HOMELESS ARSON SUSPECT CHARGED: King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office charged 31 year old Arthur Arakelov with 1st degree arson this afternoon. He's accused of torching nearly 60 boats on a dry storage rack in Lake Union earlier this week at 659 NE … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
STICKY FINGERS: Arekelov has multiple convictions for burglaries, drugs, and possession of theft tools. Several people I talked to on the ground say he is well known in the homeless community and was a regular at the nearby encampments in and around Lake Union. #Seattle
LAST KNOWN ADDRESS: Arekelov put down 8914 Aurora Ave N. for his residence. But that's the Aurora Commons homeless day shelter. #Seattle

auroracommons.org
ARSON NARRATIVE: While the aftermath of this arson is clear, the motive is not. Police say Arekelov was found hiding in a boat on the water, questioned, and arrested at the scene. #Seattle
AREA IS SURROUNDED: I know of at least six homeless encampments, including the Ship Canal Bridge, that is within five minutes walking distance of this Northlake area. It's also across the street from a University of Washington(@UW) facility. Everyone wants … twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
MORE CHARGES: This evening, King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office also says Arakelov was also charged today for burglary out of #Redmond. He's been prolific.

BREAKING: Criminal squatter Steve Hickey just filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, hoping to shield himself from paying back hundreds of thousands of dollars in back rent, and eviction from a Ravensdale property. His house of cards is finally starting to crumble.
🧵👇 Image
Image
In court documents, he only claims to have $50K or less in assets. Image
But in this recent video, Hickey boasts about making tons of cash as a social media influencer through social media revenue, sponsorships, and licensing deals with tv stations. By my estimate, Hickey likely clears more than $200K a year.

Thousands of illegals are being transported through Seattle's King County Airport. Many will be deported.
I started documenting. But far-left activists with La Resistencia tried to disrupt my coverage. Problem for them, they don't know the law.
The woman trying to disrupt my coverage is Maru Mora-Villalpando with La Resistencia. Her group sent out an error riddled press release about this incident with zero evidence to back up their claims. Why does the far-left activist class get so triggered by the truth?

Pt.1 Image
I was on assignment for Frontlines TPUSA. I showed them my press credentials. But they still blocked me until King County Sheriff's showed up and scolded the activists. They had to let me in since it's a public space. 🤣

HAPPENING NOW: Just got off the phone with Katrina Freitag, the Ravensdale homeowner who obliterated Steve Hickey in court and now has legal authority to boot this squatter from her property. She feels vindicated by this outcome but says Hickey is known as a conman for a reason.
She's afraid he might try to find a legal loophole and lie about his circumstances to delay, delay, delay.
For now, she is in the process of notifying King County Sheriff's Office and deputies could be physically removing him in the coming days. At this point, it is in Hickey's best interest to leave on his own.
🧵👇
PART 1:
Here is the summary judgement against Steve Hickey. He lied to all his supporters, his reputation is in ruins, and more importantly, the judge says the property belongs to Katrina Freitag. Image
PART 2:
Basically, Hickey was in a rent to own situation and put in hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money. But he defaulted on payments and lost out on his ability to buy the Ravensdale house outright from the former owner Lee Strom. Image

EXCLUSIVE: In February I exposed a nightmare of drugs, crime, chaos, and death inside some of Plymouth Housing's taxpayer funded apartments for the homeless. But their leaders ignored all my questions about accountability. So I confronted them at their annual gala and they ran.🧵
Why are @amazon, @Microsoft, @Starbucks, @DeltaDentalWA, @pagliaccipizza, @AvalonBay, @Goodman_RE, and Brettler Family Foundation funding meth pipes and drug supplies in Plymouth Housing facilities without any requirements to get addiction treatment? Image
I've also obtained hundreds of 911 call logs to the newest Plymouth Housing facility in Bellevue that opened at the end of last year. Same problems including deaths, drug overdoses, and crime. I was recently accosted by a resident.
I will be launching that story in the coming weeks.Image

BREAKING: An absolutely devastating blow to King County Executive Dow Constantine(@kcexec) and Sheriff Patti-Cole Tindall. A judge tossed their lawsuit against the city of Burien that questioned the constitutionality of the city's public camping ordinance. Right after today's decision, Mayor Kevin Schilling spoke to me about the implications. 🧵👇
Now that King County has been ordered to enforce the camping ban, it's still unclear when officers will start sweeping encampments. Making matters worse for King County, Burien is still suing for breach of contract and that's winding it's way through the courts.

STATEMENT FROM CITY:
burienwa.gov/news_events/ci…Image
After this massive loss, Constantine's leadership, reputation, and legacy on addressing the homeless crisis is cooked.
At this point, his "Housing First," "harm reduction," and no sweeps policies must be further questioned and scrutinized. His alignment with far-left ideology has decimated the community he is supposed to serve. @kcexecImage

BREAKING: Controversial homeless housing provider Plymouth Housing will now be running operations at the former Kirkland La Quinta Inn on 10530 Northup Way. Despite major opposition, the city council voted unanimously to allow it into the community. 🧵👇
Under King County's "Health Through Housing," neighbors expressed concerns about hardcore drug use and other problems spilling into the community. That's because Plymouth subscribes to the low barrier "housing first" model where addicts are not required to get treatment. Image
King County Councilmember Claudia Balducci is applauding this move in her district.
Today's press release did not indicate when the Kirkland location would open.
