The Seattle Police Department (SPD) moved into the "Capitol Hill Organized Protest" (CHOP) zone and returned to the department's East Precinct early Wednesday morning.
The precinct was evacuated on June 11.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan issued a 48-hour executive order for protestors to vacate the area due to the ongoing violence and public safety issues in the area of the East Precinct and Cal Anderson Park. Mayor Durkan's order declared the gathering as an “unlawful assembly” that required immediate action.
Police moved into the CHOP just before 5 a.m. and issued a dispersal order to any protestors in the area. Police tweeted at 5:20 a.m. that 10 people had been arrested. Another tweet at 5:30 a.m. said three other people were arrested at 12th and Pike.
"Anyone who remains in the area, or returns to the area, is subject to arrest," SPD tweeted.
Seattle Police Chief Carmen Best said during a press conference Wednesday morning that officers searched the East Precinct to make sure there “weren’t any obstacles or any other concerns in the building.”
Chief Best said officers cleared the building, but haven’t moved into the precinct at this time.
Chief Best said SPD would start operations at the precinct “as soon as we reasonably can.”

If the mayor wasn’t a leftist turd, this would have been over before it took root.
To hate capitalism so much, they sure did have a lot of tents and other urban camping supplies which were made by..... capitalists.
They hate capitalism, but they don’t mind the comfy world that capitalism has made.
