Seattleites cite homelessness, public safety as top concerns in new survey
A new research survey from the Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce found Seattle voters think quality of life in the city has not improved, as homelessness and public safety remain top concerns.
Key findings from this year's index research found that 3 of 4 surveyed feel quality of life is worse than four years ago.
Conducted by EMC Research, the report also found 87% believe a healthy downtown is critical to Seattle's economic recovery.
"They don't think downtown can recover until homelessness and safety are addressed," Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Rachel Smith said.
