  • "Come visit Seattle where our mayor and city council have endorsed lawlessness! If you love to shoot up or smoke meth or heroin in public, defecate in public, throw trash anywhere you want, love to break into houses and cars to steal things without being punished, disregard basic human decency, rape women in public restrooms, strangle and beat tourists, and want to contract hepatitis, then our city is perfect for you! Oh and the police won’t arrest you for committing crimes—right in front of them! We’re also a sanctuary city so if you’re a drug dealer that happens to be an illegal immigrant, council member Lorena Gonzalez created a legal fund to help you fight for your right to stay in America—doesn’t matter if you’re a convicted felon including rapists! You might call it The Emerald City but the junkies call it “Brown Town” or “Junkie Town"

Come visit Seattle where our mayor and city council have endorsed lawlessness! If you love to shoot up or smoke meth or heroin in public, defecate in public, throw trash anywhere you want, love to break into houses and cars to steal things without being punished, disregard basic human decency, rape women in public restrooms, strangle and beat tourists, and want to contract hepatitis, then our city is perfect for you! Oh and the police won’t arrest you for committing crimes—right in front of them! We’re also a sanctuary city so if you’re a drug dealer that happens to be an illegal immigrant, council member Lorena Gonzalez created a legal fund to help you fight for your right to stay in America—doesn’t matter if you’re a convicted felon including rapists! You might call it The Emerald City but the junkies call it “Brown Town” or “Junkie Town.” The junkies love it so much here because city council members like Sally “Dimebag” Bagshaw think taxpayers should create a fund to GIVE heroin to addicts! No wonder the addicts are flocking here from all over the country. I’d be on the first train to Seattle if I was a junkie! And our city council will never admit that we have a DRUG PROBLEM; keep calling it a homeless problem because it has nothing to do with drugs, right? Our city council loves to focus on problems not affecting Seattle. We have the third worst homeless problem in the US and the city council members want to focus on the Israel-Palastine conflict. They’ll pass a law stating they won’t do their banking with Wells Fargo ever again and then go crawling back to Wells Fargo to beg for them to be their bank less than a year later. They push for levies that cost 12 times the original cost and say: sorry no money for that! Yet keep collecting the money from taxpayers. They blame all the businesses for the economic and societal ills of Seattle but won’t do anything to try and fix the problems even though we have a 5 billion dollar plus city budget. Poor Boston only runs on 3 billion, has 50% more police, and manages to get things done with their measly budget—what’s wrong with them?!? Our city council will keep asking for more and more taxpayer money to fix problems that keep getting worse and guess what—they won’t solve anything! Council member Kshama Sawant will fly all over the US and Europe to advocate for socialism, while ignoring the problems plaguing Seattle and publicly declaring: “Jeff Bezos is Seattle’s number one enemy.” She will also waste her time going on the campaign trail for Jill Stein, publicly screaming not to vote for Hilary Clinton, and then throw a tantrum when Trump wins the election. She claims that repealing the head tax was against what the citizens of Seattle wanted. The citizens of Seattle weren’t allowed to vote for the head tax because the city council never offered a vote on it!! They voted for it and then repealed it a month later—comedic geniuses!! They created it without any input from the voters because they know what’s best, right?? Sawant, the socialist, also refuses to disclose her financial information as an elected official. Oh the irony... Then there’s Mike O’Brien...he was one of the members that pushed for the $15 an hour minimum wage. Ironically his wife started a business and said in an interview that “I can’t afford to pay any employees so I have friends that volunteer their time helping me with my business.” Wow the guy that’s screamed people need a fair wage has a business that won’t pay minimum wage because it’s too expensive. Huh?!? Google Mike O’Brien, Lisa Herbold, Theresa Mosqueda, Rob Johnson, Bruce Harrell, and Debora Juarez for more laughs. Our new mayor was the best selection out of a race of turds too. She was the best turd out of 20 plus turds that ran. I don’t blame anyone who is sane and has the iniative to get things done to run for mayor here. You’d have the headache of battling the inept city council. It’s a lose-lose situation for the citizens. Vote them all out 2019!! If we don’t we’re f*****!!!

