Nickelsville 10th Anniversary Party, Saturday September 22

Nickelsville Northlake Tiny House Village
3814 4th Ave NE

On September 22, 2008, homeless people and their supporters started an encampment on a piece of city-owned land. Following years of perseverance, Nickelsville remains as a safe, organized, proudly self-governed community. It would not have been possible without the support of our friends. Please come celebrate with us.
