Seattle officials announced on Monday that they would begin to dismantle the six blocks of occupied streets known as the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or “Chaz”, following two shootings at the site in 48 hours.

“It’s time for people to go home. It is time for us to restore Cal Anderson and Capitol Hill so it can be a vibrant part of the community,” said the Seattle mayor, Jenny Durkan, during a press conference. “We can still accommodate people who want to protest peacefully, come there and gather. But the impacts on the businesses and residents and community are now too much.”
Durkan said Seattle police would be returning to the east precinct, the site they abandoned after a series of dangerous clashes between protesters and law enforcement.
She said they’ll do so “peacefully” and “in the near future” but did not offer an exact timeline.

So the mayor talks out of both sides of her mouth, not surprised, that is what you have to do politically-wise, both Republican and Democrat.
It is a surprising reversal when she said only a week ago that they were going to have the Summer of Love. Hard to have the summer of love when CHOP / CHAZ / Whatever was having sexual assaults, shootings, arson, etc.. So much for being peaceful. Guess Raz Simone is going to have to find another job to go back to, unless he takes his dog and pony show on the road and sets up another CHOP somewhere else. Washington maybe?
