There are still two months left of 2018 and already more people experiencing homeless in King County have died compared to 2017.

100. That's the number of homeless that will have died on King County streets this year by the time you finish reading this article, according to the organization WHEEL/Women in Black.

The number is already a record compared to last year when the organization tracked 67 deaths through October 2017.

A final number of both street deaths and sheltered deaths will not be tallied until the end of the year, but last year the King County medical examiner released a report indicating 169 homeless residents died in King County. A number that's more than doubled over the past seven years.

According to the numbers from WHEEL/Women in Black for this year, the more common cause of death was a drug overdose.
