CALLS FOR DIRECT ACTION: #Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera(@riveraforrenton) posted a series of videos on TikTok targeting Korean American owned Olympus Spa before this past weekend's protests in #Lynnwood. Thankfully it did not lead to any violence. But it cost the city of… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
NOW I KNOW: CM Rivera(@riveraforrenton) blocked me on TikTok. I didn't realize she recently referenced my reporting in one of her video rants. I guess she's a fan. LOL. BTW, Rivera is an elected official in #Renton, rapidly becoming a haven for progressives and FAR-LEFT… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
ACKNOWLEDGED: #Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera(@riveraforrenton) admits to blocking me on TikTok. But denies she was at the Olympus Spa rally standing w/her militant trans activists. If I didn't have so many deadlines, I would look into this. But I know others already are. LOL… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
UNMASKED? Questions now swirling, was #Renton Councilmember Carmen Rivera(@riveraforrenton) on the front lines of this trans militant rally in #Lynnwood, targeting the owner of a Korean Spa?
CITY LEADER CALLING FOR DIRECT ACTION: Councilmember Rivera's(@riveraforrenton) attempts to mobilize counter protesters just led to some aggressive behavior, yelling, and lots of name calling. But there was a financial cost to #Lynnwood.
@LynnwoodPD
WHAT'S REALLY HAPPENING: There is a crisis of conscience in the #LGBTQIA+ community as more and more people are starting to realize the targeting of minors by the militant/radical trans faction is real.

UNHINGED RANTS: Didn't realize CM Rivera(@riveraforrenton) is so active on social. She even referenced a tweet from discredited grocery bagger Alycia Ramirez(@AlyciaRamirez3.) I'm still waiting for the other basement bloggers to chime in. #Renton. LOL. ImageImageImageImage
@riveraforrenton @AlyciaRamirez3 WHAT IS A F.A.R.T.=Feminism Appropriating Reactionary Transphobes. CM Rivera(@riveraforrenton,) is that correct? More WOKE academics making up words and phrases, then imposing it on culture and compromised media. #Renton Image

Alleged con man Steve Hickey could be facing disciplinary action or even stripped of his role as King County Fire Commissioner. The District #47 board will meet Tuesday at 7pm in Ravensdale to decide his fate. Hickey has been under investigation and on leave after multiple first responders accused him of abusing his power on the job. Some say Hickey demonstrated bad judgement when he prioritized live streaming on his social media platforms over the safety of patients in need.Image

Tuesday's Board Meeting will be held at Station 88 in Ravensdale from 7pm-9pm. More details below. The public is welcome and the room is expected to be packed with Hickey's critics.

Squatters and deadbeat tenants beware! The public shaming rallies continue this Saturday at the Maple Valley Farmer's Market. Homeowner Katrina Freitag is leading the charge and will be joined by other mom & pop landlords struggling to remove these alleged con men and women.🧵👇 Image
Freitag is in a ferocious fight with Hickey who refuses to leave her house in nearby Ravensdale.
After our expose, Hickey's entire reputation as a King County Fire Commissioner and independent journalist is now on the line.
Standing by Freitag on Saturday will be Bellevue mom & pop landlord Jaskaran Singh, who made global headlines for his battle against Sang and Youjin Kim. They're now facing eviction for the fourth time after failing to pay rent on a $2M house in Bellevue.

Depending who you ask, King County Fire Commissioner Steve Hickey is a serial con artist or a faithful public servant moonlighting as an independent journalist. Either way, he's now facing numerous legal challenges and his entire reputation is on the line.
In part two of our series, YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira(@tyleraloevera) and I take a closer look at fresh allegations and Hickey's troubled past.
In part one, Oliveira and I confronted Hickey with squatting claims. He's refusing to leave a house belonging to another woman, claiming it should be his. Hickey has already been sanctioned in court for not providing all documents during discovery.
Hickey files are now open. More Seattle media digging. The current controversy revolves around his role as a King County Fire Commissioner. He's on leave from duties as the investigation into his alleged abuse of power continues.

BREAKING: Embattled King County Fire District 47 Commissioner Steve Hickey announced Friday evening that he's taking a leave of absence. Multiple sources tell me Hickey is accused of abusing his power on the job and using station equipment to grow his social media profile.
A first responder says after showing up to an emergency scene, Hickey "does a triage, requests a motor vehicle accident response, and then goes back to his car and live streams on TikTok before fire even arrives, leaving his patient with PD that he just triaged."Image
All of this comes to light after YouTube journalist Tyler Oliveira(@tyleraloevera) and I launched an investigation into Hickey's alleged "squatting" in a Ravensdale house. He's also accused of construction hustles claiming dozens of victims.

At this point, Bellevue serial squatters Sang and Youjin Kim are arguably the most hated couple in WA. They are facing a fourth eviction after failing to pay rent again in Jaskaran Singh's $2M house. Up to this point, they have not faced any vigilantes trying to drive them out.
But on Tuesday, that all changed. Authorities confirm the Kim's got "swatted." That's when someone calls 911 and reports a fake emergency. When law and order breaks down, this is what happens.
Kim's failed to pay again, even after being bailed out by King County Bar Association's Housing Justice Project.
Bellevue deadbeat tenant Sang Kim makes a cameo appearance in Tyler Oliveira's story. Bottom line, now the world gets to see the broken King County court system and the failed laws that have enabled groups like Housing Justice Project to thrive.

BREAKING: Deadbeat tenants Sang and Youjin Kim are now facing eviction for the fourth time after failing to pay rent on a $2M house in Bellevue. Landlord Jaskaran Singh knows the courts are still backed up but is patiently waiting it out.
He's now ramping up for more protests and is also running for WA State Senate to help fix this broken system.
Meanwhile, it's unclear if King County Bar Association's Housing Justice Project will represent the Kim's this time around. HJP has been getting hammered for using close to $90K in taxpayer dollars to bail out these Korean nationals.Image
Image
The Kim's have been served with a fourth unlawful detainer. At this point, most reasonable people know that these people are not low-income and have a long track record of running these hustles.

While Singh faces another long drawn out process, he is trying to make the best of this situation. He's now running for a State Senate seat, hoping to change the system that's hurting so many mom & pop landlords.
