Snohomish County's new sheriff seeks a reset for her department
From an early age, Susanna Johnson wanted to be a cop. At 22, she got her dream job with the sheriff’s department in Washington’s third most populous county.
In a few weeks, Johnson will become the new Snohomish County sheriff, capping three decades of wearing a badge, nearly all of it for the law enforcement agency where she got her start.
Johnson will be the first woman to hold the office, an accomplishment made possible by voters in the Nov. 7 election. She had received 51.5% of the vote in her duel with Sheriff Adam Fortney as of Tuesday’s tally.
“I certainly feel very honored for this opportunity, and excited to come take all the tools that I’ve learned over the years and bring them back to the sheriff’s office,” said Johnson, who spent the past two years with the Bothell Police Department.
