New contract boosts Snohomish County corrections deputy pay by 18%

EVERETT — Snohomish County has agreed to a new contract with its jail deputies, completing negotiations that lasted two years.

Authorities at the Everett jail are hoping the pay hike will entice more people to become corrections deputies, as the Snohomish County Jail deals with a staffing shortage.

Currently, there are about 50 open positions for corrections deputies in the jail, with most employees working mandatory overtime, said Detention Captain David Hall.

The new contract covers 154 corrections deputies in the Snohomish County Corrections Guild, and will boost pay by 18%. It provides pay hikes of 8% in the first year, 6% in the second year, and 4% in the final year.
