The man sold drugs outside the coffee shop for about five years. Robert finally had enough and asked him to move someplace else.
“He says, ‘I’m not moving, and I got guns.’ Today, the same guy, he threatens me with a gun,” Robert told KTTH. Robert hurried to summon Seattle Police. According to Robert, officers followed him on foot, seizing a gun and a knife. Seattle Police report threats of violence made on the 500 block of 3rd Ave. on Thursday morning.“I was thinking about just taking some time off. But I’m not going to do that. Because the coffee shop is doing so well. Pioneer Square is coming back to life. And I love the vibe. I love the visitors coming to Pioneer Square. It’s such a great place to be,” Robert added.
Drug abuse is destroying our streets. It's ruining families & taking lives. Harsher punishments for those caught with illegal drugs, should be considered. Seeing drug deals in broad daylight, shows many of us that drug dealers are in control. There's no true law & order.
I've heard of Cop Bars, perhaps the Yellow Butterfly could become a Cop Coffee Shop. seattpd
