State troopers moved to evict the camp, which had been in place about two months, after the Department of Enterprise Services asked campers Nov. 11 to leave voluntarily, citing health and safety concerns. Campers refused to leave by 12:01 a.m. Friday, instead holding a dance party with loud music that drew several dozen people into the wee hours.

The Washington State Patrol responded to the park at about 7:20 a.m. and told campers via a loudspeaker to leave, said Sgt. J.J. Gundermann, a spokesman.

“When we bring the troops in to clear it out, we’re going to clear everybody out,” he said.

About 9 a.m., authorities did just that. About 30 troopers walked side by side, creating a line that slowly advanced on the camp.

Troopers checked each tent for inhabitants. By then, only a few campers remained, peacefully retreating as the police advanced.

Meanwhile, a temporary fence was quickly erected around the camp, preventing anyone from entering. Crews began using heavy equipment to remove the remaining tents and heaps of belongings. Owners of seized items will be able to claim them from the state until Jan. 9.

Steve Valandra, spokesman for the Department of Enterprise Services, said he didn’t know how long the park will be fenced off. The department will assess the grounds; some grass will have to be reseeded, and debris cleared.

“We found syringes, crack pipes … we want to make sure we go through it thoroughly and restore the turf a bit,” he said.

Valandra said the demonstration had cost his department about $5,300, but that the number will rise.
