Seattle city council member slams colleague for public safety issues in Chinatown

Seattle city council member Sara Nelson publicly criticized her colleague Tammy Morales during a press conference due to increasing public safety issues in her district’s Chinatown. Nelson’s criticism of Morales: Nelson expressed concerns about the dramatic increase in violence in south Seattle, particularly in the Chinatown-International District, at a rally in support of Tanya Woo, Morales’ opponent for the District 2 council seat. Nelson suggested that Morales should be voted out due to her failure in addressing the public safety issues in her district, including mass shootings, home invasion robberies and drug-related problems in the Little Saigon neighborhood.
