In October 2019, Herbold contacted Seattle's chief of police to report what she thought was an RV stolen and parked in front of her home as a prank in West Seattle, which belonged to a homeless couple. She was not seeking the removal of the RV. She subsequently acknowledged that she had violated the council's ethics code by contacting a department head directly and paid a $500 fine to the Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission. She stated that she believed the RV was stolen and had been parked in front of her home as a political stunt.[6]

In 2023, Herbold pushed for an amendment to Seattle's Comprehensive Plan that would impose "impact fees" on new housing.[7]
