Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced Monday the city will begin to wind down the blocks-long span of city streets taken over by residents.
Durkan said the city is working with the protesters to bring the zone to an end.

Protesters took over the area in early June, cordoned off several blocks after clashing with police during protests for George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
During one of the protests, a man tried to hit protesters with his car and fired several shots from a gun as he fled the scene.
After police abandoned the city’s East Precinct building, protesters blocked off the area and declared it a police free zone.
