Dori: Heroin addicts of King County can rejoice after primary

Heroin addicts can rejoice after Tuesday night’s primary in King County and Seattle.

The voters of Seattle said, “Eh, we’re good with the status quo of the city council.”

Seattle is dying, people see the drugs, the crime, the homelessness crisis being exploited for more tax dollars.

And what do they do? They elect more of the same.

Kshama Sawant is leading in her district. Lisa Herbold is leading in West Seattle. Debora Juarez is leading in North Seattle — and is also probably glad the Seattle Public Library levy is passing so that she doesn’t have to return her books on time.

On that note, thanks to soon-to-be-jacked-up property taxes, deadbeats will no longer have to pay late book fines, because who would vote against a library? I know, the downtown branch’s cushions are soaked with urine and the bathrooms are filled with needles. But that’s okay — they deserve more money.

And the post-primary good news for the heroin addicts gets better — the King County Parks levy passed. As we told you last week, almost every park that has a homeless encampment is littered with heroin needles. The parks department doesn’t have enough money or manpower to keep the parks drug-free, but they want money to buy more rural park space. That way, the heroin addicts will have even more places to sleep and use drugs.

You can see all the election results here.

Of course, in this region, nobody says no to parks, nobody says no to libraries, and nobody says no to an incumbent Democrat.

Tuesday night was a great night for the heroin addicts of Seattle and King County.
