City crews started removing resident-installed barriers on several side streets off Aurora Avenue in Seattle on Friday morning, even after residents said they had successfully blocked gun violence and prostitution from spilling into their neighborhoods.

In an open act of displeasure; the Seattle City Council is now insisting Mayor Katie Wilson block off N. Seattle neighborhoods from Aurora Avenue "this week". They are even going as far as threatening legislation to allow Seattle Police to install barriers themselves...without the Mayor's approval. The City Council is now also working with King County Prosecutor to further crack down on the sex trafficking causing most of the problems. All of this comes after hundreds of residents marched on Aurora Saturday night, demanding change from a mayor that couldn't be bothered to show up for her city.

🚨 JUST IN: Furious blue city residents in Seattle are now building their OWN BARRICADES to BLOCK streets because shootings are so high Omg. This is MADNESS. The socialist mayor is IGNORING IT. "To block their streets and they're trying to stop the surge of shootings, alleged prostitution and other illegal activity in their community." "Locals say they've reached out to city leaders, including far left Democrat mayor Katie Wilson. But nothing has changed." "Residents along Aurora Avenue forced to set up barricades to stop prostitutes, pimps and a gang war from spilling into their neighborhood." "It's terrifying to live here, and it's even more terrifying that the city is absolutely doing nothing to protect the citizens in this neighborhood." BLUE CITIES ARE COOKED!

NEW: Lake City neighbors are blasting socialist Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson after her first State of the City address. They say she failed to offer solutions to combat the fentanyl epidemic destroying lives on the streets. People living on 33rd Ave NE say their hood is an absolute disaster zone and looks like a scene out of a zombie movie. Addicts are laid out on the road, kids play in a needle infested park, and drug encampments are spreading on to sidewalks. One brave resident shot this video today from his car to prove how bad it is right now. He's challenging Mayor Wilson to show up and see the drug fueled chaos and human suffering for herself. This community is demanding immediate solutions and is tired of the Housing First mantra that is clearly not working. Mayor Katie B.

HAPPENING NOW: Since the weekend, I have now counted more than 100 drug tents in Seattle's Chinatown-ID and Beacon Hill neighborhoods which are next to each other. This is obviously an undercount since I can't be everywhere. Drug addicts have also taken over Dr. Jose Rizal Park. Since outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell has given up on the city, I am keeping a running list of encampments for Mayor-elect Katie Wilson. But it's unclear if she will do anything about it. Btw, stop enabling these addicts by giving them free tents. The non-profits and virtue signaling Seattle residents are keeping vulnerable people on the streets. Get them into shelters, drive them to treatment, or send them home.

🔥🚨 DEVELOPING: Seattle's socialist mayor has been in office just eight months, and citizens are already trying to remove her. Melinda Jacobson and Dale Osterud filed a formal recall petition against Mayor Katie Wilson after three people were killed at the Bite of Seattle food festival on July 26, and Wilson responded by firing the police chief in the middle of a murder investigation. The petition also reveals that North Aurora residents begged Wilson's office for help from January through June as sex trafficking and gun battles sent bullets through their homes. She ignored them, then ordered the removal of barriers neighbors built to protect themselves. Wilson also deactivated federally funded security cameras across the city, including near schools, citing privacy concerns, while criminals operated freely. Is this what Democrats mean when they say they want to keep communities safe?

A few hundred residents marched up and down Aurora Ave North on Saturday evening, blocking traffic and demanding the city take action on sex trafficking and gun violence that has spilled into their neighborhoods. City Councilmember Bob Kettle, City Attorney Erika Adams, and members of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office all showed up and walked with residents 👀 The march came after weeks of consistent gunfire hitting homes and vehicles and with summer approaching, residents say it’s only going to get worse. “We’re really out here demanding action it’s as simple as that” Aaron, a nearby homeowner who says he’s had multiple shootings in his neighborhood this year. And the streets were still active while they marched. These are the wildest moments ever caught on camera on Aurora Ave. ➡️ SWIPE

