I live in Seattle from tent city on 143rd, I dont like the drug use on our street or the lack of notification of tent city coming. Doesnt Shoreline care about the whole community.
Dear Anonymous -
Tent City has a strict No Drugs / No Alcohol policy, and in my visits to Tent City, I've never seen any illegal behavior.
Additionally, Prince of Peace Lutheran Church notified all residents within a certain radius before Tent City arrived and held a public forum for neighbors to express concerns. The handful of folks who showed up were all in support of Tent City being part of our neighborhood. We apologize if we missed you.
