CHURCH BUST: They got him! @SnohomishPD

RAMPAGE: Police say Allen went on a tear and is also facing a hate crime charge for targeting the church. Motive still unclear. #Snohomish

HOUSING FIRST IS FAILING: Seattle Times reporting @KC_RHA outreach workers downtown say many tents there are not used by homeless people as shelter to live and sleep, but for the sale of illicit goods. I've been reporting on this with VIDEO EVIDENCE for seattletimes.com/seattle-news/h…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@KC_RHA WHACK A MOLE: I have never witnessed an encampment in #Seattle return this often. Tents along 3rd Ave near City Hall were removed dozens of times since last year, but already back. Who's providing brand new tents? @MayorofSeattle@KC_RHA … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
HOW MUCH LONGER? This same encampment went up in flames earlier this month. If a meth lab with weapons, drugs, and guns isn't enough, what will it take for elected officials to deal with these extremely dangerous encampments on @wsdot property? @KC_RHA
WHAT A FIND: @SeattlePD confirming #Chinatown-ID fire on Feb 9 was meth related. 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
POST GAME ANALYSIS: This morning on @foxandfriends, I joined a panel to discuss @MayorofSeattle's 2023 State of the City Address. Public safety, homelessness, and drug addiction crisis dominated convo. While Mayor is focused on city's future, others want solutions now. #Seattle
2023 STATE OF THE CITY: @MayorofSeattle
is #Seattle's biggest cheerleader and remains optimistic about recovery. He's especially "bullish" about future of downtown. But drug addiction and homeless crisis remain major issues threatening public safety.
TRYING TO BUY TIME: @MayorofSeattle taking political gamble by admitting he doesn't have "exact blueprint" in place to address concerns lingering in downtown. But some biz owners+neighbors victimized by crime are done waiting. #Seattle

TRYING TO BUY TIME: @MayorofSeattle taking political gamble here by admitting he doesn't have "exact blueprint" in place to address these concerns lingering in downtown. But some biz owners+neighbors victimized by crime associated w/addiction+homeless crisis are done waiting.
HOMELESS STRATEGY: @MayorofSeattle sending message that illegal camping will not be tolerated. But key piece not addressed is plan to deal with homeless who refuse shelter options+just move to other parts of #Seattle. BTW no mention of FAR-LEFT activists undercutting his plan.
#BREAKING: FAR-LEFT activists+ANTIFA showed up to Paramount Friday night to protest Jordan B. Peterson (@jordanbpeterson.)
Some maniac from crowd chased me for several blocks and assaulted me. He also targeted @KatieDaviscourt. Who is this LOSER? Thank you @SeattlePD. #Seattle
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
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
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
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.
