This is unconscionable, kent and desmoines are at fault. What police didn’t do is missing. When will the cities kent desmoines abd federal way put stringent rules in place, no camping on any land, either move, accept help or get out of wa state and do not return be put on no travel to wa list and enforce rules. All cities gave wasted tax money on homelessness but nothing changes
