Seattle police to dedicate 6 officers along Third Avenue in downtown
Mayor Bruce Harrell was joined by a number of city and regional law enforcement officials Friday to discuss how Seattle and its partners are working to address surging crime in downtown.
The news conference comes at the end of a violent and chaotic week at Third Avenue near Pike Street in the city’s retail core and just a couple weeks after Seattle police launched a mobile precinct to address rising crime at 12th Avenue and Jackson Street.
On Friday, Harrell reiterated his vision of “One Seattle” and explained how the city is looking to not only arrest criminals in downtown but also help those dealing with drug addiction, homelessness and other issues.
“I know people out here that are unsafe. I know people here doing bad things. And it is my love for all people out here in our city to keep them safe,” Harrell said.
