Camp Second Chance - in Seattle
Nickelsville - Seattle Washington Nickelsville came about in response to the sweeps of encampments ordered by former Mayor Greg Nickels. After six months of organizing Nickelsville set up on an unused piece of city owned land on West Marginal Way on September 22, 2008. Volunteers and donors converged on the site and began setting up tents and building structures. That afternoon the encampment was posted with notifications that it would be swept. Five days later several dozen homeless people and their allies were arrested. Nickelsville immediately set up on an adjacent state owned parking lot. Governor Gregoire allowed Nickelsville to remain long enough to find a new location. Tiny homes for homeless vets are coming to Milwaukee Wisconsin's northwest side
