Fraud and possibly other criminal activity led to closure of West Seattle licensing agency

The recent and sudden closure of the West Seattle License Agency at 5048 California Ave SW on Dec. 31 was due to the criminal involvement of at least one and possibly more employees of the company according to the King County Prosecutor's office. Additionally according to one person, Ryan O'Keven, he's not the only victim.

O'Keven said he was contacted on Sept. 7, by an investigator with the Washington State Department of Licensing who he said was doing an audit on the agency, a sub contractor to the State.
