Description
Refugees from Venezuela have one more week in a Kent Quality Inn after previously facing imminent eviction from the hotel.
The families were told they would be evicted on Tuesday, however the City of Seattle stepped in and paid for the extended stay.
Hundreds of refugees had been living at the hotel for weeks, but were initially living in tents outside a church in Tukwila. The stop-gap solution provides a temporary relief for the group that had been asking for help in the day's leading up to Tuesday's deadline.
