said. “It helps me feel more connected to the people around me, even if I’ve

never met them in real life. I feel like we are all looking out for each other, and I know how to reach people if I need to inform my community about something important.”

Quade is also a real estate broker and said that the website is the kind of added bonus to any community in “our general ‘Seattle Freeze’ culture where many people can’t even say they know their next-door neighbors.”

Nextdoor works by each neighbor-hood creating a private Nextdoor website that is accessible only to the residents of that neighborhood. Neigh-bors verify their addresses and join their neighborhood website. Then they can choose to see and respond to updates via email or only on the website or mobile apps.

Conversations on Nextdoor range from 16 percent crime and safety, 19 percent classifieds, 26 percent recommendations, 7 percent events, 8 percent lost and found, 8 percent free items and 16 percent other.

Douglas Rector is a member of his Maplewood Heights Nextdoor website and called the website an even farther reaching “Block Watch.”

“It’s interesting to see if there are car break-ins or if there is a black bear roaming through the neighbor-hood,” he said.

And there was a black bear sighting someone posted about a week ago. Rector, who works as a private inves-tigator, said he’s seen posts about suspicious cars, stolen packages and strange door-to-door visitors. There’s just one thing he doesn’t like about it.

“The only thing I don’t like about it is people need to know how to use it,” he said.

He feels people need to be mindful about posting full addresses of homes on the website even though its supposed to be among neighbors. He would never post that he’s going to be gone on vacation for two weeks for example, he said.

“You can still live in the neighborhood and have a criminal mind,” Rector said.

When asked how the company prevents Internet “trolls” from interfering on their websites, Danielle Styskal, Nextdoor communications associate, had this to say via email:

“Our guidelines help ensure that members hold them-selves and their neighbors to appropriate neighborly behavior – for example, members are expected to refrain from using profanity or posting messages that will be perceived as discriminatory or racist in any way.”

The individual who starts a Nextdoor website for their community is designated as a Founding Member and is automatically given Lead status once their neighborhood launches with 10 verified members. According to Styskal, Leads cannot block access to anyone and members can “elevate content” to Leads that appears to violate “Next-door Guidelines for Neighborly Behavior.”

Leads do have the ability to adjust neighborhood boundaries, remove inappropriate messages and appoint other members as Leads.

“To date, only a quarter of one percent of all the messages ever shared on Nextdoor have been flagged as abusive,” said Styskal.

“You just got to be careful about what you’re posting, it is a good tool,” said Rector.

He tried to organize a neighborhood potluck at Maple-wood Park using the website, but got no response from his neighbors. Because he only knows his neighbors on either side of him and across the street, Rector thought the potluck would be a good idea.

“They don’t want to meet face to face it seems like; it’s kinda sad,” he said. Rector added, “You don’t go to people’s houses, you just stay online and watch stuff.”

The online business review site SiteJabber.com rates Nextdoor at 12 percent for the amount of four and five star reviews it has received of 107 total reviews.

More than 1,500 neighborhoods in the greater Seattle area have launched Nextdoor websites and more than 64,000 neighborhoods across the country have also launched the websites.

William O. BelmondoWilliam O. Belmondo was born on

March 28th, 1925, in Renton, WA. He passed away peacefully on July 18th at the grand age of 90. Bill lived all his life in Renton, graduating from Renton High School in 1943, where he excelled at basketball, football, track and fast-pitch softball.

As a member of the Greatest Generation, he entered the Navy out of high school and served his country in World War II as a radar man on the USS White Plains in the Paci� c theatre and then as a plank owner aboard the USS Midway. After the war, Bill attended Washington State College (University) where he was a member of the Phi Kappa Tau fraternity. While in college he met Janet, his wonderful wife and life partner of 63 years. They were married June 22, 1952.

After graduating from Washington State, Bill began a 35 year career of public service in the Renton School District, � rst as a teacher and coach, and eventually serving in numerous district central o� ce administrator positions.

Bill enjoyed winemaking, gardening, long walks in the woods in search of mushrooms, camping and pheasant hunting with family and friends. He was a skillful and avid golfer who had three holes-in-one over his career. He played golf “with the boys” several times a week in retirement and into the last year of his life. He shared a special friendship with many over a cup of co� ee during the week, starting the days o� with encouragement and laughter. He and Janet were very fortunate to have a close circle of friends with whom they had many “Italian” dinner parties and card games over the years. He was a long time member of the Renton Lions Club supporting many activities in the Renton area.

