Raise our concerns about the Redmond homeless hotel directly to Redmond city council members. Pack the room. Show up on 9/7.
Despite more than 150 people showed up and a few dozens spoke against the homeless hotel siting on Tuesday August 17th, the under the influence of planning director, Carol Helland, Redmond city council unanimously passed Ordinance 3059 ( https://redmond.legistar.com/View.ashx?M=F&ID=9714814&GUID=936D3D1D-D972-441F-B302-08DEB14344A1 ) , and paved way for this and future homeless hotels and shelters to move into Redmond. Ordinance 3059 took effect on August 28th, which effectively prevented voters from running a referendum against it.
Ever since the news about the Redmond homeless hotel broke out, City of Redmond has not made any attempt to hold a meeting and communicate with the community. Tuesday, September 7th, is Redmond City Council meeting. Please show up, pack the room and give public comment. Meeting starts at 7:00pm. We’ll gather outside at 6:30pm with signs.

Who said that is a place to use drugs? I haven’t seen that said. It’s from what I heard a place where homeless attics can stay as long as they are getting help as well for dual diagnosis.

King County clearly states in its Q&A “drug and/or alcohol use will be permitted in individual units”. You can verify with the county.
