by Rosette Royale
 

Six women stood in silence outside the Seattle Justice Center on Fifth and Cherry Wednesday, Aug. 29, to remember six men who died while homeless in King County in a 19-day period in late July and early August.

The men were Michael C. Robinson, 42, William Lacey, 52; Jimmie James, 57; Rex Taylor, 56; Dean Halpaus, 42; and Michael P. Williams, 42.

According to the vigil’s organizers, Women in Black, the county Medical Examiner has counted 29 homeless people dying on the streets or in a violent manner this year.
