From The Seattle Times ‘ Gene Balk:
“A ban on camping in parks and within 250 feet of playgrounds and schools also drew massive support (79%), paired with a requirement that the city clear such encampments within 72 hours.”
More transitional shelter makes street rare and brief and also ensures our public spaces are accessible and available for everyone’s enjoyment.
Our are the most desirable, successful, and affordable alternative to tents and encampments, when offered with supportive services, and we’ve built nearly 800 of them right here in Seattle. We’re ready to work with any nonprofit or government interested in expanding tiny home villages with services.

The most striking finding in a new poll on public safety is a near-unanimous demand for a larger police footprint in struggling Seattle neighborhoods, FYI Guy writes.
