The progressive Seattle Times has issued a warning to residents of the city by turning on neighboring Portland, Oregon, referring to the city as 'a landfill.'
Columnist Jon Talton penned the piece, 'A tale of two cities: Portland offers a worrying example for Seattle,' writing that citizens should be concerned.
In the article, Talton shared that one person he spoke with said Portland 'looks like the road to the landfill and, in some areas, the landfill itself.'
The person who spoke with the author blamed the city's own 'preoccupations with grand abstractions such as 'social justice,' liberal policies, and high tax rates.
Seattle has long been compared to Portland due to their Pacific Northwest locations, climates, Democratic leadership, and recently, their drug and homelessness issues.
Many tourists visiting the Pacific Northwest visit both cities during a trip, with Seattle and Portland famed for their good food, grunge music scenes and lush green scenery, before crime, drugs and homelessness overran both locales.
The Seattle Times is a left-leaning publication, with its condemnation of Portland likely to provoke ire among residents of the Oregon city who've long considered their Washington neighbors friendly rivals.
In the article, Talton described Portland pre demise as a 'quirky, endearing city,' known for its walkable neighborhoods and youthful, vibrant districts.
'This was a city that cared about itself, going back decades,' the author wrote.
That quickly changed however as city politics centered around crime, drugs, and homelessness, devolved and turned the city into a hellscape for many residents.
Among the major issue facing Portlanders is how to solve their problems, with many Rose City residents vocal fans of anarchist politics which condemn almost all police activity.
'The split is between compassion and open arms and citizens affected by crime, garbage and encampments overflowing into sidewalks and neighborhoods.

Seattle votes in commies. It's just a matter of time.
Pot, kettle...
I don’t know Latin, but a search of “Embrace the Suck” turned up “Amplecti lac”. Appropriate motto for sanctuary cities.
Anybody with just a little common sense and half a brain saw this coming miles away but noooooo, they had to prove their liberal woke utopia was the world of the future.
Well, as my mom and dad used to say when I got myself into a fix of my own doing......”you made your bed, now lie in it”.
This experiment has failed. When given the opportunity, many will lay about, take devastating drugs, and participate in deviant acts of sex and violence. Without strong moral standards society cannot exist. Maybe the experiment hasn’t failed at all and should serve as an example to all. (Seattle/Portland-Sodom/Gomorrah, or would that be San Francisco/Los Angeles?)
Be it social science, economics, real science, and even language, the left takes a bodacious dump on everything it touches. We all know what we’re going to have to do about the left, but no is brave enough to start saying it.
...and probably smells like one too.
Portland is actually a toxic waste dump, not a mere landfill - like every other crown jewel city of America, liberals have destroyed every single thing they touch:
San Francisco
Chicago
Detroit- the Motor City
New Orleans
DC
Baltimore
Los Angeles
Seattle
New York City
Philadelphia
No landfill I'm aware of permits human waste.
What Portland is, Seattle will be

add: Milwaukee - over 100 years of Democrat rule. Shooters and looters branching out to nearby towns and cities.
It’s the wealthy who ruined it. So proud of their love for the down and out. If they really loved them, they wouldn’t have let the city be destroyed. I saw it plenty of times before and after.
Other cities take note.
Don’t let the rich people ease their conscience by giving fancy boots and sleeping bags to those living on the streets. Fix the problem, whatever it may be.
In Portland it was the Portlandia TV show and the meth epidemic. And then of course letting Antifa run wild. Your mileage may vary.
Portland is what anarchy looks like. Antifa are anarchists.

Doing our best to stop at the county border- Waukesha Co Sherriff Dept. will not play especially after 2021 Christmas Parade Massacre

Nice to have a preview of what is coming to your hole.
Throw in Austin.
