Cleanup at Tashkent
#BREAKING: Another #Seattle homeless encampment sweep. This time at Tashkent Park. That’s at least 5 now in the city this past week. Neighbors once again applauding @MayorofSeattle but hoping there is a plan to keep campers away. This park has been cleared multiple times before. pic.twitter.com/VPj3Ki6LAR

FINAL WALK THROUGH: City crews did another tremendous job sweeping trash and debris left behind by the homeless campers at Tashkent Park. Unclear where everyone is headed. But city outreach workers have been here trying get these men and women support and services. #Seattle pic.twitter.com/wdtiNiOie7

REFLECT: I have never seen so many encampment sweeps happening at this breakneck clip. @MayorofSeattle always credits his agencies. Let’s also take a moment to thank the men and women of @SeattlePD @SeattleSPU @SeattleParks @seattlehuman @SeattleHSD for continuing the hard work. pic.twitter.com/mGPVx4m8UT

MORE GOODIES: Crews also discovered three axes, a wire cutter, and a lock cutter. Not implying anything. 😂 Just saying, I am looking at a heavy duty industrial strength lock cutter. I’m just wonder why this is needed at a homeless encampment? #Seattle 🔒 pic.twitter.com/VFxVnUPANv
