Seattle police report a net gain of one officer in 2024, breaking four-year streak
By Spencer Pauley
The Seattle Police Department had a net gain of one officer in 2024, breaking a four-year streak of a net loss of officers.
City leaders have identified the need to boost staffing within the Seattle Police Department after a mass exodus of officers leaving the force since 2020. The staffing levels reached the department’s lowest levels in some 30 years in March of last year.
According to the latest statistics, SPD hired 84 entry-level and lateral officers, as 83 separated. The city had 933 deployable officers as of Aug. 31, 2024, which is 20 more than the 913 in 2023.
From 2020 through 2023, the
department suffered from separations outnumbering hires. The worst year was in 2020 when there was a net loss of 135 officers. This was the same year, in which the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest occurred. The protest strained
relations between residents and SPD. Last year SPD received over 4,300 officer applications, the most since 2013 and more than double the
New Seattle police chief set to assume office in late January or early February
By Spencer Pauley
Shon Barnes was announced on Dec. 20 as the next chief of the Seattle Police Department, but he won't assume his new job right away. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell’s office told The Center Square that Barnes is expected to start sometime in late January to early February.
The delay is due in part to the recent mass shooting in Madison, Wis, where Barnes was the city’s police chief.
On Dec. 16, a shooting that led to three deaths – including the juvenile shooter, who was a student – occurred at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis. Barnes was announced as the next Seattle police chief later that week.
Seattle has lacked a
permanent police chief since May, when former Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz resigned from his position amid lawsuits. Diaz was then fired by Harrell last month following an investigation into Diaz’s actions while head of the department.
Interim Chief Sue Rahr has served in the role since Diaz's departure. She will continue to advise and support the department during the transition to Barnes becoming chief.
Barnes has served as the chief of police for Madison since 2021. Harrell’s office previously described Barnes as a nationally recognized leader in reducing crime, improving communitypolice relations, and driving a culture change within the department.

