2022 Year-End Police Report
Outgoing Chief Jason Houck and incoming Chief Steve Kajihiro presented their year-end report on crime and policing in Newcastle. An item of note is that Newcastle PD Officer Matt Treadway wrote more tickets than any other deputy in the King County Sheriff’s Office. Way to go, Officer Treadway!
The written report covers upcoming events and staffing updates, as well as information on the beginning of construction for the Hiemstra project, and how to vote in the King Conservation District board election.
A public hearing was held on the subject of a utility easement relinquishment in the Windtree 5 subdivision, and a resolution was adopted 7-0 to release it. Learn more.
