Burglaries, Break-ins Raise Concerns in Magnolia

King County Council Calls for Assessor’s Resignation Amid Criminal Charges and Prior Allegations

Staff Report

A

recent string of burglaries and break-ins in Magnolia has prompted concern among residents and business owners, with Seattle police saying they plan to increase patrols and use additional crime-prevention strategies in the neighborhood. The issue was discussed at a Tuesday, April 21, Magnolia Community Council meeting after residents raised concerns about burglaries, car prowls and break-ins affecting homes, vehicles and businesses. The meeting focused on neighborhood safety, Block Watch programs and ways residents and businesses can work with Seattle police. Magnolia Community Council leaders said the goal was to better understand what is happening in the neighborhood and focus on steps the community can take. Seattle Police Department West Precinct Captain Marc Garth-Green told residents that violent crime is down, but burglaries are up in the area and are driving concern for the precinct.

Staff Report

According to court filings and reporting, Wilson has been accused of stalking and harassment involving his former partner, Lee Keller. A judge issued restraining and no-contact orders after determining there was risk of harm if such protections were not put in place. Court documents allege Wilson repeatedly contacted Keller after their separation, including dozens of text messages and phone calls, as well as continued outreach through social media. In one exchange included in filings, Keller wrote “LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!” with Wilson responding, “NEVER.” Wilson was arrested in July 2025 on suspicion of stalking and violating a court order. He has since been charged in Seattle Municipal Court with two counts of violating a no-contact order, both gross misdemeanors. He has pleaded not guilty to those charges, which stem from alleged violations in late June and early July 2025. A judge has since ordered additional conditions, including a renewed no-contact order and GPS monitoring, requiring Wilson to remain at least 1,000 feet away from Keller, her home and workplace.

COUNCIL REACTION

Councilmembers have framed their call for resignation around the impact of these developments on public trust and the functioning of the office. Councilmember Claudia Balducci said Wilson should step down to allow the office to continue operating without distraction. “Given this development, I hope the King County Assessor recognizes that it is time for him to step down, address his personal and legal challenges on his own time, and allow the work of the County Assessor’s office to continue without distraction or controversy,” Balducci said. Other councilmembers have similarly expressed concern that the ongoing legal situation raises questions about Wilson’s

Ballard Light Rail Uncertainty Raises Access Questions for Nearby Neighborhoods Staff Report

P

lans to bring light rail to Ballard are facing renewed uncertainty, raising concerns about longterm transit access for nearby neighborhoods that currently lack direct service. Sound Transit is evaluating how to address a projected $34.5 billion funding gap, and the Ballard Link Extension is among the projects that could be delayed, shortened, or scaled back as part of that process. For residents in areas without direct rail access, the issue extends beyond Ballard itself. It is about how and when communities will connect to the region’s expanding light rail system.

WHY THIS MATTERS LOCALLY

Unlike many parts of Seattle, neighborhoods such as Magnolia and much of Queen Anne remain outside the current light rail network. Residents often rely on buses or driving to reach existing stations, adding time and uncertainty to daily commutes. A future Ballard light rail line, with potential stations in Interbay, Queen Anne, and Seattle Center, and potentially stretching down to West Seattle has long been viewed as the most practical connection point. For Magnolia in particular, an Interbay alignment

T

he King County Council has unanimously approved legislation authorizing all nine council members to sign a letter calling for County Assessor John Arthur Wilson to immediately resign, citing ongoing legal issues and a loss of public trust. In the letter, councilmembers wrote that the situation has caused “irrevocable harm” to public confidence and said Wilson has “fully lost our confidence” in his ability to perform the duties of the office. The call for resignation follows a series of allegations involving Wilson and his former fiancée, as well as subsequent court actions and criminal charges.

could provide one of the closest and most convenient links to regional transit. The Ballard Link Extension is projected to serve between 132,000 and 173,000 daily riders, making it one of the most heavily used projects in the region’s future transit system. That potential connection has been a key part of longterm transportation expectations in the area. Without it, access to the broader system remains indirect and dependent on surface transit. If the Ballard extension is shortened or delayed, that access point could shift farther away or be pushed years into the future, limiting the benefits

many residents anticipated when the project was approved.

