It almost seems that Ty Trenary & John Lovick are having a contest to see who can let more people die at the Snohomish County Jail. It’s getting close to a tie…
The Snohomish County Sheriff’s dept took over jail operations in January of 2009, Aaron Reardon fought it, but no one listened. He warned us but no one really cared & then as usual he caved in to political pressure
There is a constant in the media, claiming there have been 10 deaths in the jail since 2010, but the focus should be on when the Sheriff took over the jail.

LOVICK ~ 8 TRENARY ~ 7
John Lovick averaged 1 death every 6 months but, Ty Trenary is averaging about 1 every 3 months. They don’t tell you about all of the people who have died there. The Herald finally caught onto it but the jail still won’t release the TRUE records of folks who have died after something has gone wrong in the jail if they died outside of the jail (while still in custody)
One death in the jail is too many let a lone 15 deaths with 5 of them in LESS then a 15 months. 3 in one month alone.
The jail “claims” they don’t have enough money to hire more doctors or qualified mental health care workers yet they can build a big new fancy multi-million dollar jail while stripping law abiding citizens of their land & buildings in a classic land grab It is no coincidence that one of those attorneys’ Royce Furguson sued the county & won.
The thing to remember is that these are people, not just numbers or statistics. There will never be one more chance for them, they leave behind those who loved them while they wait in vain for some type of justice. The DOJ launched an investigation in 2013 but nothing came of that, they said they needed more nurses then left.
