The Nickelsville homeless tent camp is supposed to move out of its current location in the U-District on November 15. But instead of being forced to find another temporary home, it could soon have a permanent one across Interstate 5 from Maple Leaf.

A citizens panel appointed by Mayor McGinn recommends that Seattle put a permanent homeless encampment on city land within a month and open up parks and the basement of City Hall to people with nowhere else to sleep.
KING 5 and our news partner the Seattle Times report the potential sites include one on city property at 12098 Stone Ave North near Northwest Hospital. The other sites are in Magnolia/Interbay, West Seattle, and South Seattle. The citizens panel will now look over the list and make its recommendation.
