In April and August 2021, King County impounded and then released aggressive dogs associated with this property. At least two dogs associated with the property were ordered permanently removed from the County before this attack. The County did not take the necessary steps to ensure both dogs were removed. Aggressive dogs remained on the property.
The lawsuit alleged the County was aware of the dangers associated with this property—including vicious dogs— and failed to take appropriate action to address these dangers. The lawsuit also alleged that both dogs involved in the attack were known to the County to be aggressive and had been impounded by the County and improperly released. The lawsuit further alleged one of the dogs that attacked the jogger was subject to the August 2021 removal order.
The County maintained that it could not determine the identity of either attacking dog, despite an investigation.
Investigation during the lawsuit revealed the County had destroyed the bodies of both dogs, and was unable to locate the investigative report documenting evidence from the attack. On August 15, 2025, the Court issued sanctions against the County for this conduct.
The lawsuit also named both alleged dog owners, Skylar Griffin and Danielle Pulliam. King County has not pursued criminal charges against either owner for the conduct of their dogs.
Lol they sure as fuck were going to settle if the judge already gave them sanctions.
And, of course, they omit the breed.
