The King County Sheriff’s Office was delighted to witness Deputy Marty Hodge being publicly recognized at a recent Mariners game with his name illuminated on the big screen.

Deputy Hodge dedicated 21 years to service in the United States Army as a Master Sergeant in special forces, notably contributing to the first Iraq war and operation Enduring Freedom.

Following his military tenure, Deputy Hodge transitioned to a role at the King County Sheriff’s Office, where he has diligently served as a deputy for the past 22 years.

Deputy Hodge initially commenced off-duty work for the Mariners in 2009 and assumed the role of the visitors’ dugout Officer in 2019.

Beyond fulfilling security responsibilities for the players, employees, and fans, Deputy Hodge consistently exemplifies the “Mariners Way” through his amicable interaction with all fans and his deep-rooted affinity for the Mariners and baseball.
