On June 8th, 2020, protesters declared the Seattle Autonomous Zone after police abandoned the area to de-escalate interactions with protesters. Before the establishment of the Autonomous Zone, police used tear gas in an attempt to clear the region.
After police in Seattle, Washington retreated from the Capitol Hill neighborhood, protesters took over the abandoned ‘regime’ precinct and erected barricades to mark an ‘autonomous zone’ for several blocks around it.
Six blocks of downtown Seattle have been declared the ‘Free Capitol Hill Zone’ or ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’ (CHAZ), according to area activists that have taken control of Seattle PD’s East Precinct, on 12th Avenue and E. Pine Street.
