The Cascade Park and P-Patch Are Being Neglected by the City of Seattle
Hi fellow neighbors and Seattleites.
As a frequent visitor of the Cascade park and garden, it’s hard not to notice the amount of illegal camping, dumping, and crime taking place on Parks and Recreation property. It feels like this is one of the few parks in the dense Seattle core that still deals with so many issues related to homelessness.
Myself and other community members have tried to use the Find it, Fix it app. We also have reached out to council member Kettle and the parks department directly. But this issue is never solved.
There are elderly and vulnerable people that frequent the park or participate in the P-Patch that essentially have to fend for themselves because of inaction at the city level. The garden and park have to deal with human feces, vandalism, theft, and more without any long term solutions.
I wanted to reach out on here as a community member looking for help. Does anyone have suggestions for what myself and others can do to make this park desirable and safe again?
Thank you.
