EVERETT — It’s the latest in a long line of proj-ects expected to bring peo-ple and, hopefully, a new sense of energy to down-town Everett.

The seven-story Aero Apartments has opened at the corner of Hewitt and Rucker avenues. Already more than half of the 102 apartments have been leased.

“Bringing people back to the core of the city is the critical ingredient for making local retail via-ble and supporting the success of neighborhood restaurants and gathering places,” said Craig Skotdal, president of Skotdal Real Estate.

The Aero Apartments is an important piece of the puzzle to rejuvenating downtown, said Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson. He praised the Skotdal family for the project.

“With a Skotdal prop-erty, you know you’re get-

ting a world-class develop-ment,” Stephanson said.

In the past five years, several major projects have opened in downtown, including the Artspace Lofts; the Library Place, another Skotdal proj-ect; and Potala Place and Farmer’s Market, an apart-ment building that is leas-ing despite a fraud inves-

tigation into developer Lobsang Dargey.

Add in two hotels — the Hampton Inn, which opened in 2014, and the Marriott Hotel, scheduled to open next year — and the city is hoping that there will be enough feet on the street for down-town to thrive.

Construction started

on the Aero Apartments in March 2014. The lot used to hold a car rental business.

The apartments at 2901 Rucker Ave. range in size from 512 to 974 square feet, from studios to two-bedroom units, with a small number of live/work loft-style spaces at street level. The name

is a nod to Everett’s ties to the aerospace industry. The design of the build-ing is intended to reflect the theme with metallic exterior finishes, night-time “runway” lighting at the main entrance and aviation-inspired signage and artwork, including a main sign that looks like an airplane tail.

The theme continues into the lobby, which fea-tures an aviation-inspired photo mural along with a large fireplace and lounge seating.

Amenities include an outdoor patio with a fire-place, barbecue grill and seating area. A glass-en-closed lounge includes a kitchen, pool and shuf-

fleboard tables and large-screen televisions.

For green features, the Aero Apartments include solar panels installed in the rooftop, energy-efficient lighting and appliances and energy-saving win-dows and doors.

Several downtown busi-nesses have offered dis-counts for new residents of the apartments.

Skotdal said it’s a huge relief to finish the proj-ect after months of hard work.

“As for where we go from here, that remains to be determined,” he said. “We’re always look-ing for ways to invest in Everett and keep the pos-itive momentum going.”

EVERETT — Chuck Noel looked down at a page full of grocery ads, scan-ning the vibrant checkerboard for deals.

“These things are important,” he said. “Not just coupons, but sales.”

Chex Mix comes in 8-ounce bags, he explained, which retail for a little over $3. But time it right and you can get them for a buck.

Noel eats one of those bags a week. That’s more than 50 bags a year, which, at full price, would cost him around $175. But he never pays full price for Chex Mix.

“If I’m getting them for a buck, I’m gonna only pay 50 bucks. So I just saved myself $125,” he said, then rattled off other products commonly on sale: Chee-rios, Wheat Thins, eggs. “You do that with 10 different items, all of a sudden you’ve got more than a thousand dollars in savings.”

Last time Chex Mix went on sale, Noel bought 10 bags. He also scored low-er-level symphony tickets for $25 apiece, and by sticking to second-run showings at Crest Cinema in Shoreline, he never shells out more than $4 for a film (“The last time I went to a regular theater, it was $4,” he said).

Since 1991, Noel has shared this pas-sion for penny-pinching on his radio show, “Getting Your Dough to Rise,” which airs once a month on KSER 90.7 FM.

Some of his talking points, such as couponing, may sound a bit oldfangled to younger listeners. But others, like explaining how Facebook bought the mobile messaging company WhatsApp, are as millennial as it gets.

The hourlong show, an unpaid gig for the 73-year-old Noel, features guests from around the financial world. He’s interviewed Ken Fisher, a Forbes Mag-azine columnist and billionaire invest-ment analyst; Paul Kangas of PBS Nightly Business Report; Paul Solman of PBS News Hour; and Richard Thaler, best-selling author and University of Chi-cago economist.

Local guests have included business journalists, faculty from the University of Washington and the director of the Washington State Lottery (Noel asked her about her retirement plan).

His method for securing sources: Call them up and ask. How he tells if they’ll be good for the show: “If it fits.”

Tom Clendening, KSER’s station man-ager, credits Noel’s lineup of heavy hitters to his three decades of financial experi-ence: “He knows an awful lot of people. He’s got a pretty good web of influence — a pretty good Rolodex.”

He’s also got a pretty good audience. “Getting Your Dough to Rise” is one of KSER’s most popular programs with call-ers, both during the live broadcast and in the weeks leading up to it (“When’s Chuck on again?” is a common query).

Added Clendening: “He sounds like you’re sitting down at a bar with a guy who’s got a lot of information and can give it to you pretty straight.”

“I assume there’s always someone lis-tening for the first time,” Noel said. “Concepts like paying yourself first, plan-ning for emergencies, the basic steps of a financial plan — I like to get that out.”

