#790 - Seattle Business Leaders Demand Swift Action to Dire Situation in Downtown

Business and civic leaders on Thursday called for immediate action and investment to address the mental health and substance abuse crisis in downtown Seattle.

Executives from Amazon.com Inc., Vulcan Inc. and Weyerhaeuser Co. were among the approximately five dozen signers of the letter, which the Downtown Seattle Association sent to the City Council and Metropolitan King County Council. It was full of hair-raising tales of assaults, vandalism and other crime.

Among other things, the letter asked the city to adopt all of the public safety and housing investments, including increasing the number of Community Service Officers (CSO), proposed in Mayor Jenny Durkan's 2022 budget.

Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW, and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.
