What Are You Voting For?

I bet HOMELESS CRISIS+PUBLIC SAFETY are top issues, especially in #Seattle. But did you know, Kitsap County(Port Orchard, Bremerton)+unincorporated parts like Silverdale are struggling w/same issues? Here’s a preview.

Environmental Disaster in the Making

Important salmon species SPAWN in Clear Creek. Yet Silverdale residents concerned pollution and runoff from homeless encampments will wreck this place. This is a HIDDEN CRISIS in the woods. Waiting for officials to respond.

Disturbing Find

I’m working on in depth story about homeless crisis exploding in Kitsap County region. Neighbors say Level 3 sex offender is living in woods not that far from a middle school. But when we went to back to site, he was gone. @KitsapCoSheriff has been notified.

Hidden Crisis in the Woods

This past summer, I also took a deep dive into the HOMELESS situation destroying forests in King County and #Seattle. It’s all still there.

What’s the Plan?

Law enforcement also paralyzed because they’re still beholden to city, county, and state law makers. Nothing has changed in unincorporated King County since summer.
