SEATTLE - Authorities cleared out a homeless camp along I-90 over public safety concerns for drivers after hundreds of debris-throwing incidents were reported on local freeways.
There were some demonstrators along 23rd Avenue South Thursday morning, protesting the clearing of a camp where people experiencing homelessness had sought shelter. The protests were small and peaceful.
Homeless camps along I-90 to be swept Thursday
The encampment along I-90 will be cleared on Thursday
SEATTLE - The problem is nothing new for the Washington State Department of Transportation or officials from the city of Seattle: homeless encampments alongside or underneath freeways intermingle between city and state property boundaries.
That is what has happened along the greenbelts surrounding Rainier Avenue South and Interstate 90 this week. Rocks and debris were tossed onto the freeway damaging vehicles. The incidents grew into more than 200 similar reports since January.
On Tuesday, Washington State Troopers arrested a man accused of throwing materials into freeway traffic. The latest incident spurred WSDOT to announce a plan to sweep a pair of homeless encampments along the interchange. It was described as a matter of public safety, insisting those experiencing homelessness in the immediate area would have to leave Thursday.
