King County allowed KIRO 7 to see part of the SODO Services Hub, where there are plans to increase the 270-bed shelter’s capacity by 150 more beds.
KIRO 7 has been covering the objections of people who live and work around the Chinatown-International District to the shelter’s expansion. Just last week, more than 100 people protested against the expansion when they marched into a King County Council meeting.
The shelter is enhanced with services and space for 270 people and has services and counseling available. It is equipped with 43 bathrooms.There was also an area built with pallet shelters to attract people camping outside, along with a behavioral health center. King County’s community and human services director bristled Monday when he was asked where all the people who will eventually be treated at the shelter, will come from.