By Michael Whitney The Snohomish County Tribune
MONROE — Gloria Hopkins knew a small celebration would happen for her retirement, but was wowed by how big a deal it would become.
At age 91, she was the state’s oldest classified employee, verified by the state’s human resources division within its Office of Financial Management.
On Dec. 31, Hopkins clocked out for the last time, concluding 27 years of working in accounting at the Monroe Correctional Complex for the state Department of Corrections (DOC).
Her blue eyes widened to see colleagues and family members filling a small conference room in the Twin Rivers Unit of the prison.
“The Legend Has Retired,” a sign declared.
This was her second wind. Before this, Hopkins co-founded and ran a nonprofit recreation center for teens in downtown Monroe for 25 years. She was also the bookkeeper of her husband’s landscaping and excavation business.
The DOC hired her at age 63 in 1997. The job was meant to tide her over before she became eligible for Medicare at age 65, she said.
But the commute was just a mile or so, and the camaraderie couldn’t be beat.
Like all her close friends, her coworkers know her as “G.,” as in gee. They watch out for her, daughter Debra Kolrud said.
Manager Marks Khalmuratov said the tight-knit business office has 15 people. The conference room overflowed with more than 40.
“It’s not a retirement I wanted to do. I love these people, but the body said it was time,” Hopkins said.
All three of her surviving four children came, as did her younger brother Paul, 75, who she goes to lunch with frequently.
“It’s been fun for me and you guys gave me a paycheck besides,” Hopkins told DOC Secretary Cheryl Strange and the DOC deputy secretary in a brief phone call. She was impressed they’d called.
The state gave her a thank-you letter signed by the governor and a plaque.
“She was not one to sit around,” son Mark Hopkins said.
In 1972, Gloria Hopkins co-founded the Monroe Youth Club, a drop-in afterschool center for teens who didn’t fit in.
It was at 212 E. Main St., in the building Pacific Power Batteries uses today. The place had pool tables, foosball, couches and a television. Maybe most importantly, it charged no fee to enter.
In an average year, 700 area teens would
sign their names to enter.
The Police Department helped establish it, Hopkins said. Officers would visit to hang with the teens, and for many years the department brought in an annual Thanksgiving dinner.
“The kids I was dealing with were a different clientele” than typical youth centers, she said. Some were working through issues such as teen pregnancy and strained family relations, she said.
Critics falsely thought the Monroe Youth Center was a den of troublemakers, Hopkins said. It was a dirty misperception.
“I was real strict with the kids - they obey the rules or they’re out” on suspensions, Hopkins said.
The club funded itself through community support, for instance with bingo fundraisers three days a week at the former Oddfellows Hall.
The local economy softened in the mid1990s and it zapped people’s extra spending money. This loss of income at the bingo fundraisers was the Monroe Youth Club’s undoing, Gloria Hopkins said. The center closed in 1997 after a 25-year run.
“To this day, I miss it, I love those kids,” she said.
In her spare time, Hopkins volunteered in the local League of Women Voters and the Lions Club, and had a stint on the city planning commission.
Mark Hopkins said his childhood included his mom taking them to Paine Field’s runway in Everett to watch the jets taking off and landing, eating a packed lunch while sitting on the tailgate of the Ford Country Squire station wagon.
Or, they’d go off in their ex-military Willys M38 jeep with her tooling around in the wilderness areas near Sultan and Startup, or take road trips. (Decades later, Mark Hopkins conducted a three-year, frame-up restoration of the same jeep.)
Born in Redmond, and one of five siblings, Gloria Hopkins married and started a family. They spent a winter or two in Fairbanks, Alaska before moving back to the Seattle area.
The family came to Monroe in 1967, Kolrud said.
When they arrived, Main and Lewis streets had the town’s only stoplight, Hopkins said.
“I knew I was the oldest in (the) DOC” but not the state, Hopkins said at her party.
She wasn’t wanting a big party. It seems it just happened that way. A boss of hers set it up.
The DOC has only one other employee over 80 years old among its more than 9,000 employees, DOC spokesman Chris Wright said.

Dear Savvy Senior, What types of mental health services does Medicare cover?
I struggle with anxiety and depression, and my primary care provider recommended I see a therapist or psychiatrist. Anxious Annie
Dear Annie,
Medicare actually covers both outpatient and inpatient mental health care services and programs to help beneficiaries with anxiety, depression and many other mental health needs. Here what you should know.
OUTPATIENT COVERAGE
If you’re enrolled in original Medicare, your Part B coverage will pay 80 percent (after you’ve met your annual $257 Part B deductible) for a variety of counseling and mental health care services that are provided outside a hospital, such as in a doctor or therapist’s office, hospital outpatient department or community health center. These services can also be received via telehealth.
You, or your Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, is responsible for the remaining 20 percent coinsurance.
Medicare also gives you the expanded option of getting treatment through a variety of health professionals such as psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical nurse specialists, clinical social workers, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, marriage and family therapists and mental health counselors.
To get this coverage, you’ll need to choose a participating provider that accepts Medicare assignment, which means they accept Medicare’s approved amount as full payment for a service.
If you choose a nonparticipating provider who accepts Medicare but does not agree to Medicare’s payment rate, you may have to pay more. And if you choose an opt-out provider that does not accept Medicare payments at all, you will be responsible for the entire cost.
To locate a mental health care professional in your area that accepts Medicare,
go to Medicare.gov/care-compare, click on “doctors & clinicians” and type in your location, followed by “clinical psychologist” or “psychiatry” in the Name & Keyword box. You can also get this information by calling Medicare at 800-633-4227.
INPATIENT COVERAGE
If you happen to need mental health services in either a general or psychiatric hospital, original Medicare Part A covers this too, after you’ve met your $1,676 Part A deductible. Your doctor should determine which hospital setting you need. If you receive care in a psychiatric hospital, Medicare covers up to 190 days of inpatient care for your lifetime. And if you use your lifetime days but need additional care, Medicare may cover additional inpatient care at a general hospital.
ADDITIONAL COVERAGE
In addition to the outpatient and inpatient mental health services, Medicare also covers yearly depression screenings that must be done in a primary care doctor’s office or clinic. Annual depression screenings are covered 100 percent.
And if you have a Medicare prescription drug plan, most medications used to treat mental health conditions are covered too.
MEDICARE ADVANTAGE COVERAGE
If you get your Medicare benefits through a private Medicare Advantage plan, they too provide the same coverage as original Medicare does, but may impose different rules and will likely require you to see an in-network provider. You’ll need to contact your plan directly for details. For more information, call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and request a copy of publication #10184 “Medicare & Your Mental Health Benefits,” or you can read it online at Medicare.gov.

