Protesters evicted from college site

SEATTLE — Many Occupy Seattle demonstrators folded their tents and prepared Friday to leave the Seattle Central Community College campus.

The college gave them a 72-hour eviction notice Tuesday because of health and safety concerns about the camp.

Occupy Seattle moved to the college at the end of October after being forced out of Westlake Park for illegal camping.

As of late Friday afternoon about half the campers had left or were in the process of leaving.
