HeraldNet.com - Everett and Snohomish County news from The Daily Herald in Everett, Washington
I was disappointed to read the recent article regarding Sheriff Adam Fortney’s recent fundraiser (“Fortney to host far-right Arizona sheriff for campaign fundraiser,” The Herald, July 21). Sheriff Adam Fortney has deftly managed the Sheriff’s Office through a difficult period which has included a pandemic and probably the largest contraction ever in law enforcement personnel resources in Washington state. Like other communities up and down the West Coast, Snohomish County has been awash in fentanyl-fueled illegal encampments while the law enforcement and courts of this region have had an overwhelming resource crisis.
