Prioritizing Drug Addiction Over Children What an absolute disgrace and public safety crisis unfolding outside Seattle’s Dr. Jose Rizal Park. I watched more than 20 Beacon Hill International Elementary School kids dodge fentanyl foil and homeless drug addicts as they walked home Monday afternoon. One parent says Seattle Public Schools refuses to provide school buses since they are dealing with a budget crisis. Meanwhile, less than a week after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson announced her new plan to address homelessness, her streets are covered with service resistant drug addicts because they are all refusing shelter and services.

Some Flee, Others Take Advantage An Asian grandma with a wad of $20’s just got a fantastic deal on stolen vitamins in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. It’s the worst kept secret, but Asian elders are helping fuel the black market of stolen goods and the drug crisis. Cops know it. Politicians know it. But no one wants to call this out because it could potentially be interpreted as “racist.” The Asian seniors are treated like royalty out here. Zero fear of whacked-out drug addicts or criminals. In fact, they get the red carpet treatment because they have the cash! And as Nick Shirley exposed last month, Asians are also running food stamp hustles. As more Asian mom & pop businesses flee the Read More ›

Blame Crime, Encampments, and City Government Two more small businesses have ejected from Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. Henry’s Taiwan and Seattle Herbs & Grocery officially closed this month after being long time staples at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St. The owners blame socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s inability to handle crime and homeless drug encampments in the area. Property values are also plummeting, threatening to further destroy the core identity of this Asian American community. I’m working on another update. Stay tuned.

The Collapse of the Asian-American Community It’s the worst kept secret in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. Asians are helping fuel the black market of stolen goods and they’re complicit in the destruction of their own community. While Nick Shirley was busting food stamp fraudsters down the street, I was documenting the ebb and flow of illegal commerce at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St. City leaders and cops know this is happening. They think cheap signs will deter this activity. But no one is being held accountable. Welcome to socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s lawless city.

Total Disaster It’s the city’s worst-kept secret. Seattle Public Libraries are being used as drug dens and hangouts for the homeless. Savanah Hernandez exposed some of the most problematic locations. Meanwhile, city leaders recently passed a $400 million property tax levy to fund this insanity.

Independent journalist Kevin Dahlgren reports from the aftermath of the Spokane fires. Three separate fires in the Spokane area burned over 15 square miles and forced tens of thousands to evacuate earlier this month. Police have one man in custody who admitted to starting one of the three fires.

Developing As I first reported last month, the notorious Lewis Park drug den in Seattle is finally being shut down. This morning, city crews and cops booted everyone off the premises. Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson has allowed this hell hole to fester for months. Honduran fentanyl dealers used the deep woods and cover of darkness to prey on addicts. Multiple women were sexually assaulted. Fires raged out of control. The question now, where is everyone headed? We Heart Seattle is on the ground doing outreach. This is a developing story.

On the Ground Discovery Institute Media is on the ground in Spokane, WA. Kevin Dahlgren is reporting from the frontlines of the devastating inferno that decimated hundreds of homes. An arson suspect is in custody. Follow us for the latest updates.

“This Fire Could Have Been Prevented” Sources say the inferno that torched the Centennial Mills building in Portland’s Pearl District over the weekend may have been caused by homeless squatters. Kevin Dahlgren and I have been reporting on the ground and talked to witnesses who watched in horror as the historic 116-year-old abandoned structure went up on flames.

Mayhem Another drug encampment inferno engulfed multiple tents in Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood over the weekend. Angry neighbors warned socialist Mayor Katie Wilson this would happen. Instead, city workers dropped off concrete blocks to keep the addicts away. It clearly did not work. We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez has been doing outreach in this part of the city that’s now dealing with a massive inflow of vagrants.
