Overdose City

Early Sunday morning, first responders saved the life of a fentanyl addict tweaking at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St. in Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood. The protocol is transport them to Harborview Medical Center and then stabilize. But this woman will likely refuse treatment and be released back on the streets. Why do our politicians keep allowing this insane cycle to continue?
