SEATTLE - Neighbors living next to Albert Davis Park in Seattle's Lake City are begging city leaders to do something about a growing homeless camp at the park.

The neighbors say they are living in constant fear and apprehension after a recent double shooting and explosion at the camp.

"I don't think I've slept more than a couple hours, any night this this week," says Shannon Ellis-Brock, who lives near Albert Davis Park.

She says drugs and crime are rampant at the camp, which took over the park when the pandemic hit over a year ago.

1. Seattle tells homeless campers to clear out after double shooting, fire at Lake City park

It’s been a troubling past week at Albert Davis Park in Seattle’s Lake City neighborhood. Two people were shot at a homeless encampment on Thursday. Then Friday, a series of propane explosions led to a fire at the park, burning up a tree and several tents.

The city of Seattle stated the fire department has responded to the park six times over the course of a single week.

“I woke up to my husband yelling, ‘They set the park on fire!’ And I’m like, ‘What?’” said Shannon Ellis-Brock, who lives across the street. “It was huge.”

As for the shooting, Seattle police said according to witnesses, someone went up to the door of a recreational vehicle at the park and shot a man inside. Another victim showed up at the hospital. Both survived.

“None of us have felt safe living here in a very long time. It’s scary,” Ellis-Brock said. “It’s sad it got to that point.”
