The Locks


Please help by reporting unattended trash at The Locks.   We're currently having a lot of activity around The Locks.  There's sometimes nine to twelve men at a time hanging out on the railroad tracks directly behind The Lockspot Cafe.    Please help by calling the city to pick up trash in our public parking lots and call Ballard Terminal RR co. (206-782-1447) to report trespassing on the railroad tracks.   Click the play button to watch a video clip.

Camper on 48th Moved & Campers Row


I'm happy to report that the camper on 48th NW and his trash have moved on today.  Thank you Seattle Police for your very prompt response.  You'll see in the photo, the old Plymouth is gone for now.  Please keep reporting and posting.  Below is a video clip of Campers Row.  These campers are chronically parked on the outskirts of the Department of Social and Health Services building.  At any given time, there are at least 10-12 campers.  These RVs aren't being moved every 72 hours.  Why should they move, they like it here.  Please contact DSHS and ask their Director, Thomas Shapley to be a good citizen and seek a short-term and long-term solution to this prolific campground.   We need a consorted effort here.   Please take the time to select a few RVs and record their tag numbers, the date, and the location of their parking choice.  Short-term, we want campers to know that the law requires them to move every 72 hours.  Long-term, we want the city of Seattle and the state of Washington to address this epidemic.   These people need a remote site dedicated to them away from residents and businesses.  The new site needs comprehensive social services provided to qualified residents of the state of Washington.  Non-residents need to seek support in the state of their last employment or birth place. 
If you have concerns about the number of RVs illegally parked near DSHS, click here and send a personal email to:  Thomas Shapley, Director.

Human Scat Alert



Watch where you step near the Ballard Storage Building on 48th.  There's an old Plymouth pickup truck camping here.   The truck has a camper with a broken back window.   A bag of trash is sitting at the rear bumper.   A guy is sleeping in the cab of this truck.  What appears to be human scat is in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb.  Another old camper is parked right behind it.  The truck's tags expire this month.  By the looks of it, it's hard to imagine that this truck will start.
