1. Other than public safety issue, article doesn't really speak to root causes of dissatisfaction with incumbents

Sad, as Seattle had such potential as a great American city and really lost its way with the final nail in the coffin being the pandemic. Lived there 30 years and left 3 years ago as just too many issues and too much traffic with no hope in sight. Went back in December to visit friends and was very disappointed with lack of improvement. Pike Place Market, which was my sanity saver during the pandemic, was a shadow of its former self. Just one green grocer left and most fresh food stalls replaced by t-shirt and other souvenir vendors. Very sad.
