Kirkland homeless housing plans prompts Major Tech employer to exit, raising community concerns

The addition of a soon-to-be permanent supportive housing facility for the homeless is causing a Kirkland business to move out of town.INRIX CEO Bryan Mistele made the announcement on X."This week INRIX signed a lease which will move us out of Kirkland which has been our home for the past 18 years," Mistele wrote. "Why? (The city of Kirkland) made a decision to put a homeless hotel right across the street from our current HQ."Mistele went on to claim that no drug testing is required at the facility and there is "no real supervision on-site."
