Vicious Attack Two homeless men violently assaulted me Wednesday afternoon outside King County Executive Dow Constantine’s sanctioned homeless encampment in Burien. This blight is being blamed for sex trafficking, thefts, drug OD’s, and is home to an accused murder suspect. No One Would Snitch It’s unclear if my attackers live in the encampment or were just passing through. Cops took a police report from me and went to find these lunatics. But no one would snitch. If you have any information, please DM me or call Burien Police. Two Children Rescued The one silver lining: Kristine Moreland and her outreach group The More We Love just rescued two young children from this camp on Tuesday. Campers say numerous kids have Read More ›

3rd Ave & Pike St Thursday morning, City Attorney Ann Davison unveiled legislation to address the drug madness on some of Seattle’s most notorious streets. This is what 3rd Ave & Pike St looked like around 2 am. It’s really do-or-die time for this city.

Workers say this happens daily. Mall security eventually stopped him but did not call cops to arrest him. Now you know why everyday household items are locked up. All part of doing business in lawless King County. Tattoo On His Right Hand Mr. Sticky Fingers says he’s homeless and lives on the streets of Seattle. Mall workers say he’s been spotted in Bellevue before and likely uses public transportation to go back and forth. Aside from the braided hair, he’s missing a few teeth and has a tattoo Read More ›
