text: Speak Out Seattle! is a citizen's group that is part of King County Initiative 27 coalition which, if passed February 2018, would make drug consumption sites illegal across King County.  We have faced an uphill battle because advocates have enjoyed unprecedented media access.  SOS agrees with the King County Opioid Task Force that access to treatment is needed, and we also agree with needle exchanges, because they are evidence based.  We would like to see them enhanced with wound care, counseling, and access to treatment.  Access to treatment is the number one problem.  Drug consumptions sites are ineffective at coaxing people into treatment.  69,000 injections in King County per day:  500 would be supervised by a drug consumption site.  NO to drug consumption sites!  Use our resources wisely.  NALOXONE distribution will save many more lives.
