In the mayoral race, Wilson and Harrell diverged greatly on a number of issues, starting with homelessness policy. Wilson was sharply critical of Harrell’s track record, including his unprecedented scaling up of homeless encampment removals. As Bolts reported last month, Seattle conducted more sweeps under Harrell than under his four mayoral predecessors combined.
Wilson told Bolts she’d curb these sweeps and pledged to roll out 4,000 new units of shelter over her first term.
I’ve lived in CO, UT and AZ. All 3 send their homeless N and to the W. Would only be a matter of time that they end up in the PNW.
