Capitol Hill

Seattle police started to dismantle the Capitol Hill Organized Protest zone early Wednesday morning after Mayor Jenny Durkan issued an emergency order declaring the blocks-long area an "unlawful assembly" that requires immediate action.

A 16-year-old boy was killed and and a younger teenager was wounded early Monday in Seattle’s CHOP zone — the second deadly shooting in the area that local officials have vowed to change after business complaints and criticism from President Donald Trump.

Stepping up an attack he began on Twitter last week, President Trump on Monday spent more than four minutes at a White House meeting inveighing against Washington Gov. Jay Inslee, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and the six-block protest area now known as CHOP, for Capitol Hill Organized Protest.

President Trump sharply criticizes officials' response in Seattle: "Take back your city NOW. If you don't do it, I will."

At least one person was injured Sunday as a car drove into a crowd during a peaceful protest in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. The Seattle Fire Department said the victim was a 27-year-old male who was shot and taken to a hospital in stable condition.
