After a rally in Seattle’s Westlake Park Tuesday afternoon and a camp out overnight, the Occupy CEHKC (Committee to End Homelessness in King County) held a march Wednesday morning.

Police escorted the participants through downtown Seattle at 7:45 a.m. to their final destination at Seattle City Hall. About 60 people participated in the march.

The group has offered up a list of demands on their website, which include support and funding for more shelters, tent cities, eco-villages, and car camps; ending evictions of illegal foreclosures; and maintaining metro bus service and increasing reduced rate bus tickets.
