NW Politician Arrested and Jailed in Stalking Case
- John Wilson, the King County Assessor, was taken into custody by Seattle police Wednesday evening on suspicion of stalking and breaching a court order.
- The arrest followed public allegations by his former domestic partner Lee Keller, who filed two restraining orders against him starting in May 2024.
- Wilson denied the allegations as one-sided, said he has never engaged in domestic violence, and stated he will not resign despite calls from the King County Council and Seattle officials.
- Wilson was booked into King County Correctional Facility late Wednesday, has a court appearance Thursday afternoon, and no criminal charges have been filed against him yet.
- The King County Council’s unanimous vote expressing no confidence and calls for Wilson to resign indicate political pressure amid an ongoing investigation to determine legal outcomes.
