The Seattle City Council passed the Vehicle Resident Assistance Program (VRAP), a legislative package designed to regulate residents living in recreational vehicles and trailers. The program required residents to participate in a census and maintain case management to obtain permits for parking in designated industrial zones. To address sanitation, the council also implemented a two-hour parking limit for unpermitted RVs. Mayor Katie Wilson subsequently vetoed the legislation, citing concerns over its complexity, legality, and an estimated cost of over $10 million by 2027. The Mayor argued the program would create an inefficient bureaucracy. In lieu of the bill, Wilson issued an executive order directing the Human Services Department to conduct intensive outreach and connect residents to shelter options, such as Glassyard Commons. While the council initially passed the bill with a 6-3 vote, the veto is expected to stand after Councilmember Rob Saka indicated he would not provide the vote necessary to override it. ## Timeline ### 2026-11-03: Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson vetoes RV permit legislation Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson vetoed a bill to permit and eventually ban RVs from city streets, citing high costs and legal concerns.
