We want to talk about homelessness in Washington, discuss your thoughts on our stories, and drink some good coffee.
The Seattle Times’ Project Homeless would love to have you over for coffee. Our project has been around over a year now, and we’d like to talk about what we’ve written, hear what you think, and chat about what we’re writing.
The Seattle Times’ Project Homeless is funded by BECU, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Campion Foundation, Raikes Foundation, Seattle Foundation, Seattle Mariners, Starbucks and the University of Washington. The Seattle Times maintains editorial control over Project Homeless content.
