Businesses around the stadiums are ramping up their operations to prepare for baseball crowds, according to Pioneer Alliance Executive Director Lisa Howard. Despite the surge in business around the stadium events, Pioneer Square businesses are still fighting familiar battles over public safety issues. Public drug use near the entrances to the Pioneer Square light rail station is frequent and businesses report concerns with people who are under the influence or in a mental health crisis.On Tuesday, the Alliance's community development director Chase Woodward told the Seattle City Council that safety issues are costing businesses money.
Woodward read a letter from an event venue owner who told the Alliance that a client chose another location due to perceived safety concerns in Pioneer Square.Councilmember Bob Kettle, who chairs the city's public safety committee, said he wanted to meet with the Alliance and Pioneer Square business owners to discuss a path forward.
