Seattle Nice

Are SOAP zones the right way to clean up Seattle?

David Hyde, Erica Barnett, and Sandeep Kaushik Season 3 Episode 28

Seattle Nice takes a lively look at a proposed ban on prostitution "loitering," and proposed Stay Out of Stay Out of Area of Prostitution (SOAP) zones. This follows the proposed banishment of some drug users from select areas downtown, called SODAs or “Stay Out of Drug Areas."
