Katie Wilson's New Seattle Crime Plan Won't Work Here Is What Happens Next
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has unveiled yet another "new approach" to the city's notorious 12th and Jackson corridor — one of the most active open-air drug and stolen-goods markets on the entire West Coast. The plan promises police enforcement, outreach workers, and treatment referrals. Sound familiar? It should, because the Chinatown International District has been living through variations of this announcement for twenty years.The Asian community in Little Saigon has watched this corridor collapse while city leaders recycled the same playbook. The LEAD diversion program hasn't worked. The community meetings and studies haven't worked. The $1.1 million in services haven't moved the needle. Meanwhile, real families — including high schoolers — navigate the gauntlet daily while Seattle leadership insists that consequences for criminal behavior are somehow not the answer.The progressive refusal to arrest, prosecute, and jail people who are openly dealing drugs and stolen goods is not a policy position — it's a choice to let a community die slowly. Until Katie Wilson's administration is willing to do what actually changes behavior on the street, every new plan is just another press conference on the way to the next one.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary on Pacific Northwest politics, urban policy, and the stories Seattle's legacy media won't touch straight.#Seattle #HomelessCrisis #KatieWilsonGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