Noel’s interest in the almighty dol-lar traces back to majoring in econom-ics at Brown University. The undergrad degree took him nine years to complete thanks to a hiatus spent working at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York, in a naval shipyard and as a plaster pattern maker at Boeing. “I was still in the early age of exploring and going where the winds blew,” he said.

After graduating, he worked at IBM and as a headmaster at a secondary school in Kenya. An ailing mother brought him back to Everett, and after she passed in 1982, he shifted his career to financial advising.

The first episode of “Getting Your Dough to Rise” aired soon after KSER launched in 1991. Noel, who lived near

the station at the time, heard they were looking for someone with an interest in music and a big record collection. He owned a few hundred vinyl LPs, so he went in to talk. He walked out set to host a show on finance.

“I don’t quite remember how that con-versation evolved, but it worked out fine,” Noel said.

The early shows were taped in advance. “Mainly for my benefit, since I didn’t feel confident enough to go live,” he said. But they weren’t easy to put together.

Noel was a perfectionist, so after recording a show he would go through and slice out all the “um’s” and “ah’s,” then piece it back together.

These days the show airs live with all its imperfections.

When he speaks both on and off the air, Noel is quick to draw from a bank of one-liners. You might call them Noe-lisms, had he been the one to come up with them.

“The more I know, the more I know the less I know,” he said, paraphrasing Einstein. “I think that’s mine, but some-how I might have taken that from some-one else. You’ve never heard that before, right?”

Whatever will be, will be. The earlier the better. The past doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.

Ancient Greek philosophers are a com-

mon source. “One of the key things they came up with was, ‘Everything in moder-ation,’” Noel said. “Socrates came up with it. But I’m sure he stole it from someone.”

Perhaps his favorite adage of them all: “If it’s trite, it’s probably right.”

Trite means overused, Noel explained, but that’s only because people aren’t listening.

“When you tell someone they should stop drinking because they might be an alcoholic, maybe they’ve heard it over and over again, but they didn’t stop,” he said.

In other words, the formulas for finan-cial success are out there — pay yourself first, don’t familiarize yourself with debt — it’s just about sticking to them.

Noel retired from financial advising five years ago. It didn’t make sense to seek out new clients as he neared his 70s. His old ones had been reliable over the years, but they couldn’t stick around forever.

“My income was falling off due to different reasons, including things like deaths,” he said. “I figured it was a good time to pack it in.”

As for the radio gig, he’s staying put for now. It’s entertaining and he enjoys the company, and that fulfills another would-be Noelism: “Do the things you want to do.” It’s not the most original piece of advice, but it can’t hurt to hear it. After all, Chuck Noel might be trite, but people are listening.

It’ll be a small batch, maybe 250 to 300 bottles.

And nobody knows for sure how it will turn out.

But Everett’s Bluewa-ter Organic Distilling is teaming up with Capt. Keith Colburn of “The Deadliest Catch” fame to create a traditional Scandinavian spirit that is aged at sea.

Bluewater Organic Distilling owner John Lundin sent a large oak barrel of akvavit to ride aboard Colburn’s F/V Wizard during the win-ter crab season. The fin-ished product will return this spring.

“To take a barrel to the Bering Sea to be exposed to the extreme environment up there with all of the thrashing seas, there’s no real prece-dence,” Lundin said.

Akvavit is often sent aboard ships to age, but Colburn said he doesn’t know if anyone has sent a barrel that far north.

“It’s sloshing around right now in the forward hull as we speak,” Colburn said. “It’s going to go through the Bering Sea test.”

Akvavit is a spirit infused with caraway and other spices, rooted in Nordic cul-ture and often broken out during festive

gatherings. Lundin likes to describe it as Viking gin, although it’s only been around since the 1500s and 1600s.

“I came from a household where akvavit was a centerpiece at our Christ-mas dinner,” Lundin said. “It’s a complex spirit, it’s not for everybody, but it’s some-thing we had in the household when I was growing up.”

The rocking motion of the boat as well

as the weather on the ship help the spirit get its unique flavor. The spirit will not only gain flavors from the spices, but also from the charred-oak barrel. Lundin hopes it will bring a mellow flavor.

Lundin, whose family hails from Swe-den, has always wanted to brew a batch of akvavit. When he met Colburn recently, they got to talking about the drink.

Colburn isn’t Scandinavian; he described himself as an American mutt. He said he’s never tried akvavit.

“That will be interesting,” he said. “I’m really excited to see what it’s going to be like.”

A custom steel cage was welded to con-tain the barrel through the rolling and thrashing it will endure on the high seas of the Arctic.

They’re not taking any orders for the spirit just yet. They want to see how it tastes although Lundin is convinced it will be fine. Lundin said it could be a one-time only event or it may be something they do again in the future.

“Although there are a huge number of variables at work, we still have great con-fidence it’s going to be a fabulous spirit,” Lundin said. “We’re confident it’s going to be a remarkable spirit no matter what happens.”

Part of the proceeds to the Seattle Fish-ermen’s Memorial Fund, which raises money for safety education as well as a college fund for children of fishermen lost at sea.

