2 stabbed, home burned Man is suspected of attacking his parents, setting house ablaze
The Archdiocese of Seattle says it shared the names of those who sexually abused children and teens to inspire other victims to come forward. By Kari Bray Herald Writer
EVERETT — A list of Catholic clergy accused of sexually abusing children and teens includes 16 that served in Snohomish County. The Archdiocese of Seattle released the list Friday afternoon. It includes priests who have died, been defrocked or who are living a life of “permanent prayer and penance” after they either admitted to sexually abusing children or the church found that allegations against them were credible. Permanent prayer and penance means the priests are not allowed to do public ministry anymore. Church leaders hope sharing the list will make other victims consider reporting abuse, said Greg Magnoni, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Seattle. “This action is being taken in the interest of further transparency and accountability, and to continue to encourage victims of sexual abuse by clergy to come forward,” Seattle Archbishop J. Peter Sartain wrote. In a letter sent with the list, Sartain apologized for those the church put in a position of trust who “violated that sacred trust by abusing the vulnerable in their care.” The church has responded to hundreds of victims of abuse, he wrote. He thanked those victims for having the courage to talk about their experiences and urged others to do the same. See CLERGY, Page A4

Smoke rises from the charred remains of a home in the 2500 block of 153rd Street SE in Snohomish on Friday, where a man allegedly stabbed his parents and started a fire.

SNOHOMISH — A man suspected of stabbing his parents and then lighting their home on fire late Thursday left dark posts on social media in the hours before the attack. The man, 29, has a LinkedIn page that included the phrase “Burn in hell” below his name and a photo. On Facebook, Thursday morning he apparently wrote that “entertainment outside of nature and love is the work of the devil.” His mother, 58, was still unaccounted for Friday. A woman’s body was found inside the burned home, said Shari Ireton, a spokeswoman with the Snohomish County Sheriff ’s Office.

The road leading to the home was blocked Friday morning.
The man and his father, also 58, were initially taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett. Both were moved to
Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. They were listed in satisfactory condition by Friday afternoon.
Detectives with the major crimes team Friday were gathering evidence, trying to make sense of what happened at the home. They were unable to enter the house until mid-morning because it was unsafe because of fire damage. “It probably will take days to collect the evidence,” Ireton said. The home is in the 2500 block of 153rd Avenue SE. Snohomish County Fire District 8 in Lake Stevens was called to the scene around 11:15 p.m. and received mutual aid, including from Snohomish. The home is near the border of the two fire districts. The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office also was on the scene trying to reconstruct the fire. See ATTACK, Page A2
Edmonds pier will be closed 3 months for repairs EDMONDS — The venerable Edmonds pier, which attracts an estimated 100,000 visitors a year to the city’s waterfront, will be closed for three months for repairs starting in mid-March. It won’t be just strollers and

bird-watchers who will feel the effect. The pier’s closure means there won’t be any place in Edmonds for people to cast their fishing lines into Puget Sound until the pier reopens. “It’s important for people to know that there won’t be an alternative,” said Jen Leach, the city’s environmental education

and sustainability coordinator. All waterfront shorelines in the city are part of a marine sanctuary, she said. “There is no fishing allowed.” The 944-foot L-shaped pier opened in 1975. The repairs are needed to strengthen its foundation, said Carrie Hite, the city’s director of parks, recreation, and

cultural services. The $1.6 million project is scheduled to be completed, and the pier reopened, in June. The pier is a magnet for visitors who use it as as spot to cast their fishing lines and crab traps into the water, as well as a favorite place for youngsters and adults to take in panoramic views of the
