Narrative:
While on downwind we were cleared to land on 34 left; with no other planes in the pattern. On short final; with all strobes and alternate flashing (wig-wag) headlights operating; our aircraft was at 100 feet AGL and over the threshold; tower cleared a single engine aircraft to depart on 34L in front of us. Another tower controller immediately came on the radio and directed the incursion aircraft to immediately halt and hold position. It complied; but was on the runway side of the hold short line. We were instructed to 'go-around' and turn crosswind at our discretion. We climbed to 1;000 feet MSL and entered downwind. The tower then released the incursion aircraft cleared to depart 34L. We were again cleared to land 34L. Pae ground stated 'training' was being conducted.