Traditional spirit to be aged on the Wizard sailing the Bering Sea

I n a city of rentals, the house at 2311 19th St. in north Everett could be a tipping point.

Real estate broker Saman Kouretchian bought the house in March when it was being rented room by room.

At the time, five people were living in the home and Kouretchian had heard as many as 15 had been living there. After he got the keys, Kouretchian waited a few days before he showed up.

“I opened the door and I immediately knew something was wrong,” Kouret-chian said. “I said, ‘Hello, is anybody here?’ And a lady came out of one of the bedrooms. She was sleeping there. She just ran out.

“A couple of the other people were also here and they said they needed to come

back in to get some stuff and that we had just kicked them out early even though we had given them a few days grace period.”

The home was like a lot of houses around of Everett, a falling-down wreck. And like a lot of homes around the city, it

was a rental. Everett has one of the lowest rates of

homeownership in the state. Just 44 per-cent of the houses in Everett are owned by the people living in them.

That’s the lowest homeownership rate of the top 20 largest cities in Washing-

ton, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And it’s the lowest of all the cities in Sno-homish County.

With real estate prices climbing around the Puget Sound area, and more people looking farther and farther from Seattle for a place to live, homes like the one at 2311 19th St. will become too valuable to rent.

Or that’s what Kouretchian believes. He bought it for $172,000 and put

$100,000 into fixing it up before putting it back on the market.

Kouretchian, who lives in Seattle, thinks that more and more people like him will be looking for homes to invest in around Everett as housing prices return to pre-recession levels.

“The nice thing about Everett is the prices are a lot lower than Seattle,” he said. “So the barrier to invest is a lot lower, while the market is going up over the past year.”

But shifts in real estate take time, said Mike Pattison of the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish

Counties.The home ownership rate is tied

closely to income in a community. And yes, Everett’s median house-

hold income ranks as the lowest in the county, according to the Census Bureau. It’s also among the lowest of the 20 larg-est cities in the state.

“Everett is eventually going to gen-trify,” Pattison said. “It’s a matter of when. I often point to Belltown in Seat-tle. The city tried for decades to rejuve-nate that entire area. It took time, but it eventually happened and Belltown became frankly one of the nicer parts of Seattle.”

Pattison calls it axiomatic — self-ev-ident that people who own their home are better for a city than people who rent.

Plenty of landlords and tenants mow lawns and fix chipping paint.

And plenty of homeowners let the weeds grow or replace broken windows with cardboard.

But it generally works out that peo-ple who own take greater care of their property than renters and become more invested in the community, Pattison said.

It’s a point that Everett Mayor Ray Stephanson doesn’t concede. He thinks there was a stigma attached renters in the past. But he said that attitudes are changing.

He said plenty of younger pro-fessionals prefer to rent. And plenty of empty-nesters prefer to live in

He said plenty of younger pro-fessionals prefer to rent. And plenty of empty-nesters prefer to live in

apartments with views of Port Gardner, like those at Potala Place or Aero Apart-ments, which just opened in downtown Everett.

As for the ownership rate, Stephan-son said, it’s skewed low since the city annexed areas to the south decades ago along Casino Road and near Silver Lake, which include large apartment complexes with many renters.

Still, Everett’s 44 percent home own-ership rate is 20 percentage points lower than many cities around the county. Mukilteo has a 68 percent home own-ership rate, for instance. Marysville has

a 70 percent rate. Lake Stevens is at 74 percent. The state has an overall rate of 63 percent.

The Census Bureau computes the home ownership rate by dividing the number of owner-occupied housing units by the number of occupied hous-ing units or households in a commu-nity; the numbers are an average from 2009-2013.

What makes Everett’s rate so perplex-ing is the fact that there are so many jobs in the city.

The living room looking out onto the street of 2311 19th St. Kouretchian liked the chaaracter of the home.

Everett is the seat of county gov-ernment and is home to major health institutions like The Everett Clinic and Providence Regional Medical Center Everett, as well as one of the world’s biggest manufacturers in the Boe-ing Co.

“Everett has Boeing in its backyard, but from my experience many of those jobs go home at night to Mukilteo, Lake Ste-vens and Arlington,” Pattison said. “Why that it is, I’m not sure.”

For more peo-ple to buy, Everett needs to see local incomes rise, Pat-tison said. And that will happen with time.

“You can plan all you want for it and sow the seeds for it all you want but it has to happen organically,” he said.

City planners expect Everett’s popu-lation to grow by nearly 40 percent, or 40,000 people, for a total of 143,000 by 2035.

County planners put the number even higher, at about 60,000.

The number of jobs in the area is already growing and is expected to keep pace with population, according to eco-nomic forecasts.

To house all of those people, the city needs diversity of housing, Stephanson said. That includes homes owned by the people living in them but also rental homes and apartments.

“We need to make sure that we have housing available that’s both ownership and rental, that provides housing for all incomes,” Stephanson said. “I don’t want us to become a community where a middle-income family can’t afford to live.”

And he thinks that there are older homes that will need to make way for newer development.

