www.vashonbeachcomber.com/obituaries/d... I am saddened by the passing of beloved Vashon fixture Dr. Steve Nourse. His kindness and generosity were abundant and he went out of his way to help me learn about the Island as I stepped into my role at the County. My thoughts and love are with his family.

Yesterday my team and I went to Vashon for our first #D8Day of 2026! It was a packed and wonderful day. Follow along on our journey to learn about some of the amazing people and organizations working to keep Vashon accessible and welcoming for all!

I am honored to have sponsored a motion that calls upon US Congress to implement significant guardrails around DHS and immigration enforcement agents. Thank you to my co-sponsors - CMs Lewis, Barón, Dembowski, and @kccclaudia.bsky.social - and all my fellow CMs for unanimously passing this motion.

Today, we recognized January as Human Trafficking Prevention Month in King County! Thanks to my co-sponsors CMs Lewis and Dunn, and thank you to Emi from the Coalition for Rights & Safety for joining us to accept. This is an affirmation of our commitment to addressing the root causes of trafficking.

Looking forward to discussing this motion this afternoon at 1:30! Big thanks to CMs Lewis, Barón, and Dembowski for co-sponsoring; and to @girmayzahilay.bsky.social & @jayapal.house.gov for their support and partnership! This coordination will be crucial for the fight ahead.

King County stands with the people of Minnesota in pushing back against the dangerous, illegal, and unconstitutional deployment of federal immigration enforcement agents into their state.

My statement on the killing of Alex Pretti and ICE violence in Minneapolis.

These shootings must be investigated. We can not close our eyes. Our country deserves better than this. We are better than this. - NB

Another person shot by ICE agents. Another life lost. Our descent into authoritarian rule continues. This is a dark chapter in our history, America. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Defend your democracy while you still can. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

This is absolutely outrageous and horrifying. DHS agents have killed someone again, firing multiple shots at the person even though he is on the ground surrounded by agents. This needs to be investigated, and ICE and CBP need to get out of MN NOW.

I’m horrified by the news this morning out of Minneapolis.

ICE agents have now taken the lives of two unarmed people in the Twin Cities. We stand in solidarity with our members in Minneapolis and across the country in calling for ICE and DHS to leave Minnesota NOW.

The 2 line is complete! Congrats to @sound-transit.bsky.social, advocates, and all who worked tirelessly over the years to complete this light rail segment connecting the 1 and 2 lines & delivering on ST2 regional light rail expansion! 🚄🚆🛤

My statement on the death of Parady La in ICE custody.

West Seattle is home to some incredible businesses!

“The state panel found that the majority of the deaths — more than 80% of them — could have been prevented by better access to health care, more culturally competent care, or by support such as home visits, doula care, or help with housing and food.” www.kuow.org/stories/preg...
