Yay Seattle. Here’s a good example of why vans disappear here, this from a recent homeless camp cleanup...

You will note not a single mayoral candidate mentioned crime. They are all too “ Woke.” For that.


The inmates are running the asylum.

That's some opioids ruining some lives. And causing loads of peripheral trouble in the community.
Here's an Everett Herald story about the needles. Everett is 40 miles north of Seattle.

It reflects a public health crisis, not some kind of tabloid criminal saga. Any crime spillover is a symptom of the larger issues that need to be dealt with from the federal down to the local level. This country has very poorly organized priorities. The fact that Vanagons are involved just means that some in our community got caught up in this crisis either as perps or victims.

To no one's surprise, there is more wisdom in an antique car forum than in the chamber of the people's deputies…we'd be better off drafting our legislators than electing them.
