Description
Jim Dean and Rich Menzel walked the streets, alleyways and parking lots of Snohomish County Tuesday as part of the annual Point In Time count, which gives an estimate of the number of people living outdoors.
"It's the right thing to do to get a sense of where our community is," said Dean.
They found people like Susan, a 63-year-old domestic violence survivor with multiple health issues.
"Her story brings me to tears," said Rich. "This should not happen in America."
Last year's Point In Time count found nearly 1,200 unhoused people in Snohomish County. That's an 8.5% increase from the year before and the highest since 2012.
