Right now, the Occupy Seattle encampment at Westlake Center is under attack by the Seattle Police Department according to widespread reports on Twitter. Apparently the Parks Department has ordered the park vacated and police are moving in after issuing a series of warnings. They've also apparently ordered the Media to leave the area. The same tactic that is being used in #OccupyBoston. Ironically, Mayor Mike McGinn spoke to the crowd earlier today and gave support for the #OWS movement.
It seems though that SPD is acting against the express wishes of the Mayor.
UPDATE 12:20 AM it appears that the SPD has held off on arrest pending the arrival of the Mayor's legal team. Also, thanks for the recs. My first recommended diary.
update 12:40 AM it appears that there is inconsistent actions going on now. It appears that the SPD is even after being told to hold off until tomorrow is going ahead with clearing the parks. Also, there are reports that the Seattle Municipal WIFI has been turned off. (it's not particularly reliable anyways...) There is a live feed going on at: http://www.livestream.com/...
