Seattle council fails to override Wilson’s RV permit veto in 5-4 vote

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson’s veto of an RV permit program stands after the Seattle City Council failed to override it Thursday. Five members supported the override, one short of the six votes required.

The vote leaves Council Bill 121283 blocked. The measure would have created a permit program for motorhomes and travel trailers.

Wilson previously cited concerns about the program’s cost, legal risks, staffing and enforcement requirements, and whether it could increase unsheltered homelessness.