Seattle City Council Chair Sara Nelson says there’s more work to be done on public safety even after more than 10 related bills were passed in 2024.
In the first year of the new influx of city council members, 14 public safety-related bills were approved and signed into law, the most since 2015, according to Nelson. The city council prioritized public safety after crime surged following the COViD-19 pandemic that started in 2020. Seattle crime statistics in 2024 are showing signs of improvement but are still considered high. “It’s not the number of bills adopted that matters but rather what that number represents,” Nelson said in a statement. “This council is leading on what the voters elected us to do: reduce crime and improve public safety in a comprehensive and compassionate manner.”
Approved legislation from last year
includes the Stay Out of Drug Area, or SODA, and Stay Out of Area of Prostitution, or SOAP, zones ordinances, which intend to disrupt drug-related crime and sex trafficking crimes in certain areas throughout Seattle.
Other notable passed legislation includes approving a contract with the Seattle Police
STOCK
Officers Guild, permanent hiring incentives and increased bonuses for lateral hires, and streamlining the hiring processes for police officers. These bills were intended to boost the Seattle Police Department’s staffing levels, which were at an all-time low last year.
A press release from Nelson’s office notes

A year after a door plug blew out of an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX midflight, a Federal Aviation Administration official says the company is in need of “a fundamental cultural shift … oriented around safety and quality above profits.”
A Thursday blog by FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker detailed how the federal agency responded after the incident, including the ensuing investigation, as well as the resulting oversight and safety protocol changes at Boeing.
On Friday, Boeing issued a news release on the company’s Safety and Quality Plan, which focused on “investing in workforce training, simplifying plans and processes, eliminating defects, and elevating our safety and quality culture.”
Alaska Airlines flight 1282 left Portland International Airport on Jan. 5, 2024, headed for Ontario, California. Shortly after takeoff, a door panel blew out, causing the plane to rapidly depressurize. The aircraft returned to Portland for an emergency landing. All 171 passengers and six crew members survived, with a few passengers treated for minor injuries.
Dozens who were on board have filed lawsuits against Boeing, Alaska Airlines and Spirit AeroSystems.
The FAA grounded all Boeing 737-9 MAX
From page 1
aircraft operated by U.S. airlines and Boeing halted production of the Boeing 737 MAX at its facility in Renton, Wash.
A month after the incident, a National Transportation Safety Board report concluded that four bolts securing the door plug were missing. The bolts had not been replaced after repairs. The FAA sent inspectors to production facilities and conducted an in-depth audit of the production line, simultaneously ordering Boeing “to develop a comprehensive plan to fix its systemic production quality problems,” Whitaker noted in his blog.
Soon after the incident, the FAA also emphasized an employee whistleblower hotline.
“Because of our work, we received a surge in employee safety reports during the past year, and that’s encouraging,” Whitaker continued. “An increase in reports –whether at a manufacturer,
an airline or at the FAA –can be one sign of a healthy safety culture.
Boeing outlined steps it has taken since the incident in a news release emailed to The Center Square.
Investments in workforce training include “mandatory Product Safety and Quality Training for all employees, strengthened training for mechanics and quality inspectors with an enhanced support system, including workplace coaches, peer trainers, and skill enhancement centers, and the addition of hundreds of hours of new curriculum to training programs.”
Close oversight by the FAA continues, according to Whitaker.
“This is not a one-year project,” he wrote. “What’s needed is a fundamental cultural shift at Boeing that’s oriented around safety and quality above profits. That will require sustained effort and commitment
thefts, a
from Boeing, and unwavering scrutiny on our part.”
Last year was costly for Boeing in other ways, too. Company machinists went on strike in a contract dispute that lasted more than 50 days, idling the aerospace giant’s aircraft production.
As reported by The Center Square, the offer ultimately accepted by striking members included a 38% general wage increase over four years, a $12,000 ratification payment, and an annual bonus incentive plan with a guaranteed minimum payout of 4%.
During the strike, Boeing also announced plans to lay off 10% of its workforce, which amounts to some 17,000 employees. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg said the strike was not to blame for the layoffs, but rather the result of overstaffing.
that applications to the Seattle Police Department rose sharply by the third quarter of 2024 as a result of the approved bills. This led to the first net positive increase in the number of deployable officers since 2020.
Nelson has emphasized the city take action based on recommendations from a 2024 audit that addresses places in Seattle where overdoses and crime are concentrated. The audit recommends a placebased approach to crime hotspots to best target limited police and human service resources.
In her press release, Nelson added that the council has a lot of work to do this year with the inclusion of approving a comprehensive plan update and filling its District 2 vacancy after Tammy Morales resignation took effect on Monday.
“We have a lot on our plate this year ... but we cannot lose momentum on public safety because there’s so much more work to be done,” Nelson said.

