No word yet on the next move for the homeless group that has set up camp at Discovery Park behind the Daybreak Star Cultural Center.

At our visit today, the group said that things are pretty much up in the air and they are waiting for word from organizers as to what will happen next.  The city has given them notice that they must vacate the property on Sunday night.

The group estimates that there are about 55 people living there right now.  In the rain today most of the members of the group were adding tarps to their tent areas to stay dry and drinking coffee while they waited for organizers to arrive at the site and map out their next move.

One of the members of the group that I talked to said they want to find land where they can stay long term. They originally thought that the the park site was federal land and they could avoid city laws but found out that the land is leased to the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation from the city.

Another man says he does not like other tent city locations because he wants more freedom.  Currently there is a legally recognized homeless encampment at Haller Lake United Methodist Church.  That camp has about 100 people sleeping there each night and is open to new residents

It is not clear exactly what will happen on Sunday night but it is likely to be similar to the action the city took last week at the South Seattle site.  The police department swept the area, arresting 22 people for illegally camping on public property.  They were jailed for a short time and then given Metro bus passes when they were released. 

The members of the group I spoke to said they had not really had any contact with Magnolia residents since they arrived at Discovery Park.  They said no one except the media has visited the camp.

The website and the announcement site for the group have information from yesterday but no updates.
