@Hoxxsh747 lol and the Mayor at one point wanted to house the homeless in regular affordable housing buildings with gen pop and not specialized buildings….all while making it almost impossible to evict somebody. We’re going to see more of this unless she changes her plan. We need folks in mental hospitals and drug rehab not gen pop and not on the street.
Not everything is ICE related
Is that the Marco Polo?
@Fremonsterr @Ikbe - not seeing where anyone mentioned ICE. This was definitely local law enforcement (and one sammamish police truck). Clearly in response to a barricade situation described in the alert.
