If you recently watched KOMO News, you might have heard that “Seattle is dying.” Or maybe you heard Fox News’ Tucker Carlson say Seattle is “experiencing widespread degradation” and “suffocating under garbage.” Or KIRO Radio’s Dori Monson say there’s “no way” he’d take a late-night walk in Seattle since we’ve allowed “the criminals to absolutely take over.”
Conservative blowhards really want the world to believe that Seattle is a dirty, crime-ridden hellhole. It’s not.
Seattle is a beautiful city. It’s true that the city faces an unprecedented housing emergency, but it’s also true that we’re the country’s fastest-growing big city for a reason: People really, really want to live here.
