On June 8, 2020, domestic terrorists seized control of the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, USA, and declared it to be an autonomous zone, immediately setting up walls and barricades at its borders, adorned with placards stating, “You are now leaving the USA.”

On June 10, two days later, Washington State governor Jay Inslee was asked to comment on the situation, and he responded by claiming he had no clue what the reporter was talking about.
