Bruce Harrell

Seattle Times Finally Picks Up Story For months now I’ve been reporting on the movement of drug addicts from downtown Seattle to Chinatown-ID. The Seattle Times is finally jumping on this story. The squeeze is now on Mayor Bruce Harrell to do something about it. Councilmember Morales Quits Former Seattle Councilmember Tammy Morales left her district a mess. But she quit her post this month. So now sources say this Asian American community is getting ready to mobilize against Mayor Harrell if the crime and urban decay are not addressed.

As holiday shoppers pack downtown Seattle’s retail core, Little Saigon is dying. The only thing thriving here is the black market of stolen goods and the drug deals. Councilmember Tammy Morales virtue signals from the council dais and says she stands for BIPOC communities. But apparently Asian Americans are the wrong minority and are not deserving of her help. Morales’ CID district is on life support but she is nowhere to be found. I think it’s time for Mayor Bruce Harrell to finally follow through and clean up this neighborhood for good.

Saturday evening, Hing Hay Park looks like a human dumping ground. The crown jewel of Seattle’s Chinatown-ID has been hijacked by drug addicts, the mentally ill, and homeless. The dude tweaking earlier in the day is now causing a stir at night. Since Councilmember Tammy Morales has abdicated all responsibility in her district, it’s now on Mayor Bruce Harrell to restore this Asian American neighborhood before it’s completely lost.

Little Saigon in Chinatown-ID is absolutely broken. It remains Seattle’s worst drug scene. Making matters worse, all the insanity of 3rd Ave & Pike St. has been pushed into this Asian American neighborhood. Seattle Fire crews are constantly responding to fentanyl OD’s and mental health disasters continue to play out in the streets. Mayor Bruce Harrell’s Downtown Activation Plan is not working here. Councilmember Tammy Morales remains MIA. Mom & pop businesses continue to flee. Social media influencer Nick Shirley is in the city this weekend to document it all.

Drug Addicts Suspected Witnesses reported flames and smoke billowing out of a building Tuesday evening in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. In reality, biz owners say it was a dumpster fire which is so symbolic of what’s happening in this neighborhood. Of course drug addicts are suspected of causing this chaos. Meanwhile, Councilmember Tammy Morales has abandoned Asian Americans in her district. And at this point, constituents are also losing patience with Mayor Bruce Harrell. 12th Ave & Jackson St should be declared a war zone. Next to Asian Grocery Store Right next to an Asian grocery store. Typical.