PROJECT COSTS AND CHANGES

The Ballard extension was approved by voters in 2016 as part of the Sound Transit 3 package, a major expansion plan funded through regional taxes. Since then, costs have increased significantly. Current estimates place the project between roughly $20 billion and more than $22 billion, making it one of the most expensive components of the entire system. To address rising costs, Sound Transit is studying a

range of alternatives aimed at reducing expenses and managing the broader funding gap. Some scenarios would stop the line short of Ballard, ending service closer to Seattle Center or Smith Cove. Either option would place the nearest light rail access point farther from Magnolia and portions of Queen Anne, reducing the convenience and reach of the system for those communities. Other proposals include using the existing downtown transit tunnel to accommodate additional lines. While that approach could reduce the need for new infrastructure, agency

Savvy Senior:

The Silent Warning: Understanding Prediabetes By Jim Miller Dear Savvy Senior, My 60-year-old brother was recently diagnosed with prediabetes, which surprised all of us because he’s fairly active and isn’t overweight. Now I’m wondering if I could be at risk too. Does prediabetes run in families, and what exactly does it mean? —Younger Sister Dear Younger, Yes, you could be at risk. Having a close family member with diabetes increases your chances of developing it yourself, though family history is just one factor. Age, weight, lifestyle, blood pressure, cholesterol, and certain ethnic backgrounds also affect risk. Here’s a clearer look at prediabetes and what you should know. WHAT IS PREDIABETES?

Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It is far more common than most people realize.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that about 115 million American adults have prediabetes, and the majority don’t know it. Without intervention, many will develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years. Even before diabetes develops, elevated blood sugar can quietly damage blood vessels and raise the risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, nerve damage, and vision problems. Once diabetes develops, daily blood sugar monitoring, medications or insulin, and lifestyle adjustments may become necessary, which can affect overall quality of life. The good news is that prediabetes does not make diabetes inevitable. In many cases, it can be reversed. Modest weight loss, regular physical activity, and healthier eating habits can significantly reduce – or sometimes eliminate – the risk of progression. In some situations, medications may also be prescribed to help control blood sugar. WHO SHOULD GET TESTED?

Prediabetes usually causes no noticeable symptoms, so testing is the only reliable way to know if you have it. Adults age 45 and older should be screened, particularly if overweight. Younger adults should also consider testing if they are overweight and have other risk factors such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, a sedentary lifestyle, or a family history of diabetes. Certain ethnic groups – including Latino, Black, Asian, and Native American adults – have higher risk and may benefit from earlier screening. To quickly assess your risk, take the free online screening test at DoIHavePrediabetes.org. HOW IT’S DIAGNOSED

If you are at risk, your doctor can order one of three blood tests. The fasting plasma glucose test requires an eight-hour fast. The oral glucose tolerance test measures how your body processes sugar. The hemoglobin A1C test reflects your average blood sugar over two to three months and can be done at any time, regardless of when you last ate. Most Medicare and private insurance plans generally cover diabetes screening tests at little or no cost if you meet risk criteria such as being overweight, having high blood pressure, or having a family history of diabetes. Home glucose meters are not intended to diagnose prediabetes. TAKE ACTION

If you are diagnosed with prediabetes, don’t panic. Many people restore healthy blood sugar with lifestyle changes alone. Losing 5 to 7 percent of your body weight, getting at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, and reducing refined carbohydrates can make a meaningful difference. For additional support, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsors the National Diabetes Prevention Program, which offers structured lifestyle-change classes in person and online across the U.S. (cdc.gov/ diabetes-prevention). Local hospitals, clinics, and community centers may also offer similar programs. The most important step is awareness. A simple screening test can provide peace of mind or give you the opportunity to take action now and prevent diabetes in the future. Send your questions or comments to questions@savvysenior.org, or to Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070.

He said SPD data shows many of the burglaries are happening between midnight and 5 a.m. In response, police plan to bring more officers into the area during those hours and use plainclothes operations to look for patterns and suspects.

In an earlier statement issued in October 2025, Wilson apologized for what he described as personal misconduct and announced he would not seek reelection. “I want to make my sincere apology… I fell short of standards of behavior I have always tried to practice,” Wilson said, adding that

LIGHT RAIL, FROM 1 analysis has found it could lead to major disruptions, including potential service interruptions and extended construction timelines.

COMPETING REGIONAL PRIORITIES

The Ballard project is not the only one under review. Leaders from across the region are advocating for projects in their own communities, including expansions to Everett and Tacoma. Those competing priorities are shaping decisions about which parts of the system move forward first as Sound Transit works within its financial constraints. That dynamic has raised concerns among Seattle officials that projects serving dense urban neighborhoods could be reduced despite strong projected ridership. Seattle City Councilmember Dan Strauss, who represents Ballard and Magnolia and serves on the Sound Transit Board, has been pushing to preserve the extension. Strauss has argued that voters approved the project and are already paying for it through taxes tied to the 2016 measure, making it important to deliver on that commitment.

