When you mention Seattle, most people think of a city that's modern and progressive, with beautiful nature, green spaces, mountains and lakes, the Space Needle. But there is an ugly side that has become a crisis - homelessness. Despite throwing millions of dollars at the problem it only continues to grow worse. Due to non-enforcement of drug laws, Seattle has become a mecca for drug users and dealers. Combine that with untreated mental illness, lack of affordable housing, and politicians who think the solution is more and more leniency to crime, and you have a recipe for disaster. This is a look at the dark side of a beautiful city.

Thank you for posting this. No one should waste their money and their precious vacation days coming to Seattle anymore. It was once a great city, but not anymore. I finally left 3 years ago - driven out by the lawlessness and it's only gotten worse since I left. Someone asked "then why is Seattle still growing?" Momentum. A lot of these buildings were planned a decade ago. Cancer grows too, but that doesn't mean it's a good thing.

I lived 13 years in Seattle in the 80's and 90s, it was a beautiful city. Lively vibrant exciting. Full of restaurants theater and other attractions. But not this. As you were driving you could feel the depression of the city. However, from the pictures, it's still not as bad as Sacramento CA. Just moved out of Sacramento and the homeless have spread out from the city proper to all neighboring cities as well. There's pretty much no where in a 30 mile radius that doesn't have homeless along the roads, under freeways, hiding along rivers, even out in the agriculture areas there's roads and roads of RVs and cars along with the tents.

True enough or maybe he had to keep everything he had with him all the time. But the city went from being one that I was so impressed with and praised its cleanliness when I spoke of my first visit to the complete opposite six years later. And I saw the same look of disappointment on every Seattlelite when I mentioned the difference. One person I met said that when the big companies arrived, all the prices went up. But it looks as if the money did not filter down and an entire section of society were suddenly homeless through no fault of theirs.

Lived here 25 years and trust me as realistic as these videos are, they are just a drop in the bucket . Here's what you need to understand : You could be living an a more rural part of town, maybe a mix of condos, and single family homes , maybe patches of apartments . Family friendly area near a school , you get the idea. You come out and there are derelict RV's back to back to back taking up all the parking . On the parking strip are tents, tarps , lean-to's . Piles of trash , drug gear, stolen bikes, lawnmowers , BBQ's , baby strollers . All the windows in the RV's are covered, many don't even run. Gas generators run at any hour night or day . You see obvious crime going on, chopping up bikes and cars drug use and sales , addicts either on the nod, pacing back and forth , passed out. People in obvious mental crisis screaming at the top of their lungs or attacking a tree for no reason. Some of this, sometimes ALL of this, and according to the laws of the city, there is NOTHING you can do. If you call the police they will tell you their hands are tied. Besides they are so understaffed there's nobody available if they could. There's literally no means to have them removed that doesn't take weeks, months, even years unless something SERIOUSLY dangerous happens. Now picture that in front of YOUR house or apartment. And this is going on all over town for the most part. Your local supermarket get shoplifted from dozens of times every single day . People with carts full of steaks and booze and whatever they want just walk right out because they know nothing will happen. Half the businesses you see have plywood covering broken windows .

I came to Seattle as an international student in 2015 and instantly love the city. Even homelessness has been a thing back then it was not at this crazy level. It is just so sad to see the streets I used to walk through like Capitol Hill or Downtown are swamped by drugs addicts like this. Was planning to visit Seattle and recommend it to my friends and family but I think I would not now.

We filmed this about a year and half ago. Some of these locations have been cleared and some not, but as soon as one is swept, another pops up somewhere else. It's so random and that's the hardest part. You can be walking down a normal looking street, turn the corner and there's a bunch of tents blocking the entire sidewalk so people have to walk in the street to get around them. Drug deals going down right on the corner of 3rd and Pike, cops standing there watching and do nothing because they know if they arrest them they will be back on the street next day. No prosecution of anything, theft, drugs, doesn't matter. If I were you I'd opt for Croatia without a second thought. Thanks for watching and commenting.

I was born in Seattle, and even though my work has taken me to places far from Seattle, my home has always been in Seattle. After 51 years I did what was once unthinkable... I moved. I live about 30 miles south and I only regret not moving sooner. People have commented about the crime in Seattle, but there is no crime in Seattle because of treasonous idiots like Kshama Sawant & Jenny Durkan have legalized everything. Well, there are no laws... unless you're an honest, taxpaying citizen with a job. What leads me to believe that the majority of the homeless in Seattle (as told to me by a homeless man who WORKED his way out of the gutter), don't want change, if anything they'd prefer to drag the rest of society with them. Look at the homeless encampments around Seattle that provide port-a-potties & dumpsters, there are mountains of trash and shit everywhere

This is so damn Tragic and it really pisses me off to see other people living this way, it’s definitely heartbreaking, and shameful on Society as a damn Whole..

Seattle promotes the belief that the homeless are victims of unaffordable housing. Well, Seattle has been buying up hotels and putting the homeless in them, so can we agree that for those in these hotels that affordable housing is no longer an issue? So with that out of the way, they're seeking gainful employment, right? No, because the problem has always been addiction, not affordable housing. Seattle leadership knows tax payers would be much less accommodating to having their pockets picked to support the homeless if Seattle promoted them as addicts, so they don't, they promote them as victims of affordable housing.

Its not just drugs , alot of those people are mentally ill!! And they cant help it, and its not right to just assume they re on drugs, and the ones that are on drugs is usually because they are suffering from cancer or a medical purpose . And people have donated hundred thousands of dollars to help the homeless, so why arent they doing so?? I think thats why they re all bringing their tents right downtown, so people can see they are still there , not getting the help they should . And who is behind it all ?? The mayor??

@@saralenagriffith6509 I attribute a lot of the mental illness to prolonged drug abuse. The city has decided to tolerate up to 3 grams of heroin, which means you will attract junkies from far and wide. I understand helping those that become homeless due to unfortunate circumstances, but I don't understand the tolerance of drug abuse.

That was the wrong move if you ask me, some of them need jail , so they can see a judge and the judge send them to treatment, because they arent going to volunteerily go to treatment. Before you know it this place is going to look like Philly. Look up on youtube "morals over money" thats how this place is going to be if they dont get a handle on it soon.

I was attacked on the bus by a homeless guy in October and I waited in the cold for over an hour for the police to show up but they never did. Tried calling the non emergency number the next day to report it as well but couldn't get through. What good is it if you can't report crime, bad enough when they can't enough show up to help you? I'm still shaken up from it. I have to go downtown for a couple of doctors appointments and I found myself mindlessly crying hoping no one attacks me again. And the recent election of Kshama Sawant feels like someone poured salt over that wound all over again. I will be moving my doctor's appointments to other cities and won't be stepping for in Seattle again. Not that I was going there much before.

Part of the problem is that the cost of housing is outrageous in Washington. A family of four with two people making decent money should be able to afford a house and yet here I am renting a moldy trailer on my parents property with the floor about to fall through. We work our asses off and we aren’t on drugs. Why is it so fu**ing expensive to get a house here?

It's 95% a drug issue. But instead of treating it as such, cities like Seattle keep throwing millions of dollars into housing projects for people who don't want to do anything but shoot up. That's why they prefer to live in tents on a sidewalk. They don't want a "home" and most of them refuse it when offered. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
