Advocates for the Chinatown-International District (CID) are asking the City of Seattle and King County for millions of dollars to address public safety concerns. Pink Gorilla Games, a video game store that's been in the heart of CID for 17 years, has recently been hit with crime. The latest incident happened on Monday evening. “Someone came in and pretended to go shopping, made a significant pile on the counter of things they intended to buy, then pulled out a gun and demanded other items including cash from the register and collectible cards,” said owner Cody Spencer. The robbery was one of the latest examples of why advocates in the district marched Tuesday and are asking officials to invest in the community as they work through next year’s budget. Advocates for the CID are asking for more than $4 million dollars of the mayor’s proposed $88 million for the King County Regional Homelessness Authority and asking King County Council for $20 million.
