Rantz: Sword, meth, and trash remain as School Board refuses to sweep encampment April 19, 2021 at 5:59 pm Homeless encampment at the park attached to Broadview-Tnompson K-8 has a resident with a samurai sword. (Ryle Goodrich) A growing encampment that threatens student and staff safety at Seattle’s Broadview-Thompson K-8 remains in place. Parents are outraged and concerned. It’s so dangerous the school is fencing off the back end of the campus. They’re even restricting students and staff to use one entrance and exit at the front of the school. It’s more inconvenient, forcing kids to forgo access to the nearby park that they used to enjoy. But it’s safer than letting young children walk through the attached homeless encampment on district property.
