(The Center Square) – The Burien City Council continues to struggle to agree on solutions for its homelessness issue as four potential shelter locations are to being evaluated. Three of the proposed sites are located within Burien's city limits and one is located immediately north of the city's northern border. The first proposed location is the Northeast Redevelopment Area, which is owned by the Port of Seattle. Burien City Councilmember Cydney Moore said the location would be uninhabitable because of the noise caused by the adjacent Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
