Could it be that this was done so that most of the ones who were spread out across the country causing mayhem would have a place to run to where they think federal authorities would not dare pursue them? Remember, Seattle is and has been Antifa central. The “media” would have a field day if the feds tried to push their way into a zone like this to make arrests.
I hope I am wrong and this is just a paranoid conspiracy theory created by my overactive imagination, but...

They are surrounded.
And they are attractive bait for most of their remaining active forces.
That’s how you bait, gather and slaughter feral hogs, right?
Much better to have them all in one place. It’s pustulence coming to a head.
Yes, that was my thought as well. But, to their way of thinking, it makes perfect sense.
