A protest of George Floyd’s wrongful death in Downtown Bellevue on Sunday partially turned into looters stealing and vandalizing surrounding businesses and parks. Community members came together on Monday morning to help pick up the pieces from the destruction, including removing graffiti, vandalism, and trash.
The photos and videos assembled provide context and documentation into the damage left, as well as the clean up efforts.
