A look inside Seattle’s newly-formed ‘Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone’

Join Freedom Is Essential New Jersey on FB at:   / freedomisessentialnewjersey   On June 8, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced that police at the city’s East Precinct would be leaving the area and reopening streets that had been blocked off for almost two weeks. It didn’t take long before what’s become known as the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone” began to take shape. Barriers originally set up by police have been repurposed to set up the borders of the zone. What used to be the Seattle Police Department on the corner of 12th and Pine now reads “Seattle People Department.”
