Breaking The foster grandmother of Tyshawn and Marcelles Orr says her boys are the ones seen in a disturbing video released this morning by @SEATTLESUBMISS. It shows Tyshawn (red hoody) chasing a homeless man with a knife. Marcelles (black hoody) is the one with a massive afro. What led up to all this is unclear. Not Our First Run-In with Marcelles Orr If the name Marcelles Orr sounds familiar, that’s because he’s the young man who chased me with an axe near Seattle City Hall a couple years ago. Two Years Ago Marcelles is now 17 years old and was just released from juvenile detention center Echo Glen last month. I featured his story several years ago.

Anyone Call the City? Last week, I spotted 1 tent back on 3rd Ave. in Pioneer Square. This area was cleared last month. City says if people email or use Find It Fix It to report, it will be addressed in 48hrs. It’s now been roughly 3 days and 2 more tents have appeared. Last Week Only this “double tent” was set up again on 3rd. Ave in Pioneer Square, in this same area that was recently cleared by city crews. Last Month More than a dozen tents were removed from 3rd Ave in Pioneer Square.
