What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed an RV permit program that the Seattle City Council passed in October. The original program allowed people to live in their RVs if they followed city laws and joined shelter waitlists. Instead, Wilson announced Executive Order 2026-09, which expands outreach and deploys funding to open RV safe lots in West Seattle and plan a second lot.
