Another 911 Call from Plymouth Housing

This is “Housing First”

Another crazy incident at Plymouth Crossing in Bellevue’s Eastgate neighborhood Tuesday morning.

911 dispatchers say a call came in about a 65 year old woman in a wheelchair going on a bender. She was suspected of using meth or fentanyl.

Just in the past couple weeks, the FactoriaLLS team has documented more than a dozen cases of fights, drug use, and other disturbances. There were likely more incidents that were missed.

This Plymouth Housing/PorchLight campus triggers the most 911 calls in the city.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is “Housing First” and “harm reduction” in action. Your taxpayer dollars are funding all this crime and chaos. This is what Bellevue Mayor Lynne Robinson voted for and what WA Governor Bob Ferguson just endorsed. Make it make sense?
