“Free-attle” Last year, Discovery Institute published a report showing most of the unsheltered homeless in Seattle are not from this city. Nothing has changed. Today in Ballard, I met so many new faces and transplants from out of state who are now living in tents and RV’s. Mayor-elect Katie Wilson has a “Free-atle” problem on her hands. Even outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell acknowledged this inconvenient truth. Enabling Destructive Lifestyles So many free supplies enabling people to live on the streets until they die. The bleeding heart libs need to stop this madness. Discovery Institute’s Strategic Plan for Seattle Here is a link to the entire Discovery Institute report.

Shooting Up Beneath the Space Needle Look at this debacle near the Seattle Space Needle, Gates Foundation, and The Museum of Pop Culture. One of the cities busiest tourist hot spots is under siege by tents and a rapidly growing drug encampment. Outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell’s legacy on this massive street crisis is utter failure. Will Mayor-elect Katie Wilson make the same mistake and allow the city to descend into more chaos? Harrell’s Office Unresponsive I reached out to Harrell’s top PR guy Jamie Housen about these pop-up drug encampments wrecking the city. Still no response. Housen’s Previous PR Efforts Housen is also the same guy who called a peaceful Christian concert earlier this year at Cal Anderson Park an Read More ›

Harm Reduction In Action Plymouth Housing continues to be a blight on the downtown Seattle community. Look at all the drug action in front of the Stewart Street location. This is “Housing First” and “Harm Reduction” in action. Staff give out free drug supplies and no one is required to go into detox or find jobs. So they hang out all day in their apartments and do fentanyl. In some cases, dealers actually live in the units. It’s one stop shopping and a death trap. If any of these so called “permanent supportive” apartments are pitched for your community, fight like heck to keep it out. Unless you like to live next to crime, chaos, and death everyday. 911 calls Read More ›

Politicians Look the Other Way Don’t let all the pretty Christmas lights fool you. The drug dens in downtown Seattle are roaring out of control. Look at this one in front of the Olympic Tower Apartments at the corner of 3rd Ave and Pine St. Everyone is doing fentanyl. I bumped into this young Korean American woman who’s been a regular out here for years. She’s probably in her early 30’s but now looks like she’s in her 50’s from all the drug use. This human catastrophe continues unchecked in this city and the politicians are all looking the other way. King County Public Health is also MIA. Anyone ever see Councilmember Bob Kettle walk this nightmare stretch in his Read More ›

Drug Addiction Overruns the City Streets Since the weekend, I have now counted more than 100 drug tents in Seattle’s Chinatown-ID and Beacon Hill neighborhoods which are next to each other. This is obviously an undercount since I can’t be everywhere. Drug addicts have also taken over Dr. Jose Rizal Park. Since outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell has given up on the city, I am keeping a running list of encampments for Mayor-elect Katie Wilson. But it’s unclear if she will do anything about it. Btw, stop enabling these addicts by giving them free tents. The non-profits and virtue signaling Seattle residents are keeping vulnerable people on the streets. Get them into shelters, drive them to treatment, or send them home. Read More ›

Drug Addiction Run Wild Some King County Metro bus drivers say they feel unsafe and would prefer to avoid the Little Saigon stop at 12th Ave & Jackson St in Chinatown-ID. Can you blame them? Many of the passengers boarding here are criminal drug addicts and use these buses to transport stolen merchandise. It’s the worst kept secret. It’s lawless in Seattle.

Buying Fentanyl is “Cheaper than Kool-Aid” The latest drug encampment in Seattle is exploding out of control in Chinatown-ID. The entire area above the former Viet Wah grocery store on Jackson St. has repopulated with more than 20 tents. When I visited Monday afternoon, addicts were doing fentanyl and passed out. Everyone rejected offers for treatment. One guy said buying fetty was “cheaper than Kool-Aid.” The Sweeps Have Stopped I reported on this disaster last August. The city came in and cleared it. But with Mayor Bruce Harrell leaving office at the end of the year, it appears sweeps have slowed down to a halt in some instances. Housing First Has Failed Once again, this is not an affordable housing Read More ›

Enabling Addiction While Seattle cops search for the hookah lounge murder suspect in Chinatown-ID, look what’s happening just a couple blocks away from the crime scene. Another 12th Ave & Jackson St. horror show. Aside from the open-air drug use and black market of stolen goods thriving next to a charter school, there’s a lady driving around giving away free government phones. In other words, the homeless industrial complex, harm reduction lobby, and other NGO’s provide all the crap you need to remain trapped in this cycle on the streets. The CID is truly the city’s human dumping ground. Join Us As you prepare for end of the year gifts, please consider joining our team and helping us expand our Read More ›

“We Call Every Week, But They Just Keep Ignoring” Christmas shopping is underway in downtown Seattle. But if you are looking for a good deal on stolen items, head to Chinatown-ID. Late Saturday evening, 12th Ave & Jackson St remains a total train wreck. Drug addicts are passed out in vestibules, the mentally ill are flailing in the streets, and cops are driving by without enforcing the law. The vast majority of the people admit they are not homeless. They are here to score drugs. Outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell has failed this Asian American community after pushing “Housing First” and “harm reduction” policies that are not working. He allowed this neighborhood to turn into a containment zone and human dumping Read More ›

Deadly Results of Sanctuary Cities King County Metro Bus Operator Sean Yim should be alive today. But sanctuary city policies protected the man suspected of his murder. Ari Hoffman and I have now learned that Richard Sitzlack is an illegal from Venezuela. This is a scandal. Homeless suspect in murder of Seattle bus driver revealed to be Venezuelan illegal immigrant Article originally published at The Post Millennial by Ari Hoffman and Jonathan Choe. The homeless man accused in the fatal stabbing of King County Metro bus driver Shawn Yim in Seattle has been identified by federal immigration authorities as an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. The revelation comes as the suspect, 53-year-old Richard Sitzlack, pleaded not guilty in January to all Read More ›
