Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered throughout the city Friday evening as President Joe Biden arrived in Seattle for campaign fundraising events.
Protestors who're calling for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel could be seen throughout downtown Seattle and along the Yesler overpass above Interstate 5.
The downtown protesters who gathered outside of the Lotte Hotel Seattle, where Biden's fundraising event is taking place, began chanting, "Biden, Biden, you can't hide. We change you with genocide" and "The people united will never be defeated." The White House said Biden was scheduled to participate in a campaign event in Seattle at 7 p.m. Friday.
The U.S. Secret Service has the authority to intermittently close roads and freeways during Biden’s visit for security purposes. The SDOT said travelers can plan ahead by “anticipating delays and temporary road closures,” including the flow of buses and cars in downtown Seattle and around the region being affected.President Biden to visit Seattle this week for campaign receptions
