Rex Hohlbein

Rex Hohlbein was a successful Seattle architect who made a good living designing million-dollar homes. But Hohlbein gave up his architectural career to become an advocate for the homeless. What motivated him to do so? How did a talented homeless artist affect his decision? What does he think of the recent announcement by Seattle Mayor Ed Murray and King County Executive Dow Constantine to declare states of emergency in the city and county in response to the growing rate of homelessness? Enrique Cerna takes up those questions and more with Hohlbein in an in-depth conversation about the homeless.
