Nothing to Hide I’m investigating several criminal incidents related to the notorious Plymouth Housing/PorchLight homeless drug campus in Bellevue. More serious problems are now spilling onto the nearby Polaris at Eastgate apartments. On Tuesday, I visited PorchLight to get a better sense of what’s going on. As you can see in this video, I thought the interaction was cordial. But as soon as I left, they called the police on me. Btw, Bellevue cops are watching everything on street cameras. I’ve got nothing to hide.

The Sweeps Continue Aggressive drug encampment sweeps in Seattle are happening on Easter weekend under Mayor Katie Wilson. On Saturday, city crews removed the so called “service resistant” from the corner of 3rd Ave and Blanchard St. But they all came roaring back after cops left the area. The game of Whack-A-Mole is out of control. This is near REACH HQ, the homeless outreach division of Evergreen Treatment Services. This non-profit has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funding from the city to address the street crisis. Yet they can’t even handle the problem right in front of their building. If one of the primary agencies tasked with getting men and women into housing can’t figure this out, how are Read More ›

Citizen Justice League It’s a privilege being part of the new Citizen Justice League, an elite group of independent journalists collaborating on some of the biggest stories across the nation. This week, I spoke to my friend and colleague James O’Keefe about our latest investigation into the cash for ballots fraud scheme which is still ongoing.

Media Industry Acknowledges What WA Lawmakers Deny So much going on here. First of all, congrats to all the 2025 Northwest Regional Emmy Award Nominees. For the third year in a row, my news industry peers have recognized the incredible journalism coming out of Discovery Institute Media in Seattle. This is also the first time Frontlines Turning Point USA has been nominated for a local Emmy award in this highly competitive market. Our joint collaboration was about WA Democrats denying press credentials to independent journalists covering the State Legislature. We thought the issue was settled last year. But during the most recent session, House Democrats blocked me again. Other highly influential media members like Brandi Kruse and Ari Hoffman were Read More ›

Kevin Dahlgren and Jonathan Choe recently appeared on Newsmax’s Finnerty, hosted by Rob Finnerty, to discuss their joint investigation with Frontlines TPUSA and other independent journalists into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Skid Row. Dahlgren and Choe explain how ballot initiative workers are paying the homeless to fraudulently sign petitions in Los Angeles’ notoriously drug-infested and crime-ridden Skid Row. Dahlgren called the scheme “irresponsible, exploitative, cruel, illegal.” Skid Row’s Cash-for-Ballots Scheme Watch the full investigative video here:

Discovery Institute has joined up with Frontlines Turning Point USA, O’Keefe Media Group, and other independent journalists in a multi-part investigation into a cash-for-ballots scheme in Los Angeles’ Skid Row. Jonathan Choe and Kevin Dahlgren help expose the exploitation of the homeless, the theft of the identities of innocent Americans, and the violation of state law in some of America’s most crime-ridden streets. Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles is one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America, a human dumping ground infested with crime, open-air drug use, and unimaginable suffering on virtually every block. “This is hell on Earth,” I commented at one point. This chaos is also what allows alleged fraudsters to blend in and prey on the Read More ›

Exposed We Heart Seattle just exposed fentanyl smoking shacks inside taxpayer funded Low Income Housing Institute’s tiny house villages. But I was chasing this tip as well. Recently, I point-blank asked LIHI Executive Director Sharon Lee about these controversial “safe consumption” sites on her properties. Instead of giving me a yes or no answer, listen to what she had to say.

Developing An elderly homeless man is dead after being hit by a car near the Fred Meyer in Bellevue. It happened late Thursday evening along 148th Ave NE in a busy shopping corridor. Unclear if the rain and slick conditions played a role in what appears to be an accident. The driver stopped and is at the scene talking to cops. This is a developing story.

They’re Back! The Bellevue community watch is back! Monday evening, these brave volunteers stopped two homeless drug addicts from ransacking the QFC grocery store in the Crossroads neighborhood. Witnesses say a WHITE male and female with a dog tried to take off with packs of ground beef. No cops showed. Stopping the Black Market of Stolen Goods The community watch fellas suspect this duo passed through the Plymouth Housing/PorchLight homeless campus and were headed to Seattle in order to sell the stolen goods in Chinatown-ID.

Another Day in Seattle Another drug encampment fire along Seattle’s Aurora Ave N. Neighbors reported several tents in this area before flames erupted Tuesday afternoon. Look at all the taxpayer dollars being wasted on this hot mess. Just another routine day in the city.
