Tacoma wants payback for costs of policing anti-war protests
Tacoma authorities say providing law enforcement during last month's 12-day anti-war protests cost the city about $500,000, and the city plans to ask the Port of Tacoma and the military to cover some of the costs.
Tacoma police increased law enforcement at the port during the convoying and storage of Stryker vehicles from March 3 until a ship carrying the military equipment left for Iraq on March 14.
The activity drew protesters nightly.
Seattle police, the Washington State Patrol, Bellevue police, the Coast Guard and sheriff's officers from Pierce, King and Thurston counties augmented the Tacoma police presence.
