@WADeptHealth

#EXCLUSIVE: After he tried to dodge me TODAY, I confronted Dr. Dat Nguyen, owner of building that could be home to controversial #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC. Biz owners in area including his tenant are asking Nguyen to reconsider deal w/Acadia Healthcare. @WADeptHealth @GovInslee🧵👇🏽

@WADeptHealth

MASSIVE PROTEST: After multiple pleas with @WADeptHealth, Acadia Healthcare, and even City of #Lynnwood, coalition of neighbors and community stakeholders are protesting on Saturday. This will be one of many according to organizers. They are promising a PR nightmare. @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

LATEST FROM DOH: @WADeptHealth sent out response to community concerns over proposed #Lynnwood OPIOID CLINIC that would be few hundred feet from Alderwood Boys & Girls Club. DOH being put on BLAST by neighbors. @LynnwoodTimes about to drop more details!

@KCGOP

MAJOR SUPPORT: Protest organizers say @KCGOP, #Lynnwood Council Members, and other allies are mobilizing against OPIOID CLINIC. But even @WADeptHealth, Acadia Healthcare, and those advocating for clinic like @laurendavisWA have been invited to rally. Unclear if they will show.

@WADeptHealth

IN YOUR FACE: Tense moments during Monday's #Lynnwood council meeting. Residents confronting Acadia Healthcare rep telling him not to open controversial OPIOID CLINIC. @WADeptHealth+state leaders also being called out. Wild! @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth @GovInslee PUT ON BLAST: On Monday, #Lynnwood Council Member George Hurst personally calling out @WADeptHealth, accusing agency of bungling communication over OPIOID CLINIC saying,"It was a deliberate attempt to tamp down public comments." @GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

MASSIVE FIGHT: #Lynnwood council gave Acadia Healthcare+@WADeptHealth an out. Don't open OPIOID CLINIC. Otherwise, residents plan on launching FEROCIOUS FIGHT and it will become a PR disaster and mess for state officials.@GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

DID HIS HOMEWORK: #Lynnwood neighbor Yucong He laid out case against Acadia Healthcare w/company's history of fines and settlements. This is citizen journalism in action. Neighbors now asking @WADeptHealth to carefully scrutinize this corporation.

@GovInslee

MAJORITY OF COUNCIL AGAINST OPIOID CLINIC: Council Member Patrick Decker making argument earlier this month against Acadia Healthcare and CLINIC near Boys & Girls Club. Opponents frame company as greedy corporation. @GovInslee @WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth

WHAT IS ACADIA HEALTHCARE? Nation's largest operator of "behavioral health" centers. If allowed to come in by @WADeptHealth, officials say it would be #Lynnwood's only clinic providing METHADONE. City treatment centers DO NOT provide this drug.@GovInslee

@WADeptHealth

FRAUD SETTLEMENT: Like other massive corporations, Acadia Healthcare has run into issues in past. Company paid 17 million bucks to West Virginia, largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of state.
@WADeptHealth @lynnwood @GovInslee #Lynnwood

@GovInslee

WHY CLINIC IS NEEDED: Here's case for clinic at proposed site.
@GovInslee @WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth

#LYNNWOOD COUNCIL CONSENSUS: Council agrees treatment is vital for addicts. But debate is over LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. City council is 100% against this clinic coming into office building at 2322 196TH ST SW. @WADeptHealth

@WADeptHealth

CONFUSION AND FINGER POINTING: @WADeptHealth held public input meeting during holidays when people were out. Once #Lynnwood's Alderwood community found out, fight was on. It's now on DOH. Opioid center is scheduled to open end of Jan. Will it be delayed?

@WADeptHealth

TIMELINE: All permitting is on @WADeptHealth. That's just way law is written in Washington state.
@lynnwood council is powerless to stop opioid clinic, but seeking options. Regardless, residents say they're launching MASSIVE FIGHT. @govinslee #Lynnwood
lynnwoodtimes.com/2023/01/05/aca…

@WADeptHealth

OVERWHELMING RESULTS: @WADeptHealth deciding on future of OPIOID clinic scheduled to open next to Alderwood Boys and Girls Club later this month. While #Lynnwood council’s power to stop it is limited, community is planning MULTIPLE PROTESTS.
@GovInslee

https://twitter.com/LynnwoodTimes/status/1612223201123381249

@WADeptHealth

BOMBSHELL: #Lynnwood issues Certificate of Occupancy for opioid treatment center. City staff being accused of bungling communication and failing to disclose this vital piece of information. Unclear how this impacts @WADeptHealth decision to permit or not.

