We Heart Seattle

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.

The Mayhem of Open-Air Drug Use Chasing the truth can be risky. A drug addict assaulted me while I was recording outside a so-called safe consumption site in Vancouver, B.C. Thankfully the cops swooped in and neutralized the threat. We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez and I made it out unscathed. Afterwards, an officer admitted these facilities continue to attract crime, chaos, and death to this community. Other cities in North America have been put on notice.

“I Thought I Saw the Worst in Seattle” Vancouver B.C. has the most horrific drug scene I have ever witnessed in North America. Discovery Institute and We Heart Seattle teamed up to learn more about what’s fueling this hell on earth. So-called “safe consumption sites” and non-profits giving away drug supplies like candy have trapped addicts in a vicious cycle. We did not see a single agency intentionally offering detox or treatment to anyone on the streets. This is failed public policy in action. Who Is Listening? My colleague Chris Rufo sounded the alarm back in 2020. The policy makers failed to heed his warning. The Harm in Vancouver’s “Harm Reduction” approach to drug use (city-journal.org)

“Camping Is Prohibited” Right near the Interbay encampment fire, We Heart Seattle just discovered more tents in the NW Queen Anne Greenbelt. This area connects to the N. Kinnear Park hiking trail. Look at all the used drug needles scattered in the woods. This addiction crisis is out of control.

New Crews just put out a fire at a homeless encampment in Seattle’s Interbay neighborhood. This is near the on-ramp for the Magnolia Bridge. We Heart Seattle is trying to help with outreach. But instead of finding people, volunteers found rats everywhere. What a disaster.

Some precious greenbelts in Washington State remain compromised by homeless encampments and drug paraphernalia. We Heart Seattle’s Andrea Suarez and I stumbled upon a dumping ground packed with tents and trash next to Seattle’s Elliott Bay Marina. Where are the environmental activists?
