Burien officials just can't seem to decide whether they want an offered $1 million. The money was offered more than a month ago by King County as Burien's unsheltered homelessness crisis became a flashpoint for the region, with many watching what the South King County city of 50,000 people will do. While King County has worked with some suburbs, including some in South King County, to open hotels that serve as long-term or permanent housing for homeless people, explicitly strings-free offers, such as Burien's, are rare.
