At Least 7 Arrested After Activists Occupy Washington State Hotel
At least seven people were taken into custody on Sunday in Olympia, Washington, as law enforcement disrupted an attempt to take over a hotel.
Law enforcement officers, including SWAT officers, closed off the road on which sits the Red Lion Hotel and began clearing the hotel floor by floor after employees fled to the basement in fear after activists entered the building, a police spokesperson told The Olympian. Seven people were arrested and officials expected more arrests before the operation was over.
The Olympia Police Department didn’t respond to a request for comment. Arrest records from Sunday showed one arrest at or near the hotel.
Gov. Inslee pauses key road projects to focus on fish passage improvements

Fish over freight and congestion: That’s the battle brewing behind the scenes in the Legislature, with Gov. Jay Inslee “pausing” several key roads projects, choosing instead to push more money to a court-ordered removal of fish barriers.
Gov. Inslee told the Washington State Department of Transportation to put the bidding process on hold for projects that did not meet his directive to focus on fish passage projects. WSDOT head Roger Millar then came up with a list of nine transportation projects that did not meet the criteria, and they include the Gateway Project, which would finish 167 from Puyallup to I-5 and 509 into the Port of Tacoma, and the I-5 projects in Marysville that would add a new on and off ramp to Highway 529.