A QUESTION OF FOLLOW-THROUGH

For many residents, the debate is not only about cost. It is also about follow-through. The Ballard line was a central piece of

to identify suspects, recover property and gather evidence for possible prosecution. Police also discussed Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design, often called CPTED, as one tool to help reduce risk. Garth-Green said SPD can work with businesses to review lighting, locks, cameras, landscaping and other physical features that may make properties more or less vulnerable. Car prowls were also discussed at the meeting. Garth-Green said there have been too many car prowls in the area, including around Discovery Park. He said SPD plans to work with parks officials on better signage and public messaging reminding people not to leave valuables in vehicles. Garth-Green also urged residents to report suspicious activity and crimes, even when they are unsure whether police will be able to respond quickly. He said 911 calls help SPD understand where problems are occurring, guide officer deployment and document the need for resources. The meeting also included information about Block Watch programs. Magnolia Community Council leaders said the neighborhood safety conversation is part of a broader effort to help neighbors get to know one another and support each other. Residents were encouraged to consider starting or joining Block Watch groups in their area. The Magnolia Chamber of Commerce has also raised concerns about property crime affecting local businesses. In an April 23 public safety update, the Chamber said businesses in Magnolia and Interbay have experienced repeated break-ins, broken windows, vandalism and smash-and-grab incidents. The Chamber said some business owners

have invested in cameras, alarms, lighting, deadbolts and other security measures in response. The Chamber said it is working with the Magnolia Community Council and Seattle police to improve communication and encourage crime-prevention efforts. Residents should call 911 for emergencies, crimes in progress or suspicious activity that requires an immediate

However, subsequent developments, including the filing of criminal charges and additional court orders in 2026, have renewed scrutiny and intensified calls for his resignation.

calculate property taxes across the county. The role does not involve auditing public spending or overseeing financial controls, but it is a countywide elected position that directly impacts property owners. Councilmembers have emphasized that maintaining public trust is essential to the effective functioning of the office.

ROLE OF THE OFFICE

The King County Assessor is responsible for determining property values used to

a broader promise to expand light rail across the region. Changes to that plan, especially reductions to major projects, have raised questions about whether those commitments will be fulfilled as originally envisioned. At the same time, Sound Transit officials point to rising construction costs, inflation, and systemwide funding pressures as factors driving the current review. Large infrastructure projects across the country have faced similar challenges, and transit agencies are increasingly being forced to reassess timelines and scope. The result is a tension between financial reality and voter expectations, with each side shaping the decisions now underway.

WHAT COMES NEXT

Sound Transit is expected to make key decisions about project priorities in the coming months, with potential votes as early as May or June. Those decisions could determine not only whether the Ballard extension moves forward as planned, but also how quickly surrounding neighborhoods gain meaningful access to light rail. For communities currently without direct service, the outcome will shape how residents connect to jobs, services, and regional destinations for decades to come. The Magnolia Community Council Transportation Committee says it will continue tracking developments and sharing updates as the process moves forward.

response. For non-emergency situations, residents can call SPD’s non-emergency line or use online reporting when appropriate. For now, Magnolia residents and business owners are being encouraged to stay aware, secure their property, report incidents and work with neighbors as community groups continue working with Seattle police on public safety concerns.

Events Around Seattle Bring Art, Culture, and Community Together April 30 to May 6

S

eattle is gearing up for a full slate of community events that highlight everything from cultural celebrations and youth programs to career pathways and creative showcases this weekend. For South Sound residents looking to plan a day trip or weekend outing, the coming weeks offer a wide mix of activities worth the drive north.

April 30 – May 2, Cornish Playhouse (Seattle Center) The Creative Works Pop-Up will bring together local artists, makers, and small businesses for a showcase of handmade goods and creative work. The event offers visitors a chance to browse unique items while supporting local creators. From artwork and crafts to design and specialty goods, the pop-up reflects the region’s strong independent arts community. This year’s theme, Soul Over Scale, challenges the industry’s obsession with speed, metrics, and algorithms. Instead, the summit focuses on depth, craft, and the real people behind the work.

EXPLORING CAREERS AT WOMEN IN TRADES

ERIC BVD

CREATIVE WORKS POP-UP HIGHLIGHTS LOCAL TALENT

May 1, Seattle Art Museum The Seattle Art Museum will host its annual Teen Night Out, an after-hours event designed specifically for high school students ages 14 to 19. Organized by teens, for teens, the event gives young people a chance to experience the museum in a different way, with programming created by local youth. This year’s theme, “Sunken Soirée,” leans into an underwater atmosphere, blending jazz, low lighting, and interactive art activities. Attendees can expect a mix of handson projects, including shell-inspired art, lantern-making, and a themed photo booth, all set against a ballroom-style backdrop imagined beneath the ocean. The event is structured as both a social and creative space, offering teens a chance to connect while engaging with art in a more relaxed setting than a typical museum visit. Space will also be available for chaperones accompanying attendees.

