HELP RECOVER SEATTLE!
SEATTLE CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES DESERVE A SAFE, CLEAN AND WELCOMING CITY.
THE ADDICTED DESERVE A LONG TERM PATH OUT OF ADDICTION AND BACK INTO SOCIETY.
OUR POLICE, FIRE and EMERGENCY ROOM WORKERS DESERVE TO BE ABLE TO DO THE JOBS THEY HAVE DEDICATED THEIR LIVES TO.
For too long, SEATTLE has allowed people engaged in public drug use to CAUSE CHAOS AND HARM TO OUR CITY, TO cycle through jail, Through the EMERGENCY ROOMS, or TO simply remain on the streets—without real accountability or real help.
ThE RECOVER SEATTLE INITIATIVE PACKAGE OFFERS a fundamental change: if you do drugs on our streets OR IF YOU ARE COMMITTING CRIMES TO FEED AN ADDICTION, you will be arrested And instead of sending you back out in crisis, we will give you a chance to stabilize and enter LONG TERM DRUG FREE recovery.
This is about enforcing the law, getting people off the streets, and connecting them to treatment—while getting officers back on patrol and restoring safety and order for our neighborhoods.
WITH YOUR HELP WE CAN PUT THE RECOVER SEATTLE INITIATIVES ON THE NOVEMBER 2026 BALLOT AND ENTER A NEW ERA OF RECOVERY.
Recover Seattle Initiatives
Recover Seattle is working to legally certify four citizens initiatives to be placed on the ballot in November 2026. The goal is to offer the addicted and non-violent 365 days of voluntary residential recovery with an ongoing 4 year path to rejoining society. The system we will build through approving the initiative package is a proven way to build what we need to provide the addicted the time, structure and support needed to begin long term drug free recovery.
2. A law for those who continue to commit the crimes associated with addiction. Mandating arrest and a choice between 364 days in jail or 364 days in a residential addiction treatment center away from our city neighborhoods and businesses.
1. A law to end camping or living in all of our public spaces, including long term RV street parking. Direct to move or to shelter or detox with arrest for those who refuse.
3. A law that instructs the Mayor and the City Council to use only existing city, state and federal funds to immediately build a secure, temporary facility that combines a jail, a detox, a small medical unit and a large residential addiction treatment center away from our city neighborhoods and commercial zones.
4. A law that instructs the Mayor and the City Council to use only existing city, state and federal funds to immediately build drug free apartments for the sober graduates of residential treatment and to fund training in an apprenticeship, a vocational training or college for 36 months.

About Recover Seattle
Recover Seattle is made up of Democrats, Independents and Republicans. We are Seattle citizens who are done with the excuses and the politicization of the most basic function of city government, and are willing to organize and demand the creation of safe, clean and welcoming streets and public spaces.
Now Seattle politics as usual has given us a Mayor, a City Attorney and three City Council members who proudly boast of maintaining and expanding the exact same policies that brought us the chaos of 2020-2025. For the time being the candidate and election solution is not possible.
Now it is time for the reasonable citizens and business owners and leaders to change Seattle’s addiction and crime policy from the outside.
