Seattle Hands Out the Needles. Then It Investigated the Woman Who Picked Them Up

Washington did not sue Andrea Suarez. After We Heart Seattle hauled roughly two million pounds of trash out of parks the city had given up on, Labor & Industries opened an inspection because an anonymous referral said volunteers were holding the needles wrong. The same needles and foil King County hands out. No named complainant. No stuck volunteer. One employee, a stack of forms, and a six-month safety file. A ban would have been honest. This is a tollbooth on the way to the dumpster.#WeHeartSeattle #AndreaSuarez #Seattle #Washington #Homelessness #HarmReduction #Needles #Fentanyl #BlueCities #GovernmentWaste #Volunteers #ParkCleanup
