A judge has ruled that Charter Amendment 29, known as “Compassion Seattle,” won’t go before Seattle voters in November. The measure’s potential effect on the city was still being debated, but it could have dramatically changed the way the city addresses homelessness if it had passed.
But its spirit could still influence the Nov. 2 election, in which persistent visible homelessness, and its pandemic-related growth in places like downtown Seattle, will likely be key issues.
King County Superior Court Judge Catherine Shaffer said that she actually liked the ballot initiative and would have voted for it if it were on the ballot — but her decision was about whether it goes beyond the power given to cities by state law.
