After the city of Burien effectively relocated a homeless encampment from City Hall to a nearby business area, it has tripled in size. Now business owners and nearby residents are demanding help. A lot on Southwest 152 nd Street was leased by Burien C.A.R.E.S. , a local non-profit, where the encampment currently sits. The encampment sits near Town Square Dentistry, a local practice run by Dr. Randy Olson.
