Advertising with Issaquah Press Inc. Media Group
East of Seattle Media formerly Issaquah Press Group serves markets along the I-90 corridor, from I-405
to the Cascade Mountains. Total circulation of three weekly papers is over 41,000 households. The
monthly edition of Newcastle News brings the circulation to nearly 47,000 households the first week
of each month. Community newspapers include flagship paper The Issaquah Press, the Sammamish
Review and the SnoValley Star.

Reach potential customers in an underserved market
Customers aren’t limited by city boundaries. They work, reside and play
in a variety of locations, and plenty of business is conducted away from
customer hometowns. Several neighborhoods in our distribution area
are newly developed communities that offer limited choices for products
and services. This benefits the few existing local businesses and is a great
opportunity for businesses in adjacent communities where many residents
work.

Digital choices & special publications reach niche markets
Whether your goal is to reach car buyers, homeowners or health-conscious
consumers, Issaquah Press Inc. Media Group can help. We offer a range of
cutting-edge digital products and a variety of special publications to help
you reach your target audience.

Maximize your reach and stretch your advertising dollar
We realize there are many advertising options available these days, so we
go to great lengths to keep pricing competitive. We also offer a variety
of packages and contracts to help you get the most coverage at the best
price.

Readership
One of the benefits of household delivery is
multiple readers. Often more than one person
in the household reads the newspaper. In fact,
research has shown that for each newspaper
printed, at least two people read it – often
more.
The Issaquah Press Inc. Media Group hired
independent consultants to estimate the actual
readership of its newspapers and the results
are very positive.

Expanding Billboard

Wallpaper

Configured to drop down from the top center of the page, this ad
unit resembles a traditional freeway billboard. A teaser remains at
the top of the page when in the collapsed position.

Takes over the background layer of the web page on the left and
right of the page content. Great choice for branding impact.

Sticky Note

Homepage Takeover

This ad can be positioned to drop in the upper right or upper left
hand corner of the page. Floats on top of all other page content.

A dominating combination of the wallpaper plus all four standard
digital ad spots on the home page: the banner, two rectangles
and the skyscraper.

Stabilization of Talus landslide continues

City will not let
construction resume
By Tom Corrigan

A suspect collects cash during a
holdup Dec. 1 at the Bank of America
branch on Front Street North.

“It’s still creeping along a
little bit,” said Keith Niven, city
economic development director,
before a meeting of the Talus
Homeowners Association held
in the Issaquah City Hall Eagles
Room on Dec. 10.
Niven was referring to the
landslide that happened on the
border of the existing Talus residential development. That slide
took place Nov. 13 near the intersection of Northwest Talus Drive
and Shangri-La Way Northwest.
And while the earth is still moving, that movement is so slight
it is considered negligible, said
consultants brought in by the city
and the developer of the site.

es on the hillside and wants to
discuss when construction might
resume, Niven said. But he
added that the city simply is not
ready to have that conversation.
Niven also said discussions
eventually need to be had

regarding what caused the landslide. He said questions on the
cause of the landslide touch directly on who is responsible and
who is liable for the cleanup,
which Niven estimated has cost
about $1 million so far.

Niven said that from the city’s
standpoint, conversations about
cause and blame only would
detract from the needed mitigation efforts. He did not expect
construction on the hillside to
resume anytime soon.
The city issued a partial ceasework order to the developer immediately following the landslide.
The order was only a partial
order as crews need to be able to
work on mitigation and monitoring efforts, Niven said.
One of two geotechnical consultants hired by the city, James
Johnson of Golder Associates,
said investigators still have
no clear idea of what caused
the landslide. He did say the
city and developer conducted
geotechnical studies of the site,
just as was done throughout
the Talus development. He said
the hillside showed no unusual
susceptibility to landslides.

are supposed to be able to raise
the gate with a remote device
from inside their vehicles. If that
doesn’t work, crews have a key
that allows them to open the

that error has been corrected.
He added the city also is adding a battery back up to the gate,

Pfaffe called 911 and was on

turned around and was backtracking. They ended up using
Sahalee Way and what should

A bundled-up robbery suspect
who struck two banks in three
days is being sought by Issaquah
police and the FBI’s Seattle Safe
Streets Task Force.
The man walked into the Bank
of America branch at 665 Front
Street N. on Dec. 1 and left with
an undisclosed amount of cash.
Authorities said the man did not
display a weapon during the robbery.
The man was described as
a white male, between 5-foot10 and 6-feet tall, with a thin
build. Surveillance images show
he was wearing a black North
Face ski jacket along with sunglasses and a hood. The man
was also wearing blue latex
gloves.
Two days later, again at 5:40

Winter Magic ice rink returns Tribe responds to city’s
to Snoqualmie through Jan. 2 defence of development
By Dylan Chaffin
[email protected]

