and WSDOT have faced criticisms for not doing more to manage encampments along the shoulders of highways, underpasses, and inside the cloverleaf of interchanges.
The Department of Commerce contracted with Just Care, a Seattle-based homeless outreach group, to get people out of the tents and into temporary housing. Four of the five people accepted temporary housing provided by the King County Regional Homelessness Authority . The fifth left on their own to find another place to stay.
At the same time, King County Executive Dow Constantine announced the opening of hotel in North Seattle to house people living unsheltered. Prior to the pandemic, the people at the Red Lion had been staying at DESC shelter across the street from the King County Courthouse. It was a congregate shelter that featured bunk beds in large rooms, and often was a source of many police department responses.
