My niece and nephew are doctors in Seattle. What they wanted most this year has happened - the rains have returned.
I'm not making light of the drug issues there. For, we face the same burdens here in Utah. Mostly because of opiates, we're seeing far too many people dying young.

I don't know anywhere in this country that has not been invaded by this epidemic.

While that is true, I think the flotsam from the epidemic cluster in certain places, which choose to foster & fund the phenomenon. For instance, while I am certain the drug wave is here in San Antonio, I have seen no indication of filthy homeless camps here. Why stay here, when they can go someplace where welfare is so much better to support a habit? “Build it and they will come.”Originally Posted by Dave Grubb

Dying maybe to strong but what I do know is that Seattle is losing convention business at an alarming rate. I have friends who live in the suburbs who tell me they don't even think about going to the city because of the cesspool it has become because of the local governments inaction or inability to deal with the drug and homeless crisis.

Seattle and Portland... And pretty much the whole Cascadia coast are on borrowed time. When the Cascadia subduction zone ruptures, the resulting earthquake will have a massive underwater vertical component. The quake will be bad enough, but it will be followed roughly 5 minutes later by a 200 foot high tsunami.
