SEATTLE — When the volunteer-run organization Anything Helps, headed by a man who said he could do homeless encampment outreach better, approached Seattle Public Schools this summer and offered to end an encampment outside Broadview-Thompson K-12, the school district agreed.
The man tasked with clearing a Seattle homeless camp asked an addict to "slam" him with meth, and his organization was barely vetted.
The nonprofit leader entrusted to clear the dangerous encampment at Broadview-Thomson K-8 admits that he took meth with a homeless woman he was supposed to help.
After months of delays, Seattle Public Schools has now established a timeline for the removal of a Bitter Lake homeless encampment.
Seattle Public Schools said Monday that the district hopes to have everyone who’s currently staying an encampment on the shores of Bitter Lake — situated between a school playground and a park playfield — into shelter or housing by mid-December.
