It was a bright sunny 2019 June afternoon when I picked up my daughter from her high school located just off of Aurora Ave. North. As we made our way home we stopped at the red light on 125th and Aurora where a very young women crossed the street in the crosswalk. This isn't unusual except for the fact that she wasn't wearing any pants or underwear. Fast forward to 2023 where the above mentioned situation is now considered not only normal but condoned by the city of Seattle administration.
Prostitution, drug dealing and open fencing of stolen merchandise is now prevalent all hours of the day and night from 85th all the way to 145th on Aurora. This activity impacts school children at Cascadia Elementary School, Broadview Thomson K-8 school and Ingram High School.
This is an example of the Boiling Frog Effect where if you slowly turn up the illicit activity the people don't really notice. They just drive by in their cars as very young women are trafficked right in front of their faces.
My efforts to stop the illicit activity has resulted in warnings that the traffickers will come after me to the police will arrest me for harassing the prostitutes .
My calls and emails to our Mayor asking for a solution have went unanswered. Our
Seattle School District should be working to stop these crimes
from happening so close to our schools but the school board insist on taking
no action.
The Seattle Police responded ,
"The Seattle City Council repealed the Prostitution Loitering ordinance a couple of years ago. The City also adopted the harm reduction model which identifies the workers as victims and discourages enforcement. The City has contracted with social service agencies to conduct outreach and assist the workers out of the situation.
The Police Department conducts stings to arrest the customers a couple of times per month but it has no impact on the workers. We are also attempting to identify the employers and take enforcement action but it is difficult as the workers had no incentive to turn them in.
Thank you

"Prosecutors allege the suspects kept the 18-year-old victim in the Mount Baker neighborhood, transported her and a 21-year-old woman to Aurora Avenue and hotels for sex work, and took any money she earned."
