UPDATE: It’s been a very long eight years to piece together why Gold Bar Washington is going broke hiding public records. . . this week, we finally have the missing link to the largest corruption scandal in Washington State history.
With no surprise, it involves former Washington State Attorney General “Sister Sara” Di Vittorio tampering with public records inside the Department of Corrections (DoC) and at Snohomish County Dept. of Emergency Management, according to a whistleblower who came forward last week “ Crystal Hill disseminated your Washington State Bar application and investigative file to John Pennington and Dept of Corrections employee Lonn Turner…”
But then the WSBA got involved in helping Geoffrey Gibbs and Seth Fine cover up their criminal racketeering conduct – quashing criminal sabotaging of the city’s water system as a favor to then Executive Aaron Reardon- a US Federal attorney, now working for the WSBA, was able to misuse her connections with the fusion center.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusion_center
The racketerists herein illegally gained access into a “spider” of information on Block’s family members attempting to extort Block just like they did to former council member in 2007. But by now, Crystal Hill ( convicted of bank fraud using an alias of Berg in 2005) had illegally possessed and disseminated medical files via Washington State emails in March 2009, the Washington State Bar to hide their criminal racketeering ( wire) crimes hired Scmipff to help conceal public records/files. Files that were illegally obtained ( without a warrant) and illegally disseminated via electronic means. Dissemination of medical files for a Mass residents is prohibited and is a federal felony, amounts to Rackeetering, punishable by 20-30 years in federal prison.
A file that Geoffrey Gibbs and Seth Fine both members of the Washington State Bar Boards in 2009 stole then disseminated the stolen file to Gold Bar’s then lawyer’s paralegal Barbara Johnson ( Weed Gaafstra, Benson) who then disseminated the stolen files to Crystal Hill, who then disseminated the stolen files to former Gold Bar council member Lonn Turner ( at LTurner@DoC.wa.gov) and disgraced Snohomish County political appointee John E. Pennington (man responsible for the rape of a 5 year old child from Cowlitz County, Washington).
While working at the DoC, Sister Sara tampered with public records as a ” risk management” a felony in Washington State and certainly Racketeering. According to a whistleblower, to wire crimes for high ranking WSBA members and disgraced former Washington State lobbyist G. Geoffrey Gibbs ( see below).
Unfortunately for the WSBA, Crystal Hill, John Pennington, Lonn Turner, G. Geoffrey Gibbs, and Sister Sara Di Vittorio, Gold Bar had a clerk ( who was caught via hidden camera stealing from Gold Bar resulting in her termination in 2012) who wasn’t sharpest tool in the shed. . . it will be interesting to see if the Courts are going to help us abolish the WSBA or just simply reform it?
Everett attorney and WA State Bar Board member Geoffrey Gibbs caught red handed via public records filing false statements with Judicial Ethics Commission, and violating Sherman Anti-Trust to assist Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office in going after any lawyer who exposes corruption involving attorney Geoffrey Gibbs, the criminals inside the WA State Bar ( Linda Eide, Lin O’Dell, and Doug Ende), and Snohomish County criminal Racketeering outfit (an RICO Enterprise operating from Snohomish County Judicial and Prosecutor’s Office).
In 2009, attorney Geoffrey Gibbs misused his political offices to assist Crystal Hill Pennington, John E. Pennington, Aaron Reardon, and Joe Beavers to cover up the Karl Marjerle sabotaging the City of Gold Bar’s water system. Racketeering captured in public records.
Attorney Geoffrey Gibbs has been sued for Racketeering five times in the last two years for his criminal conduct. An email from Everett Prosecutor Michael Fischer from G. Geoffrey Gibbs has Gibbs sending an email to a Prosecutor demanding that he file criminal assault charges against Carolyn Ryggs so that she will have to expend a very large retainer to hire counsel. Because Gibbs was in a land dispute with the Ryggs after public records confirmed that was using Judge Michael Downes to steal Carolyn Ryggs’s land.
Geoffrey Gibbs’s fraud in the 1990s as illustrated by the Washington Public Disclosure Commission is well documented below.
Now, Geoffrey Gibbs criminal Enterprise and public records confirm that Gibbs and Prosecutor Seth Fine are the main reason why Snohomish County yields over 40 % of disciplined lawyer inside the WA State Bar, while the highest populated county, King County ( Seattle) , only yields 12 %. According to our counsel, clear Sherman Anti-Trust violations; a federal felony.
