Top officials in #Seattle and #KingCounty now being notified. Full statement below. Developing story.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
DONES QUITS: This is Marc Dones with his opening monologue at the KCRHA(@KingCoRHA) Implementation Board Meeting on May 10. There was no indication he would actually resign. He's been under tremendous pressure and scrutiny after a series of major missteps and performance failures… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FLOOD GATES HAVE OPENED: Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, King County Executive Dow Constantine, KCRHA Governing Committee with this joint statement. #Seattle#KingCounty
GROSS MISMANAGEMENT: It's been an awful year for CEO Marc Dones. Just a few days ago, I posted a list of recent failures under Dones' watch. And I asked if it could get any worse for Dones. I guess not since he quit.
CRISIS MANAGEMENT WASN'T ENOUGH: Earlier this month, KCRHA dropped this promo video featuring embattled CEO Marc Dones who rarely takes questions from the media. It launched as his agency was being accused of incompetence and mismanagement. #Seattle
BACKING QUESTIONABLE PROVIDERS: KCRHA is still being scrutinized for it's relationship with The Lived Experience Coalition. Back in February, nearly 40 homeless men/women were kicked out of a hotel for alleged violations under the LEC's watch. #Seattle
STUNNING REBUKE: Again in Feb, lawmakers picking apart CEO Marc Dones and his "wrong" interpretation of @GovInslee's Right of Way Initiative. Dones' insistence on "permanent housing" delayed King County encampment sweeps. #Seattle @kcexec @MayorofSeattle
FINAL WORD: Gov. Inslee confirmed proviso language DOES NOT require offers of "permanent housing " to homeless on state right of ways. DIRECT rebuke of @KingCoRHA CEO Marc Dones' interpretation. #Seattle
DON'T MESS WITH PARENTS: In March, parents at John Stanford Int. School and neighbors protested after @wsdot and KCRHA( @KingCoRHA) failed to remove the Ship Canal Bridge encampment, the scene of multiple shootings, fires, and deaths. #Seattle
ANYONE NEED A JOB? One of several being offered by KCRHA. Title: Deputy Chief Community Impact Officer Salary Range: $120,000-$140,000 Perks: UNLIMITED VACATION, 96 hours of paid sick and safe(no idea what the later means), etc. 💵📷
NEW: Border Czar Tom Homan needs to scrutinize the un-American actions of La Resistencia, a far-left activist group that wants to abolish ICE and shut down the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA.
Once again, protesters disrupted my coverage. 🧵👇
Their founder and leader is Maru Mora Villalpando, a green-card holder from Mexico.
A few months ago, she tried to bully me at Boeing Field in Seattle, where illegals are being flown out for deportation. But she doesn't know the First Amendment.
Villalpando needs a damn primer on what it means to be a green-card holder.
NEW: Issaquah, WA cops say a 55 year old woman is facing charges for Malicious Mischief in the Third Degree for her role in the Tesla keying incident that has now gone viral.
After multiple leads, I can confidently say the suspect is Kamelia Enzler. 🧵👇
Enzler lives in Bellevue, which is only a 10 minute drive from the location of this incident.
Several neighbors spotted her now infamous white Toyota 4Runner in the driveway with the matching license plate and bike rack. The Internet wins again.
Enzler has wiped her social media profiles and is now laying low according to people who know her.
NEW: Never imagined my eyes would be bleeding after researching a story about government waste.
But credit @Wake_upWA for exposing how taxpayer dollars funded a Seattle men's masturbation club called "Rain City Jacks."
Founder Paul Rosenberg discusses his ethos on sex.

BREAKING: After two years of hell, Bellevue deadbeat tenants Sang and Youjin Kim have finally been kicked out of their rental property.
After numerous legal rulings against them, the Kim's were supposed to vacate by Saturday. But they went past the deadline and left a mess.🧵👇
It's unclear where the Kim's are headed. But they have kids in the Bellevue school district and it appears they have found another property. If they are renting, good luck to the landlord.
Reality is, housing court is still backed up, evictions are delayed, and mom & pop landlords are losing rights.
The Kim's and other serial squatters are just taking advantage of failed polices pushed by lawmakers such as former State Sen. Patty Kuderer.
Nice job @UnderWashington for calling out the WA Democrats who care more about the rights of pedophiles and groomers. Parents and child advocates should be hammering these lawmakers. The contact list is below. 🧵👇
Looks like King County activist judge Veronica Galvan is celebrating a banner year of releasing violent offenders.
Last month she allowed Millorz Canales to be on home detention even though prosecutors wanted him to remain behind bars.
Several days later, he allegedly went on a rampage, tying a 14 year old to a tree, stabbing him multiple times, cutting out his organs, and leaving him to die.
Canales was arrested again and is now facing new charges.
So who’s holding Galvan accountable for her troubling decisions on the bench?
