Tent City moving onto 25th and King Friday

We received a notice today that Tent City is moving into the field behind the Mount Baker Baptist Church on Friday and will stay there for up to 90 days. Even though this is across from our home, this is the first we've heard of it. 

According to the notice, there will be a community meeting on Thursday, Feb. 4, at 6:30 at the church to discuss the encampment. There is enormous drug traffic at that corner and we are harassed daily and offered drugs regularly.  While I am hopeful that Tent City will not increase this activity, I am concerned that it may.  If you have concerns, please attend the meeting at the church tomorrow night at 6:30.  While this is apparently a done deal, hopefully neighbors can help relay the importance of close monitoring of all activity.
