Like many other liberal havens, Seattle does this kind of stuff on purpose. They make it more attractive so homeless druggies will flood in from all over the USA, & then they cry about how bad the homeless crisis is so they can get federal aid. It's all about getting hand outs from Uncle Sam. It was proven not too long ago that Seattle was getting enough money to fight their homeless problem that they could actually give every single homeless person (including every homeless child) over $100K a year. That would mean they had enough money coming in to give a homeless couple with 3 children half a million dollars a year. Yet, those homeless kids barely see any of that money.
