"Pro-Palestine Protest Prompts Closure of Seattle's U-District Link Light Rail Station"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by KOMO News
Seattle's U-District Link light rail station was closed due to a planned pro-Palestine protest targeting a transportation disruption, with protestors denouncing the links between Sound Transit and multinational conglomerate Siemens for their involvement in Israeli occupation. Sound Transit established a bus bridge between Roosevelt and UW stations, and the protest comes after a previous disruption on Interstate 5. Washington State Patrol is still investigating the previous protest, and critics argue that the organizers had no right to trap innocent drivers.
