It was TGIF, even in the #CHAZ. I’ve been trapped at my computer for what feels like weeks, 💻 so this afternoon I ran an errand and decided to check out the scariest place in Seattle.🎯 I’m talking about the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, the location of the former Seattle Police Department east precinct, 👮🏾 now relabeled “The Seattle People Department.” The violent demonstrations of the past week seemed to be on pause. It wasn’t scary—It felt like a gigantic block party. 🎉 The streets and buildings are painted with #blacklivesmatter art, and boarded up windows are now covered with murals.🎨 There were live music performances, 🎼 sidewalk vendors and tons of people taking photos and videos.📱 Six city blocks are closed off to cars and filled with people. 🚧The majority were wearing masks.😷 Capitol Hill is the center of a national debate. Should anarchists be allowed to call the shots?✊ For now it’s peaceful.☮️ But what happens next? Has anything like this happened where you live?🏡 #CapitolHillAutonomousZone #CapitolHill #Seattle #protests #demonstrations #blm #blacklivesmatter #demonstrators #peace #peaceful #policefreezone #SPD #streetart #art #graffiti #anarchy #protestors #TGIF #blockparty Some are still concerned about #COVID19 #coronavirus #stayhome #staysafe (at CHAZ - Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBXc80wsU81/?igshid=xo60as675m0q
