NATIONAL GUARD TIME? This is now the third weekend in a row I've been out to the downtown #Seattle core since Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) announced his Downtown Activation Plan and signed the Executive Order to address the fentanyl crisis.

HOT SPOTS:
3rd Ave & Pike… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
IS THIS THE MOST DANGEROUS CROSS STREET IN #SEATTLE? 3rd Ave & Cherry St in downtown is just one block from City Hall. More "trap tents" for drug use and dealing have been set up by the same folks. City sweeps, they keep coming back. No end in sight.

IT'S A FREE FOR ALL: Weekends are the worst in #Chinatown-ID. It's a marginalized neighborhood dealing with an out of control drug scene at 12th Ave & Jackson St that's come roaring back. But the black market of stolen goods is the real draw. #Seattle
DRAIN ON CITY: The drug addicts congregate around Westlake Park and steal power from the light posts. Watch how they by-pass the outlet covers. Might be time to get a new lock system. LOL. @SeattleParks @SeattleShines
@SeattleParks @SeattleShines OVERDOSE AFTER OVERDOSE: I always check on people if they are doing the "fentanyl fold" or just slumped over. This woman was totally knocked out in downtown #Seattle before first responders showed up.
@SeattleParks @SeattleShines TARGETED AGAIN: Dude came up from behind me and landed a sucker punch. Then he launched a bicycle in my direction. This is a new one. LOL. Some drug addicts and dealers do not want to be exposed. #Seattle

#BREAKING: Despite massive pushback, protests, and a letter writing campaign by WA parents, Governor Jay Inslee(@GovInslee)just signed the controversial Senate Bill 5599 introduced by State Sen. Marko Liias(@SenMarkoLiias.) Critics say this transgender law removes parents from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FIGHT CONTINUES: A group has already filed a referendum against SB 5599. They wanted the Gov.(@GovInslee) to delay the bill signing so he could consider more parent concerns. Ground game is now on to collect enough signatures to make it on the November ballot. They say power to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
@GovInslee I CONFRONTED MARKO: Last month in #Olympia, parents and critics packed the Capitol Grounds and railed on Sen. Liias(@SenMarkoLiias ) during a protest. Trans bill supporters held a counter rally on the other side. @GovInslee

THE IRONY OF THIS MOMENT: Governor Jay Inslee(@GovInslee) just signed this government sponsored bill to give dying newsrooms some tax relief. These politicians say they want "government accountability." But Inslee still won't allow me to attend his press conferences. Gov, all I… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
TAX BREAKS FOR DYING NEWSROOMS SB 5199: Will it actually work? I'm not holding my breath. There is a fundamental flaw with this current funding model. It's called the internet and social media. LOL.

WA MEDIA WAKING UP: It's evident, certain politicians hate transparency, accountability, and tough questions.

DO NOT LET THE STATE AGENCIES DETERMINE WHO'S A JOURNALIST. @GovInslee

CRAZY TOWN GETS CRAZIER: Another insane Monday afternoon in downtown #Seattle. I was doing my usual rounds, about to report some POSITIVE NEWS regarding the encampment sweep at 3rd Ave & Pike St this morning. Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) defending the corner from "trap… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
BAT MAN: Last month, 47 year old Jeffery McMillan charged at me w/a bat. Judge released him since SPD did not send evidence in on time to KC Prosecutors. Case now w/City Attorney Ann Davison's(@_Ann_Davison_) office. Meanwhile, he's still on street.

WHERE'S DEBORAH? I tag #Seattle Council Prez Deborah Juarez(@D5Juarez) on a lot of my tweets. But I just noticed her official Twitter(@Twitter) account no longer exists. When did this happen? Does she have a new one? I read her recent newsletter and no mention of this move… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
ON STANDBY: Will let you know if the #Seattle City Council media handlers get me an answer. @SeattleCouncil Image
FACEBOOK TOO: Her old FB campaign page is up, but her main page with all the updates she’s been giving to constituents is also missing. Where’s Deborah? #Seattle @SeattleCouncil ImageImage

IS HARM REDUCTION REALLY WORKING? On Monday, I asked Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) if giving away all these meth pipes and needles is really the best way to go about addressing the drug epidemic, especially since King County is still dealing with record drug overdose… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ARE SAFE CONSUMPTION SITES PART OF #SEATTLE'S FUTURE? Mayor Bruce Harrell(@MayorofSeattle) took more of a measured approach on this one. While there are no immediate plans to bring in safe consumption sites so addicts can use illicit drugs under medical supervision, the Mayor… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@MayorofSeattle FREE AND EASY ACCESS: Earlier this year, @weheartseattle ordered all these "harm reduction" supplies. Technically teens and kids in #Seattle can access all this stuff no questions asked.

FINALLY HAPPENING: On Wednesday, crews are moving in to sweep the problematic #SODO encampment right outside the Salvation Army and BMW dealership. It's been an unsanctioned camp for nearly two years and was supposed to be part of Dow Constantine's(@kcexec) failed HOMELESS… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@kcexec BACK IN MARCH: A massive inferno engulfed multiple tents inside the unsanctioned SODO homeless encampment near the Salvation Army shelter at 6th Ave & Airport Way S. What a drain on the good men and women of @SeattleFire.


@CMTammyMorales @KC_RHA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@kcexec @SeattleFire @CMTammyMorales @KC_RHA MULTIPLE DRUG OVERDOSES: Back in January, emergency crews saved a woman suspected of a fentanyl overdose in SODO at this same encampment.
@weheartseattle was on scene as well trying to help. Drug use here is rampant.
