Mayor Wilson Plays Whack-A-Mole

Mega drug encampment sweep is underway in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood.

More than 30 tents are being eviscerated in front of the Fred Meyer. Watch as this man simply drags all his belongings and sets up shop on the other side of the parking lot.

The game of Whack-A-Mole continues under socialist Mayor Katie Wilson.

YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira, We Heart Seattle, and I recently spotlighted this crime-ridden hell hole that’s been blamed for sex trafficking, violence, and fentanyl dealing on the regular.
