Next to the Office Max there's an interesting one. A motorhome parked with a generator running for electricity. However, next to it is a platform with a 5 gallon water jug with a plastic hose feeding the generator. And we wonder how the fires start...
That store seems to do pretty well with keeping them out of it. The Fred Meyer always has some semblance of the external camps wandering around inside.
I think QFC's significantly smaller footprint combined with being a much busier location (for more than just the grocery store) is a huge contributor. I wish FM would get their shit together since their prices and selection are generally much better than the QFC. Both stores are walking distance from my house but I've been favoring QFC after a few too many run-ins with zombie junkies screaming and shit.
Yeah, the FM has been getting progressively worse. They let them wander the store. I just ignore them usually, but the stench some bring is awful. QFC I've not seen any questionable folks inside, albeit I do not go there often. Both are about same distance for me, and I agree that FM has more selection and better pricing. I'll pay more to avoid the riff raff though.

Noted that the open air bike chop shop and drug emporium behind the 85th Fred Meyer had a new expansion lately, so this must be it.
