(Screenshot from video posted by KIRO 7 TV's Lauren Donovan/Twitter) Crews are cleaning and picking up trash along a half-mile stretch of homeless encampments in Olympia. Over the next few days, people will hear excavators and others on foot with rakes in hand on Deschutes Parkway trying to clear garbage. Marathon Park walkers told KIRO 7 they are optimistic the city’s $24,000 cleanup effort will do some good. People living at the encampments are not being asked to leave or even take down their tents, as crews are just looking to clean up the garbage.
