We Heart Seattle group intervenes to help neighborhood with troubled homeless camp

Neighbors in north Seattle say they got tired of waiting for the city to help with a troublesome homeless camp so they turned to a group called We Heart Seattle instead. In the span of two days, all the tents and cars associated with the encampment were gone.
The encampment started to form about four months ago and neighbors said the safety issues continued to grow as well.
Others in the area described the encampment as a haven for drugs and stolen items.

Hat's off to We Heart Seattle. They helped the neighbors & apparently helped several of the homeless as well. May their tribe increase

[@betrevryday1]

Thank You We Heart Seattle 👍

[@overcomer8039]

We Heart Seattle are great! They should receive state funding

[@phoenixwhitcher156]

HELP PEOPLE IN NEED treat people the way you want to be treated ❤

[@francinegreenway8451]

The city needs to make more tiny houses for the homeless like they did by the Ballard Bridge and in Interbay by the QFC

[@PNWSurvivor]

the city IS trying to solve the problem...by ignoring it!

[@davidwilfong5820]

She said it out loud the city still isn't addressing it but the mayor says they all get a raise in pay and the highest paid is the president of the Seattle city council just saying 😅

[@oceania2385]

The city is hopeless in dealing the homeless, almost by design. City funded activist groups want to "exaggerate the contradictions" and justify themselves. Another day of gratitude for we heart Seattle.

Smh

[@mclockwork777]

It will be a mess again soon enough. Seattle lacks the fortitude to do what really needs to be done.

[@scoldeddogproduction]

160million a year spent on homless in Seattle. What are they doing with that money when a group of neighbors have to rely on themselves to get results?

[@sarbantz]

Fentanyl and Tranq.

you mean the government goes so slow people become fed up and fix the problem themselves... color me surprised..
