Fewer cars = more space to walk, shop, sit, and enjoy the heart of Seattle. The pilot has created a safer, more welcoming experience for locals and visitors alike — and it’s working.

Women in Black are holding a vigil today for the 19 homeless people who died in Seattle and King County in April. Since the start of 2025, more than 100 homeless people have died in the county.
Organizers are demanding the city provide an already promised city lot for Tent City.
