This video is real. I lived in Seattle for decades and left for exactly this reason. In the early 2000’s I served on the Great City Initiative. Seattle was the hottest city in the nation at that time, music, movies and magazine articles all praised Seattle. I joined this initiative because I wanted to keep Seattle great. I even sat next to one of the future mayors of Seattle (Mike McGinn) at every meeting. This was when the Dems were not completely insane and unqualified to run a city. I also attended every council meeting in my district. Back then Dems could be reasoned with. That changed when people who were professional activists and had never held a real job started getting elected.
Years passed and the homeless drug addicts completely took over the city due to insane support by leftist Dems – this included our excellent libraries paid for by our tax dollars. There were signs on the bathroom that bathing was not allowed, but you knew they were hanging out in there so I always waited until I got home to use the bathroom. I could never find a place to sit to look at a book or magazine as they would take all the chairs and really I realized I would not want to sit in a chair they had sat on as these homeless were filthy, they had pissed their pants, vomited on themselves, etc. I once watched a group of them sit around one of the tables trading goods that they had just stolen from stores and homes.
The final straw was one day I was in the library and one of these addicts was ranting and screaming. The librarians sat there doing NOTHING as they were all leftists. The addict was trying to push over a heavy bookself which could have injured multiple people so a very eldery man went up to the addict and told him to stop and of course the scum of the earth threatened him. I am sure the old gentleman had served in WWII.
That was IT. I called the police and told them to get to the library. I think they only escorted him outside, it did not look like they were arresting the dirtbag because the police had been given standing orders not to arrest them. Someone had tried to pass a law that the addicts were not allowed to harass people within x feet of an ATM machine but the city council would not pass that law as it would be harmful to the drug addicted bums. (that is the correct term, not ‘unhoused’)
This incident happened back in 2014. This was before the libraries were giving out narcon and needles. More than a decade ago Seattle was already well ruined. In Cal Anderson park the park restrooms did not have full doors, if you had to pee there was a single board across because the idea was that it would deter or show if someone was doing drugs. I am a taller woman and the one time I used the restroom because I was desperate I thought I am going to be seen peeing.
The park eventually was not used by the very people who paid property taxes to have city parks as they became too dangerous for all. Parents who lived in apartments and condos could not take their kids to the park as they were drug needles everywhere.
Seattle used to be the most beautiful city in the US truly – I have traveled the country extensively. When people where I live now tell me they want to visit Seattle I tell them that if they go there do not look down. When they wonder why, I tell them their is human poop on the sidewalks, there is drug paraphenlia, there is usually someone sprawled out overdosing etc. It’s a shame that in a city with such natural beauty (views of the water and mountains) that one can only see the filth now.
One of our local news stations (before the media became totally biased) made a special documentary called Seattle is Dying about what was happening. It is available to view online on YouTube etc. and I encourage everyone to watch it before the midterms. It was made in 2019, the year I left behind my home, my garden, my friends as I could not bear to witness the continued destruction.
