Arts District
Enjoyed an hour or so at the Seattle Art Museum’s very informative Monet exhibit, and then crossed the street for coffee on the deck outside a posh coffee bar. Happened to glance to the right, and saw someone emerging from this tent. Surprised to find it in a very upscale commercial district at the heart of downtown. Does living in a tent on the sidewalk qualify as homelessness?
A wider view of this location, shot in color by Ruth Fremson, was featured in a two-page spread in The NY Times 30 Oct 2022 special report “Meet Me Downtown”. The tent and other items have been cleared from the sidewalk, and there is new graffiti on the marquee.
Happy Mono Monday!
