Mayor Durkan, police and fire dept. leaders walk through the West Seattle Junction to talk about crime, homelessness and neighborhood concerns
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan, joined by Assistant Chief of Police Deanna Nolette and Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scroggins came to the West Seattle Junction on Friday Oct. 25 to shake hands and answer questions about public safety and other issues in the community. With stops at Husky Deli, Cupcake Royale and West 5 restaurant the city leaders were there in person in response to a letter that 160 business owners and business districts signed, that plus the potential funding cuts to the Navigation Team the council wishes to make.
The seven-page letter addressed to the council said that “the criminal justice system must work for all of us, but today it fails everyone.”
