SEATTLE — A group of several hundred protesters marched through downtown and Capitol Hill streets in Seattle.
The Black Lives Matter rally Thursday evening lasted hours as people walked through the city, at time blocking streets and chanting, "No justice, no peace, no racist police," among other refrains.
Chopper 7 footage showed vehicles stuck in crowds and people talking into megaphones.
The rally had made its way to Seattle Capitol Hill neighborhood.
