POSITIVE SIGNS: Camp Hope in #Spokane is shrinking and visuals are dramatic. @WSDOT_East says it's down to 138 people, a 70% decrease in past two months. State officials are closely monitoring because it could be a playbook to address other encampments.
PROGRESS: There is no doubt the situation is improving on @WSDOT_East property. The proof is in people going into housing. Outreach, numerous volunteers, and leadership of Jewels Helping Hands brokering deals with state officials and buying time has been massive. #Spokane
LATEST FROM WSDOT: This past summer Camp Hope had more than 600 people and was being called state’s largest encampment. Crime and other issues spilling into community. But since camp leaders took new security measures like putting up fence, problems have been reduced. #Spokane 
SUMMER TIME STATS: When I covered Camp Hope in August, it was packed w/more than 600 people. There were calls for immediate sweeps+law enforcement action. Fast forward six months later, focus is now on how they're unwinding this huge camp. It appears to be working. #Spokane