“Particularly in north Everett, in my neighborhood, as we move on in our community life, I think you’ll see some tear-downs and rebuilds occur,” Stephan-son said.

Kouretchian could have torn down the

house on 19th Street, which sits on the border of Everett’s Delta and Riverside neighborhoods. It was older and needed a lot of work and had been lived in hard. The Google image of the house shows a group of people just milling about outside.

Kouretchian saw what the home could be. He liked the charm of the house, built in 1942. And he liked the space with 2,800 square feet.

After the tenants left, Kouretchian cleared out the garbage that was piled floor-to-ceil-ing in the attic and basement, put in new all new stain-less steel appliances, quartz counters, shaker cabinets and re-finished the orig-

inal hard woods. The worst part was replacing

the landscaping in the back yard, where they found carpeting and old Christmas ornaments buried in the ground.

He’s put the house on the market for $349,000. Someone could buy the home as a rental investment, Kouretchian said, but it’s unlikely that the house will be rented room by room.

He’s fairly new to the flipping game — buying a house and improving it with the idea of selling it for a profit. He’s bought investment properties from Everett to Kent. But he enjoyed turning around this house.

“Every day, people were walking by saying, ‘Thank you so much, the house looks amazing. You’ve done so much for the neighborhood,’” Kouretchian said.

He said other investors have asked him why he put so much money into the home. He could have invested less and maybe made as much profit, if not more.

But he said that wouldn’t be any fun. When he gives the keys to the new buyer, he wants to be sure that everything works right.

“When you take the worst house in the neighborhood and you put a lot of money into it and make it so it’s not the eyesore of the neighborhood, it raises everybody’s property values.”


“Everett is eventually going to gentrify. It’s a matter of when.”

DON’T LET A PAST DUI

STOP YOUR BUSINESS TRAVEL TO CANADA!

By Melissa CroweFor The Herald Business Journal

LYNNWOOD — At Seattle Coffee Gear, a coffee geek’s paradise, you can have your espresso and drink it, too.

Victor Gehlen, presi-dent and founder of the company, is helping peo-ple find the answer to making excellent coffee at home.

“There’s no wrong way to make coffee you love,” Gehlen said.

But when it comes to diluted and bitter coffee water, “it can be so much better than that,” he said.

In November, Seattle Coffee Gear opened The Wall, a new feature at its flagship location in Alder-wood mall.

It’s a multi-roaster con-cept designed to address the foundation of good coffee: good beans.

Offering more than 30 specialty roasts ready to sample via pour-over or espresso brew method, Gehlen said the goal is to help people make coffee they love at home.

The business started nearly 10 years ago.

Gehlen, who had a latte-a-day habit, was frustrated at the lack of options for home kitchens.

“I’d buy at least one cof-fee a day, and that’s a lot of money,” he said.

He recalls his failed

efforts to find decent at-home gear. He picked out a $300 machine, the most expensive on the shelf at a department store, hoping for the best only to have his dreams of

full-bodied espresso crema shot down.

“I said, ‘This is going to work,’ but I made one shot and I could never get another good one,” he said.

After an endless and dis-appointing search, Gehlen saw an opportunity. He left his corporate job and opened his own business, aiming to give people tools and knowledge to make better coffee.

What started in his Lynnwood garage in 2006 has blossomed into the nation’s second-lead-ing independent online espresso machine dealer and retail locations in Lynnwood, Bellevue and Portland, Ore.

The first store opened in 2007 in Alderwood Mall. Gehlen had pur-chased a set of machines to get “hands-on experi-ence” when the compa-ny’s vice president, Gail

Williams, came on board. With enough product to show customers, a store made sense. As the indus-try grows into more of an experience-based busi-ness much like wineries and craft breweries, Seat-tle Coffee Gear could be headed to other markets including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, Gehlen said.

“People’s tastes have matured, especially in Seattle,” Gehlen said.

For $7,000, you can go home with the La Mar-zocco GS/3 Espresso Machine, featuring dual stainless steel boilers, pow-erful steaming action, and more gizmos than any caf-feine-fiend could wish for.

It may sound pricey, but people already spend a lot on their coffee fix, Gehlen said.

A 12-ounce vanilla latte costs about $4. One every workday over a year adds up to about $1,000 not including tips, gas, parking and other expenses.

But Gehlen knows not everyone’s budget is the same and a good cup of coffee isn’t about how much you spend on it.

The Chemex classic glass and wood pour-over vessel runs about $40 and is one of the staff picks for coffee gear.

Brendan Field, a mar-keting communications specialist with the com-pany, said he considers a good burr coffee bean grinder the most import-ant asset to a good cup of coffee. The starting price is about $30 and goes into the thousands.

His favorite coffee is a pour-over weighed and brewed to perfection.

“I like the process of it,” he said.

Kaylie Kipe, marketing director for the company, said the company even offers in-person classes and online videos to teach people how to pull the perfect shot or pour exqui-site latte art.

Whether shoppers are looking for a simple drip-per or the Rolls Royce of espresso machines, the staff prides itself on ensur-ing people spend their money wisely and end up with a cup of coffee they’ll crave every morning.

