Olympia working to relocate homeless camp under Fourth Avenue Bridge

The homeless encampment under the Fourth Avenue bridge in Olympia could be moved by the first of the year.

In September, Olympia city leaders decided to postpone the sweep of the homeless encampment under the bridge after First Christian Church stepped up to organize the camp, working with the city on a permanent solution.

Keith Stahley, the interim assistant city manager for Olympia, said he is optimistic the city and local clergy will be able to find a spot to relocate the 17 people living at the camp.

"We have a chance to create a new model here and make a difference. That's what we all want. We want to figure out how to solve all of this,” said Reverend Amy LaCroix with First Christian Church.
