Former Clallam sheriff named U.S. Marshall
Monday, May 5
Former Clallam County Sheriff Joe Hawe is wearing a badge again, this time with the responsibility of enforcing federal laws for all of Western Washington.
Months after Hawe was nominated, it’s been announced that he’s been appointed by President Bush to serve as U.S. Marshall for Western Washington.
The Marshall’s Service provides security for the federal courthouses in the region, overseeing the safety of judges, serving federal warrants and picking up felons and seizing assets in criminal cases.
Hawe served as Sequim police chief from 1984 to 1990, when he was first elected as Clallam County Sheriff. He went on to become one of the longest-serving sheriff’s in the county’s history before he surprised everyone by resigning shortly after winning a 4th term. He said at the time he needed a break from day-to-day law enforcement and wanted to spend more time with his family. He later worked with the Washington Association of Sheriff’s and Police Chiefs on school safety issues. In addition to local law enforcement experience, Hawe has worked with the Diplomatic Security Service and as a reservist in the Coast Guard.

Sequim suspends city manager
Tuesday, May 6
Shock waves from Sequim today, where the city council has suspended City Manager Bill Elliott, putting him on the sidelines for a month.
The move comes after several weeks where the new council majority has been critical of Elliott for his management style, including the search for a new Public Works Director.
The storm clouds gathered during two executive sessions, and then the council voted 4-1 to suspend Elliott during a study session Monday afternoon. Long-time council members Walt Schubert and Bill Huizinga, who’ve been consistent supporters of Elliott and helped to hire him, were there for the vote. The Sequim Gazette is reporting that Elliott is refusing to resign.
The move leaves the city administration in a state of limbo. Police Chief Bob Spinks will take over management of staff in the meantime.
