#BREAKING: The King County Regional Homelessness Authority(@KingCoRHA) now saying embattled CEO Marc Dones is resigning today. He's called an all hands on deck meeting at 1pm. Top officials in #Seattle and #KingCounty now being notified. Full statement below. Developing story.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
DONES QUITS: This is Marc Dones with his opening monologue at the KCRHA(@KingCoRHA) Implementation Board Meeting on May 10. There was no indication he would actually resign. He's been under tremendous pressure and scrutiny after a series of major missteps and performance failures… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
FLOOD GATES HAVE OPENED: Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, King County Executive Dow Constantine, KCRHA Governing Committee with this joint statement. #Seattle #KingCounty ImageImage
GROSS MISMANAGEMENT: It's been an awful year for CEO Marc Dones. Just a few days ago, I posted a list of recent failures under Dones' watch. And I asked if it could get any worse for Dones. I guess not since he quit.

-His most recent controversy involved multiple homeless… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
CRISIS MANAGEMENT WASN'T ENOUGH: Earlier this month, KCRHA dropped this promo video featuring embattled CEO Marc Dones who rarely takes questions from the media. It launched as his agency was being accused of incompetence and mismanagement. #Seattle
BACKING QUESTIONABLE PROVIDERS: KCRHA is still being scrutinized for it's relationship with The Lived Experience Coalition. Back in February, nearly 40 homeless men/women were kicked out of a hotel for alleged violations under the LEC's watch. #Seattle
STUNNING REBUKE: Again in Feb, lawmakers picking apart CEO Marc Dones and his "wrong" interpretation of @GovInslee's Right of Way Initiative. Dones' insistence on "permanent housing" delayed King County encampment sweeps. #Seattle
@kcexec
@MayorofSeattle
FINAL WORD: Gov. Inslee confirmed proviso language DOES NOT require offers of "permanent housing " to homeless on state right of ways. DIRECT rebuke of
@KingCoRHA CEO Marc Dones' interpretation. #Seattle
DON'T MESS WITH PARENTS: In March, parents at John Stanford Int. School and neighbors protested after @wsdot and KCRHA( @KingCoRHA) failed to remove the Ship Canal Bridge encampment, the scene of multiple shootings, fires, and deaths. #Seattle
ANYONE NEED A JOB? One of several being offered by KCRHA. Title: Deputy Chief Community Impact Officer Salary Range: $120,000-$140,000 Perks: UNLIMITED VACATION, 96 hours of paid sick and safe(no idea what the later means), etc. 💵📷

#EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Plymouth Housing(@PlymouthHousing) CEO Karen Lee is doing damage control after our series of reports highlighting all the crime, chaos, and death in her Bellevue, WA facility. I have obtained an email Lee recently sent to Bellevue councilmembers.
Based on her talking points and spin, she appears to think they're gullible and stupid. @bellevuewa @BvuePD 🧵👇Image
Image
PAGE 1

Lee claims some of the content about Plymouth contains misinformation or misleading characterizations. But she fails to call out specifics and also does not name the news organization or social media accounts. Image
PAGE 2

She then goes on to say the Plymouth model works and tries to prove her point by citing debunked studies from liberal academics. However, Lee once again fails to mention all the crime, chaos, and death associated with this model. King County's own data now shows there are now more people dying of drug overdoses behind closed doors in permanent supportive housing then on the streets.Image

NEW: Bellevue's Plymouth Housing/Porchlight campus continues to be a cancer on the community.
On Sunday, a non-verbal Plymouth resident allegedly made terroristic threats.
He scribbled on the wall that he would shoot staff with a pistol and held a weapon in his hand.🧵👇
Cops later determined the "weapon" was actually a lighter. They arrested him on the spot.
Witnesses say the man is Merrell James Gorham and is wheelchair bound. He is known for spitting and kicking people. He's also been trespassed at numerous area businesses. @PlymouthHousing Image
Image
@PlymouthHousing This Bellevue homeless campus in the Eastgate neighborhood has turned into one of the most problematic hotspots in the city. It leads the entire city in 911 calls.
A homeless murder suspect with ties to Porchlight is still on the loose. @PorchLightCares

#BREAKING: Violent far-left activist Alex Randall has created a hit-list of what he calls “RIGHTWING GRIFTERS, Doxxers, and Harassers,” operating in Seattle. He posted it on his @Youtube page on Saturday but then took it down for some reason. Our spies did manage to get a copy and screen shot of the post.
Either way, the Nordstrom(@Nordstrom) employee went on unhinged rants about conservatives and encouraged his followers to target certain independent journalists.
🧵👇🏽Image
Making the list:

-Jonathan Choe(@choeshow)
-Matthew Adams(@jerkinyourchain)
-Cam Higby(@camhigby)
-Katie Daviscourt(@KatieDaviscourt)
-Brandi Kruse(@BrandiKruse)
-Chelly Bouferrache(@hunnybadgermom)
-Jessica McClure
-Mark Willams
-Stealth Productions
-Bennett Haselton
@jerkinyourchain @camhigby @KatieDaviscourt @BrandiKruse @hunnybadgermom Randall’s playbook is simple. He targets people he doesn’t like and just yells at them, hoping they cower in fear. He records his encounters and then posts them on @YouTube with unhinged hot takes. Rinse and repeat.

#BREAKING: President Trump will sign an executive order that will start to defund and dismantle the failed Housing First policy that has led to record homelessness in America, especially in cities like Seattle, San Francisco, Portland, and LA.
I’m proud to say our research and journalism at Discovery Insitutute(@DiscoveryCWP) played a crucial role in this major development. 🧵👇🏽Image
Image
Sources in the White House also tell me the executive order will strip federal funding for “harm reduction” initiatives that have enabled record drug overdose deaths. This is a worst case scenario for needle exchanges and the “homeless industrial complex.” Image
No more federal funding for “permanent supportive housing.”
Instead, all that money will now be put toward short term shelters, addiction treatment, and detox.
This executive order undercuts the entire business models for places like DESC and Plymouth Housing.

NEW: WA Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal(@RepJayapal) just introduced a bill that allows homeless people to camp on federal land if they have no other options. This was simply political theater and won't go anywhere. Here's the real problem for Jayapal. 🧵👇
Despite billions of dollars spent over the years, Washington state has the third largest homeless population in America with more than 31K people living on the streets. That's likely an undercount. This is all happening under Jayapal's watch. Image
Part of the problem is her far-left progressive ideology. Here's what she recently told the Seattle Times: “Because I don’t think that homelessness is a failure of the individual,” she said. “I think it’s a failure of the system. I think it’s a failure of our policymaking.” Image

NEW: Saturday evening, independent journalist
@camhigby got ambushed and sucker-punched by an Antifa thug. So far no arrests.
Higby says he suffered a concussion. But it could have been far worse if he wasn't wearing a helmet and carrying pepper spray. 🧵👇
Higby says Antifa acolyte Tyler Hahn is the one who outed him in the crowd and physically pinned him to the ground. But Higby says another man is the one who threw the punches. Image
Image
Higby says this man right here is the primary attacker and threw the punches. Let’s make him famous. @SeattlePD Image
