We woke up and got ready for the day’s events by waiting for a call from the action team. When it finally came, we raced out to a Quadrant Homes development in Bothell, about 20 minutes north of Seattle. We arrived to find two activists perched on the roof of a model home with a huge banner that read, “We’ll leave your home when you leave ours.” Nobody at the development had realized yet that a model-home takeover was just beginning! We got pictures of the representatives from Grassy Narrows standing by the house, under the banner and waited for the media and police to arrive. Over the next hour or so activists arrived to support the action, media streamed in to document the events, and police came to figure out what to do with us. The home takeover was entirely peaceful, and surprisingly calm. We were clear with our demands and our message – we wanted to hear from Weyerhaeuser CEO Steve Rogel. We wanted to know how Mr. Rogel plans to get Weyerhaeuser out of Grassy Narrows, and the activists on the roof weren’t going to leave willingly until we heard those plans. Toward the end of the afternoon, in an amazingly serendipitous moment, the fire trucks arrived just as two local-news helicopters started circling the model home – we were “Live at 5” on the news! Check out the great news coverage here-. [...] [...] Wednesday was definitely the most adrenaline-filled of the whole week!
