Growing homeless camp on Seattle's Capitol Hill underscores citywide issue

Dozens of tents line Pendleton Miller Playfield and the adjacent Meany Middle School on Seattle's Capitol Hill. Neighbors say the homeless camp grew during the COVID-19 pandemic and spread even faster after the CHOP closed last summer.

“This isn’t a humane or healthy way for people to live,” said a longtime Capitol Hill resident who didn’t want to be identified.

Seattle mayoral candidate Colleen Echohawk calls the homeless situation a “humanitarian crisis.”

“We have to do something," said Echohawk. "We have to do better. We have a humanitarian crisis on our hands." https://www.king5.com/article/news/local/homeless/growing-homeless-camp-on-seattles-capitol-hill-underscores-citywide-issue/281-e6a32011-f7e5-414a-9f84-5185501a66a3
