This is not the only city on the US West Coast with this issue. Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are suffering from the same issues.

I can avoid going to those cities again. No need to spend my money there. I have spent many days in each of those cities and don't have any desire to go back. My last trip to Seattle was in late October. A woman, at a small reunion, violated the common sense adage to avoid politics and religious topics.
Upon realizing that I was a conservative, she game unglued and kept it up for an entire evening. I could not avoid her childish rants. For me, it ruined the event.
I had mentioned that I had AG Meese on a flight but only talked to the (armed) Secret Service men that were escorting him. Her reaction was to make faces like a kindergarten brat and then go off on how she hated Reagan and Meese.
I won't miss the west/left coast.
