‘Restoring its reputation isn’t possible’: Jake and Spike say King County homelessness agency struck out as officials install oversight

King County Executive Girmay Zahilay and Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson are installing independent financial oversight within the King County Regional Homeless Authority following major financial mismanagement issues. The agency has mishandled $13 million in funding and faces a nearly $45 million deficit, with officials considering whether to dissolve it entirely. The troubles affect county taxpayers and homeless services across the region, including Maple Valley.
