She did it in front of her beloved Piroshky Piroshky Bakery(@PiroshkyBakery) at 3rd Ave & Pike St. in downtown #Seattle. On cue, fentanyl… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

HER TOP ISSUES FOR D7: Olga Sagan(@OlgaSaganWA) says she's still crafting her game plan. But it appears her priorities will include addressing homelessness, public safety, and advocating for mom and pop businesses trying to make it in #Seattle. Listen to what some of the smaller… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
MAKING CLEAR DISTINCTIONS: Instead of using broad brush strokes to paint the insanity in downtown #Seattle, Olga Sagan(@OlgaSaganWA) is suggesting clear distinctions must be made between someone who's on the streets because of a fentanyl addiction VS. someone who ready to take… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

POST MORTEM: Even before Marc Dones abruptly resigned on Tuesday as CEO of the King County Regional Homelessness Authority(@KingCoRHA), the agency was under heavy scrutiny for it's performance or lack thereof. Questions were being raised about spending and salaries, especially… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
@KingCoRHA REST OF THE LIST: Dones was stacking paper! These salaries put the pay in journalism to shame. No wonder so many reporters are exiting the business. Image
@KingCoRHA LOTS OF INTERESTING TITLES: I still do not know what all these jobs entail and how it's related to addressing the homeless crisis. Image

#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.

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.

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

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
