Tacoma City Council

The Tacoma City Council has created penalties for unsheltered people who sleep or store property outside sanctioned encampments. The ban covers a 10-block radius around all six of those sites around the city.

Masyih Ford and Armando Farinas, two Tacoma police officers involved in the killing of Manuel Ellis in March 2020, have been exonerated of any wrongdoing following an internal investigation into their conduct in the case.

The Tacoma City Council will vote Tuesday night on the confirmation of Avery Moore as the next chief of the Tacoma Police Department.
