SEATTLE - Encampments in Washington pop up quicker than the state can clear them, and officials in the Governor's office hope a $1 billion investment into housing will help fix the issue.
Friday, WSDOT and Seattle Police worked to clear out charred debris from the encampment where a massive fire burned last week.
Documents say a battle between rival camp leaders, that included explosives, drugs, and guns, led to a brush fire burning off the I-5 exit near Harborview Medical Center.
A week later, state and city crews cleaned up the debris from the camp.
