Occupy Everett, Nov 2011

Some good photojournalistic stuff here. Just out of curiosity, what was the occupation about? There's a lot of land and even more water that separates me from this place and its goings-onThanks

Oh, it was mostly "banks suck" type of stuff. People were marching about, trying to get the government to crack down on the stuff that brought about the housing loan market collapse. The local group held up until it got cold with snow on the ground, and then they packed up and went home. The local city government gave them an unlimited camping permit, but the key factor is that they actually had to be out there and camping.
