Washington has a lot of work to do and a long ways to go too because when I moved here and lived in Seattle, Des Moines, and Bellevue but more Seattle like around 3rd and Pike, Pike Place Market area, and down by the water near the strip club that’s on the corner and Starbucks are all huge tours locations but also a major homeless, and drug addiction crisis too. I left and went back home to California after living here for 5-6 years. I don’t know what it’s looking like now but I’m sure it’s not any better than it was before. I’ve also heard that everyone has went from using heroin and crystal meth to using fentanyl now because fentanyl is all that’s mostly out there.
Our KC Sheriff is doing an awesome job clearing the drugs out of our city. I want to give my personal “THANK YOU” to the KC Police Dept.
Yahoo….good job! Pro active is what our community needs to keep everyone healthy.
When the police make an arrest for drug use, distribution, and/or theft; they should post a photo of the criminal so everyone can know who these scumbags are!
