Nickelsville eviction next week, campers say they 'won't go'
Despite its Sept. 30 deadline to vacate the Port of Seattle owned property at Terminal 107, 4700 West Marginal Way, residents of the homeless encampment Nickelsville said they will not move without going to a permanent location, which is yet to be found.
According to a post on the Nickelsville Web site dated Sept. 22, the tent city will also celebrating its one-year anniversary on Friday.
On Saturday, Sept. 26 residents will celebrate with a party at 3 p.m. at Terminal 107.
More from the Nickelsville post:
"The bad news is that the Port still wants to sweep us next Wednesday, Sept. 30. While we are grateful for Port Commissioners Tarleton and Creighton for meeting with us last week, no permanent location has been found for us to move to.
Without a permanent location, Nickelsville will not move.
If you believe homeless people should have a place like Nickelsville in Seattle, this is your week to take a stand. You are needed Sept. 30. Please check in at the camp any time after first light next Wednesday.
For that week (Sept. 30) only, the Nickelsville Central Committee Meeting (always at 9 a.m.) will be meeting at Nickelsville. You are invited.
The more our friends are standing with us, the better the chance for a good resolution."
