Seattle Mayor Wants to Dismantle CHOP Zone Without Resorting to Police

Durkan on Monday announced the city will move to end protesters’ occupation of several blocks in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, but officials have yet to outline exactly when or how it will be done.

However, Durkan noted that efforts to clear the area, originally named the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ), of protesters would be led by community organizers, rather than law enforcement.

She said people would be encouraged to leave the area voluntarily and those experiencing homelessness would be moved to services that can help them.

However, she said that “additional steps” would be taken to ensure community safety if people continued to remain in the area, without stating what those steps would be.
