Is Seattle ready to host 1 million people tomorrow for the parade, or World Cup? They can’t even deal with crime, open air drug markets, or homelessness and camps…
That could be said for any host city World Cup is in.
I hope it’s not no kids
Our Mayor needs to remember to tackle items that aren’t related to bus routes, govt grocery stores, and renter rights. A city needs to be safe as well.
