Major Breakthrough Burien leaders say more homeless drug addicts are getting into detox, treatment, and housing. And the results are visible on the streets. At this week’s council meeting, city leaders credited “Co-Response,” a collaboration between first responders and Human Services. But most of the praise is going to Kristine Moreland and her outreach group The More We Love. Critics questioned the city after Moreland received a contract from Burien to do outreach work. Now it’s looking like a brilliant move. Her team’s rapid response and personal touch to helping the lost are game changers. And other King County cities are noticing the results. The More We Love Councilmember Stephanie Mora made the initial pitch to contract with Moreland’s group. Read More ›

“This Would Not Happen If This Were the Beautiful Waterfront” A brand new coalition is forming to defend Seattle’s Chinatown-ID. These community activists say politicians at the local and state level have failed them on public safety. They’re demanding more resources and attention to address crime, chaos, and death on the streets. Meanwhile, conditions in other parts of the city have improved. Which is why an elder went up to the podium today and torched Mayor Bruce Harrell by saying, “Mayor Harrell, he’s Asian American, does he give a sh*t? I don’t think so.” The Petition As I have reported now for the past year, Mayor Harrell is losing support in the CID because it has turned into a human Read More ›

New “Housing First” is an utter failure and must be scrapped. The latest data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development proves it. Even the drug addicts say this not an affordable housing issue. In fact some people are now afraid to go into low barrier “permanent support housing” situations because they know drug use and overdose deaths are rampant behind closed doors. They don’t want to die alone in these inhumane conditions. “Housing First” and “harm reduction” policies are fueling this crisis. When will King County and Seattle leaders start course correcting? Liberal Media is Turning This cartoon in the Seattle Times sums up “Housing First” and how it’s been fueling the crisis on the streets. Even Read More ›

Breaking Tuesday afternoon, Seattle Police arrested Steve Irwin again and led him out of Dr. Jose Rizal Park in handcuffs after he allegedly violated a court order banning him from public parks. Since 2023, this repeat offender has been arrested multiple times and charged for trespassing, stealing an excavator, and damaging park property. But King County activist judges keep lowering bail or releasing him with just a slap on the wrist. This is clearly the epitome of a broken system that is failing Irwin. April 2024 Arrest It’s hard to keep track of Irwin’s arrests in Dr. Jose Rizal Park. Here is one in April 2024. January 2024 Encounter Here is another encounter in January 2024. Cops responded to complaints Read More ›

Massive Turnout Massive turnout for King County Metro bus driver Shawn Yim who was stabbed to death by a knife wielding homeless maniac in Seattle.

Exclusive I’ve obtained video showing investigators making the gruesome discovery of human remains belonging to Shannan Marie Reeder last month. The 37-year-old’s body parts were found stuffed in a suitcase at homeless encampment in Seattle’s Dr. Jose Rizal Park. Some of the images have been blurred due to graphic content.

The More We Love While King County Executive Dow Constantine continues to fail Burien, The More We Love is on the ground right now, quietly placing homeless men and women into detox and housing. “Camp Constantine” remains a cesspool of crime, drugs, and chaos. Pray for these outreach workers. The More We Love Does the Heavy Lifting What’s even more perplexing, King County hired REACH to clear out Camp Constantine. But Burien city leaders say this homeless outreach provider contacts The More We Love to do the heavy lifting, and of course Kristine Moreland obliges since her group is just trying to save lives.
