MASSIVE INFERNO: Feb 3 another camp on @wsdot property up in smoke in #Chinatown-ID. Notice a theme here? State ignores problems in this minority community. @CMTammyMorales MIA. Where is the equity lens for Asian Americans? #Seattle @GovInslee @KC_RHA
TONE DEAF: Parents RAGED on @KC_RHA CEO Marc Dones earlier in week about lingering homeless encampments. Dones went on to say WA state law makers put in a funding requirement that says homeless can only be moved if there is a "permanent housing solution."
MINI CAMPS: Tents+ structures remain in #Chinatown-ID on @wsdot property. Some have been here for more than year. Others popped up after massive 10th & Dearborn sweep few months ago.
@KC_RHA @GovInslee @WAStateCommerce @CMTammyMorales #Seattle
NOV 2022: @wsdot Secretary of Transportation Roger Millar said, "When we see something starting, we get in and stop it." 3 months later, structure he was referring to in #Chinatown-ID is still there. BTW, watch @GovInslee throw Roger under the bus. 🙃

UPDATE: Judge keeping Marcelles Orr in King County Juvenile Detention until treatment bed opens. Meanwhile, Dow Constantine(@kcexec)+WOKE MOB want to close youth jail by 2025, but Orr's advocates asking, "What's the alternative for out of control drug addicted teens on streets?"
FIGHT AHEAD: Sadly the next generation of teens have easy access to hard drugs in WA and that addiction will lead to more crime and harm. Dow and the far-left activists have clearly not considered all the voices and experiences of these families.

WSDOT FINALLY TAKING ACTION? Parents at John Stanford Elementary near notorious Ship Canal encampment say they remain skeptical about @wsdot letter sent out this evening to appease community. They want to see immediate results, instead of more empty promises.@KC_RHA #Seattle🧵👇🏽 ImageImage
ACTION STEPS: Looks like there will be more patrols in area. #Seattle Image
TONE DEAF: OMG, I personally know of folks here who are squatters, admit to stealing from neighborhood, and do drug deals in tents. This isn’t an “imminent threat” to neighborhood? This place is a revolving door of insanity. #Seattle @KC_RHA @wsdot Image

#EXCLUSIVE: Grandma of fentanyl addicted AXE wielding teen says she will be begging King County judge on Monday to hold him in juvenile detention until he gets FORCED treatment. No assurances judge listens to her pleas. #Seattle @MayorofSeattle
@wrong_speak @TuckerCarlson 🧵👇🏽
THANKING SPD: Ms. Daniels says @SeattlePD may have saved her grandson's life. I watched entire arrest go down. Two responding officers called for back up because Marcelles Orr would not go w/them peacefully. They handled him w/ extreme care. #Seattle

#BREAKING: @SeattlePD arrested 15 year old Marcelles Orr Saturday at notorious homeless camp near #Seattle City Hall. Orr charged at me w/an AXE last month. Also wanted on a WARRANT. Grandma says system failed her grandson. Working on EXCLUSIVE follow up w/family. @MayorofSeattle
ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY: Orr's grandmother says she begged a King County judge to keep him locked up in juvenile detention so he could get drug and mental health treatment. But the judge released him with a probation officer. The next day he ran away from home.
RECURRING NIGHTMARE: Crews cleared tents on 3rd Ave. near City Hall at least 20 times since last year. But encampment is back again. Why does this place get priority for sweeps while other #Seattle neighborhoods wait for months?

MY SOURCES WERE RIGHT: @SeattlePD confirming #Chinatown-ID fire Thur was meth related as I reported. Neighbors are so sick of @wsdot and @kc_rha’s empty promises. What else will it take for the state to finally clear this public safety disaster? @GovInslee @MayorofSeattle
@SeattlePD @wsdot @KC_RHA @GovInslee @MayorofSeattle ENCAMPMENT EXPLOSION: Another #Chinatown-ID fire on @WSDOT property. My sources say meth was being cooked in tent. Where is Marc Dones and @KC_RHA outreach? Why is this being allowed? @MayorofSeattle @GovInslee
BEFORE IT GOT TORCHED: Structure w/blue tarp belongs to a notorious drug dealer. While #Seattle continues encampment sweeps multiple times each week, @WSDOT and @KC_RHA not moving at same pace, especially in #Chinatown-ID.

#EXCLUSIVE: Nearly 40 homeless kicked out of #Seattle's Hotel Nexus for alleged violations such as drug use in rooms+assault on staff. They've now been moved to Renton+Federal Way motels. But there's concern it could happen again. Can it get any worse for @KC_RHA+Marc Dones?
BROKEN SYSTEM: Found "Tarantula" in an interview with KIRO 7 back in 2019! He's been running the streets for years. Who's keeping track of cases like this? Thank you to District 4 Neighbors #Seattle FB page for pointing this out. @MayorofSeattle @KC_RHA @kcexec @GovInslee 👇🏽
WHERE IS ACCOUNTABILITY? Glad to know homeless who did nothing wrong are getting in new hotels. But what is @KC_RHA and groups like Lived Experience Coalition doing about the trouble makers who drag everyone else down? Give them more hotel vouchers? How many more times? #Seattle Image
