Everett Homeless Live Cam

This webcam has been installed to highlight the situation involving a homeless and drug-related encampment along the sidewalk of Smith Ave. Many individuals in this group possess homes but opt to gather in this area to engage in drug use. The presence of this encampment results in significant financial losses for local businesses, amounting to thousands of dollars annually. Their actions include breaking vehicle windows, vandalizing property, intimidating customers, leaving human waste on sidewalks and in parking areas, damaging local gardens, and shattering windows in nearby buildings. A recent incident involved the destruction of a $2800 window at a local establishment. Additionally, they generate immense amounts of litter, which the city must clear away three times a week. The situation has become quite disorganized and deeply frustrating for business owners in the vicinity. We hope that this camera helps resolve these ongoing problems. The live feed can be found at the intersection of 36th St and Smith Ave in Everett, Washington, USA. The individuals in the area are aware of the surveillance. Since the camera was installed, there has been a noticeable decrease in criminal activity and drug transactions. The stream has been operational since early August and will continue indefinitely.
