Kent Deputy Police Chief Mike Painter is one of five finalists to be the new Olympia police chief.
Olympia City Manager Steve Hall plans to make a job offer to one of the five men by the end of November, according to The Olympian newspaper.
Painter, 50, was named last month as interim chief in Kent starting in January when Chief Steve Strachan leaves to be the new undersheriff to King County Sheriff Sue Rahr.
