Dan Satterberg to say goodbye as King County Prosecutor after nearly 16 years
King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg is saying goodbye to the office he has held for more than 15 years.
“After 37 years in the office, and 15 years as the elected prosecutor, I have decided that 2022 will be my last year here, and I will not be seeking reelection,” Satterberg shared with KIRO Radio’s Hanna Scott.
“It’s been a tremendous honor and privilege to be part of this office, the work we do here is so important, he continued. “And I’ll miss it. But it’s time for me to do other things with my life. It’s time for somebody new to step up and lead this office. So it’s going to be an exciting and eventful year for us here in the King County Prosecutor’s Office.”
Satterberg took over as prosecutor after the unexpected death of then King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng in 2007. He was later re-elected to a full four-year term in 2010, and again in 2014, serving as a Republican until he successfully pushed a voter approved charter amendment to make the office non-partisan in 2016.
