Owner of Seattle's Woodland Coffee frustrated by rising crime

SEATTLE — A frustrated Seattle business owner says she's tired of dealing with break-ins and threats to her customers and workers.

She’s reaching out to nearby businesses to see if they want to band together to create a safer environment in their community.

Crime statistics from the Seattle Police Department show a rise in burglaries and thefts at businesses in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. Businesses in this area have dealt with countless break-ins and say when they call for help police can’t always get there.

Vanessa Daiger owns Woodland Coffee in the Ballard neighborhood and says in the five years they’ve been open, things have gotten worse. The last few weeks have taken a sudden turn.

“I've never seen it like this,” Daiger said.

Daiger said employees don’t feel safe walking to work and they had a recent sex crime occur inside the shop.

“For me, to have to call the police four times in one week, that's never happened for me to have to ask people to leave multiple times a day. That's never happened,” she said.

Daiger said she reached out to police for help.

“I called SPD and asked if they could have extra patrols and that hasn't taken up and decided to take things into my own hands,” she said.

She called a local security company to see about hiring private security.

44% of those voting in Seattle's November general election voted for a far left, prosecute no crimes city attorney*.

That tells one all you need to know about the problem.Seattle is nucking futs! It starts with the people, not the government.

More than likely not.

I am virtually certain that for her, supporting a woman's right to infanticide when "randomly afflicted by pregnancy" outweighs voting for a Republican under any circumstance...

I wonder if they serve police there, or perhaps it’s a ‘safe space’?

She should form a buying group to get volume discounts on pump action 12 gauge shotguns, like Mossberg 500/590s.

Some models are even named “Persuader.”

Oh I doubt it. I bet if asked, she would vote for Biden over Trump and for all local democrats again. She probably still supports BLM, antifa and the George Floyd riots also.

I like the 590A1 that you can hang a bayonet on.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk.

That’s what happens when you continue to vote Democratic.

It is so sad because 20 years ago Seattle was a beautiful livable city. Now there are homeless people setting up camps all over the city.
