Fox News
Hundreds of asylum seekers set up an encampment at Powell Barnett Park in Seattle's Central District neighborhood after funding for housing ran out.
The group of men, women and children had previously camped outside Riverton Park United Methodist Church in Tukwila in early 2023 before funding allowed them to secure a stay at a hotel in Kent, FOX13 Seattle reported.
Now that the funding for their hotel stay has dried up, the asylum seekers are telling local news outlets that they are staying at the park until more funding comes through.
