At 1422 hours, officers received information about a large, impromptu demonstration at 7/Jackson involving approximately 100 vehicles and several hundred people. The demonstrators drove onto I-5 NB and proceeded to block the freeway just south of Olive Way, causing a significant public safety hazard and traffic jam NB. CRG/POET were requested and responded to assist Washington State Patrol, who was primary. Once on scene and due to a previous working relationship with the marchers, POET assisted WSP in facilitating communication between them and the demonstrators. Eventually, they ended the demonstration and cleared the freeway. The demonstration ended with no arrests.
