Seattle City Council Votes to Ban Winter Evictions
--------------------------------------------------

The Seattle City Council voted Monday to bar some residential evictions
during winter months. Socialist City Councilmember Kshama Sawant
sponsored the bill. If enacted, it would prohibit most evictions in the
months of December through February, though the initial bill proposed a
longer ban period.
