The plaintiffs, in essence, wanted the court to require DHS to stop housing kids in hotels or offices. Neither party is waiving argument, but the interim settlement agreement means that the plaintiffs have agreed that putting a child up in a hotel temporarily, for the time period in the agreement, is an acceptable exception to what they argue is a generally “nonpermissible” practice. DHS has said that beds for children in foster care are increasingly scarce; since this summer, it has been under scrutiny both for persistent safety problems and for putting children up temporarily in hotels and its field offices. Some foster children have also been held in juvenile detention or in hospitals when they no longer needed a high level of medical care. DHS, under the agree- ment, also must not “seek” to place kids in detention centers temporarily. At least one foster child in Deschutes County has been held in the local juvenile detention facility. The agency must not also keep children in hospitals in the absence of a medical purpose, unless the child faces a safety risk. Child welfare issues will likely continue to be the subject of discussion going into the legislative session, which is scheduled to get underway in February. In late August, a consulting firm found the state had a number of gaps in how safety issues are reported and addressed in the foster care system. The governor’s new foster care advisory commission will study foster care issues and recommend legislation. 0 0-2, Low 3-5, Moderate 6-7, High; 8-10, Very High; 11+, Extreme SUBSCRIPTION RATES Local home delivery Savings off cover price EZPay $14.50 41 percent 52 weeks $173.67 41 percent 26 weeks $91.86 38 percent 13 weeks $47.77 36 percent *EZ Pay = one-year rate with a monthly credit or debit card/check charge Parties reach settlement in DHS lawsuit 1 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. Didn’t receive your paper?

The department is defending itself against a lawsuit filed by children’s advocates challenging its practice of housing foster children in those settings. The department and plain- tiffs in the lawsuit reached an interim settlement agreement earlier this month. The agreement, publicly announced Tuesday, states that effective Dec. 31, DHS will cease placing children overnight in DHS offices unless there is no “available and safe hotel” within 30 miles or 30 minutes of the office. DHS has agreed to not house children in its care for more than two nights in a DHS office prior to Dec. 31. The agreement also says that foster children will be placed in hotels only in “emergency circumstances” where no “safe or appro- priate” licensed residential placement or certified foster home is available. Further, a foster child who is housed temporarily in DHS offices or hotels must continue to attend the school or daycare in which he or she is enrolled, according to the agreement. Settlement talks continue in the case, according to Youth Rights and Justice, a Portland group that is providing legal representation to the two young plaintiffs. The parties have agreed to stay all action in the lawsuit while confidential settlement discussions continue.

The Seattle Times reports the typical single-family home across King, Snohomish and Pierce counties cost 11 percent more in September than a year prior, according to the monthly Case-Shiller home price index released Tuesday. That marked the biggest increase among the 20 major metro areas covered. Seattle narrowly topped Portland, percent. For the prior eight months, Seattle had seen its home-price growth sit second in the country behind Port- land. Overall, Seattle prices are rising twice as fast as the rest of the country, as they have for most of this year. The Seattle area had already broken its old record earlier this year after seeing prices rise for more than four straight years. The region has seen home values jump nearly 60 percent since early 2012. Seattle-area home values are the fifth-priciest among the 50 biggest metro areas in the country, behind San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles and ysis. In the past year, Greater Seattle surpassed the Boston, New York and Washington, D.C., metro areas on the list of most expensive regions to buy a house. The Zillow data shows that home values across the Seattle metro area — King, Pierce and Snohomish counties — topped $400,000 for the first time a few months ago, up from $300,000 just three years prior. The latest figures from the North- west Multiple Listing Service showed the median single-family house in October cost $550,000 in King County, $387,000 in Snohomish County and $280,000 in Pierce County. Eugene police arrest man 7 days after initial standoff EUGENE (AP) — Eugene police have arrested a man seven days after he held them at bay in a six-hour standoff. The Register Guard reports Tuesday that 26-year-old Joshua Austin Thomas was booked into Lane County Jail late Monday on suspicion of violating parole, menacing, being a felon in possession of a weapon, unlawful use of a weapon, as well as interfering with making a report. The newspaper previously reported that Thomas, of Eugene, held police at bay for hours on Nov. 22 until police command staff decided to retreat and come back later to arrest Thomas. That decision drew the ire of the Eugene Police Employees Association. The police union released a letter that said the decision as “unethical, cowardly and irresponsible.” Thomas eluded officers again on Nov. 23 and once more on Saturday.
