New

Another violent incident in Seattle’s Little Saigon hood right in front of Hoa Mai Park. Authorities say two men got into an argument Friday afternoon and one of them pulled out a pistol and fired shots into the air. No one was hit but they both took off running.

Councilmember Woo Calls for Action

Councilmember Tanya Woo issued a statement about Wednesday’s shooting near the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St in Little Saigon. She says the open-air drug use and crime are devastating Asian American businesses and disrupting life for neighbors. She’s calling for more action by the city.

Drug Addicts Take Over

Meanwhile, drug addicts have taken over the brand-new Hoa Mai Park in Seattle’s Little Saigon. Look at this ongoing disaster.

Councilmember Morales’ Failure

Once again, Democratic Socialist Councilmember Tammy Morales is failing her Asian American constituents in District 2. Neighbors and business owners say she’s never around and does not respond to concerns about crime and open-air drug use in Little Saigon.

Bad Reviews

Look at some of the reviews so far about the newly opened Hoa Mai Park. It’s a full-blown drug den and another hangout for criminals.
