Anyone familiar with Seattle is aware that the Chinatown area on the southern end of downtown is an open-air drug market, where junkies and dealers clog the sidewalks, along with numerous homeless tents and other temporary structures. Thousands of low-income elderly live in the many local apartment buildings, and they have been complaining for years …
Over at the Daily Signal, author Jarrett Stepman thinks so. His article opines that Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim Socialist, has been chipping away at public order in New York City, the better to prepare it and its inhabitants for a new Socialist future (his phrase during his campaign being "The Warmth of Collectivism"). We …
It often seems that the citizens of Washington State can't seem to catch a break. The fight against the looming Income Tax continues, and the ordinary people can seem like they are sleeping through the whole thing. Let's Go Washington, the citizen group fighting the income tax, and struggling to pass all three of their …
First, in Weather: Today was a stormy day around here. Thunder, lightning, power outages, rain, the whole shebang. With emphasis on the BANG part. Thunderstorms knock out power around Western Washington. 8,000+ lightning strikes ignite wildfire concerns around Washington and Oregon. Ceiling Leak forces gate closure at SEA Airport amid thunderstorms, ground delay. https://twitter.com/tommylikecloud/status/2077819064202973193?s=20 Next, …

First from National News Site, Fox News: Seattle's World Cup makeover vanished fast once the tourists packed up and returned home. Local Press: https://twitter.com/komonews/status/2075996369093816464?s=20 Now, from some local citizen journalists: https://twitter.com/thehoffather/status/2075431111472419226?s=20 https://twitter.com/weheartseattle/status/2075384480064573502?s=20 https://twitter.com/BrandiKruse/status/2075683574549000366?s=20 The answer seems to be: Same old, same old.

Since avowed Socialist Katie Wilson, a 43-year-old woman who had never held a productive full-time job before, still receiving financial help from her Leftist parents in another state and married to a man who refuses to work or take care of their child; was elected Mayor of Seattle, all the news from the city has …
Given that Katie Wilson is still the mayor, it's hard to imagine that very much good has been happening in Seattle. There has been little to no progress on the homeless situation, as can be expected. In the run-up to the FIFA World Cup matches in June, the Seattle city government has actually been moving …
This is due to more than one factor. The most important factor is that the Left does not recognize the existence of Basic Human Nature, and the corollary that Human Nature Never Changes. The other major factor determining Leftist wrongness is that they operate almost solely on Emotion, and not Reason. Even well-credentialed Leftist economists …
Have Dementors taken over my state of Washington? It certainly is depressing, reading news stories of taxpayer money thrown away with both hands; big companies that have been here for decades announcing moves to other states; local restaurants, individual and chains, closing down for good; illegal aliens being treated better than taxpaying citizens; heavily-taxed roads …
