Hundreds of protesters, with the help of a sympathetic City Council member, stormed City Hall on Tuesday and demanded the mayor’s resignation.
A number of people chanted “defund SPD,” referring to the Seattle Police Department. Protesters as well as self-described anarchists and communists have also camped outside the so-called Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, which spans six blocks, including the Seattle Police Department’s East Precinct, which was closed on Monday.
