What is Tent City and what is Tent City 3?
Tent City was developed in 1990 as a means of providing safe shelter for up to 100 homeless adult men and women. There are currently two Tent Cities operating in King County: Tent City 4 operates outside the city limits of Seattle and Tent City 3 principally operates within city limits. Tent City 3, which SU hosted in February of 2005, has been hosted by several area churches including the Jesuit parish of St. Josephs on Capitol Hill and Cherry Hill Baptist Church located near Seattle University.
