Description
Multiple organizations worked quickly to create more space in Seattle warm shelters ahead of more frigid temperatures coming Saturday night.
The Salvation Army and King County Regional Homelessness Authority opened two emergency cold weather shelters, in addition to other shelters the organizations run. The two emergency shelters are at the Salvation Army SoDo shelter and at Exhibition Hall at Seattle Center.
The SoDo warm shelter holds 33 people, while the Exhibition Hall location was originally expanded to hold 200 people. But after nearly hitting that expanded capacity Friday night, they increased capacity to 300 people for Saturday night.
