Mr. Cole, You might want to research this a bit more. There is much consternation in the way this was coordinated with agencies outside of Olympia especially in Lacey where over 30 of these individuals were put in motel rooms at the Lacey La Quinta Inn and Motel 8. Lacey's homeless coordinators where not notified about this move until Dec 7th Kim Konradt, the Homeless Services Coordinator at the city, deserves a lot of criticism for putting these individuals, several with outstanding warrants, in housing right across the street from a preschool and K-12 private school on Park Center Ave. and within two blocks of several public schools. While I applaud providing assistance for the people removed from the Deschutes Parkway homeless camp, I think Kim Konradt and the city of Olympia did their sister cities a disservice in how they "dumped" their problem on someone else's doorstep, literally.
