Troy Kelley pleads not guilty to additional counts of money laundering and tax evasion. A federal judge also sets a March 14 trial date. By Rachel La Corte Associated Press

TACOMA — Washington state Auditor Troy Kelley, who has been on unpaid leave while fighting allegations that he stole millions from clients of his former business, pleaded not guilty Friday to additional charges of money laundering and tax evasion. Kelley entered his plea in U.S. District Court in Tacoma before Judge David Christel a week after a new indictment from a federal grand jury added the counts to a long list of charges that he previously pleaded not guilty to earlier this year. At a separate status hearing following the arraignment, U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton set Kelley’s trial date for March 14, after agreeing to his lawyer’s request to move it from January. The new charges cover actions that allegedly took place from 2011 to this year, while Kelley was in office, and say that he laundered money by withdrawing $245,000 annually from a pool of ill-gotten gains. Kelley, a 50-yearold Democrat from Tacoma, is a former state representative who was elected in 2012 to be Washington’s auditor — the state official charged with rooting out waste and fraud in government operations. He previously ran a company called Post Closing See KELLEY, Page A2

Friday’s ceremony marking 14 years since the World Trade Center towers fell. “We are here today to display the final resting place of the one-ton beam,” said Dave “Bronco” Erickson, a longtime firefighter who helped organize the memorial effort. The park was designed to be a place of solace, a timeless reminder of sacrifice and loss, he said. The attack in New York killed 2,753 people, an attack on the Pentagon killed 184 and 40 people died on Flight 93, which

EDMONDS — The sculpture is subtle, simple and steel. The sun Friday morning shone through the panels of stained glass in the sculpture, washing the image of the American flag over a one-ton beam. It was just as the firefighters envisioned. The beam, an artifact from the 2001 terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, is the centerpiece of a new 9/11 memorial park in downtown Edmonds. The park officially opened in time for
