Former hotel in Federal Way could soon house Afghan refugees

A former hotel, now owned by King County, could soon be used to temporarily house Afghan refugees.

Federal Way Mayor Jim Ferrell said he received a call from King County Executive Dow Constantine, asking if he would be open to the idea of welcoming refugees into his city.

“My immediate response was, ‘Yes, of course,’” Ferrell said Friday.

The county purchased the former Extended Stay America hotel to use as long-term housing for chronically homeless people, as part of the Health Through Housing initiative.
