he first Covid-19 outbreak in the United States stopped Seattle in its tracks. Toilet paper, hand sanitizer and masks vanished from store shelves.
Streets eerily empty. Spouses separated by panes of glass. Businesses boarded up â a canvas for the cityâs muralists to offer some degree of hope. It was a surreal new reality with no end in sight.

Following the murder of George Floyd at the end of the month, thousands poured into Seattleâs streets to continue a fight thatâs hundreds of years old. Demanding justice for Black Americans and an end to police brutality, protesters were met with tear gas and flash bang grenades on Capitol Hill. For months, every single day, throughout the region â people marched.

SEATTLE Seattle’s Cal Anderson Park has officially reopened after a six-month closure that was sporadically enforced and after the removal of an encampment from the park last week, the Parks Department announced Wednesday.
The Parks Department will be setting up pingpong tables and outdoor dining areas in the park to help “activate” Cal Anderson, a news release said. The department will also be creating a children’s scavenger hunt in the park, the release said.
