EAST WENATCHEE – East Wenatchee is conducting a clean sweep of homeless camps within the city. The City Council has approved a one-time $20,000 payment to Douglas County to remove unauthorized homeless camps as part of a previous agreement between the city and county to remove what many residents say are eyesores in the community and present safety concerns, with human waste, knives, and drug paraphernalia piling up at transient pop ups. The city said they will shine the light on the shoreline and Loop Trail area in their cleanup efforts
