The body of a homeless person was found Thursday morning at an encampment next to Burien City Hall. Burien Mayor Kevin Schilling believes an overdose caused the death, although the medical examiner has yet to file a formal report.
Moore denied the allegation and said finger-pointing gets them nowhere and that the problem is systemic. “They have shifted around downtown due to sweeps,” she said. “They never left because this is their home.”“We had a record number of unhoused people in Burien last year. We need compassion and empathy from our leaders,” she said.
