The Seattle City Council has passed two significant bills aimed at curbing commercial sexual exploitation and drug-related crimes. The bills, known as SOAP (Stay Out of Areas of Prostitution) and SODA (Stay Out of Drug Areas), were approved after a lengthy five-hour meeting on Tuesday afternoon with an 8-1 vote. The decision followed heated debates among citizens and neighbors at a packed Seattle City Hall, reflecting the community's concern over illegal drug use and prostitution. The new buffer zones are designed to enhance public safety by restricting these activities in designated areas.
