Nice try. Worked and lived there for over 20 years before retiring here. Still have family and friends there. Still visit them frequently.
If you're going to try and make a point, try to know the geography a little better. The statistics you refer to are for the Capital Hill area of Seattle, not the entire city. It is, however, the area where the autonomous zone was established.
You may be able to make a point about year over year crime but look at the 5 and 10 year trends. Some of the categories are up TRIPLE digits. There are NO reductions in any categories.
Again, Seattle suffers from poor liberal leadership. 8 of it's City Counsel members are liberals and the remaining 9th is a socialist. There is one potentially bright spot. The Republican running for City Attorney is being endorsed by two Democratic former governors. Her opponent is soft on crime and went on record celebrating those that set arson fires at a youth detention center. Unfortunately, the liberal will probably win.