Winter Magic will once again
return to Snoqualmie, with the
opening of a larger, improved
ice rink to be placed in two
different locations during the
month of December.
The Snoqualmie City
Council voted to approve the
$55,000 purchase of the synthetic ice rink during its Oct. 6
meeting.
About $42,000 of the purchase will go to the 1/2-inch
thick synthetic tiles that
form the rink’s base and their
shipment, and the remaining $13,000 will go to fencing, tents and staffing for the

three-week event, said Lizzy
Billington, events coordinator.
The quality of the rink is
twice as thick as last year and
of much better quality for ice
skaters, she said.
This year, the rink measures
3,600 square feet — double the
size of last year’s ice rink — to
accommodate community feedback that asked for more room
for older children and adults,
Billington said.
While the rink is in the historic district of Snoqualmie, it
will measure 30 feet by 120 feet.
When it moves to the Ridge
Amphitheater in Snoqualmie
Ridge on Dec. 22, it will be separated into two rinks that measure
30 feet by 50 feet and are joined

by a connective pathway, she
said.
The rink will open in the historic district during the annual
tree lighting ceremony on Dec.
12.
There will be a second grand
opening ceremony at the Ridge
Amphitheater on Dec. 22.
The rink will be open in
Railroad Park Dec. 12 through
Dec. 20, and in Snoqualmie
Ridge Dec. 22 through Jan. 2.
For Snoqualmie residents 10
years of age and under, tickets
cost $3. For ages 11 and older,
tickets cost $5.
For all other guests ages 10
and under, tickets cost $5. For
ages 11 and older, tickets cost
$10.

EFR eyes contract with Snoqualmie tribe
Eastside Fire and Rescue may
soon provide emergency and
fire services to the Snoqualmie
Casino pending contract approval from the Snoqualmie Tribe.
EFR reached the agreement

during a Nov. 30 special board
meeting. The contract was delivered to the tribe Dec. 1, Deputy
Chief Jon Parkinson said.
The five-year contract only
extends services to the casino,

Parkinson said.

Reservation.

Both the City of Snoqualmie
and the Snoqualmie Tribe have
not budged from their positions
on development — while officials from both parties agree that
the Snoqualmie Falls are a cherished part of Snoqualmie Valley,
the tribe argues that Snoqualmie
Mayor Matt Larson has been
mischaracterized as the caretaker
of their sacred land.
“I’ve never seen any place
that you can enhance with
bulldozers on sacred (land) and
burial grounds,” said Tribal
Chairwoman Carolyn Lubenau
during a recent phone interview.
She was referencing the press
release issued by the city last
week.
In the release, Larson noted
that “one of his highest priorities is not just preserving, but
also restoring and enhancing
the beauty and integrity of
Snoqualmie Falls.”
Tribal Councilwoman Lois
Sweet Dorman said that the

Tribe only became aware of the
press release after it was published in the SnoValley Star.
The tribe has not attempted
to contact the city over the press
release, nor has the city had any
need for legal correspondence
regarding development, said
Joan Pliego, the city’s public
information officer.
Last week’s release was only
meant to serve as background
information, she said. There
are no existing proposals from
developers for the land that a
175-home housing development
could potentially sit on.

Newcastle Chamber hands
out 2015 Diamond Awards
By Christina Corrales-Toy

In Mayor Steve Buri’s mind,
the Newcastle City Council
made one of its best decisions
ever in 2013.
That was the year the council voted to bump Newcastle
Detective Christy Marsalisi
from part time to full time.
Marsalisi started as the city’s
full-time detective in 2014. She
is the primary reason Newcastle
has seen a reduction in property crimes, Buri said. That’s why
she received a 2015 Newcastle
Chamber of Commerce
Diamond Award.
“She really had an interest in
being a detective and solving
crimes,, and that’s what she’s
done very effectively throughout Newcastle,” Buri said.
The chamber rolled out the

top contributors at the 2015

Nov. 19.
Marsalisi won the Mayor’s
Award, given to a person who
consistently volunteers his or
her time and resources to make
a positive difference in the
Newcastle community.
Overall, it was a big night
for Newcastle staff members.
In addition to Marsalisi’s win,
Wendy Kirchner, the city’s
community activities liaison,
picked up the Customer Service
Award.
Kirchner won the prize given
to a greater Newcastle area individual, organization or public
employee that demonstrates an
uncommon commitment and
enthusiasm that enriches the
community and its residents.
She is responsible for facilitating the city’s slate of community events, including
Newcastle Days and Concerts in

the Park.
Additionally, Mayor Steve
Buri won the Community
Leadership Award, given to an
individual who demonstrates
uncommon initiative, caring
and leadership in the community.
Buri has served the city
of Newcastle since 2007 as a
councilman, deputy mayor
and mayor. He will leave the
City Council at the end of
December, after he decided not
to run for re-election.
Longtime Olympus resident

Stronk was recognized for working to make her neighborhood
a better place.
In addition to expanding the

Issaquah seeks public input
on school start times
By Tom Corrigan

The Issaquah School Board
wants the public’s help in deciding whether or not any changes
in starting and stopping times
for the local school day are
desirable.
They also need to determine
if changes are feasible.
“There certainly is a lot
of energy around it,” said
Superintendent Ron Thiele at an
Issaquah School Board meeting
Oct. 28.
Thiele added that if the board
wants to put changes in place
for the 2016-2017 school year,
they need to make a decision on
the topic by March 2016.
With that in mind, Thiele
announced the district will
conduct a survey of residents
to be completed by consultants

Thoughtexchange.
The actual start/stop time
survey will take place in January,
Thiele said. He added he is hoping for high levels of participation in order to gain a clear
picture of the thoughts of the
community.
“It’s been an issue, really, for
the last year,” said L. Michelle,
district spokeswoman. Several
surrounding districts have discussed, or are in the process of
discussing, later start times, she
added.
The main argument is that
school starts too early, especially
for teenagers, who may simply need more sleep. Michelle
talked about disrupting natural
rhythms.