Bill placed family � rst and was a wonderful example of caring love with a joyous sense of humor. He was a captivating storyteller. He touched the lives of many, many people through his kind heart and thoughtfulness, living up to his last name, which in Italian means “Beautiful World.”

He was a loving father and husband, papa and great-papa. He is survived by his wife, Janet, and children Je� , Craig, Janet and Brad, 10 grandchildren, 9 great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents John and Rose and siblings Mario, Erma and Johnny.

Bill’s family extends a most heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses and sta� s at Virginia Mason Hospital and Garden Terrace in Federal Way for their extraordinary care and support.

traffic, but through traffic.“That’s always working against the effort to make it pe-

destrian friendly and a destination spot,” he said.Because of that, Zimmerman said traffic calming is a

big piece of the administration’s plans downtown, as is an attempt to make sure the cars downtown are there for the downtown, instead if using it as a cut-through.

But that is not the state’s purpose on what is essentially their highway. The state, Zimmerman said, is invested in moving cars through that route, not getting them to stop downtown and shop.

“So we have conflicting agendas,” Zimmerman said.One of the possibilities to slow things is to change the

one-way streets to two-ways, as traffic tends to move slower on two-way streets, but the problem is that the city does not have control over those roads.

Because of that, Renton is looking into what is called a “turnback agreement” with WSDOT that would re-route

SR900 around downtown and give control over Second and Third back to the city, which could then change the roadway’s status.

“This is one possible option we can use,” Mayor Denis Law said.

Law called the possibility of a turnback a “win-win for us” and said the use of downtown as a “commuter bypass” has been an issue for decades.

“They’re just passing and they’re going so fast they’re not paying attention to what’s there,” said Renton Chamber of Commerce CEO Vicky Baxter, adding that she is “thrilled at the prospect” of Third Avenue coming back under city control.

Baxter said slower destination traffic could help create the right atmosphere downtown to draw more shoppers and diners.

While it would mean more control over the roadways, it would also mean that the cost of maintenance and repairs of those roads would revert to the city, instead of staying with the state.

According to Zimmerman, WSDOT is “very interested” in the arrangement and a final decision on the issue could come by November with an effective date of early next year.

“This segment of 900 … operates more as a city street as part of the city grid,” said WSDOT King Area Traffic Engi-neer Rob Brown, calling the turnback “mutually beneficial.”

Zimmerman said if the agreement currently under consideration is approved, the new SR900 would come into Renton from the west at the same spot, but make a right turn and head south down Rainier Avenue South, also known as state Route 167, make its way to I-405 and then resume on surface streets at Exit 5, heading up the hill and out to Issaquah on Sunset, as it does today.

All of the surface streets that currently compromise the path of SR900 would revert to the city.

In addition, WSDOT wants to also turn over to the city the portion of SR515 – which comes down Benson and then Talbot into Renton – that runs north of I-405 and through city streets.

If that arrangement is approved, the city would become responsible for all of the maintenance of those streets, with

the exception of the Bronson Bridge over the Cedar River, which WSDOT would continue to maintain.

“We’re taking on some expense, we know that,” Zimmer-man said.

However, Zimmerman said part of the discussions with the state are in regard to $2 million in maintenance planned for the roads in the next few years. Under current negotiations, that money designated for Renton would still come this way, even if the roads are turned back over to the city.

Sound Transit got all it asked for and more than it wanted from state lawmakers this year.

It’s leaders sought and obtained permis-sion to put their next phase of expansion known as ST3 and the buffet of taxes to pay for it in front of voters.

This is the $15 billion undertaking Sound Transit says will enable it to make good on its promise to provide light-rail service to Everett and Tacoma.

Voters in Snohomish, King and Pierce counties could decide as early as November 2016 whether to fund this added service through a combination of higher taxes on property, retail sales and motor vehicles.

But if it’s approved, Sound Transit will be putting millions of those new tax dollars into building affordable housing and funding schools in those counties before any light rail trains reach Lynnwood let alone Everett.

That’s what state lawmakers demanded of Sound Transit in ex-change for fulfilling the regional transit author-ity’s request.

