The base threat to Seattle is the fentanyl epidemic and the inability of our courts/prosecutors to move the needle on organized retail theft and black market sales along 3rd/Union.

Seattle City and King County don't play well together in terms of prosecution and it shows on our streets. Unfortunately most local ire seems directed at folks like the City Council who have little to no control over these issues.
Call me a moron if you want, but "Defund the Police" was bad. And moronic.

The label was bad, but the root objectives had merit…..to allocate resources to mental health services to prevent incidents involving the police and to get rid of the rotten apples in the police departments. For the extremists who presented it as actually abolishing policing….yes, that was moronic.
