Homeless advocates protest at Seattle City Hall
About 20 homeless advocates have blocked a downtown Seattle intersection near City Hall to protest sweeps that have removed transient camps.
The protesters planned to be arrested Monday following an overnight camp-out at the City Hall Plaza.
The demonstration was organized by the group Real Change. It says the city needs to add shelters for the homeless before cracks down on camps.
The city removes transient camps from greenbelts and underpasses to prevent health and safety problems. Residents are given advance warning and offered social services.
