Older workers tell me it's like the Sixties and Seventies, only global this time. The police begin attacking again with gas. They want to secure the centre. Some people have been shot in the face with plastic pellets, and tempers are frayed - but to my amazement, people stay cool. Other places, people lose it and fight back.
Armoured cars roam the streets shooting gas at any group of protesters in the way.
Some local kids throw bottles. I leave before the 7pm curfew. In Seattle they believe that a few broken windows and an overturned waste- bin is a civil emergency. The civic pride is touching, but seems a bit exaggerated by English standards. Today the police tactics have changed.
