Out of Control

Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood is out of control. The drug den and black market of stolen goods is thriving Thursday afternoon.

Dudes are openly selling meth and also talking about buying high quality fentanyl from Honduran drug dealers nearby.

Meanwhile, no cops in sight and addicts are driving a hard bargain on stolen laundry detergent.

From now until the FIFA World Cup in June, I will be giving weekly updates from this Asian American community that’s now a containment zone and human dumping ground for the city.

Mayor Katie Wilson has no solutions and is allowing this minority community to be victimized again.
