Do not click links, reply or open attachments unless you know the content is safe. King County should stay in their lane and let a non profit operate the shelters. The homeless have special need and need resources that they’re most likely not getting at the hotel. What if the solution is not to just transfer people to a vacant hotel, but instead to a center that has mental health workers, doctors, and staff who can manage people with mental issues, addictions, etc? Seems this Red Lion experiment was doomed from the start. This one in Renton has been a disaster for the local businesses that near this location. They’re dealing with covid restrictions and a homeless problem. I think a good non profit that knows the needs of the population would handle it better.
