Beacon Hill

Missing Person Seattle’s Lewis Park is a crime magnet and drug hell hole. Late Saturday evening, a dad reached out to me and said he was looking for his daughter named “Candace.” For privacy reasons, I am not putting out her photo. At least for now. But I was told she was last seen with drug addicts in this Beacon Hill park. So I decided to go in and look. The moment I walked in, a group of Honduran drug dealers offered me fentanyl. It was one of the riskier missions I’ve been on since it was pitch black. The area is very narrow and the escape routes are minimal in the event I am attacked. I couldn’t stay long Read More ›

Mega Sweep Thursday morning, Seattle city crews went on a MEGA SWEEP and cleared out multiple drug encampments at Daejeon Park, Sturgus Park, Lewis Park, and even removed tents at Dr. Jose Rizal Park. This is all happening in the Beacon Hill hood. With the impending sweep, I visited some of the homies last night to find out what they were up to. One guy said he already had a tiny house and was just chilling at the encampment. Another fella said he wouldn’t take a tiny house since illegal drug use is allegedly banned. But we all know that’s not the case.

Out of Control Seattle Councilmember Eddie Lin says he might call for the temporary closure of Lewis Park in the Beacon Hill neighborhood. He admits the illegal camping and open-air-drug use is out of control. I went there late Wednesday evening and saw it for myself. Lin overwhelmingly won the District 2 election. But he inherited a hot mess which also includes the crime and chaos of Rainier Valley along with the black market of stolen goods on 12th Ave & Jackson St in Chinatown-ID.

“There’s a Big Drug Dealer Down Here” After dozens of neighbor complaints about homeless drug addicts destroying Seattle’s Dr. Jose Rizal Park, the fencing is back up and major renovations are about to get started. But We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez says the dealers and addicts are now moving further into wooded areas in Beacon Hill and the city is barely enforcing public camping laws in this area. Suarez is also calling out Seattle Parks Superintendent AP Diaz for being MIA.

Drug Addiction Overruns the City Streets Since the weekend, I have now counted more than 100 drug tents in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID and Beacon Hill neighborhoods which are next to each other. This is obviously an undercount since I can’t be everywhere. Drug addicts have also taken over Dr. Jose Rizal Park. Since outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell has given up on the city, I am keeping a running list of encampments for Mayor-elect Katie Wilson. But it’s unclear if she will do anything about it. Btw, stop enabling these addicts by giving them free tents. The non-profits and virtue signaling Seattle residents are keeping vulnerable people on the streets. Get them into shelters, drive them to treatment, or send them home. Read More ›
