It’s more than a year after the pandemic cut downtown tourism to ribbons and forced many of Seattle’s homeless shelters to empty out or relocate, but on Wednesday, the city will begin leaning into a strategy that brings those two problems together: putting homeless people up in hotels.

Almost 140 people will be moving into the historic Executive Hotel Pacific downtown starting Wednesday. They’re joining more than 800 people staying in hotels around the county, many of whom moved in last year. Next week, the Kings Inn will open to a smaller group of homeless people.

Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan toured the hotel — which was built nearly 100 years ago in the roaring ’20s — Tuesday, checking out hotel rooms that have in the last three weeks been turned into case manager offices, food prep areas and suites for people off the street.

“We know how hard this has been, for the people experiencing homelessness and the people in every community, to see the increase in the numbers of people experiencing homelessness,” Durkan said. “And we have to have solutions that bring people inside and make sure that community parks and sidewalks are restored for public use as we reopen and recover our economy. And those two things don’t have to work against each other; they have to work in harmony with one another.”
