Seattle City Council meeting disrupted by protesters banging on windows, 6 arrested
Six people were arrested Tuesday after police say they disrupted a city council meeting.
Officers were called to Seattle City Council chamber around 2:55 p.m. “as people filled the room and continued to interfere with the session,” police said in a news release.
The three men and three women were told to leave the chamber, but police say they refused and were told they would be arrested if they continued to interrupt. All six were charged with criminal trespass, and one of the men was also charged with obstruction.
Video of the meeting was posted on the city’s Seattle Channel website, lasting just under two and a half hours. Two recesses were taken during that time, including one taken at the time police were called. It was supposed to last 15 minutes but went on for more than an hour.

Police say the city council meeting was able to resume after the arrests and many others left the chamber without any issues, but chanting and banging on windows could be heard when council members attempted to continue.
“Our physical safety is being threatened by the actions of the demonstrators outside banging on the windows, which could easily get broken, and we will have a mob scene,” District 5 council member Cathy Moore said while asking for police assistance. “I physically feel threatened.”

The protesters were referred to as “progressive activists” by local radio reporter Jason Rantz on the social media platform X. He said they were demanding that the city fund housing for refugees, even though “they are not even being housed in Seattle currently.”
Many of them used the public comment portion of the meeting to talk about the issue.
“The issues of refugee housing and police surveillance are related,” a woman named Lauren said. “More money for police surveillance and ineffective and racist technologies like [‘Spothotter’] means less money for asylum seekers and other low-income people who desperately need housing.”

Seattle police would not identify the six arrested following an inquiry from Fox News Digital, instead referring to the public records request process. All six were said to be booked into the King County Jail.
No injuries or use of force by Seattle police officers were reported.

NFL Draft prospects rate themselves on Madden
USAT’s Chris Bumbaca asks some of the top NFL Draft prospects what they would rate themselves in Madden after their rookie year.
Sports Seriously
That’s a wrap for the 2026 NFL Draft. Three days of the top football prospects yearning to actualize their dreams of making it to the NFL, are in the books.
The San Francisco 49ers concluded their selection after adding eight new players through the draft including Mississippi receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, Texas Tech edge Romello Height and Indiana running back Kaelon Black.
All of the 49ers players were selected in the second round or later, after the team traded the No. 27 overall pick for extra selections.
“Our gut was to stay and pick. We really like De’Zhaun Stribling. Everything that he stands for. The player, the person. We have a deal, the highest standard as a 49er in our draft process is called the gold helmet. It’s checking every box, on the field, off the field, athleticism. De’Zhaun was one of the 16 that we gave this year,” 49ers general manager John Lynch said. “So to make that your first pick at wide receiver, the way that he plays, his physicality that he plays with, his speed, his size. We just love the whole package and it kept growing and growing to the point where we were proud to make him a 49er.”
The full list of 49ers draftees includes Oklahoma defensive tackle Gracen Halton, Washington offensive lineman Carter Willis, Washington defensive back Ephesians Prysock, Louisiana linebacker Jaden Dugger and Kansas offensive lineman Enrique Cruz Jr.
While some players in the draft immediately earn starting jobs on their new teams, the newest 49ers most likely won’t be. Between key starters returning and splash offseason signings, San Francisco’s incoming rookie class will look to earn time on the field starting as second- or third-string players.
Here’s a look at the projected depth chart for the 49ers following the 2026 draft:
