'Second chances' program at Kitsap County hits milestone

PORT ORCHARD -- Since its inception 27 years ago, 1,000 individuals have graduated from the Kitsap County Adult Drug Court. The diversion program offers court-supervised substance use treatment as an alternative to prosecution for eligible adults charged with certain felony, misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offenses. Participants who complete the roughly 18-month program will have their criminal charges cleared. It is one of more than 100 therapeutic courts in Washington, which serve people whose criminal cases are linked to substance use disorders or other behavioral health needs. Kitsap County ADC marked its milestone anniversary during the program's largest graduation class of the year, which was split into two ceremonies on Oct. 30. During the morning session, Judge Michelle Adams reflected on each graduate's progress, followed by some words from the graduate. It concluded with an attorney from the Kitsap County Prosecutor's Office announcing the participant's case was dismissed — made official through documentation confirming the decision and a firm handshake. Former Kitsap County Superior Court Judge Jay Roof, a key figure in launching the program in 1999, spoke at the event about KCADC's beginnings and accomplishments. Back then, Roof said his initiative was met with pushback from his colleagues who questioned

Seattle's Jaelynn Scott set to be Washington's first trans lawmaker

Seattle voters are poised to send the first openly transgender person to Washington's Legislature, with Jaelynn Scott holding 87% of the vote as of Thursday. The big picture: The milestone comes in the same election in which Washington voters approved new restrictions on trans girls competing in girls' school sports. Zoom in: Scott, the executive director of the Black trans advocacy organization the Lavender Rights Project, is on track to win the Position 2 seat in Washington's 37th Legislative District. The state House chief clerk and state Senate secretary told Axios they were unaware of any previous Washington legislators who publicly identified as transgender. The 37th district consists mostly of southeast Seattle but also includes a small part of Renton and some unincorporated areas, including Skyway. What they're saying: Scott acknowledged the historic nature of her victory in an election night news release. But she said her campaign was primarily about "families fighting to stay in the neighborhoods they built," along with "housing, health care and schools." "Being first is a responsibility, not a trophy," Scott said. "To every trans kid in Washington who has been told there's no place for them: there is. It's in the State House." Her
