Some state lawmakers are trying to make it a felony crime to intentionally obstruct Washington highways. This comes after pro-Palestinian protesters blocked the expressway leading to Sea-Tac International Airport for three hours Monday. Some Sea-Tac travelers trying to catch flights left their cars and opted to walk to the terminal in hopes of making their flights. Cars and people blocked the roadway - including a group of protesters who used a piping device called a "Sleeping Dragon" to lock their arms together. The group is demanding a permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war, and their protest was part of a larger coordinated effort nationwide to protest the war in Gaza together on April 15. -------------------------------------------------- For more on the lead story: https://komonews.com/news/local/washington-lawmakers-olympia-seattle-tacoma-international-airport-pro-palestinian-israel-hamas-conflict-ceasefire-legislation-spencer-hutchins-house-bill-2358-i5-cosponsors-king-county-prosecuting-attorneys-office-municipal-court-highways-sleeping-dragon _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: KOMO News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KOMONews/ KOMO News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/komonews KOMO News on Instagram: http://instagram.com/komo4 KOMO News on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@komo4seattle Subscribe to KOMO on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC__2_0RJ8XnHt2angfw6S1Q/?sub_confirmation=1 Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G97AyNO_3IE&list=PLZm7uq7_dyY6qhFFIwgXRvYpkaOnZEabc&index=2&t=0s For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.komonews.com/ Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://komonews.com/watch Download our iOS App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/komo-news-mobile/id433508161?mt=8 Download our Android App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.newssynergy.komo&hl=en Have a news tip?
