No, my beautiful birth city is no longer beautiful, it has been transformed into a rancid pot of drug junkies committing a sundry of property crimes to support their habit, 400+ homeless camps throughout the city, overfilled with garbage spewing out into neighborhoods.
The 'progressives' on the city council ignoring/abetting the homeless scourge, corruption unabated at city hall to reward the homeless-industrial complex leaders who do nothing to alleviate the problem but to encourage it's growth with more taxes.
The residents of Seattle are fed-up with this blight happening in Seattle and are organizing and speaking out.

A conservative or 'moderate' will never get elected to the Seattle city council until the Mike O'Briens and Kshama Sawants are kicked to the curb. I certainly hope Seattle citizens wake-up.
I hear you but I’ve seen over decades good things such as the new Arboretum loop which I also had a hand in.
But you are right, the liberal rot is viewable now and decay is happening.
However, I see this as part of the political lifecycle wherein liberals get pushed out by smart business owners who are pragmatic, who understand the bottom line is what counts.
So, I look at the long-term.
Liberals always have ideas bigger than can be afforded, hence they always look for a way to tax anything that moves.
The $15 minimum wage has closed down a lot of businesses. The soda tax is so stupid it’s embarrassing. Years ago liberals wanted to tax lattes because it was a symbol of superfluous excess. The business owners nixed that one.
