I confabulated two different things. (I also got NW confused with NE!!)
It was the Snohomish Police chief that got reassigned due to comments regarding the armed citizens as “festive”.
The County Sheriff has a petition mounting against him to recall him for saying that he would not enforce Inslee’s mask rules.
Still have to get the state Supreme Court to approve the the charges, and collect a lot of signatures. After that, the vote is scheduled. No one thinks there is a chance in hell he will be recalled. The number of people who are going to vote a sheriff out of office because he won’t enforce an unconstitutional edict can’t be more than 5%.
