More than six years since Seattle declared a state of emergency for its growing homelessness crisis, the issue remains at the top of voters’ minds this November.
To prepare to cast a ballot, join The Seattle Times and We Are In for two nights of virtual debates on homelessness with candidates running for some of the most competitive races in Seattle and King County.
