Previous to joining KIRO Newsradio, James served as FOX 13 Seattle's senior reporter for over a decade and also served as communications chief at the Pierce County Prosecutor's Office. “Everything went smoothly,” SPD Detective Eric Munoz said. “The event lasted a number of hours, and there were no significant injuries, no major incidents, and of course no loss of life, and there were no arrests related to the event. ” SPD said it had prepared for the event for several weeks. Schedules were adjusted, officers volunteered, and more officers were brought in just for a show of force and in case things got out of hand. Munoz said the peaceful turnout was exactly what the department hopes to see. “We appreciate it when there are no significant incidents, especially property damage,” Munoz said. “We want people to use their First Amendment rights and do so peacefully and safely, and that’s exactly what they did.”The rally was held at Cal Anderson Park, and then the crowd marched through the city to Seattle Center, where the group remained peaceful.