NEW: Gun battles and pimp wars have escalated near Aurora Ave N. in Seattle. That's why elected officials are now caving to community pressure to take immediate action. Mayor Katie Wilson is shutting down streets between 96th and 102nd to limit shootouts and escape routes for fleeing vehicles. City Attorney Erika Evans says she wants a prosecutor focused exclusively on Aurora to implement so-called Extreme Risk Protection Orders(ERPO,) which would remove firearms from an individual before charges are filed. But Councilmember Bob Kettle says enforcing prostitution and drug laws already on the books would be critical in this public safety fight. Kettle even offered to work on revising the Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution(SOAP) ordinance that Evans refuses to enforce. She says it doesn't work.

NEW: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson is now dealing with a credibility problem. She said homeless outreach and sweeps would be done differently. But in reality, nothing has changed from the prior administration. On Friday, the MLK Jr. Way drug encampment was cleared for the second time in less than a month. The addicts returned immediately and set up tents in the very same spot or simply moved across the street. The so called "service resistant" people do not believe cops will arrest them for illegal camping. Men and women out here also know for a fact City Attorney Erika Evans won't prosecute for open-air drug use. That's why Seattle keeps losing this game of Whack-A-Mole. BTW, anyone see District 2 Councilmember Eddie Lin? This guy is totally MIA when it comes to addressing the street crisis. 🧵👇 Mayor Katie B.

HAPPENING NOW: Christmas shopping is underway in downtown Seattle. But if you are looking for a good deal on stolen items, head to Chinatown-ID. Late Saturday evening, 12th Ave & Jackson St remains a total train wreck. Drug addicts are passed out in vestibules, the mentally ill are flailing in the streets, and cops are driving by without enforcing the law. The vast majority of the people admit they are not homeless. They are here to score drugs. Outgoing Mayor Bruce Harrell has failed this Asian American community after pushing "Housing First" and "harm reduction" policies that are not working. He allowed this neighborhood to turn into a containment zone and human dumping ground. Unless Mayor-elect Katie Wilson dramatically corrects course, the Trump administration should pull the FIFA World Cup from this city in 2026. Bottom line, people running businesses or living in the CID are on their own. Center on Wealth & Poverty at Discovery Institute|Katie Wilson for Seattle Mayor|Mayor Katie B.

Finding a clean public bathroom in Seattle’s Pioneer Square can feel like a scavenger hunt, but the city says relief is on the way — just in time for a major wave of visitors. With the FIFA World Cup just a month away, thousands of people are expected to be looking for a bathroom in Pioneer Square and SODO, so four new public bathrooms are being installed through a partnership with a company called Throne Labs. The new solar-powered bathrooms are designed to have running water without needing a connection to water or sewer. They’ll include heat, light, and be free to use. The city says the restrooms will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a 10-minute limit per use and accessible by cell phone or tap card. Full story here: #komo #komo4 #komonews #seattle

🚨Mayor Wilson double downs Tuesday and rejects claim her staff delayed Sunday briefing for ‘dignitaries’ yet falls flat on reasoning, still evades on who made the decision Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson on Tuesday again denied that anyone in her office blocked the Seattle Police Department from holding an immediate news conference Sunday night after the gang-related mass shooting at the Bite of Seattle festival. A reporter confronted Wilson with new information that between 7:45 and 8 p.m., alleging that someone from the mayor’s office told SPD leadership they could not proceed with a press conference that police wanted to hold right away, citing the arrival of “dignitaries.” “That is not my understanding, no,” Wilson said. Mayor Wilson told reporters Tuesday that there was extensive back-and-forth among her office, police and state and federal elected officials as they coordinated a response. Wilson said authorities were conducting an active search for suspects at Seattle Center and that she was told it would not be helpful for her or other elected officials to arrive at the scene during that time. “We went back and forth and eventually landed on an appropriate time to address the press and to share information,” she said. “That is my understanding.” Pressed further on whether her office issued any order that effectively prevented police from speaking sooner, Wilson referred reporters to her earlier answer. A second reporter shared with Mayor Wilson at the presser that "what makes it difficult to believe" her explanation on the delay is that SPD personnel have received extensive training and paid tens of thousands of dollars to consultants on crisis communication, to conducting pressers without her nor other "dignitaries" needed to be present. Wilson has and is facing repeated criticism about the delay of the presser to be used as a photo op for politicians instead of expediting the pubic safety information to residents. The delay in waiting for "dignitaries" statement from an SPD spokesperson was also captured by Jeremy Harris of KOMO News later Sunday night on video.

