‘Night and day’: downtown business owners hope Seattle police mobile precinct will stay

KIRO7 cameras saw nearly a dozen officers on patrol in the block, including police on bikes, foot, and in vehicles.

“It was like a flea market. You walk there in the middle, and they have stolen stuff right and left, they set up the booths, selling anything you name. Drugs, selling, buying, everything,” Yousuf said. “If the cops leave, it’s going to suck,” Jules said. “Once they leave I already know it’s going to come back to the same thing. It’s going to be probably worse,” he said.

I was downtown yesterday and it was a lot better but still folk between Pike & Union is still a mess. The police were between the portion of Pike & Pine primarily. While I waited for a bus at Benaroya, I watched some guy buying Tide laundry soap from someone else. Stolen?

Great local news story Team KIRO! 💕
