Jason Rantz: Seattle on life support – here's why businesses and residents are fleeing
Fox News
Plagued by surging violent crime and uncontrollable homelessness, Seattle business owners have had it. They are getting out of town before their employees or customers are seriously injured. Residents are following suit.
Seattle is on life support, while the mayor and City Council remain silent on the worsening crisis. City parks are overrun with aggressive homeless people in tents, surrounded by trash, needles and human waste. A rash of business closures have hit Seattle, threatening the city’s COVID recovery. In downtown Seattle alone, over 160 businesses have permanently closed their doors according to a new report. It’s created an office vacancy rate of 12% – a five-year high. While area activists blame COVID, the business people leaving are clear with their motivations.More Related News
