Seattle Surrenders Denny Park to Drugs and Homeless Encampments | Seattle Real Estate Podcast

Seattle’s Denny Park overrun with drugs and homeless encampments.

A crime-ridden, garbage-strewn, rat-afflicted encampment which is avoided by all but the addicts and criminals who’ve taken it over.

Oceans of trash fill the tent camps. In 2017, the city of Seattle cleaned up The Jungle, a tent camp near I-5 highway downtown, and removed 3,000 tons—not pounds: tons—of trash. In the first quarter of 2019, the city removed 355 tons of trash from 71 tent camps. Needles are everywhere. A Seattle police officer walking in Baker Park in the city’s Crown Hill neighborhood stepped on a used syringe in 2018 that penetrated his shoe and pierced his foot. At Harborview Hospital he was given treatment to prevent HIV and hepatis. Many parents no longer take their children to Seattle parks.

Most Seattle politicians cannot bring themselves to name the problem, insisting on the words homeless and—even less judgmentally—unsheltered. These words infer that a poor fellow is living in the park because he just lost his job or that a family has been evicted by a heartless landlord. This is not who are in the camps.
