Olympia’s Decay Continues…

This was the second video we produced in the last few months documenting the size, scope and unfolding disaster of the drug camps spreading throughout Olympia. The first video is linked here. These drone shots were taken in January, 2021, and primarily we focused on three camps here – the Capital Lake Camp, the Ensign Road Camp (behind the pot shop), and the Wheeler Camp. These camps have all expanded and become more polluted in a significant way since that time. We have also written a variety of articles about this topic in the City of Olympia (here, here, and here) over the past few years.

While the City of Olympia’s city council is obviously not serious about doing anything that improves the situation in the city, there are some steps that could be taken to help both the people in this situation and the community they are impacting.

This would help improve the current trajectory…

For example, as we have recommended in the past (see here), the nearby Evergreen State College campus could be converted on an emergency basis into a drug rehab/homeless facility for a few years to help with the short term needs. The college itself has been in a steep decline for several years anyway. This 1,000 acre campus has ample parking, extensive dorms, adequate kitchen facilities, and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as classrooms which could be put to good use. Additionally, the nearby Maple Lane facility could be converted into a drug detox facility as well as the McNeil Island facility. A recent video produced by Eric Johnson from KOMO news called “The Fight for the Soul of Seattle” (linked here), addresses this issue from the Seattle perspective, but it applies in Olympia as well.

This video was originally produced and made public on January 20, 2021…

Here are some nice photos of the scenery in the City of Olympia, and while there was once a group of people here who claimed to care about the environment, they have gone silent…

Needles are easy to find, but the supporters of these camps want to pretend that drug addiction isn’t a big part of the problem…

OUR CONSTITUTION BEGINS WITH THE PHRASE “WE THE PEOPLE.” IT WAS THE FOUNDERS’ INTENT THAT GOVERNMENT BE CREATED BY THE PEOPLE, TO SERVE THE PEOPLE. IT WASN’T THEIR INTENTION FOR THE PEOPLE TO SERVE THE GOVERNMENT. IT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED THAT GOVERNMENT WHICH FAILED TO SERVE THE PEOPLE SHOULD BE “ALTERED OR ABOLISHED.” UNTIL WE RETURN TO THE FOUNDER’S INTENT, WE REMAIN WE THE GOVERNED…
