Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan's office said it's Seattle Public Schools' responsibility to clear the encampment, and SPS has declined the city's assistance.
SEATTLE - Since July a homeless encampment has been growing behind Broadview-Thomson K-8 School in Seattle’s Bitter Lake community. Neighbors and parents continue to call on Seattle Public School to put children’s safety first and to remove the encampment. Over the past 10 months the homeless encampment behind the school has been grown into more than 40 tents. Neighbors and parents have repeatedly called on Seattle Public Schools for a solution.
