Suspected White Supremacist Arrested in King County
Dakota Reed, a suspected white supremacist, was arrested last week at his mother's home in Lake Forest Park in King County.
Reed is accused of threatening to carry out a mass killing in Washington state, a violation of state hate crime statues, as the Daily Herald first reported. After Reed was arrested, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Department and the FBI seized 12 guns and ammo from Dakota Reed's home in Monroe.
Reed, according to court records, has a history of posting racist and anti-Semitic content online. He allegedly posted photos of himself making Nazi salutes with AR-15-style and AK-47-style weapons and allegedly pledged allegiance to the KKK and the Northwest Front, a far right-wing group that calls itself "a political organization of Aryan men and women who recognize that an independent and sovereign White nation in the Pacific Northwest is the only possibility for the survival of the White race on this continent."
Under a series of pseudonyms, Reed also allegedly posted multiple threats of violence, including, “Gonna make the news some more and shoot some Jews in 2025." The FBI has apparently been watching Reed for at least a month and alerted Snohomish County about the potential threat last week. Area Jews are, understandably, concerned, especially in light of the recent mass killing at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh and an alleged neo-Nazi attack on a black man in Lynnwood last weekend.
