Bill Radke talks to Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan about the annual report out today showing a 4 percent increase in the number of homeless people in King County.

Durkan says she sees "real glimmers of hope in the data," because the rate of increase is slowing. She also commented on her new plan to move 500 people into shelter beds.
