Ending Homelessness Sweeps in Seattle
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan Seattle City Council President Lorena González Seattle City Councilmembers Lisa Herbold, Debora Juarez, Andrew Lewis, Tammy Morales, Teresa Mosqueda, Alex Pedersen, Kshama Sawant, Dan Strauss Seattle City Hall 600 4th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98104 June 2, 2020 Dear Mayor Durkan and Members of the Seattle City Council: COVID-19 has left our city, our community, and our families in an extremely vulnerable situation. While we know our city government has been stretched in every direction to address a growing number of concerns in this unprecedented time, we are writing to you because we feel that needs of our unhoused community have been severely overlooked. Over the last few weeks, the City has removed people in encampments in Ballard and the Chinatown/International District against explicit guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that such actions increase potential for an infectious disease to spread and separate people from their connections to care. Moving people from neighborhood to neighborhood or from location to location within a neighborhood, without resources or better places to go, simply does not address the homelessness or public health crisis at hand. Now more than ever we need real solutions to respond to the unmet needs of our community. In order to preserve the public health and safety of both housed residents and those experiencing homelessness during a pandemic, the City must urgently and proactively provide resources ranging from short-term solutions (like sanitation stations, access to public bathrooms, and clean water) to interim solutions (like organized tent camps or tiny home villages) to longer term housing solutions (like individual hotel rooms and apartments).

May 17, 2021 Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Seattle City Council 600
May 17, 2021 Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Seattle City Council 600 Fourth Avenue Seattle, WA 98104 Dear Councilmember Mosqueda: We write to you today to urge you and your colleagues on the Seattle City Council to dedicate a majority of the new revenue flowing into the General Fund – both from local tax sources and from federal dollars allocated to the City of Seattle in the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) – to impactful investments to address the continuing and growing crisis of people living unsheltered in our city. In addition to the tragic human loss caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic impact to families and individuals, businesses, non-profits, and governments has in some cases been unprecedented. We recognize that as a result, the Council is balancing the needs of many interests competing for limited public resources. Placing one priority in front of others is a difficult decision and should only be made if that priority is a city-wide issue impacting the most vulnerable in our community. Unsheltered homelessness clearly meets this test. Five and a half years ago, the City of Seattle and King County formally declared a state of civil emergency for homelessness. One of the stated objectives of the civil emergency order was to request additional federal and state assistance to address homelessness. While this was not the anticipated route by which state and federal assistance would be granted to the City of Seattle, ARPA and the recently adopted state budget allocate state and federal funding to the City’s General Fund at an amount we have not seen in a generation.

` 2019 Seattle Subway General Election Endorsements We're
` 2019 Seattle Subway General Election Endorsements We’re excited to announce our 2019 general election endorsements. It was great to see so many of the candidates we endorsed in the primary make it to the general election. Seattle Subway focuses on candidates who we feel will best represent environmental values and stand up for progress on transit and land use issues. To select candidates, we try to take in as much information as possible. Their resumes, voting records, performance in forums such as the MASS forums we co-hosted, and their responses to our candidate questionnaires. We reconsider our endorsements going into the general, endorsements are a process and we learn more about the candidates as the races progress. In the general election, we are expanding our endorsements to include key races across King County and initiatives at the state level. Unlike the primary, we will endorse in every city council race because one of the candidates will hold office and is, invariably, at least a little better than the other on the issues we care about. Our general election endorsements: State Initiatives Initiative 976: Limits on Motor Vehicle Taxes and Fees Vote No Sure, Tim Eyman is a thief and a fraud but his initiatives are also terrible. His latest attempt to defund transportation progress across Washington State would mean massive cuts to ST3 as well as voter approved projects across the state. Eyman doesn’t care how much damage he does to infrastructure in general if he can also do damage to transit expansion. It would be great if this was the last time we ever had to mention him.

Joint City Parks & Public Space Letter
October 26, 2020 To: Mayor Jenny Durkan Council President González Councilmember Lisa Herbold Councilmember Debora Juarez Councilmember Andrew Lewis Councilmember Tammy Morales Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda Councilmember Alex Pedersen Councilmember Kshama Sawant Councilmember Dan Strauss Cc: Seattle Parks & Recreation Superintendent Jesús Aguirre Seattle Human Services Department Interim Director Jason Johnson Seattle Police Department Interim Chief Adrian Diaz Seattle Department of Transportation Director Sam Zimbabwe Seattle Department of Planning and Community Development Director Sam Assefa Seattle Public Utilities General Manager & CEO Mami Hara Seattle Office of Economic Development Director Bobby Lee Seattle Department of Neighborhoods Director Andrés Mantilla Seattle City Attorney, Peter Holmes Seattle Board of Park Commissioners Seattle Park District Oversight Committee Dear Mayor Durkan and Seattle City Councilmembers, Our parks and public spaces are vital to the health and well-being of everyone in our city. Years of investment and planning have gone into making our urban outdoor spaces as safe and welcoming as possible for all. Unfortunately, the parks and public spaces in our city are experiencing a spiraling public health and public safety crisis that requires urgent action. Now more than ever, safe, welcoming city parks and playgrounds are essential to the physical and mental health of Seattle residents — many of whom don’t have outdoor space of their own or are now responsible for daytime activities with their children. Because of COVID-19, regular maintenance, programming and events in these parks have been suspended, leaving them without critical management or the usual anchor of positive social activity. Consequently, our parks and public spaces have become dangerous and chaotic — exactly the opposite of what people need at this moment.
