Seattle seems to be doing its level best to make things miserable for everyone. These first few stories are all from the MyNorthwest.com site.
Former King County Sheriff says City has Failed Aurora, but Arresting Sex Workers is first step. Seattle decriminalized prostitution, leading to gun battles on public streets between rival pimps. Major thoroughfare in North Seattle is increasingly unsafe for all users, especially residents of the side streets.
Seattle Loses two top restaurants. Victims of the high minimum wage, downtown businesses leaving, and high crime by repeat offenders.
Jake: All Aboard Light Rail! Next stop…not Ballard! Sound Transit is billions of dollars over budget, and years behind schedule. Citizens from Tacoma to Marysville along the I-5 Corridor pay multiple taxes (property, sales, car registration) to build the system out, and Leftist grifters have become VERY wealthy. Riders, not so much.
Curley doesn’t buy Ferguson’s claim not to expand Millionaires Tax. Pie-crust promises, easily made, easily broken.
Harger: Mayor Katie Wilson’s governing Seattle feels like Body-Switching Comedy. Naive, leftist who never held a real job is showing her childishness.

LET ME MAKE SURE I GOT THIS STRAIGHT:
Seattle socialist Mayor Katie Wilson’s plan to combat gang wars & pimp violence near Aurora Ave is to install the barriers that were supposed to be installed years ago, but weren’t, because of people like CM Deborah Juarez, so the neighbors installed them, then the city freaked out about them, but then got backlash for freaking out, and is now installing them?
Wouldn’t it be easier to just enforce the law?
Here’s the KOMO story on the same issue. The headline states that Seattle removed the neighbors’ barricades.
Welcome to the beautiful Emerald City of Seattle.
