To: All property owners, media

My suspicions about Washington State DOT agenda for a local rural area turnaround at 416th & SR169 are confirmed by WA Representative Lynn Schindler email below FYI . Thank you Representative Schindler!

Freedom is not about ignoring local rural farmers regarding the use of their own property whether it is over regulating extreme controls for traffic, land, water or wildlife.

We no longer have truth in American government, let alone freedom or a government of "We The People".

We need a miracle to stop this government nonsense. Only the truth can set us free from such government tyranny. Power centers in Seattle, Olympia, Washington DC and New York are ruling this country.

The State, counties, cities and federal government are going around private property owners constitutional and natural rights shoving in their own agenda. The WA State DOT needs to be corralled, dehorned & neutered.

This is exactly the same tactic King County Council used on us rural folks during the taking of our land via the so called critical area ordinance. The correct title should have been the critical land taking hoax.

My guess is that The State DOT, King County, City of Enumclaw, U.S. Dept. of Interior, Rainier National Park and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service and all the local environmental extremists have all conspired together. Its an inside government deal before hand to push onto the locals with a mock meeting and comment period. It is all a rouse.

These comments will only be used if they are in the government's favor or near enough they can be manipulated. They will not be used until someone takes them to court.

Then the government attorney for the city, county, State and Fed., will pull out the dusty public comments and wave them and tell the judge, see your honor, the people have spoken. And the government judge will say, yes indeed they have, and I rule for the government, by the government and of the government, so help me God! Eminent domain those adjoining farmer's land for the good of the State. Case closed, court dismissed. Next case of taking.

They dismissed all the comments made by the farmers in my area, took sections of their land and constructed a round-a-bout in farm country. I understand and sympathize and wish you the best. If you succeed where my farmers and I failed, I will see how to fight them in the future. Lynn

Washington State has sprung a plan to install a European style "roundabout" on the rural road 416th Ave SE and SR 169, the Enumclaw - Renton route. The intersection borders 3 farms and a gas & market store. This is 1 mile from my land.

You can check out the DOT marketing above and my first letter to DOT
The first step in responding, is to consider the source, i.e. WA State DOT. You can check the DOT's arrogant history at this site https://www.effwa.org/main/search.php. The DOT is one of the most political used and abused groups in the State, thereby corrupted.
The next step is to look at what they don't tell you. Who is really behind this million dollar European rural obstruction plan, e.g. sustaining development, smart growth, UN Agenda 21, Seattle based environmental extreme groups, etc. This plan smacks of urban planning nonsense.
You will notice their first reason is safety and they quote 14 accidents in 5 years. We have accidents all over the Enumclaw plateau because drivers like to run stop signs and lights when they can. We have crosses on many intersections where there have been fatalities. So does that mean we install stop lights and stop signs at every intersection on the plateau?
If Auburn City government was running the show, they would also add cameras to photograph your license plates. King County DDES has a program now to encouraging neighbors to rat on other neighbors.
King County, State and Federal BIA allowed and encouraged a 20,000 seat amphitheater on private property on the plateau that messes up traffic 40 times a year.
King County spends taxpayers money buying up dairy farms so they can't use their property for development. Then the milk prices plummet and the dairy goes out of business and the land is useless. Half the farm is sold and both halves cannot sustain any business. It is useless land now. However, would you be surprised, it is prime development land worth a fortune in the free market. Incredible views but it is State owned or at least controlled now at the tax payers expense forever.
A smart tax payer will note how long and how much effort the State has spent to set the idea up vs. coming to us first, i.e. the agenda.
The government agenda is often different from what they say. e.g. We learned from King County regarding the CAO is they set up what they want to do and then they stage a mock public meeting giving you 2 minutes and call it good to go. i.e. King County had no intention of stopping the illegitimate CAO based on unpopularity of it with the rural community. The CAO was all Seattle based environmental liberal extremism to shove it down our throats.
You will notice we do are told how many people and who are asking for this European roundabout in the middle of farm land.
Will we be shown all comments submitted with a tally including the property address from the local area around the intersection?
Will the local neighboring farms to this intersection have more weight on the decision?
Funny how the State can come up with money for marginal improvements while we have major problems elsewhere. The State Fish and Game installed a $100,000 concrete fish bunker on a near by intersection, 244th & 424th. There was no need for that. That intersection has several crosses on and near it from drive through fatalities. Never mind the people, normal culverts are not good enough for the fish, give em concrete.
The intersection of 416th and 244th has ditch water over flow during the winter high rain high water table days. King County will not touch the ditches that need to be clean out so the adjoining land can drain
The State does not tell you the reason we have traffic accidents & problems on 416th & SR169 is because the City of Enumclaw decided to eminent domain half of the Rainier Stables farm and build a middle school directly on ST 169 just a few blocks south of this intersection.
14 accidents over the last 5 years corresponds to this new middle school construction. It was a terrible choice on location. Whoever heard of placing a grade school directly on a State Route highway going to a major ski resort (Crystal Mountain) and national park(Rainier)? Once again we see the law of cascading unintended consequences caused by government. If government touches gold, it turns to worthless fiat money.
Don't get me wrong, I love Enumclaw, it is my home town in King Communist County, close to my little 10 acre paradise .
Don't forget the rural farmers here cannot use their land and/or have limited use because of the illegitimate CAO & GMA & the failure of the Property Fairness Initiative (42%/58%). i.e. mostly Seattle vote turned it down based on lying & cheating.
Can you see the picture? The government pushes its bloated self all over everyone out here against their wishes.
I speculate, based on prior experiences, that the decision has already been made on this cute little impractical European intersection.
Washington State and King County are no friends of the rural property owners, in fact they are our worst enemies.
A million dollar urban type intersection for a rural farm area is not the solution here.
The State, King County and Enumclaw government are all of a sudden concerned about safety because they now realize the Enumclaw Thunder Mountain Middle School was a very foolish location to build a grade school. State Route and grade school kids do not mix well.
The answer here is to reroute SR169 around Enumclaw and this school. We have three major State Route going through the little town of Enumclaw. This is insane. All three routes need to go around the town not through it. This would solve most of the safety problems.
This proposed fix is a band aid.
A better band aid fix until all three State Routes can be rerouted around Enumclaw is the following. Add a center turn land on SR169 so traffic coming from 416th can more easily get on. Also add exit turn lanes north and south bound SR169 onto 416th so people can get off easier without slowing everybody else down. No maintenance, no lights, perhaps less land to take?
The government does everything upside down and backwards because they have no common sense just government sense which is nonsense.
How many traffic injuries and deaths in the State and King County compared to this one intersection on rural farm land? There are so many other traffic priorities beyond this one intersection.

Lastly, I would like to leave you with this picture and thought. Ask yourself why the State has raised the seat belt fine and even why their is a seat belt law. The answer we have come up with is to generate more money. Americans have to start understanding that the government no longer and never was our friend. The laws are not made to protect us, they are made to protect the government and generate more for them and less for us. Ever piece of legislation in Olympia takes away our freedoms. They are mostly political correct takings of no use to any independent freedom loving person.

If the government could legislate a cure for death, they would do it, not for you, but to tax you to death
