Dying City

Do not come to Seattle this Labor Day weekend.

Unless you want to see mentally ill people running through the streets, homeless drug addicts destroying neighborhoods, and a black market of stolen goods being fueled by violent criminals.

Sunday afternoon, I visited three hots spots in Chinatown-ID, SODO, and downtown. It’s worse than ever.

Now you know why socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s approval ratings are hitting new lows. She has lost this city.
