Missing Child Found in Washington Encampment | Seattle News

A missing Arizona teen was found safe last week in Olympia’s notorious “The Jungle” homeless encampment — a place where locals say minors are rarely seen. Authorities, following a trafficking tip, located the 15-year-old girl after a decade-old encampment became the focus of a cross-state investigation. Outreach groups confirm adults in the camp actively discourage youth from staying, and they’ve rarely encountered teens — usually only those nearly 18. Now, with the child safe and support underway, the city is turning attention to responsibly relocating the encampment while partnering with federal agencies to ensure no one slips through the cracks.
