This is one of the many field hospitals King County is building in the region to hold as many as 3,000 patients who can’t stay in their homes without compromising the health of other family members, or who do not have a home.

The City of Shoreline says the field hospital at the soccer complex will provide about 200 beds.

When occupancy will begin isn’t clear.
