The Constitutional Sheriff is an important piece of the liberty pie. The sheriff stands between not only local government and the citizens, but the federal government as well. When a government tries to remove this safeguard, they don't have your safety nor your interests in mind. Creating jobs for their minions is just another method of waste, fraud, and abuse. Get rid of all of them. Especially the RINO. At least we know the Democrats stand for this garbage. No excuse, but at least they're honest. RINOs are the most despicable of all because they claim to be something they're not.
I cannoto understand WHY RINO TRASH is NOT BARRED from the PARTY...I write to the RNC and ask them to barr these COMMiES but nothing happens. One day SOON we won't need to worry about ANY OF THEM. God is going to exact His retribution and THEY will rue the day when they turned against their fellow man. They have NO ONE to blame--except THEMSELVES.
It seems to me that this “ overlord “ of your county needs to be removed via voters and or constitutional arrest for violating the constitution of the State or Federal Constitution. As other people have pointed out the elected “ RINO ( S) “ are as much a danger to a REPUBLIC as a TRAITOR because that’s exactly what they are !
A sheriff is the utmost constitutional authority and law within their respective county, the only law enforcement position in the nation that is voted by We The People! So of course Bob Ferguson knows this and he will do anything to take that away so the tyrants have zero road blocks preventing WA state gov from being a totalitarian government he and Inslee have tried in last 12 years, for the Sheriff stands in their way of unconstitutional gun laws, and other laws under WA state constitution and federal constitution…….I will stand behind locked ,loaded and ready 24/7 to protect those sheriff’s that protect us from tyranny and other crimes to my last breath !
I'm commenting from Clallam County where we are having the same problems. Our issues are being highlighted by the Clallam County Watchdog blog, very similar to yours.
Seems we're just good at griping vs. doing something about the problem. There's some history behind this, but I'll be following closely what happens with your recall.
A question. Is there someone with a reasonable brain in the wings waiting to run if your recall goes to plan?
In our case, I dare say no. Too many retirees and hard working conservatives don't want to be that involved. Throw in the marxist WA state laws that support NGOs with world order views, possibly the most powerful indian tribe in the country (Jamestown S'klallam), and the elected officials leaders we get are so far left that it'll make your head spin.
There are some inaccurate statements and misinformation being stated… the Sheriff’s Department is fully funded and has more employees than past administrations. Just because divisions of the department are being removed from his direct supervision does not mean his department isn’t being funded so your statement is inaccurate and misleading!
You made claims of meetings being held in private regarding the jail oversight being transferred which is also misinformation as you and others can look back at all the previous minutes from workshops and commissioner meetings to see it was discussed. You just have to do the homework yourself. Now there were meetings conducted regarding the investigation into the wrongful deaths that took place in the jail that were not open to the public due to it being an open investigation. Your law enforcement partners can explain that to you.
So please do better when reporting the so called facts!
Inspired by your original CS post - which was shared to a place where I saw it - I wrote about this same problem here in Delaware a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the state courts ruled about a decade ago against a Sheriff who wanted more of his Constitutional power, making him out to be the bad guy in such a way that he was defeated in the next primary election (and as a write-in candidate in that general election.)
In lieu of having an activist Sheriff's office, my county instead pays the State Police for about two dozen extra officers over our regulated allotment (presumably based on population.) So we get some measure of additional police protection, but no additional Constitution protection. That may not be a viable manner of addressing the problem in Washington state, depending on state police presence and coverage there. (Delaware is pretty small so it seems to work.)
Marxist governor, AG want to appoint ALL sheriffs. Moreover, we are so isolated we NEVER see a state trooper's car. Nearest trooper station is either 80 miles away or 120 miles away. I don't know.

Thank you for the article, Diane.
You are welcome! Do you live in Washington State? Ferguson is working on a scheme to control who runs for election of sheriff. The ultimate goal is to appoint, not elect sheriffs. https://dianelgruber.substack.com/p/outlawing-elected-sheriffs-in-washington

Great idea!!!! When new candidates win these three seats, maybe he will.
Diane my suggestion make sure the election poles are secure and you should demand ID FOR THOSE WHO VOTE !

Diane, I swear Washington State is becoming worse than Commiefornia.
Yep! When one state on Left Coast comes up with a Marxist idea, the other two follow.

Best of luck to you all with your recall.
Yes! A friend of mine has already filed for Olsen's seat. Also, another challenger has filed for the seat that comes up in November 2026.
