Dying City Do not come to Seattle this Labor Day weekend. Unless you want to see mentally ill people running through the streets, homeless drug addicts destroying neighborhoods, and a black market of stolen goods being fueled by violent criminals. Sunday afternoon, I visited three hots spots in Chinatown-ID, SODO, and downtown. It’s worse than ever. Now you know why socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s approval ratings are hitting new lows. She has lost this city.

Freedom of the Press WA’s Capitol Correspondents Association capitulated and will no longer try to block me, Ari Hoffman, and Brandi Kruse from obtaining a press pass to cover the Legislature in Olympia. But through the discovery process, we learned some of the CCA gatekeepers had a personal vendetta against us. And those individuals work for the Seattle Times and WA State Standard. No one should be surprised. BTW, no one from legacy media showed up to cover Thursday’s press conference. More Details

What Happens Next? Pallet Shelter CEO Amy King says she is now exiting the homeless housing space. So what happens if these unique tiny houses start breaking down like an old dish washer? Will there be replacement parts? Who’s doing the repairs? Still tons of unanswered questions after King’s abrupt announcement that she’s shutting down Pallet. I spoke to King during the company’s grand opening in Seattle’s Inter Bay neighborhood in June. Aside from being a builder, she also led a successful workforce development program called Weld. So I asked King point blank why she would risk her reputation by aligning herself with some of the most notorious homeless housing providers in the region. She told me this time it Read More ›

Defunded Holy crap! Seattle’s homeless industrial complex is taking a massive hit. Pallet Shelter is going out of business. CEO Amy King announced that she is ejecting from this space saying “funding and political environments have shifted, and our customers have pivoted in how they approach this work.” In other words, low barrier “Housing First” projects that allow drug use are being defunded by the Trump administration. The homeless housing grift is starting to implode. This comes just a few months after socialist Mayor Katie Wilson went all in on these tiny house projects.

Is She Lying or Delusional? I can now confidently say socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is either a liar, delusional, or a little bit of both. Wilson went up on stage at Epic Life Church Wednesday evening and proclaimed the notorious 12th Ave & Jackson St drug den in Chinatown-ID is improving. That assessment is total B.S. Good thing I report on this intersection every week and keep video receipts. Wilson also touts the LEAD program for helping. But this diversion program is one of the main reasons why criminals remain on the streets. The reality is Wilson has allowed this Asian American neighborhood to devolve into a human dumping ground. Wilson admits the CID is even worse on weekends Read More ›

Expect Angry Neighbors The North Precinct Advisory Council will be hosting socialist Mayor Katie Wilson for a community forum at 7pm. Expect angry neighbors to blast Wilson for failing to get rid of homeless drug addicts, prostitutes, and gang bangers ravaging the community. Event at Epic Life Church Doors open at 6:30pm, Epic Life Church. 10510 Stone Ave N, Seattle, WA 98133 86-Year-Old Resident Speaks His Mind with Billboard Last month an angry neighbor posted a billboard along Aurora Ave N. to call out Seattle politicians for failing on public safety.

Zero Cops, Zero Coverage Saturday afternoon, I saw children walking through the Chinatown-ID drug den. Drug addicts and criminals have conquered the sidewalks at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St. Socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is MIA. No cops. Zero coverage from local media. Where is the outrage?

Progressive Policies in Action It’s been more than two months since socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson promised to enforce the law and cleanup Chinatown-ID’s open air drug market. It’s now worse than ever and the mayor is running from all my questions. Saturday afternoon, I bumped into an old school street cat who goes by “Antoine.” Not sure if that’s even his real name. He has government subsidized housing but is deeply addicted to fentanyl. Last time I saw him he was walking near 12th Ave & Jackson St in Chinatown-ID. Today, I found him smoking drugs with his feet amputated. Instead of arresting this young man for public drug use and getting him into treatment, the city’s LEAD diversion Read More ›

Jonathan Choe recently teamed up with YouTuber and independent journalist Tyler Oliveira to report on the drug addiction crisis on Seattle’s streets. The pair visited Chinatown, Ballard, and Beacon Hill — neighborhoods that have all been afflicted by open-air drug addiction, chronic homelessness, and unfettered crime. Along the way, they spoke with local residents and business owners about how city leaders continue to ignore these deteriorating conditions.

Mayor Wilson Plays Whack-A-Mole Mega drug encampment sweep is underway in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. More than 30 tents are being eviscerated in front of the Fred Meyer. Watch as this man simply drags all his belongings and sets up shop on the other side of the parking lot. The game of Whack-A-Mole continues under socialist Mayor Katie Wilson. YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira, We Heart Seattle, and I recently spotlighted this crime-ridden hell hole that’s been blamed for sex trafficking, violence, and fentanyl dealing on the regular.
