The City of Seattle and the Mayor's office have released new details about the planned RV and tiny home safe lot at Glassyard Commons, located at 7200 2nd Ave SW in Highland Park. The site, owned by WSDOT and leased to the Low Income Housing Institute, is scheduled to open in November 2026 and will feature 72 RV stalls and 20 tiny homes. The city plans to add positions to the Human Services Department and increase funding for contracted outreach services, while also reviewing the impact on RV towing and storage costs. However, the initiative faces criticism from We Heart Seattle, which argues it repeats a failed playbook and raises unresolved questions about eligibility, costs, and compliance with the state Supreme Court ruling on towing fees.
