At least three Seattle news outlets are reporting this morning that King County Executive Ron Sims in, in fact, taking a senior position in the Obama Administration.
Sims and his staff have been dismissive of the rumors about a job change. Sims even welcomed county Councilman Larry Phillips into the race for executive, which will be on the ballot this fall.
But now KIRO TV, the Seattle Times and the Associated Press are reporting that Sims will become deputy secretary of the department of Housing and Urban Development.
