Sheriff won't face recall, but his foes say they'll battle on

EVERETT — Terry Preshaw concluded last spring she’d made a mistake in her choice for Snohomish County sheriff and set out to “make things right.”

In May, roughly seven months after voting for Adam Fortney to be the county’s top cop, Preshaw, a Mukilteo immigration attorney, joined a fledgling undertaking to remove him from office via recall.

She found it disturbing that Fortney reinstated deputies fired by his predecessor for violating policy and alarming that he objected in the manner he did to statewide coronavirus restrictions.

“I had no idea that I was voting for someone who felt personally empowered to determine the constitutionality of any given law and did not believe in medical science,” she said in an email response to questions.
