People begin to cleaning up their belongings at a homeless encampment underneath Interstate 705 along Puyallup Avenue on Friday, Jan. 28, 2022, in Tacoma, Washington.TACOMA, Wash. — A large homeless encampment beneath Interstate 705 in downtown Tacoma will be cleared next week, the city of Tacoma confirmed on Friday.

When asked whether this sweep had anything to do with the business summit held at the LeMay - America’s Car Museum on Wednesday, in which business owners asked for action by the city against crime, including addressing homeless encampments, Snow said it did not.WSDOT crews will be out later next week to inspect the infrastructure. In the past two months, crews have been out to that location three times to inspect the infrastructure.

Lemke has witnessed the fires that occurred at the site and said in 2021 nine windows were busted out of the building. Abandoned cars make it difficult for volunteers and workers to get in and out of the area.Lemke wrote city manager Elizabeth Pauli in September asking for help, and again in January, detailing the issues he’s seen. He said the system needs to find a way to get people living in the camp housing or other resources.
