Occupy Seattle was a series of demonstrations in Seattle, Washington, United States in 2011 and 2012, that formed part of the wider Occupy movement taking place in numerous U.S. and world cities at that time. The demonstrations were particularly focused on the city's downtown area including Westlake Park and Seattle City Hall; their stated aim was to oppose wealth inequality, perceived corporate greed, and corruption in the banking and economic systems of the United States.[2]
Occupy Seattle was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York City in September 2011, which in turn were inspired by the Arab Spring.[3]
As late as June 2012, Occupy Seattle continued to engage in organized meetings, events and actions.[4]
