The White Center License Agency was closed today at authorities from the King County License Agency.
Update
A statement from King County's Cameron Satterfield explained why the White Center License Agency was closed today.
"At about 7:45 this morning, representatives from state Department of Licensing (DOL) and King County Records and Licensing Services Division (RALS) went to White Center License Agency (WCLA). Washington State Patrol officers were on hand to provide security.
DOL and RALS had been reviewing WCLA's work for a couple of months. The owner and an employee of WCLA were interviewed, after which RALS served subagency contract termination letters.
WCLA is closed until further notice. No arrests were made.
Residents who need licensing services should visit another license subagent location. A list is available at www.kingcounty.gov/vehicle.
No further information will be available until at least Monday."
Original post
The White Center License Agency was closed and computers and licensing gear taken today by the Vehicle Licensing Agency for King County. The reason for the closure was not announced but the West Seattle Herald has calls out to the agency and to the owner of the White Center License Agency for further details.
According to Christine Anthony, Communications and Education Office Washington State Department of Licensing
"King County is actually the lead on this closure. The Vehicle Licensing Office is a subcontractor for King County, and they are the agency that is closing the office. The Department of Licensing is onsite to provide technical assistance and collect licensing equipment (computers and printers) and the State Patrol is there to monitor the situation."
In 2013 the office was closed for alleged fraudulent dealings.
