SCOOP: King County Executive Dow Constantine plans to close the county jail in downtown Seattle—and build no new facilities to replace it.
I've obtained a leaked email outlining the plan.

On Thursday, officials will announce a "phased closing of the Seattle jail" and a plan replace it with "prevention, diversion, rehabilitation, and harm reduction" programs. Additionally, the county will end all youth detention by 2025.
This is a radical escalation in the agenda of "abolishing the police" and "abolishing prisons." This policy would eliminate nearly 60 percent of King County's jail capacity—and lead to the early release of violent criminals. /end
UPDATE: my sources tell me King County corrections officers are preparing themselves for mass layoffs. Frustration, chaos, and disbelief among jail staff.
Now the "Promise" program that allowed the school shooting in Parkland, FL, is being expanded beyond youth to the entire criminal justice system!!!
Obtain a records request of Dow's communications (including texts) since the beginning of the lockdown. Let me know if you need help searching through the archive.
He's up for re-election in 2021. This could be the end of him....
Not if the only people running against him are even crazier. I moved out of King County in May. It's too insane and unsafe for me.
I'm pretty sure Seattle govt had a social distancing violating party where they smoked some brain damaging weed or something. They seem to all be on the same drug. The public doesn't support them, even shown by a Crosscut poll.....not good electorally.
I’m okay with them ruining their own cities. It’s going to long and tough lesson but so be it.
They've brought it on themselves.
