Breaking

Another fire on @WSDOT property Thursday afternoon in the same #Chinatown-International District homeless encampment ravaged by multiple INFERNOS. It appears accidental. How much longer will elected officials allow this? #Seattle @CMTammyMorales @MayorofSeattle @GovInslee @kcexec @KC_RHA

Chinatown International District A Priority?

Super Bowl Sunday encampment inferno on @WSDOT property. No sign of @CMTammyMorales coming out to support her district after recent string of homeless related fires. Where is @KC_RHA and Marc Dones? @GovInslee@MayorofSeattle#Seattle

Suspected Meth Lab

Last Thursday, an explosion on @WSDOT property in #Chinatown-International District. Once again @CMTammyMorales MIA. @KC_RHA @GovInslee @MayorofSeattle#Seattle

Massive Inferno

February 3rd, another camp on @WSDOT property up in smoke in #Chinatown-International District. Notice a theme here? State ignores problems in this minority community. @CMTammyMorales MIA. Where is the equity lens for Asian Americans? @GovInslee @KC_RHA #Seattle
