Seattle is gone thanks to Progessives.

Crime-ravaged Seattle is now so dangerous it can no longer protect its own workers: Security guards are hired to walk county staffers to station or ferry (but you’re on your own if you work in the private sector)

• King County employees will now have security guards escort them to their cars or public transportation hubs each evening after work
• Those given the option to use the guarded ‘walking bus’ work in offices in Downtown Seattle, and in the city’s Pioneer Square
• Both have become a hub for homeless encampments, many of whose residents are dangerous  
• The move comes amid a surge in violent crime throughout Seattle, including a 35% increase in shootings
• Seattle’s former police chief Carmen Best, the city’s first black female top cop, said that residents are eager to see more cops on the streets
• She resigned in August 2020 after the City Council slashed the department by 100 officers following pressure from Black Lives Matter protests 
• The city has since lost another 250 officers, including 100 who were ousted for not getting the Covid-19 vaccine
