Latest stop for hundreds of asylum-seekers: A Seattle park
Hundreds of people seeking asylum in the United States have been moving around King County for months.
Last night, most of them cleared out of an encampment in a park, near Garfield High school.
They had been staying there for about a week.
We’ll talk with KUOW reporter Gustavo Sagrero about how we got here and what long-term solutions are on the table.
