- Palmer's final days on the streets of Seattle drew to a close on Monday, May 1st, 2024. In this video, Palmer generously invites us into his world, revealing his daily routine over the past year at "The Cromwell," his chosen spot next to a church in Capitol Hill, Seattle. Through his eyes, we catch a glimpse of the realities of homelessness, gaining insight into his struggles and resilience.
The narrative then shifts to the arduous journey through the system to secure housing in Seattle, highlighting the immense effort it took to reach this milestone. Stay tuned for part 3, where Palmer receives the keys to his new apartment!

Blessings Palmer, I was homeless in Seattle, but I stayed strong and now have my own apartment. Keep safe, and I know you will make it.
I was homeless on/off in Seattle 2009 to 2018. Literally hell on earth. Alhamdulillah, I am clean now and housed, a family man now and about to graduate with a degree in addiction studies.
"Clean now" So you were just a fuck up and I clearly don't have to give a shit about anyone like you I see in the street?
love to read it! brother, how did you come to be homeless ?
@@kcsnipes Heroin and Xanax addiction
Congratulations! Good choices!
Happiness always!
Well done ❤ I just moved away. It was so heart wrenching to see.
Palmer, I'm so happy for you that you've got a place! You have so much going for you and so much to offer based on your personal experience. I have to admit that I got a an attitude adjustment I didn't even realize I needed by listening to you. Keep up the good work! 👏🏼👏🏼
You got this Palmer!
I can relate to everyone claiming they can help with housing and they really can't. I signed up with CEFA, had an in person interview where they asked me 1000 questions and then I waited. Everytime I called they said that this or that person who had children or some other issue was going to be bumped up ahead of me. Everytime. I was a single handicapped female with no kids who they treated like crap! I went round and round with them for over a year and every person I had ever dealt with no longer worked there and they knew nothing about my case. According to their 'system' which they assign by a stupid points system I wasn't disabled enough for them to help me. The system is so fucked up. And even more so in the last 5 years. I got lucky and a friend stepped up to get me permanent housing but without her I'd be where so many other people are right now. I really hope the housing came through for you and you don't ever have to deal with that again! Housing should be a right not a luxury!
It's nice and important for people to help others. And we should all help. But as far as being a RIGHT, SOMEONE has to pay for and administer helping the homeless. But it's not a RIGHT.
Port you phone number to Google and you will never lose your phone number. Also you can check your messages with any desktop computer in the library if you happen to lose your mobile phone.
I lived in Seattle for 20 years
in good and bad places
This guy doesn't sound legit
He's too put together
He sounds like a reporter making a homeless video
My thoughts as well.
Agreed
if he was more transparent with how he became homeless, he could argue homelessness is a housing issue. Nobody kicked you out of your home before you defaulted on your payment more months on end.
did the interviewer ask? i was curious how he came to this situation
WHY ON EARTH DO HOMELESS PEOPLE NOT GET EVERYTHING FREE AT GOODWILL?
Maybe because Goodwill does not give free stuff to the homeless. SERIOUSLY! Where did you get that idea? Perhaps you think that if you write something in all caps it will be true.
It's more efficient and a better idea for Goodwill and other non profit thrift stores to MAKE money and then HELP people. That's ALSO why non profit thrift stores don't have garage sale prices. Their purpose is to MAKE money!
Do you know he's not even native here cuz he said CAP Hill
Maybe not Native, but I’ve been here since 2013 and that sounds normal to me?
Nobody says "The Hill" anymore. Becoming a long lost fact. Plus, the name doesn't make sense when the whole city has multiple hills.
What does it matter? I am native. Maybe things change and street language might have its own slang
I live in Wallingford, but work on Cap Hill. We DO call it Cap Hill.
I was homeless since march and I just got a studio a month ago! I was sleeping in my car and staying in hotels, fell asleep hungry lots of times, it’s difficult and sad, I don’t wish it on anyone. Don’t be ungrateful for what you have and never ever take anyone and anything for granted!
Very articulate and intelligent person.
Probably the best I have seen on ALL of RUclips.
A big difference is he is not addicted to hard illegal drugs.
Noticed that Bipolar people are gifted with a high degree of intelligence or creativity.
I have a family member who is Bipolar. She is housed, in a long term relationship and able to hold a job.
