Months-long frustrations over a homeless camp in Burien have intensified. King County's general counsel sent a blunt warning to the city, and the city fired back. The debate was sparked by the relocation of a homeless camp downtown from outside the City Hall to a green space at Sixth Avenue Southwest and Southwest 152nd Street. Burien leased the plot of land to a nonprofit to make it a city-sanctioned dog park. The city wants the area swept. But King County officials said its deputies can't — and won't — help.
