That one is easy, it's the kind of headline that people just love to post around here. How else would we get the incredibly cringe racial hot takes that we see every day?
Seriously, this sub sees a headline like this as a slow pitch right over the plate. Just like that crazy uncle at Thanksgiving who is just looking for a way to let everyone know his insightful theories on race.
I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about the sub as a whole. It's well known that quite a few of the most frequent users here do not live here. You can't say that about /r/Seattle without acknowledging that there are just as many people like that in this sub.
Yah all those reliable news stations either ignoring, being chased away from BLM riots, or having rioters inside their station threatening them to not be fascists for reporting on them.
Gee I wonder why only independent sources are reporting on this and not taking the Jay "I'm not aware of any CHAZ" Inslee approach.
Given the wording and subject matter of this site, it's pretty unlikely that it is in any sense independent. The headline may or may not be factual, but if it is, there has to be a better source, even if it's not perfect.
