'It's unbearable': Seattle residents upset over loud music playing from Ross store

Seattle is a daycare center with no adults in the room.

Just a few blocks away there is abandoned storefront/ parking garage that uses outdoor speakers to play classical music and if I'm not mistaken it may be on motion detectors. There are no tents or loitering foil heads around that block!

Keeps the vagrants, homeless, and drug users from setting their tents up on the sidewalk and loitering. It's genius.

I could be wrong, but with the right speakers or soundsystem, they can direct the sound towards the sidewalk but still keep it at a tolerable level for residence. Maybe hire an audio tech with an understanding in physics and sound

You can't blame Ross for trying to do something about the the dozens of open drug users right in front of their store. At night it might be more than a hundred drug users at a time. I get that the music is a nuisance for the residents and I would be upset too. However, I would be upset at the rampant open drug use and how its getting worse, not better. You are right in front of this human misery with people suffering beyond belief while living in the richest country in the world and living in one of the most expensive cities in the world. You pay over $2,000 a month for a 1 bed room and a block away you have people overdoing everyday from a drug of which a dose costs less than an apple at the nearby Whole Foods you go for groceries. Very bizarre that not a single person interviewed in this report even talked about this unless of course it was edited out.

The same people would complain when the music is gone and the homeless druggies come back to the area. Can't please everyone.

Funny, they tolerate homeless zombies but not loud music that keeps the zombies away.

Sounds like a new karaoke spot, happy hour anyone?

Oh, the music forced them out? It wasn't that complete lawlessness and nonsense that is allowed to continue because we feel bad to arrest and prosecute criminals?

Funny how the Seattle city council can lobby the train companies to stop blowing their train horns in the city but can’t stop Ross from playing loud music …. Go figure

Seattle City Council needs to step up and pass ordinances to alleviate both the noise problem and the loitering problem and allow law enforcement to do their job. This would be a win in so many ways.

Music or the fentanyl junkies 🤔

If the noise keeps away the homeless drug addicts, then it's working the way it's supposed to. But maybe Ross should just put Yoko Ono music on the speakers. That would really do the job.

You know what might be nice in a news story? Telling us why they are playing the music... like what is the deal? I have an idea, but a news story should explain a situation and not assume everyone already knows what's up.

Isn’t there such a thing as lawful quiet hours after 11 p.m.?

You have the sketchy folks to thank for this b/c its why Ross plays that odious loud music.

I wonder why Ross blasts the music? The story strangely fails to address the why.

They should at least take requests.

Demand that Mayor Harrell and the City Council members stand outside of Ross and demand that they change the ordinance accordingly. These elected officials are being paid to do a job for public safety and they need to be held accountable for their failures.

Wow with everything going wrong in Seattle.. I never would guess this to be a priority.🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
