"I've been meeting with council members, with businesses, with labor trying to see if there's a way we can forge a path forward together. so that we can have a very vital economy here in Seattle and at the same time do more to bring people off the streets and out of tents, to improve our neighborhoods, to make sure that people understand that there is a path in which they know that their dollars will be spent well and efficiently, and actually improve the state of life for the people living on the streets living in neighborhoods."
