A business deal went south between the city of Seattle and a motel operator in Kent where migrant families have been staying, and on Friday, May 10, they packed up and headed to other motels in SeaTac.
Seattle committed to pay the room fees through the end of June for 144 people, many of whom are children, who recently entered the country and have few options as they await work permits and other documents. Many of them had been camping at Powell Barnett Park in Seattle, but rooms were found for them in Kent at the Quality Inn.
On May 10, those families were packing up and loading into vans after Seattle and the general manager were unable to agree on contract terms for the stay.

When OH pays under $3 for a gallon of gas, WA pays almost $5. Applies to every product that’s sold in WA. That extra is what’s known as the “inflation tax” that covers all of these damaging liberal policies.

@KazeriantheVIIII 22 дня назад

From my understanding the hotel owner entered into a verbal contract with the city of Seattle to house these illegal migrants. But the city then went back and tried to change the verbally agreed contract. My guess is the city could not cover the costs they and the owner initially agreed to. This is trend happening across the US. A lot of cities are running out of money for illegal migrants. Denver had the same thing happen. They ran out of money to pay for a hotel outside the city that was housing illegal migrants. The US has spent billions on these illegal migrants. Imagine how much better this country would be if they spent it on the citizens.

The hotel manager was doing a cover his ass situation...wanting up front payment, he KNOWS this hotel will be destroyed, he will have to replace carpet, beds, maybe windows, doors, etc.. Securing that the money will be there. Making sure these people have a place to stay.. the homeless in Washington state is rampant.. how can this even happen?
