Like Many U.S. Cities, Seattle Struggles With Crime And Homelessness During Pandemic Era
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON - MARCH 13: Andrea Suarez tries to talk a homeless man, 24, out of injecting methamphetamine on March 13, 2022 in Seattle, Washington. Widespread drug addiction is endemic in Seattle's large homeless community, which the city is currently trying to move out from shared public spaces like sidewalks and parks. Suarez is the executive director of the non-profit We Heart Seattle, which stages trash cleanups, often at Seattle's many homeless encampments. (Photo by John Moore/Getty Images)
