This community is strong and focused on safety but we are exhausted with many years of clearing RV encampments only for them to return over and over again. We the community can petition to the city for no over night parking zones in that area. However, this could impact the resistants whose homes are located on Trenton. How can we get together to come up with a parking zone that works for everyone to keep the neighborhood safe and accessible to the residents. Mike Gain was a leader of the Alki community group that petitioned for no overnight parking zone along Alki Harbor Ave and it’s been a success since 2023.

“pending shelter bed availability” = it may or may not happen even then. Again … show up to the community meeting on 9/11!!

It looks like now that they know the site will be cleared some of the criminal(s) have moved on, leaving mostly the users for now, they’ll be what’s left when they start cleaning up. Unfortunately the criminal aspect is allowed to move to a new neighborhood and not addressed.

Spotted these post on Capital Hill ? Why no consistency in this city from Bruce Harrell and his staff ?

School is back in session and this is a key lunchtime, before and after school route for loads of Sealth kids. Not to mention it is adjacent to their athletic fields. I thought the city was going to prioritize safety of children this year??

Grateful it’s happening but three weeks is way too long. Hopefully within a week or so it’ll be cleared.

Really disappointed, should be done NOW,school started, I drove by today,it’s worse if possible, and some of the people who are barely functional with pants falling down ate going closer to post office and one was outside Marshalls and one went in there, it’s atrocious, I saw a group of students walking on other side of sidewalk going back to school , are they waiting for something to happen, the mayor called for safer schools and has added security at Garfield , where is Saka ,come take a look, and sports are starting, foot ball opener tomorrow, this is so upsetting

I can’t wait for this “crime scene” to be cleared! I drive by there twice a day, and observe more and more criminal activity.
