Organized crime group targeting people walking in Redmond

[thechatch]

I don't normall defend Microsoft, but this isn't their fault. Redmond has a left wing nutjob Mayor and a fully woke city council. It's been getting bad there for the last 5 years or so. Their genius next move is they are secretly allowing a low income housing complex to be built right next to the new light trail station. This will become a highway of drug dealing and criminality. It was always going to be a hard sell to get Eastsiders out of their cars and onto public transportation. Conditions needed to be perfect to even have a chance of hitting 50% of their projected passengers. It's a given that light rail will be a total failure now on the Eastside.

This is also happening in NE Bellevue off of the 124th 520 exit. All those folks living in Bridle Trails and Pikes Peak are getting new neighbors!

Oh no, my friend. They are going to be living much closer to you than that. King County quietly bought the La Quinta in Kirkland right off Bellevue Way/Lk WA Blvd.

Oh we’re aware. A bunch of people in CH have been talking about private security patrol for awhile now. Folks in YP are already going that route at least that’s what I’d heard.

That property isn’t next door to Chinook/CH Elementary, but it isn’t exactly a day’s walk either. People are pissed.

looking forward to that BurgerMaster closing its doors within 2 years….

I’m telling you right now that parts of Bellevue are unrecognizable from 10 years ago.
It’s crazy. We have friends in Bridle Trails who want to move to Sammamish because their neighborhood has changed so much.
Microsoft basically imported an entire generation of foreign workers and N.E. Bellevue/Redmond has totally transformed in the span of a decade.

You sound bothered by the change and what caused it.

Is all change good?
