They need to build these homeless shelters in Eastern WA.

Agreed. But it’s significantly cheaper to buy them bus tickets to Seattle, which is their current way of addressing the issue.

You need to lay off the pipe if you think Spokane would actually spend the money on a bus ticket for a homeless person

I must've missed the part where I called out Spokane directly. I know this is how Ellensburg and Yakima operate. Frankly, its way less expensive for the bus ticket than to fund shelters, blankets, etc.

Ellensburg and Yakima are in Central Washington

Edit: btw, Ellensburg is the home of Central Washington University and the City of Yakima literally says on its website that it's in Central Washington. https://www.yakimawa.gov/

Wenatchee, WSDOT, and State Parks also distinguish Central from eastern, so idk man

East of the cascades is eastern wa, west of the cascades is western wa. This is how it’s commonly referred to.

Commonly referred to by people who don't live east of the Cascades or know the geography of our state

Are "they" not the same as "you"?

I am referring 'they' as in the homeless organizations. I have not seen or heard of any in my area.
