Nickelsville is a refugee camp for people displaced by
the Class War in Seattle. Nickelsville 1 was built with permanence in mind
on public land, but eponym Mayor Greg Nickels, true to his campaign promise
to end homelessness in Seattle, enjoined the Seattle Police to slash,
smash and trash the compound. The persecuted took flight and found sanctuary
on church grounds in the U. District, but after 5 months were forced to move
on. This is Nickelsville 3, way down in Renton at the bottom end of Lake
Washington. |
