Homelessness is not a new issue in Seattle, but how we approach this complex topic has varied throughout the decades. Anne Frantilla and Jeanie Fisher from the Seattle Municipal Archives detail the ways Seattle’s government and residents have responded to homelessness, from the Hoovervilles of the Great Depression to the Nickelsvilles of the 21st century, and today.
