"We talked about this in October of 2019 and we’re still talking about it and so it’s time to take action," said County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert, adding that massive security changes need to be made to improve safety or it should relocate. "I think the courthouse needs to be moved. Not because we’re trying to abandon, but because we’re trying to protect people." In short you are abandoning having the courthouse in Seattle Lambert isn't the only one calling for drastic change. KOMO News received an internal email from a person who works in the courthouse who emailed Executive Dow Constantine and Mayor Jenny Durkan That would be the 'summer of love - but with a body count' mayor of Seattle. that said, in part, "For years, employees who work in the Courthouse have raised security concerns and no one seems to care. We ask witnesses, victims, and jurors to come to the Courthouse knowing that it is not safe . . . this situation is completely unacceptable." "Many have felt their voices have not been heard," said King County Superior Court Judge Sean O’Donnell, adding that the people he has spoken to have been shaken up by the attempted rape and feel like nothing has been done yet to fix it. "Something has got to be done to change the status quo." When asked who should be working to improve safety around the courthouse, O'Donnell said, "Well, this is the city of Seattle so you can start there."
