Seattle City Council Passes Draconian Effective RV Ban

Seattle City Council passed six ordinances on large vehicle regulations sponsored by Councilmember Dan Strauss, with the two most controversial bills passing 6-3. The new permitting system requires RV residents to obtain permits to park longer than two hours and move every 72 hours, though advocates argue it functions as a ban. The package includes funding for outreach and dedicated city-managed RV parking, but critics say enforcement costs should go directly to homeless services instead.
