Chinatown International District (CID)

Dying City Do not come to Seattle this Labor Day weekend. Unless you want to see mentally ill people running through the streets, homeless drug addicts destroying neighborhoods, and a black market of stolen goods being fueled by violent criminals. Sunday afternoon, I visited three hots spots in Chinatown-ID, SODO, and downtown. It’s worse than ever. Now you know why socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s approval ratings are hitting new lows. She has lost this city.

Is She Lying or Delusional? I can now confidently say socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is either a liar, delusional, or a little bit of both. Wilson went up on stage at Epic Life Church Wednesday evening and proclaimed the notorious 12th Ave & Jackson St drug den in Chinatown-ID is improving. That assessment is total B.S. Good thing I report on this intersection every week and keep video receipts. Wilson also touts the LEAD program for helping. But this diversion program is one of the main reasons why criminals remain on the streets. The reality is Wilson has allowed this Asian American neighborhood to devolve into a human dumping ground. Wilson admits the CID is even worse on weekends Read More ›

Zero Cops, Zero Coverage Saturday afternoon, I saw children walking through the Chinatown-ID drug den. Drug addicts and criminals have conquered the sidewalks at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St. Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is MIA. No cops. Zero coverage from local media. Where is the outrage?

Progressive Policies in Action It’s been more than two months since socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson promised to enforce the law and cleanup Chinatown-ID’s open air drug market. It’s now worse than ever and the mayor is running from all my questions. Saturday afternoon, I bumped into an old school street cat who goes by “Antoine.” Not sure if that’s even his real name. He has government subsidized housing but is deeply addicted to fentanyl. Last time I saw him he was walking near 12th Ave & Jackson St in Chinatown-ID. Today, I found him smoking drugs with his feet amputated. Instead of arresting this young man for public drug use and getting him into treatment, the city’s LEAD diversion Read More ›

Jonathan Choe recently teamed up with YouTuber and independent journalist Tyler Oliveira to report on the drug addiction crisis on Seattle’s streets. The pair visited Chinatown, Ballard, and Beacon Hill — neighborhoods that have all been afflicted by open-air drug addiction, chronic homelessness, and unfettered crime. Along the way, they spoke with local residents and business owners about how city leaders continue to ignore these deteriorating conditions.

Another One Busted Bellevue community watch volunteers busted another fella this week. Young man allegedly tried to getaway with expensive steaks. But he was caught red handed and just walked away. Many of these stolen items end up in Seattle’s black market in Chinatown-ID. Homeless drug addicts steal and sell this stuff for pennies on the dollar to fuel their fetty and meth habit.

This month on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” Vice President JD Vance discussed Israel, Jeffrey Epstein, and aliens, topics that have lit up public conversation. Largely overlooked, however, were his thought-provoking remarks about America’s homelessness crisis, which highlight the harmful results of present policies in some of our largest cities and the need to enact new policies that prioritize restoring lives. Vance recalled attending an office Christmas party near Skid Row, the notorious 50-block area in downtown Los Angeles overcome by homelessness, illicit drug use, and crime. He described armed security and “gigantic walls” protecting the party. He told Joe Rogan that it reminded him of visiting the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. “Crazy wealth and status and privilege on the Read More ›

Abandoned Meanwhile in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID, the streets are packed with drug addicts and the criminals are selling all kinds of stolen goods. With tons of police resources committed to find the Seattle Center shooter, this Asian American neighborhood will become even more lawless.

The final FIFA World Cup game hosted in Seattle ended in the disappointing loss of the United States to Belgium. But for Seattle, a city so overcome by drug addiction, mental illness, and street-level homelessness, the weeks-long event was a smashing success. Downtown sparkled as it welcomed visitors from around the world for the six games it hosted at Lumen Field, rebranded Seattle Stadium for the tournament. In addition to exciting games, soccer fans enjoyed a city with noticeably cleaner streets and few visible signs of homelessness, drug addiction, and mental illness that are familiar to residents. But this is not what long-term success looks like. Mayor Katie Wilson and her team did not clean up the city. They simply Read More ›

At War Chinatown-ID is going to war with socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson. CID leaders are now pumping out protest signs with a red X mark crossing out Wilson’s face. They say she’s dumped the city’s homeless drug addicts into their Asian American neighborhood to protect World Cup fans from secondhand fentanyl smoke and the human wreckage on the streets. I’ve got more from today’s demonstration coming up.
