The Chop zone was a blow to Washington as a whole. Mayor Jenny Durkan hates the police. When BLM took over the police station, the dumb cluck said “Seattle is fine. Don’t be so afraid of Democracy.” What an airhead! She has no idea we live in a republic. On the other hand maybe she was right that democracy is more about mob rule than government by the people. Portland is also run the same way. It looks so beautiful, but as you drive the freeways, homeless camps are under every overpass. They are making pallet homes for the vagrants in a town near where I live. This apparently is the new normal that Biden and others talked about.
