The City of Lacey used federal housing dollars and local transportation dollars to build a massive police training facility. The place is much smaller than Atlanta's cop city—more of a cop village, I guess—but protests broke out in February, and locals remain concerned about transparency and priorities.

Update: On Dec. 30, Fife police came into the Travelodge and evicted the 43 homeless residents. Residents gathered up their belongings and left, some to return to their camp; others accepted shelter placement. No arrests were made, though Fife police are continuing to “investigate” the occupation as a criminal matter. Fife City Manager Hyun Kim had previously told organizers that hotel vouchers would be provided to the Travelodge residents; instead, a non-profit organization offered 10 “tiny homes” to house 43 people, most of whom do not qualify for tiny homes which are supposed to be for couples and people with children. Despite the eviction, the intervention and threatening behavior of armed rightwingers and the discovery that several residents and supporters had tested positive for COVID-19, organizers view the occupation as a victory in that it brought 43 people in from the cold for six nights.
