The Kirkland City Council voted to approve a plan that would turn the former La Quinta Inn into permanent, supportive housing. King County previously purchased the former inn as part of its Health Through Housing program. The resolution vote on Tuesday would authorize the city manager to execute the agreement with the county. King County purchased the property in March of 2022. It was the 10th property purchased for the housing program, which aims to develop permanent, supportive housing for people who are experiencing homelessness. The former inn, which was the second Health Through Housing purchase on the Eastside, will provide at least 120 units of housing.
