When I Google "Seattle Homeless" I get the following results:
Number One - City of Seattle efforts to support people experiencing homelessness.
Number Three - Real Change (Cool!!!) Keep up the great work!
Number Four - United Way report on homelessness (Pretty cool, too!)
Number Five - Some weird fucking link about the dangers of "beggars, panhandlers,homeless."
