What I hoped for from Katie Wilson: A smooth operator whose bland exterior hides a passionate solidarity with our most vulnerable neighbors.
What I feared from Katie Wilson: Kinder, gentler sweeps.

So while acknowledging there is not shelter space for ppl to go to, you will continue your predecessor's policy of sweeps. Kinder, gentler sweeps.
Where in this plan are sanctioned camping spots? Even 1000 new shelter beds will not begin to solve this. Where's the urgency as ppl continue to die?

I really need people outside of Seattle to know how much Krist Novoselic sucks
![A screenshot of a Facebook post by Krist Novoselić:
A new proposal would prohibit clearing encampments unless local government provides higher levels of accommodation for shelter. Our state's ruling party is attempting to codify what appears to be a lifestyle. There's no longer any expectation of personal accountability.
Quoted post from Cascade Party Washington:
WA legislature proposal out of touch with worsening chronic addiction homelessness - read now in The Summit (independent press of Cascade Party WA).

Early this morning, a fleet of ICE vehicles being transported by car carrier was spotted traveling west on I-90, ending up in Everett.
Everett, specifically around the Casino Road area, has been a hot spot for #ICE activity.

It’s on-brand for the conservative leaning @kuow.org that their promo for a discussion of the millionaire tax is “WA Dems want to tax every dollar of your income over $1M”
That’s misleading & inflammatory to the point of a being lie.
Truth is the tax is 10 cents of every dollar of income over $1M
