According to DSHS, federal Medicaid auditors stopped paying for new admissions to the institutions after routine inspections in August 2016.
Auditors cited Fircrest School for failing to provide active treatment of residents and gave the institution a year to comply with federal rules. They returned last September and found the problems had not been fixed.

On Monday, December 11, 2017, a divided Shoreline City Council voted against imposing a $20 license fee to fund maintenance of sidewalks in Shoreline.
The vote was 4-3. Voting for the fee were Will Hall, Keith McGlashan, and Shari Winstead. Voting against were Jesse Salomon, Keith Scully, and Chris Roberts. An obviously conflicted Doris McConnell, who said she hated going against staff recommendations, broke the tie with her no vote.
People want sidewalks
Shari Winstead talked about running for office and hearing over and over from people how much they wanted sidewalks. It has been a topic of conversation for the eight years she has been on the council. McGlashan said it was a topic when he went on the council 12 years ago. He said the council even tried using asphalt walkways as a cost-savings measure.
Safety, access, and federal regulations
Besides citizen requests for sidewalks, Will Hall, Winstead, and Keith McGlashan expressed their concern about the safety of the sidewalks. McGlashan reminded the council of the incident when former councilmember Chris Eggen came to a meeting with his face bruised from taking a fall after tripping on a raised sidewalk. People in wheelchairs, pushing strollers, or just those with some mobility issues find the existing sidewalks difficult and dangerous. Few of the sidewalks meet the requirements of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Beside safety issues, Winstead also expressed concern about the city's liability in case of accidents.
Old sidewalks or new and the Sidewalk Advisory Committee (SAC)
The currently operating Sidewalk Advisory Committee was consulted about the license tab fee and the majority were against it. They did not want to fund just maintenance, but wanted to request funding for new and old sidewalks on a prioritized basis when they finish their work in the late spring.
Hall and McGlashan disagreed, saying that you can't build new sidewalks if you can't maintain the existing ones.