Thanks Catholic Community Service..😊
Way to go wanna see him housed please do an update please ❤
Thank you for watching. There is an update, please see our channel for details. Thx!
I want to hear his podcast and his Instagram page would be much appreciated.
Realistically, this guy is set for success m i admire his honesty and the joy in his heart is unmatched. ❤
I hope Palmer is doing better now! Wishing him the best of luck!!
Thank you for doing your part to keep Seattle clean Palmer! ❤
Homeless people in the USA are the only ones in the country reading books... its a sad country
Wrong
He seems like someone who theoretically could find work….?
Wishing you comfort and happiness in your new home.
💙
Keep us posted on how you’re doing, Palmer.
May god bless you with a job, and a home.never give up, it will get better.😊❤
Schools are being closed. There's a conversion right there. Make those into at least SORs that have a locking door so people are safe.
Very nice guy. I really like him and hes so smart. I feel like hes a good person
This breaks my heart. Sharing. What happened to the American dream? B
Palmer 💛 one-with-you-one-with-love-peace&strength - this will change soon🌲🐝 your equity is your birthright ✨

myman is way more disciplined than me ! i suppose he has to be
I hope you find a home palmer God bless you ❤❤❤❤ every one deserves a little help
Thanks for watching, see the follow up. Palmer is now housed and doing great!
Amen…God will watch over him… he cares for each and every soul that seeks Him!
@@seattlestories I saw on his IG that people have not heard from him since early July. His last posts on all social media were around July 5th. Any update on him?
@@ariannefowler455 Hello and thanks for reaching out. It is true Palmer is missing, we last texted July 12th and are still attempting to reach him.
Thumbs Up 👍 and shared out!❤
Great advice. Hope you are well.
Hope to get a followup on Palmer! Hope all is going well for him.
Thanks for watching and hope you saw the follow up!
@@seattlestories😮 where is the follow up, can you give a link to it?
Tears of joy I have for you
Brilliant video, very intelligent articulate man, with a great attitude.
I wish you well..❤❤❤❤...
Be safe man. Where is your family?😘
I would sure appreciate updates on your stories. Its like a cliffhanger, did he get in? Was there another road block? Is it what he hoped for?
I just Love You Palmer❤
Amazing interview
Thanks for watching!
Wishing you the best of luck.
Good luck
New subscriber 🙂👍🏽
Home is where you want it to be
I'm not condoning what he's doing however if the houseless were way more considerate like him a lot of us would be ok with it.
Maybe if people in houses with money were less violent and more caring to the unhoused they would be more considerate to you...
good job
That’s awesome ❤
Surviving to the extreme!! Love your video!
what an interesting person!
Thanks for watching! He really is, part 3 coming soon.
@@seattlestories That’s great! I’m looking forward to it.
Significance of 420?
Slang for pot.
That was the time of day The Grateful Dead would get high.
Sort of a slang/code word. 1960s
maybe don't be a pothead and you won't be in this situation (:
You don’t get homeless from smoking pot, that’s one way to stay alive tho
@@priceandprideI'm sure it by itself is not the prime factor, but substance abuse doesn't fucking help. "Staying alive"? WAH I NEED MY BOTTLE WAH!!! I WONT WIV WIT OUT MY CIGEES!!!
@@JamesSmith-c9fyour judgment of others in less fortunate positions in life really says alot of you as a fellow human being. Do better
ratioed but he attributes his situation to mental health and he seems rational in his assessment imo
I hope you never have a loved one with mental health issues.
The battle to help and to get help for them is very real.
How about he go back where he came from he's not from this area he's a drug user. And is it rain on the system. What is the difference between druggies and homeless
this area is full of drug users some drugs are legal here! there's many difference between druggies & homelessness u don't know this ?
How about you listen to the guys story and struggle with an ounce of compassion.
Seattle has a history, his story is Seattle's story.
Shit, if I was homeless I'd come here too. They cater to them. Did you know that there are 30 + local chef''s that volunteer their time one day a month & cooks for these folks everyday at a church on First Hill?
@@rebeccaleary2say what you want about how our city deals with homelessness, but at least no one starves to death in the streets. I do often see people who are hungry though
So the "druggie" homeless man is more articulate than you are? What does that say about you 🤔
And reality check, there's a difference between legal and illegal drugs, maintaining legal drugs the right and wrong way. Plus, I highly doubt his Marijuana use made him homeless 😂
