This is a bit dated: - It misses the part where the CHAZ "security" murdered a black teenager, and tried to kill another: https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2020/06/night-of-gunfire-at-capitol-hill-protest-zone-sends-at-least-two-to-hospital/ https://www.capitolhillseattle.com/2020/06/night-of-gunfire-... (topical to the article, though) - The camp is gone, swept up by the SPD re-occupying the precinct. Wrapped up a couple weeks ago. If you want on-the-ground reports from people in the neighborhood (not really the camp itself), there are a LOT of threads about the CHAZ/CHOP on reddit: https://reddit.com/r/seattle https://reddit.com/r/seattle. Lot of trolling, lot of flaming, but also a lot of people who live on cap hill who talk about their experience living next to it.

They did mention his death, they just didn't mention it was CHOP security that murdered him, or the video evidence of the execution ("Oh you're still alive?" followed by a gunshot), or the fact that he was black (ironically making CHOP the greatest per-capita rate of police killings of unarmed black people). They did however mention the very incredulous rumor that the murdered teen and his friend were shooting, which there is no evidence for and a lot of evidence against. Honestly, it's weird that an article criticizing the CHOP security debacle would decide to leave out pertinent details that help bolster the critique. As a side note, there is both/r/seattle and /r/seattlewa. Both of them are seeing heavy traffic from out-of-towners right now, but the general divide is /r/seattle is the left-leaning one and /r/seattlewa is the right-leaning one (at least within the context of Seattle).

  Yeah, I check out both, but didn't feel like wading into that hairball. And to be honest, just picked the one less likely to inspire downvotes and complaints.