“At the end of the day, they should enjoy their cup of coffee,” Gehlen said.

An Everett laboratory will help test medicine that could be used to treat survivors of a nuclear attack.

SNBL USA won a fed-eral contract to be one of the laboratories in a pool used to determine what medicine would be best to treat radiation poisoning.

“God forbid if it’s ever needed, but, if it is needed, I’m glad we’ve done it,” said Mark Crane, SNBL’s vice president of business development.

The contract is up to $20 million a year for the next five years. To gear up for the work, SNBL has added 40 workers in the past three months and is expected to hire another 20 to 30, Crane said. After the company finishes hir-ing, SNBL expects to employ 350.

While millions of peo-ple could die if a nuclear attack occurred on Amer-ican soil, millions more could be exposed to vary-ing levels of radiation, depending on their dis-tance from the blast.

“Everybody is going to assume that the govern-ment is prepared for this,” Crane said. “The truth of the matter is the govern-ment is preparing.”

To do the work, the laboratory is expected to expose animals from mice and rats to pigs to monkeys with levels of radiation to determine how effective the med-icine could be to treat survivors.

SNBL works hard to minimize the pain and suf-fering of the animals, said Ken Gordon, executive director of the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research.

“I think everyone in

the business, if we could find alternatives to using animals in research, we would jump at that chance, but we don’t have that as an alternative at the moment,” Gordon said.

Like all laboratories that do animal testing, SNBL has a committee of scien-tists and community mem-bers that determines if the work can only be done on animals, the appropriate number of animals to use and what can be done for their care, he said.

SNBL is owned by Shin Nippon Biomedi-cal Laboratories of Japan. The company opened in Everett in 1999 and the lab currently sits on a 29-acre site talong Sea-way Boulevard. A Shinto shrine stands outside, honoring animals used in research.

This will be the first federal contract for SNBL. The contract is through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, which is under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Federal officials are trying to determine what would happen if a nuclear explosion occurs in Amer-ica. One of the scenar-ios being examined is if a 10-megaton bomb blew up in Manhattan.

“All those people who have seen the flash, they all think they’ve been exposed to high levels of radiation and they think they’re all going to die,” Crane said. “They’re not.”

People who suffer from enough radiation poison-ing go through stages of sickness.

The first is called the blood syndrome, where a survivor loses all of their white blood cells and loses the ability to pro-duce more. That makes them more at risk for infection.

In the Manhattan sce-nario, people and cars on the street would be bur-ied under five to six feet of broken glass falling from the skyscrapers damaged during the blast.

“You’ve got cuts from glass and bricks, you’ve probably got a broken arm

or a broken leg,” Crane said. “So chances are excel-lent that you’ll be exposed to an infection.”

What medication is best used to help those people who have cuts and whose white blood cells were obliterated? Most of the work will involve existing drugs that can be used in new ways.

One drug already deter-mined to be useful is Neupogen made by Both-ell’s Amgen. (The firm has since closed its Bothell and Seattle campuses.) The University of Maryland conducted the tests to determine that the drug is beneficial.

“The government is being pretty smart here,” Crane said. “They’re most interested in drugs that are already on the market for a new application.”

Now the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Author-ity is determining what other drugs could help with initial radiation sick-ness or later syndromes when the intestines degrade or tumors form in the lungs.

The federal agency con-tracted with five laborato-ries across the U.S. for the research.

As more drugs are tested, each laboratory will

bid on the work. SNBL doesn’t know how much work it will be contracted to do.

Crane said that he expected that SNBL will be awarded several studies. How many animals will be used in the testing won’t be known until the lab is awarded the studies.

The laboratory has added or is hiring animal husbandry technicians, clinical pathologists, study directors and veterinary technicians.

The company has also hired support staff in IT and accounting.

The federal government did research into how

to prepare for a nuclear attack during the Cold War. After the Cold War ended, research dried up, Crane said.

When the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred, federal authorities started worry-ing about what could hap-pen if a weapon of mass destruction went off.

The research conducted during the Cold War is outdated; Crane likens it to technology used 30 to 40 years ago versus what’s used today.

“We don’t have the emergency kit, ‘In case of nuclear attack, open this box,’” Crane said. “That doesn’t exist.”

EDMONDS — Eric Carr is a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy.

In fact, so is most staff at South By Sea, the custom collegiate apparel com-pany he and his friend, Brandon Metcalf, founded in 2011.

Despite the laid-back dress code, it’s all business at their small second-story office in an old building on Dayton Street in down-town Edmonds.

Atop the front desk, an inbox overflows with orders and requests, and past the dimly lit foyer, a team of designers hand-sketch and revise dozens of new illustrations a day while sales representatives take orders from univer-sities in Florida, Georgia, Texas and more.

“We just ended up tak-ing a leap of faith,” Carr, 31, said.

Their leap of faith is paying off. The company has nearly 50 full-time employees — about 30 in Nashville and 20 in Edmonds — a sales team that is set to break the $7 million mark this year, and a plan to continue growing.

