It's #BannedBooksWeek! @kuow.org's Meet Me Here is celebrating with Charlie Hunts of Charlie's Queer Books ✊ He talks about being a resource to people outside of Seattle/WA at a time when more than half of books banned in the US are about LGBTQ+ people and POC. #readbannedbooks

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

Look I’m mad at the Gators, too, but all this negative talk on @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social After Dark is starting to personally offend me. Feeling like chomping out of sheer spite.
