A long-awaited forensic report on Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan’s missing text messages from a key period during last year’s turbulent racial justice protests has yet to materialize as Durkan prepares to leave office this month — and officials aren’t saying when it will.
It’s been over a year since the city attorney’s office hired a private contractor to analyze the matter and more than five months since the office initially said it aimed to share the contractor’s completed report.
The contractor, The Crypsis Group, has continued to bill the city for its work; Crypsis had been paid $407,000 as of Nov. 29, up from $201,000 as of July 31, according to the city attorney’s office. But the office couldn’t say this week when the report would be available or why the work is taking so long.
