Love + Rage on an Upside Down US Flag
U.S. flag draped, upside down, on plywood where the entrance to the East Precinct usually is. "Love + Rage BLM" is written across the stripes in black spray paint.
Quote in small print sharpie under the word "Rage." The Quote reads "'Do not let anyone quench your fire. Do not let them dismiss your love nor pacify your rage. My Love, DO NOT WATER YOURSELF DOWN.' Charlie Landeros. Murdered by EPD while picking up children from school January 11th 2019."
Displaying a flag upside down is symbolic of great distress in the midst of danger to life or property. In this instance, it may be correct to say that the flag is representing the distress felt by American people as a result of police corruption, brutality, and the murders of so many Black people.

THESE ARE NOT "BARRICADES" THEY'RE BULLSHIT
This is a photo of one of the barricades set up by the Seattle Department of Transportation after an agreement between some CHOP/CHAZ organizers and the city of Seattle. The agreement was controversial and contributed to the ultimate dismantling of the occupation. The city encouraged residents to paint on the new barricades (as opposed to the property around the area).

Seattle People Department
The entrance to the occupied East Precinct in CHOP/CHAZ in Seattle. It's covered with art calling for funding for Black communities, defunding the police, ACAB, BLM, and equality.
The sign for the Seattle Police Department has been partially covered in graffiti, so it now reads "Seattle People Department."

Breonna Mural CHAZ
This mural is dominated by large, capital letters reading “Breonna.” The text is soft and rounded and is outlined in white. A transparent green wash, curves through the text in a single paint stroke. A darker, yellow paint curved line moves to the forefront and background of the lettering. Small, pink, paint strokes layer on top of the text. Surrounding the name “Breonna,” blue, painted vegetation appears. A light, transparent, blue emanates from the text. The blue vegetation appears to be ferns and vines.

Black and White CHAZ portrait
A mural featuring a black and white portrait of a woman is surrounded by multi colored graffiti. The mural appears to cover existing graffiti, some of which reads “abolish SPD.” Behind the portrait, a pale blue wash emanates around her head, eventually fading to orange and yellow on the right and left corners. Near the left corner of the portrait a poster featuring George Floyd is pasted. The surrounding graffiti, left to right, top to bottom reads: “oink, oink,” “BLM,” “black lives matter,” “CHAZ,” a broken heart, “fuck 12,” “fuck you SPD,” “BLM,” 3 raised fists, and “fuck 12.” Some additional graffiti is illegible.
