  • Angela Poe Russell: Politicians' public safety promises falling flat in Seattle

    Angela Poe Russell: Politicians' public safety promises falling flat in Seattle
    Dec 18 2024

The suspended stop is located at 12th Avenue S. and Jackson Street in Seattle's Chinatown-International District. While it’s not known as the wealthy neighborhood, there are a lot of hard working people there, small businesses and senior citizens.