The city of Seattle has gotten worse, and the fault is on you. There are more Dangerous Homeless People than ever, and you're doing nothing about this. They Homeless don't deserve special treatment, and neither do you. You are allowing them to sleep in many good, peaceful Neighborhoods, including my parents' neighborhood, where it's been good to be in until these Homeless people showed up. They are constantly Loitering, Shoplifting, Harassing Innocent Home Owners, Destroying Public Property, sleeping in our Parks and Bus Stops, parking there Sketchy Campers in peaceful/good areas where we live in and we're the "Bad Guys" because we asked/demanded to have them removed from our neighborhoods all because we just want our Friends and Family Members to be safe from these Dangerous People!?! SHAME ON YOU!!! You all should be removed from office and replaced with better individuals who care about our safety. When did you all become such Pushovers and allow the Homeless to walk all over you? SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!!!

  • Stevie Wayne

I just want to say Seattle has become a filthy, disgusting place with all the heroin addicts and homeless law breakers everywhere. I have lived here all my life an I have seen the rapid decline under Mayor Murray and the incumbent council members as well as the last incompetent idiot. I have had to buy weapons to be ready to protect my life, family and property. They want heroin injection sites that will attract every junkie around the country just as pot has done with the homeless. They want to let homeless live in their cars in front of city residents. They will watch you and your neighbors come and go and learn the best times to rob your home or you. It is a bad ideal. Don't be surprised if these cars get burned up by people who have already been stolen from and don't want people living in cars in front of their homes. Piss, feces, needles mentally ill strangers and more in front of your house? Not mine.

  • J Hamilla

I am from Flint. MI(Before the whole lead water scandal) and to be honest, I am starting to reconsider my move. This city council is a complete disgrace to democracy. They do nothing to improve the commonwealth and pass ridiculous laws and taxes that pad their own pockets. I am a middle ground politically viewed individual but these disgraced examples of humanity claim to be democratic. They are everything but. We now live in a city that promotes lawlessness among the less fortunate and penalizes the law abiding citizens. In what world should it be okay to deficate on sidewalks, shoot up heroin on public property and yet if you can't pay a ridiculous parking fee or park too close to a driveway you are fined. Let the police do their job, let the court do their job and stop giving the individuals who contribute nothing to society run your agendas and get a free pass.

  • Jeff Freeman

The legacy of the seattle city council can be summarized in one item: a blue tarp. This symbolizes the vast takeover of our once-beautiful city by drug addicted tent campers and rv dwellers that the "esteemed" council has not only allowed, but encouraged. I've worked in Seattle since 1987, and what I see daily repulses me. How about switching from enabling drug and alcohol filled lives to caring about the basic health, welfare, and environment of the law-abiding, tax-paying constituents and visitors?? The council reaction to the drug/homeless crisis is not only misinformed, but dangerous to the public. You cannot pick and choose the laws to enforce and who gets a free pass. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!

  • Hunter “Porndawg” Maxson

Haven't personally met anyone or spoken to them, but today I watched a video of a council hearing and the way I saw the council members acting was just as gross and disgusting as the amount of trash there is in the streets. As a Washingtonian from a small town where the people actually are listened to by the council all I feel is rage and sadness for the residents of Seattle who try and voice the problems of their city. It's not right for the council to act the ways they do and treat people the way they do. The council needs to be replaced with folks from the community who actually care and wanna see a positive change in the place they and so many others call home.

  • Shane Brasher

Well socialist America, if Venezuela wasn’t proof enough, Seattle will change your mind. Just spent my first weekend there after being gone for 8 years. In such a short time it has changed drastically. City counsel is the issue. This is not a humanitarian crisis. These people are not homeless. They choose this life to support their addition. An addition that they also choose, and you allow them to disguise it as homelessness. If these people remain in office, Seattle will soon be the worst major city in America. The cousil has to resign. They are not the leaders we need to solve this problem. They are just in over their head.

  • Paul Hawkins

I find Seattle to be one of the most corrupt,incompetent cities I've ever lived.It's set up for the rich.Yes the wealthy receive food stamps here.And I don't qualify? Seen it with my own eyes.Standing in grocery lines.ppl in front of me with ebt cards hundreds of dollars cash on them too.Im homeless and was denied? Just a slave to stadium work.No place to live and no resources because I work.Alabama is better.Go to hell seattle!

