Saturday was a day of protests and counter protests at the University of Washington.
Demonstrations at the University of Washington were largely peaceful Saturday, despite concerns over potential violence from outside agitators.
A handful of arrests were made after a college Republican rally at the campus drew counterprotesters. A couple skirmishes broke out; police responded with pepper spray and UW police said five people were arrested for disorderly conduct.
About 40 conservatives gathered inside a barricaded area in the campus’s iconic Red Square. They were outnumbered about four-to-one by leftist counter-demonstrators. Only members of the media were allowed inside the barricaded zone.
