What would you say has become of Seattle?
- 01100011 3y agoIt's an interesting picture... rising cost of living and affluence at the same time as law and order broke down. It's getting better from what I hear, but my relatives still avoid downtown. Definitely not the city I strolled around solo as a kid. I have a relative in public safety(fire) who deals enough with cops to know that the problems are not coming from cops feeling spurned. A combination of lax laws and an almost pro-crime judiciary sent things into a spiral. Things finally got bad enough that PNW liberals are becoming more pragmatic and it looks to be improving. Time will tell.
