George Nguyen owns the Lam Seafood Market in Seattle's Little Saigon neighborhood. Nguyen said the crime and drug use outside — and inside — his store has gotten so intense in recent months that he's had to put up a foreboding barbed wire fence near the entrance.
Now he worries the fence is driving away customers. "The last thing I wanted to do was make our neighborhood look like a prison yard," Nguyen said.
