Seattle has been a horror show for getting onto a couple decades now, first with their Luddite attitudes against any kind of modern technology, then in regards to any challenge to their intellectual supremacy. They consider themselves above criticism for their ossified thinking, and have not had a new idea in their entire lives, instead returning again and again to concepts that have failed everywhere in the world where these ideas and beliefs were previously attempted.
The crime rates are a symptom, and not a cause of their present state of grief and woe.
It was the late 80’s. Alaska Air offered $68 roundtrip airfare from SFO to Seattle-cheap. Just had to go. Walked around those areas and there were just a few homeless. Today I wouldn’t go to any of those cities. They were once great road trips where one could watch their favorite team when they were in town. Enjoy the fine cuisine at Hooters. I think it’s not just Hooters that paid the price for all these derelicts.
This is all true! My daughter lives there and I hate to visit. How can democrats ruin such a beautiful state?

The inexorable downhill slide began the night Alice In Chains played the Central saloon. December 28th, 1988.
Every day was a little worse after that.

I first went to Seattle about 25 years ago. It was great. Clean, safe, I didn’t see any homeless downtown where I stayed. I had only gone back a couple times since. Last was driving through last year to pick up someone from the airport and visit the museums and space needle. What a dump. Pike market looked abandoned. The trash and homeless camp by the space needle were gross and smelly.
