T-4 Days Until World Cup Comes to Seattle

Just days before the FIFA World Cup in Seattle, someone is firing steel BB’s at homeless drug addicts near Dr. Jose Rizal Park.

This area is just minutes from the stadium where soccer matches will be played.

Neighbors say they are seeing a cluster of new tents after Wilson aggressively swept encampments near the downtown tourist corridor.

The mayor is accused of trying to mask the city’s drug crisis by pushing addicts to other parts of the city like Beacon Hill, Chinatown-ID, and now the East Duwamish Greenbelt.

As long as fans do not see the urban decay and human suffering, the Wilson administration likely believes that’s a win.
