'You should have known better': Lake City resident challenges Seattle Council president on Fred Meyer shutdown

When Seattle City Council President Sara Nelson revealed she did not know the Fred Meyer in Lake City was in danger of shutting down during a news conference last week, a passerby who happened to be a nearby resident challenged her, calling it "a failure that you didn’t know that was going to happen." "That's an outrageous statement," the passerby, a local resident named Jonathan, said during her press conference. "You should have known better, and this is far too late. I think that's an outrageous statement to make, and that's why I walked over here, and I had to pass drug users. I passed a man with a needle out in his hand."
