HAPPENING NOW: Christmas shopping is underway in downtown Seattle. But if you are looking for a good deal on stolen items, head to Chinatown-ID.
Late Saturday evening, 12th Ave & Jackson St remains a total train wreck. Drug addicts are passed out in vestibules, the mentally ill are flailing in the streets, and cops are driving by without enforcing the law.
The vast majority of the people admit they are not homeless. They are here to score drugs.
Outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell has failed this Asian American community after pushing "Housing First" and "harm reduction" policies that are not working. He allowed this neighborhood to turn into a containment zone and human dumping ground.
Unless Mayor-elect Katie Wilson dramatically corrects course, the Trump administration should pull the FIFA World Cup from this city in 2026.
Bottom line, people running businesses or living in the CID are on their own.
