KOMO News reported last night that former Seattle Sonic’s first-round draft pick Robert Swift, who lost his home to foreclosure, refuses to leave his former property.
It turns out that home is located in Sammamish.
A simple internet search of “Robert Swift” and “Sammamish” shows Swift is the owner of a home in the 21000 block of Southeast 40th Place.
A woman, who didn’t want to be identified by the news organization, said she bought the foreclosed home in January and that Swift refuses to leave.
Property valuation of the 6,000-square-foot home and property totaled more than $1.3 million in 2010.
KOMO recorded video of cans of beer in the yard of the home and vehicles that appeared they haven’t moved in some time.
According to KOMO, the new owner has gone to court and, according to records, Swift has gone past his grace period to leave.Swift was drafted by the Sonics in 2004 directly out of his Bakersfield, Calif., high school.
