Good Morning,
The person(s) is Ed Wilson who has run a construction company from this property for years. Per Neil & Tim they
allowed him to continue operating because he claimed to be "grandfathered" in as a business in King County. This has
always been a residential area & King County did not require business licenses. Mr. Wilson does not currently own the
property he is operating from and I am researching through DOR what is licensed at the address.
I will need all departments to help figure out exactly what is required to "fix" this problem. There is a Bonneville
easement they are using. Also a stream to the north of the property and some wetlands showing on COR Maps.
I've pulled all of the ariel views of the property to show what was and is currently happening.
The statement "According to Donna Locker they can't get a game plan together for this because not enough people are
complaining", is not correct. I did ask Laurie is she would be willing to testify in court and if there were other neighbors
that would as well. We've gone forward on cases and then the requestor(s) will not testify so I wanted to make sure she
would testify as she indicate that she is scared of Mr. Wilson.
That being said it will require research and time to put a case together. Laurie has changed her mind in the past and
asked that I not go any further with my case(s) at the time. I'm glad to see that she is willing to move forward.

Dear Mayor Pavone,
For two years my neighbor, Laurie Skagen, has been contacting Donna Locker with code compliance for our
neighborhood.
The residence at
17834 120th Ave SE
Renton, WA 98058,
parcel # 3323059025
are running a trucking company on the power lines. They bring in containers of construction debris and old cars
and break them up. They've brought in thousands of square feet of material and buried it. They've blocked the
stream that runs through the property.
This has been going on for over ten years but we only have emails going back two years.
From inside the house we can hear the big trucks backing up and the trailers being broken. Some days it's loads
of windows being broken.
This goes on all day almost every day.
This is a residential area and is zoned as such.
According to Donna Locker they can't get a game plan together for this because not enough people are
complaining. She asked if Laurie would be willing to testify in court. We let Laurie handle this instead of
muddying the water with everyone calling but now we're all getting involved.
Bonneville power says they can't do anything as long as they are able to access the power lines.
The fire department says there's nothing they can do.
Can you please look into this and get back to me.
Thank you,
Jill Brooks

Hi Donna,
Please update us after your follow-up inspection. I understand if Mr.
Wilson is having some health issues and cannot physically clean up
himself. However this morning they have been actively dumping
(multiple loud dump trucks).
Mr. Wilson is not the only one working on this property. Has there been
any inspectors out to address the large amount of fill to the northwest of
the property where all the rocks are dumped?
Thank you for your help.
Laurie Skagen

Hi Laurie,
We are due for a follow up inspection to see what he has accomplished
since the last inspection. Mr. Wilson is having some health problems but
he and his wife are committed to getting the property cleaned up.

Hi Donna,
just checking in on the cleanup. They have been starting up their dump
truck at 6am-6:15am in the morning and leaving. Yesterday was the first
day in a while that they have brought back and dumped multiple loads on
site. Could you let us know if they are still moving forward with cleaning
up and if there is a legitimate reason they would be bringing in loads and
dumping again.
Thanks, Laurie

Yes, Kevin & I met on -site with Mr. & Mrs. Wilson. They've agreed to
clean up property. Mr. Wilson has been sick off and on in the past couple
of weeks but they keep me informed.

Hi Donna,
Have you heard anything in response to the clean up? It has been very
quiet, not much activity, and looks about the same.
Thanks, Laurie
