The Seahawks Super Bowl parade drew hundreds of thousands of people into Seattle.

You would think Mayor Katie Wilson would sweep tents near the Space Needle, one of the crown jewels in the city.

Instead, a massive drug tent stood out like a sore thumb. Cops walked by without batting an eye.

Another embarrassing moment for the Wilson administration that clearly isn’t ready for the big time.
