Only in Seattle can a landlord be forced to jump through procedural hoops to make improvements to renters lives in a historically inconsequential building just because some city employees moonlighting as Facebook trolls want them to pay extra to fix leaky windows.
Push The NeedleThe owner wants to replace the windows with in-kind versions to remove leaks and draftiness for their residents. Landmarks is now saying the state law doesn’t matter and because they designated it late they still want a $50,000 window assessment which makes housing cost more passing that to renters
The new Seattle Police Chief ALSO has his full time residence out of state. His wife & kids live in Wisconsin.
The NeedlingToday Mayor Katie Wilson announced she’s already fired Seattle’s next police chief after he somehow teargassed Capitol Hill, deleted public records, hired someone to have an affair on the job with, and threatened to fight a reporter all before 9 a.m.
OMG @theneedling.com here’s another one! Why do we have these top cops who refuse to live here? If a cop can’t be bothered to move here, it indicates they DGAF about the city and are a terrible fit for Seattle
Erica C. BarnettOne thing I’ll try to ask about at rhe presser today, and which I exclusively reported in my piece: how much is the new acting chief in town, given that (like Barnes) he rents here while his family lives out of state, in Wisconsin?
Hollingsworth and Rivera are shameless grifters. It’s NOT reckless to remove a violent loose cannon from a dept that lacks basic investigative protocols. Rivera calling Wilson “incompetent” is a fascinating illustration of Dunning-Kruger in practice

The bare MINIMUM qualification for the next Seattle Police Chief must she that they live IN Seattle. Not Chicago. Not Snohomish. Not Kent. Not Cle Elum. Seattle. Full time. With their family. With their kids (if any) attending public schools not one of the many Seattle segregation academies.

We have Erica Barnes to thank for tireless reporting that led to the firing of this toxic police chief. As well as Connor Nash, who had the fortitude to be a journalist in the room when Seattle Times & TV News refuse. Support Erica at publicola.com/support/ & Connor at southseattleemerald.org/donate

BarnettHearing on good authority that Police Chief Shon Barnes has just been fired. He just left the mayor's office this evening after being inside for quite a while. Barnes is currently calling around the police department to tell his captains. Still waiting on confirmation from mayor's office and SPD.