If that sounds like a negotiation, it re-ally wasn’t. Lawmakers didn’t consider any counter-offers. It was

take-it-or-leave-it so Sound Transit took it.Now, here’s what must happen if voters ap-

prove the ST3 plan and taxing authority:Sound Transit must put $20 million into

a revolving loan fund to finance affordable housing projects. Sound Transit, which will administer the fund and cut the loan checks, must ante up $4 million a year for five con-secutive years. It must start depositing that money within three years of voter approval.

Sound Transit must plug a $518 million hole in the state’s general fund with pay-ments starting in 2017 and lasting through at least 2031.

Those dollars will go into a new Puget Sound taxpayer accountability account. They will be doled out to Snohomish, King and Pierce counties to distribute “for educational services to improve educational outcomes” in early learning, elementary and secondary schools, and colleges.

Counties, which aren’t in the education business, must figure out where to send the money. Right now there are no rules on where the money will go so it could go to public, private or parochial schools or col-leges. The only condition is the “educational services” occur within the Sound Transit boundaries.

The two directives emerged in the heat of negotiations among lawmakers on a state-wide transportation package and resolved a seemingly irreclaimable dispute on what to do with sales tax the state pays on road projects.

That money now goes into the general fund to pay for schools, among other things. The House Democrats wanted to keep it going there but Senate Republicans sought to divert it to transportation projects.

ST3 comes with money for schools, affordable housing

New library not off to good start with a dull interior

The very darkest gray is the color of the Renton Library’s interior!

It’s like a tomb, except for a few shots of bright color, and white book stacks attempting to break up the darkness. The space is oppressive. Is this appropriate for a library?

The open ceiling has complex structures painted dark gray, supposedly a modern idea. There are the ends of nails poking down from the roof and there are patches of wood visible. The rest of the space is equally cheap and tacky.

How will KCLS keep these structures free of dust, which are potential allergens for those with asthma? Will the color adversely affect some of the thousands of library visitors?

The exterior consists of gray, metal panels, structural metal beams and glass. This building is more appropriate for an industrial estate, not a park. Where are the natural elements?

New does not mean acceptable. This shocking new building demonstrates little or no regard for the location in a park over a river and for its function as a library, which should be warm and welcoming.

We deserve better. Considering the history, realistically what should we have other than low expectations?

Our library had so much light and glass on three sides. We had 22,000 square feet, now we have 19,000.

This building is a final poke in the eye by the City of Renton Administration who never advocated for its residents and wanted to wash its hands of managing the library, and by KCLS who wanted a small, cheap-to-run library kiosk in town (and our $5 million a year in taxes). This might be water under the bridge, but it’s business as usual at City Hall. Vote carefully.

The only blessing is that we still have our beloved building over the river, even though it has suffered terrible abuse in the hand of the ar-chitects, Miller Hull, guided by KCLS. I am sure they will put forward many reasons for this de-sign and they will all be feeble. A well-thought-out color scheme and choice of materials, does not take a rocket scientist to create.

McIrvin’s deep love for city will make a good steward

I’m writing the Renton Reporter in order to voice my endorsement for Ryan McIrvin for Renton City Council (Position 4).

As a life-long Renton resident, I am happy to have first met Mr. McIrvin at a mutual volunteer effort for the City of Renton at the request of the mayor. I have an inbuilt love for my city and the people of this city. Ryan exhibits the insights and knowledge I expect of someone to represent me.

The majority parties in the two chambers found a compromise — Sound Transit.

As part of the transportation package Gov. Jay Inslee signed into law earlier this month, the state will begin diverting sales tax paid on new road projects in 2019. This will siphon an estimated $518 million from the general fund through 2013.

Sound Transit must backfill those dollars. To do that, Sound Transit will now start paying sales tax on labor costs associated with its expansion proj-ects. That will make those projects a little more

expensive but it’s the political price the agency leaders felt they had to pay.

“We didn’t ask for that,” said Paul Roberts who is the vice chairman of the Sound Transit board of directors. “It was the cost of doing business. This gives us the chance to build the system voters approved and expect.”

I truly believe it takes a very deep love and “feel” for a city in order to be good steward to the community. Ryan has ideas and passion to keep Renton affordable for our citizens, safe with an understanding of the type of fire and police services we ex-pect and to extend the growth that Renton has seen over the decades.

