Satterberg named interim prosecutor

Not surprisingly, Norm Maleng's chief of staff Dan Satterberg was named interim prosecuting attorney today. He'll act in the position until the King County Council makes an appointment to serve until a special election this fall dictates who will serve out the remaining three years of his term. Patrick at Respectfully Republican has the scoop that the county GOP will be meeting June 2 to choose which three candidates to send to the Council for the appointment. If Satterberg will choose to pursue the job further, we will soon find out.
