About this episode
For years, Seattle’s Little Saigon neighborhood has been struggling with crime, public drug use, and concentrated homelessness. Little Saigon’s problems got worse during the pandemic, and it’s taking a toll on the community, especially neighborhood businesses. Now, there’s a grassroots effort up and running to make Little Saigon safer. It’s a project called Phố Đẹp . We visit the neighborhood to talk with Quynh Pham, Executive Director of Friends of Little Saigon . Link to apply for an e-bike voucher. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us.
