KIRO 7 News StaffBURIEN, Wash. — Frustrations are mounting after some people who were living at a homeless encampment that had just been cleared outside Burien’s City Hall and Library building have moved to a space a block away.
Burien’s City Council meeting on Monday turned into a three-hour debate about how to handle the homelessness issue. For more than an hour, council members talked about options for housing and restroom facilities before a community member demanded solutions. Today the Burien Condo Association began enforcement of their new policy which bans overnight camping on the Burien Library and City Hall property. The prohibition is part of a new code of conduct the Burien Condo Association adopted.
