Port of Seattle Commission Assists with Homeless Housing

September 12, 2017

The Port of Seattle is doing its part to address the region’s homelessness crisis by partnering with community groups and the City of Seattle to provide needed resources. The Port of Seattle Commission took action today, making our Tsubota property located at 1601 15th Ave. W available as a new temporary location for Tent City 5.

Portion of the Port of Seattle’s Tsubota property approved for use as a new temporary location for Tent City 5.

Up to 80 residents and their small structures and tents would be on Port property for up to two years, starting sometime in November of this year. With this approval from the Port of Seattle Commission, the City of Seattle will be holding up to two additional public meetings regarding the placement of Tent City 5.

On Friday, September 15, the Port of Seattle will be hosting a Day of Caring event for United Way and Microsoft employees to paint the small structures on the Tsubota site.
