@BrianC503 , which direction are you headed?
Well, I'm currently hitching up the coast to Seattle, I'm in Monterey right now. If we cross paths, we'll have to have a beer or 3.::drinkingbuddy::
I just visited this to investigate. There's no one / nothing there whatsoever, bare (the signs are gone), with no way to enter except by a hole in the fence. I would figure that two (2) months after the initial post that campers and homeless would have converged here? but nothing, which is disconcerting...If anyone's traveling through Tacoma, WA, there's a good spot to camp out, close to both tracks and the I-5 freeway. It's right next to the Tacoma Dome best Western hotel. It's a plot of land owned by the Puyallup Native American tribal counsel here in WA state. It's specifically set up so that people can camp there for free of charge and free of harassment. I'll put some pics of it here, and a video I took if I can. I hope this info can help someone out!
Article said:The Puyallup Tribe not only stepped up and volunteered the use of a nearby vacant lot on tribal land for the free lunches, but leaders rallied their own volunteers to hand out clothing and toiletries. "We gave out everything pretty quickly," Tribal Council member Sylvia Miller said. "I just ran to the store and bought another $300 worth of stuff."
I went to ask and stopped by the front desk. A pleasant security guy was chatting with a woman and I waited for them to finish, then I began to ask about the little lot of land, but then decided to just quote your opening post about it straight from phone. A dude to my right standing in the doorway perked up and started explaining about it when the others became confused, saying it was used for homeless people before, but sometime recently there were needles found in the lot, and it was closed, now only special use permit-type things are allowed for it. It was suggested I speak with 'Sylvia', but I declined and left.I'll go back and ask Puyallup Tribal Administration about it tomorrow after 09:00... Obtaining some form of formal permission would be best, osit.
