Protesters and police discuss the Seattle Autonomous Zone or CHAZ, what s next

By Thomas A. Smith

I think it means a lot of things. Everything in the autonomous zone is free right now, said Kate VanPetten, who works at Caffe Vita in the neighborhood. It s an anti-racist zone, she said. VanPetten said she and most employees have been participating in the protests almost every day.

Many businesses in the area that are starting to reopen amid the pandemic are supporting the movement.

We ve been setting out free coffee for the protesters and doing everything we can to support them, VanPetten said.
