The City of Seattle has been “too broad” in defining when it can clear homeless encampments, a King County Superior Court judge ruled.
According to a report in The Seattle Times, the ruling could have a big impact on how the homeless are treated.
The judge ruled that part of the city’s approach to homeless encampments was “unconstitutional.”
The American Civil Liberties Union of Washington filed the lawsuit in 2019 on behalf of people who had belongings taken during encampment clearings.
