We Heart Seattle @weheartseattle Sep 21

Assisted Nick Shirley @nickshirleyy into Seattle’s “jungle” with @WeHeartDirector and @choeshow.

An open drug scene takes over bike trails next to Rizal Park , kids’ playground, and off leash dog park. Fentanyl Foil, needles, tents in the brush. A body was found burned to death on that trail a few weeks ago.

Nick watched our team pull 10–20 bags of trash out of there as our direct action to reveal the failed policies. His words: “Without We Heart Seattle it would be even worse”.

This is not a housing shortage. This is addiction and government cruelty. If you can help, please do.

McStabby’s is coming to the CID.
Because nothing says “revitalize the neighborhood” like importing the 3rd & Pine special. 🍔🍟🔪

Timtoo took a real step today.
Longtime volunteer. Recently started picking up hours through our staffing partner, first paycheck in years. Our team had been coaching him that the next move had to be treatment if he wanted a shot at self-sufficiency.
He went to Lakeside-Milam today. Still staying at Camp United We Stand. Prayers for him.

Thank you @MayorofSeattle for choosing public safety. This sends a big message to criminals that strip our copper wire, siphon our gas, porch pirate, car prowl, steal cars, commit violent crimes, squat off the grid, garage prowl, shoot people, stab people, bite people, traffic kids, women, rob small businesses, commit hate crimes, race cars, kidnap kids and so on.

No Flock cameras in Seattle, ever. New protections against potential abuses drawn from an outside audit. A handful of cameras in new neighborhoods.

Here's what the RTCC looks like from the inside.

Part 2: Business owners in Little Saigon and at 12th/Jackson are pleading for federal law-enforcement support.

They say their own staff are quitting over safety concerns. Open drug dealing, theft, and disorder outside their doors make it hard to keep people working. Shops keep closing.
Local emphasis patrols and outreach have not changed the street reality. A profitable drug economy does not stop for trees, lights, or more toothless social services.

Businesses and workers
are asking the city to bring in federal help now. @MayorofSeattle @SeattlePD @SeattleCouncil

Little Saigon & 12th/Jackson update from Mayor Wilson & providers on the 90-Day Emphasis: @MayorofSeattle @seattlecaredept @WeAre_PDA @WeDeliverCare @SeattlePD

• No real improvement on the street • Open drug market still active • Activity just moves to nearby parks • Trees and lighting won’t stop a profitable drug economy • Businesses and residents remain disappointed

What’s needed: • Federal law enforcement support • Restore felony for possession • Treatment with accountability or real jail time • Stop enabling with pipes, foils, and enablement feedings • Enforce against fencing, dealing, prostitution, theft, and food stamp fraud with high touch parole officers not diversion
