Seattle, Portland and Chicago soon to follow.”
Here in Seattle we had shops and restaurants in downtown closing last year before there was wuflu riots.
With the homeless and the drug addicts everywhere, no one wanted to linger after work to shop or eat and folks certainly didn’t want to just drive downtown in the evening.
Then the riots and downtown boarded up, Nordstrom’s flagship store entirely looted, the police chief quitting because she was not allowed to do her job. Seattle is basically destroyed.
I agree. When I come home from my flights and my folks pick me up we head south on I5 and come up to where we live on Hwy101 completely avoiding Seattle; it’d be easier and quicker to take the ferry over to the Olympic Peninsula but we don’t want to go anywhere near downtown Seattle even if it’s just on I5 to Edmonds.
