Bob Ferguson Declined Invitation Earlier this year, I invited Bob Ferguson and Dave Reichert to tour Seattle’s drug dens and encampments. In my experience, the best leaders want to listen to the people on the frontlines in order to find the best solutions. Dave agreed but Bob declined.
Exclusive In February I exposed a nightmare of drugs, crime, chaos, and death inside some of Plymouth Housing’s taxpayer funded apartments for the homeless. But their leaders ignored all my questions about accountability. So I confronted them at their annual gala and they ran. Donors Behind Low Barrier Housing Why are Amazon, Microsoft, Starbucks, Delta Dental of Washington, Pagliacci Pizza, AvalonBay Communities, Goodman Real Estate, and Brettler Family Foundation funding meth pipes and drug supplies in Plymouth Housing facilities without any requirements to get addiction treatment? Problems Plague Plymouth I’ve also obtained hundreds of 911 call logs to the newest Plymouth Housing facility in Bellevue that opened at the end of last year. Same problems including deaths, drug overdoses, and Read More ›
Culture Change At this point, there is no doubt the vast majority of Democratic lawmakers in WA support failed “Housing First” policies instead of solutions that address the root causes of homelessness like drug addiction, mental illness, and broken relationships. That’s because they just vote along party lines or are heavily influenced by the homeless industrial complex. But courageous Democratic leaders like Burien Mayor Kevin Schilling are pushing back after realizing these very same progressive policies have destroyed his community. Schilling’s willingness to cross the aisle and find common sense solutions are some of the reasons why he is now winning. Refused to Capitulate Schilling refused to capitulate to King County and Dow. This was the turning point for Burien.
“Camp Constantine” Shutting Down More good news for Burien residents. The King County Regional Homelessness Authority says “Camp Constantine” is another step closer to shutting down. Still no exact date for an official closure but Dow said it would happen by mid-October. We shall see.
Breaking An absolutely devastating blow to King County Executive Dow Constantine and Sheriff Patti-Cole Tindall. A judge tossed their lawsuit against the city of Burien that questioned the constitutionality of the city’s public camping ordinance. Right after today’s decision, Mayor Kevin Schilling spoke to me about the implications. Burien’s Suit Against King County Remains Now that King County has been ordered to enforce the camping ban, it’s still unclear when officers will start sweeping encampments. Making matters worse for King County, Burien is still suing for breach of contract and that’s winding its way through the courts. STATEMENT FROM CITY: Legal Challenge to Ordinance 832 Dismissed – City of Burien (burienwa.gov) Constantine’s Policies Must Be Scrutinized After this massive loss, Read More ›
A Tour Through Downtown Spokane’s leaders are denying it’s out of control. Left-wing corporate media members in this city are too compromised or weak to show the truth. That’s why Pete Serrano and I visited some of the worst parts of downtown this past weekend to see for ourselves. This is not just an affordable housing crisis. This chaos is being fueled by drug addiction, mental illness, and broken relationships. The only ones benefitting are people working in the homeless industrial complex who want more taxpayer dollars to maintain their grift. The current plan is not working. Fentanyl Addiction Making matters worse, Tranq fentanyl is all over the streets of Spokane. Housing First Does Not Work Then you have out-of-touch Read More ›
“Housing First” remains a massive policy failure. Homeless in Spokane are being given free taxpayer subsidized housing, but zero requirements to go into addiction treatment or job training. So they end up back on the streets to get high because they have nothing better to do all day. Rinse and repeat. Listen to this guy describe the scene outside Catholic Charities buildings. Drug dealers are preying on addicts at all hours of the day. When will local politicians address this madness? Spokane is now officially the Seattle of Eastern Washington. Pete Serrano is on a listening tour so he can work with addicts to break this cycle.
Tranq fentanyl is all over the streets of Spokane, Washington. This is a horror show of human suffering and neglect. Attorney General candidate Pete Serrano and I went into the underbelly of downtown over the weekend and witnessed one of the worst drug scenes in the entire state. Local mainstream media is weak and will never show the human suffering and neglect because it’s not “brand safe.” They can’t sell diaper ads next to someone overdosing on fentanyl. In turn, none of the woke elected officials in this city are being held accountable for their failed public policies. They’re more concerned about prosecuting teens who allegedly scuffed up an LGBTQ Pride crosswalk earlier this year. What’s happening in Eastern Washington Read More ›
Victimized Again Graffiti taggers went wild on the old school Mobile Seattle police precinct. It was briefly parked on King St in Chinatown-ID. This city is losing the war on graffiti. Same Mobile Unit Targeted 2 Years Ago A couple years ago, the same mobile unit got hit up by EAGR near 3rd Ave & Pine St in downtown Seattle. Never leave this thing unmanned.
Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood remains a disaster. Drug use is rampant at all hours of the day and the addicts hate being filmed. One dude chased me today after waking up from his fentanyl induced stupor. I managed to escape on to a King County Metro bus. But the moment I entered, passengers were complaining about addicts smoking fetty on public transportation. Can’t make this stuff up. On Tuesday night, the Seattle City Council passed the “Stay Out of Drug Areas” ordinance also known as SODA zones. It would prevent people from re-entering parts of downtown Seattle including Little Saigon if they’ve been tied to drug crimes. Mayor needs to sign it ASAP so cops can start cracking down.