NEW: Aggressive drug encampment sweeps in Seattle are happening on Easter weekend under Mayor Katie Wilson. On Saturday, city crews removed the so called "service resistant" from the corner of 3rd Ave and Blanchard St. But they all came roaring back after cops left the area. The game of Whack-A-Mole is out of control. This is near REACH HQ, the homeless outreach division of Evergreen Treatment Services. This non-profit has received millions of dollars in taxpayer funding from the city to address the street crisis. Yet they can't even handle the problem right in front of their building. If one of the primary agencies tasked with getting men and women into housing can't figure this out, how are they going to address the crisis across the city? No wonder homelessness numbers keep going up. I recently confronted program director Chloe Gail about this serious optics problem for her agency. Listen to the way she throws the city under the bus. 🤣 🧵👇 Mayor Katie B. Wilson|Center on Wealth & Poverty at Discovery Institute

HAPPENING NOW: Sunday evening, the drug den at the corner of 12th Ave & Jackson St in Seattle's Chinatown-ID is spiraling out of control. A hoard of addicts are flipping stolen items on the sidewalk which is just a blocks away from Summit Sierra High School. Who needs a bassinet or brand new Nikes? This has nothing to do with homelessness. The vast majority of people out here have housing and are using the streets as a hang out. Constructing tiny houses will not solve this problem. There is no way Mayor Katie Wilson will be able to contain this disaster by building more wooden shacks. Too bad City Attorney Erika Evans refuses to prosecute open-air drug use. The FIFA World Cup is two months away and fans will see this city's failed policies in action. Mayor Katie B.

Inner City D.C. Residents Plead for Federal Help: “Let Trump Take Over” In Washington, D.C., the voices of the people are cutting through the noise. Not politicians, but residents living in daily fear. On the streets of the inner city, Reporter Cara Castronuova heard a message loud and clear. President Trump’s call for federal police help is long overdue. For years, violent crime in the nation’s capital has surged. Shootings, carjackings, and homicides now define daily life in many neighborhoods. While city leaders downplay the crisis, residents say they’ve been left to fend for themselves. This is what they said: • “I’ve been shot four times since moving here.” • “There’s no boxing, no football, no rec centers, no mentors.” • “Other countries are protected. Why can’t we be?” • “Just let Trump take over.” Generations of D.C. kids are growing up with no programs, no safe spaces, only violence. Failed progressive leadership has left entire neighborhoods abandoned. Now, with crime spiraling out of control, the people aren’t asking. They are pleading. They want protection. They want order. They want President Trump.

My name is Rachael Savage and I am officially running for Mayor of Seattle. I need your help. We have all been patient. It is now four years after the pandemic re-opening and we are near the end of one full term with Bruce Harrell as Mayor. The city is still not arresting late stage fentanyl addicts and the untreated mentally ill who are still using drugs, committing crimes and living in the streets of Seattle. The constant presence and unpredictable nature of those suffering from addiction and mental illness threaten the safety and harm the dignity of everyone who lives in, works in and visits Seattle. These preventable street conditions are destroying our businesses. The destruction of hundreds of businesses is driving our cities tax base into the ground. We can save Downtown, the International District, Capitol Hill, First Hill, Queen Anne, Pioneer Square and Ballard if we dramatically change the way that we have tried to help the addicted and the mentally ill. We can have a city free from the death, dereliction and cruelty that current policy is creating. We can immediately stop using the streets and buildings of our city to run experimental addiction and housing models. We can return the police and the courts to their proper role of firmly moving the addicted towards change and rejoining society. We can create a new, state of the art system of care, away from our city neighborhoods that will change the outcome for the citizens and businesses and for those who are suffering from addiction and mental illness. We have a historic opportunity to end the conditions that have been holding Seattle back. We can become a world class civilized city. It can be done. Go to our website and help us to qualify for public campaign financing. We need 600 Seattle residents who feel like we do to donate $10 and to sign the statement of support. Put a new vision on the ballot in 2025.

