A new study has revealed that half of Seattle’s homeless population arrived from outside the city and has no direct connection to the area. The Discover Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty released its report, A New Approach to Homelessness in Seattle, highlighting that King County’s homelessness crisis is one of the worst in the nation. The number of people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in the county is at an all-time high and could double in less than three years if current trends continue.
A group of homeless individuals was shot Wednesday night at Tempe’s Mitchell Park, with one man sustaining a bullet graze but avoiding hospitalization.
