Wildcat baseball team wins KingCo 3A title
By Greg Farrar
Evan Johnson, Mount Si High School junior, watches his fifth-inning solo home run sail over the fence, as players in the Mercer Island dugout watch the Wildcats’ lead grow in their 3A KingCo Championship tournament game May 9.
New Mount Si High School baseball head coach Zach Habben is already carving out a legacy in just his first year. The Wildcats solidified that legacy, winning a pair of matches May 9 and 10 to win Habben’s first 3A KingCo title.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better first year,” Habben said. “This team has so much talent from top to bottom.”

Snoqualmie Valley School Board will hold focus groups about possible bondAfter five failed funding measures in recent years, the Snoqualmie Valley School Board will go to the people to hear what they want in a bond measure for schools. At least, a few of the people.
The board at its May 9 meeting set the dates for two public focus groups that will look at school bond options.
