Apparently, the revolution has come to Olympia, and Griswolds has been "taken" (also posted at Portland IMC):

 We have occupied Griswald's on 4th Avenue. We do not believe in private property and thus feel no remorse about reclaiming an unused, burnt out, abandoned buidling.

They have a list of demands in bold face, including:

 6) THE CITY COUNCIL DISSOLVE ITSELF AND CEASE TO EXIST

If not, then:

If these simple demands are not met, a group of us will remain locked down in the upstairs room of the building. You will NOT be able to remove us. We will not negotiate with anyone besides Doug Mah.
The only thing I don't understand is the moniker they're using: The Olympia Chapter of the Eugene Anarchists. I know that Eugene is somewhat bigger than Olympia, but aren't we big enough to have our own anarchist organization? Why does our group have to be a local chapter of a Oregon based organization? Or is an anarchist organization something like a libertarian political party?

Though, their claim on Griswold's reminds me of this.