The city also simplified the hiring process and reduced the hiring wait time from five to nine months to three to five months.
The Center Square recently reported on Seattle City Chair Sara Nelson calling for the city to continue prioritizing public safety. Nelson has been an outspoken leader in efforts to boost SPD staffing.
“This is excellent news! Nothing is more important to improving public safety in Seattle than bringing SPD staffing levels back up and that’s been my focus from day one,” Nelson said. Corrections and Clarifications

Devastating fires continued to burn across Southern California Wednesday, with homes and other buildings destroyed in Los Angeles County.
Five people have been confirmed dead so far, with hundreds injured as they race to flee the flames.
Making matters even worse, some families who have lost their homes will not be reimbursed through homeowners insurance policies.
That’s in part due to the exodus of insurance companies from California due to the rising losses from wildfires in the state.
As reported by Newsweek, several private insurers cut coverage in at-risk areas in California in the last couple of years as state regulators prevented companies from raising premiums to match their growing risk.
The Center Square contacted the Office of the Washington State Insurance Commissioner to ask about wildfire coverage for homeowners in
Aaron VanTuyl, a communications manager with the agency’s Public Affairs office, said anyone with a basic homeowner’s policy in Washington is covered for fire risk but cautioned policyholders should review their coverage.
“That’s a very sad thing we saw after the Gray and Oregon Road Fires with a lot of people who just didn’t have enough insurance coverage hitting their policy limit,” VanTuyl explained.
He was referring to the August 2023 fires in Spokane County, which destroyed hundreds of structures, burned tens of thousands of acres, and claimed the lives of two people.
“We recommend you talk to your agent or broker once a year to check everything out, and make sure you have enough coverage, including additional living expense coverage,” VanTuyl added.
He noted many policies do not include coverage for extended stays in another location if your home is destroyed, or for debris removal after a
fire, so that’s another thing to check on.
VanTuyl noted the price of building materials and labor has gone up so much in recent years, advising homeowners to check their policies to make sure they are covered enough to rebuild.
“It’s the value to rebuild your home that you have to look at, and it’s good to make sure you’ve got coverage that updates to align with whatever new building codes there are if you have to rebuild,” he continued.
Given western Washington’s earthquake risk – the second highest in the nation – standard policies do not cover earthquake damage.
“It’s separate and expensive, so most people don’t have it,” VanTuyl pointed out.
According to Insurify.com, earthquake coverage typically has a high deductible of 10% to 25% of the structure’s policy limit. Some insurers require an inspection of the property, expensive upgrades like bolting a home to the foundation, and strapping in fixtures like water heaters to obtain earthquake coverage.

