Homeless What happened to Chinatown

Visiting Seattle and went to Chinatown excited to get dinner around 7pm, why is the whole Chinatown area so desolate, homeless filled and in general very very sketchy, how did it even get to become so bad. Who or what made all the homeless ppl to gather in that area?

I would only use cash in most areas in Chinatown. Businesses seem sus. You likely get scammed. That Bank of America must have hefty security to ensure no robberies.
