I have very little issue with it. They aren't just some group of homeless people. They have rules and regulations in order to stay there, an application process, and certain people not allowed. I encourage you to check the faqs.

No Land Use sign was posted for zoning changes. Area is being changed from a church to a very high density living are for over 50 people.
Local businesses where not notified so they can hire additional security.

Tent City 3 (TC3), is a self-managed, democratic, clean and sober group of roughly 50 individuals, that will be temporarily residing in Tukwila at the Riverton Park United Methodist Church September 7 - December 7. TC3 has been at the Riverton Park United Methodist Church several times. They adhere to a strict code of sobriety, non-violent behavior and require community participation (like camp security and litter patrol). TC3 is self-contained with sleeping quarters, food prep and hygiene areas. They provide 24/7 security within their community and participate in daily litter cleanup within a few blocks of their temporary home base.
The state has authorized religious organization to host temporary encampments and limits local city’s ability to regulate these encampments. The City of Tukwila in partnership with Riverton Park United Methodist Church and TC3 residents host a logistics meeting that includes staff from many departments including Police, Fire, Community Development, Public Works and Human Services prior to campers moving in. This is to ensure all safety and emergency protocols are properly established. This meeting also allows all partners to share concerns, expectations and consequences if issues do arise. TC3 has had many successful visits in Tukwila in years past, and we expect the same from this upcoming visit.

Corleone52 - Have you never been down on your luck? I understand they aren't paying taxes but believe it or not, most of them are working their tail off to get back on their feet. Maybe it is you that needs to have more compassion.
I frequently see very negative posts from you. What are you trying to do as a citizen to help this city instead of complain about everything you think the police aren't doing. Have you tried to even schedule a meeting with the mayor or do you just prefer to sit back and berate him?
I may not agree with everything the city does but I try to look at it from their point of view. They are stretched thin and it isn't always because they aren't putting their priorities in order.
Besides, who are you to decide which actions take priority? Homelessness or crime? They don't always go hand in hand.

Why is this situation closed? It has not been resolved in even the slightest way. School started today and this is an extreme safety issue for children. Maybe Tukwila School District would be better suited to handle this situation since the city just wants to dismiss it and close it like it doesn’t matter.
ALSO- my comments have not yet been cleared to post. It was a very long comment and I would like the people of this community to see it. I didn’t write for it to be hidden.
