In interview, Snohomish County's new sheriff outlines playbook for 2024
EVERETT — Snohomish County Sheriff-elect Susanna Johnson ran on a platform of accountability and restoring trust she feels was lost in county law enforcement under her predecessor.
Johnson defeated incumbent Adam Fortney last month in a tight race, 51.5% to 48.4%.
Her term begins New Year’s Day, with a swearing in the next day at the PUD Auditorium, at 2320 California St. in Everett.
Johnson, 56, has three decades of law enforcement experience. She has served as Bothell’s deputy police chief since 2021. Before that, she worked for the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office for 30 years, where she served as a patrol deputy, K-9 handler, SWAT squad leader, lieutenant, captain and bureau chief.
