For the past few weeks, I’ve been watching parts of Seattle’s Chinatown-ID disintegrate before my eyes. Drug dealers, addicts, and criminals now own Hoa Mai Park on King St.

That’s why this week’s stabbing rampage should not be a surprise to anyone. City leaders like socialist CM Tammy Morales have allowed this culture of lawlessness to flourish. Morales has totally abandoned her district.
