Tent City 3 at University of Washington
The Tent City Collective, in partnership with ASUW, is gauging opinions on a potential hosting of Tent City 3.
Tent City 3 (TC3) is a city-sanctioned tent encampment that has nomadically resided (moving approximately every 90 days) in King County since 2000. Seattle University hosted TC3 in 2005; and Seattle Pacific University hosted TC3 twice, in 2012 and again through winter 2014-2015.
Tent cities are under 24-hour surveillance by the sites' own residents, and provide covered shelter for individuals and families. They provide a community-run location to keep belongings and to securely sleep, allowing residents to focus on other tasks: going to appointments, looking for work, and planning for the future.
Tent City Collective is a team of University of Washington (UW) students, alumni, TC3 residents, and community members working to bring TC3 to UW's campus.
