AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Seattle Police Shake-Up: Mayor Katie Wilson accepted Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes’ resignation after backlash over the city’s slow public updates following the Bite of Seattle festival shooting; Deputy Chief Andre Sayles was named interim chief as the mayor apologized for a five-hour information delay and City Council members demanded answers. Immigration Detention: A Ninth Circuit ruling says many detained immigrants in Tacoma’s ICE center are entitled to bond hearings, potentially affecting hundreds across the western states covered by the court. Local Elections: Asotin County sheriff candidate Blake Richards picked up endorsements from nine Washington sheriffs ahead of the Aug. 4 election. Spokane Housing: Spokane City Council passed a “Renter’s Right to Cooling” ordinance requiring landlords to provide AC if requested, with tenant remedies if they don’t. Legal/Schools: Washington Superintendent Chris Reykdal pushed back on a federal inquiry into student record disclosure policies, saying state law already complies with parents’ rights. Public Safety/Crime: Tacoma police are searching for a man accused of armed robberies who allegedly ditched his GPS ankle monitor.
