Bellevue cops are looking into another horrific incident related to the Plymouth Housing/PorchLight campus in the Eastgate neighborhood. A Seattle homeless man claims he was drugged and brutally raped by another transient outside the PorchLight facility. WARNING, this portion of the 911 call is graphic and may be upsetting.
Incident happened on Friday September 26. Both men were denied entry to Porchlight. Unclear why. But they decided to camp in the nearby bushes. The shelter continues to attract criminals and deviants into the area. This is exactly what the community has been saying all along. Still no arrest.
PorchLight leaders recently acknowledged the problems and admitted they needed to do better. But the plan introduced at a recent Bellevue council meeting lacked any real teeth or accountability.