  • R. U there.

Having grown up in Washington and watching the changes Seattle has gone through. I can honestly say that I’m sad for the current situation in the city. Homless junkies that sleep on the sidewalks in pioneer square, homeless campsite on the side of i90 leading into Seattle. The Mayor of Seattle and the city council have destroyed a once beautiful city. Republicans have no ideas so could careless what they say.

  • Mist Weaver

The Seattle city council is genuinely seeking positive change in the city, but seems weighed down by legislative limits. Routine measures such as moving water easements to reflect changed water lines had been waiting 12 years before finishing today, and school safety boards cited wait times of 2 years or more to update code legislation to remove outdated parking laws for new schools.

  • Eileen Crawford

Seattle City Council must be replaced now. It is driven by ideology, not practical, compassionate solutions for the homeless and for the rest of us. Letting mentally I'll and drug-addicted homeless rule our streets and green spaces is wrong. Other cities have solutions. Let's try what works.

  • Justin McCarter

Thanks for hurting the smaller businesses and the lower income. Also thanks fot not giving us a voice on the beverage tax. You really dropped the ball on that one.... Unless you're trying to run the low income out of seattle. Either way you guys screwed us, next time please use lube thanks

  • Navid Paydavosi

The don't answer any email,petition or request to meet. This should be a very weak and broken Council. Drug use in public and RVs on many streets have made this city very unsafe and ugly. I feel bad for the residents and for those tourists who decides to visit the city!

  • mtndgz2

I've lived in Seattle 18 years and every year the roads have gotten worse, the once revered Ferry system has gotten worse, homeless, crime, running a business, safety, Cost of living, all worse off every year. They have plenty of income but can't make anything better.

  • Keith Sherman

For one group alone, in all of America, I am heartily in favor of bringing back tar, feathers, and railroad ties. That is the Seattle City Council. They are too foolish to understand how foolish they are. It's painful for all of us.

  • James Anderson

I honestly do not understand how these people ever become elected. The issues isn't even that they are radically left as a whole, but that they just don't know how to do their job. I'm sure there are plenty of other democrats and

  • Daniel Braunstein

Seattle is tolerant, as long as you're okay with being ignored by the current Dicta- I mean council members. The only things that aren't overly taxed include the air you breathe (when allowed) and Amazon Corporate.

  • Frederick Landro

No one with the power to solve Seattle's problems seems to have any solutions. Enforce laws, send criminals to jail, and pay for rehabilitation that works. Let's help people before they OD in the streets.

  • Live Work LLC

Crime, homeless, drug use, zombies every where. When we moved here 15 years ago, it was relatively safe and clean. Now, every time you go out there or park ur car on the street, you better watch out.

  • Rob Branson

Useless. The progressives on the council don’t care about businesses, taxpayers, or public safety. They care about burnishing their uber progressives credentials and little else. Utter failures.

  • Mark Perez

Has anyone in city hall actually been to seattle? I can only imagine they go there, see the tents, homelessness, trash, graffiti, and chaos and think to themselves “im doing a good job”.

  • Roberto Rios

Welcome to the most gridlocked, crowded city in the Western U.S. We don't have the allure of Hollywood, or the culture of Portland, but we sure have all their traffic and taxes to boot.

  • Burt O

For a council to treat a citizen with such disrespect during a public comment session is disgraceful. Remove them all and start with a new council is my recommended course of action.

  • Ry Lor

Anyone who continues to vote for these people have blood on their hands. You had an opportunity to actually help addicts and the mental ill. Instead you once again chose death.

  • Craig Allegro

Stop enabling the drug addicts and the homeless. We need leadership with results not handouts. If you are not careful you will find businesses leaving the city.

  • Brandon Secondary

I have shared the video. My twin lives in seattle. Im sure he will pass along the vote for re election this term. Change ya life like that huh power of media.

  • Michael Marsh

Absolutely worthless as public servants. They just push weird agendas and pat themselves on the back while the city descends into chaos.

  • Dennis Loney

Inept. Rude.They have no concept of public service or democracy. Not one single member is worthy of serving the people.

  • Omar Shah

Finally listening to people who are not wealthy Seattlites and who don't control the local elections with their money.
