Closure of Navigation Center in Seattle's Chinatown-International District postponed

Описание: The closure of a homeless service center in Seattle's Chinatown-International District (CID) has been postponed by two months.

The "Navigation Center," a low-barrier facility with drug and mental health treatment operated by the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC), was slated for closure before the end of January, but will now remain open through March, DESC officials confirmed to KOMO News.

The city of Seattle announced last year the lease for the Navigation Center would not be renewed after prolonged public safety issues around the facility, including rampant drug use, shootings and fires.

The DESC said the services at the Navigation Center will move to a new facility, known as the Stability Through Access and Resources (STAR) Center, that will occupy a currently-vacant building at the corner of Third Ave and Cherry Street, one block west of Seattle City Hall.
