homeless encampment

Dow Constantine Responds I confronted King County Executive Dow Constantine about the drug encampment he set up in Burien that’s now a revolving door for criminals. But Dow is denying he’s responsible for creating this blight on the city. Do you believe him? Burien No Longer Works with REACH Dow also made some erroneous statements. He thinks REACH is still the homeless outreach provider for Burien. I broke the story last March after the city announced its intent to cut ties. Dow didn’t know about this massive development? Rescued Last week, two kids were rescued from this dangerous encampment. But Dow claims he had no idea this incident happened and also says he was unaware of all the crime coming Read More ›

New Another troubling incident near Dow Constantine’s drug camp in Burien. Sunday evening, deputies responded to a robbery call at a gas station. A K9 led deputies up to the camp near SW 149th St & 6th Ave SW but could not find the suspect. Criminals now know where to hide. Rescued Last week, two kids were just rescued from Dow Constantine’s drug den near the courthouse. Even though he literally created this problem, the King County Executive is ignoring pleas from city leaders and neighbors to shut it down.

Update The internet wins again! Several eagle-eyed followers identified the homeless woman who allegedly slashed the tire of an outreach worker in Burien. She’s in my video and multiple sources say the woman’s name is “Alisha.” She lives in Dow Constantine’s drug camp. Will Social Worker Press Charges? I have reported this to Burien Police. Multiple witnesses saw her slash the tire on this outreach worker’s BMW. Will he press charges? Unclear where “Alisha” is right now. The case remains under investigation. Social Media Follower Breaks It Down Incredible job by @Tam67771799 using my video to break it all down.

Another disastrous drug encampment is growing in Burien. Locals call this the “Hiline or Starbucks Camp.” More than 15 people are now living on an easement behind both businesses on SW 148th St. Two minors recently rescued from Dow Constantine’s encampment also spent time here.

Chaos Following Assault In King County, the lack of accountability is part of the culture and fueling problems on the streets. After I got pepper sprayed outside Dow Constantine’s drug camp on Wednesday, a Community Passageways worker saw the commotion and tried to victim blame me. He wouldn’t give me his name, but he essentially said I brought the attack on myself for trying to interview homeless people. Thankfully, a neighbor saw what was happening and backed me up. But then this social worker got out of his BMW, left it running in the middle of the street, and started running his mouth. During this encounter, witnesses says a young homeless woman from the camp rode over on her scooter, Read More ›

Harm Reduction at Burien Encampment Another wild encounter outside Dow Constantine’s drug encampment in Burien. A King County Public Health worker tried to block me from exposing their “harm reduction” operation. They were giving away needles and fentanyl kits like candy. Not a single person was offered treatment. The Cost of Harm Reduction Millions of taxpayer dollars wasted funding this vicious cycle. Here’s the latest from a public records request. King County spent $335,364 in 2023 just on “harm reduction” supplies. But the drug overdose deaths hit an all-time high that year. The current plan is not working. No Comment from Dow Constantine I reached out to Dow and asked if he wanted to comment on this disaster. Still no Read More ›

Some precious greenbelts in Washington State remain compromised by homeless encampments and drug paraphernalia. We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez and I stumbled upon a dumping ground packed with tents and trash next to Seattle’s Elliott Bay Marina. Where are the environmental activists?