NEW: Bellevue's Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus continues to be a cancer on the community.
On Sunday, a non-verbal Plymouth resident allegedly made terroristic threats.
He scribbled on the wall that he would shoot staff with a pistol and held a weapon in his hand.🧵👇

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1956430258120614276

Cops later determined the "weapon" was actually a lighter. They arrested him on the spot.
Witnesses say the man is Merrell James Gorham and is wheelchair bound. He is known for spitting and kicking people. He's also been trespassed at numerous area businesses. @PlymouthHousing

@PlymouthHousing This Bellevue homeless campus in the Eastgate neighborhood has turned into one of the most problematic hotspots in the city. It leads the entire city in 911 calls.
A homeless murder suspect with ties to Porchlight is still on the loose. @PorchLightCares

#BREAKING: Violent far-left activist Alex Randall has created a hit-list of what he calls “RIGHTWING GRIFTERS, Doxxers, and Harassers,” operating in Seattle. He posted it on his @Youtube page on Saturday but then took it down for some reason. Our spies did manage to get a copy and screen shot of the post.
Either way, the Nordstrom(@Nordstrom) employee went on unhinged rants about conservatives and encouraged his followers to target certain independent journalists.
🧵👇🏽

Making the list:

-Jonathan Choe(@choeshow)
-Matthew Adams(@jerkinyourchain)
-Cam Higby(@camhigby)
-Katie Daviscourt(@KatieDaviscourt)
-Brandi Kruse(@BrandiKruse)
-Chelly Bouferrache(@hunnybadgermom)
-Jessica McClure
-Mark Willams
-Stealth Productions
-Bennett Haselton

https://twitter.com/camhigby/status/1966692549009305727

@jerkinyourchain @camhigby @KatieDaviscourt @BrandiKruse @hunnybadgermom Randall’s playbook is simple. He targets people he doesn’t like and just yells at them, hoping they cower in fear. He records his encounters and then posts them on @YouTube with unhinged hot takes. Rinse and repeat.

#BREAKING: President Trump will sign an executive order that will start to defund and dismantle the failed Housing First policy that has led to record homelessness in America, especially in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, and LA.
I’m proud to say our research and journalism at Discovery Insitutute(@DiscoveryCWP) played a crucial role in this major development. 🧵👇🏽

Sources in the White House also tell me the executive order will strip federal funding for “harm reduction” initiatives that have enabled record drug overdose deaths. This is a worst case scenario for needle exchanges and the “homeless industrial complex.”

https://twitter.com/choeshow/status/1760694309492260976

No more federal funding for “permanent supportive housing.”
Instead, all that money will now be put toward short term shelters, addiction treatment, and detox.
This executive order undercuts the entire business models for places like DESC and Plymouth Housing.

NEW: WA Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal(@RepJayapal) just introduced a bill that allows homeless people to camp on federal land if they have no other options. This was simply political theater and won't go anywhere. Here's the real problem for Jayapal. 🧵👇

Despite billions of dollars spent over the years, Washington state has the third largest homeless population in America with more than 31K people living on the streets. That's likely an undercount. This is all happening under Jayapal's watch.

Part of the problem is her far-left progressive ideology. Here's what she recently told the Seattle Times: “Because I don’t think that homelessness is a failure of the individual,” she said. “I think it’s a failure of the system. I think it’s a failure of our policymaking.”

NEW: Saturday evening, independent journalist
@camhigby got ambushed and sucker-punched by an Antifa thug. So far no arrests.
Higby says he suffered a concussion. But it could have been far worse if he wasn't wearing a helmet and carrying pepper spray. 🧵👇

Higby says Antifa acolyte Tyler Hahn is the one who outed him in the crowd and physically pinned him to the ground. But Higby says another man is the one who threw the punches.

Higby says this man right here is the primary attacker and threw the punches. Let’s make him famous. @SeattlePD

#BREAKING: Seattle restauranteur David Meinert says the massive Microsoft Build (@Microsoft) developer conference won't be returning to Seattle next year after attendees complained about urban decay, open-air drug use, and numerous tents lining the streets.
🧵👇

Meinert is also torching Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) for allowing these conditions to prosper in the downtown core and claims the Downtown Activation plan is bloated with bureaucracy and is lacking leadership.
