🚨New Drop🚨 The Spin: Seattle mayor’s office uses carefully worded statement after questions about gun violence plan mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-…

"It looks like a zombie bite ... I can't believe she bit a piece of my face off." A downtown Seattle worker was on a break on a Friday afternoon, and was randomly attacked by a mentally disturbed individual. After screaming slurs, the attacker began physically assaulting the victim and bit a "chunk" out of the victim's forehead like a zombie from The Walking Dead. It happened just a couple blocks away from where another mentally disturbed individual blinded a 75 yr old woman with a 'spiked board', also a random attack. These attacks are shocking, but not surprising. Washington state has made the choice to leave violent, mentally ill individuals to walk the streets, and the results speak for themselves. @TyCunningtonTV | @komonews 'Attacker bites chunk out of woman’s face in downtown Seattle hate crime' Article: komonews.com/news/local/hate…

7301 Delridge Way SW; caller is at AM/PM saying that someone is deceased nearby.

Yesterday, there was a shooting two blocks away from the entrance to the gated community known as The Highlands.

Every time you fill up your gas tank in Washington, you're paying for the Climate Commitment Act — roughly 43 cents more per gallon. Gee and Ursula aren't arguing against reducing pollution. They're asking a simple question: where are the results?

"It looks like a zombie bite ... I can't believe she bit a piece of my face off." The victim of a random attack in downtown Seattle spoke with @TyCunningtonTV last night. She was on a break from work when a stranger bit a chunk of her forehead off. komonews.com/news/local/hate…

Sound Transit is still short untold tens of billions of dollars, and is beginning to hint that they will need "more state and federal funding, as well as other financing options" to finish even their stalled and dialed back plans for ST3. We know they were attempting to get a bill passed this year to allow them to take out 75 year bonds, and the federal dollars are hit or miss. But we've also heard rumors from a reputable source that ST4 is already in the works. And that should worry absolutely everyone in Puget Sound. @tyrahmajors | @KIRO7Seattle 'Sound Transit faces funding gap for Everett extension'

Gas is expensive. Gas is much more expensive in Washington state, due to our gas and climate taxes. All for the 3rd worst roads in the nation. @komonews 'Seattle gas prices continue to rise; now $1.25 higher than national average' Article: komonews.com/news/local/seat…

On this Future 42 Gas Price Friday... The Gas Price Average has leveled off in Washington ($5.55) state and Nationally ($4.48). Diesel is a (painful) $7.46 a gal in WA state, the second highest behind only California which is headed towards the $9 a gal range due to their own war on fuel. Governor Ferguson gloated this week about enjoining our carbon market with Quebec's and California's, which means he has no intentions on ever ending what has become a $5 Billion slush fund for Olympia Democrats. Washington state gasoline taxes: $0.96 per gallon WA vs Nation Average: +$1.07 Roads Condition Rank: 48th Gas Price Rank: 3rd highest WA State fuel tax breakdown per gallon WA Gas Tax: $0.565 WA Carbon Tax: $0.32 WA Hazard Tax: $0.04 WA Low Carbon Fuel Tax: $0.04 Source: AAA

"How can people believe what your administration has to say?" That^ is Fox13's Dan Griffin, after Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson ran away from accountability...again. So did her Deputy Mayor Brian Surratt, when asked to respond to accusations he ordered SPD not to inform the public about whether there was an active shooter or not. (At some point @MayorofSeattle , that elevator door is not going to close, and you will have to answer to the 4th estate for your actions and dishonesty.)

A Sound Transit project ahead of schedule? Believe it. @newsguysully tells us the Pinehurst Station at 130th opens Sept. 30—five years earlier than originally planned. It fills the gap between Northgate and Shoreline South. #chokepoints

