Tashkent Park is a public park on Seattle's Capitol Hill, in the U.S. state of Washington. Dedicated in 1974, the park is named after Tashkent, Uzbekistan. [1] [2] [3]

According to Curbed , "This little park bisects an apartment-filled block in Capitol Hill. In the middle of the day it has some sunny spots, but it's best for relaxing in the shade, with both a decently-sized lawn and a wide selection of seating options." [4]

The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) or Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), originally Free Capitol Hill and occasionally the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP), was an unlawful occupation protest and self-declared autonomous zone in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The zone, originally covering two intersections at the corners of Cal Anderson Park and the roads leading up to them, was established on June 8, 2020, by George Floyd protesters after the Seattle Police Department (SPD) left its East Precinct building. The zone was cleared of occupants by police on July 1. Its formation was preceded by a week of tense interactions between protesters and police in riot gear which began on June 1 and escalated on June 7 after a man drove his vehicle toward a crowd near 11th Avenue and Pine Street and shot a protester who tried to stop him. Tear gas, flashbangs and pepper spray were used by police in the densely populated residential neighborhood. On June 7, the SPD reported that the crowd was throwing rocks, bottles, and fireworks, and were shining green lasers into officers' eyes. The next day, the SPD boarded up its building and moved out of the East Precinct in an effort to de-escalate the situation.
