Tackling homelessness will be one of the top priorities for Republican gubernatorial candidate Dave Reichert and he’s laying out his game plan for Washington State. Meanwhile, Democratic front runner Bob Ferguson has yet to unveil his strategy on this crisis and he’s now being called out for being quiet.

No Response from Bob Ferguson

I reached out to Ferguson’s camp for comment but still no response. If they get back to me, I will update here.

Reichert’s Homelessness Plan

Reichert’s homelessness plan was unveiled in June. Now he’s calling on Gov. Inslee to craft an executive order to clear encampments like the one California Gov. Gavin Newsom just put into play.
