#Occupyseattle began a little over a week ago but really hit full speed last Sunday during a protest outside of President Obama's event in downtown Seattle during the early afternoon. Since then there have been small gatherings in front of the federal building each week night, and a general assembly late Friday night.
But yesterday was the big day. The media finally took notice.
Starting around 11:00 there was a large gathering in front of Westlake Mall in downtown Seattle (a major shopping destination and essentially the central hub for foot traffic).
