Nothing to Hide

I’m investigating several criminal incidents related to the notorious Plymouth Housing/PorchLight homeless drug campus in Bellevue. More serious problems are now spilling onto the nearby Polaris at Eastgate apartments.

On Tuesday, I visited PorchLight to get a better sense of what’s going on.

As you can see in this video, I thought the interaction was cordial. But as soon as I left, they called the police on me.

Btw, Bellevue cops are watching everything on street cameras. I’ve got nothing to hide.
