Dozens of tents in two areas near Leary Way in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood were cleared Thursday.
City crews loaded up bikes, mattresses and other large items. The sidewalk between 14th and 15th Avenue NW that used to be covered in tents has been cleared. Anything past 14th is considered a separate operation so a spokesperson for the city of Seattle said that will stay put for now.
“These site resolutions follow months of intensive outreach services to individuals in the area to assess their needs, remove barriers that can often prevent entrance to housing, and connect individuals to shelter and service resources that fit their individual circumstances …” Baxter told KIRO Newsradio.
When asked how much notice the city gave those in the encampment, Brianna disagreed with the city’s assessment. “We do have outreach people come through, but they offer food, socks and stuff like that. They have not been offering housing,” Brianna said. “It hasn’t been housing offered until a couple days ago … I know for myself, a lot of people out here housing is really what we are craving what we really need. And so to kind of have that just … sprung on us with no time to prepare was shocking to a lot of people.
