More Sweeps Happening
May 4, 2022 | For more than a year, the Leary Triangle homeless encampment in #Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood had its fair share of complaints about trash, drug use, and illegal activity. It’s on @seattledot property and being clear this week. Here’s a final look.
Leary Triangle homeless encampment sweep underway. Activists on site but so far no confrontations. This camp has been a thorn in the side of businesses in area, especially for @fremontbrewing, owned by @CMSaraNelson’s family. Crews more than halfway done.
Final sweep today at Ballard’s. Leary Triangle. Biz owners telling me they want @MayorofSeattle to know how much they appreciate follow through on promise to sweep problematic encampments that are public safety hazards. Also thanking @SeattleParks @SeattleSPU
Future of Leary Triangle
Biz owners nearby told me @CMDanStrauss wanted to turn this property into a dog park for this Ballard neighborhood. We shall see if that happens. In the meantime, even this RV is being towed today. Appears to be abandoned.
