It's not safe for kids to play in the parks there because of all the used needles laying around. People sleep on the streets all over. They steal bikes & camping stuff from places like REI all the time because they have a don't call the police policy. Tent cities everywhere. Others live in beat up RVs where they move around a few days at a time to avoid being towed. Lots of drug dealing & meth labs going on inside them. Seattle caters to them to attract more of them so they can claim there is a homeless crisis to get more money from the federal government.
