More than 100 pro-Palestinian protesters gathered early Monday morning at the Port of Tacoma to block an incoming ship that will later be heading to the Middle East.
Organizers said the ship Cape Orlando, a U.S. military supply vessel, will be going to Israel and delivering weapons and other military equipment.
The ship was in Oakland, California last week to pick up similar cargo, the group said. On Friday, the U.S. Coast Guard removed three people from the vessel Cape Orlando during a protest in the Oakland Harbor.