ALASKA-THEMED DRONE SHOW TO LIGHT UP SEATTLE CENTER

May 1, Fisher Pavilion (Seattle Center) For those interested in hands-on careers, the annual Women in Trades event returns this spring, offering a closer look at opportunities in construction, manufacturing, and other skilled trades. The event is designed to connect women and girls with training programs, apprenticeship opportunities, and industry professionals. Attendees can expect demonstrations, networking opportunities, and the chance to learn more about pathways into careers that have traditionally been underrepresented by women. Organizers say the event continues to grow each year as more industries look to expand access and build a more diverse workforce. Information about training programs, certifications, and entry-level opportunities will be available throughout the event.

May 1, International Fountain (Seattle Center) Seattle Center will host a large-scale drone light show, bringing an Alaska-themed display to the night sky. Hundreds of synchronized drones will create moving images inspired by Alaska’s landscapes and wildlife. The show is hosted by Princess Cruises and is tied to the launch of its newest ship, the Star Princess, which will begin sailing to Alaska from Seattle this season. Organizers say the event is meant to celebrate the city’s role as a gateway to Alaska travel. Organizers recommend arriving early, as large crowds are expected.

FESTÁL CELEBRATIONS CONTINUE WITH ASIAN AMERICAN NATIVE HAWAIIAN PACIFIC ISLANDER HERITAGE MONTH CELEBRATION

May 2, Seattle Center The one-day event kicks off AANHPI Heritage Month and is free and open to the public.

The celebration is designed to highlight the cultures, histories, and contributions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, South Asian, and Pacific Islander communities across the region. Visitors can expect a mix of performances, food, and hands-on activities throughout the day. Programming typically includes traditional and contemporary dance, martial arts demonstrations, and music performances from local groups, along with cultural displays, educational exhibits, and community resource booths. Organizers say the event brings together a range of cultures, with representation from dozens of countries and communities, reflecting the diversity of the Puget Sound region. Like other Festál events, the goal is not just entertainment, but connection. It offers a chance for visitors to experience different traditions in one place, whether through food, performance, or conversation with community groups.

CITY YEAR FUNDRAISER COMBINES SERVICE AND STUDENT SUPPORT

May 2, Fisher Pavilion (Seattle Center) City Year Seattle/King County will host its annual Ripples of Hope fundraiser, bringing together community members to support local students while also taking part in a service project. The event serves a dual purpose. It raises funding for City Year’s work in schools while also giving attendees a chance to contribute directly through hands-on service. City Year partners with schools across the region, placing trained team members in classrooms to support students both academically and socially. Organizers say the goal is to help students stay on track while also building confidence and connection in the classroom. Funds raised through Ripples of Hope go toward several areas of that work, including providing additional support for students, training young leaders entering the education field, and expanding access to resources for students who may not otherwise have them. Unlike traditional fundraisers, the event is designed to be participatory, with attendees encouraged to take part in service activities alongside their financial support. For those looking to engage with education efforts in a more direct way, organizers say Ripples of Hope offers an opportunity to both give back and better understand the challenges facing local schools.

KODOMO NO HI CELEBRATES CHILDREN’S DAY

May 3, Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Washington The free event draws from traditional Japanese festival culture, offering hands-on games like omikuji fortune telling, water yo-yo fishing, and coin drop challenges. Families can also take part in craft stations, creating items such as handmade masks and koinobori, or koi streamer bags, to take home.

This year’s event will also highlight yokai, supernatural figures from Japanese folklore. Visitors can learn about these characters, from well-known figures like kappa and tengu to lesser-known spirits, through themed crafts and a presentation by translator and folklorist Zack Davisson.

SAM TEEN NIGHT INVITES HIGH SCHOOLERS TO “SUNKEN SOIRÉE”

Staff Report

Live performances are scheduled throughout the day, including taiko drumming and martial arts demonstrations, along with tea ceremony displays. Food vendors will also be on site, offering traditional items such as onigiri and wagashi.

SUPPORTING YOUTH AT YOUTHCARE FUNDRAISER

May 6, Fisher Pavilion (Seattle Center) Seattle Center will also host a YouthCare fundraiser this season, bringing attention to the ongoing need for services supporting young people experiencing homelessness. YouthCare is a longtime Seattle-based nonprofit that works with youth and young adults facing housing instability, providing resources such as shelter, education support, and job training. The fundraiser is designed to both raise money and help the broader community better understand the challenges these young people face. Events like this typically combine community gathering with purpose, giving attendees a chance to support the organization while learning more about its work. Programming may include speakers, opportunities to connect with staff and volunteers, and ways to get involved beyond the event itself. Organizers say continued community support is essential to maintaining and expanding services, especially as demand for youth housing and support programs remains high. For those attending other events at Seattle Center, the fundraiser offers a different kind of opportunity, one focused less on entertainment and more on connection and impact.
