@SeattlePD

HELP ME ID THIS TOOL: He tried to take my phone, hit my arm, but I managed to hold on. This is how the FAR-LEFT plays. Watch out for this guy at protests. @SeattlePD

@MayorofSeattle

CALLING ON MAYOR: Parents at John Stanford Int. School now begging @MayorofSeattle to take control from @wsdot and lead encampment removals on state right of ways. Significant development this week as officials feel pressure to act swiftly. @GovInslee @KC_RHA @kcexec #Seattle

@KC_RHA

FRUSTRATED: During Thursday's @KC_RHA Governing Committee meeting, parents railed on officials. But after public comment, Roosevelt McQuarter cautioned them from using "stigmatized language" about homeless. Some parents reached out to me saying he was "tone deaf." #Seattle

@MayorofSeattle

MAYOR'S RESPONSE: @MayorofSeattle heard parents. But did not directly respond to pleas to take control from @wsdot and @KC_RHA. Exact reason remains unclear. But city already funded KCRHA with millions of dollars to handle outreach. How long this continues remains to be seen.

#BREAKING: We knew it would eventually happen! @CMDanStrauss says Ballard Commons Park is re-opening weekend of March 11-12. But it is still unclear what the game plan is to prevent homeless from setting up again on this #Seattle Parks property. Good luck D6. @MayorofSeattle

NOT SO MEMORABLE MOMENTS: If you recall, the park's been closed since December 2021 after city allowed massive homeless encampment to take over for months. It was blamed for deaths, fires, shootings, uptick in thefts, and even Hep-A outbreak. #Seattle

FALL-WINTER 2021: Numerous fires raged out of control in Ballard Commons Park. Some were accidental, others were intentionally set. Too many to count. #Seattle

VICTIMIZED AGAIN: Authorities in #Snohomish looking for man seen here throwing brick at The Pursuit NW church. Lead pastor @russellbjohnson says it’s the same fella who spray painted and vandalized the church on New Year’s Eve. Motive remains unclear.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN? Images are blurry. But this is the brick throwing church vandal. #Snohomish

@GovInslee

FINAL WORD: Today @GovInslee confirmed proviso language DOES NOT require offers of "permanent housing " to homeless on state right of ways. DIRECT rebuke of @KC_RHA CEO Marc Dones' interpretation. But will this change pace of clearings?#Seattle @MayorofSeattle @kcexec @WSDOT

@KC_RHA

DONES RESPONDS: During @KC_RHA Governing Committee meeting today, Dones walked back his recent statements about encampment outreach and "permanent housing" as a requirement. He addressed the and NOW says congregate shelters are still an option. #Seattle

@WSDOT

CONTROVERSIAL STATEMENTS: Last week, Dones said the budget proviso was specific and required an offer of "permanent housing" before anyone could be moved off @WSDOT property. However, no one on Governing Committee publicly called him out for that today.

@KC_RHA

DONES FINALLY RESPONDS: It appears @KC_RHA CEO Marc Dones is trying to walk back his recent statements about encampment outreach and "permanent housing" as a requirement. He addressed the KCRHA Governing Committee today and NOW says congregate shelters are still an option.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@KC_RHA

CALLING ON #SEATTLE MAYOR: Several John Stanford Int. School parents shared more frustrations on @KC_RHA call today saying @wsdot response to Ship Canal encampment is failing. They're now begging @MayorofSeattle to step in and act. But Mayor DID NOT directly respond w/ YES OR NO.

@KC_RHA

ENCAMPMENT PRIORITIES: Dones+@KC_RHA say they are prioritizing 3 specific encampments in #Seattle right now w/ Ship Canal being one of them. But this is the first time I am hearing the other 2 are in #Chinatown-ID! But he would not say exactly which ones. @MayorofSeattle
