Other videos on social media showed people dressed in black breaking windows in downtown Seattle and vandalizing parts of Seattle University.
A group began marching through Capitol Hill, First Hill, the Central District, and Downtown Seattle earlier Saturday afternoon chanting the name of Breonna Taylor.
Demonstrations have taken place each night in Seattle since a Kentucky grand jury’s decision to not indict officers in the fatal shooting of Breonna Taylor.
The demonstrations have been in the area of the East Precinct which has been fortified with concrete barricades and fences since police cleared out the CHOP, or Capitol Hill Protest Zone, earlier this summer.
