No Explanation City of Seattle homelessness czar Jon Grant has abruptly quit, leaving Mayor Katie Wilson holding the bag on the massive drug fueled street crisis. No particular reason was given, but the city issued the following statement saying Grant “chose to resign effective June 1st after playing a key role in advancing the mayor’s highest priority: accelerating the development of new shelters with wraparound services to bring people inside.” My only interaction with Grant happened this past March when he refused to answer questions on the record about the mayor’s new tiny house villages. Grant’s Background Grant is a former executive with the Low Income Housing Institute, the organization behind the controversial tiny house villages known for open-air fentanyl Read More ›

No Outreach In Sight We are just weeks away from the FIFA World Cup Games in Seattle. Mayor Katie Wilson is furiously trying to sweep homeless drug addicts out of the downtown core. But the mess is ending up in nearby Chinatown-ID and Beacon Hill. I spent several hours overnight in these hoods and it is worse than ever. Dozens of people are in the streets and public parks smoking fetty and starting fires to stay warm. No cops or outreach workers in sight. It is a lawless playground. Why is Wilson allowing these communities to devolve into a human dumping ground?

Disaster Area Why is Seattle’s Lewis Park still open? It is a full blown drug den and playground for addicts, fentanyl dealers, and sex traffickers. It’s also home to many missing people. We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez and I went looking for Benjamin George Petry this week. Sadly, we did not find him. But we saw so many problems on full display like the inflow crisis. Most of the people slinging meth and fetty aren’t even from this area. We also met a baby faced 19-year-old addicted to all kinds of drugs. Meanwhile, elected officials are paralyzed by this issue and the city has turned into a lawless playground.

Cost of Doing Business Homeless drug addicts are now using Lime bikes to prop up their encampments in Seattle. Company workers gathering these rentals must navigate through dangerous encampments to reclaim their property. Cost of doing business in this city under socialist mayor Katie Wilson.

Game of Whack-A-Mole Continues After months of paralysis by the city, more than 30 drug tents are being swept out of Chinatown-ID today. Problem is, the vast majority of people here are fentanyl addicts so they are refusing to take shelter and services being offered by the city. They’re just moving down the block and the game of Whack-A-Mole continues. This is exactly why Mayor Katie Wilson’s idea to build more tiny houses to address the street crisis is a waste of taxpayer dollars. Only Homeless INC and the builders will benefit as elected officials race to clear drug encampments before the FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, We Heart Seattle is getting people into treatment and recovery, one person at a Read More ›

Canceled The Seattle Public Library says there will be no more People’s Harm Reduction Alliance workshops at local branches this year. This news comes after staff with the controversial harm reduction provider got triggered by my video recording, and abruptly canceled the drug paraphernalia workshop. SPL is also responding to some of my questions about FREE Narcan needle kits being given out at the counter with easy access to kids. SPL History SPL says it has provided information about overdose prevention and resources, such as nasal naloxone, since April 2025. Naloxone Seattle & King County Public Health added intramuscular naloxone in January of this year because it is apparently cheaper than the nasal spray. Concerns About Needles An SPL spokesperson Read More ›

Harm Reduction Isn’t Cool The People’s Harm Reduction Alliance calls harm reduction supplies “crack kits.” It includes condoms and drug pipes. ZERO push by this taxpayer funded organization for treatment and recovery. PHRA is being allowed to present “how to use” trainings at the Seattle Public Library.

Exclusive The Seattle Public Library is now allowing the controversial People’s Harm Reduction Alliance to hold classes on how to properly use drug paraphernalia. The Capitol Hill library branch is also giving away free Narcan at the front desk in the form of needle kits with ZERO training and easy access to minors. Tuesday afternoon, the taxpayer funded PHRA staff got triggered and canceled an information session after they saw me recording. What are they trying to hide? Future Planned Events There are more PHRA trainings planned at the Seattle Public Library. Who’s overseeing this taxpayer funded program? Tax Levy The Seattle Public Library is also begging voters to help pass a $480 million dollar tax levy. Seattle Mayor Katie Read More ›

“I Chose to be a Meth Head” Kevin Kalb is an independent filmmaker known for his “Dregs of the City” YouTube documentaries. He’s in Seattle collaborating with Discovery Institute Media to spotlight the region’s homeless drug crisis. He managed to get an interview with Mayor Katie Wilson and questioned her about the “service resistant” addicts who are causing the most problems on the streets. Wilson gave him spin about city “models” that get the “vast majority” of people off the streets. Not true at all. In fact it’s the opposite. Even the drug addicts laid out reasons why they don’t want city shelters like tiny houses. One woman summed it up best: “I don’t want to lay in my bed Read More ›
