Prudence, don't worry- King County sends all their sex-offenders over here. (The newspaper did a story on that not too long ago; seems the PO's over there tell the parolees that Spokane County is just so much less expensive...
).
I don't see where there is a problem with publishing the information. The persons have been convicted of a crime- it's better than branding their foreheads with a V, or cutting off their ears and such. Even so, a determined offender will not let any registry get in his or her way- just look at that Duncan creep in Idaho.