The company offers custom apparel, hats, tumblers, koozies, water bottles, sunglasses, totes, socks and more, with free artwork and revisions.

In the past four years, they’ve sold more than 1 million products for bid days, semi-formals, home-comings and other Greek life events.

“We try a lot of different things,” Carr said. “What works, we’ll keep. What doesn’t, we scrap.”

It’s not just about cus-tom gear. Along with South by Sea’s design office in Edmonds and print shop in Nash-ville, the company has an unexpected division — music.

Since the start, Metcalf, 29, dreamed of combining the apparel business with his passion for music. In 2012, after South by Sea saw 300 percent growth, he left the Pacific North-west to take the business in a new direction.

With four employees and a recording studio in

Nashville, the heartland of American music, Metcalf is already seeing success with artists like Frankie, who made Taylor Swift’s list of favorite new songs in October.

Compared to the apparel side, recording and developing artists is a small portion of South by Sea’s business. In between music projects, Metcalf oversees the print shop.

Ninety-five percent of the company is focused on the college market, but by the end of the year, South By Sea is launching a new corporate division aimed at gearing up local busi-ness owners, nonprofits and events.

“We’re not necessar-ily after water bottles for Microsoft,” Carr joked.

Carr and Metcalf have always had an entrepre-neurial spirit.

In high school, Carr, who grew up in Ferndale, opened a business setting up Christmas light dis-plays. By his sophomore year at Washington State University, he was presi-dent of his fraternity, Beta Theta Pi.

Metcalf spent his sum-mers helping his father lay flooring in the Everett area.

As a teenager, he took that work ethic, which he said is “in his blood,” and started his first

T-shirt business design-ing and selling musician merchandise.

“I don’t have a lot of for-mal education or training other than jumping in and figuring things out along the way,” Metcalf said.

When the two met and started talking busi-ness, they realized with each other’s help they could make something successful.

Building a success-ful business wasn’t easy, but with the help of their dedicated team, the two pushed through it.

“We’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs,” Carr said.

Every dime the com-

pany made was reinvested. They worked around the clock, putting in 100-hour workweeks.

Even still, they made sure to always have fun. “Some of our most enjoy-able times at the company were at the beginning when we had nothing,” Carr said.

Back then, Grou-pons for Burger Mad-ness, a local burger chain, were incentive enough. Anne Hornung, the com-pany’s creative director, turned the company into a trio.

After two years running the business out of an apartment in Northgate with Carr living upstairs, they moved South by Sea to Edmonds, to its first bonafide office space.

“We just really liked the area,” Carr said. “This place popped up and it was a great deal, we have a cool view of the water and a safe environment.”

The bottom line is they stay focused on the future and excited about their growth.

Carr is planning how to double their collegiate sales and build up the new corporate division.

His goal is to break $25 million. Metcalf wants to add more capacity to the Nashville print shop and expand into the West Coast.

“Overall, I feel very for-tunate to be involved and get to be exploring my passion,” he said.

The credit goes to the team for building the company into what it is today, he said.

“It was all part of the dream, but being here and living it is pretty awe-some,” he said.

T he Starbucks red cup is not a con-spiracy, just a missed opportunity.

Let’s pretend for a moment that you have no idea what I’m talking about. Maybe you’ve been living in the

wilds of Winnipeg and, God forbid, you didn’t have cell service for a while. If that were the case then you’ve been spared the latest social media drama.

Every holiday season Starbucks, like so many other national brands, introduces seasonal products, promo-tional items or

advertising. It’s a time-tested tradition. I personally remember warmly the TV commercial with Santa gliding across the snow on a Norelco electric razor.

Why the big deal over a coffee cup? Starbucks has been introducing a festive holiday cup design every year since 1997. In more recent years, they’ve featured bears on sleds, snowmen and a variety of ornaments, all designed in the classic cutout style that is now synonymous with the Starbucks brand.

The design for this year is pretty tame compared to previous years. In fact, look-ing at all the different holiday cup designs

side by side, it seems to me that they have progressively become more conservative each year. This year’s design is a red cup with the standard green Starbucks logo. Kind of makes you wonder where they will go next year — green logo on a white cup? Oh wait, that’s the cup they offer every day. Controversy struck when this year’s cup was released. Faith groups felt the lack of holiday details was an inten-tional effort to undermine Christmas.

Clearly there is nothing controversial or subversive about the cup designs. Not the bland one this year or the cute little winking bear design from 2012. After

all, it is the holidays. It’s a time of year that’s wrought with emotion. We listen to Christmas carols that remind us of our childhood. We decorate trees with orna-ments passed down through generations. There is so much history built into our Christmas experience.

Successful marketers have made themselves part of those traditions and become an integral part of our Christmas experience. While social media seems to nuture controversies, it’s still hard to understand why anyone would have an issue with a plain red cup. The only thing it represents is a missed opportunity.

Just look at the numbers. Starbucks hands out coffee cups to nearly 10 million users every day. Just think of how many people see each cup. All told there are on aver-age 20 different people seeing each cup, adding up to 200 million people looking at what’s on those cups every single day. Just to put that into perspective, that’s more than any TV commercial played during the Super Bowl last year.

