According to the event’s directors, the march is not being permitted because the Seattle Police Department has declined to provide traffic control, citing low staffing levels.
“We are stunned as we have been always [been] informed by the city that police are required to provide traffic control for marches per Seattle code 11.25.110 which requires police to conduct traffic control for safety,” said Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson, directors of Capitol Hill Pride, in a statement. “And even with low staffing we find it hard to believe SPD cannot conduct simple traffic control for a two-block long march route which includes an intersection at the East Precinct.
The directors say they have received insurance for the event and plan to request assistance from the Seattle Department of Transportation and Seattle Fire Department if needed. They expect more than 2,000 attendees.
