I was referring to syringes at so many parks. Everytime I brought family out, it was embarrassing.
I was close to the downtown cores of both Bellevue and kirkland. I'm sure there are pockets that are nice, but now imagine a significantly larger area where the problems are exceptions rather the the rule.
I feel so many people have Stockholm syndrome when it comes to the area.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoI lived just off main in Bellevue before moving to Ballard. The downtown park (< 5 minute walk) filled up all the time. I saw a syringe in Bellevue once though, not at a park but in a run down strip mall parking lot. I’ve never seen a syringe in bainbridge on any trip there with the kid (we often hop on the ferry in the summer). That being said, I bought a house/moved to Ballard because I wanted a more urban lifestyle for my kid (now kindergartener going to a SPS school). Bellevue is clean, but boring. These days, syringes are pretty much gone, as addicts have moved from heroin to fentanyl. I would be shocked if Toledo (and sylvania and the other suburbs I knew) was missing that somehow.
