The ongoing crisis of homelessness is a delicate and nuanced situation. Regardless of how the person suffered housing loss, they did, and that alone, is a traumatic experience. 

The State’s  ‘RIght of Way Initiative’  is a partnership between Dept of Commerce, WADOT, KCRHA, and law enforcement to remove encampments from public rights of way. To date, the initiative has successfully closed four encampments in King County and are currently working in three others along public sidewalks, roads, overpasses, etc. 

So…What  does ‘Right of Way’ mean?

A single-car collision investigation Tuesday night led to the arrest of a 23-year-old man suspected of impaired driving and carrying a concealed firearm without a permit.

Just after 11:30 p.m., officers from the Southwest Precinct responded to a report of a collision in the 4500 block of West Marginal Way SW. The first arriving officer found a heavily damaged pickup truck which struck and bounced off a utility pole, then came to rest on nearby railroad tracks. Officers contacted a man outside the vehicle who was identified as the driver.

The man told officers he fell asleep at the wheel while driving and had not consumed any alcohol prior to the collision. However, the officer observed signs of impairment while talking to the driver, and another officer saw an empty can of beer on the floorboard of the pickup truck.
