Renton considers vacating Red Lion Hotel sheltering 200 homeless people
Renton city leaders are considering a plan that would force more than 200 homeless people to move elsewhere. The city council is mulling a six-month plan to vacate a hotel-turned-shelter.
This comes amid disagreements between officials and leaders at the Red Lion Hotel over the hotel's operation and number of homeless occupants.
"They moved about 230 homeless individuals of downtown Seattle into a thriving business district in the center of Renton,” said Chip Vincent, administrator for Renton's Community & Economic Development department.
He added that there have been several concerns brought to the city by leaders and residents about the recent influx of homeless tenants and how it could affect the city in the future. There have been a number of ordinances proposed to head off any possible issues.