We’re also working on a story linking the Klan to the ” Ok Boys Home” a story worth waiting for.
Just another stellar example of why the Washington State Bar will be abolished.

My step-grandpa in his later years was getting a little less coherent, when I was younger he was a very prejudiced man, he only loved one black man and that was Robert, but once a black family moved into the neighborhood he sold his house and built a new one in Valparaiso, in Sherwood Forest no less. Although I never once heard him use a derogatory term, the message was clear.
He owned the Hy-Speed car wash in Gary Indiana close to the Jackson home, yes as in the Jackson 5, Janet, and the creepy parents. I would go over and play with them and it drove my Grampa Joe nuts, he’d make me take a shower before I got in the car and I was never allowed to eat anything there or go inside their house.
One day when I was back home visiting I walked into the den and Grandpa was sitting there with the biggest smile on his face. He was watching Michael Jackson. I said Grandpa whatcha watching, he looked at me and said. This is a great country, do you know how I know that? I said no Grandpa I don’t. He points to the TV and said there is that little boy you used to play with. I said I know Grandpa but what does that have to do with anything? He said only in America can a poor little black boy grow up to be a rich white woman and then he smiled. As much as I didn’t like the message he had a point.
It’s like that with G. Geoffrey Gibbs, only in Washington can a convicted lobbyist, grow up to be on the Board of Governor’s and treasurer of the Washington State Bar Association, then become a Snohomish County Commissioner and get some of the most lucrative contracts in the county
Waste management would be foaming at the mouth if they truly understood the amount of trash just rolling around our county
George “G.” Geoffrey Gibbs. a lobbyist took many a politician, lawyer and judge on trips to Sunriver resorts, fishing trips in BC and on bus rides down to Jubitz Truck Stop/Ponderosa Lounge where having a hooker or a “lot lizard would simply be redundant. A reporter said as much but I checked with a former trucker and he immediately got embarrassed, turned red and told me to never go there. I’m going to take that to mean the reporter was telling the truth.
Looking at Pennington’s divorce records it shows that his then wife also complained to the courts that she has gotten a sexually transmitted disease from him 3 times during their marriage, I guess we know why now.
Remember, Pennington and Appelwick were “Dear Friends” since the 90’s
So… behold the power of the newspaper archives:
We found numerous stories about Mr Gibbs, Judge Appelwick, Joe King and few other power players in this state. Stories that have basically been “washed” from the internet which is a common ploy used by many politicians and lawyers to hide the truth.
Seems our school super Randy Dorn was one of his recipients (which might explain why so many disgraced senators, and state legislators end up in the Education system: some midterm
Other power players include but are not limited to:
Senator Al Bauer who oddly enough is out and about filing ethics complaints I guess he would know…
Representative Joe King who left Olympia to start his own lobbying company or political strategy company.
Although Appeals Court Judges seems to have gotten the most benefit from this relationship, even today…
Not only does Gibbs have an Appelwick in his pocket he has learned well and placed people from his current law firm on:
The Public Disclosure Commission,
The Commission on Judicial Conduct,
The Washington State Bar Association,
Anyway here are some of the newspaper clippings we have gotten so far. I have literally 1000’s more documents thanks to the hard work of someone who spent the day gathering the records… There are more records but I am still trying to put them in albums so that they can follow some type of pattern and are better understood.
On that note, sorry I have been AWOL but please remember I am working on quite a few huge stories, and I write this paper mostly by myself but trust me when I say: It will be worth the wait.
Great job Brandia at Www.snocoreporter.com another criminal caught red handed filing false statements with the Judicial Ethics Commission ( affirming under oath that he never had problems with fraud, when in fact the Public Disclosure Commission revoked G.Geoffrey Gibbs’s lobbying license for fraud.
More on Everett attorney Geoffrey Gibbs, John E. Pennington and Marlin Applewick’s linked to using lobbying resources to fund a whore house in Oregon coming soon.
GOLD BAR REPORTER 
Former Mayor Joe Beavers stalking Gold Bar Reporter after public records released
Joe Beavers, former Gold Bar Washington Mayor caught via public records in racketeering scheme
At 12:10 PM today (6/20/16), former Gold Bar Washington Mayor Joe Beavers was stalking the Gold Bar Reporter in Monroe, after public records confirm that Joe Beavers withheld public records documenting that the City of Gold Bar council members violated the Open Public Meetings Act, agreed not to report employee Karl Majerle’s tampering of the City water system, and then misappropriated over $1,300,000.00 dollars from the City of Gold Bar’s water funds to cover up his criminal racketeering scheme.
