Protestors Criticize Seattle City Attorney for Not Enforcing Neighborhood-Supported Laws
Living Among Pimps and Gun Battles Over the weekend, frustrated neighbors living near pimps and gun battles along Seattle’s notorious Aurora Ave N. blasted Mayor Katie Wilson for failing on public safety. They’re also calling out City Attorney Erika Evans. She’s following through on a campaign promise not to enforce certain laws that are already on the books like the Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution (SOAP) zones. The ordinance, championed by former Seattle Councilmember Cathy Moore and former City Attorney Ann Davison, bans people from certain areas if they’ve been charged or convicted of prostitution-related crimes. Evans says she wants to offer better alternatives. But many neighbors aren’t buying it.
