Downtown Bellevue protests; birds eye view
Crowd moved north on Bellevue Way then dispersed away from something.
2nd group came in from NE 8th. Large support now on Bellevue Way.
A fight between two people broke out with punches exchanged. Group moving east on NE 8th St now. Lots of honking from cars for support! Traffic cones are getting thrown.
Armored police rolled in as crowd continues to move down NE 8th, towards Bravern.
Police wall following.
New police wall formed on Bellevue Way. Seemingly for nothing; more police than protestors here.
Fire warning alarm going off at Lincoln Square North (no signs of anything off). Things otherwise peaceful here.
Broken storefront windows on NE 8th St in Bellevue.
Some damage to Bravern and the Hermes store. Police says there were a few rocks thrown but not bad over all.
Gas/smoke being fired outside Bellevue Square mall parking lot. Protestors moving south on Bellevue Way.
Tear gas was being fired by police on Bellevue Way. Remenants of it still in the air. Protestors kneeling on NE 4th / Bellevue Way.
Looters have made it inside the (closed) mall and are running out with bags of clothes and electronics. I just saw someone with a bag full of Xbox equipment, likely from the Microsoft Store inside. Also seen: handbags, luggage.
Macy’s is being looted through the back entrances while police is responding. More vehicles coming in.
State troopers and more heavily armed response moving north on Bellevue Way. South end still blocked.
Large gathering on 4th St continues, same with casual looting of the mall as police have moved away from it.
This is what was being fired.