Hawaii conservation officers are investigating after a man from Seattle allegedly threw a rock at a Hawaiian monk seal off Maui. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources said its Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement, known as DOCARE, responded Monday to reports of monk seal harassment near Lahaina after social media posts appeared to show a man throwing a rock toward a seal in the water. The raw video, provided to KOMO News by the original witness, shows the man appear to pick up a large rock off the beach and hurl it at the seal, landing near or on the animal's head and causing it to rear out of the water. According to the department, an officer contacted a 37-year-old man from Seattle who matched the description provided by a witness. Authorities said the man was detained, identified, and informed of his legal rights before requesting an attorney and declining to make a statement. The state said the investigation will be referred to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Office of Law Enforcement because Hawaiian monk seals are protected under the federal Marine Mammal Protection Act. The man has not been charged, and officials did not release his identity. 📹 - Kaylee Ku'ukamaleimakamae Schnitzer Full story here: #komo #komo4 #komonews #komo4news #seattle #washington #hawaii #monkseal #seal #hawaiitravel #hawaiitourism

The man has not been charged, and officials did not release his identity. 📹 - Kaylee Ku'ukamaleimakamae Schnitzer Full story here: #komo #komo4 #komonews #komo4news #seattle #washington #hawaii #monkseal #seal #hawaiitravel #hawaiitourism

📣 Here's an important message for Cape Town residents on the #TaxiStrike from Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis. "Given ongoing acts of violence and intimidation perpetrated by taxi associations in our city, I would like to update you on where we are today, Monday 7 August: 1) We will not negotiate with a (literal) gun to our heads. There can be no further discussions with local Santaco leadership until their violence stops. Simple. We call on Santaco to stop the violence immediately. 2) The rule of law is not up for negotiation. We cannot negotiate which portions of the law will apply to some people and not to others. This is not the way we will ever build a successful society in South Africa. The law applies equally to everyone. We will apply the law without fear or favour. 3) We are protecting residents and commuters by opening roads, running buses with escorts, and arresting those perpetrators of violence. Our first priority is protecting residents from violent taxi thugs. Most road closures and blockages have been cleared very quickly, and traffic is free flowing for the most part. 4) On Friday there was a productive meeting of City, Province and Santaco where constructive proposals were made and agreed to. On Saturday, Santaco made entirely new demands, and since then there has only been an escalation of violence. Santaco is free to end their strike and accept the terms of Friday’s discussion at any time. If Santaco does not choose to end their strike, then we will need to be prepared to stay the course. We are prepared to do so. As ever I’m grateful for the many people from every neighbourhood and community who have been in contact constantly to reaffirm their support for doing what is right despite difficulty." - Geordin Hill-Lewis

NEW: Wednesday evening, Mayor Katie Wilson shared more details about her plan to address the homeless drug crisis destroying the city. As expected, Wilson put an emphasis on how her office was taking the initiative to build more tiny houses and pallet shelters before the FIFA World Cup in June. But Wilson shared virtually ZERO details on drug treatment and recovery options for addicts suffering on the streets. Wilson just said "wrap around services" would be offered to residents at these shelters. In other words, no requirement to use the treatment and recovery options. It's the same talking point parroted for more than a decade by every King County Democrat that's presided over this state of emergency. This now means Homeless INC will continue to profit off taxpayers and the status quo won't change. I also confronted Mayor Wilson about the rampant drug use uncovered inside the Low Income Housing Institute's tiny house villages. LIHI claims drugs are not allowed in common areas but residents say it happens behind closed doors and most staff look the other way. Anyway, LIHI is supposed to be one of the key players in Wilson's homelessness response. Watch what she had to say. Mayor Katie B. Wilson|Center on Wealth & Poverty at Discovery Institute
