Tents Popping Back Up in Pioneer Square

Anyone Call the City? Last week, I spotted 1 tent back on 3rd Ave. in Pioneer Square. This area was cleared last month. City says if people email or use Find It Fix It to report, it will be addressed in 48hrs. It’s now been roughly 3 days and 2 more tents have appeared. Last Week Only this “double tent” was set up again on 3rd. Ave in Pioneer Square, in this same area that was recently cleared by city crews. Last Month More than a dozen tents were removed from 3rd Ave in Pioneer Square.
