Zero Solutions

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is getting hammered after another disruptive sweep under her new administration.

But the criticism isn’t coming from her comrades with far-left activist group Stop the Sweeps Seattle.

Homeless drug addicts say her promise to do things differently from the previous administration hasn’t materialized.

The vast majority of the people living at the MLK Jr. Way encampment rejected services and shelter options Wednesday morning, then fled into the deep woods.

We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez calls them the “service resistant.”

And right now, Mayor Wilson has offered zero solutions to address this group causing the most harm to themselves and the community.