See Public Records withheld for over 8 years PRR 09092009 as of today the penalties and fees total over $1,000,000.00.
John Pennington FIRED after he killed 43 people in the Oso mudslide disaster
In late 2011, Joe Beavers threatened former Gold Bar council member Lie that he didn’t shut up “ we will charge you with a crime.” Joe Beavers physical threats to maliciously prosecute Lie were witnessed by then Gold Bar police Chief Robert Martin, and his threats to have Lie charged with a crime were a direct result of Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office illegally withholding public records involving John E. Pennington’s illegal use and dissemination of sealed non-criminal history records and mental health records of his opponents.
Illegal access to non-criminal history and mental health record is a crime under RCW 10.97 and federal laws.
In 2011, John Pennington’s Homeland Security Clearance was stripped as a result of his criminal conduct.
Unfortunately for the Gold Bar City Council ( Richard Norris, Lonn Turner, Dorothy Croshaw, Jay Prueher, Joe Beavers) and former Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington, 42 U.S.C § 300i-1 mandates public officials to report tampering with the public water systems a federal crime:
Tampering with public water systems
(b) Attempt or threat
(c) Civil penalty
(d)“Tamper” defined
For over eight years, Mayor Joe Beavers, Crystal Hill Pennington ( changed her name from Berg to cover up that she plead guilty to bank fraud in 2005) and Linda Loen withheld public records confirming beyond any shadow of a doubt that the City of Gold Bar and its public officials withheld public records that amount to racketeering ( frauding out the citizens of Gold Bar of its public monies) using electronic means ( email communication).
But the City Council didn’t do it alone, they had the assistance of Association of Washington Cities ( AWC) paralegal Eileen Lawrence, and the City’s law firm of Weed, Gaffstra and Benson ( Snohomish, WA).
To assist the City of Gold Bar in covering their racketeering crimes of fraud and not reporting the federal crime of tampering with the City’s water system, the Washington State Bar Association’s (WSBA) high ranking member Geoffrey Gibbs ( convicted of fraud in the 1990s and permanently suspended from lobbying by the Attorney General of Washington State can be viewed at https://goldbarreporter.org/2016/01/29/wsba-board-and-snohomish-county-attorney-caught-filking-false-statements-with-state-offices/) stole the Gold Bar Reporter’s WSBA application file, sent it via electronic email to Thomas Gaffstra ( a friend of Geoffrey Gibbs) from the City’s law firm of Weed Gaffstra and Benson ( Snohomish) former employee Barbara Johnson.
Barbara Johnson them disseminated the stolen WSBA files to Gold Bar’s then Mayor Crystal Hill Pennington ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud 2005) and then Hill disseminated it to Snohomish County’s Director of Emergency Management political bum John E. Pennington.
John Pennington then misused his Homeland Security Clearance to pull a spider of information as it relates to Gold Bar Reporter’s out of state family members. Snohomish County public records officer Diana Rose affirmed under oath that she removed public records from Snohomish County and delivered the Gold Bar Reporter’s mental health records to the City of Gold Bar.
When Ms. Rose was asked under oath what was the CD she illegally removed from Snohomish County Dept of Emergency Management, Rose said “your mental health records.” The Gold Bar Reporter then said “Ms. Rose would it surprise you to know that I have never been treated for or even suffered from mental health issues of any kind.” Ms. Rose then started to tear up and Snohomish County Prosecutors Sean Reay and Sara Di Vittorio ( both being sued for racketeering in US Federal Court) started screaming for Rose not to answer questions.
Diana Rose is also being sued for racketeering in US Federal District Court and depositions are expected to begin at the end of 2016.
The City is still illegally withholding the email communication about the stolen WSBA files. We did get partial release of an email documenting that the stolen files were disseminated via email, but Joe Beavers “stripped’ the attachment from the email in violation of Washington State Supreme Court’s holding in O’Neil v Shoreline.
Washington State is only one of a hand full of states that makes removing, tampering, of destruction of public records a felony crime.