With that much exposure those cups command a lot of clout. Just think of all the things they could do. How about a contest every year, allowing anyone sign-ing on to the Starbucks website to submit a design.

What if Starbucks acted in the holiday spirit and used all that exposure to raise awareness for charitable organizations. They could feature a different charity every week, between Thanksgiving and Christmas, requesting donations on behalf of each organization. The simple truth is, there are so many things Star-bucks could have done with their coffee cups. They chose to do nothing. No statements against Christmas. No hidden meaning. No warm fuzzy feeling. It’s just a red cup with a green logo that doesn’t conjure up anything except the desire to toss it in the trash.

N orwegian immi-grant Almer Skotdal arrived

in the U.S. like so many others seeking a better life.

He came to Everett in 1930, slept on a cot at the local YMCA, and made plans to start his first venture, West Coast Dairy. Some 35 years later, he sold the company and invested the proceeds into a small retail center in Snohomish, kicking off a family enterprise that would carry on long after him.

Around that time, his son was just getting started in real estate and for most of Art Skotdal’s 73 years, he and his wife, Marianne, have been actively managing and growing a portfolio of office, retail and apart-ment properties, primarily in Everett.

Many of the office buildings that shape Ever-ett’s skyline are owned by the family, making the Skotdal name synonymous with its downtown.

Nearly 90 years later, Almer’s grandson, Craig Skotdal, 42, helps lead the family business into its next chapter, which he describes as “making Everett one of the best places to live and work in Puget Sound.”

While that may sound bold, to Skotdal it’s entirely achievable and his family enterprise has invested significant capital into that narrative.

Their latest investment, Aero Apartments (www.flyaeroapts.com), is a 102-unit mid-rise in the heart of downtown Ever-ett with sweeping views in each direction. It’s part of their strategy for urban renewal.

According to Craig Skotdal, his family has chosen to focus their investments in a core area of downtown in order to multiply the positive impacts of each new project.

The family’s commit-ment to the arts, architec-ture, and other amenities for their projects help ensure that Everett’s trans-formation “will have its own unique character and identity.”

Skotdal says that the added value “doesn’t always pencil, but it’s our

way of giving back to the community and encourag-ing others to step up their investment in Everett as well.”

Skotdal, a local Everett High School product and Stanford University grad, has overcome a profound hearing loss, having only 10 percent hearing in one ear.

He hasn’t let the phys-ical challenge hold him back — Skotdal taught

himself how to read lips and recently ran his first half marathon while wirelessly streaming music on his Bluetooth enabled hearing aid. He’s learned how to create opportunity from challenge and applies that same philosophy to the family business.

With two new hotels and two new apartment properties, including the Aero Apartments, enter-ing the market within 24

months of each other, there’s a real chance that the critical mass Skotdal envisions is real now and being delivered by a wide range of investors and developers.

He’s optimistic. “Some-where between 400 and 600 new residents or hotel guests will be downtown every day visiting local restaurants and shops. It’s the missing ingredient for revitalizing Everett’s

urban center, especially for making retail viable.

“We’re not quite ‘there’ yet, but we’re very close, and our company is proud to be contributing to the momentum that everyone is excited about today.”

F inding the right people for the job is still the toughest

problem for managers. And success-ful solutions to the prob-lem require year-round attention.

Gone are the times when a manager thought about replacements only when a job open-ing popped up — and the solution started with a newspa-per classified ad. In today’s workplace environment many managers are deal-ing with high-turnover labor forces that require constant replenishment. And at every level of supervision and manage-ment the search for the right people has become a constant, year-round process.

Part of the solution can be found by expanding the concept of where to find the best people for your enterprise. For many com-panies today, age diversity is providing a most effi-cient way to expand their recruiting base.

According to the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the lion’s share of the jobs added in October went to workers over 55 years old.

Many of these jobs were very likely temporary hires to meet the increased workload during the hol-iday season. The pattern of looking to seasoned workers has characterized the post-crash recovery, though, and has changed the views of employers about the value-added of workplace veterans.

This is a major depar-ture from the pattern of previous decades in which both workers and man-agers gradually became invisible in their 50s. They were no longer consid-ered important players in the workplace and certainly not considered when it came to hiring or recruiting.

The reasons behind that prevailing attitude are important because they remain a part of our hiring — and manage-

ment — attitudes today, even though they no lon-ger track with employer experiences with older

workers. One of those

reasons is tied to our human nature. We are attracted to energy and to energetic people. This is not unreasonable, either from a survival or evolu-tionary stand-point or from a business analysis standpoint.

Energy is what keeps a business alive and growing. As a biologi-cal and behavioral fact, though, older people have (and display) less energy than younger people. So, when it comes to hiring, young candidates have that advantage.

A second reason is also related to our human nature. We are attracted to self-confidence, not just in leaders but in subordinates.

It is not as markedly attached to youth as energy but many young workers, and job candi-dates, have a considerable amount of what we might call Type A self-confidence — the kind that results from not being tested yet in the real world.

