Harger: King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson is accused of stalking his ex. He wears an ankle monitor to work. He still won’t resign

King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson, who oversees property valuations for 2.3 million residents, is accused of stalking his former fiancée and wears a court-ordered GPS ankle monitor to work. Arrested in July 2025 and charged in March 2026 with gross misdemeanors for violating a no-contact order, Wilson has pleaded not guilty and refused to resign despite unanimous demands from the King County Council (twice) and calls from the Seattle Women’s Commission and Seattle Times editorial board.
