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.

On the Ground Discovery Institute Media is on the ground in Spokane, WA. Kevin Dahlgren is reporting from the frontlines of the devastating inferno that decimated hundreds of homes. An arson suspect is in custody. Follow us for the latest updates.

“This Fire Could Have Been Prevented” Sources say the inferno that torched the Centennial Mills building in Portland’s Pearl District over the weekend may have been caused by homeless squatters. Kevin Dahlgren and I have been reporting on the ground and talked to witnesses who watched in horror as the historic 116-year-old abandoned structure went up on flames.

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.

Sad Situation The Bellevue community watch volunteers are doing an invaluable service by hunting down crooks who ransack local grocery stores. On many occasions, the stolen goods end up being sold for pennies on the dollar in Seattle so drug addicts can buy their next fix. But sometimes the thieves are local grandmas, like this woman who allegedly loaded up her cart with all kinds of stolen items. The community watch volunteer was firm but gentle. In the end, she pretty much admitted to the crime and inquired about getting more government subsidies.

Citizens to the Rescue The legends are back. Bellevue community watch volunteers are fighting crime and stopping thieves at the QFC grocery store in Crossroads. Witnesses say two suspected drug addicts tried to take off with stolen items this week. But they were immediately chased down and forced to give up the goods. What’s even more pathetic, the dude tries to save himself and leaves his female accomplice behind. What a loser.

Living Rent Free I am sifting through dozens of 911 calls triggered by the chaotic Plymouth Housing/PorchLight facility in Bellevue. It sounds like police dispatchers thought I was trespassing on the property this week. Stop racially profiling me. Not all Asian guys look the same. It wasn’t me! Otherwise, neighbors and business owners say they are livid about this taxpayer funded homeless hell hole since staff turn a blind eye to fentanyl use in rooms. It also remains a favorite destination for convicted criminals. Both organizations have trespassed me after I exposed all the bad behavior spilling into the community. **I’ve attached my photo for future reference.** Trespassed at PorchLight Back in April, PorchLight staff trespassed me from their property.

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 ›

A Destructive Ecosystem The Downtown Emergency Service Center cancer is spreading across Seattle. This latest incident at DESC’s Hobson Place perfectly encompasses what’s wrong with Housing First policies and permanent supportive housing. There is an elderly woman who has to share a floor with fentanyl dealers and drug addicts. Why is this vulnerable woman living in a place like this? Was this the only option for her in the final years of her life? What responsibility does taxpayer funded DESC have in keeping senior citizens safe in their facilities? I could go on and on. Then right in front of Hobson Place, people are smoking fentanyl and partying on the sidewalk. Down the block, there is another massive tent encampment Read More ›

Mayhem Another drug encampment inferno engulfed multiple tents in Seattle’s Mount Baker neighborhood over the weekend. Angry neighbors warned socialist Mayor Katie Wilson this would happen. Instead, city workers dropped off concrete blocks to keep the addicts away. It clearly did not work. We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez has been doing outreach in this part of the city that’s now dealing with a massive inflow of vagrants.
