Happening Now

After heavy scrutiny and national media attention, King County Executive Dow Constantine (@kcexec) is moving in concrete blocks to address RV’s along the notorious Green River Rd encampment. There is also a massive multi day clean-up starting November 6. But neighbors say they’ve seen this act before and the homeless usually come right back. As for the vandalized field nearby, it appears the county will try to fix the damage. But Valor soccer CEO Dean Aldridge claims Constantine is more concerned about protecting the construction equipment rather than the safety of the kids. In case you missed it, Aldridge also went on Jesse Watters Prime Time this week. Watters absolutely roasted King County and described the encampment as a “cracked out Ewok Village.” Watters went on to say, “I’ve seen Hamas tunnels that look better than this.”
