So many people driving past the road closed sign, and then burning tires up the street passed the road is closed. I can’t wait for the speed bumps on 20th. Maybe it will slow you people down. I see 40 to 50 mph daily up and down the street.

I’m on 20th. Lots of cars flying down this street. It’s only a matter of time before one of these frustrated people hits a pedestrian. MAYBE after someone is seriously injured somebody will do something to fix this problem. I hope it’s not me since I walk my dog on my street regularly.

West Seattle has no full-time homeless shelters. It has one city-sanctioned tiny-house encampment, usually at capacity with about 50 residents. Just about everyone else living unhoused in West Seattle is in a tent, or a vehicle, or maybe a doorway.
Right now, one group of tent residents on a South Delridge business-district sidewalk has been drawing increasing attention.
The site has grown steadily over this spring, starting on the east side of the building on the northwest corner of Delridge/Roxbury, now extending onto the sidewalk outside businesses on the north half of the block, more than a dozen tents in all, covering most of the sidewalk all the way to the curb.
