Notice how 3rd Ave & Pike St in downtown Seattle is relatively clear of drug addicts and crime? Well, this proves once again change is possible if the city wants to get things done.

Problem is, most of the problems have been pushed into Chinatown-ID. I recently caught up with Councilmember Tanya Woo who’s been sounding the alarm about this unfair game of Whack-A-Mole destroying her Asian American community. And with this week’s stabbing rampage in the CID, it proves once again she was right.
