A herd of fiberglass deer was moved this week from Bellevue streets and sidewalks into the friendlier confines of Bellevue Square after seven of the 26 statues were vandalized.

The Bucks for PACE, decorated by a variety of artists, will be auctioned in October to raise money for the Performing Arts Center Eastside (PACE), set to break ground next year.

PACE officials had hoped to display the deer on the streets all summer, but they lasted only about a month.

The fundraising goal for the deer auction was $500,000, but officials now say they're unsure whether the goal can be reached.

Courts rule in favor of homeless camp

Tent City 4 probably will be allowed to remain at a Woodinville church until the camp's scheduled departure date after two legal victories this week.

A state Court of Appeals panel on Wednesday denied a request by the city of Woodinville to lift a stay of an order that would have forced the homeless camp to leave Northshore United Church of Christ.

The full appeals court also said it would not speed up its longer-term review of the camp's appeal of a King County Superior Court decision that would have evicted the camp from the Woodinville church. If the camp had lost the appeal before it was scheduled to leave the church Aug. 12, it could have been evicted.

A King County Superior Court judge this week also denied the city's request to have the church and camp pay the city's legal expenses of $67,000.

The camp is scheduled to move to Bothell next month.
