1) KCRHA… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
DISTANCING THEMSELVES: @KingCoRHA clearly doesn't want want to have anything to do with this hot mess created by Colston. If she refuses to resign, is anyone going to step up and remove her? I'm still trying to figure out if this can even be done.

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
