Square Peg Construction Fills A Hole In Seattle's Housing Crunch

An average of 57 people move to Seattle each day. But the city only builds 18 new places each day for them to live. The result: a housing shortage with rising rents and urban sprawl. The Seattle area needs more housing. But there's not enough construction workers to build all the houses needed. Meanwhile, ex-prisoners have a hard time finding work and a place to live.

One woman and her company found a way to tackle all these problems at the same time. KUOW's Joshua McNichols (@joshuamcnichols) reports.