Return control of Valley Medical to commissioners

Savannah Clifford-Visker raises some valid points in her voters pamphlet regard-ing her candidacy for Valley Medical Center Commissioner. She has a good understanding of the current situation and hopefully could work toward making some worthwhile changes if elected.

One wonders if the alliance with UW Med would have been approved if put to the hospital district voters. The effort to ex-pand Maple Valley into the hospital district was definitely disapproved by voters several years ago, so apparently the commissioners did not want to risk the district taxpayers’ disapproval with the UW Alliance.

The Board of Trustees has too much control of Valley Medical Center. It’s time to return control to the Board of Commis-sioners.

McIrvin has experience working with City Hall

I just wanted to take a moment to tell you about my fellow colleague Ryan McIrvin. Ryan is asking for our vote to serve us on the Renton City Council and simply put, he is the best choice for the job. Ryan has the right qualifications to lead us and the most experience working with city government.

Over the past year, I have had the chance to get to know Ryan as we both volunteer on the City of Renton’s Human Services Advisory Committee. Ryan serves as the vice chair of the committee and leads us as we work to best allocate funding to pro-grams that provide essential services to our city’s most vulnerable citizens.

Ryan has done an exemplary job listen-ing to all sides of issues and working to find common ground for solutions that every-one can be proud of. I am very pleased with all the work we have accomplished under his leadership.

Ryan has a deep understanding of public process and will be an effective leader on the Renton City Council from day one. I ask that you to join me in voting for Ryan McIrvin in the Aug. 4 primary election.

Renton has a new beau-tification and anti-graffiti project for downtown util-ity boxes and it comes by way of Renton High School 2015 graduate Jason Vo.

Vo’s artwork was selected from 13 designs submit-ted by students in his high school’s video production and visual communications program for a new “wrap-ping” process for public utility boxes. The project is funded by the Renton Community Marketing Campaign.

“I designed my wrap like this because I wanted to make it colorful in order to represent the diverse com-munity that I am enveloped by at Renton High School,” said Vo in a press release. “The basic colors red, blue, and green: these represent a few of the multitude of

races that I am surrounded by.”

The colors also represent Renton’s three comprehen-sive high schools, he said.

The title of Vo’s artwork is “Chroma.”

The Renton Community Marketing Campaign has funding for one more utility box to receive this treat-ment. The next box will

likely be in the downtown corridor too. Organizers are looking for sponsors to fund two additional utility boxes, hopefully in the next two months.

Those interested in sponsoring a utility box can contact John Collum, City of Renton Community De-velopment Project Manager, at 425-430-6589.

Utility boxes wrapped in color of historic low river levels and encourag-ing the wise use of water.

The Cascade Water Alliance, which gets its drinking water from Seattle, serves the Skyway Water and Sewer District, Tukwila and four Eastside cities, including Bellevue and Issaquah.

Renton’s aquifer, however, is mostly immune to the immediate effects of dry weather because it’s recharged (or refilled) from sources miles way, mak-ing its groundwater supply more stable than a reservoir system, according to Lys Hornsby, Renton’s Utilities Systems director.

Any drop in the aquifer’s level because of dry summer weather doesn’t show up for four to six months, in time for fall rains to replenish it, Hornsby said.

Still, the City of Renton will send out its message of water conservation in utility bills and on Facebook to residents and businesses, as part of a regional conservation plan.

“We always urge people to use their water wisely,” Hornsby said. “We don’t want to overtax the aquifer, no matter what.”

Renton also aggressively protects its aquifer from contaminants.

Renton has managed to maintain constant water usage, despite an increase in population, because of conservation efforts, she said.

While Renton supplies most of its water from its aquifer, it relies on water from Seattle during periods of peak summer use or when it must “take down a reservoir,” she said, adding the latter is not going to happen during a drought.

So, potentially, a Seattle water shortage could affect Renton, she said.

Seattle describes the initial activation of response plans as precautionary and has joined with Everett and Tacoma to make sure the region is ready for a potential water shortage.

Hornsby said Seattle Public Utilities is still saying Seattle expects to have an adequate water supply until fall rains return to meet its needs and the needs of its suburban customers.

Seattle offers the following suggestion to carefully manage water and make sure it’s not wasted:

• Water before 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m., which reduces evaporation.

