Do you have trouble reading? I asked, how many was drawing welfare? If there are people drawing welfare in that area, they need to take it away from them, and put them to work.

These people could probably use the work. It's difficult to pinpoint the exact number of people currently on welfare in Seattle. Washington State's Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) provides assistance to a wide range of individuals and families, and this assistance includes programs like TANF, SNAP, and others. In fiscal year 2024, an average of 888,300 people in Washington state received SNAP benefits, which is equivalent to 11.2% of the state's population. However, this number doesn't specify how many of those individuals are in Seattle. The DSHS also serves approximately 1.8 million people through its Economic Services Administration (ESA), which includes those receiving cash assistance, food assistance, and other support. To get a more precise number for Seattle, one would need to access data specific to the city, which is not provided in the search results. Here's a breakdown of the relevant information: TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families): .Opens in new tab Provides cash assistance to families with children and pregnant women who meet income and resource limits.
