There’s been a fierce fight in Burien about the city’s homeless population.

People living in encampments have been moving around for months.

Burien City Council voted to implement a camping ban in late September. It went into effect yesterday.

KUOW’s Casey Martin has been following this developing story for months and is here to tell us about it.
