At least eight vehicles appeared to be blocking the road along with a group of people standing in the road. Some passengers could be seen walking past the protest, rolling their bags down the road as they tried to catch their flights.

Police and multiple tow trucks arrived on the scene shortly after the protest began. Nearly an hour after the protest started, the tow trucks began removing the vehicles that were blocking the expressway., 139 flights had been delayed at SEA Monday night. However, it was unclear how many were directly impacted by the protest.

"The airlines have instructed us to tell travelers to check in with them and their specific flight," Cooper said. "So that's up to them as to whether they delay those flights or make other arrangements with those travelers."
