NEW: Some good news coming out of the crime, chaos, and death ravaging Seattle.
Over the weekend, the family of Marissa Flores watched my coverage of We Heart Seattle doing outreach at a drug encampment in the city.
After contacting me for a location, Flores' family immediately jumped in the car, started a search, and miraculously found her in a tent.
She's now in detox and back home with her kids.
The politicians, academics, and activists keep saying this is primarily being fueled by an affordable housing crisis.
Flores' family says don't listen to them.
They say it's time to focus on drug treatment and recovery first if we are going to save lives in this city.
