Glassyard Commons: Correcting an error brings more questions on the 'other lot'

Construction is underway on the site of the future Glassyard Commons RV park and tiny home village in West Seattle, a $3.3 million project slated for November. The city chose a triangular lot in an industrial buffer zone, planning 70 RVs in three rows, laundry and kitchen facilities, 30 tiny houses, and bathrooms for 100 people. Councilmembers Rob Saka and Maritza Rivera added requirements for a public-safety plan and a 'buffer zone' where camping is strictly prohibited. However, neighbors report rising crime, and recent shootings in the area have heightened concerns. The cost of 24/7 staffing is also questioned: three workers at $20/hour would cost about $524,160 annually before overhead. The density of the layout raises questions about safety and livability.