Everyone knows there’s no cure for the common cold. Though colds can strike at any time, cold season tends to occur when the weather cools down and people spend more time indoors. Inside viruses can circulate and spread more easily, thus leading to elevated rates of infection.
Though there might be no cure for the common cold, that does not mean people are helpless against it. Many people have their own remedies to help them manage and potentially shorten the duration of a cold, and chicken soup features prominently in those antidotes. Whether cold season is kicking into high gear or people are confronting the common cold at other times of year, they can incorporate this recipe for “Chicken Barley Soup with Vegetables courtesy of Lines+Angles into their cold remedy routines.
CHICKEN BARLEY SOUP WITH VEGETABLES Makes 6 servings

Budget deficit may mean

abuse treatment programs
effectiveness was phrased to include terms "addict" and "clean and sober."
A prominent state senator indicated that fiscal reality could mean prioritizing and protecting substance abuse recovery programs that are already working over any plans to expand them.
Washington state is facing a projected operating budget deficit of between $10 billion and $16 billion over the next four years.
“I want to be realistic, but I am also optimistic and have faith in my fellow legislators and for me, success really means that we are protecting the programs that are already in play,” Sen. Manka Dhingra, D-Redmond, said at a Monday morning virtual meeting of the Substance Use Recovery Services Advisory Committee, or SURSAC, that included legislative priorities for the upcoming session. “I’m not optimistic enough to talk about expansion.”
According to the Washington Health Care Authority, SURSAC includes a panel of individuals with lived experience, legislative representation, and subject matter expertise related to behavioral health community needs, harm reduction, outreach, treatment and recovery support services. The committee provides policy recommendations to the Legislature.
Rep. Travis Couture, RAllyn, has pre-filed House Bill 1092 that would protect children from parents abusing illicit drugs, including fentanyl, which The Center Square asked Dhingra about. She said she would not comment without having read the legislation.
In response to a question about the use of empirical data regarding the effectiveness of substance abuse recovery programs, Dhingra pushed back.
“This is sounding like a press conference,” she said, “but we are always wanting to be data-driven and evidence-based in what we do, and that is not going to change.”
SURSAC member Malika Lamont also took issue with the way the question about measuring substance abuse recovery program
“As a member of this group, I just want to bring it forward that it’s unfortunate that we experienced what we just experienced,” she said in reference to The Center Square’s query. “Somebody coming into this meeting and using really discriminatory language against people that have experienced SUD [substance use disorder] … I’m hoping we can do a better job managing the conversation.”
In a chat message during the virtual meeting, she provided a link to a personfirst language website that advocates for things like using “someone who uses substances” in place of “addict.”
“We had a practice in the past where we had a practice of using people-first language and being respectful in our language, and so I would ask that we get back into that practice because there are people who are joining us who are not familiar with that and brought in really disrespectful language,” Lamont continued. “So I would ask we make an effort to have a culture of respect so far as the language we use when we’re talking about people.”
The committee expressed a desire to fully implement Senate Bill 6109, which was passed during the 2024 legislative session. SB 6109 expands the reach of Child Protective Services by allowing CPS to further intervene in cases where parents or caregivers struggle with substance use disorders.
Couture told The Center Square that the legislation did not go far enough, and he will try once again to clean up House Bill 1227, which was passed by the Legislature and signed into law in 2021 and is known as the “Keeping Families Together Act.” HB 1227 raised the legal standard for removing a child from the home after a report of abuse or neglect.
Couture contends HB 1227 “allows parents to abuse hard drugs while the state does not remove those children from the home.”
The 105-day legislative session convenes on Jan. 13.
