One week ago, bullets blasted through the wall of a Greenwood neighborhood home and passed within inches of a window where a six-week-old baby boy was sleeping in his bassinet.
Saturday morning, roughly 40 shell casings were on the pavement near Aurora Avenue N. and N. 98th Street in Seattle after another shootout near the Burgermaster.
By daylight, the neighbors had had enough.
Residents along Seattle’s North Aurora corridor stopped waiting on City Hall. They hauled in large industrial steel planters and blocked off three residential side streets at N. 97th, 98th, and 102nd Streets near where they meet Aurora Avenue N. Neighbors said a representative from the mayor’s office and the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) came out to push back. They were waved off.
“We’re honestly not thinking long term right now,” one neighbor said, asking not to be identified out of fear of retribution from pimps and dealers operating along the Aurora Avenue corridor.
“We’re sick of this,” he added, citing a lack of action from city leaders. “We’re going to close the streets.” …
Organizers attached a letter to each of the planters. Its message was direct.
“For more than three years, many of us have been engaging almost daily with city officials, law enforcement, SDOT, and other local agencies to find both immediate and long-term solutions,” the letter read. “Homes have been hit by gunfire, narrowly missing children. Our military veterans, thinking they’d found a peaceful neighborhood, are now suffering from PTSD.”
The letter notes that after last summer’s Aurora Avenue shootout, which drew national attention, SDOT agreed to close two residential streets at Aurora and planned to close several more. That order never came from the mayor’s office. The gun violence moved deeper into the Seattle neighborhood instead.

Left wing ideology is deadly. Its an ‘infecting disease’ that kills slowly over time. It sounded all bubbly and happy when your left wing city leaders were running for office …’oh the poor justice impacted individuals…let them roam freely’ and your moron left wing voters were happy about it and voted for it. Well, now that ‘bubbly and happy’ left wing ideology is doing what it always does, its killing your community and trying to kill you.
