Apparently this is happening because the state patrol has been deputized by the US Marshals, so they're federal instead of state now, or however that works.

So IE they are now free to actually do their jobs, so the job is getting done.

EDIT: I think I'm wrong, I was thinking of Oregon. Did Seattle's state troopers get deputized too or are they actually doing their job on their own?
