Seems like those hot spots would be good places to go back to having cops walking a beat. More visibility and more interaction with the people.
Democrats’ solution? Ban the streets!
“Any sane person who knows the area shouldn’t be driving down MLK Way”
According to the old Chris Rock bit, you don’t even need to know the area. If you are on a street named after MLK anywhere in America, RUN!
Combat crime, quit paying for illegitimacy (the vast majority of criminals come from single mother households).
Another success story brought to you by LBJs Great Society. < /s > ;~((
I have never seen a cop in the Pioneer Square area, but used to see cops in the Bowery, but that was in the days of cops walking a beat.
Let me see if I can guess without reading the article:
Martin Luther King Boulevard
Malcolm X Boulevard
Cesar Chavez Boulevard
How did I do?

This amazes me. 1st a 14 year study cost how much? And it looks like there was a study to study the summary and write an additional report...how much did that jewel cost? To study something law enforcement uses as a tool, wasn’t it some type of “containment policy” to allow certain areas to have these kind of problems sparing more desirable neighborhoods from similar crime?
An egregious waste of resources. They could have had learned the same results by walking into a squad room and talking to some veteran officers for free.
When was Empire Way renamed MLK Blvd.?
“When was Empire Way renamed MLK Blvd.?”
1983, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_streets_named_after_Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.#cite_note-11
Thanks.
I was serving in Asia and missed it.
Not only that but.....
The county was originally named after William Rufus King who was Vice-President when the Washington Territory was created. In 1986 a motion was introduced by Ron Sims (a black Democrat from Seattle), and Bruce Laing (a white Republican from suburban Renton) to rename the county after Martin Luther King, Jr. No public hearings or votes were taken on the change.
Good, it will be easy to undo after the revolution.
Smart Bombs are the answer.
I stay out of Seattle. I used to a Mariners game once a year but not anymore. My wife is from Everett and we go there once in a while but only to visit family and friends in relatively safe neighborhoods.

Yeah, I remember that fiasco. The County Which Shall Remain Nameless (lol) spent a half-a-million dollars just to change the *county logo* from that of a crown to that of a likeness of MLK. Never mind what else has been spent to assuage the County’s political correctness bug ...
Since we renamed KING County, and William Rufus deVane King was Vice-President when the Washington Territory was created, shouldn’t we rename PIERCE County as well? After all, Franklin Pierce was President at the time ...
I wonder whether the LA Kings ice hockey team will change their obviously racist “crown” logo and stop “dissing” MLK.
