became a little clearer on Tuesday morning, as city leaders gathered at the Seattle Fire Department headquarters.
Two roadblocks that have become clear in the early weeks of the program: many overdose survivors don’t have permanent addresses, and there are limited spaces for treatment. "One of the things I hear most from the fire department is when they successfully reverse an overdose of someone who is living unsheltered, they save the lives and move on, they leave that individual on the street," said Herbold.
. Mayor Harrell has been calling on city leaders to pass legislation, which failed to get votes a few months ago. A second version of the legislation, which includes diversion language that the state law doesn’t have, passed 6–3 during the council meeting Tuesday evening.
"I believe I need to know as mayor—how many people are using drugs, how many people are affected by it, how many people are, right now as we speak, drug-affected," said Harrell. "We don’t have to go far to see the effects of what’s happening out there. It’s killing people who are using [drugs] and creating unsafe and unwelcoming conditions for all Seattle residents."
