Whistleblower Dies Inside Low-Barrier Plymouth Housing Building

Breaking

Plymouth Housing’s Lewiston-Scargo claims another victim. Mike Matzick’s lifeless body was found inside this “low barrier” apartment complex in downtown Seattle. His family suspects he died of a meth overdose because staff allegedly turn a blind eye to drug use.

Background

Matzick was one of our courageous whistleblowers who helped expose the deplorable conditions inside this problematic housing project back in February. It’s led to more scrutiny for Plymouth and calls for immediate change.

Fatalities in Plymouth Housing

I’ve reached out to Plymouth Housing staff for the number of residents who have died of drug overdoses this year in their facilities. So far no response. Since our devastating story aired, CEO Karen Lee has been on a crisis management tour.

Moving to Redmond

The city of Redmond is now entertaining the possibility of allowing Plymouth Housing to set up a low barrier complex in the downtown core. Neighbors want housing for the homeless but are against projects with a free for all open air drug culture.
