In an effort to soften the resettlement after the US pulled out of Afghanistan, King County utilized two hotels as temporary refugee housing. 

One in Federal Way and one in Redmond.

Between October 2021 and December 2022, the county helped refugee families through the program known as Health Through Housing.

Seattle Times reporter Anna Patrick spent more than a year gathering stories from Afghan refugees who lived in those hotels and is here to give us a peek inside.
