Arr, the Seattle scallywags claim that the RV "remediation" in SODO was aye part o' a planned venture. But, mark me words! The rebels be plannin' a grand "RV Park-In" on the 11th o' July. A jolly clash be awaitin'!
Protesters are organizing an event called the "RV Park-In" during MLB's All-Star Game in Seattle on July 11. Despite officials stating that the RV "remediation" in the SODO neighborhood is unrelated to the game, activists are planning to gather in RVs to make a statement. The director of communications for the Seattle mayor's office confirmed that the RV "remediation" had been planned and was not specific to the All-Star Game. RV campers were given notice to vacate the area by July 5.According to the flyers obtained by The Daily Caller, activists are urging people living in RVs to return to the SODO neighborhood at midnight on July 11, once the city's no parking zones expire. The flyer claims that the city has been trying to push them out in order to clear the area for the All-Star Game, and they want to make sure their efforts were in vain. A "party" is scheduled for 1 a.m. on July 11 to celebrate their resistance against the city.
Seattle officials have stated that the RV remediation is part of a previously planned encampment resolution and is not connected to the All-Star Game. The city's response to homelessness has focused on the SODO neighborhood due to a high concentration of RVs and tents. The Unified Care Team crews have been working to provide housing and services to those living unhoused while also maintaining clean and accessible public spaces.
Seattle is hosting the MLB All-Star Game for the first time since 2001, and preparations are being made to address potential protests during the event. Despite the officials' explanations, the activists are determined to make their presence known during the game.
