Several hundred protesters marched through Seattle Tuesday evening from Capitol Hill and into City Hall.
According to a reporter who followed the march, Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant was with the demonstration and opened the door with a key to let a few hundred protesters inside. They began to chant and gave speeches in the City Hall lobby area.
The demonstration at City Hall started around 9 p.m. Around 10:20 p.m. protesters said they would head back to Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill.
The group that had a majority of Antifa and BLM members called for the resignation of Mayor Jenny Durkan. The group also called for the defunding of the Seattle Police Department. Photo below:
“Whose City Hall? Our City Hall! Whose City Hall? Our City Hall!” demonstrators shouted.

Sawant herself also spoke to the mob, calling her colleagues “sellouts” and “corporate politicians.” Sawant called for accountability from the city.
“If Mayor Jenny Durkan refuses to step down, I will introduce articles of impeachment,” she said.

More protesters joined the group:
“In the beginning, the organizer’s first job is to create the issues or problems.”
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
“The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.”
“The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.”
Rule for radicals.
