They?ll be sponsoring a weekend work party at some point in the next few weeks to build tent platforms for the camp, and will announce that separately. From SHARE/WHEEL:
In light of the crisis of 57 outdoor/violent homeless deaths already this year in King County, we?re particularly thrilled and thankful to announce that SHARE/WHEEL?s Tent City5 Interbay will be starting TOMORROW...It?s been a long, hard road to get here, and we continue to be grateful to Mayor Murray for his strength of leadership in creating and seeing out a policy of city-sanctioned encampments.? Beloved homeless community member Stacey Davis, who was murdered in the Interbay neighborhood over the summer, will be in our hearts and on our minds as we build this new camp.?We?ll be starting tomorrow with experienced SHARE/WHEEL leaders, and will build the camp up over the next few weeks with donated and purchased materials.
