CHOP Protestors Stall City of Seattle | Barricades Remain | Still No Police

CHOP protesters refuse to let city workers clear out parts of protest zone

Workers from Seattle's Department of Transportation (SDOT) ended up leaving the CHOP after two hours of staging equipment around the protest zone without removing barriers.

The Seattle Police Department East Precinct has been vacated - pushed out by protestors. This roughly 6 block area has been without police or real law since June 8, 2020.
City crews arrived in Seattle early Friday morning to remove barriers in the downtown "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" zone (CHOP) but were met with resistance from protesters, who laid in the streets in front of vehicles and on top of makeshift structures.

Frustrated City workers were met with resistance by protesters, who grew increasingly agitated and aggressive.

Workers from Seattle's Department of Transportation (SDOT) arrived around 6 a.m. local time with trucks and heavy construction machinery and were staged around the edges of the protest area. They ended up leaving the site at 8 a.m. without removing the barriers.

City workers intended to remove barriers blocking roadways and clean up Cal Anderson Park, which has been inhabited for weeks by protesters in tents.

Seattle City Mayor, Jenny Durkan announced on Friday, that the Seattle City Department of Transportation will remove all barriers in CHOP with the exception of an area surrounding the Seattle Police Department East Precinct. No date has been set on when the Seattle Police Department will retake the East Precinct.

It is rumored that CHOP will be dismantled and all occupants asked to leave by authorities on Monday, June 29, 2020.
