To wrap up this week's discussion on the Navigation Team, I don't believe anyone wants the sweeps to continue. We want the problems on our streets solved. We want treatment for addicts, treatment for mental illness, and enforcement of laws. The campers keep returning because the Seattle City Council enables their behavior. It is a never ending cycle. Rather than solving problems, current council members and other candidates affiliate with groups like the one below, who advocate giving weapons to drug addicts and the mentally ill. We need new leaders in City Hall who will change the status quo and provide practical, compassionate, common sense solutions. www.hoffmanforseattle.com ... See MoreSee Less

This interactive map, created by my research team, shows all the data available on non sanctioned encampment cleanups in 2017 & 2018. A lot of the unsanctioned camps near my home and office are not on this map because they have not been contacted by the NAV Team yet. Click on a site to see the official reports of sites near your home and office to see what the NAV Team found in your neighborhood. www.hoffmanforseattle.com ... See MoreSee Less
Seattle’s Unauthorized Homeless Encampments - Google My Maps

A photo view of illegal encampments swept by the Seattle Police Department Navigation Team. Data start date: March 17, 2017 Data current through: July 27, 2018 *not all encampment removal reports are available, some data points missing. 2 days ago ·
What does the Navigation Team find when they clear an unauthorized encampment? Needles, weapons, drugs, stolen property, children and more. These pics are from cleanups in 2017. The bag of brand new needles was found in an encampment right near a needle exchange which is more likely a needle dispensary. The operators of "the exchange" have even made videos showing people how to use heroin. The same people have said they are going to set up injection sites around Seattle. Seattle needs treatment options for drug addicts, not to enable drug use www.hoffmanforseattle.com
