More sweeps happening. This one in Belltown just wrapped. Activists here as well. Streets being blocked off, tents going up, barriers up in anticipation of @JoeBiden @POTUS visit to Seattle. Some asking if sweeps will continue after Biden leaves, or if this was just for show.

Just a block away

This one near Blanchard St. and 5th Ave. under Monorail is being left alone for now. Unclear why. City crews say they’ll eventually get around to it. #Seattle
