King County prosecutors seek 58 new hires and more funding amid a caseload crisis, despite limited budget allocations.
King County Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion is urging the King County Council to approve 58 new prosecutor positions and additional funding to address a severe caseload crisis, citing insufficient staff to handle serious crimes and protect victims’ rights.
Despite a new $200 million public safety sales tax, the proposed budget allocates only $2.2 million for victim services and no new prosecutors, drawing criticism from business leaders and public safety advocates who warn underfunding undermines justice and community safety.
The council is reviewing public input ahead of a November 18 vote.
