That was true for certain Seattle factions that were shocked by the telling of facts as they were, and continue to be to this day.
KIRO’s John Curley interviewed Eric Johnson, former KOMO News anchor concerning the explosive documentary. The response from some in city government and local agencies wasn’t what he expected.
“I didn’t really realize that the forces would line up to push me down, to shut me up, to quell whatever this thing is that I had opened up,” he said.

“Seattle Is Dying” is a 2019 hour-long documentary-style special report produced and narrated by longtime KOMO News anchor/reporter Eric Johnson for KOMO-TV.
Johnson examines the intertwined crises of homelessness, open drug use (especially opioids and heroin), mental illness, property crime, and public disorder in Seattle. Through on-the-street footage, interviews with police officers (some speaking anonymously), business owners, residents, addicts, and experts, the report portrays a city “rotting from within” due to visible decay: tent encampments, needles, human waste, theft, and unsafe public spaces that deter families and tourists.

Truth is-- You can put a fork into Seattle tourism. The downtown area is dangerous and business is moving away due to crime and taxes. Seattle has a communist mayor and left-wing voters who believe mainstream media talking points/lies. Seattle is toast!
