It sounds like the local Meth heads have been getting more bold and escalating there crimes due to lack of enforcement.
One thing is true, they seem to enforce the Discover pass good enough.
I have been to the high bridge launch a few times in the past few years and have been ticketed for no discover pass.
I have also ran into a vehicle break in at the Sultan launch. Walking to my truck, a mid 90's red lifted Chevy truck came screaming out of the parking spot next to my truck, I did not know at the time but the trucks next to mine had the back windows busted out, mine was next.
If there were a crime wave targeting the gay community I guarantee this would become a priority from the Governor on down!
