Little Saigon Left Behind: Crime, Chaos, and Political Silence
View at XConditions Worse Than Ever
Seattle media outlets are scared to send in reporters to spotlight ongoing crime and chaos plaguing the Little Saigon neighborhood. I don’t blame them, it’s a major safety risk.
So I had to call independent journalist Nick Shirley for another perspective.
Shirley agrees the conditions on the ground are now worse than ever. He noted cops rarely stop in this hood or come out of their cars to patrol the streets.
It seems like Mayor Bruce Harrell has thrown in the towel on this community even though the November General Election is only two months away.
But mayoral candidate Katie Wilson hasn’t shown up either, failing to seize on an opportunity to get Asian American votes.
No matter who wins, neighbors know they are screwed and on their own.
