Description
Tuesday night, officials with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) along with its community partners spoke and answered questions for two hours about plans to clean up the encampment situated between Myers Way S. & State Route 509. The meeting took place at SHAG Arrowhead Gardens, a senior living community.
For months, those living there have complained to local and state officials about the problems that have come with living so close to a sprawling homeless encampment: cars being broken into and stolen; frequent gunshots; homes being broken into; threats of violence. Several residents told KING 5 they are afraid to go outside after dark.
The breaking point for many people came in May when Seattle Police announced it was investigating a homicide at the camp. That case is still unsolved at this time.
