Drug Addicts Suspected

Witnesses reported flames and smoke billowing out of a building Tuesday evening in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. In reality, biz owners say it was a dumpster fire which is so symbolic of what’s happening in this neighborhood. Of course drug addicts are suspected of causing this chaos. Meanwhile, Councilmember Tammy Morales has abandoned Asian Americans in her district. And at this point, constituents are also losing patience with Mayor Bruce Harrell. 12th Ave & Jackson St should be declared a war zone.

Next to Asian Grocery Store

Right next to an Asian grocery store. Typical.
