After a decade of legal wrangling, Seattle may be close to building homeless and low-income housing at Fort Lawton near Discovery Park in Magnolia.

Supporters say the mixed-income development will help address the city’s affordable housing crisis, but critics argue the site is inconvenient and better suited for environmental preservation.
