Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes was relieved of his duties Wednesday night by Mayor Katie Wilson, five different sources tell FOX 13 Seattle.
According to sources, Barnes began texting individuals Wednesday night discussing his dismissal. Barnes had been scheduled to conduct 1-on-1 interviews with Seattle media Wednesday afternoon, but those interviews were abruptly canceled. At 6:30 p.m., he appeared at a silent vigil for victims of the Bite of Seattle shooting. He left abruptly, and sources tell FOX 13 he had a meeting with the mayor after the vigil, which is when he was asked to resign.
The backstory: On Sunday night, July 26, the Seattle Police Department and city officials faced criticism after waiting several hours to hold a news conference about the Bite of Seattle shooting.
Seattle police Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis finally provided an update at a Sunday evening briefing, which Chief Shon Barnes did not attend.
On Monday morning, Barnes was present at a second Bite of Seattle investigation news conference with Mayor Katie Wilson. He told the media that he was out of town Sunday, attending the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives Conference, hosted in Dallas.
After Monday morning’s press conference, video captured a confrontational interaction between Barnes and a reporter.

Shon Barnes is black, Katie. Firing him is racist. It sounds like you aren’t doing a good enough job positioning him for success.
I hope they riot now in Seattle. Give it to them good and hard.
oooh, that could be racist, antifa blm mass protest on Capital hill!
If this would just precipitate a war between DSAs, homeless, transgenders, and all aggrieved minorities, it would be a good day.
Over “small groups” of troublemakers? Cmon Katie. Blaming the system not the criminals is not the way.
She’s covered.....the Seattle police Assistant Chief Tyrone Davis is a brother also.
I strongly recommend Matt Walsh’s show on this fiasco yesterday
It’s so amazing how the media intentionally omits important details. You wouldn’t know from this article that this DEI hire makes $370K a year. He commutes from Chicago and got mad at the reporter for asking how often he’s actually in Seattle
Just giving the people what they voted for, good and hard.
“Over “small groups” of troublemakers?”
I heard it was small groups of pedestrians.
She’ll hire a disabled black female lesbian to replace him...we should place bets of what it will be.
Tweedle Dee telling Tweedle Dum to resign...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Deep State doesn’t care, does it.
....and the band played on....
He’ll file a lawsuit, win a pile of $$$ eventually and move onto his next DEI gig so that he can continue to fail-up.
Classic DEI grifter.
So the racist black chief attending a racist conference......
oooh, that could be racist, antifa blm mass protest on Capital hill!
.....Suffers from the racist actions by a racist white supremacist ignorant barbarian NAZI democrat mayor?
This may be the most convaluted race related situation of the year.
Big cities are tough to police.
Big city “leadership” pretending that some “affirmative action” hire is gonna ameliorate crime stats is a joke.
The mayor is incompetent but this clown made her look that way.
Ergo, he got the gate.
So she’s just replacing him with another clown.
She’d better have another DEI hire at the ready - otherwise she’ll be accused of racism, if she isn’t already.
Next hire will be just as hapless.
Won’t be long until the left in Seattle start eating their own, maybe they’ve already started...
“Nonprofits report a significant influx of transgender individuals fleeing restrictive laws in red states, with groups like Traction helping over 1,500 people move to Seattle since the 2024 election, straining local housing and support resources.”
