While I have been to Seattle, as well as I was born and raised 'just North' of Seattle (in Vancouver, B.C.) I gotta say that it sure is a nice area. Lot of potential for a lot of prospective businesses and entertainment ventures.
But 'the people' there, whom are amassed into this "whatever-it-is" is DEFINITELY the problem.
They are sleeping in the beds that they've made. I know that there are a few members here who are in/from that 'area'. I also know that NOT EVERYONE who is in that area is a 'bad entity'. (I hesitate to even call them 'people') What the answer is, I'm not sure. I know for a fact though, that there are NO Federal answers.
Other than "NO". And maybe "you're on your own,,,,, this is on YOU".
Same/same for that Mayor in Minneapolis, or Wisconsin, or wherever 'it' is asking for help to clean up his own mess.
"The Joker" had it exactly right, lo, these many years ago:
"This Town Needs An Enema!"
