All in on Seattle
Massive turnout Saturday for Mayor Bruce Harrell’s (@MayorofSeattle) One Seattle Day of Service to help revitalize the community. Thousands of volunteers mobilized across the city to clean up trash, graffiti, and serve in various ways. Tremendous effort by faith based groups like Reach Ministry (@reachministrywa) and homeless outreach group We Heart Seattle (@weheartseattle). With that said, many volunteers also got a glimpse of the urban decay and problematic parts of the city still ravaged by homelessness and the fentanyl crisis. I walked through the notorious 3rd Ave & Cherry St. drug den with former Seattle Seahawks (@Seahawks) player Jordan Babineaux (@jordanbabineaux. Nothing surprises him anymore. Btw, the “trap tents” have returned. #Seattle
Sightings in the Wild
I was surprised to see so many familiar faces Saturday morning. unDivided Podcast host Brandi Kruse (@BrandiKruse,) Seattle City Council candidate Olga Sagan (@OlgaSaganWA,) and WA State Rep. 41st Legislative Dist. candidate Al Rosenthal (@AlRosenthal2.) Also finally ran into Seattle Councilmember Andrew Lewis (@CMAndrewJLewis.) I did a break out interview with him that I’ll be posting later. Everyone pitched in for the sake of the city. #Seattle
