Keep Kids Safe – No Low Barrier Housing Next to Our Schools Keep Kids Safe We are Parents Neighbors Community Members and Kirkland Stakeholders that support finding solutions for the homeless but not at the risk of our kids. King County and the City of Kirkland in secret approved and the County purchased a facility to be used as lowbarrier Permanent Supportive Housing for the homeless that is adjacent to Eastside Preparatory School and very close to Chestnut Montessori School Yarrow Bay KinderCareand Cedar Crest Academy. No other King County facility for the homeless especially a lowbarrier one is that close to a school. King County willfully and egregiously violated its own ordinance and the public trust by not following its own detailed stepbystep public site evaluation process and did not hold a public meeting prior to purchase as was required by its own ordinance.
