Seattle removes Capitol Hill tent encampment that grew during pandemic Apr 16, 2021
The city of Seattle began removing dozens of tents surrounding Miller Playfield in east Capitol Hill on Friday morning. The tent encampment sat directly next to Meany Middle school and had grown significantly during the pandemic, up to over thirty tents by Friday.
For the past few weeks, campers have either moved out of the park or have been directed into shelter by outreach groups. Neighbors and housing advocates showed up on Friday in support of the camp, but Mayor Jenny Durkanâs office cites safety concerns at the park ahead of students returning to Meany on Monday.
