Descrição
The Riverton Crest Cemetery's fence which borders the Cascade View Elementary School's schoolyard is broken and has been trampled by visitors who routinely gather in Riverton Crest Cemetery at all hours in the northwest corner of the cemetery where they routinely drink alcohol and smoke marijuana. Every day. This has been an issue since August of 2016.
The gatherers routinely urinate in full view of cemetery visitors as well as the houses which border the cemetery.
It's very troubling that the owners of the cemetery do nothing about these gatherings. Putting up a higher, more robust fence would be a start in the right direction.
FWIW, for everyone's safety, it should be assumed that any vehicle exiting the cemetery (even during business hours) is being driven by a an impaired driver.
This is a public safety issue and should NOT be ignored.

This distinction may or may not be important but it's worth clarifying. I think this site uses the term "camping" to refer to homeless people??
But I see the category has been changed to "Camping" but the visitors are NOT campers. They are daily visitors to a grave site. They drive in and then drive out back to where they came from.

Code Enforcement has also been in contact with Cemetery staff (office manager and cemetery superintendent). The superintendent and I met on-site to discuss this situation. He is well aware of the issues raised here, and they are working to find better solutions to security and access at the cemetery.
Should you have further questions or concerns, you may contact me directly at 206-431-3682, and I will pass those concerns along to the superintendent personally.
Thank you all for your concerns about your neighborhood and community and for taking then time to report those concerns to City staff.

The walking trail is used by Cascade View Elementary Students everyday. We have seen tents behind the Cemetery, garbage left behind on the trail and the community garden.
We don't want our students walking on these conditions.