Veteran workers are more likely to have Type B self-confidence, which comes from experi-ence-based knowledge of risks and one’s own capabilities and limitations.

Many entrepreneurs are able to use Type A self-confidence to their advantage. Often we hear them say things like, “My business succeeded because I didn’t know enough to realize it couldn’t be done.”

Still, as a manager looking to fill a position, we shouldn’t underesti-mate the value of Type B self-confidence. In most businesses there is a valu-able place for both.

In making recruiting and hiring decisions, our response to energy and self-confidence seem to be embedded in our natures. Many, if not most, of the other characteristics that

have been attributed to older workers turn out to be more myth than reality.

Older workers are not typically grumpy, for example. In fact, at least one study reported that employers found their older workers more cheer-ful than their younger counterparts.

Older workers are not typically in such poor health that it affects their attendance or the quality of their work. Employer experience, again, indi-

cates that they are statisti-cally more likely to show up regularly, on time, and ready for work than younger workers.

Some workplace veter-ans do fit the old stereo-type of techno-phobia, of course, but a substantial number of beginning workers do, too.

These days fewer and fewer older workers are totally unfamiliar with computers and, unless you run an IT business, most needed user skills

can be learned rapidly. Besides, hiring younger workers is no guarantee of their being computer savvy.

Many employers have encountered fresh grad-uates whose knowledge of computers was pretty much limited to turning them on or off.

Despite being increas-ingly attractive to employ-ers, senior workers still represent an under-re-cruited pool of valuable workers, something

to consider in today’s competitive market for productive employees, supervisors, and managers.

In the best cases older workers provide just the kind of focus and stabil-ity that a team needs to overcome obstacles and be really productive.

BUSINESS BUILDERS

D epending on how long you’ve been in business, you’ve probably seen the way clients communi-

cate with you change dramatically. I remember when I first started my

business and was very green; I displayed my business cards in a few public places and hoped I could keep up with the phone ringing.

I’m sure you know how that went. A decade later, the phone rarely rings but it’s not because I don’t have business, it’s because the way clients communicate has evolved.

How is communication changing? For starters, voicemail is on its way out, according to an article published by NPR this summer titled, “Businesses are Hanging Up on Voice Mail to Dial In Productivity.”

The article states banking giant JPMorgan Chase determined voice mail was costing the company $10 per person per month and was on the chopping block.

Employees started raising their hands to take away their voice mail. The bank was able to eliminate voice mail boxes by about two-thirds. Checking voice mail with codes and prompts and then calling people back can be time consuming.

Many people find they can respond much faster by text, email or through

social media sites.How has the

use of voice mail changed? A com-mon message after a greeting that you may have heard goes something like this, “For a faster response, please send me a text message.” If someone is in a meeting, between client appoint-ments or even

waiting for a meal in a restaurant, it’s going to be a heck of a lot easier and faster for them to text you back instead of waiting for enough time and an appropri-ate place to make a phone call.

Another way people strive to be more efficient when they use voice mail is by leaving a message with the informa-tion they want to share and ending the message with, “You don’t have to call me back.” Done deal.

There’s quite a variety of ways peo-ple reach out to each other now, some involve the phone and some do not. Have you ever received a text that says, “Can you talk right now?”

Phone calls are often an intrusion

during our work hours and during our family time. Sending a text is a safe way to find out if it’s a good time to chat with-out disturbing the person on the other end of the line.

Who knew that we’d see the phone as in intrusion back when we were all excited to get cell phones and actually talk to each other while we weren’t at home or in the office?

Social media is yet another way people now connect and communicate with their customers and clients. I have new clients reach out to me on Facebook to ask questions, I set appointments through Facebook private messages as well as check in with clients to see how things are going.

That certainly wasn’t an option when I started my business years ago.

How are you matching your client’s needs? When I’m establishing a relation-ship with new clients for organizing, I have them fill out a short questionnaire by email. One of the first questions I ask is how they would like to be contacted. The answer varies by age and comfort level with technology. I know right off the bat how they want to communicate and I can match their needs.

I’d rather call a client who wants a phone call and text a client an appoint-ment reminder if they prefer a text than

assume everyone wants to be contacted in the same way.

Another consideration is to match your client’s current form of communication. If they leave you a voice mail, you should probably pick up the phone and call them back instead of sending an answer by text. If they text you, they’ll be expecting an answer by text as well.

I think it’s safe to say you should pick up the phone and make a call anytime you feel there’s a communication break-down, a sensitive issue to discuss or you feel emotions or tone could be miscon-strued without the benefit of speaking directly.

Times have definitely changed since the days I was excited over a cordless phone that I could take outside so I could sit in the front yard and chat.

I was so cool and now I’m so dating myself. But really, it’s exciting that we have so many options at our disposal to connect with our clients the way they want to connect with us. The days of the busy signal are gone and it’s easier than ever to communicate effectively with our own busy clientele.

Each and every one of us is an original. Shaped by unique influences 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 Dr. Kodama—and you—more than a community bank. But rather, a community oƒ banks.
