Description

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.
