NEW: An ICE Homeland Security Investigations Seattle and Klickitat County Sheriff’s Department investigation led to a 27-year prison sentence and lifetime supervised release for a Goldendale man who pleaded guilty to two counts of enticement and attempted enticement of a child and one count of possession of child sexual abuse images. “Corbett Lloyd Craig, a 42-year-old man, used social media between early 2022 and his arrest in June 2025 to coerce two girls into providing him with sexually explicit videos and images,” said acting ICE Director David J. Venturella. “He enticed one of the children by offering her money via gift cards and online payments. This is an adult who knew the girls were just kids — but he still intended to elicit sexual material from them. I’m incredibly proud of the Homeland Security Investigations special agents who invested their time and effort into this case to bring some measure of justice to these young girls and their families.” “Mr. Craig was fully aware that his actions were not just extremely immoral, but illegal as well,” said acting HSI Seattle Special Agent in Charge April Miller. “This sentence will keep this predator off the streets and keep our children safer. HSI will continue to investigate these crimes against children. We owe our communities nothing less.” Based on the investigation, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Craig’s home and discovered thousands of additional files of child sex abuse material. Craig’s history of engaging in the same and similar conduct is what makes this case even more aggravated and supports his substantial sentence. In 2017, Craig was convicted of encouraging child abuse in the second degree, sexual abuse in the third degree, and contributing to the sexual delinquency of a child in Clackamas County Superior Court, Oregon. Federal investigators found child abuse images from his previous case and a child he personally victimized on his computer.

Bob Ferguson cost Washington Starbucks. This was entirely avoidable. We now know the coffee giant warned Bob Ferguson exactly what would happen if he raised taxes. He ignored them.

@GovBobFerguson Please show your data to prove your point

Our state is moving forward as a national leader on climate, despite a federal government that seems hellbent on rolling back every ounce of progress. I appreciate Mayor Wilson and the attendees at the launch of PNW Climate Week today. What's happening in DC isn't stopping us.

NEW EXCLUSIVE: Bob Ferguson tried and failed to convince Starbucks that higher taxes were a good thing These meeting prep notes reveal that Gov Bob Ferguson set up a meeting with Starbucks AFTER the coffee giant announced it was expanding to Nashville. The meeting was a month after the announcement and over a year after the company said Ferguson's taxes would jeopardize the business climate in the state The goal of the meeting was "to make a case for ‘why Washington’, and to gather information to inform your future strategy navigating the firm’s continued corporate and retail presence." Additionally, on Feb 5, "During the Challenge Seattle dinner, Mr. Niccol (Chairman and Chief Executive of Starbucks) brought up public safety concerns near the Starbucks headquarters as a top concern." Starbucks HQ is in SODO, an area plagued by homeless/drug addict crime. Ferguson's office even considered bringing in the WA State Patrol to help, even though it was a King County and Seattle issue. According to the meeting prep, "Mr. Niccol may raise concerns about the overall business environment in Washington, including the impacts of the 2025 revenue package and the millionaire’s tax. In particular, he may raise concerns about sales tax on additional services (e.g. advertising) and the .5% B&O tax surcharge on income over $250 million impacting the company. For the millionaire’s tax, his concerns are more likely to be directed at retaining executive talent in the state." As a response, Ferguson was given these talking points: "Similar to your work bringing Starbucks “back to basics”, my focus is getting Washington back to delivering excellent core public services like schools, roads, and bridges, promoting good governance, and emphasizing what continues to make Washington a unique magnet for attracting elite talent and innovation – an excellent quality of life in a welcoming and beautiful place." It was too late. By this time, Starbucks had already laid off 1,300 Washingtonian workers and closed thirty-one Washington locations, including the Seattle Reserve Roastery on Capitol Hill. The notes referenced 5 additional store closures and another 69 employees being laid off, and Headquarters employment dropping over 25% since 2023. The company had already announced the 250,000-square-foot expansion in Nashville the month before and the hiring of 2,000 workers in Tennessee. Even Ferguson's office didn't believe Starbucks' claim that Seattle would remain the "global support headquarters,” acknowledging "public questions about whether the company is gradually shifting its center of gravity."