Seattle Mayor Wilson claimed her 'Gun Violence Prevention Plan' was endorsed by King County Prosecutor Leesa Manion. Except that turns out to be a lie. "KCPAO spokesperson Casey McNerthney said the office was not given a full copy of the plan before its rollout, and that Prosecuting Attorney Leesa Manion and her staff first learned about it by watching the announcement on television. ...The mayor’s office later told KIRO Newsradio KCPAO had provided quotes supporting the plan when KCPAO said they did not." What actually happened was Community Assisted Response and Engagement Chief Amy Barden asked King County Prosecutor Manion for a quote endorsing CARE. "Manion agreed with the stipulation that her quote not be edited and be shared in full." CARE Chief Barden then gave Manion's quote about CARE to the Mayor's Office, who then used it as an endorsement of Wilson's entire gun violence plan: See for yourself here: wilson.seattle.gov/2026/09/1… As if that wasn't bad enough; the Mayor also claimed to have the support of the US Attorney's Office. That too turned out to be a lie with the office saying: “The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not get a draft of the plan in advance, nor were we asked to provide a quote.” Future 42 has seen (and exposed) a lot of corruption and dishonesty in our state and local governments, but this is unreal. @LukeKIRO | @KIRONewsradio 'KIRO finds Seattle Mayor’s Office misrepresented prosecutor support for gun violence plan' mynorthwest.com/mynorthwest-…

"Basic, rudimentary technology available; we’re talking WW II era technology" NEW: @CMRobSaka says the lack of public security cameras at @seattlecenter is "pathetic". He says it's an easy fix identified by after-action reviews from the Bite of Seattle. komonews.com/news/local/seat…

And then there were 7... There were a couple dozen just a few years ago.

Seattle Mayor's Public Safety Director Alison Holcomb ran away from KOMO's Jeremy Harris after Tuesday's Public Committee Hearing, where it came out that the Mayor lied about who delayed information to the public after the Bite. Hard to fault her, since it seems to be the Mayor's favorite tactic to avoid accountability from the media. More importantly though; Jeremy Harris does a great job of further explaining "why it matters": "Up to this point, much of the blame has been placed on Seattle police for not giving out those critical updates. What we now know, it was in fact the Mayor's second in command who ordered police to not get in front of TV cameras and start giving updates to the public about what was going on." Had Mayor Katie Wilson been truthful from the beginning, we'd probably all be praising her new budget proposal today. Instead, we are once again calling for her resignation.

"The reason why we keep pressing on this issue is because its about truth, and its about the bigger overall question about transparency." -Fox13's Hana Kim, on the revelation that Mayor Katie Wilson lied about the response to the Bite Shooting. In testimony to the Seattle Council's Public Safety Committee, SPD Chief Tyrone Davis (who was in charge of the scene) laid out exactly what happened including how Deputy Mayor Brian Surratt would not allow him to inform the public what was happening, just 90 minutes after the shooting. He testified: "We were ready to go, and I was getting ready to walk [down to the waiting press]. I told the Deputy Mayor as a courtesy...and I was told we need to wait for the Mayor. I gave him alternatives, the first was that we do the presser now...and the press conference the next morning. I was still told to wait. I offered a second alternative which is that we do the presser now, and then maybe do one when the Mayor gets here...and I was also asked to wait." As Hana Kim explains; "That statement is significant because it contradicts what the Mayor said back in July." Making matters worse for Mayor Katie Wilson is the news that broke today, that she also lied about her 'gun violence prevention plan' having the backing of the King County Prosecutor and the US. Attorney for the Western District. But that is a post for later.. (By the way, did you know there is a petition out calling for Katie Wilson to resign? You can find it right here: mailchi.mp/changewashington.…) @hanamkim | @LaurenDonovanTV | Dan Griffin 'Seattle deputy mayor blamed for 5-hour delay in Bite of Seattle briefing' Article: fox13seattle.com/news/seattl…

The King County Prosecutor and U.S. Attorney both say they never saw Mayor Katie Wilson's gun violence plan before it was announced and learned about it on TV. The prosecutor's quote was used to endorse a plan she says she never reviewed.

This weekend, police across the Northwest will be doing "one more stop" emphasis patrols in honor of @wastatepatrol trooper Christopher Gadd. Gadd told a colleague he wanted to do one more stop before going on break. He was then killed by a drunk driver who was going 112mph down the shoulder of I-5. @komonews

👀 COMMENTARY [@NateNehring]: Helping people escape addiction is not the same as handing out the tools to keep using. Snohomish County tax dollars should fund treatment, recovery, and sobriety—not syringes, pipes, foil, and spoons. lynnwoodtimes.com/2026/09/23…
