“We still don’t have any beds, we don’t have any resources, we don’t have any spots that’s been allotted by the city,” said Tidholm.
Mayor Aragon said she feels frustrated too. She also said while there’s no answer today, they are working on some solutions. But those solutions are still a few years out.
“Last night we talked about there might be some parcels of land that are close that there may be a shelter developed. There’s a local church that might be willing to look at converting and expanding their space to accommodate a shelter but we just need to hear what those plans are,” said Mayor Aragon.
Mayor Aragon also said the city has approved four models but those projects are years away as well. The city council member who told the campers to go to Dottie Harper also told KIRO 7 she plans to ask the council to accept $1 million from the county to move forward with using a city-owned lot for an encampment. The city also said the no camping ordinance requires people to tear down their tents, but they’re still allowed to be in the park until it closes.
