## Key points

- Seattle’s mayor vetoed new restrictions on people living in RVs.
- The council approved the bill by a 6-3 vote.
- Wilson plans outreach funding and two new RV shelters.

## Summary

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson has vetoed a City Council bill that would have sharply restricted people living in recreational vehicles on city streets. The decision has disrupted the council’s proposed crackdown and exposed a disagreement with bill sponsor Dan Strauss, who said he had expected Wilson to work with him on implementation.

The bill passed 6-3 last month and would have limited daytime RV parking to two hours and banned overnight parking, with permits available to some residents. It also proposed towing vehicles without the usual advance notice and expanding services and storage options. Wilson cited the programme’s projected cost, the risk of towing people without alternative accommodation, and possible legal challenges; she said she would direct funding to outreach and two new RV shelters.
