Legislation aimed at targeting sex trafficking and gun violence throughout the city will have its fate decided by the Seattle City Council Tuesday.

Dubbed the Stay Out of Area of Prostitution (SOAP) proposal, it would create a prostitution loitering law that would primarily target the buyers of commercial sex, and the pimps operating the sex rings.

The previous prostitution loitering law Seattle practiced was unanimously struck by the Seattle City Council in 2020 for disproportionately targeting people of color.

The legislation, through two ordinances, would also create Stay Out of Drug Area (SODA) or Stay Out of Area of Prostitution (SOAP) zones that would bar people with drug and prostitution-related arrests from entering.
