NEW: Chinatown-ID is fighting back and demanding more support and security from Seattle leaders. 
Monday morning, community activists will be holding a press conference at 10am in front of DESC's Navigation Center. This controversial "low barrier" homeless shelter is being blamed for attracting crime, chaos, and death to this neighborhood. That's because drug use is allowed and supplies are freely given out without any requirements for treatment. This past weekend a hoard of addicts overwhelmed the sidewalk right outside this facility, corroborating neighbor concerns. 
It was supposed to finally close by the end of January. But Mayor Bruce Harrell delayed the move until March, enraging neighbors and biz owners who have already sacrificed so much. 🧵👇
