As King County moves to reopen Kent hotel for the unhoused, asylum-seekers hope they won’t be forgotten
King County is in the process of reopening a shuttered Econo Lodge hotel in Kent, once used to shelter unhoused people during the pandemic. But the asylum-seekers who have camped next to the hotel for several months are unlikely to benefit from its doors reopening. Instead, it’ll likely be prioritized for people passing through the King County Regional Homeless Authority’s re-housing program. But that’s if the county successfully navigates the six-month permitting and funding process. Meanwhile, the county expects an upcoming state migrant program to help house asylum-seekers before the hotel is operational. That’s according to an update from the King County Executive Office, read to asylum-seekers by county councilmember Girmay Zahilay at council chambers Tuesday. “Millions of dollars have been invested and families have been relocated, and of course, not quickly enough,” Zahilay said. “And enough hasn’t happened but we continue to be committed to this issue and we thank you for coming here to make your voice heard about this really important topic.”

Mariners' Collin Snider: Snags third win Friday
