Sometimes I can see how things might seem like a good idea at the time… other times, not so much.
Something has to be done with the Safeway and the surrounding area. Every time I read the police blogger, there is always something happening in that area. Not a nice place for sometime. Are there changes coming soon?
I live near “The Dangerous Safeway”, as I like to refer to it. That whole stretch of 99 has well-known issues, with habitual drug users and criminals hanging around. The police do what they can — I see them in the Safeway lot frequently — but really, as long as these people are frequenting the area, there will continue to be problems. I think, though I’m not sure, that some of them migrated north after Shoreline fixed up their stretch of 99 over the past several years.
