Inslee Boosts Capitol Security Through Inauguration Day

OLYMPIA, WA — Enhanced security measures on Washington's Capitol campus will continue through at least Jan. 20, including temporary fencing and the deployment of Washington State Patrol troopers and the Washington State National Guard, Gov. Jay Inslee announced Tuesday night.

Law enforcement placed temporary barricades and blocked off a swath of the 500-acre campus Sunday after mob violence in the nation's capital and a breach of the governor's mansion's grounds on Jan. 6.

While larger demonstrations were canceled, a small group of protesters was present in Olympia for the start of the legislative session Monday, leading to two arrests.

Inslee said his decision was based both on recent events and an FBI warning about potential unrest at state capitals across the United States, beginning Jan. 16.
