Maysaa Abouhamze owns Cinnaholice in Capitol Hill and had her window shattered by what she believes was a bullet.According to Seattle Police statistics, crime is on the decline compared to this same time last year. SPD data shows that so far this year there have been 18 fatal shootings, compared to the same time frame last year which had the city at 21 fatal shootings.

“I come from New York City where we see crime but to see a city that was not that, turn into a metropolis of crime and to see really good officers not able to do their job, it’s disheartening,” Adames said.