• It is better to have one or two deep waterings, rather than several shallow waterings.

• Fix obvious indoor and outdoor leaks such as faucets and hose bibs. Check for less obvious leaks such as silent toilet leaks and underground ir-rigation leaks.

• For silent toilet leaks, put several drops of food coloring in your toilet tank; after 10 minutes if you have color in the toilet bowl, you have a flapper leak.

• Wash vehicles at locations that recycle water.

• Use a broom rather than a hose to clean sidewalks, driveways, and patios.

• Wait until your clothes washer and dishwasher are full before starting a load.

MISSING FIREWORKS?

fire was difficult to put out.“The fire was difficult to extinguish because of the

construction of the roof,” said Wallgren on July 23. “It’s an older building and there’s many layers of roofing in this building. So we’ve been able to extinguish the fire to this point. We’re still working on some hot spots and starting our investigation.”

Aliahmad and Toby Ibrahimi, the father and son own-ers of Afghan Cuisine, were at the scene since early that morning, after they were alerted about the blaze. Son Toby said he was so shocked when he arrived and saw what was happening.

“I don’t know; like three years of my life just flashed right there, you know,” he said. “I worked so hard with my dad. I just finished college; I was looking to take over.”

It’s doubly upsetting for the family because business has been “super busy” as of late, according to Toby Ibrahimi.

“So we’ve been doing really well after all this time; I don’t know what’s going to happen,” he said.

Despite their loss, he was fairly confident they would re-build and keep the restaurant in Renton. Toby Ibrahimi has no idea what could have happened to the building saying, “it could be a hate crime; it could be an accident; it could be whatever…”

“We love Renton,” he said. “We love the community, the people. They support us. We want to stay here and stay with these guys.”

Lai Saelee, owner of Thai Gold Triangle Restaurant, felt bad for all of the business owners affected by the fire.

“Right now I couldn’t go inside, but it looks like every-thing’s gone,” she said.

Saelee learned of the fire while getting ready for work.“Oh I feel terribly bad, plus the owner of the building

and Afghan (Cuisine)…” she said.She doesn’t know if she will start her restaurant again

and where. She was renting at that location.

The following information was compiled from Renton Police Department case reports.BY DEAN A. RADFORD

[email protected]

Renton Police officers descended on the Musicians Hall downtown early Sunday morning after numerous reports of gun-fire around the hall.

There were no reports of injuries, but a Seattle man later reported damage to his silver Nissan Maxima from a shooting in Renton to sheriff ’s deputies in Skyway.

He wouldn’t speak to a Renton Police officer.

Officers arrived at about 1:30 a.m. Saturday to the hall at 126 Logan Ave. S. An officer standing at the intersection of South Third Street and Burnett Place South heard four shots fired on the Logan

Avenue side of the hall. People were calmly walking toward their vehicles.

Witnesses reported seeing a silver se-dan fleeing after the gunfire stopped. No one saw the shooter nor any damage from the gunfire.

No shell casings were found.An intact round, possibly from a .9

mm or .380 caliber gun, was found in the middle of Logan Avenue.

Officers cleared the hall. No one would talk with officers.

The night before at about 2 a.m. an of-ficer was sent to the same area for reports of gunfire. Earlier there were hundreds of teens at a dance party. Security officers, who weren’t in uniform, used portable metal detectors to check patrons as they entered.

STIFF-ARMED GRAB FOR SMOKES: A shopper insisted he needed to come behind the counter at a gas station on 108th Avenue Southeast July 6 to talk to the manager, who repeatedly asked him to stay back.

As another man watched at the door, the suspect stiff-armed the manager and grabbed four packs of Camel cigarettes. He already had a can of Dr. Pepper soda in hand. They then fled, possibly in a dark Ford Mustang.

Pictures were captured by store security system of the suspect, who could face charges of second-degree robbery and third-degree theft.

GRANDMOM GETS VIOLENT: An argument over a baby bottle July 8 landed

a 43-year-old Renton woman in jail.

The woman had argued with her 24-year-old son, because the son’s brother – and not him – had to make a bottle of baby formula for his baby, who was crying. The baby’s father was playing a video game.

Blows were exchanged between mother and son, although no injuries were visible. The mother was booked into the SCORE regional jail for investigation of fourth-degree assault.