On January 6, 2016, John E. Pennington was terminated from Snohomish County because instead of doing his job, public records released under RCW 42.56 document that he criminally harassed his opponents on the Sky Valley Chronicle. The Sky Valley Chronicle was set up by former disgraced executive Aaron Reardon to control the political message in the Sky Valley in 2007.
Public records released from King County Major Crimes Unit confirm that additional writers on the Chronicle were Kevin Thomas Hulten ( now living under an assumed name of Kevin Thomas in Los Gatos California).
See http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20130214/NEWS01/702149999
Kevin Hulten’s racketeering crimes exposed first by the Gold Bar Reporters. But from a public records received today, it appears that Kevin Hulten’s little racketeering scandal unpealing one rotten layer at a time, because Washington State issued a subpoena.
See Kevin Hulten Subpoena’s
A big break came last month when public records activist Arthur West threatened to sue the City for refusing to produce public records for years.
In March 2016, Snohomish County Superior Court held that the City of Gold Bar violated the Public Records Act when it withheld records relating to a WSBA complaint then Mayor Joe Beavers ordered our City clerk to write for former council member Dorothy Crohsaw.
Once Joe Beavers ordered the clerk to write the WSBA complaints, the complaints became public records. The City of Gold Bar continues to withhold records relating to the WSBA complaints Joe Beavers ordered Gold Bar clerk Penny Brenton to write and former Gold Bar council member Dorothy Croshaw falsely certified under oath she wrote.
How we know is simple: a private investigator interviewed Penny Brenton, who admitted on recording, that Joe Beavers ORDERED her to write WSBA complaints.
42 USC 1983 makes Joe Beavers misuse of taxpayers monies a clear civil rights charge; and Beavers obstruction of justice in the Karl Marjerle tampering of the City’s water system amounts to racketeering.
As a result, the City of Gold Bar’s most recent public records release we now have a enough overturn every favorable decision issued in any matter involving the county and city officials for racketeering and 1983 gross civil rights violations.
From a former council member, we know that Crystal Hill was “sexting” nude pictures of herself, just as Kevin Thomas Hulten did on Snohomish County’s iPhone.
For over eight years, Joe Beavers lied to the citizens of Gold Bar claiming that the Gold Bar Reporters request for access to the below records involved former Mayor Crystal Hill’s sexting nude pictures of herself with a Gold Bar Blackberry device.
Crystal Hill’s sexting pictures are still being illegally withheld in violation of RCW 42.56 ( Public Records Act).
Below are the public records from Gold Bar relevant to this story, and Joe Beavers, Linda Loen, and Crystal Hill Pennington misappropriated over 1.3 Million dollars of the City’s water funds to conceal the 2009 Gold Bar governing body’s criminal racketeering conduct.
Click here PRR 09092009
In 2013, the City of Gold Bar was ordered by Snohomish County Superior Court to lodge two sets of public records illegally withheld from the Gold Bar Reporters, one with 32 records stolen from the WSBA,and then disseminated by Crystal Hill Pennington into public records, and 66 pages of records herein.
I’d like our readers to know why the City failed to lodge the 66 records herein is because the 32 records it did lodge were files stolen with the assistance of the WSBA and the disseminated by Crystal Hill to Lonn Turner (Dept of Corrections, Monroe) and Snohomish County’s disgraced director John E. Pennington
( see (https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/09/17/snohomish-countys-dark-secrets-uncovered/) , Department of Corrections attorneys (working for the Attorney General’s Office in 2009, Sara Di Vittorio and Miquel Tempski) who feloniously removed public records in its effort to reduce liability to the Dept of Corrections and Snohomish County.
Recently, the Washington Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen denied access to the Gold Bar Reporter’s stolen WSBA files in the City of Gold Bar’s possession, because if released the WSBA would be abolished and exposed for criminal conduct.
This conduct amounts to racketeering and federal suits have been filed with depositions expected to start later this year.
When voting, one may consider Justice Barbara Madsen’s disrespect for our open government laws here in Washington in favor of protecting the criminals inside the Washington State Bar Association who are stealing from our elderly, as evidenced by Lin O’Dell’s Order issued by Stevens County Judge Monasmith ( see https://goldbarreporter.org/2015/10/04/license-to-steal-with-the-assistance-of-the-washington-state-bar/)
There’s over 35,000 records that the City just released after illegally withholding public records for over eight (8) years, including John E. Pennington making racist comments about President Obama inside Gold Bar public emails, so stay tuned, its going to worth the wait!
