Seattle city workers in white overalls, wearing goggles and gloves have cleaned out mattresses, garbage and other debris from a homeless camp in a Seattle greenbelt.
Police rousted a few remaining residents but most were already gone today when the garbage truck arrived. The city gave residents advance notice and offered temporary housing and other services.
About three-dozen people had been living at a dozen campsites in a wooded area near the Queen Anne neighborhood.
A Parks Department spokeswoman, Dewey Potter, says workers will be back next week to make sure the campers don't return.
