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.

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.

Mayor Wilson Plays Whack-A-Mole Mega drug encampment sweep is underway in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. More than 30 tents are being eviscerated in front of the Fred Meyer. Watch as this man simply drags all his belongings and sets up shop on the other side of the parking lot. The game of Whack-A-Mole continues under socialist Mayor Katie Wilson. YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira, We Heart Seattle, and I recently spotlighted this crime-ridden hell hole that’s been blamed for sex trafficking, violence, and fentanyl dealing on the regular.

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.

Nick Allen, 58, died of fentanyl poisoning three months after moving into his taxpayer-subsidized apartment. Staff found him in his room three days later. Research Fellow Marsha Michaelis tells this sad tale to illustrate the fatal effects of treating addiction as a disability to be accommodated rather than an adverse condition to be treated.

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.

Kevin Dahlgren appeared on Newsmax on July 22, 2026, alongside Harrison Baum to discuss the suffering and exploitation of the homeless in Skid Row. Dahlgren described Skid Row as one of the worst and most corrupt places he has ever been. It’s “the embodiment of radicalized policies run amok,” he explained.
