Encampment sweep planned for Woodland Park
The City of Seattle is continuing homeless encampment sweeps throughout the city. The latest is scheduled for Tuesday morning at Woodland Park.
Some local Phinney Ridge residents have been asking for a sweep for more than a year. Last September, several parents gathered at a nearby overpass to protest and demand a government intervention. At the time, residents held signs with messages like, “We want our parks back!”
Before the sweep, Woodland Park held Seattle’s largest park-based encampment.
”I think it’s a good thing overall. Long overdue. And I think the city has listened,” a resident told KIRO 7.
