The Blade,Seattle

WEARING see-through white lingerie and matching sliders, a young girl displays bare legs and a vacant stare as she stands on the street corner.

His claim is backed by reports of girls as young as 11 working the two-mile strip of single storey businesses and cheap motels that make up The Blade.

I saw a girl recently that had to be no older than 12 or 13 and it broke my heart”Another commented: “Many of the girls aren't there by choice.
